[FoxNews] Local gangs claim Venezuelan gangsters have started to impede on their traditional territory
I’m finding it hard to work up sympathy here, guys. Perhaps if you do something heroic to defend the community, like catching them and turning them over to the police…no, that’s kind of pointless in Chicago. How about catching them and hamstringing them and cutting off their trigger fingers, then dropping them off at the southern border and filming them walking across? Then post their photos on a website for future identification. Because really, guys, the original point of gangs was to protect the neighbourhood — the crime profits are the frosting, not the cake.
Venezuelan migrants moving into Chicago’s South Side have caught the attention of the city’s gangs, with some fearing an impending turf war between local gangs and their Venezuelan counterparts.
"When the black gangs here get fed up with the illegalities and criminal activities of these migrants or non-citizens, the city of Chicago is going to go up in flames and there will be nothing the National Guard or the government can do about it when the bloodshed hits the streets. It’ll be blacks against migrants," Tyrone Muhammad, a former Chicago gangster who did 20 years in prison and now runs a violence prevention program, said in a report for the New York Post.
The comments come as Chicago has seen an influx of Venezuelan migrants, according to the report, including members of the notorious Tren de Aragua gang.
With the arrival has come a rise in crime, locals told the New York Post, while some Venezuelan gangsters have started to encroach on the territory of the city’s local gangs.
"There’s been a lot going on with (the migrant gangs) that nobody’s even hearing about," Zacc Massie, a local Chicago gang member, told the New York Post. "They be moving in our own territory and robbing people but they don’t get arrested like we do. I actually talked to one on the translator app. He told me all the things he got going on; how they helped him get a car, an apartment, (EBT) card, all this stuff. They giving them thousands, we get maybe $400 a month. And they don’t even have Social Security numbers!"
Sources from local Chicago gangs told the New York Post that members of the Venezuelan gang are often heavily armed and have begun spilling into areas traditionally controlled by local gangs.
Local gang member Corey Rogers told the New York Post that Venezuelan gangsters will often be seen "showing the flag," a slang term for brandishing their firearms. He also showed the outlet text threads that featured local gang members threatening turf wars with the newcomer gangsters.
"What bothers me is that the Venezuelans are united," Rogers said. "The black gangs are too divided and they take each other down."

Have to wonder how the Latin Kings and other established Hispanic gangs will fall out. Doubt they'll welcome a bunch of "Train People" into their turf; on the other hand, very unlikely they'll team up with the black gangs they've been fighting for years. Could be a very interesting and confused AO. Think Syria/Iraq writ small.
How about catching them and hamstringing them and cutting off their trigger fingers,
I remember when TW was the very model of moderation and gentleness... If nothing else, the change should tell you how far things have degenerated...

Too bad the FBI is too busy chasing J6ers, Pro Lifers, and School Board moms to hack up organized crime in the US.

