Arabia
Sayyid Abdul-Malik Al-Houthi vows painful response to Zionist entity, US
We’re supposed to be terrified, right?
[HODHODYEMENNEWS.NET] Sayyed
...Arabic term meaning your/his lordship. Groveling in His Exalted Presence is encouraged...
Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, the leader of the Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
i revolution, addressed on Thursday new messages to the Zionist entity and the United States of America regarding the expected response by the al-Quds, Jihad, and resistance axis, stressing that "the response is coming and will be painful."

In his speech on the latest developments and developments on the regional and local scene, Sayyid Abdul-Malik affirmed that all American moves aimed at stopping or reducing the response would fail.

He noted that the Zionist enemy faces a number of challenges and the accompanying adverse repercussions on its retreating interior and deterioration at the economic level.

"The decision to respond from the al-Quds axis to the crime of the Israeli enemy’s targeting of the deaders Ismail Haniyeh
...became Prime Minister of Gaza after the legislative elections of 2006 which Hamas won. President Mahmoud Abbas dismissed Haniyeh from office on 14 June 2007 at the height of the Fatah-Hamas festivities, but Haniyeh did not acknowledge the decree and continues as the PM of Gazoo while Abbas maintains a separate PM in the West Bank...
and Fouad Shukr and Hodeidah attacks is inevitably coming," Sayyid Abdul-Malik said.

Sayyid Abdul-Malik explained that "the decision to respond is a faith, moral, and sincere commitment from honest people who have been tested in their honesty in word and deed, and it is a practical necessity to deter the enemy, and each of these considerations is sufficient to make decisions to respond."

He noted that there is a determination to implement that response, "no matter the efforts made by the Americans to contain it."

In response to the American military moves, in addition to the political and diplomatic efforts, the revolution leader said that "the American naval vessels and the arrival of aircraft to military bases cannot stop the response."

He stressed that the response is "a strategic decision and an actual necessity to deter the Israeli enemy, which is a criminal enemy whose criminality and aggression are unparalleled."

"Efforts to contain the response will fail, as it is an inevitable decision from all fronts of support, from all fronts in the axis," Sayyid Abdul-Malik confirmed.

He renewed the clarification by saying: "The delay (to respond) is in a practical context, on the basis that it will be painful for the enemy, and also in the event of American mobilization."

Sayyid Abdul-Malik pointed out that this delay has a practical impact on the Zionist enemy that is unprecedented in the current reality. "The enemy has never been in this stage of fear, with the cancellation of flights from many companies and fear and panic among usurping settlers."

He concluded his speech by emphasizing that all fronts have the decisive decision, and they are heading towards this, so the response would come inevitably and with certainty.

Caucasus/Russia/Central Asia
New charges added to defendants in Crocus terrorist attack case
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] The alleged perpetrators of the terrorist attack at the Crocus City Hall concert hall have had their charges increased, according to the case materials. Now they are also accused of teaching terrorism and participating in a terrorist organization.

In addition, the court granted the request of the preliminary investigation bodies to extend the period of detention of those accused of committing a terrorist act at Crocus City Hall.

“The court granted the investigators’ request and extended the detention of Dalerdzhon Mirzoyev, Saidakram Rachabalizoda Shamsidin Fariduni and Muhammadsobiru Faizov (all of whom are included in the list of terrorists and extremists) until November 22,” the press service of the Basmanny Court of Moscow reported.

The terrorist attack at Crocus occurred on March 22. The attackers burst into the hall, started shooting at people, and then set the auditorium on fire. As a result of the incident, 144 people died, including six children, and more than 500 people were injured.

The perpetrators of the March 23 terrorist attack were detained in the Bryansk region; they were heading towards the border with Ukraine. The terrorists' connection with Ukrainian nationalists was proven. A total of 18 people were arrested in connection with the Crocus City Hall terrorist attack. In July, the court extended the investigation period for the terrorist attack until September 22.

Muslim leaders expect 100,000 pro-Palestinian demonstrators for DNC
Enjoy your sauce, O geese and ganders.
[WGNTV] Leaders of four Moslem organizations say they're expecting upwards of 100,000 demonstrators to take part in a number of protests during the Democratic National Convention.
"The whole world is watching us" redux...
Three main protests are being planned for Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, the first and last days of the convention. More than 150 organizations from around the country say they've formed a collective to have these protests be large in numbers, and while they represent a number of different interests, they say they will be focused on the Israeli-Paleostinian war.

