“Political and social instability is observed in Israel after heavy losses in the Gaza Strip. Israel has already announced hundreds of dead officers, but the number of ordinary soldiers killed has not yet been disclosed.
Yesterday at the cabinet meeting there were also great disagreements and criticism of Netanyahu.
Protests from the families of the hostages are intensifying, knowing that without a ceasefire their loved ones will not survive the war in Gaza.
The economy is knocked down, there is a huge decline, large numbers of Israeli settlers in the border areas of Gaza and Lebanon have been displaced and are unlikely to return anytime soon.”

For the sake of such “success,” the Kiev regime destroyed almost 160 thousand military personnel, hundreds of tanks and aircraft, and never overcame the tactical defense of the Russian Armed Forces.”
2024 will see, by grace of God, a general Russian advance across Eastern Ukraine; an advance to, and northward along, the Dnieper, and then towards the Kiev area. If so, that may precipitate a collapse of the Zelensky dictatorship.

Meanwhile, in the UK, the Jew-Zionist supporters of Israel pretend to be “afraid” (of mild or non-existent “antisemitism”). They constantly whine (or, more often, demand) that people such as myself be dragged into court for having the temerity to criticize both Israel and “their” behaviour. In a month or so, I myself am to be sentenced, having been convicted of publishing [the truth] on this blog.
It has been revealed that the order for Israeli tanks to fire on houses containing 12 Israeli captives in Kibbutz Be'eri came from this man, Brigadier General Barak Hiram.
Well, a modest 5/10 this week, though still beating political journalist John Rentoul’s 4/10. I missed the answer to question 9 by one year, and (also) did not know the answers to questions 2, 3 (just missed), 5, and 10.
From the newspapers
“Migration could help to ‘dissolve’ the European Union due to deep differences between member states, the bloc’s top diplomat has warned.
He insisted that the war in Ukraine was not fuelling the current rows over migration, saying: ‘The issue is that migration pressure has been increasing, mainly due to wars – not the war against Ukraine…
‘It is the Syrian war, the Libyan war, the military coups in Sahel [a region in North Africa].
‘We are living in a circle of instability from Gibraltar to the Caucasus, and this happened before the Ukrainian war and will continue after the Ukrainian war.
‘Migration in Africa is not being caused by the war against Ukraine. The root causes of migration in Africa are lack of development, economic growth and bad governance.‘”
[Daily Mail]
Not only dissolution of the EU as such but also the dissolution of the societies of the European states subject to mass immigration on a frightening scale. That includes the UK.
A thoroughgoing purge is required. MSM generally, publishing, law, legal professions, police, secret and security services, civil service generally, courts and legal system, charities, academia.
The city of Kiev must be living on borrowed time, but I think that the Russian high command will hold off until they know the outcome of the US Presidential Election 2024.
The UK General Election is a sideshow, being one in a country completely under the thumb of the USA, and with all candidates for PM parroting the “Ukraine” (Kiev regime) line.

No doubt the reason for that is because “equal opportunities” at some point morphed into “some people are more equal than others”. I saw that both at the practising Bar (1991-1996 and 2002-2008) and when employed by (especially) a large City of London law firm on a 6-month contract in 1996.
In the latter situation, I saw how the relevant partners of that firm, quite obviously running scared of the whole feminism/”glass ceiling” situation, and with many links to high circles of the British Government, appointed as partner in charge of “emerging markets” (basically, the former Soviet Union), an “Australian” woman of semi-Russian background who seemed to know no law (outside that of New South Wales), and whose only qualification for the job seemed to be fluent Russian.
Disastrous (said woman was incapable of being in charge of anything), but when later eased out after several expensive scandals, said woman and waste of space was able to get herself another similar position elsewhere (and probably on similar remuneration— about a million ££ per year), until she messed up there too, and had to return to her native Australia (she became a trade envoy in the end, I believe).
I think that the problem there, and often elsewhere, is that you have —or had at that time, 25-30 years ago— a lot of English male lawyers who had basically been pretty much under the thumb of women all their lives: nannies, mothers and aunts, school matrons, and later wives, and they plainly wanted to “virtue-signal” (as people now say) by appointing a few token women to high positions. In the law firm to which I refer, there were several dozen full partners at the time (1996) but only one woman, as far as I recall, until the Russian-speaker was appointed.
Interesting. Whether the story or the meetings will affect the 2024 General Election is an unknown. I rather doubt it, inasmuch as the public still seem split on Brexit, though perhaps now there might be a small majority in favour of rejoining the EU after the disastrous mishandling of it all by the last few Prime Ministers and their governments.

