Just how low will Adolf Benji and his bunch of Nazis go?

Satellite imagery reveals extent of destruction of Commonwealth war graves in Gaza.

Dozens of graves belonging to Australian soldiers located inside an historic Gaza cemetery are feared to be damaged or destroyed following Israeli military operations over recent months.

Earlier this year, international media reports suggested at least 16 cemeteries had been desecrated during the Israel Defense Force's (IDF's) ground offensive against Hamas, launched in response to the deadly October 7 terrorist attacks.

Recent satellite imagery has revealed the extent of damage to one of the sites, the Gaza War Cemetery at Deir El Belah, which is mainly dedicated to fallen Allied personnel and is administered by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC).

The Gaza War Cemetery contains over 3,600 Commonwealth burials, mainly from World War I. Around 260 of the graves are dedicated to Australian soldiers, primarily light horsemen killed in 1917.

Now a series of images produced by Canadian geospatial firm SkyWatch appears to show the Gaza War Cemetery and its surrounds have been heavily damaged.......

They'll desecrate anything. :-(

Adolf Benji is not receiving the welcome that he was looking for in the U.S. as Israelis and Palestinians come together in protest of his even being there instead of signing a peace deal.

Thousands protest against Benjamin Netanyahu's address to US Congress, calling for an end to assault on Gaza.

It looks like only the MAGA morons want to actually see the crooked butcher.

It's still not enough and more should be implemented.

Australia imposes sanctions on seven Israeli settlers in West Bank.

Australia has imposed financial sanctions and travel bans on seven Israeli settlers and a religious group occupying parts of the West Bank.

This follows the International Court of Justice's confirmation that Israeli settlements in Palestinian territory were illegal under international law.

Israel's government dismissed that finding as "blatantly one-sided" and not legally binding.

Following the United Nations' court opinion, Australia has sanctioned seven settlers: Yinon Levi, Zvi Bar Yosef, Neria Ben Pazi, Elisha Yered, David Chai Chasdai, Einan Tanjil and Meir Ettinger, as well as religious group Hilltop Youth, which is dedicated to establishing settler outposts throughout the West Bank.

The sanctions are the first against Israelis over settlement activity in the West Bank.

Foreign Minister Penny Wong said those sanctioned had been involved in grave violence against Palestinians.

"These individuals have been involved in violent attacks on Palestinians including things such as beatings, sexual assault and torture resulting in serious injury and in some cases, death," Senator Wong said.

"The entity sanctioned is a youth group that is responsible for inciting and perpetrating violence against Palestinian communities.".....

Adolf Benji is not receiving the welcome that he was looking for in the U.S.

I listened to Benji's speech live yesterday, rebroadcast by the BBC. Ugh.

It was exactly the same old, same old story. I couldn't discern the slightest evidence that his attitude and negotiating technique would change if he was facing Kamala Harris across the table instead of Biden or Trump. But the commentators before and after were suggesting that a change of tone would be vital.

Between him saying 1 thing to his angry mob before leaving Israel and then doing a complete flip in the U.S. I'd say that's he's in for even more trouble with his angry mob when he gets backs home.

The angry mob back at home is getting angrier.

Israeli hostage-release deal 'deliberately sabotaged' by Netanyahu government, says advocacy group.

A group rallying for the release of Israeli hostages held in Gaza has alleged "sabotage" of efforts to free them.

The accusation from the Hostages and Missing Families Forum came amid Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to Washington.

Mr Netanyahu, whose critics accuse him of prolonging the fighting, was to hold talks on Thursday with US President Joe Biden, who had been pushing a truce and hostage-release deal.

In a speech to the United States Congress on Wednesday, the Israeli prime minister downplayed Palestinian civilian casualties during the more than nine months of war between Israeli forces and Hamas militants.

He again vowed to destroy Hamas and bring home the hostages.

Separately, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it had recovered from Gaza the bodies of five Israelis killed on October 7, the day the war began.

The IDF said this was done through a rescue operation from the area of Khan Younis in southern Gaza, but did not clarify how and where these bodies had been preserved for 10 months........

And you have to wonder about all these hostages that have been recovered that Adolf Benji's mob of butchers say were killed way back on Oct.7. I doubt very much that terrorists would drag dead bodies away and it's more likely that these hostages were really killed because of Israel's own actions.

Adolf Benji has now been told.

Kamala Harris Takes Firm Stance After Meeting With Netanyahu.

And I can bet that he didn't like it 1 little bit.

I doubt very much that terrorists would drag dead bodies away and it's more likely that these hostages were really killed because of Israel's own actions.

Hamas itself filmed video evidence of e.g. the dead body of the German Israeli Shani Louk who was killed at the Supernova Music Festival, their mutilated body then transported back and paraded in Gaza City by a bloodthirsty, gun-toting mob, cheered on by the hyped-up (males only) crowds in the streets. Her dead remains were found months later in a tunnel beneath an UNRWA building in Rafah, southern Gaza in northern Gaza --- a building which was funded by the German government; as a sign at its entrance explains.