The Venezuelans are likely to bring a more spectacular level of cartel-style violence to the conflict, as well as a probable connection to the Cuban intelligence service (DGI) which has propped up Maduro's government for years now. A widespread, ground-level TdA base in Chicago and deeper penetration of the demokrat machine at the retail level there seems likely to then connect them directly into the mainstream demokrat party apparatchiks in DC.
[IsraelTimes] On heels of extremist terror attacks in the country, the anti-immigration party hopes to repeat its recent gains in Thuringia and Saxony, deliver ‘hard blow’ to Scholz’s SPD
Germans began casting ballots Sunday for a regional election in a formerly communist eastern state where the far-right AfD party is narrowly ahead in opinion polls.
The anti-immigration Alternative for Germany has long railed against Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s unpopular coalition government, which faces national elections in a year.
In the state election in Brandenburg, the AfD hopes to replicate the strong gains it made in the east three weeks ago, when it won a parliamentary vote in Thuringia and came a close second in Saxony.
A victory in Brandenburg, which surrounds the capital Berlin, would deliver another setback to Scholz’s Social Democrats ...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy,white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects... (SPD), the center-left party that has ruled the state since Germany’s reunification in 1990. Infighting in the government has seen Scholz’s approval ratings take a dive while his defense minister, fellow Social Democrat Boris Pistorius, often tops surveys as Germany’s most popular politician.
ISLAMIST ATTACKS
Around 2.2 million people aged over 16 are eligible to vote in Brandenburg. Polls will close at 1600 GMT.
The state takes in wealthy towns such as Potsdam, with its Prussian-era Sanssouci Palace, as well as thinly populated rural areas and industrial zones, one of which houses a Tesla plant.
Popular SPD state premier Dietmar Woidke has kept his distance during the campaign from his party colleague Scholz, even though the chancellor’s electoral district is Potsdam. But Woidke, in office for over a decade, has thrown down a challenge to voters by saying he will quit if the AfD wins.
However,
some people are alive only because it's illegal to kill them... the latest surveys give the AfD an edge, predicting it will win with 27-29 percent of the vote, even as the SPD has recently narrowed the gap and polled at 25-26 percent.
Even if it wins, the AfD is unlikely to govern because all other parties have ruled out entering into a coalition with it. But its rise has heaped political pressure on Scholz and his governing allies, the Greens and the liberal Free Democrats.
The decade-old AfD has stoked and capitalized on public fears about irregular migration after a string of recent krazed killer attacks with suspected Islamist motives. Germany was especially shocked by a knife rampage that killed three people and maimed eight in the western city of Solingen last month. Police arrested a Syrian asylum-seeker who allegedly claimed allegiance to the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... group and had evaded a deportation order.
LEFT-WING KINGMAKER?
A recent survey in Brandenburg found that immigration was the top concern for many voters.
"People are always talking about integration and saying that they are not satisfied with what is happening," one voter, Edeltraud Wendland, 82, told AFP on a Potsdam shopping street. "Of course, we have to help people, but we can’t take in too many of them."
The AfD, besides protesting against migrants colonists, Islam and multiculturalism, also questions climate change and holds pro-Russian positions on the Ukraine war.
This year has also seen the emergence of a second populist party, the left-wing Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW), which is polling at 13-14 percent in Brandenburg. Hailing from former East Germany, Wagenknecht is a veteran opposition politician and frequent TV talk show guest who quit the hard-left Die Linke party to form her own movement. She has described the BSW’s policies as "leftist-conservative" — a blend of economic policies that help workers and the poor and conservative cultural positions, including on limiting immigration.
As in Thuringia and Saxony, Wagenknecht’s party could gain a potential kingmaker role after the election, complicating the task for the other parties who oppose her pro-Russia and anti-NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A single organization with differing goals, equipment, language, doctrine, and structure.... stance.

"Sahra Wagenknecht was born in Jena on July 16, 1969, to an Iranian father and a German mother. During her school years, she was a member of the Freie Deutsche Jugend – FDJ (“Free German Youth”). In an interview, she explains that “the standard pre-military training for pupils in the GDR was extremely demanding: [that] she could no longer eat, which the authorities interpreted as a political hunger strike”, subsequently forbidding her to carry out her studies. ... Wagenknecht supported herself financially by giving private Russian lessons." (Tough pro-Marxist broad)

[NYPOST] Under Italia's conservative Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, the nation's level of illegal immigration has plunged 64% after she cracked down hard on smugglers and worked with Italia's neighbors to stop the flow, the country's foreign minister boasted.
Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said Sunday that her success shows that enforcing tough border policies is possible — it just takes hard work.
''It's not easy. We've worked hard to achieve this goal,'' Tajani told Maria Bartiromo on Fox News' ''Sunday Morning Futures.'' ''We are very happy for this. We are not against legal immigration, rather against illegal immigration.''
''We are working with an agreement with Tunisia, with Egypt, with Libya. We are working with the North African countries for reducing the boats coming —[and] fighting against the crime.''
[NYPOST] The rapper Macklemore told a crowd of Seattle concertgoers ''F— America,'' according to video of his recent ''Paleostine Will Live Forever'' performance shared on X.
''Straight up, say it. I'm not gonna stop you. I'm not gonna stop you,'' Macklemore said, appearing to reference chants from the crowd. ''Yeah, F— America,'' the Grammy-winning performer said, sending the crowd into cheers.
The video was shared on X by journalist Cam Higby. Macklemore, a 41-year-old rapper born Benjamin Hammond Haggerty in Kent, Washington, had advertised a ''Paleostine Will Live Forever Festival'' on his Facebook page.
He’s an awfully white-skinned, middle aged, multimillionaire with a wife and three kiddos. Dressing like a pimp no longer is enough to maintain his edgy street cred, even if he hates capitalists, too.
He said the proceeds of the event held at Seward Park Amphitheater would go to various groups, including the controversial agency known as the United Nations ...boodling on the grand scale... Relief and Works Agency for Paleostinian refugees (UNRWA).
Israeli officials have declared that UNRWA is strongly tied to Hamas ..the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,... 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. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with 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 oppression and disproportionate response... Strip. The U.N. itself announced in August that nine UNRWA staffers would be fired due to possible involvement in the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas terror attack on Israel.

