[IsraelTimes] Even after McGill and Concordia take measures to stem antisemitism on campus, protest groups continue to glorify terror a year after the Hamas massacre, putting local Jews on edge
Independent student groups formerly affiliated with Montreal’s McGill and Concordia universities have sparked outrage with a planned coordinated campus "flood" to mark the first anniversary of the October 7 terror onslaught in southern Israel, which Hamas ..the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,... dubbed the "Al-Aqsa Flood."
The event, promoted as a commemoration of "the historic breach of the colonial border wall and a year of Paleostinian resistance," encourages students to walk out of class and "flood" the campus in protest of what organizers call "a year of genocide." Promotional materials feature an image of Gazooks celebrating atop a stolen Israeli military vehicle on October 7 — a visual that many interpret as glorifying acts of terror.
For many Jewish students, this protest represents more than just a symbolic walkout; it is the culmination of a year of hostility and fear.
"It’s another way of dehumanizing us and celebrating our death," said Ora Bar, a recent Concordia graduate who has been active in pro-Israel advocacy. "If they let it happen, glorifying the killers, this shows the direction where Canada is going."
The upcoming protest is part of a broader pattern of pro-Hamas activism that has left many Jewish students saying they’ve faced a climate of antisemitism and intimidation over the past year.
Bar described the constant tension on campus since the events of October 7, 2023, when thousands of Hamas-led holy warriors stormed into southern Israel, brutally murdering 1,200 men, women and kiddies, and kidnapping 251 to 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 a rusty 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.
"We’ve seen a year of open celebration of violence," she said, recalling demonstrations in Montreal whose organizers distributed candy and glorified attacks on Israelis shortly after the massacre. "What’s happening now with this protest is just a continuation of the same dehumanizing behavior that’s been allowed to fester."
For many Jewish students, the lack of response from university leaders to earlier incidents, including campaigns by the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement — which has faced accusations of antisemitism — and the dissemination of lists of Jewish-owned businesses to boycott, has only deepened their sense of vulnerability and fear on campus.
According to a recent report by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), antisemitic incidents in the United States skyrocketed after October 7, with particularly disturbing trends emerging on college campuses.
Among the most alarming findings was a 434 percent increase in violent mostly peaceful antisemitic posts on social media platforms such as X and Telegram on the day of the attack. Additionally, protests across the US have featured explicit support for terrorist groups including Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Paleostine (PFLP), with demonstrators chanting slogans like "Long live the Intifada" and waving banners of convicted terrorists. Equally shocking, the widespread removal and vandalization of hostage posters — often targeting events that hosted survivors of the October 7 massacre — occurred at least 57 times across US college campuses in the year following the attack, signaling a disturbing trend of minimizing or denying Jewish suffering.
The planned walkout at McGill and Concordia underscores how anti-Israel protesters are staying a step ahead of university administrators and law enforcement. In July, a months-long encampment at McGill was dismantled by a private security firm. By the end of the summer, both McGill and Concordia universities had officially severed ties with their campus chapters of Students for Paleostine’s Honour and Resistance® (SPHR), the group behind the planned October 7 event.
Meanwhile,
...back at the pie fight, Bella grabbed the cocoanut cream... the Montreal-based Jewish community organization Federation CJA is also planning a "Student Unity Vigil" on McGill’s campus on October 7, "in remembrance of those we lost and in solidarity with the hostages still held."
More anti-Israel October 7 events are being planned at universities and cities across the US, with many of them drawing controversy for what critics see as the glorification of violence and terror. In New York City, several events were planned for the weekend of October 5 and on October 7 itself across the city, with one "NYC Student Walkout" highlighting "One year of the student intifada."
These events, like the ones at Montreal universities, are promoted as acts of solidarity with the Paleostinians but have been widely condemned by Jewish organizations as dangerous expressions of antisemitism. The growing prevalence of these events has fueled concerns about campus safety for Jewish students, prompting protests and counter-demonstrations at several institutions. Some schools, such as Tufts University, have reportedly sanctioned pro-Paleostinian student groups over planned October 7 protests.
