Now do one for the states that compares the exploitation of their labor as nothing but modern slavery, backed by the people who defended the old system, and pointing out the employers use politicians to cover their costs of housing, feeding and housing upon the backs of taxpayers.
They called you Hitler and a fascist and your followers racist and Nazis. Alinsky them.
[SUDANTRIBUNE] Sudan ...a Moslem country located in the Horn of Africa. It is noted for its affinity for rule by ex- or current generals, its holy men, and for the oppression of the native Afro population by its Arab conquerors. South Sudan, populated mostly by the natives, split off from Sudan proper, which left North and South Darfur to be oppressed by the guys with turbans... 's military-led government on Wednesday announced amendments to the Transitional Constitutional Declaration, as the head of the ruling Sovereign Council, General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, signalled to a Western diplomat his desire to appoint an independent prime minister.
The amendments follow a request by the Sovereign Council for political forces and gangs supporting the military to submit proposals to revise the 2019 transitional charter. These proposals included removing clauses related to the Forces for Freedom and Change (FFC), the former ruling coalition, and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
''The Sovereign Council and the Council of Ministers, in a joint meeting, approved the 2019 Transitional Constitutional Declaration, as amended in 2025, which is now in effect for the transitional period,'' said government spokesperson and Minister of Information Khalid Aleisir in a press statement.
The spokesperson did not provide details of the amendments made to the document, which was initially agreed upon between the military and civilian forces that led the protests against the regime of ousted President Omer al-Bashir in 2019.
Burhan dissolved the civilian transitional government in October 2021, a move widely condemned as a military coup.
Earlier, sources told Sudan Tribune that the amendments to the constitutional declaration would grant al-Burhan broad powers to appoint and dismiss the prime minister and increase the number of Sovereign Council members.
According to the sources, the proposed amendments stipulate that the total number of Sovereign Council members would be nine, three representing the parties to the Juba Peace Agreement and six appointed by al-Burhan.

And where would this quasi-government meet? Port Sudan?
[IsraelTimes] Yemeni Information Minister Moammar al-Eryani calls for the arrest of a group of leaders from Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis who he says will attend Lebanese Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah’s funeral in Beirut.
Nasrallah, who had served as the Lebanese terror group’s secretary general for more than 30 years, was killed on September 27 as Israel ramped up its attacks. His funeral is scheduled for February 23.
Eryani demands that the Lebanese government arrest the Houthi leaders and hand them over to the rival internationally recognized government in a post on X.
He does not name the Houthi officials.
Neither the Lebanese government nor Houthi leaders are immediately available for comment.
The Houthis have not officially announced a delegation will attend the funeral, but the Houthi-run Al-Masirah TV has reported a delegation from Yemen will participate.
“We affirm that the movement of these terrorist leaders… in this timing is not a mere participation in the funeral, which is being used as a cover, to gather all the leaders of the Iranian axis and assess the situation after the blows they received,” he adds.
Gee, what have we seen in recent decades that would lead the native Briton to loathe and despise their Moslem colonists?
[IsraelTimes] The number of anti-Muslim incidents in Britain rose to a new high in 2024, according to data compiled by monitoring organization Tell MAMA, which says the war against the Hamas terror group in Gaza “super-fueled” online hate.
The surge in hate incidents against Muslims due to Islamophobia has also been linked to the killing of three young girls in the northern English town of Southport last summer, Tell MAMA says.
Tell MAMA says it verified 5,837 anti-Muslim hate cases — a mix of both online and in-person incidents — last year, compared with 3,767 cases the year before and 2,201 in 2022.
The organization’s data goes back to 2012 and is compiled using data-sharing agreements with police forces in England and Wales.
“The Middle East conflict super-fueled online anti-Muslim hate,” the group says in a statement, adding that “the Israel and Gaza War, the Southport murders and riots… created a surge in anti-Muslim hate cases reported to Tell MAMA from 2023-2024.”
Its director Iman Atta describes the surge as unacceptable and deeply concerning for the future.
Tell MAMA (Measuring Anti-Muslim Attacks) describes itself as an independent, nongovernmental organization that works on tackling anti-Muslim hatred.
Separate data last week showed that hatred toward Jews across Britain also rocketed to record levels in the wake of the October 7, 2023, attacks by Hamas on Israel and the subsequent war in Gaza.