[NYPOST] ''Real Time'' host Bill Maher had some harsh words for Vice President Kamala Harris It is time for us to do what we have been doing. And that time is every day , insisting she was ''full of s—'' when it comes to her Middle East policy.
She is, indeed, full of the smelly stuff, but better that she speak out so that the voters know what they they are choosing.
During Friday's panel discussion, Maher addressed what's widely believed to be Israel's stealth operation against Hezbollah in Leb ...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers... by detonating their pagers and walkie-talkies this week that led to dozens of terrorist operatives killed and hundreds more injured.
''Here's what Kamala Harris said this week about what we should do when the war is over: 'No reoccupation of 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 Hamas with 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 oppression and disproportionate response... ,' 'no changing of the territorial lines of Gaza' and an 'ability to have security in the region for all concerned in a way that we create stability.' I feel like if that's what you have to say, don't say anything. Just shut up,'' Maher reacted.
''I mean, everybody who talks about Israel these days is just so full of s—t.'' Maher said. '''I don't want children to die.' Duh. Who does? None of us want children to die. None of us want this war to go on, but it's not addressing what the problem is.''
He continued, ''The problem is that one side wants a two-state solution, or at least always did. It's a little more right-wing now, I'm talking about Israel, but that still has been their position.
Now Israel would like a two-state solution, but does not believe it possible when the other side are Hamas and the PLO.
One side never did and still doesn't. One side uses terrorism to get their goals. One side retaliates against terrorism. One side is accused of genocide, but doesn't do it. The other side actually would love to do it. People keep saying Israel has the right to defend itself, and then whatever Israel does, they object to it.''
[GEO.TV] Apparently referring to yesterday's Pakistain Tehrik-e-Insaf ...a political party in Pakistan. PTI was founded by former Pakistani cricket captain and philanthropist Imran Khan. The party's slogan is Justice, Humanity and Self Esteem, each of which is open to widely divergent interpretations.... (PTI) power show in Lahore — which the government called a dud — Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Sunday said "the people of Pakistain have rejected 'politics of anarchy' and prioritised improvements in economic policies."
A day earlier, the former ruling party held a public rally in Lahore, which came to an abrupt end after police stormed the stage, turning off the microphone and lights, forcing PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan and other party leaders to leave.
The police and district administration swung into action after the PTI rally exceeded the 6pm deadline specified in the no-objection certificate (NOC).
Even the first-tier leadership, including Omar Ayub, Asad Qaiser, and 'firebrand ...firebrands are noted more for audio volume and the quantity of spittle generated than for any actual logic in their arguments...

In a statement on the country's political and economic situation issued today, PM Shehbaz said that "the public wants relief from inflation, solutions to their problems, and economic development."
The prime minister, stressing the urgency of addressing the public's economic concerns, called for a shift in political priorities, arguing that, instead of focusing on rallies and gatherings, the immediate need is to improve the economic condition of the masses.
''We will hold rallies in 2028; but right now, it is time to work hard to fulfill the pledges made to the people.''
He linked the success of the country's economic recovery directly to political stability, warning that political chaos would disrupt efforts to provide relief to the public. ''Economic recovery is tied to political stability; political chaos means affecting the process of providing relief to the people,'' he said.