...Democrat National Committee, where all those off-the-wall talking points originate...
2024 security zones and protest plans: What we know

The Chicago area is home to the largest Paleostinian population in the United States.
The leaders at a Monday morning press event said there will also be meetings with the Democratic leaders inside the convention about the US response in the Middle East. About 65 of the DNC delegates this year are Moslem.

Their push is to get President Biden to arrange a permanent ceasefire and work toward a Paleostinian state before he leaves office.

''The president has failed once again to really bring peace and ceasefire. He was able to send quite a bit of weapons to Israel, 2,000 pounds of bombs, but he could not send crates of food and medicine,'' said Oussama Jammal with the US Council of Moslem Organizations.

Dr. Muhammad Abdulgany Hamedeh with The Council of Islamic Organizations of Greater reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown
...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel...
said elected officials have failed to enforce the resumption of humanitarian aid to Paleostinians facing famine.

''These military actions have inflicted much pain and suffering on the civilians living in Gazoo

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 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.

campaign about the war.

''Especially in this election and the other presidential candidates, she gives us some hope,'' said Sayed Khan of Illinois Moslem Political Action Committee Membership.

A federal judge is expected to rule Tuesday on routes the demonstrators will be able to take to exercise their First Amendment rights.

The Chicago area is home to the largest Paleostinian population in the United States.

Great White North
Republicans call for enhanced northern border security as Gazans flock to Canada
[JustTheNews] Republicans are calling on the Biden administration to increase security at the northern border after the Canadian government began issuing visas to Gazooks who may be connected to the terrorist organization Hamas
..not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,...
The Canadian government’s program includes giving Gazooks a "Refugee Travel Document," which replaces their passport and is accepted by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, enabling them to enter the U.S.

"However,
facts are stubborn; statistics are more pliable...
with little to no reliable records or background checks of these individuals from the Paleostinian Territories, these policies unlock opportunities for individuals with ties to terrorist groups to enter Canada, receive new forms of identification, and then try to enter the U.S. along the porous north border," the Republican senators said. "Irrespective of Canada’s immigration policies, the U.S. should not waive common-sense terrorist screening and vetting for any individual entering the U.S. through other countries."

While Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has claimed everyone entering the country, legally or illegally, is vetted, DHS Office of Inspector General reports have found the opposite to be true, The Center Square reported.

Because of the record number of known or suspected turbans who’ve been apprehended at the U.S.-Canada border, over 1,000 since fiscal 2021, "the possibility of turbans crossing the U.S.-Canada border is deeply concerning given the deep penetration of Gazook society by Hamas," the senators said. "It would be irresponsible for the U.S. to not take necessary heightened precautions when foreigners attempt to enter the United States."

India-Pakistan
FO urges Kabul to avoid unprovoked acts against Pak-Afghan border
[GEO.TV] The Foreign Office (FO) on Friday urged the interim Afghan government to exercise restraint and avoid unprovoked acts against the Pakistain-Afghanistan border.

Foreign Office Spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch made the remarks while responding to a question about rising incidents of cross-border firing and a recent clash between the border forces of Pakistain and Afghanistan near the Torkham border crossing.

Earlier this week, security forces of Pakistain and Afghanistan exchanged heavy fire after the former objected to the construction of a controversial checkpost near the border by the Afghans. The cross-border firing incident resulted in the closure of the border for all types of movement.

Addressing a weekly news briefing in Islamabad, the FO spokesperson said: "First, I would not like to go into history of such border violations from the Afghan side. However,
the hip bone's connected to the leg bone...
as you know, the recent incident was very unfortunate when on the 12th of August, Afghan forces opened indiscriminate fire at the Torkham border."

Pak forces responded appropriately in self-defence, she added.

"We urge the Afghan authorities to exercise restraint and avoid unprovoked acts against Pakistain-Afghanistan border. They must understand that Pak forces will always defend their territory."

She further said that they remain ready to resolve any misunderstandings through established diplomatic channels.

International-UN-NGOs
Former Bosnian Serb Commander Mladic Falls and Hits Head in Prison
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] Former Bosnian Serb commander Ratko Mladic, 82,fell in a prison in The Hague and hit his head, General Darko's son reported on August 16.