[KhaamaPress] Friedrich Merz, one of the leading candidates for the chancellorship in Germany, has announced that if he wins, he will stop the program for accepting and relocating at-risk Afghans, including former local staff and their families.
Is this just something he must say to beat out AfD and get elected, or will he really follow through?
He further added that he would implement the deportation of rejected asylum seekers back to Afghanistan. Merz emphasized that this would be one of his first actions upon assuming power.
Polls indicate that Merz, the Christian Democratic Union candidate, has a higher chance of becoming Germany’s next chancellor in the parliamentary elections, set to take place in just three days (February 23).
Merz made these statements during a campaign event in Halle, stating that if Germany is providing 300 million euros in aid to Afghanistan annually, it should expect the Taliban ...the once and current oppressors of Afghanistan... to take back individuals who Germany no longer wants.
The absence of formal recognition of the Taliban by the international community and the lack of official relations with the group makes deporting Afghans from Germany and other European countries to Afghanistan difficult. Deporting Afghan criminals or those whose asylum applications have been rejected requires establishing communication with the Taliban-led government.
In the most recent incident, a 24-year-old Afghan asylum seeker drove a car into a crowd in Munich, killing a mother and her child and injuring more than 30 others. In response to such attacks, German officials, including the Chancellor and Interior Minister, have emphasized the importance of deporting Afghan criminals back to Afghanistan.
Merz’s proposed policies on Afghan refugees could lead to significant changes for those seeking asylum in Germany. This shift is likely to disappoint many Afghans who still hope for a future in Germany, as it may curtail their opportunities to seek refuge in the country.

It will be interesting to see if the muslim invasions survive USAID budget cuts. The amount of evil in the world is proportional to the amount of USAID in the world. And I think a reduction in resettlement is built-in to the current state of affairs.
[IsraelTimes] Conscripts had reportedly posted images from their time in Gaza war online as well as trip abroad, which were then used by anti-Israel group to track them down
Conscripts had reportedly posted images from their time in 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... war online as well as trip abroad, which were then used by anti-Israel group to track them down
Two IDF conscripts vacationing in Amsterdam were rushed back to Israel after pro-Paleostinian groups got wind of their trip and were mobilizing to have arrest warrants issued for the pair.
According to Hebrew media reports Tuesday, it is the first time that conscripts have faced such a situation. Previous instances involved IDF reservists.
The two soldiers had posted photos on their social media accounts from their service in northern Gaza during the war, with some of the photos showing blindfolded Paleostinian suspects.
The two soldiers also posted that they were heading to Amsterdam along with pictures from their trip while they were there.
Pro-Paleostinian groups posted the soldiers’ information online and the pair were instructed by Israeli authorities to remain in their hotel room in case of the unlikely event that arrest warrants would be issued for them and the more likely concern that their safety was at risk, reports said.
They were whisked back to Israel and arrived safely.
The Hind Rajab Foundation
…a project launched last October by the March 30 Movement, itself named in memory of the Palestinian general strike on that date in 1976 in the West Bank against the Israeli government, since referred to as Land Day. Both groups are lawfare boiler rooms generating endless lawsuits against Israelis and those who support Israel in Western Europe and elsewhere, and between times propagandizing against Israel using the currently fashionable far left shibboleths. March 30 is the hobby of lawyer Haroon Raza, appearing at the end of 2023, but at bottom it’s a Hezbollah front founded by Dyab Abou Jahjah (Dyab Abu Jahjah) …
acknowledged tracking the soldiers, describing one of them as "a war criminal."
In a post Tuesday to its X account the organization said, "Our lawyers moved on him, in silence. However,
the way to a man's heart remains through his stomach... after some large accounts online started tagging us with their pictures, the Israelis were alerted and immediately smuggled" out of the Netherlands.
The army said in a statement it "emphasizes that IDF soldiers and commanders are required to follow information security and personal safety instructions."
Soldiers, including those in the reserves, have been advised to delete any photos they posted to social media of their time in war zones. They have also been told to consider making their social media accounts private, enabling only acquaintances to access the information. Soldiers are also told to not publish information about trips they take abroad.