"SPHR has no affiliation with McGill University and is using the McGill name on social platforms without authorization from the university," clarified McGill’s Media Relations Office. "The University officially notified Meta and Twitter/X that the group was using McGill’s name without permission and demanded that Meta and Twitter/X remove the McGill name from the account. Unfortunately, Meta and Twitter/X are still allowing the account to use McGill’s name without authorization." Neither SPHR McGill nor SPHR Concordia responded to requests for comment regarding the event or their involvement.
According to B’nai Brith Quebec regional director Hank Topas, campus protesters are increasingly employing creative strategies to circumvent university administrators and law enforcement. One tactic involves setting up "mini-encampments," where pro-Hamas or anti-Israel groups suddenly gather outside or inside classrooms, chanting slogans and disrupting lessons.
"They will show up, barge into a class or be outside a class making all kinds of noise and their usual hateful slogans," Topas said. These spontaneous demonstrations often last up to 20 minutes before security arrives, and by the time the police show up, "the class is over and everybody has disappeared," he added.
Topas emphasized that the intent is to harass Jewish students and others sympathetic to Israel, creating an atmosphere of intimidation without facing legal consequences.
The impact of campus protests is spilling over into the broader Montreal Jewish community, with nightly demonstrations near the Israeli consulate in Westmount.
"There are nightly demonstrations with the beating of drums, the loudspeakers, the entire nine yards," said Topas.
The protests, held near a residential area home to many Jewish seniors, have distressed the local community. Despite efforts by B’nai Brith and meetings with various levels of government, Topas expressed frustration that there is "almost a hands-off approach," particularly from Montreal Mayor Valerie Plante, who, he said, has failed to support the Jewish community.
While the police have tried to assist, their efforts have been limited, creating a growing sense of vulnerability among Montreal’s Jewish residents.
Not all Jewish students at McGill share the concerns raised by organizations like B’nai Brith. A self-identifying leftist Jewish student, speaking on condition of anonymity
... for fear of being murdered... , pushed back against what they called a "moral panic" around Jewish safety on campus.
"I don’t experience there to be much antisemitism at all," they said. The student also expressed discomfort with the increased security presence, stating, "McGill is hiring a ton of security, which I think makes a lot of people feel unsafe on campus. There is sort of a feeling of being pretty constantly surveilled."
Although they do not support the October 7 protest, explaining that they find it "not something that I feel comfortable supporting," they emphasized, "I don’t think it will make me feel unsafe."
Instead, the student said, "I support disruptive protest," but believes that the current discourse is unnecessarily inflaming tensions.
[IsraelTimes] Military says 17,000 terror operatives killed in Gaza, at least 800 in Lebanon; 4,700 tunnel shafts found in Strip; 11,000 Hezbollah positions hit
As the country marked one year since the onset of the war on October 7, 2023, the Israel Defense Forces on Monday published new data on its operations 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 a rusty 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 West Bank, and Leb ...an Iranian satrapy until recently 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... , from the number of rockets fired at Israel to the number of sites struck by the Israeli Air Force.
HAMAS NUMBERS:
According to the data, some 17,000 Hamas ..always the voice of sweet reason... operatives and members of other terror groups have been killed by the IDF in the Gaza Strip since the beginning of the war,
…a number that has not been increased for months, which makes no sense…
in addition to some 1,000 forces of Evil inside Israel on October 7, when button men rampaged through southern communities massacring some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and abducting 251 to Gaza.
Israel responded with a military campaign to topple the Hamas regime in the Gaza Strip, destroy the terror group, and free the hostages.
The Hamas-run health ministry has said over 41,000 Paleostinians have been killed in Gaza, though the figure cannot be independently verified and is believed to include both civilians and Hamas members killed in Gaza.
When pushed they amend that to 41,000 killed or are presumed dead, though they still provide no basis for the assumption.
