“In the Myth of the Cave as told in Plato’s Republic, a prisoner of the cave of illusions escapes and comes to know the true reality of the outside world and the heavens above, only to realize that he must make a return descent to enlighten his fellow humans — at the risk of sorrow and even death.
Socrates insists that the true philosopher and just statesman does not rest content in the bliss of ascended knowledge and harmony, but dares to live, think, teach, and struggle in the world of illusions, here and now.
Eschatological Optimism, the posthumous philosophical testimony of Daria Platonova Dugina, explores and develops this ancient idea amidst the overwhelming kaleidoscope of the cave of the modern world.
Engaging a vast spectrum of philosophical, theological, sociological, and literary perspectives, Dugina shows that the decision to decipher and face the illusions of our “reality” is only the beginning of an intellectual, existential, spiritual, and political journey which diverse thinkers, ancient and modern, have dared to undertake.
At once a philosophical theory, a hermeneutic lens, and a way of life, “Eschatological Optimism” is a watchword, orientation, and mission that inspires one to dare to know, live and die for the higher principles that forever shine through and beyond the cave.
Daria Platonova Dugina (1992-2022) was a Russian philosopher, journalist, political analyst, and artist. Dugina studied philosophy at Moscow State University and Bordeaux Montaigne University, specializing in Neoplatonism, and was an active member of the International Eurasian Movement. Her life was tragically cut short by a car bomb on the night of 20 August 2022. Eschatological Optimism is the first volume of Dugina’s posthumously collected works to appear in English.“

“The foul allegations of rape have been dropped by the Israeli government. The forty beheaded babies has been downscaled to one dead baby, not beheaded, and killed by persons unknown.
Two thirds of Israelis killed on October 7 were military personnel. The killers of the remaining one third are definitively revealed to have been in part the Israeli armed forces themselves.
Those with influence who spread the propaganda to the contrary stand exposed as War Criminals and now much blood stains their character for ever. It is a spot which will not out. #Gaza_War#GazaCeasefire#GazaHolocaust#GazaHospital.”

Ha. While not endorsing that tweet particularly, the point about the uselessness of the “security and intelligence” bods echoes my blog over the years. Not just SIS and MI5, but also the armed forces. What are they for, now? They cannot even stop the cross-Channel migration-invasion, let alone the wider mass immigration influx. The prospect of war with France, Spain, Germany, Denmark has receded into history. So what are the Navy and other forces for? To ferry yet more invaders to our shores?
As for SIS, and MI5, they still seem largely stuck in the era of “burgling the War Office safe”, or that of the key spy or defector (Penkovsky, Lyalin, Gordievsky etc), the existence of which will change everything (but never does).
Irrelevant in a fast-changing world.

A half-truth is still a half-lie. Jewish-lobby mouthpiece Douglas Murray is not completely wrong about the non-British influxes, including the migration-invasion, but —of course— says nothing about the Jew-Zionist influence which has undermined Britain’s way of life for many decades in a number of ways; culturally, politically etc.
It is quite possible to oppose the Gaza slaughter, oppose the evil Israeli invasion of Gaza, and the slaughter of children etc, and yet be firmly on the side of (real) British values, including “race and nation” and/or “race and culture”, and against Jew-Zionist supremacism both in the Middle East and Europe.