The soldiers’ flight back to Israel was paid for by PassportCard, an Israeli medical insurance group. PassportCard announced Monday it had set up a $1,000,000 fund to pay for emergency flights for soldiers who need to change their travel plans abroad to avoid possible arrests.
Antisemitic incidents in Amsterdam have spiked since Hamas ..the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,... attacked Israel on October 7, killing 1,200 people, taking 251 hostages, and sparking the war in Gaza. In November last year, coordinated attacks against Israeli soccer fans in Amsterdam sparked furious reactions around the world.
Israeli officials said 10 people were maimed in the violence, while hundreds more Israelis huddled in their hotels for hours, fearing they could be attacked. Many said that Dutch security forces were nowhere to be found, as the Israeli tourists were ambushed by gangs of masked assailants who shouted pro-Paleostinian and anti-Israel slogans while they hunted, beat, and harassed them.
The Hind Rajab Foundation has sparked alarm in Israel recently by seeking the arrest of Israeli officials and soldiers traveling abroad over alleged war crimes. It is named after a 6-year-old girl who was killed in Gaza in January 2024. Her death was blamed on the IDF, but an initial probe conducted by the army said there were no troops in the area at the time.
Last month a reservist IDF soldier was forced to flee Brazil when the Hind Rajab Foundation sought to have him arrested after identifying that he was on vacation in the country.
In January, Channel 12 reported that the Foreign Ministry knows of at least 12 cases in which complaints have been filed abroad against Israel Defense Forces soldiers accusing them of war crimes in Gaza.
Such complaints have been filed in Brazil, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Belgium, the Netherlands, Serbia, Ireland and Cyprus, the report said, citing figures presented in a ministerial meeting. According to the Haaretz daily, the list also includes South Africa and La Belle France.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Donald Trump made his strongest move against illegal immigration yet on Wednesday, signing an executive order that stops taxpayer money from going to undocumented migrants.
The White House stated that Trump is 'committed to safeguarding Federal public benefits for American citizens who are truly in need, including individuals with disabilities and veterans.'
Trump is demanding 'corrective action' to stop 'all taxpayer-funded benefits for illegal aliens'.
Currently, children are entitled to a free K-12 public education regardless of immigration status under a 1982 Supreme Court ruling. Trump's order says a 1996 welfare law is supposed to deny public benefits to most illegal migrants, but points out that overhaul was 'repeatedly undercut' under Biden. He claims the Biden administration's border crisis resulted 'in the improper expenditure of significant taxpayer resources.'
The president also immediately ended his predecessor's use of parole to allow people into America temporarily, including via the controversial CBP One app that allowed in 900,000 migrants at the Mexican border. More than 500,000 Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans who flew to the US at their own expense with a financial sponsor took advantage of the program.
Biden also granted parole to nearly 300,000 people from Ukraine and Afghanistan. People granted parole for at least a year are considered 'qualified non-citizens,' making them eligible for some income-based benefits, but only after five years. Those benefits include Medicaid and the Children´s Health Insurance Program, which provides coverage to children in families that earn too much money to qualify for Medicaid.
The order directs federal department and agencies to identify and end all federally funded programs currently providing any financial benefits to illegal immigrants.
'It ensures that Federal funds to states and localities will not be used to support "sanctuary" policies or assist illegal immigration,' according to a White House fact sheet about the order. The order also includes a mandate to improve benefit eligibility verification to make sure benefits are not going to immigrants in the US illegally.
Trump signed 10 executive orders on immigration on his first day in office. They included ending automatic citizenship for people born in the United States and asylum at the southern border. The birthright citizenship order has been temporarily halted in court.
Speaking to reporters on Wednesday night, Trump said he thinks ICE is doing a 'great job.'
Among his efforts taken on immigration, the president has also allowed the military to act as immigration and border enforcement officials and reprioritized the building of the border wall.
Trump moved to end so-called 'catch and release' which allows some migrants to remain in the US while they wait for court proceedings, instead opting for detentions and deportations of those in the US illegally. He also stopped the refugee arrivals and paused the US Refugee Admission Program pending a review.
More broadly, the president has also pushed to redefine birthright citizenship under the Fourteen Amendment, which is already being challenged in federal court.