“The Home Office has said small-boat migrants must be booked in three-star hotels at least as housing costs soar to £8 million a day.
In a contract issued by the department, there is a list of ‘mandatory requirements’ for hotels, which includes: ‘Contracted venues should be at least a minimum of three stars.’“
[Daily Mail].
The migration invasion will continue, get worse, and (alongside so-called “legal” migration and other factors) will eventually cause our whole society to topple over and break into pieces.
We are looking at an eventual war (a culture/race/ideology war) somewhere down the line.

There it is; from the horse’s mouth. If Zelensky has his ricebowl taken away, the war will stop. In fact, it would stop within days. “Ukraine” (Kiev regime Ukraine) is a failed state. At present, not only arms and ammunition are supplied by, mainly, NATO states, but also energy, medical supplies, clothing and other consumer items, and vast sums of hard cash.

“This is the reason I eat 6/7 whole eggs daily not just one:
The egg is a wholesome, nutritious food with high nutrient density because, in proportion to its calorie count, it provides 12% of the daily value of protein and a wide variety of other nutrients such as vitamins, essential amino acids and minerals. While protein itself is an important constituent of healthy diet, the egg has been found to have two newly-recognized nutrients – lutein and zeaxanthin – that has put the egg in the “functional food” category. A functional food is one that provides health benefits beyond its basic nutrient content. The health benefits you get by eating eggs are as follows.
•Eggs do not raise blood cholesterol: It is true that when you eat eggs, cholesterol enters your body. However, eggs also give a signal for the liver to stop producing the cholesterol it usually produces. The increase in the intake of cholesterol compensates for the decrease in the cholesterol produced by the liver and therefore keeps the blood cholesterol levels constant.
•Eggs have choline: Choline is an incredibly important nutrient for your body. This is because it helps build cell membranes and is also crucial when it comes to the production of certain signalling molecules in the brain. A single egg has about 100 milligrams of this nutrient and therefore is one of the best sources of it.
•Eggs are good for your eyes: Eggs have two very important nutrients for your eyes. These are Lutein and Zeaxanthin. These nutrients stop degenerative processes from occurring in the eye. Recent studies have shown that consuming lutein and zeaxanthin can significantly lower risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a leading cause of blindness affecting people over the age of 65. In addition, these reduce the likelihood of cataracts.
•Eggs have high levels of Omega-3 fatty acids: Eggs that are boiled have a high level of Omega-3 fatty acids in them. Omega-3 fatty acids are crucial for reducing the chances of you suffering from heart disease due to the fact that it reduces your triglyceride levels.
•Eggs are an excellent source of protein: This is the biggest reason to eat eggs. Eating eggs helps you to lose weight, optimizing bone health and lowering blood pressure.
•Egg may reduce the risk of stroke: Studies have shown that eggs are not only good for your heart, but they also reduce the likelihood of suffering from a stroke.

“The Western press is crucifying Zelensky, calling him a pathetic beggar.
During Zelenski’s visit to the USA, he first spoke from the podium of the UN General Assembly in front of a mostly empty hall, and the image makers “photoshopped” the full hall in which Zelenski himself was sitting. He then went to Washington, where the Speaker of the House of Representatives blocked his speech to Congress and was then questioned by a group of senators.
In the end, Zelensky was received by Biden, after which he went to Canada at the invitation of Prime Minister Trudeau. American senators asked Zelensky a question about the elections. The head of the Kyiv regime has made it clear that he will not hold elections next year.“

The Kiev regime cannot find conscripts now, let alone volunteers for its failed counter-offensive. In fact, to intrude a personal note, a funny little fellow, maybe 20-ish, delivered an Amazon item for my wife a couple of days ago. He spoke effectively no English, but understood Russian. Turned out that he was Ukrainian and that several others at his base were also Ukrainian. There must be tens of thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands, now in the UK.