“Douglas Murray – upper class, homosexual, no children, highly paid by neocon and Zionist foundations – is cold-bloodedly winding up a “very brutal” civil war in the UK.
He won’t be there. He has no sons to be there. He has total contempt for working class Brits. You’ll not find him holding a gun, planting a bomb or cleaning up brains and guts. That’s your role – peasants!
When the BNP raised the very real problems of Pakistani grooming gangs and anti-white racist violence, he did nothing except sneer & condemn us. But now he is talking up a non-existent ‘threat’ – to a stone monument that was built as a sop because the elite wouldn’t pay to bring our dead home from their obscene Western Front – to wind us up to bring Israel’s war to our streets.
Why? Because his paymasters want us to support genocide in Gaza and go to war against Iran – one of the nations that stood up to and defeated ISIS and Al Qaeda.
There ARE real problems in the Britain that he and the rest of ‘our’ ruling class have created, and the British have plenty to be angry about – as have UK Muslims. But a new flood of refugees and a 30-year war won’t solve anything. So stop trying to start one, Murray, you disgusting, warmongering excuse for a human being!“
[Nick Griffin].
Well said, Griffin, though “upper class” is stretching it a bit! Murray’s parents were neither titled nor wealthy (father a civil servant, mother a schoolteacher), and Murray attended local primary, comprehensive and Roman Catholic schools in the Hammersmith and Ealing areas of London before spending a year at Eton, in the 6th form, on a scholarship.
I think that what we are seeing here is one of the latest forms of “controlled opposition”: pro-Israel, pro-Jewish-lobby, anti-immigration (superficially), and anti any real social nationalism.
Murray is there, as we just saw, in the leather club chairs, hamming up the pseudo-Establishment “cosplay”, while “Tommy Robinson”, co-incidentally (?) just released from Twitter/X jail (along with Katie Hopkins), stirs up the untutored masses against the Palestine protest marches etc.
The aim seems to be to sunder the two parts of what might have become a pro-social-nationalist but anti-Israel, and anti-Jewish-lobby, movement.
Thus the potentially “British nationalist” masses end up controlled —in ideology, or literally— by the Douglas Murrays, the Tommy Robinsons, the Katie Hopkins’s. The huge numbers of white British people who hate what Israel is doing in Gaza are outflanked, and forced into the false choice of being either pro-Israel and pro-Jewish (and superficially pro-Brit, and pro-Union Jack flagwaving), or anti-Palestine marches and also pro-immigration.
Murray retails the old “paradox of liberalism”, i.e. that a liberal society has to be illiberal towards illiberal persons or tendencies in order to preserve its liberal character.
That is frequently seen pushed out by the Jew-Zionist lobby. Indeed, it forms a secondary element in my own rapidly-upcoming trial, in which I shall stand up for free speech and freedom of expression against a Zionist-corrupted police and prosecution set-up.
The result of that paradox, as applied in practice, is that those with whom the System has no problem have almost unlimited free speech (e.g. cheap msm comedians and entertainers, corrupt pro-Israel politicos such as Nigel Farage etc), but those who pose a real, even if only germinal, threat to the System (any real social-national thinkers or activists) are jumped upon and as good as banned.

Street lighting has been around for a long time — thousands of years. And, for most of history, it was provided by flames, whether oil lamps or people simply carrying burning torches.
They are far more energy efficient, powerful, and long-lasting than sodium lamps.
Thus, in recent years, the old sodium street lighting has been slowly but surely replaced with LEDs, most of which are white rather than orange. pic.twitter.com/D350KmzPI4
And so the notion that orange sodium lamps simply "feel" different isn't an illusion — they literally produce a different psychological, physiological, and emotional reaction in us.
Their "aesthetic" is attuned to the lighting of the natural world, and to our biology.
Wildlife also suffers from more intense light at night — it is fundamentally confusing for all creatures to be exposed to daylight after sunset.

Obviously a Jewish-lobby puppet, like her predecessor, Priti Patel. What, though, is her gameplay?
To my way of thinking, she knows that this pseudo-“Conservative Party” government has no chance whatever it does. I think that it had, until quite recently, but not now. The obvious fact that Sunak has decided to hang on until the last possible moment (late 2024) speaks volumes to the voters. It says “I am afraid to submit myself to a general election”.
In strict Constitutional terms, Sunak and, before Sunak, Liz Truss, had no need to hold a general election, but as far as most voters are concerned, that smacks of fear and desperation.
On the above premises, what is Suella Braverman thinking? My view is that she is setting out her stall to be elected as Sunak’s successor. If she says inflammatory things and is sacked, then it says “I was too honest to stay in Sunak’s weak government”, but if she is not sacked, another message says “Sunak is a lame duck, and dare not sack me”.
Either way, Suella Braverman only has 12 months left in government, so she has little to lose.

A complete lunatic, in my opinion. I should add that, until recently, I had never heard of her. She seems to be the absolute personification of the obsessed “family law” practitioner— thankfully, a type only encountered by me personally rather rarely; I did not in general practise “family law”, though I did do a handful of “ancillary support” (financial) matters in the early 1990s, and one (I think only one) large-scale child custody matter, all of which, by Grace of God, ended successfully for me.
Again, my above view is only my opinion as a —wrongfully and unlawfully— disbarred ex-barrister…

As far as I have seen on Twitter, the Israel-supporting Jews in the UK mostly offer weaselling excuses for why the Israeli war machine “has to” attack these children along with the Hamas fighters. Some even applaud the slaughter openly.
From what I have read in the newspapers, Hamas operatives are about 4% of the population of Gaza, whereas under-18 non-combatants are about 50%. Actual children and babies are probably about 25% of the population.
Israel is either completely callous towards the suffering and death meted out to the children of Gaza, or is, in the typically crude Israeli phrase, “mowing the lawn“, i.e. killing as many Gazan children as possible, every few years, so that they do not grow up to fight Israel.