The IDF’s data said that the military has killed eight Hamas brigade commanders and those of an equivalent rank, as well as more than 30 battalion commanders. More than 165 Hamas company commanders and operatives with a similar rank have also been killed, according to the data.
Some 40,300 targets have been struck in the Gaza Strip since the beginning of the war, and troops have located some 4,700 tunnel shafts, the IDF said.
The size of the investment that now has to be written off because the underlying assets are depreciated to zero! But the investors insisted on putting their capital in a low-probability vanity project…
The day after the Hamas assault, Lebanon-based terror group Hezbollah began attacks along Israel’s northern border, saying it was acting in support of Gaza. That fighting steadily escalated over the months, until boiling over last month after Israel began a new offensive against the terror group by killing its entire top leadership and launching a ground operation in southern Lebanon.
HEZBOLLAH NUMBERS:
In Lebanon, the IDF said it has killed more than 800 terror operatives, mostly members of the Iran-backed Hezbollah. The number included 90 Hezbollah commanders, according to the IDF.
According to the IDF’s data, nearly 11,000 Hezbollah positions have been struck by the military.
Not mentioned is miles of tunnels destroyed, but it’s still early days.
NUMBERS FOR THE GROUP PROJECT — IRAN AND ITS CATSPAWS TOGETHER:
Since the beginning of the war, over 26,000 rockets, missiles, and drones have been launched at Israel from multiple fronts.
The numbers included 13,200 projectiles fired from Gaza — at least 5,000 on October 7 alone — 12,400 from Lebanon, around 60 from Syria, 180 from 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... , and 400 from 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... — the latter of which in two direct attacks on Israel on April 13 and October 1.
The IDF did not detail how many drones and missiles had been launched from Iraq at Israel amid the war.
The figures did not include rockets — said by Israel to be at least in the hundreds — launched by Gazook terror groups that misfired and landed in the Strip,
…historically a quarter to a third come straight down on their neighbours within Gaza…
as well as those launched by Hezbollah that landed short in Lebanon.
ISRAEL NUMBERS
The IDF said the Military Intelligence Directorate’s Unit 504 has interrogated some 7,000 Paleostinian suspects in the Gaza Strip, many of whom were arrested and brought to Israel for further questioning. Many have also been returned to Gaza after questioning.
A total of 728 soldiers, reservists, and local security officers have been killed and another 4,576 have been maimed in the war since October 7 — the latest on Sunday. Of them, 346 were killed and 2,299 were maimed during the ground offensive in Gaza.
The IDF also lists 56 soldiers killed due to friendly fire in Gaza and other military-related accidents.
WEST BANK NUMBERS:
Since October 7, in the West Bank, the IDF said troops have arrested more than 5,250 wanted Paleostinians, including more than 2,050 affiliated with Hamas. Additionally, some 690 button men, rioters who clashed with troops, or forces of Evil carrying out attacks have been killed by troops in the West Bank, the IDF said.
The IDF said 150 brigade-level raids have been carried out in the West Bank, and 30 homes of Paleostinians accused of terrorism have been demolished.
[IsraelTimes] Military presents weeklong exhibition of motorcycles, pick-up trucks, RPGs, anti-tank missiles, and other combat material seized from Hamas on October 7 and in Gaza
The Israel Defense Forces on Sunday presented a display of weapons, ammunition, and vehicles used by Hamas during its October 7 attack last year and throughout the subsequent war in Gaza, that will be open this week for visits by foreign journalists, representatives of international research organizations, and diplomats.
The display includes vehicles and equipment used by some of the thousands of Hamas-led terrorists who invaded southern Israel that day, including pickup trucks, motorcycles, tractors, uniforms and intelligence materials, the IDF said in a statement.
The display also includes weapons such as anti-tank missiles, RPGs, rockets, explosive devices, and drones that were collected over the course of the yearlong campaign against the terror group following the attack, the IDF said.
