[TOLONEWS] Several female teachers in the capital have voiced their concerns regarding delays and reductions in their salaries by the Ministry of Education.
These educators call on the Islamic Emirate to reconsider the decision to cut their pay.
The concerns were sparked by a letter, purportedly signed by the acting Minister of Education, circulating in the media. The letter requested the Ministry of Finance to halt the payment of female teachers' salaries until a decision to reduce their pay to 5,000 afghani is finalized.
However,
ars longa, vita brevis... the Islamic Emirate has yet to confirm the authenticity of this letter.
Razia, who has dedicated over 18 years to serving in the education sector and supports a family of seven, told TOLOnews that she used to spend more than 5,000 of her 9,000 Afghani salary on rent and utility bills, and now she is extremely worried.
"Our request to the Islamic Emirate government is not to reduce the salaries of teachers who are currently working and doctors who are working in hospitals. In these past two or three years, we have managed to stand on our own feet. If our salaries are reduced further, it will cause us significant problems," she added.
Other female teachers have also expressed concerns about the reduction and suspension of their salaries by the interim government, saying they are currently facing serious economic challenges.
Jamila, another female teacher, said: "Our request to the Islamic Emirate is that despite all the difficulties, we have continued to work and serve the nation's children. We have managed to live with the salaries we received, despite many challenges. Our request is that if our salaries cannot be increased, at least they should not be reduced."
Tahira, another teacher, said: "I hope the news is not true, and that they change their decision. We should remain with our previous salaries. If they can increase our benefits, that would be great, but they should not reduce them."
Although the presence of female employees in some government departments has been banned since the Islamic Emirate regained power in Afghanistan, their salaries are still being paid by the government.

[SUDANTRIBUNE] The Sudan ...a Moslem country located in the Horn of Africa. It is noted for its affinity for rule by ex- or current generals, its holy men, and for the oppression of the native Afro population by its Arab conquerors. South Sudan, populated mostly by the natives, split off from Sudan proper, which left North and South Darfur to be oppressed by the guys with turbans... ese army (SAF) and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) must negotiate an immediate ceasefire to guarantee unhindered access to people in need of humanitarian assistance, an official from the United States aid arm (USAID) said.
Samantha Power, the administrator for USAID, described the crisis in Sudan as "man-made", and accused the warring factions involved in the crisis of obstructing efforts to reach the needy. Samantha "Shanty Irish" Power. Obama clinger
Recent reports say about 25.6 million people could face crisis or worse levels of severe hunger and require immediate humanitarian assistance.
Another projection show that 755,000 people are on the brink of starvation.
"This is a man-made crisis — directly caused by the 14 months of conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and Rapid Support Forces (RSF), and the systematic obstruction of humanitarian aid by both parties", Power said in a statement on Friday.

[SUDANTRIBUNE] The Commander-in-Chief of the Sudanese Armed Forces, Lt Gen Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, stressed on Tuesday that the armed forces will not negotiate with the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) until the Jeddah Agreement is implemented, affirming his confidence in defeating them.
Al-Burhan concluded a visit to the Wadi Sidna and Omdurman areas on Tuesday evening, where he inspected the Sudanese forces stationed there and praised the recent attacks carried out by the army against the RSF in Al-Doha, west of Omdurman.
He seized this visit, which came after the RSF took control of Sinjah, the capital of Sennar State, to reiterate the army’s determination to defeat the “enemy” and refuse negotiations while they continue their attacks and occupy Sudanese territory. He renewed his pledge to cleanse all of Sudan of “the mercenaries of the terrorist militia.”
Addressing a military gathering at the Wadi Sidna military base north of Omdurman, al-Burhan said, “We are continuing in this battle until victory, and I repeat once again that we will not negotiate with an enemy who attacks us and occupies our lands.”