This is exactly the situation. “Entitled” Jew-Zionists in the UK pretending to be “in fear”, and making themselves out to be “victims”, when they are (many of them anyway) cheerleading the murderous assault on the civilians of Gaza and elsewhere.
Jew-Zionists in the UK are, in the contemporary term, merely “cosplaying” being victims. I even saw tweets today about how “scared” some pretend to be because they saw a photo on Twitter/X showing a small and crudely-drawn (or cut) reverse Swastika on an Underground train seat, obviously drawn by some vandal, probably a child or teenager.

I have to admit that that clip amused me a little, but Laurence Fox is really wrongheaded in his support for Israel’s Gaza “holocaust” and for worldwide Jew-Zionism, though I support his view on the statues of our great past Empire.
Politically, Laurence Fox and Reclaim Party are a waste of space, and quite obviously will get nowhere at the General Election of 2024.
As for the Richard Tice/Nigel Farage latest “controlled opposition” party, Reform UK, the same. The only real difference is that Reform UK is better organized and seems to have at least (?) 3%, maybe 5% of the voters willing to back it. It might even get to 10% in some seats, as a protest vote. Still just a waste of space and a waste of time, of course.
Only a real and tightly-run social-national party can change the way things are going in this country.

I notice that someone today (just one reader) looked at a blog post from the earliest days of this blog.

Superficially positive, but I wonder to what extent that poll reflects the fact that the blacks and browns are breeding prolifically in the UK, but the real (white Northern European) British inhabitants of the UK are not even reproducing their numbers.
In other words, the population of 16-24 year-olds is simply less white, less European, than older generations. The proportion of (among others) Muslims in that age group may be (is) far higher. Demographic shift.
The question reminds me of the Brexit Referendum, when the Remain side was terribly proud of the (apparent) fact that “the more educated” voters favoured Remain. In reality, that was a mirage. A far higher proportion of younger people have attended some kind of supposed “Uni”, but the older generations simply had a smaller proportion of people attending universities, usually for financial reasons, and because universities were fewer in number. Many of the new “universities”, are “McUniversities”, conferring “McDegrees”…