It is an old "habit" of Palestinian terrorists to kidnap even the bodies of killed Israelis, because they know how much effort the Israeli government will put into getting all kidnapped Israelis back, each single one, alive or their remains. It's the Palestinian terrorist's "bargaining chips" for negotiations. And that is what distinguishes a civilized society from a death cult.

Tensions could explode soon.

A strongman president has threatened Israel over the killing of Palestinian civilians in Gaza — sparking major escalation fears.

Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has threatened Israel over the killing of Palestinian civilians in Gaza. Israel has responded in kind.

“We must be very strong so that Israel can’t do these ridiculous things to Palestine. Just like we entered Karabakh, just like we entered Libya, we might do similar to them,” Mr Erdogan told a meeting of his ruling AK Party on the weekend.

“There is no reason why we cannot do this. We must be strong so that we can take these steps.”

Israel’s foreign minister, Israel Katz, issued his own threat in response a short time later.

“Erdogan follows in the footsteps of Saddam Hussein and threatens to attack Israel,” Mr Katz posted to social media.

“Just let him remember what happened there and how it ended.”......

Well what can 1 say?

Investigation of Israeli Soldiers Over Alleged Sexual Abuse Sparks Protests.

An investigation involving Israeli soldiers being detained for allegations of sexual abuse against a Palestinian detainee sparked protests on Monday.

According to the Associated Press (AP), nine soldiers were scheduled to appear before a military court at the Beit Lid base in central Israel on Tuesday for allegations of sexual abuse against a Palestinian detainee at Sde Teiman, a facility known for its poor conditions where many Gaza prisoners have been held during the ongoing Israel-Hamas war. The military court hearing is expected to rule on whether to extend detention for the nine soldiers allegedly involved in the incident.

However, since the detention of the soldiers, protests broke out from supporters of the soldiers, including members of Israel's parliament and government ministers arguing against the investigation and demanding harsher treatment of prisoners.

In addition, several hundred protesters broke into Sde Teiman and then later into the military base where the soldiers were being held......

Other than that Israel is turning into a zoo nation full of all sorts of animals.

Tensions could explode soon.

Tensions? No.

It is not the "strongman" but the failed weak man who expresses grotesque military threats. Putin only allows his TV propagandists such BS, which preserves him a rest of statesmanlike facade. Erdogan no longer notices that he is following in the best traditions of the former Ottoman Sultans, the "Sick man of Europe". He, whose policies have failed domestically (EU accession, economics, ...) has no choice but to impress his supporters in the "strongman" role. He looks ridiculous with an imaginary turban... This Empire is gone. Irreversible.

It's just what we get for having morons ruling countries.

Sultan Erdogan is no better than Adolf Benji or PooTin, little Kimmy, Pooh Xi and several others.

While Adolf Benji continues to fan fires of war is he really ready for Ayatollah Khamenei's decision?

The assassination of Hamas leader Ismael Haniyeh could bring full-scale war — and devastation to three countries.

With the killing in Iran of Hamas's top political leader Ismael Haniyeh, the possibility that all key players have wanted to avoid — a full-scale war between Israel and Hezbollah — is now closer than ever.

Until now, the United States has felt the backlash to its support of Israel's war in Gaza both internationally and inside America.

Israel has not wanted a full-scale war as it knows very well that Hezbollah is a seriously more formidable fighting machine than Hamas.

In 2006, Israel had a war with Hezbollah. It did not go well. An official Israeli report — the Winograd commission report — later made clear that Israel did not win that war. It brought home to Israel several key factors: firstly, the terrain in southern Lebanon is far tougher to fight a war in than the flat and tiny enclave that is Gaza.......

Go to the peace table Adolf Benji and stop all this crap, and then you can finally face the judges that you've been trying to avoid for so long.

I completely missed this. Thanks.

Go to the peace table Adolf Benji and stop all this crap, and then you can finally face the judges that you've been trying to avoid for so long.

There are two problems with the 'peace table':

1. It requires at least two parties to negotiate
   
2. How long will Hamas comply with any ceasefire?
   

As for (1): whether Benji nor the Hamas leaders are interested in a binding agreement out of different reasons. Israel won't accept to give up the option to continue warfare until all hostages are freed. Hamas is not going to release any more hostages without a binding agreement in which Israel agrees to withdraw all of its troops from Gaza and renounces its right to further fight Hamas. A deadlock.

As for (2): In the history of Palestinian terror only one thing is certain: expect the next, even more deadly, more heinous terror attack on Israeli civilians every day.

And seeing all of the Palestinian and Lebanese terrorist leaders prominently placed in the first row at the inauguration ceremony of Iran's new President Masud Pezeshkian raises this question: How free are they in their decisions (in negotiations with Israel)? Or do these terror dwarfs only execute decisions on behalf of their masters in Tehran. If so, Israel or rather the US should finally stop talking with dwarfs via back channels (like the now killed Haniyeh in Qatar). It's a waste of time. Instead they better start talking in clear language to the Mullahs. Appeasement doesn't work. Tough and well thought deals eventually can (hard diplomacy; economic threats).