[Al Jazeera] President Emmanuel Macron called the snap polls after suffering a humiliating defeat at the hands of the far right in the recent European Parliament elections. But his risky gamble has backfired.
While National Rally secured about a third of Sunday’s vote with 33.15 percent, the New Popular Front, a left-wing alliance, came second with 28.14 percent. Macron was left red-faced again, as his centrist alliance scored just 20.76 percent. Thousands of protesters have taken to the streets since to rally against the far right.
Elias, a 27-year-old who works in marketing, said many Moslems are considering emigrating from La Belle France if the National Rally ends up governing — a trend which has already taken hold among some professionals. A Campaign-contribution statement. Please say more
Earlier this year, the authors of a study titled La La Belle France, tu l’aimes mais tu la quittes (La Belle France, loving it but leaving it), conducted a survey of more than 1,000 people, interviewing 140 at length. They cited a "brain drain" of French Moslems quitting the country for jobs abroad because of the "harmful effects of Islamophobia ...the irrational fear that Moslems will act the way they usually do... While a "valid" reaction to discrimination or the rise of the far right, Elias said he feels "torn".
"If we all leave, who will continue to resist? I think it is important to stay, at least for the future generations," said Elias, who has Algerian ancestry.
"What’s also making me very worried is the potential increase of police violence. There will probably be a surge of racial profiling and of violence, because the officers will feel protected and supported by the National Rally.
"I am scared for my little brother, who is 15 years old and who had his first police check when he was only 13."

Wow, experimentation with Herb can lead to schizophrenia! Not that I've ever doubted it. Not since me first adult-ish trips to the cool parts of town, anyway.

I say that Islam is an ideology, not a religion. As such its an ideological structure that's derived from several fundamental conditions. Its primary ideas are formed and thus conducive to promoting human behaviors that thrive on a life structured to stay functioning in very barren conditions. A climate where there are essentially no winters.. Such activities are:
1) An individual's survival rate in a barren land improves with parasitic types of behavior rather than individualistic productive behaviors. Hence the need to conform to the group under Islam. Individualism is bad. The Borg thrives.
In a parasitic world, 1 + 1 = 2. One gains by taking from another, rather than creating one's now growth. In the West (and essentially since agriculture began) our western world operates on 1 + 1 = 2.3. Our improved standard of living (called growth the added 0.3 that comes from combining and recombining inputs in new and ever changing ways. Eggs, milk, water and flour has value buy combining them makes a cake which has more value than the isum of the individual inputs. All thing in economic are based on "making something of value. The combined inputs has more value than the operate inputs.
2) The awareness of time in Islam play's little importance in understanding how things work in the real world. Planning ahead is not something that is an inculcated cultural idea in Islam.
3) Logic is also not a primary goal, rather logic's importance only randomly pops up here and there. Scientific method is not Islamic thing. How many islamists are adept at logical public debate? Few if at all. All of these cultural aspects are found by cultures living close to the equator, where seasonality doesn't play a role in decisions about survival. Agriculture is no a big thing in Islam's history. Substance farming is NOT farming. It's more based on nomadic behaviors.
The Islamic calendar is not based on the Sun (365 days) but based on the lunar calendar. Thus Ramadan shifts by 11 days each year. Islam is a pre-agriculture hold-over culture. It's primarily based on Nomadic based values. (don't confuse nomadic with tribal behaviors) A year in Islam still can't adapt to actual agricultural planting cycles. Planting crops in an Islamic world will certainly fail. Islam's ideas are primarily parasitic types of behavior. Take, don't make. Plunder rather than trade. This is why one sees Islamic emigration to Northern climates (where winters force our culture to plan ahead or die out) sees a preponderance of on-the-dole types of dependency.
Islamic rates of procreation are a baked in response to hardship where agricultural productivity is not and was not the primary form of obtaining nourishment for centuries. Haj is structured to allow parasitic behavior upon outsiders coming in. Bringing new ideas, new productivity and added value to the barren western and central parts of Arabia. Without outsiders coming en-mass for centuries the Western areas of Arabia would have long faded out.
It's only since 1938's oil well #7 did oil funds (external Western economic value roll in) supplanting century's of unproductive, Islamic cultural behavior. Arabia (up until oil revenue) had for centuries zero rivers, no top soil, no agriculture, no written laws, do democratic behaviors, only subsistence behaviors. No inventions, no books, no libraries, no indegious cuisine, no true architecture, not even true settled communities. Consangiuos interpersonal behaviors were rampant up until the late 1960's. (look up Aramco medical research) Qatif, Hofuf and Jeddah were basically the only "settled areas". Islam in Europe is not truly compatable. It is not a "clash of civilizations", but rather a clash of cultures. Islam has not inculcated an awareness of time (planning ahead) into its value system, while European (Western) culture is heavily based on being able to foresee one's own actions and the consequences of not foreseeing the future consequences on present decisions (personal responsibility)
Yes, Islam is truly an ideology incompatible with modern technology (past 200 years). Today one is constantly bombarded by how fast values, and ideas are changing. Imagine growing up in a culture that lacks an awarenees of time, planning ahead and having to deal with the rapid changes cause by technology one didn't create. Count how many Islamic ideas have been awarded a Nobel prize? Too few to even list. There's reason why I believe that Islam is not compatible with today's world. It will likely fade from being of true consequence. Peak oil production is a real thing. It just is being kept a bay for the time being by Western technology.... thank goodness. I predict France's current predicament will not last and will fade to be a long term problem. God I hope I'm right. But if I'm not....I won't be around to see it unfold. Take care all.