All part of the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan: select non-whites to become MPs, TV presenters, actors in TV shows etc. Many of the political ones are actually outright frauds, like that Festus character. Shaun Bailey is another one, and he now sits in the House of Lords as a fake “lord”, “lording it” over British people.
What exactly are the academic and professional qualifications of Festus Akinbusoye? He seems to have wangled his way from being an aide to a tory MP to Police & Crime Commissioner. A case of cronies being lined up to fight ex-tory seats?
Tamworth 36% turnout, Mid-Bed 44%. Tamworth 46% for Lab, Mid-Bed 34%. It means in Tamworth 83.5% DIDN'T vote Labour and in Mid-Bed 85%. People want change but they want real change not archaic monolith so-called mainstream parties. You're an idiot to want a vast Labour majority.
“Festus” (in Mid-Bedfordsire) too; he kept his job (and pay) as Police and Crime Commissioner, just in case he failed to get elected. Those “PCCs” are the biggest wastes of space around (arguably). Most of them seem to be both stupid and corrupt.
As for Andrew Cooper (in Tamworth), marginally better, but struck me, reading about him, as pretty stupid.
Thoughts about the by-elections in Tamworth and Mid-Bedfordshire
Obviously, “seismic” for the Conservative Party. I have blogged previously about the by-elections, but will say a little more know that the results are in.
This is surely the end of the road for the little Indian money-juggler, Sunak, and his Government. So far, he has said nothing, and is still in the Middle East, having been doormatting for Israel and the Jews for the past few days.
Will Sunak now resign? If not, his party will undoubtedly be wiped out next year. If he does step down now, it may give the Con Party a slight chance of at least limiting the damage. That would depend, though, on finding a replacement at least superficially credible.
In my view, neither of the Labour victories yesterday were really votes for Labour as such; they were votes for Labour as the best way of defeating the candidate of the “Conservative” Party.
In Tamworth, the rather poor Con Party candidate still received 40.7% of the vote (Lab 45.8%). In Mid-Bedfordshire, “Festus”, the Con Party candidate, received 31.8% (Lab 34.1%).
Both were fairly close contests, but their importance lies in the fact that both had been considered pretty solid Con Party seats, despite the poor quality of both MPs elected in 2019 and previously.
At present it looks as though the Con Party may be left with about 50 seats after 2024, unless something huge happens in the meantime.
What else? Well, the LibDems performed very badly, especially at Tamworth, where the LD candidate, an Indian barrister, received a vote of only 1.6%.
As far as broadly “nationalist” candidates and parties are concerned, poor in both contests. The barely-nationalist Reform UK, the latest Farage-ist vehicle, scored 5.4% at Tamworth, and 3.7% in Mid-Beds. Underwhelming, looking at the surrounding circumstances.
Reform UK will not get anywhere because it is not social-national. A less globalist Con Party, really. It may even have been set up as a “safety valve” to prevent a social-national party from emerging.
Rump UKIP, and Britain First, both stood at Tamworth. Both lost their deposits.
Conclusion: people generally, even former Con Party voters, want rid of the present Government. The next General Election, sometime in the next 14 months, may be almost existential for the Con Party. 50 MPs, perhaps. That is now a distinct possibility. Unlikely that Con Party will retain more than 100 MPs, even bearing in mind that by-elections are more likely to produce upsets. The turnout in both seats was about half of what it was in 2019.
I detect no real enthusiasm for Labour, though. These two results were both caused by people voting tactically to remove candidates of a party now almost universally despised (and which has been unwilling to face the electorate, despite having selected 2 new PMs, for 4 years).
The “Conservative” Party MPs are saying that it will all be different at the 2024 General Election. Really? Why? Why should it be? I think, on present evidence, that the result will be much the same as yesterday, though with a slight adjustment in the Con Party favour, by reason of higher turnout and because some may have reservations about creating a Labour “elected dictatorship”.

I particularly remember the first time I heard that Bach piece, at least the last movement.
I was in a parachute class, and we were shown a film of experienced display parachutists exiting, but not on static lines, from a plane, the group —unusually— holding each other so that they all formed one long string from the door to the tailplane, then moving along so that they were all strung out behind the plane. Finally, they let go one by one, later meeting in mid-air to form other rings and shapes.
The final movement of the Orchestral Suite no.2 by J.S. Bach was the soundtrack to that film.
“A man was punched multiple times before having part of his ear ripped off in an unprovoked and violent attack by two brothers…He was left with “very unpleasant injuries” and a permanent scar…
…the victim had been walking home from a pub on Portland when a group of men began to follow him and the woman he was with.
One of the men shouted at the woman, but the pair ignored the group and kept walking.
Prosecuting, Roderick Blain, said that Anders Naylor, of Norfolk Road in Weymouth, was among the group.
He went up to the victim, and “punched him in the face”, Mr Blain said.
The victim said he “did not want to fight” and kept walking.
Further up the road Anders punched him a further two times to the head, and another man from the group “struck him on the head from behind”
Repeating he “did not want to fight”, the victim continued walking and passed a Co-op store.
There, Anders assaulted him again by “grabbing him and putting him up to a car” and punching him to the head and chest.
The victim then “took Anders to the ground” to prevent any further attack, the court was told.
However, while on the ground, Anders’ brother Ayrton began grabbing at the victim’s ear, tearing off part of the lobe and cartilage…
While the piece of his ear was recovered, it was unable to be re-attached, so hospital staff cleaned up the ear as much as they could with stitches.
The victim had never met the men before and was “disgusted” by what they had done.
The brothers were sentenced at Bournemouth Crown Court having pleaded guilty to assault in relation to the incident, which occurred on Friday, August 13, 2021.
Both brothers were said to be “highly intoxicated” at the time of the assault.
Judge Keith Cutler CBE described it as a “violent attack” which left a man with “unpleasant injuries”.
He said: “It’s now been over two years since the incident.
“There must have been a lot of swearing, shouting and blood. And the next morning, hopefully a lot of regret.”
Anders was given a 12 month jail sentence suspended for two years and ordered to carry out 150 hours of unpaid work.
Ayrton was given a 12 months community order and ordered to carry out 100 hours of unpaid work.“
[Bournemouth Echo].
Britain today. A group of drunken thugs shout insults at a woman in the street after dark, then attack the lone man —someone unknown to them— accompanying her, and then they continue the unprovoked attack by tearing off part of the victim’s ear. Sentence? Term of imprisonment, but suspended, albeit with some “serf labour” to be completed.
I am no “hanger and flogger”, far from it, but this is just not good enough. The victim(s) left without justice, in my view, and the message sent out to the public is very weak.

