“Israel has denied it was responsible for the blast at a hospital in Gaza that the Hamas claims killed at least 500 people and has more trapped under rubble

Video from the hospital showed fire engulfing the building and the hospital’s grounds strewn with bodies, many of them young children. Hundreds of people were reportedly seeking shelter at the hospital at the time of the blast, which Hamas has called a ‘horrific massacre’ and a ‘crime of genocide‘.”

More Israeli/Jewish lies.

More about the Israeli attack on a hospital. Worth reading not least because Jew-Zionists in the UK, USA etc are still claiming that the Palestinian side was responsible via a “failed rocket” of some sort.

Name. Shame. Punish.

…because the “American mainstream media” is almost all owned and/or controlled and/or heavily influenced by Jews and/or Jewish interests.

Typical Jewish/Israeli hypocrisy. “It’s heartbreaking that we are forced to destroy hospitals full of suffering people“…

No accident. Deliberate targeting of a hospital. A war crime by any standard.

“The simulacrum of the human“…

Israel itself was built on lies:

1. Most Israelis are not descended from ancient “Israelites” but from Khazars:
2. Much of the WW2 “holocaust” narrative, used to give legitimacy to the migration-invasion of Palestine by Jews in the mid/late 1940s, is not true, notably the “gas chambers” fable;
3. The migration-invasion of Palestine by Jews in the mid/late 1940s was neither necessary nor justified. Jews massacred large numbers of Palestinian Arabs, and buried the bodies in mass graves, afterwards stealing the land, houses, apartments etc of the murdered victims.

The “holocaust” narrative is still, 80 years on, being used as cover for the continuing Israeli/Jewish military and other crimes.

Regev— an Israeli/Jew liar. Never believe anything “they” say.

Speaking of which:

Jew-Zionist loony and troublemaker pretends to fear “a worldwide pogrom“. I suppose that I should not comment.

Same loony seems to think that the inhuman destruction of the hospital in Gaza should not be noted or criticized because it is a so-called “blood libel” (the mediaeval belief that some Jews killed and/or ate European children).

In any case, even if we leave aside the hospital attack and the 500+ killed there, look at what the Israeli Jews are doing generally in Gaza. Massive destruction. Massive attacks on areas full of civilians, about half of which are children, and a quarter of which are young children under 11 or 12 years of age. Also, the cutting off of water supplies, food supplies, gas, electricity, medical supplies etc.

Meanwhile, in the UK, several people individually (including me) are being prosecuted under a law (Communications Act 2003, s.127) which is so open to abuse (mainly from Jewish/Zionist cabals) that the Law Commission has officially recommended its repeal.

I should add, belatedly, that my alleged sins are said to date from 2020 and 2021— nothing to do with the present Israel/Palestine situation.

Of course, both China and Russia are hardly known for human rights, but then look at the USA: Abu Ghraib, Bagram, Guantanamo Bay, the bombing of civilians (admittedly nowhere near the Israeli level. Israel is beyond the pale).

“A Tory candidate standing in the forthcoming by-election once suggested that families using food banks should ‘f*** off’ if they could afford TVs and phones.

Andrew Cooper is standing for the Conservatives in Tamworth, Staffordshire, as voters go to the polls tomorrow after previous MP Chris Pincher was forced to quit after a sleaze scandal.

In an insensitive Facebook post in October 2020, Mr Cooper appeared to question whether people needed to use food banks.“

“...Mr Cooper told the BBC that there needed to be better incentives to get people into work.”

[Incentives? Higher pay?]

[Daily Mail]

The candidate also cannot spell, it seems (“YOR” for “YOUR“).

Sounds like a fairly moronic individual. Director of an engineering company called GEFCO, formerly owned by Russian interests.

I saw a photo of Andrew Cooper in a local newspaper: https://www.banburyguardian.co.uk/read-this/tamworth-by-election-2023-tory-candidate-andrew-cooper-parents-4375867.

In that report, the photo shows him wearing a blue suit with two military medals (in the Russian fashion, too, i.e. the actual medals, not just the ribbons).

The medals appear to be (the photo is not very clear) the equivalent of “campaign” medals, one for Iraq and one for service of at least 30 days with the NATO force in Kosovo. I am not very well-informed about medals, so I may not be quite right about that.

I blogged briefly recently about tomorrow’s two by-elections: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2023/10/08/diary-blog-8-october-2023-including-a-look-at-the-upcoming-tamworth-and-mid-bedfordshire-by-elections/.