One would feel sorry for them if a) they had done anything to bring Hezbollah under control or b) Israel weren’t already so careful to target their efforts on just the bad guys and the bad guys’ stuff.
[GEO.TV] United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned on Sunday of the risk of transforming Lebanon into "another Gaza," as hostilities flare between Israel and Lebanese armed group Hezbollah.
Speaking to CNN ahead of the annual gathering of world leaders at the UN, Guterres cast doubt on the possibility of a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip between Israel and Hamas after eleven months of war.
Excellent. Reality has been recognized for possibly the first time at the United Nations.

Then the UN needs to step in and HALT the Terrorist activities originating out of those areas, demand the release of the terrorist held hostages, hold a War Crime Court for the genocidal terrorists.
Or shut the hell up and let the IDF eliminate the UN ignored terrorist threat.
Very good. It’ll keep the powerless talk shop busy while the putative grown-ups wheel and deal elsewhere.
[GEO.TV] Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif will be attending the upcoming 79th Session of the United Nations ...an organization which on balance has done more bad than good, with the good not done well and the bad done thoroughly... General Assembly (UNGA) wherein he will highlight Paleostine, Islamophobia ...the irrational fear that Moslems will act the way they usually do... and other issues during his address slated for September 27, the Foreign Office said in a statement on Sunday.
The premier, set to attend the UNGA session from September 23 to 27, will underscore the importance of addressing long-standing issues on the agenda of the UN Security Council (UNSC) such as Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir ...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there.... (IIOJK) and Paleostine.
The prime minister, a day earlier, reached London for a short tour from where he would depart for New York on Monday (tomorrow).
"Departing for New York to represent Pakistain at the 79th UN General Assembly. Looking forward to a busy week full of engagements. We will present Pakistain's perspective to the world," the PM said in a post on X.
Deputy PM and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar was also scheduled to travel to the US for the UNGA session, however, his trip was cancelled hours before PM Shehbaz left for London.
"In view of some important upcoming diplomatic engagements and the ongoing preparations for the 23rd meeting of the Council of the Heads of Governments of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation Deputy PM and FM [Ishaq] Dar will not proceed to New York for the 79th session of the UNGA," an FO spokesperson said.
Sources told The News that the decision for the cancellation of the foreign minister's trip to New York was taken on Friday afternoon in a meeting at the FO.
Expanding on PM Shehbaz's trip, the FO said that the premier will not only reaffirm Pakistain's commitment to multilateralism and support for the UN's role in fostering global peace, security, and prosperity but will also accentuate the importance of addressing the inequities in international economic relations and reforming the international financial architecture during his time in New York.
The premier will also highlight the country's priority to place people at the heart of the domestic and global development agenda.
He will express Islamabad's commitment as an incoming member of the UNSC for the year 2025-26, to work with all UN member states to uphold the UN Charter, preventing conflict, fostering peace, and promoting global prosperity, the FO added.
Furthermore, PM Shehbaz would urge the international community to take decisive measures in addressing climate change and countering the rising tide of Islamophobia.
Moreover, the premier will attend several high-level meetings on the sidelines of the UNGA Session including the "High-Level Meeting on Existential Threat posed by Sea-level Rise," and the UNSC's open debate on "Leadership for Peace".
The prime minister's schedule also includes bilateral meetings with several world leaders, including the UN secretary-general and UNGA president.

Anyone who believes, let alone listens to a Pakistani should have his head examined. As it is said of Muslims in general, if the lips are moving it's a lie. And in the Kuran that's protected speech.

[GP] Israeli Lawyer Assaf Shmuelevitz Infiltrates IDF During October 7th Attack: Shared Operational Information to Anti-Netanyahu Protest Movement and Likely with the US State Dept.
In addition to the details of the penetration, there’s this:
CONNECTIONS TO ‘ACHIM LENESHEK’ (BROTHERS IN ARMS)
The involvement of members of the Achim Leneshek (Brothers in Arms) an anti-Netayahu organization in this case adds another layer of intrigue. The indictment reveals that Shmuelevitz brought a former F16 pilot and a former officer, both affiliated with Achim Leneshek, into the base without proper authorization.
These individuals participated in meetings with senior officials, and their presence has fueled speculation that influential political figures are being protected.
Ayala Hasson’s investigative reports further revealed that these individuals, known for their opposition to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s judicial reforms, were potentially involved in the espionage plan.
Hasson pointed out that despite their involvement, no charges have been filed against them, suggesting a deeper political motive behind the cover-up. The Achim Leneshek group had been critical of Netanyahu’s government and had even stated that its members would refuse to serve in the IDF due to the judicial reform efforts.