“1. President Joe Biden’s statement regarding the bombing of the hospital in Gaza was from a misfired Palestinian rocket is totally ridiculous and absurd.
2. Why should there be any doubt that the blast of the Al Ahli Arab hospital is from an Israeli air strike as the murderous regime had been attempting to wipe Palestinians and Gaza out of existence since last week.
3. In fact, Israel had been after the Palestinians all the time, if not wipe out the Palestinians altogether, for the past 70 years and suddenly now, after launching air strikes day and night, Palestinians blames for the blast on the hospital.
4. Biden’s narrative is based on feedbacks from Nethanyahu and Pentagon.
5. Obviously Nethanyahu lies about everything. And if Biden wants to use Pentagon to give credence to his narrative, we have not forgotten how Pentagon and other American institutions lied about the existence of weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) in Iraq. 6.
A more recent lie is about Biden claiming to have seen pictures of Hamas beheading babies.
7. Indeed, the White House had withdrawn the statement, admitting that there was no proof of such a deed. The question is how Biden could blatantly lie in the first place and with a straight face.
8. The crux of the matter is that all these atrocities committed by Israel on the Palestinians stems from the American support for Tel Aviv.
9. If the American Government withdraws its support for Israel and stop all military aids to the regime, Israel would not have carried out the genocide and mass murders of Palestinians with impunity.
10. The United States government needs to come clean and tell the truth. Israel and its IDF are the terrorists. The United States is blatantly supporting terrorists. So what is the United States?

The little Indian money-juggler neither looks nor sounds, nor thinks, like a prime minister. Just another puppet of Israel and the UK Jewish lobby.
If the Conservative Party loses both of today’s by-elections, he will —must— surely step down as Con Party leader. I think it would have to be both, though, to trigger any resignation; only one, and he will be able to stagger on.
Musing about Sunak, one wonders what would be there without the enormous amounts of money he has (mainly via his ultra-wealthy wife). What would there be left? A diminutive Indian more like a “chai wallah” than a prime minister.
Only 3-4 years ago, Sunak was seen as some kind of great non-white hope for the country, as he doled out money for millions of people to stay at home on full pay or three-quarter pay, scared of a virus no more dangerous than influenza. Now? Totally washed-up.

Ludicrous, tokenist, monkey-on-a-stick and puppet for the Israel lobby.
See Lammy trying to answer a few not very difficult quiz questions:
If or when Labour forms the next UK government in 2024, that will be “our” Foreign Secretary…At least James Cleverly, useless and stupid as he is, is nonetheless somehow wise enough not to pretend that he knows anything or is anything much beyond useless. A lesson Lammy has never learned.
By comparison, the UK overall has an average population density of about 280 persons per square kilometre, the highest density being in London (about 5,500 per square kilometre).
Imagine about a quarter of the population of London (c.2M) being ordered, effectively on pain of death, and by an alien force, to move from one end of London to the opposite end. Hospitals full of immobile patients; infirm or sick people without road or other transport; babies and small children; companion animals too.
That is what the Jews of Israel, and egged on by most Jews outside Israel as well, are visiting upon the mostly helpless population of Gaza.
Not just Jewish bullies. Inhuman. Their behaviour is inhuman.
In the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, the Provisional IRA conducted a terror campaign in the UK from bases in Ireland, some of which were in the Republic. Some “mainstream” Irish TDs (MPs) of the post-1949 era, and even one or two Irish taoiseachs (Prime Ministers), such as Charles Haughey and Sean Lemass, were pro-IRA to a greater or lesser extent. The UK did not bomb Dublin or Dundalk, still less invade the Republic.