The display has existed in some form or another for many months, but has been presented anew this week, and is expected to receive diplomats, think-tank representatives, and journalists, on the first anniversary of the Hamas attack last year that started the ongoing war.
It is a project of the Technological and Logistics Directorate’s Enemy Assets Confiscation Unit, the military said. The unit is mostly composed of reservists, and is charged with locating, documenting, and collecting weapons and other enemy material from combat zones.
Since the start of the war, the unit has confiscated approximately 70,000 items of enemy equipment, including around 1,250 anti-tank missiles and RPGs, as well as about 4,500 explosive devices, according to the IDF.
[IsraelTimes] Netanyahu convenes what is reportedly the first discussion in full month on the hostages, half of whom are thought to be alive, as Israel marks one year since their abduction
Israeli security officials warned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday that there has been a steady decline in the amount of intelligence being gathered on the 101 people still held captive in Gaza, but that it is nevertheless clear the conditions in which they are held have deteriorated significantly.
Yahya Sinwar is uninterested in negotiating, because he sees his only hope for not being assassinated in being surrounded by the hostages. Thus Israel’s only hope for negotiations is to take Mr. Sinwar’s existence off the table, hopefully in the process rescuing some or all of the hostages. But if not, it must be remembered that the hostages would not be in danger were it not for Hamas, and according to the Geneva Conventions — that is to say international law - and no doubt also according to Jewish law, were those idiots to actually look at the rabbis’ accumulated discussions on the subject over the centuries, Hamas is wholly responsible for everything bad that happens to them. No matter how good it might feel to the noisy anti-Bibi h8ters to blame him for everything they dislike about the universe.
The information was relayed to Netanyahu during a discussion on the plight of the hostages on the eve of the first anniversary of the October 7 Hamas terror onslaught in southern Israel, when some 1,200 people were slaughtered and 251 were seized as hostages.
“The more time that passes, there’s less and less intelligence on the hostages, and that’s very worrying,” a defense official was quoted by the Ynet news site as saying during the meeting, reportedly the first high-level engagement on the issue of the hostages in a month.
“There’s an impression that nobody is dealing with this, not the mediators, and everyone has given up,” a source with knowledge on the matter told the news outlet. “There’s a feeling that it’s fallen off the agenda given the fears of regional war.”
The discussion was attended by heads of security agencies, several government ministers and the government’s hostage point man Gal Hirsch.
During the meeting, security officials reiterated the grim estimation first shared last month that around half of the hostages are still alive, but that those who have survived until now are experiencing steadily worsening conditions.
Defense officials also warned Netanyahu and others at the meeting that Hamas has ordered those guarding hostages to execute them if they feel the army is getting close, Ynet reported, citing an unnamed source familiar with the details of the meeting.
Yes, we know.
Hamas first indicated that it had ordered its operatives to murder hostages if Israeli troops appeared to be closing in when the terror group executed six hostages in a tunnel in Rafah in late August, just days before troops operating in the area discovered their bodies and extracted them for burial in Israel.
Participants in the meeting were also provided with an update regarding the progress — or lack thereof — in indirect hostage deal negotiations between Israel and Hamas.
Hamas still won’t negotiate. No news is no news.
Sources privy to the details of the discussion reported that negotiations have remained at an impasse, with intermediary country Qatar reportedly distancing itself from Israel’s stance and moving closer to Hamas’s stated demands for a deal.
All Muslim Brotherhooders together.
Meanwhile, the sources said, the US “just wants to avoid an escalation, and lives in a fantasy that we can reach an agreement with Iran about everything, [Hezbollah in Lebanon,] and Gaza, and settle it together. They live in a delusion.”
The President is senile, the Vice President is a lush — where else could they live?
Israel is hoping that the limited ground operation it launched in southern Lebanon will shift the paradigm when it comes to the hostage negotiations, Ynet added, and that Hamas will feel the pressure being placed on its ally Hezbollah.