Yes you are, my dear. And here is a nice chocolate pudding for you for saying so.
[GEO.TV] US President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. You're a lyin' dog-faced pony soldier... has stated that his administration is working to prevent the conflict in the Middle East from escalating. His remarks come amid escalating festivities between Israel and Leb ...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds.

The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers... ''We're going to do everything we can to keep the wider war from breaking out and we're still pushing hard,'' Biden told news hounds upon his return to the White House.
Israeli attacks in Lebanon have claimed the lives of at least 70 people over the past week. Since last October, the corpse count in Lebanon has exceeded 740, marking the most significant escalation between Israel and Hezbollah since the 2006 war.

We see were this is going Grom; the U.S. is positioning itself to blame Israel should Hezbollah seize some U.S. hostages (like the Iranian grab in 1979). Secondly, blame the U.S. citizens for not leaving in a timely manner.
[IsraelTimes] Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has ordered all members to stop using any type of communication devices after thousands of pagers and walkie-talkies used by its Hezbollah allies in Leb ...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds.

It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers... blew up in deadly attacks last week, two senior Iranian security officials tell Rooters.
One of the security officials says a large-scale operation is underway by the IRGC to inspect all devices, not just communication equipment. He says most of these devices were either homemade or imported from China and Russia.
Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... is concerned about infiltration by Israeli agents, including Iranians on Israel’s payroll, and a thorough investigation of personnel has already begun, targeting mid and high-ranking members of the IRGC, adds the official, who declined to be identified because of the sensitivity of the matter.
"This includes scrutiny of their bank accounts both in Iran and abroad, as well as their travel history and that of their families," the security official says.
Iran’s Foreign, Defense and Interior ministries were not immediately available to respond to the comments made by the security officials to Rooters.

"This includes scrutiny of their bank accounts both in Iran and abroad, as well as their travel history and that of their families," the security official says.

All choices have consequences. Hezbollah chose to stand by their Iranian paymaster and wage war against Israel in support of fellow catspaw Hamas. Think of it as learning experience — if y’all are smart enough to actually learn.
[IsraelTimes] strong>Health workers report harrowing scenes from operating rooms after massive attacks, while anti-Hezbollah camp raises voice against escalation, calling on Nasrallah to ‘climb down’
Leb ...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers... ’s private medical facilities, which house 85% of all hospital beds in the country, are at full capacity following last week’s attacks on communication devices held by Hezbollah members, Sleiman Haroun, president of Lebanon’s Syndicate of Private Hospitals, has said.
Haroun told the anti-Hezbollah news outlet "This is Beirut" during the weekend that hospitals would be unable to handle additional pressure for at least three weeks, as many of those injured require intensive care and multiple surgeries.
Are there any pagers or cell phones or internet-of-things devices — or batteries — in the hospitals? Just asking for a friend.
On Sunday, Israel’s Channel 12 news quoted unnamed foreign security sources as saying the attacks were deemed successful due to the high number of injuries they caused, which placed immense strain on Lebanon’s healthcare system, increasing domestic pressure on Hezbollah.
Israel has not taken responsibility for the attacks but is widely seen as being behind them.
Though the extent and gravity of the thousands of injuries sustained in the attacks remain unclear, the impact on Lebanon’s health system has been undeniable.
Haroun warned that if tensions on the Israel-Lebanon border escalate into a full-scale conflict, Lebanon’s hospitals would struggle to manage another influx of maimed.
He compared the current situation to the aftermath of the Beirut port explosion in 2020, which killed over 200 people and injured 7,000. However,
a poor excuse is better than no excuse at all... he said injuries from the recent attacks are generally far more severe, with most victims requiring hospitalization rather than just emergency room care.
Beirut’s Health Ministry has pledged to cover the costs of treating all the injured, promising to disburse funds from the $11 million allocated by the government to deal with the aftermath of the attacks. However,
a poor excuse is better than no excuse at all... the outlet pointed out that the cash-strapped government had made similar promises following the 2020 port explosion, but those medical bills remain unpaid.
Lebanese health workers are said to be grappling with the severe nature of many of the injuries, performing complex surgeries to restore faces and limbs. This is Beirut detailed harrowing scenes inside operating rooms, with medical professionals "reconstructing disfigured faces, saving eyes, restoring lips and noses, and repairing shredded skin and muscles."
"In some cases, the entire face was gone," said an unnamed eye specialist, while adding that "collateral victims" were often as gravely injured as the device owners.
Reports of shocking disfigurements have also been corroborated by Lebanese doctors interviewed by The New York Times
...which still proudly claims Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... , who described gruesome injuries: "Eyes blown out of their sockets. Faces torn to pieces by burning shards of plastic. Hands and fingers so mangled that doctors had no choice but to amputate them."
Frissons for everyone in the newsroom!
Pierre Mardelli, an eye doctor quoted by the newspaper, said he was forced to suture eye wounds without anesthesia. He said the blast seemed to have targeted the eyes of device owners, as pagers sent out error messages for long moments, which would encourage their owners to examine them, before they went kaboom!HEZBOLLAH UNDER PRESSURE
Since October 8, Hezbollah-led forces have attacked Israeli communities and military posts along the border on a near-daily basis, with the group saying it is doing so to support 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 Hamas with 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 oppression and disproportionate response... amid the war there.
On Thursday Hezbollah leader His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah ...The satrap of the Medes and the Persians in Leb...> said the week’s twin attacks on the organization’s devices "could be seen as a declaration of war," accusing Israel of using them to mask its failure to achieve a military breakthrough against the terror group.
Oh no, dear boy. Your first battery of rockets shot at northern Israel on October 8th was the declaration of war. This is just what it looks like when Israel wages war seriously.