In an interview with Vecherne Novosti, he said the incident happened last week. Darko Mladic, who regularly visits his father in prison, came to The Hague, but the prison administration said his father was in hospital.

"We were told that he had lost consciousness while standing, had fallen and hit his head hard. Then I believe they picked him up. We were told that there would be no visit to the prison, so we went to the city hospital to see him," Darko Mladic said.

The general, according to him, was conscious during the visit to the hospital, but could not remember how exactly he fell. Ratko Mladic stayed in the hospital for two days, after which he was sent back to prison.

Darko Mladic also said that doctors at The Hague prison were not providing his father with enough care. Doctors deny that their mistakes were the reason General Mladic was hospitalized with kidney failure in April, but the facts show exactly that, his son said.

As reported by the Regnum news agency, in June 2021, the court sentenced General Mladic to life imprisonment, finding him guilty of war crimes, including the genocide of Bosnian Muslims in Srebrenica in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1995. Mladic has been in prison since 2011.

Darko Mladic had previously reported that his father's health had deteriorated significantly. General Mladic was very weak and had difficulty moving, his son noted.

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Activists prepare to defy Israeli naval blockade of Gaza
They’ve been preparing since April, as they’ve done regularly since the first one in 2010.
[ARABNEWS] Peace activists from several countries are setting out on a converted trawler to defy an Israeli blockade and deliver humanitarian aid to Paleostinians in 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.

Strip.

"The purpose of this mission is to send a message that civil society is not OK with what’s happening in Gaza," said Fellipe Lopes, the Portuguese media coordinator of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition
…a project of the Turkish IHH Humanitarian Relief Foundation, a semi-official "charity" branch of the Erdogan government that links the government, the Turkish branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, and pet jihadi groups like ISIS in Syria, among others. IHH puts together a Freedom Flotilla every few years. Except for the first one, which was raided by the IDF on the high seas, the rest have not made it across the Mediterranean, as I recall...
on board the ship Handala during a stopover in Malta.

It will be a trip fraught with danger. Another coalition ship on a similar mission to Gaza in 2010 was stopped and boarded by Israeli troops, and nine activists died.
Other ships were similarly stopped and boarded, without loss of life.

"We expect to encounter resistance throughout our mission," said Australian activist Michael Coleman.

"Ours is not an illegal activity in any shape or form. The International Court of Justice has asked them to grant unfettered access to aid into Gaza and I implore them to let us and other aids through immediately," he said.

The Handala was visited in Malta by 78-year-old retired US Army Col. and diplomat Ann Wright, who was on board another coalition ship boarded by Israeli troops in 2010, in the incident in which nine activists died.
So she's an experienced asshole terror supporter
"These people are very brave, because we don’t know what’s going to happen. If the
…that’d be the Mavi Marmara..
Israelis stop them, we know it’ll be brutal," Wright said.

The brightly colored Handala carries activists from Italia, La Belle France, Norway, Australia, the Netherlands, Syria and a number of Paleostinians. It has made several port calls around Scandinavia and the Mediterranean to raise awareness about the situation in Gaza.

Its hull carries slogans reading: "Free Paleostine," "Gaza you are not alone" and "Stop the Genocide," while its humanitarian aid cargo consists mostly of medicines.

The trip along the Eastern Mediterranean to Gaza will take a week but organizers said they might stop over in another harbor on the way.
Or become a reef

Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Power outage in Lebanon: The last operational power plant shuts down - report
[JPost] South Lebanon Water Establishment said that shutting down power plants will negatively affect their ability to pump sufficient quantities of water into the area

The Zahrani power plant, the last and only plant still providing electricity in Lebanon, reportedly shut down on Saturday, Sawt Beirut International reported on X, citing Lebanon's electric corporation, Électricité du Liban.

The Jerusalem Post could not access Lebanon's Electric Corporation's website.

The South Lebanon Water Establishment said that shutting down power plants will negatively affect their ability to pump sufficient quantities of water into the area.

The Electric Corporation, as per Sawt Beirut International, said that Zahrani no longer supplies electricity "as a result of the exploitation of the plant's oil reserves, which resulted in a complete interruption of the supply of electricity to all areas of Lebanon, including the basic facilities in the country, including the airports, water and sewage infrastructure, and more," Israeli media reported.