But if not, at least Israel will continue making giant strides toward breaking all Hezbollah’s things and killing many more of its people, just like they’ve done to Hamas.
Hamas, meanwhile, issued a statement on Sunday, declaring that the group was not prepared to make concessions on its demands for a hostage release-ceasefire deal, which include a call for the complete withdrawal of Israeli troops from the Gaza Strip — something that Israel has said it is not prepared to do.
See? Lack of progress is not Israel’s fault.
In a speech aired on Hamas’s media channels, senior Hamas official Khalil Al-Hayya reiterated the terror group’s opposition to the hostage deal proposal endorsed by Israel.
“What we rejected yesterday, we will not accept tomorrow, and what the occupation (Israel) failed to impose by force, it will not take at the negotiating table,” he vowed in an address littered with praise for the October 7 massacre.
Screw the negotiating table — force is clearly the way to go.
Lauding the invasion and assault of Israel’s southern communities as “glorious,” Al-Hayya claimed that “the Palestine cause has become the prime cause in the world and all parties now realize that there can be no security and no stability in the region unless our people gain their full rights.”
Oh, you sweet summer child…
According to the Hamas-controlled Gaza health ministry, the war in Gaza — sparked by the October 7 massacre — has claimed the lives of more than 40,000 people. The toll cannot be verified, however, and does not differentiate between civilians and fighters. Israel says it has killed some 17,000 combatants in battle as of August and another 1,000 terrorists inside Israel on October 7.
Israel has said it seeks to minimize civilian fatalities and stresses that Hamas uses Gaza’s civilians as human shields, fighting from civilian areas including homes, hospitals, schools, and mosques.
Al-Hayya’s speech was aired as Israel launched a new ground operation in the northern Gaza city of Jabaliya, targeting efforts by Hamas to reestablish itself in northern Gaza. Several dozen terror operatives were killed in airstrikes and tank shelling, according to the IDF.
“The operation will continue as long as necessary, while systematically striking and thoroughly destroying the terror infrastructure in the area,” the IDF said of the operation.
Prior to the cabinet meeting on Sunday night, family members of hostages told Defense Minister Yoav Gallant that they feared the renewed offensive was endangering their loved ones, according to a statement by the Hostages and Missing Families Forum.
“Military pressure kills hostages,” the family members reportedly told Gallant, alluding to a frequent government slogan that only military pressure will bring about the hostages’ return.
No. Hamas kills hostages, both when there is military pressure and when there is not. Otherwise at least a third of the hostages would not already be dead. Incidentally, Hezbollah also kills hostages, and they were planning to acquire their own 10/7 collection when the IDF starting doing to them what they’ve been doing to Gaza for the past year. Y’all should be grateful you don’t have a great many more hostages to make parades about.
It is believed that 97 of the 251 hostages abducted by Hamas on October 7 remain in Gaza, including the bodies of at least 33 confirmed dead by the IDF.
[IsraelTimes] Army assesses projectiles could be fired at central Israel as nation marks 1 year since Hamas attack; IDF bolsters defenses on Gaza border, deploys troops to surrounding towns.
The IDF said Sunday it has bolstered forces on 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 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... border as it anticipates possible long-range rocket fire or other attacks from the Strip on the anniversary of the October 7 massacre.
Monday marks one year since the October 7, 2023, terror onslaught, in which Hamas ..always the voice of sweet reason... -led turbans murdered some 1,200 people and took 251 hostages to Gaza.
Military sources said that while Hamas has been largely dismantled as a military organization, its operatives can still carry out rocket attacks.
The IDF anticipates Hamas attacks on the first anniversary of the onslaught and assessed that such attacks from Gaza could include rocket fire, possibly even at central Israel.
The military said it was therefore bolstering defenses both along the Gaza border and in the Netzarim Corridor area in the Strip’s center, where the IDF maintains a presence.
"The Southern Command is prepared in defense and attack for several scenarios during the coming month, along with allowing memorial events in the [Gaza border communities] to be carried out safely," the IDF said in a statement.