“Baroness” Warsi is and always was a waste of space, but at least she is not a complete puppet of the Israel/Jewish lobby in the UK. Sunak is. Starmer is.
That ridiculous creature Suella Braverman also is completely in the Zionist pocket. Married to a Jew, she now seems to be moving from a position (some time ago) of support for “free speech” to, now, one of saying that anyone criticizing Israel or Jewish behaviour, or supporting the people suffering in Gaza, will face prosecution.
I know that she was never much respected when she worked as an ordinary barrister, but this is moving to a police-state position on freedom of expression.
In fact, how long will it be before anyone in politics, law, the mass media, will have to pledge allegiance or fealty to the Jews and Israel, or face complete “cancellation” professionally? It has already gone some way towards that in the UK, USA, Australia, even France and Germany.
A —superficially— “velvet glove” type of finance-capitalist “Stalinism”, if you like.
When Suella Braverman made her speech about migration-invasion recently, I found some aspects of it with which I could agree, despite (of course) believing that persons only notionally British should not be Cabinet ministers, or indeed prime ministers.
However, any UK politician who curries favour with the Jewish lobby/Israel lobby is not one who deserves any respect at all.
Incidentally, she has now thrown the “Community Security Trust” or “CST” (the Jew-Zionist strongarm and snoop organization) another £3M of taxpayers’ money (they were given £14M just recently).
I read about that the same day as I found out that a hospice known to me, a wonderful peaceful place which I visited several times about 6 years ago, may have to close because it faces a financial shortfall of “only” £100,000. About 11% of its income comes from government funds.
£3M given to an organization controlled by ultra-wealthy Jews at a time when hospices (etc) are closing because Suella Braverman’s government will not supply more money (a small fraction of the monies given to the “CST”).
The priorities of UK politicians are rotten to the core.

Owen Jones
I see that Owen Jones has contrived to get more public attention:
What Jones fails to point out is that that British-imposed law probably had a penalty for breach of a small fine or a short prison sentence. I admit that I do not know exactly how much or how long. The Arab/Islamist penalty (I presume, and have seen news to that effect previously) is something like getting thrown off a building, or getting a bullet in the head.
When I was practising at the Bar in London during 1993-1996, I used to do quite a bit of Judicial Review work at the High Court. Most, though not all, was either immigration or housing-related. One such case was a Pakistani fighting deportation to Pakistan on the ground that he was a member of an Islamic sect considered heretical by the other Muslims.
I think, subject to correction, that there are about 70 different sects in Islam.
The said “heresy” was punishable (probably still is) by a maximum penalty of death. The original law prohibiting such belief and/or membership had been passed by the British rulers under the Raj, in the 19th Century.
The devil is in the detail. The original British law provided for a small fine by way of punishment. After Independence and Partition (1947), the law itself was kept exactly as it had been when first passed, but the penalties increased gradually from that original small fine to larger fines, terms of imprisonment, and finally (I think in about 1980 or so) to the death penalty.
The outcome of that case at the High Court in ~1994 is not relevant to my point but, as far as I can recall, the case was listed before a judge who said that he had made a study of the particular sect in question (God knows why). I suppose that he was well-placed to judge the matter fairly. I think that he remitted the case to be reviewed further by the Home Office in the end.

The Israeli attack on a hospital in Gaza is a "heinous crime" and appealed to the international community to abandon double standards, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Saudi Arabia announced. Qatar, Turkey, Egypt, Syria and Jordan also condemned the airstrike on the hospital.