This is the moment that various US administrations have been pushing further into the future for two decades now. They made bad deals, such as Obama lifting all sanctions for international inspections of Iran's nuclear facilities without stopping its massive missile armament or limiting its terror export business. Trump re-imposed all sanctions without a credible deal how to lift them again. This way the temperature in the Iranian cauldron rises week after week. Nobody tries to convince the Mullahs to put out the fire? On the contrary, Putin and perhaps Xi have certainly made deals so that the Mullahs will stoke the fires even hotter. Btw. expect news on highly enriched Uranium from Tehran anytime soon. No worries, they will need decades to design the bomb, right? Supposedly, they are incapable to finish it... further appeasement will give us some more time, even years? Time for what?

they will need decades to design the bomb, right?

Haven't they already been given that info, from their neighbours to the east.

Adolf Benji and his Nazi mob have yet again moved the goal posts while they continue to target journalists.

After Hezbollah and Hamas chiefs were killed within hours the Middle East is on the brink with Israel laying out new terms.

A senior Israeli minister has laid out the “only way” now open to preventing an all-out war in the Middle East – and it’s unlikely to be accepted.

A ceasefire, which only days ago US President Joe Biden was cautiously optimistic about, now seems a distant prospect.

The fractious region is on the brink of war following several days of bloody violence......

......Israel has not commented on the Tehran killing while the US said it had no prior knowledge. But Iran has reacted with fury and has said it will retaliate against Israel. It said the US was complicit through its support of Israel.

On Wednesday, Israel’s foreign minister Israel Katz said the “only way to prevent war” was for Hezbollah to withdraw from the area close to the border between the two nations.......

......Dr Martin Kear from the University of Sydney said the killing of Haniyeh was “very significant”.

“It throws the entire ceasefire process, the entire conflict up in the air and has the potential to drag in other players like Iran. I think it’s significant the assassination occurred while Ismail Haniyeh was in Tehran. It would amount to an attack on Iran.”

Hamas would now have no incentive to engage in ceasefire talks “because it’s quite clear Israel is not interested in ending this war”, according to Dr Kear........

......On Wednesday, Arab news channel Al-Jazeera said two of its staff, Ismail al-Ghoul and Rami al-Refee, were killed due to an Israeli air strike in the Shati refugee camp in northern Gaza.

Al-Jazeera said the pair were wearing distinctive “press” labelled shirts and their car was also marked as such.

They were reporting from near the house of the assassinated Hamas political leader.

The pair had just finished a report when they were asked to leave the area by Israeli troops. They were then killed during an air strike.

So far, 165 journalists have now been killed in the conflict.

Maybe someone should drop 1 of those thousand pound U.S. made bombs on Adolf Benji and his fascist mobs' head, it might wake them up.

Israel would cease to exist if there was peace. Benji knows this. He won't allow it.

they will need decades to design the bomb, right?

Haven't they already been given that info, from their neighbours to the east.

I hope that the contrast between the fundamentalist Shiite theocracy in Iran and the Sunni (actually secular) quasi-military dictatorship in Pakistan will remain great enough forever that such know-how will never find its way from Pakistan to Iran. It would be more likely that Putin would sell them at some point, once Russia goes bankrupt.

Pakistan acquired this knowledge through criminal energy, technical skills of its scientist and a great deal of luck [*] to get on par with its arch-enemy India. It is inconceivable that they would pass such state secrets on to their western neighbor only to have three non-friendly nuclear powers as neighbors (with China). On the other hand, Kim got this knowledge from there.

Anyway, the current state of world affairs pushes Iran faster on the path to become a nuclear power. No one will want to pay the tremendous price to stop them.

[*] and lots of rumours US or CIA knew about but let it happen 'cause Pakistan was their vital "partner" and transit corridor to fight Soviets in Afghanistan.

What a load of hogwash, it was a targeted attack against those feeding those that they want dead.

'Serious' IDF failures led to death of World Central Kitchen aid workers in Gaza, Australian review finds.

A review into the death of Australian Zomi Frankcom and six aid workers has found the Israel Defense Forces' strike was a result of "serious failures to follow procedures".

Ms Frankcom was among seven staff at the World Central Kitchen (WCK) killed on April 1 while helping to deliver food and other supplies to northern Gaza.

The federal government ordered a review into Israel's response to the strikes by special adviser Air Chief Marshal Mark Binskin in the days after the attack.

The "unclassified" version of his report was made public on Friday.

It found there was a "significant break down in situational awareness" and the deaths were a result of serious failures to follow IDF procedures........

But you have to wonder what the "Classified" said.

What a load of hogwash, it was a targeted attack against those feeding those that they want dead.

'Serious' IDF failures led to death of World Central Kitchen aid workers in Gaza, Australian review finds.

[...] However, he concluded the IDF strike on the aid workers was "not knowingly or deliberately directed" against the WCK [...]
