Polling shows global loss of support for Israel.

TIME (January 2024): New Polling Shows How Much Global Support Israel Has Lost

[...] support for Israel around the world has dropped significantly since the war in Gaza began.
[.]
The U.S. remains the only rich country that still had net positive views of Israel. [Gee, I wonder why? - DD]
[.]
Washington's support for Israel carries a cost in global public opinion, however, particularly in Arab countries, the surveys show. In Egypt, the U.S. went from having a positive favorability of 41.1 to a negative favorability of -14.9 from September to December. In Saudi Arabia, the U.S. saw a similar trend, dropping from a positive favorability of 12.2 to -10.5 over the same time period.

It's not in America's best interest to blindly support Israel. Why does it continue? That's easy; Follow the Money.

Netanyahu shuts down Al Jazeera.

RT: Israeli government shuts down broadcaster Al Jazeera.

The cabinet of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has unanimously voted to halt the operations in Israel of Qatar-based broadcaster Al Jazeera, the government has said in a statement.

Israel has long accused Al Jazeera, which remains one of the few international news channels to have correspondents on the ground in Gaza, of showing bias against it and of cooperating with Hamas militants.

"...showing bias." Because reporting the Israeli-inflicted deaths on Palestinian civilians, children, the humanitarian aid of the (as Israel called it) "the mistaken killing" of World Central Kitchen volunteers and the deaths of Israelis by the IDF is, "showing bias." Another case of, "SHUTITDOWN! We can't allow truth to subvert the propaganda that Israel is the VICTIM!"

Truth and facts from reporters in Gaza might not be too flattering describing the ruthless tactics used by Netanyahu, his cult and the Israeli Military in testimony at the International Criminal Court if war crimes and genocide charges are brought against Satanyahu and his cabinet. 

Recall early on in the war Israel denying they were using White Phosphorous in Gaza and Lebanon only to be confirmed they were using it? Uh-huh. 

Amenesty.Org: Israel's unlawful use of white phosphorous

Over 100 journalists from around the world - different backgrounds, different nationalities and including Israeli reporters - have been killed by the atrocities Israel is inflicting on Palestinian CIVILIANS AND CHILDREN. No outcry, no outrage at all. "Ho-Hum, Collateral damage, these things happen...", unless it  happens and done by the U.S. Military in any conflict (Iraq or Afghanistan). Then the Left SCREAMS; "BUSH, CHENY CHENEY! WAR CRIMINALS!"

But U.S. politicians and others made sure to histrionically kvetch and moan on a daily basis with manufactured outrage and anguish on the death of Jamal Khashoggi, who wasn't much of a reporter or journalist, simply an occasional OP/ED writer. 

Satanyahu won't allow facts and truth to override the narrative.

The Express Tribune: How and why Israel helped create Hamas?

Mint News: Shocking video of Israelis urinating on dead Palestinians surfaces on internet.

Times of Israel: For years, Netanyahu propped up Hamas. Now it’s blown up in our faces.

Euro News (May 5, 2024): Israelis rally to demand Gaza ceasefire and PM Netanyahu's resignation.

"We hope the world hears us and knows that the people of Israel are not the government of Israel," said one protester.

[Tens of thousands took to the streets in Tel Aviv] [... and] protested on Saturday night, calling for a ceasefire and the resignation of hardline Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Someone turned on the earthquake making machine.

Market Watch: Strong earthquake rattles Taiwan, damaging buildings and causing small tsunami.

TAIPEI, Taiwan — A powerful earthquake rocked Taiwan during the morning rush Wednesday, damaging buildings and creating a tsunami that washed ashore on southern Japanese islands.

A five-story building in lightly populated Hualien appeared heavily damaged, collapsing its first floor and leaving the rest leaning at a 45-degree angle.
[.]
Taiwan’s earthquake monitoring agency gave the magnitude as 7.2 while the U.S. Geological Survey put it at 7.4. It struck at 7:58 a.m. about 18 kilometers south-southwest of Hualien and was about 21 miles deep.

The meme writes itself, and I'm not motivated to create it.

Israel/Netanyahu: "Too much attention on us the past few days!"

Screaming Judge: "Quick! Fire up the earthquake machine. This time, uh, aim for Taiwan!"

Three stories from the Daily Mail. Ice cream truck near Auschwitz provokes fury, Cocaine dealer freed by Obama shoots woman leaving her brain dead, $2B wasted by U.S. on Coof vaccines.

Daily Mail: Ice cream van sets up... outside AUSCHWITZ: Fury over 'disrespectful'.

An ice cream van has sparked outrage after setting up shop outside the former Nazi death camp Auschwitz.

The van which also sells waffles has been condemned as 'tasteless and 'disrespectful' by the Auschwitz Museum after it appeared outside the camp's main entrance known as the 'Death Gate'.
[.]
However, it is located outside the protection zone of the Monument to the Holocaust, so unfortunately we have no influence on it.

Some selected comments from the DM story:




It's fucking ice cream, not Waffle Cones in the likeness of Hitler and the van is set-up outside the protection zone

We'll probably learn that the ice cream van is owned by a Jew and all the kvetching will be for naught, just as it was when Jews had a fit over the auction of Hitler's wristwatch only to be silent when it was revealed that it was a wealthy Jew that bought it for over $1M.