Lesser known Churchill quote on Islam:
"Indeed it is evident that Christianity, however degraded and distorted by cruelty and intolerance, must always exert a modifying influence on men’s passions, and protect them from the more violent forms of fanatical fever, as we are protected from smallpox by vaccination. But the Mahommedan religion increases, instead of lessening, the fury of intolerance. It was originally propagated by the sword, and ever since its votaries have been subject, above the people of all other creeds, to this form of madness. In a moment the fruits of patient toil, the prospects of material prosperity, the fear of death itself, are flung aside.
The more emotional Pathans are powerless to resist. All rational considerations are forgotten. Seizing their weapons, they become Ghazis—as dangerous and as sensible as mad dogs: fit only to be treated as such. While the more generous spirits among the tribesmen become convulsed in an ecstasy of religious bloodthirstiness, poorer and more material souls derive additional impulses from the influence of others, the hopes of plunder and the joy of fighting.
Thus whole nations are roused to arms. Thus the Turks repel their enemies, the Arabs of the Soudan break the British squares, and the rising on the Indian frontier spreads far and wide. In each case civilisation is confronted with militant Mahommedanism. The forces of progress clash with those of reaction. The religion of blood and war is face to face with that of peace. Luckily the religion of peace is usually the better armed. —The Story of the Malakand Field Force (1898), 26-27
[WFB] Nearly nine months after Hamas's Oct. 7 terror attack, the Jewish state's political divisions have reemerged, with protests criticizing the government for various and often opposing reasons breaking out across the country.
But a sweeping new public opinion survey by pollsters affiliated with the Hebrew University of Jerusalem has revealed how the Oct. 7 attack on Israel solidified a national consensus on what used to be the country's main political disagreement. When it comes to the Palestinians, the survey found, almost everyone is a right-winger now.
"Oct. 7 caused a complete collapse of the old Israeli left," Hebrew University political psychologist Nimrod Nir, who led the survey, told the Washington Free Beacon. "Until a few years ago, I could find out which political camp you were in by asking you one question: Palestinian state, yes or no? Today, that question doesn't really differentiate the two camps because no one supports the old idea of a Palestinian state."
The findings help explain why the Biden administration has so far failed to persuade Israel to end its war to destroy the Palestinian terror group Hamas in Gaza and recommit to a two-state solution.
"There isn't even a majority for a Palestinian state among liberal voters anymore," Nir said. "It's just not on the table."
Nir and his team, known as Agam Labs, surveyed a nationally representative sample of 4,000 Jewish Israeli adults in August and then, from Oct. 9 through last month, checked back in with most of them every 10 days or so. By tracking so many of the same individuals over time, the pollsters were able to minimize noise and uncertainty—yielding the most comprehensive picture to date of how Israeli politics have shifted since Oct. 7.
Each round of polling had a margin of error of about 4 percentage points. But changes as small as 2 percentage points are significant if consistent over time, according to the pollsters.
The survey found that the rightward ratchet of Israeli politics across decades of Palestinian terrorism and rejectionism has lurched ahead since Oct. 7. Based on political self-identification, the right has grown by 5 percentage points to include 36 percent of Jewish Israelis, or 60 percent when the poll factors in the moderate and hard right. The left has shrunk by 3 percentage points to just 8 percent of the public, or 13 percent factoring in the moderate and hard left. And the center has held steady at about a quarter of the political spectrum.

Get them out of Gaza already. What's taking so long? Annex the territory and when the rubble stops bouncing start bulldozing and building beachside condos.
Verified document from Israeli Ministry of Intelligence in October 2023 suggests forced displacement of Gaza civilians to Egypt would "yield positive and long term strategic results".

