Arabia
You are not welcome here, Qatar tells Hamas
[Jpost] Sources told KAN that this development has been underway in recent days, allegedly due to US pressure.
Not American pressure, or it would have happened any time in the last almost-four years. President-elect Trump pressure.
Qatar has reportedly clarified to the terrorist group Hamas, "You are not welcome here," KAN reported on Friday, citing a source familiar with the matter.

This development has reportedly been underway in recent days, three sources told KAN.
Since Wednesday, yes?
One source told KAN that this is due to pressure from the US.

According to the report, Qatar had previously explained that Hamas's leadership in the country was meant to facilitate dialogue during hostage negotiation efforts.
How does one facilitate “First surrender, O dhimmi, then we’ll talk”?

Sayyed Houthi: Neither Trump, Nor Any World Criminal Can Prevent Yemenis from Supporting Palestinian People
I suspect the US Navy will be getting new orders in January, so lets readdress this question then, Mkay?
[ENGLISH.ALMANAR.COM.LB] Head of 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...
's Ansarullah Movement Sayyed
...Arabic term meaning your/his lordship. Groveling in His Exalted Presence is encouraged...
Abdul Malik Badreddine al-Iran's Houthi sock puppets
...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him...
stressed Thursday that the Yemeni attacks on the US-UK-Zionist vessels in addition to the Israeli targets in Occupied Paleostine would continue despite the attempts to disguise the possession of the ships.

In a televised speech, Sayyed Houthi underscored that this decision is resolute regardless of the results of the US elections, adding that some Arab regimes are raising their people fears of the US President-elect Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and whatever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
.

''We, in Yemen, had an experience with Trump, and he failed to impose his terms on Iran, Syria, Iraq, 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...
and Paleostine. Trump only managed to reap billions of dollars from the rich Arab states.''

All the US presidents have just served the Israeli interests, recalling the failure of the ''deal of the century''.

Yemen insists on supporting the Paleostinian people regardless of any military escalation against it, Houthi said, adding that the best choice for the US administration is to end the Zionist wars on Lebanon and 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...
, while aggression and sedition are futile.

Sayyed Houthi also underlined the crisis plaguing the Zionist entity manifested by the economic deterioration, dismissal of the defense minister, and the military recruitment after the loss of thousands of soldiers and officers in the battles.

Houthi highlighted Hezbollah's remarkable support for Gaza, adding that the Israelis were surprised by Hezbollah great capabilities in the ground battle.

The Yemeni leader reiterated that the former Secretary General of Hezbollah Martyr Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah is a rare and historical figure, adding that, on His Arbaeen, the Islamic Resistance® carried out a major operation against Tel Aviv.

Houthi also stressed that the operations carried out by the Iraqi resistance groups would continue despite all the media and political pressure aimed at stopping them.

Europe
Switzerland 🇨🇭 has banned the Burqa and will not allow Muslim women from covering their faces in public

#1  I do not like things like this. It is anti-free expression

The problem is not the clothing

The problem is that islamism is incompatible with western civilisation

These women need to be deported before they drop a litter that cannot be deported

These people should only ever be allowed in on 2-week holiday visas if even that. And deported if any remain on day 15.

#2  The clothing is also a problem, anon1. Smash’n’grab regularly hit up jewelry stores and such — the miscreants can’t be identified because they’re dressed as Moving Black Objects with niqabs covering their faces.

What’s the difference between hijab,niqab, and burqa?

When in Rome, you see. Western culture demands allowing people to see your face for purposes of identification and communication. If they don’t like that, let them live where the culture is agreeable to turning women into anonymous, silent objects. After all, we don’t allow men to go around with hidden faces, either, lest we get a return of malicious groups like the Ku Klux Klan.

#5  Mohammad's admonition is not to show the hair (See also - Catholic nuns, Amish and Mennonite women). It has nothing about the face. That is all cultural not religious.

#6  What is the difference between a burka and a chador?
Posted by: Deacon Blues || 11/08/2024 10:40 Comments || Top||

#7  From my link at #2, Deacon Blues:

The burka is the most concealing of all Islamic veils. It is a one-piece veil that covers the face and body, often leaving just a mesh screen to see through.

The chador, worn by many Iranian women when outside the house, is a full-body cloak. It is often accompanied by a smaller headscarf underneath.


The burka is generally made of medium blue polyester and worn by Afghan women. The chador leaves the entire face uncovered and is pinned under the chin.

#9  Thanks TW i have to respectfully disagree
When government gets in the habit of dictating what we can wear then we all lose. Next minute it is compulsory masks for covid

The problem is muslim migration

The answer is shut the borders and deport all that can be deported, encourage the others to emigrate and rescind their citizenship voluntarily

All banning the burka does is to TRICK you into thinking the govt is on your side all while FAILING to do what is really needed.

All it does is enable the colonisation to continue

Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Hezbollah's Sheikh Qassem Grimaces Fearsomely: 'Israel' Will Scream, We Bet on Battlefield Rather than Political Action
[ENGLISH.ALMANAR.COM.LB] Hezbollah Secretary Sheikh Naim Qassem
... the Grand Vizier of the Hezbullies...
warned that the Israeli enemy will scream due to the Lebanese resistance strikes, stressing that the battlefield, not political action, will end the war.

In a televised speech via al-Manar, the second since his election as a secretary general, Sheikh Qassem vowed that Hezbollah will emerge victorious in the end of the war, noting that there is no place across the Zionist entity that Hezbollah can't reach.

He affirmed that the basis of any negotiation is to stop the aggression and to fully protect the Lebanese illusory sovereignty.

Sheikh Qassem said that 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...
face a brutal war for more than 40 days, noting that Hezbollah is now engaged in a defensive war.

His eminence stated that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's plan was to end Hezbollah, invade Lebanon and change the Middle East, stressing that the resistance has foiled the Israeli premier's schemes.