The military said several companies were being deployed to defend the Israeli border towns, and that it would coordinate with police and medical services in the event of attacks.
"We are on heightened alert for the coming days. At a high level of readiness... with offensive actions," the chief of the Southern Command, Maj. Gen. Yaron Finkelman, told officers in a video distributed by the IDF.
On Saturday night, IDF front man Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari warned at a televised briefing that Israeli civilians could be targeted.
"We are prepared with increased forces in anticipation for this day," when there could be "attacks on the home front," he said.
Organizers of an unofficial commemoration marking a year since Hamas’s October 7 massacre said Saturday it will be held with a limited crowd made up of families of the victims, due to IDF Home Front Command restrictions that prevent large gatherings.
The commemoration, which was organized by the families of those killed and kidnapped, is set to be held at Tel Aviv’s Yarkon Park at 7 p.m. on Monday.
Currently, the IDF Home Front Command limits gatherings to up to 2,000 people in Tel Aviv due to the ongoing threat of rocket attacks from Hezbollah in Leb ...an Iranian satrapy until recently 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... as well as from Hamas.
The ceremony will be broadcast on Israeli television stations and dozens of foreign broadcast networks. Dozens of cities in Israel and around the world will also host screenings of the event.
In addition to those murdered on October 7, hundreds more Israelis have been killed in the war sparked by the massacre, taking the toll to over 1,600.
It is believed that 97 of the 251 hostages kidnapped by Hamas on October 7 remain in Gaza, including the bodies of at least 33 confirmed dead by the IDF. Hamas is also holding two Israeli civilians who entered the Strip in 2014 and 2015, as well as the bodies of two IDF soldiers who were killed in 2014.

Five minutes ago. IMO, just goes to show that 40000 of the beasts are NOT enough.

That would be the ceasefire agreement that Yahya Sinwar refuses to discuss as he waits for Allah’s designated actor to magically destroy the IDF? He’s getting his wish not to be hassled about it, so I don’t see why his cheerleaders are complaining.
[IsraelTimes] Around 1,000 flights a day suffer GPS interference as they pass near Israel or Ukraine, experts tell UK’s Times; in some cases, errors continue even after planes leave region
Electronic countermeasures by participants in Israel’s battle against Hezbollah and other Iran-backed proxies, as well as Russia and Ukraine, are throwing off the navigation systems of tens of thousands of flights every month, the UK’s Times newspaper reported Saturday.
Specifically, the activities are impacting the Global Positioning System used by pilots to determine where they are by receiving signals from satellites.
Known as spoofing, the GPS jamming is used to confuse enemy missiles or drones, making it difficult for attackers to hit key targets accurately. However, the practice also scrambles signals that direct aircraft navigation instruments, making it difficult for them to determine their exact locations.
The spoofing is interfering not just with flights to and from Israel and areas around Ukraine, but also with planes that fly past those regions heading for other destinations.
According to the report, about 1,000 planes a day have their navigation systems interrupted as they fly near Israel and Ukraine, which is battling against a Russian invasion that started in 2022.
Since the spring, there has been a sixfold increase in GPS spoofing, it said.
Back they go to the loving embrace of their unwanted Taliban masters — Sunnis, Hazera Shiites, and moderns all together. May God watch over their souls because the Taliban most assuredly will not. Nor is there any point in looking to the National Resistance Front (NRF) of Afghanistan and the Afghanistan Freedom Front (AFF), both of which appear to be vanity projects rather than the genuine guerrilla forces they were a generation ago.
[KhaamaPress] Valiollah Bayati, spokesperson for the Iranian Parliament’s Internal Affairs Committee, stated that the proposed plan for organizing foreign nationals does not provide for permanent residency for migrants colonists in Iran.
Iranian media reported on Saturday that the Internal Affairs Committee of the Iranian Parliament is reviewing the plan for managing foreign nationals and the charter of the National Immigration Organization.