I find the Tamworth by-election hard to call. I think that it must be between Con and Lab. I think that it may be close, but Labour has a pretty good chance here.

What interests me is the question “if both by-elections are lost, will Sunak resign, or at least face calls to resign?”

Well, who knows? With a day to go, there seems all to play for, not only for Lab and Con, but for the LibDems too.

At a guess, I too would have looked (pre-2020) at the Cons as the most likely choice by far (Nadine Dorries scored almost 60% in 2019), but people even in very “Conservative” areas are now mightily angry (mixed with apathy in view of the convergence of most Con/Lab policy). Not sure whether those former Con voters will vote Lab, though. I am inclined to think abstention or voting LibDem might be more popular.

The betting markets are often wrong on by-elections. Still, at present the betting exchanges have the Cons odds-on, Labour around 3/1 and LibDems around 5/1.

Sounds plausible, but that LibDem bet at 5/1 could be value.

It would be superb, though unexpected at present, to see that horrible bitch accredited to the UK also expelled (or whatever).

I suppose that Murray is referring to having been arrested on the basis of yet another malicious and lying complaint by the evil bastards of the “Campaign Against Antisemitism”, the same ones who are behind my politically-motivated trial late next month.

Looks like the pathetic Indian money-juggler and doormat for Israel is on the way out.

More about Tamworth

Further research into the Conservative Party candidate seems to confirm my earlier comments about his medals (Iraq and Kosovo): he enlisted in the Staffordshire Regiment, and served for 6 years. His final rank was Lance Corporal: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrew-cooper-38367816a/?originalSubdomain=uk, and it seems that his specialism was as a sniper.

Cooper himself self-describes as “Progressing from Sniper to Lance Corporal in the Staffordshire Regiment of the British Army. Completing tours such as Iraq, Kenya, Kosovo and Bosnia performing duties including surveillance, target acquisition and official duties in France for Queen Elizabeth II“; and

“Experienced, effective and diligent Railway Engineer with a strong track record in the sector following on from a distinguished military career. I specialise in railway maintenance and asset management but also have significant experience of railway engineering projects.”

Cooper having been a railway engineer for 17 years, I should think that he does a lot more good in that field than he might as an MP.

Well, there it is. We shall know the result late tomorrow, or early on Friday.

I think that Labour will win at Tamworth; not so sure about who will win in Mid-Beds. The bookmakers prefer Labour at Tamworth, and the Cons in Mid-Bedfordshire.

“FAZ: Russia is using the situation in Israel to discredit the United States and distract attention from Ukraine.

After the Hamas attack, the Russian President, on the one hand, spoke out for Israel’s right to defend itself, on the other hand, he condemned the blockade of Gaza, comparing it to Leningrad, and confirmed his commitment to the two-state principle.

Despite the fact that Russia has good contacts in the region and called for de-escalation of the conflict, Western countries in the UN Security Council rejected Moscow’s proposal. Frankfurter Allgemeine explains this by saying that Russia has intentions to use the new conflict to its advantage. The newspaper points out that the Russian president calls the situation in Israel “a striking example of the failure of US policy in the Middle East” and accuses Washington of not taking the “fundamental interests of the Palestinian people” into account.

In addition, according to the German newspaper, the Kremlin is using the conflict to divert attention from Ukraine. “The prospect that Israel will now receive Western weapons and ammunition that Kyiv might otherwise receive is emboldening the power apparatus and the media” in Russia.

Moscow also benefits from rising oil prices, which fill government finances.“

“America has been condoning Israeli war crimes for years, recalls Scott Ritter It is not unusual that the Israeli military bombed a hospital in Gaza, killing 500 people.

Such tactics are consistent with the IDF’s “Mowing the Grass” doctrine, which involves disproportionate violence against not only militants, but also civilians, including children, US Marine Corps intelligence officer Scott Ritter said in an interview with the Judging Freedom YouTube channel.

At the same time, he said, Washington is in no hurry to introduce an embargo, stop or at least criticize Tel Aviv, whose army is actually committing war crimes with the help of American weapons. Moreover, the United States has been turning a blind eye to this fact for many years. “We know what Israel is doing. We support what Israel is doing, so any talk in the US about compassion for the Palestinian population is one hundred percent false. We have never sympathized with the Palestinians. We have always supported Israel’s perspective and strategic goals, even if they include the “Cut the Grass” policy,” Ritter emphasized.”