Daily Mail: Cocaine dealer whose life sentence was commuted by Obama in 2015 is charged with shooting female passenger during road rage incident and leaving her BRAIN-DEAD.

A convicted cocaine dealer, who was given a second chance when his life sentence was commuted by former President Obama in 2015 is back in prison on attempted murder charges after he shot a woman, leaving her brain-dead, cops say. 

Alton Mills, 54, last made the news when Obama cut short his life sentence in 2015 after serving 22 years in jail for what were small time drugs offenses.

He received an sentence after being arrested in 1993 on federal conspiracy charges as part of a crack cocaine conspiracy.

His two previous convictions of possession of less than five grams of crack cocaine led to prosecutors filing a sentence enhancement, which saw him sentenced to life in prison without parole.

But he is now looking at another possible life sentence following an expressway shooting early on Sunday morning in the suburbs of Chicago. The victim, who has not been identified, is not expected to survive.

No surprise Total POS Dick Durbin (D-IL) had his fingers in this; the man who called U.S. Soldiers, "Nazis," and compared them to the Gulag and Pol Pot.

Daily Mail: More than $2 billion of US taxpayer cash has been wasted on unused Covid vaccines.

More than $2 billion has been wasted on unused Covid vaccines throughout the pandemic, data suggests.

More than 300million doses of four brands of vaccine - Pfizer, Moderna, Johnson and Johnson and Novavax - have been discarded or donated to other countries.

There are multiple reasons for the wastage, including vaccine hesitancy and overspending by the US Government.

Yet despite the figures and dwindling demand, the World Health Organization has called for new Covid shots to be developed for this winter that target mutated variants.

Biden to quadruple U.S. troop presence in Taiwan.

Market Watch: Biden administration plans to quadruple U.S. troop presence in Taiwan.

WASHINGTON—The U.S. is markedly increasing the number of troops deployed to Taiwan, more than quadrupling the current number to bolster a training program for the island’s military amid a rising threat from China.

The U.S. plans to deploy between 100 and 200 troops to the island in the coming months, up from roughly 30 there a year ago, according to U.S. officials. The larger force will expand a training program the Pentagon has taken pains not to publicize as the U.S. works to provide Taipei with the capabilities it needs to defend itself without provoking Beijing.

The number of American troops, which has included special-operations forces and U.S. Marines, has fluctuated by a handful during the past few years, according to Defense Department data. The planned increase would be the largest deployment of forces in decades by the U.S. on Taiwan, as the two draw closer to counter China’s growing military power.

How America Took Out The Nord Stream Pipeline.

Seymour Hersh; Substack: The New York Times called it a “mystery,” but the United States executed a covert sea operation that was kept secret — until now.

Biden’s decision to sabotage the pipelines came after more than nine months of highly secret back and forth debate inside Washington’s national security community about how to best achieve that goal.

But who is really making these decisions?

31 Abrams Main Battle Tanks for Ukraine, says Resident Diaper.

Breitbart: President Joe Biden announced Wednesday afternoon he has approved sending 31 Abrams M1 main battle tanks to Ukraine, in an escalation of U.S. support for the war as it nears the one-year mark.


 
Poland says no evidence to suggest missile was launched by Russia – but Kyiv insists ‘it was not our rocket’.

Never in my life have I seen Democrats displaying such turgid tumescence for a war that the U.S. has no business involving itself in. Of course, this is an important conflict for all the personal grift, enrichment and money-laundering for the families of Biden, Pelosi, Romney and Kerry. AND Mitch McWorthless.

South Sudan President Salva Kiir urinates in pants during ceremony.

I forgot about this, it was in my Draft folder.

RT: Journalists detained over embarrassing leak for president.

South Sudan’s Salva Kiir apparently lost control of his bladder during a road-commissioning event in December.

Six journalists have been detained in South Sudan over the circulation of a video purportedly showing President Salva Kiir urinating in his pants, the Committee to Protect Journalists has stated. The video, which went viral online, triggered debate about the 71-year-old leader’s health.

Filmed at the commissioning of a road project last month, the video shows Kiir standing for the national anthem with the aid of a cane, as a dark stain spreads down the inside of his trouser leg. As Kiir looks down and notices the puddle forming around his feet, the camera pans away.

HEY, President Mayardit, don't worry about it. 

We in the U.S. have a (p)Resident who pees and poops himself daily, maybe hourly, who dooks on the floor of the Vatican and shakes hands with ghosts. You got no worries.

$2.5 Billion U.S. DoD drawdown for Ukraine to, "meet Ukraine’s critical security and defense needs."

U.S. Department of Defense: Biden Administration Announces Additional Security Assistance for Ukraine.

Today, the Department of Defense (DoD) announces the authorization of a Presidential Drawdown of security assistance to meet Ukraine’s critical security and defense needs. This authorization, which is valued at up to $2.5 billion, is the Biden Administration’s thirtieth drawdown of equipment from DoD inventories for Ukraine since August 2021. It contains hundreds of armored vehicles, critical support for Ukraine’s air defense, and other important capabilities including: ...