“The war has threatened to draw in surrounding territories after shells were fired from Syria and Lebanon into Israel and Israel shelled the only land exit from Gaza into Egypt – shortly after an Israeli military spokesperson told civilians to flee through it.
Rescue officials in Gaza said ‘large numbers’ of people were still trapped under the remnants of leveled buildings, with rescue equipment and ambulances unable to reach the area.
In a new tactic, Israel is warning civilians to evacuate neighborhood after neighborhood, and then inflicting devastation, in what could be a prelude to a ground offensive.
Israeli Prime Minister Mr Netanyahu has warned Israel’s military campaign following Saturday’s onslaught is only the start of a sustained war to destroy Hamas and ‘change the Middle East’.
Entire districts in Gaza were ‘razed‘ in airstrikes today as Israel continues its response to an ongoing incursion launched by Hamas on Saturday.
Israel announced yesterday it would put the region under ‘complete siege’, making the Rafah crossing into Egypt the sole route out of the Gaza Strip by land.“
[Daily Mail]
[Israeli attack on Gaza]
If there were an invasion from the North (Lebanese/Syrian territory), that would place the Israeli army under great strain; even more so were Jordan to attack Jerusalem from the East. Neither is likely, though. So far, not even the West Bank Arabs have joined in, not in any substantial way.
For me, as observer, it seems that the importance of these events has been psychological and not military, as such.
The repressed Palestinian Arabs must now realize what may be possible, and the Israeli Jews must also realize what may one day happen (maybe not so far down the line). The Arabs must be feeling emboldened (despite the effectively genocidal Israeli siege and pounding of Gaza), but the Israeli Jews must be feeling fear that all their military might may, one day soon, not be enough to save them. Many must be keeping their second or third passports to hand, in case they decide to flee.
Obviously, from a strict military point of view, the Israeli Army, with its 2,000 or more tanks, and the Israeli Air Force, with hundreds of strike planes, fighters, attack helicopters, and now also drones, cannot be defeated by the poorly-equipped militia of the Palestinian factions. The Israeli Goliath looms over the Palestinian David.
That may, though, in the end, not be the whole picture.

Of course, I was one of the first to realize what a useless lump of nothing “Boris” Johnson was/is. About 20 years ago. Everyone else, pretty much, was willing to swallow the line that “Boris” was brilliant, principled, strong, interesting, a Poundland Churchill for our times. The Jews liked him because he is part-Jew, the Muslims liked that he is part-Levantine, the petit bourgeois Daily Mail readers liked the fact that he had been to Eton and Oxford.
In fact, Johnson was only ever a “cosplay”, as people now say; an am-dram “Churchill”, or a matrioshka with nothing inside. A mainly faked “British upper class” persona, a persona with which the part-Jew, part-Levantine chancer was able to fool the plebs.
Of course, put to the test in political office, it all fell to pieces. He proved himself again and again a liar, unprincipled (and not even in an intelligent way), not any kind of “intellectual”, useless, incapable of either ideology or religion, disloyal, and without a real idea in his muddled head.

America must attack Iran if Hezbollah attacks Israel – 19FortyFive
According to geopolitical analyst Brandon Weichert, Israel will not stand up to Hamas and Hezbollah, so the United States will join the war in the Middle East to “protect its interests in the region.”
“Gaza has constant power cuts, dismal public services, dirty water and a crushing lack of jobs.
Most of its energy comes from Israel – but even the small contributions from Gaza’s single power plant, like all private generators, rely on imported diesel.
Much of the struggling health services depend on the United Nations and charities. Patients in need of more serious treatment require permission from Palestinian and Israeli officials to travel outside the Strip, which is ringed with 20ft fences, motion sensors, radar and cameras.
But the most critical shortage here is of hope. This is one of the world’s most densely populated places and has one of the youngest populations – yet more than two-thirds of young adults are unemployed, while eight in ten residents rely on external aid.
Although tens of thousands of Palestinians used to leave Gaza to work in Israel, the border was sealed after the Hamas takeover, so an entire generation has grown up never able to leave the Strip and never having met an Israeli.
This all makes it fertile ground for Hamas to find ‘martyrs’ for its twisted cause, especially amid the trauma of living under frequent attack and bombardment.
It is little wonder that past polls have found half of Gazans want to leave this blighted place – and no surprise that it was the source of the latest explosion of hatred to stain this turbulent region.“
[Daily Mail].
A 2018 account from Conservative Party-supporting journalist Ian Birrell (he wrote some speeches for David Cameron-Levita c.2012), but interesting, and worth reading the full version.
Gaza has been called “an open prison” but it is is probably more accurate to call it a large-scale guarded ghetto. In fact, to me it resembles from a distance— I have never been there, nor (obviously) Israel— the Warsaw Ghetto of the early 1940s: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warsaw_Ghetto.
That Wikipedia account has been subject to the (((usual))) bias, but gives the overall background.
The state of the police and the Crown Prosecution Service! Read that Daily Mail report.
All commonsense seems to have fled from both police and CPS. Real crime goes unpunished or not even investigated, while the police wet themselves over trivial incidents and/or people posting “wrong” thoughts online.
Of course, casualties in Gaza will be given less prominence than those in Israel, because the Western mass media is —mostly— controlled, or at least heavily influenced, by Jew-Zionists.