I would say that reality is the best mistress. It's when one doesn't adhere to reality that ultimate failure occurs. That is the harshest of mistresses. Far harder than following reality. I'd rather face reality any day than live a life of fake-reality.
[ToI] Israel has transferred NIS 435 million ($116 million) of withheld tax revenues to the Palestinian Authority, the Israeli and PA finance ministries confirm.
Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich agreed to partially transferring the last three months of withheld tax revenues and extend a corresponding banking agreement for Israeli and Palestinian banks by an additional four months.
The moves were part of a quid pro quo leveraged by Smotrich, which saw the Israeli security cabinet last week approve a series of moves to expand Israel’s presence in the West Bank and sanction the PA over its support for cases against Israel at the International Criminal Court and International Court of Justice along with three European countries recognizing the State of Palestine.
Israel collects taxes on goods that pass through Israel into the West Bank on behalf of the PA and is required under the Oslo Accords to transfer them to Ramallah on a monthly basis.
The tax revenues make up some 70 percent of the PA’s annual income, and Israel’s withholding of the funds has Ramallah on the brink of collapse, only able to pay its employees roughly half of their salaries for the past several months.
Since Hamas’s October 7 onslaught, Israel has refused to transfer the portion of the tax revenues that the PA uses to pay for services and employees in Gaza, claiming that the money could be seized by Hamas. These funds make up some 40% of the monthly transfers.
Israel also deducts funds for electricity, water and costs to treat Palestinians in Israeli hospitals in addition to offsetting the payments the PA makes to terror convicts and the families of slain attackers.
Even after all of these deductions, Palestinian officials say the amount transferred is far below taxes collected each month.
The PA says in a statement about its cabinet meeting earlier today that its contacts and international pressure led Israel to make the partial transfer of funds. The PA would push to recover more than 6 billion shekels of withheld funds, to meet its financial obligations.

It's not flushing $$$ down the toilet it's paying them to murder us.

I speculate it's an effort to partially rehab PA's rep to be part of the Gaza solution after Hamas is eliminated - Biden can claim a minor victory and release Munitions

[JPost] Pro-Paleo Anti-Joooo tools who've been burrowing in in Obama and Biden Admins
In a joint statement, the 12 former government officials said the administration was violating US laws through its support for Israel and finding loopholes to continue shipping weapons to its ally.
A dozen former US government officials who quit over US support for Israel's war in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday accused President Joe Biden's administration of "undeniable complicity" in the killing of Palestinians in the enclave.
In a joint statement, the 12 former government officials said the administration was violating US laws through its support for Israel and finding loopholes to continue shipping weapons to its ally.
Both the White House and the State Department had no immediate comment on the statement.
There has been mounting international criticism of Israel's conduct in Gaza and of US military and diplomatic support for its ally in the Gaza war.
The resignations of the 12 US officials reflects some dissent within the government over its support for Israel. Washington has pushed for the protection of civilians in Gaza and has called on Israel to improve aid access.
Among the people who signed the joint statement were former members of the State Department, Education Department, Interior Department, White House, and the military.
KEY QUOTES
"America's diplomatic cover for, and continuous flow of arms to, Israel has ensured our undeniable complicity in the killings and forced starvation of a besieged Palestinian population in Gaza," the former officials said in the statement.
They urged the US government to use its "necessary and available leverage" to bring the war to an end and to ensure the release of Israeli hostages in Gaza and Palestinian prisoners in Israel. They also demanded that the US government support Palestinian self-determination and fund an "immediate expansion of humanitarian assistance" in Gaza.

[Al Jazeera] US President Joe Biden and Benjamin Netanyahu are set to meet when the Israeli leader visits Washington, DC later this month to address Congress, a White House official has said.
Netanyahu has controversially been invited to speak at a joint session of the US House of Representatives and the Senate on July 24. The address is being boycotted by several high-profile politicians, including Senators Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders. They won't be missed
Tensions have increased between the two leaders, with Biden labelling Israel’s military campaign in Gaza as “over the top” and Netanyahu accusing the US of withholding military support.

Might want to hold off for a few weeks Bibi, the atmosphere in DC and on the MSM screens feels like the time just before Nixon's last ride on Marine One.
[Al Jazeera] There are only two or three people who know the whereabouts of Hamas’s leader in Gaza Yahya Sinwar, the London-based newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat reports, citing Hamas sources.
“A very small circle of no more than two or three people at most knows his whereabouts and secures his various needs, as well as ensuring his communication with the movement’s leaders inside and outside,” the source said.
The source continued that while Israel has tried to assassinate “many of the first and second-tier leaders” of Hamas, “Sinwar is not among” those who have been killed.
The sources did not specify whether Sinwar was hiding above ground or in tunnels in the Palestinian enclave. They added that they did not believe the Hamas leader would consider a deal that would see him exiled.