...A bunch o' $tuff. Hit the link.

Brazilian football legend Pelé transferred to end-of-life care.

RT: Brazilian football legend Pele transferred to end-of-life care.

Former Brazilian football star Pele has been moved to end-of-life care due to chemotherapy treatment no longer having the expected results to treat him for colon cancer, according to a report.

The Folha de S. Paulo newspaper claims that chemotherapy treatment has now been suspended for the 82-year-old, who is widely viewed as the greatest footballer of all time.

Pele was admitted to hospital this week to re-evaluate his cancer treatment and was later diagnosed with a respiratory infection as confirmed by medical reports.

Britannica: Pelé.

Pelé, byname of Edson Arantes do Nascimento, (born October 23, 1940, Três Corações, Brazil), Brazilian football (soccer) player, in his time probably the most famous and possibly the best-paid athlete in the world.
[.]
Pelé made his international debut in 1957 at age 16 and the following year played his first game in the World Cup finals in Sweden. The Brazilian manager was initially hesitant to play his young star.



By all accounts from what I've read about him over the years, a truly genuine guy, no pretenses, God-fearing Christian who helped others without fanfare or expecting accolades.

How good was he? He IS The King of Soccer. 

We will not see the likes of him again:

 UPDATE

PA Media (via Yahoo): Pele says he is ‘strong with a lot of hope’ amid health concerns.

Pele said he is “strong” and following his regular treatment in a social media post responding to concerning reports about his health.

Brazilian news outlet Folha claimed earlier on Saturday that the former striker had been moved to palliative care and that his chemotherapy to treat colon cancer had been suspended.

An update from the doctors treating Pele at the Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein in Sao Paulo on Saturday evening presented a more positive picture, and a message was then posted on his Instagram page.

My friends, I want to keep everyone calm and positive,” it read. “I’m strong, with a lot of hope and I follow my treatment as usual. I want to thank the entire medical and nursing team for all the care I have received.

I have a lot of faith in God and every message of love I receive from you all over the world keeps me full of energy. And watch Brazil in the World Cup too! Thank you so much for everything.”

Pele has been in hospital since Tuesday, and his doctors said in a statement that he was stable and responding well to treatment.

We're with you, Pelé! 👍 🙏

"And watch Brazil in the World Cup too!" 🤣 What a great guy!

Doomsday? We'll find out tomorrow, or maybe Sunday. Or, Monday?

..@Xx17965797N

What the f**k are they planning on 24 september 2022‼

 

Perhaps nothing is planned for September 24th. Perhaps if we could listen to the remainder of his speech it would be obvious that he is referring to something completely trivial. The reason why this caught my attention is because I do believe that September 25th and September 26th will be very significant.

This year, Elul 29 begins at sundown on September 24th and it runs until sundown September 25th. As I detailed in a previous article, we witnessed the worst stock market crash in U.S. history up to that time on Elul 29 in 2001. That record stood until it was broken precisely 7 years later on Elul 29 in 2008.

Elul 29 fell on a Sunday in 2015, and the stock market is closed on Sundays.  So no record was going to be broken then. However, we did see a tremendous amount of financial shaking in August and September of that year.

In 2022, Elul 29 once again falls on a Sunday.  So there will be no stock market crash on that day either. But I will be watching very closely because Rosh Hashanah begins at sundown on Sunday, September 25th.


Guess we'll find out in 24-72 hours. Either something or nothing.

Report claim that the 44-year-old was left with a “broken nose, head trauma and damage to his ear” after the fall, although doctors assessing his injuries decided against admitting him for surgery. The guy was later taken into custody and charged with assault of a police officer. He got 2-year suspended jail sentence. He also had to pay 7,000 euros in moral damages to the officer.

Murderer could be hanged on live TV. Well, viewership of the syndicated reruns of "Friends" would drop dramatically during the timeslot.

RT: Murderer could be hanged on live TV.

An Egyptian court says broadcasting the execution could serve as a deterrent for other would-be criminals.

A court in Egypt has called for the live TV hanging of a convicted murderer, arguing that it could help deter other would-be killers, according to letters to parliament quoted by local media on Sunday.

During a highly-publicized two-day trial earlier this month, 21-year-old Mohamed Adel was convicted for killing fellow student Nayera Ashraf outside Mansoura University in northern Egypt in late June. It was reported that Adel stalked the girl for some time, and when she refused to marry him, he devised a gruesome plot to kill her.

According to video footage of the incident, which went viral on social media and sparked outrage across the country, Adel repeatedly stabbed Ashraf as she got off a bus near the university, jumped on her, and slit her throat in front of a number of horrified onlookers.

Adel pleaded guilty to the murder and was sentenced to death on July 6. However, due to the heinous nature of the murder, the court now wants to make an example out of Adel, and has asked the government to allow a live national TV broadcast of the execution.

No doubt the execution would be sponsored by a detergent manufacturer, "when you really need to get those tough stains out!" Would there be play-by-play analysis from The Team At Egyptian News Television?
