Shiite Iraqi holy man Moqtada
Tateral-Sadr
...hereditary Iraqi holy man and leader of a political movement in Iraq. He had his hereditary rival al-Khoei assassinated shortly after the holy rival's appearance out of exile in 2003. Formerly an Iranian catspaw, lately he's gagged over some of their more outlandish antics, then went back to catspawry...on Saturday rallied in the capital Baghdad to denounce deadly Israeli assaults on Paleostinians in the occupied territories.
"Jerusalem is ours. Death to Israel," read signs they held up as they flooded Baghdad's iconic Tahrir Square, holding a huge Paleostinian flag above their heads.
"The world is against Paleostine but God backs it," read another sign carried by the protesters who also waved the Iraqi flag and held pictures of Sadr.
The rally came as Israel pounded the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about
oppressionand
disproportionate response...
Strip on Saturday with air strikes, killing 10 members of an extended family and demolishing a 13-storey building housing international media outlets.
That coincided with festivities in the occupied West Bank as Paleostinians marked the Nakba, or "catastrophe" when more than 700,000 of them were expelled or fled from their land during the 1947-1948 conflict surrounding the creation of Israel.
"We stand with the Paleostinian people for better or worse," Sadr said in a statement delivered by his Baghdad representative Sheikh Ibrahim al-Jabari.
"Israel is trying, by every means possible, to reconcile with Arabs and Moslems through the normalisation of ties with countries who are only guided by economic and financial interests," Sadr's message said.
He was alluding to the US-brokered normalisation agreements Israel struck last year with the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan and Morocco.
Experts said Saturday's rally was a show of force by Sadr supporters ahead of early parliamentary elections expected to take place in October.
The vote is a central demand of an anti-government protest movement which erupted in 2019 and involved Sadr's partisans.