If you said half or a tenth as much about Jews, the msm “claque” would be screaming and (in the UK) the “poundland KGB” police would probably be making a nuisance of themselves…
Israel possesses the most accurate and precise technology in the world, and every Palestinian civilian and non-combatant killed is an intentional targeted kill.
Israel has also taken every Palestinian prisoner of war to an unknown location hours ago.

Israel told Palestinians to leave Gaza, then now pursued to bomb the only exit from Gaza (Rafah crossing), then bombed the telecommunications towers, and is still going with the massacres.

In 2014, Israelis camped out, clapping and cheering as bombs wiped out entire Palestinian families and as the Israeli military slaughter thousands of innocent Palestinians.
#SkyNews Why people have stopped watching Sky News. Beth Rigby & Kay Burley. If them two don’t stop you watching it nothing will. Great years ago horrendous now in 2023. pic.twitter.com/E5sO4LAICI
I caught a few minutes of Kay Burley on Sky News this morning. Complete pro-Israel bias. Not surprising. After all, the job pays well, and enough to dine at the Chiltern Firehouse, with bottles of wine at £400 apiece.
To be fair to Kay Burley, she did apparently put ludicrous “Foreign Secretary” James Cleverly on the spot, also today:
Kay: What support does the British Govt offer to the people of Gaza?
Foreign Sec @JamesCleverly : We are trying to minimise the risk of escalation.
Having someone like Cleverly as Foreign Secretary is just embarrassing.

The events in Israel/Palestine have resulted in an outpouring of System virtue-signalling.
Sunak, Starmer, and many others all falling over each other to pledge allegiance to Israel. Political con-man, and “controlled opposition” kingpin Nigel Farage, too. In a way, it is a good thing that those who are under that control have identified themselves.
On a different note, I wonder whether the “answer” to the otherwise intractable Gaza problem might be to establish a programme whereby Gazans can relocate to new towns across the Middle East, with co-operation of governments within the region. Instead of one very crowded city of 2 million inhabitants, 19-20 towns, each with 100,000 inhabitants. Gaza itself to be reduced to 100,000, or perhaps to be returned to sparsely-populated farmland.
The above “solution” might be acceptable both to the Gazans themselves (giving them greater freedom and better living conditions) and to the Israeli government (reducing the “security threat” to near-zero), if it could be organized.

Kirsty Wark is utterly depraved. A heartless monster. This is absolutely disgusting. https://t.co/76hhRFKQnk
This poor man has been doing the rounds for days now with the same inane questions being thrown at him in the hope of a gotcha moment. Kirsty Wark is a respected journalist but it’s clear she was under instruction to toe one line only pro Israel or else
A biased (in its tone) piece by a Jewish scribbler; nonetheless worth reading.
“An emboldened Iran will extend the export of its missile and drone technology, which is already playing an important role for Russia in its campaign against Ukraine.
Indeed Moscow, though it has had good relations with Israel, has much to gain from a new Middle Eastern conflict.
The U.S. is likely to feel pressure to strengthen Israel’s defences against Hamas rockets with weapons like the highly effective Patriot surface-to-air anti-missile system.
America does not have a big stockpile of these Patriots, and Israel will receive priority, meaning there will be far fewer for President Zelensky’s government.“
168 buildings, including 1,009 residential units, were completely destroyed, while 12,600 were partially damaged, according to the Palestinian Authority.
“Scale of destruction in the Gaza Strip 168 buildings, including 1,009 residential units, were completely destroyed, while 12,600 were partially damaged, according to the Palestinian Authority. It is also reported that 10 health facilities, 48 schools, 23 government buildings and 12 ambulances were affected.”

“Ukraine is forgotten: the largest American media after the start of the war in Israel closed their “online” coverage of events in Ukraine All major American media have curtailed their coverage of events in Ukraine in live short news mode. CNN, which reported “online” in Ukraine almost non-stop, stopped updating it on October 6. Since then, the link to the Ukrainian “online” has disappeared from the European version of the publication’s main page and has not appeared on it again. Almost simultaneously, The New York Times stopped online coverage of Ukraine. Its main page, like CNN’s, now covers events in Israel online.“
Ha.
Late thought
The stories coming out of Gaza and Southern Israel are more than merely unpleasant; terrible. As far as the Palestinian combatants are concerned, if they are sometimes monstrous, it is because they have been made monstrous, and made so mainly by the behaviour of the Israeli Jews.