According to tfhe report, the plan only includes three types of temporary residency permits: one-year, three-year, and possibly seven-year permits.
The spokesperson emphasized that various government agencies are reviewing the plan, and more than 20 provisions have already been approved.
Bayati clarified, "According to this plan, migrants colonists entering the country will be given a card after an iris scan. This card will provide all necessary services for the individual. It cannot be forged, and the migrant must carry it until they leave the country."
He added, "We do not intend for migrants colonists in the country to stay long-term, and under this plan, there will no longer be permanent residency for foreign nationals in Iran."
Previously, Iranian officials have emphasized the deportation of "illegal" migrants colonists, particularly Afghan citizens, from the country.
Recently, Ahmad Reza Radan, the commander of Iran’s law enforcement, announced that by the end of this solar year, 2 million Afghan migrants colonists will be expelled from Iran.
He stressed that the deportation of Afghan migrants colonists from 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 ongoing.
This new plan underscores Iran’s strict stance on migration, particularly towards Afghan nationals, as the country continues to tighten its immigration policies. With millions of Afghan refugees already facing expulsion, concerns grow over the humanitarian impact of these policies.

The Afghans have made it clear in word and deed that they not only don't want any liberation of Afghanistan but also that they don't recognize the territorial sovereignty of Western nations including the US and indeed want to subjugate the West in the name of Islam.

[IsraelTimes] Israel is obstructing search and rescue efforts in an area where senior Hezbollah leader Hashem Safieddine is thought to have been when Israel bombed Beirut’s southern suburbs on Thursday, a Hezbollah official says.
Safieddine is seen as a likely successor to former terror leader His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah ...The late, lamented satrap of the Medes and the Persians in Leb...> who was killed in an Israeli strike on Beirut’s southern suburbs, known as Dahiyeh, on September 27.
His fate remains unclear.
The senior Hezbollah political official, Mahmoud Qmati, also says he had no information on reports that the leader of Iran’s elite Quds Force Esmail Qaani has not been heard from since the strikes on Beirut late last week.
Israel should "let rescue teams do their work," he tells Iraqi state television ... and if you can't believe state television who can you believe?Qmati says Hezbollah is now being jointly led until it could pick a new leader, which would take time.
"What’s important is that joint command is in place," he says.
"The method of choosing a replacement for the secretary-general takes time and requires appropriate circumstances, and for that reason we suffice today with temporary joint command," he says.
Qmati says Nasrallah’s body remains in Lebanon and he will be laid to rest in Beirut’s southern suburbs, where Hezbollah holds heavy influence, when conditions allow.
Previous reports have suggested that Hezbollah fears a large funeral for Nasrallah could become a target for Israeli warplanes.
[GEO.TV] Iran's supreme leader has decorated the Revolutionary Guards aerospace commander for the Islamic republic's missile attacks on arch-foe Israel, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei ...the very aged actual dictator of Iran, successor to Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini...> 's website said on Sunday.
"Ayatollah Khamenei presented the Order of Fath ("Conquest" in Farsi) to General Amirali Hajizadeh, commander of the Guards Aerospace Force," it said.
The decoration was bestowed because of "the brilliant 'Honest Promise' operation", the website said.
Iran’s rocket barrage, the second such attack this year, came during the war against terror groups Hamas in the Gaza Strip and Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Despite its limited success, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei decorated the Revolutionary Guard’s aerospace commander, the ayatollah’s website said on Sunday.
“Ayatollah Khamenei presented the Order of Fath to General Amirali Hajizadeh, commander of the Guards Aerospace Force,” it said. “Fath” is Farsi for “courage.”
Hajizadeh, 62, has headed the Guard’s aerospace unit since its creation in 2009.
Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said Sunday that last week’s Iranian ballistic missile attack “didn’t even scratch” the Israeli Air Force’s capabilities, and vowed that Israel would not be deterred from responding to such attacks by its enemies.