Launched in 1982, the Shia Hezbollah has been supported by Iran since its inception. It is known that from 1993-2003 Iran delivered more that $100 million yearly in military hardware. In addition untold millions were spent on Hizbollah's Emdad charity. Over the last twenty years Iranian support continued until the presence of the Trump administration, which led to a drastic reduction of Iranian support. Present Iranian funding for Hizbollah definitely exceeds previous years but fore the moment is anyone's guess.

[GEO.TV] Hezbollah deputy secretary-general Naim Qassem ... the Grand Vizier of the Hezbullies... said that the group had entered a new phase of its battle with Israel which he described as an "open-ended battle of reckoning," in comments made on Sunday during a funeral for a top commander killed in an Israeli strike on Beirut's southern suburbs on Friday.
And no one blew up, for some reason. But he is right, you know: interesting times for the Hezbollahniks. The smart ones will learn something useful, the rest will be divided between lucky and dead.

Macron says France stands by Lebanon
All of France, or just Frenchmen whose wife is older than their mom?
#2
In the 1970s France gave up on Lebanon, which it had championed for nearly a millenium. The result was chaos and a Muslim take-over of what was once considered a Christian state. Macron's words mean nothing.

[Ynet] According to the Al-Hadath network in Saudi Arabia, Ibrahim Aqil, who was killed on Friday in Beirut along with the top commanders of Hezbollah's elite Radwan unit, will be replaced by his deputy - Ali Reda Abbas. Ali Mussa Daqduq, who previously established a Hezbollah-operated unit on the Syrian Golan Heights will act as his second in command. His son was killed there in an Israeli airstrike.
According to the Saudi outlet, Abbas who is known as Abu Hussein Barish will be named the new commander of the Radwan Force.
...Over the years Abbas held numerous military positions, was trained in Iran and was one of Hezbollah's notable operations officers in southern Lebanon.
Al-Daqduq, was accused of kidnapping and killing five American soldiers in Karbala, Iraq in 2007. He returned to Lebanon after being released from prison in 2012 after an Iraqi court acquitted him of involvement in those crimes.
Released not because he didn’t do it, perhaps, but because he has friends in high Iranian places.

"Abbas who is known as Abu Hussein Barish..." It is interesting that that the Al Qaeda founding in Khost, Afghanistan in August 1988 renamed its Sunni Muslim founders and leaders with the nom de guerre Abu (usually followed by a location or something of personal significance). It seems that the Shiite have followed this practice, proving once again thier position as junior grade Muslims.