The Biden administration made the changes to deal with the massive influx of illegal immigrants trying to get into the US in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. Since Trump took over nearly a month ago, illegal border crossings have dropped substantially, as deportations have ramped up. 'Border Czar' Tom Homan posted to X on Monday that in the past 24 hours, US Border Patrol only encountered 229 migrants attempting to cross into the United States - down from a high water mark of 11,000 a day during the Biden years.
'I started as a Border Patrol Agent in 1984 and I don't remember the number ever being that low,' Homan commented. 'President Trump promised a secure border and he is delivering.'
Homan pushed back on an Axios report from Friday that said the Trump administration wasn't arresting as many illegal immigrants crossing into the US as the Biden administration. The Trump official explained this is because fewer people have been making those illegal crossing. He added that the new administration has been focused on 'interior arrests.'
'And we're blowing them out of the water,' Homan said.
Homan said that there were more than 600,000 illegal immigrants in the US with criminal convictions.
'So I won't be happy until we eradicate every one of those,' Homan said.

"Explosive"? He's enforcing a law on the book since 1996 (Clinton Administration). The Donks had the Presidency, House and Senate under Obama for two years that could have changed that law. They did not.

I missed this, and it's a good start. But NGOs all have battle chests to survive Trump and to carry on their missions during his admin. There was an expectation of funding freezes and they have already war gamed the next four years in their think tanks and consulting groups.
[KhaamaPress] The U.S. State Department has directed the Office of the Coordinator for Afghan Relocation Efforts (CARE) to prepare for closure by April 2025. This decision could affect approximately 200,000 Afghan individuals, including family members of Afghan-American military personnel, children awaiting reunification, and those who assisted U.S. forces during the 20-year conflict in Afghanistan.
CARE was established in August 2021 to facilitate the relocation of Afghans at risk due to their association with the U.S. government. Since its inception, the office has successfully resettled around 118,000 individuals, according to Rooters.
The impending closure of CARE has raised concerns among advocates and former military personnel. Shawn VanDiver, founder of AfghanEvac, described the potential shutdown as "a national disgrace, a betrayal of our Afghan allies, of the veterans who fought for them, and of America’s word."
This development coincides with broader efforts by the U.S. government to reduce diplomatic staff and cut expenditures. The closure aligns with President Donald Trump ...They hit him with slander, they impeached him twice. Nancy Pelosi tore up his State of the Union address on national TV. They stole an election and put his adherents in jail. They vilified him. They couldn't crucify him, so they shot him. Still, they can't keep him down... ’s initiative to overhaul diplomatic operations and reduce government spending by $2 trillion.
The closure plan includes shutting down processing centers in Qatar ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi... and Albania, where nearly 3,000 Afghans, including unaccompanied minors, are currently awaiting resettlement. These individuals are living in temporary housing units, receiving basic necessities, but face uncertainty due to the potential cessation of support programs.
The decision to close CARE has not been officially confirmed by the U.S. government, and the identities of those who issued the directive remain unclear. The situation continues to evolve, with ongoing discussions about the future of Afghan resettlement efforts.
The potential closure of CARE underscores the precarious position of Afghan allies who risked their lives to support U.S. operations. Many are now stranded in third countries or facing threats in Afghanistan, highlighting the urgent need for a clear and humane policy response.
Advocacy groups are calling for immediate action to ensure the safety and resettlement of these individuals, emphasizing the moral obligation to honor commitments made to those who assisted the U.S. during its military engagement in Afghanistan.
The international community is closely monitoring this situation, with hopes that the U.S. will uphold its promises and provide a pathway to safety for Afghan allies and their families.
[KhaamaPress] Shawn VanDeveer, the president of the main coalition of U.S. retired soldiers, advocates for refugee rights, and military personnel or “Afghan Evac,” has stated that the U.S. Department of State has not yet decided on the permanent closure of the office responsible for overseeing the resettlement of Afghan citizens.
On Wednesday, February 19, Shawn VanDiver posted a message on X regarding this matter. He noted that while the department has not made a final decision, “it doesn’t look good.”
He further clarified that the U.S. State Department is currently considering plans to permanently shut down the office that manages the resettlement process for Afghan citizens. He assured that as soon as there is more information, they will notify their Afghan friends about the developments.
Reuters reported yesterday, citing sources, that the office responsible for resettling eligible Afghan refugees in the U.S. has been instructed to prepare for closure by April of this year. This directive would prevent at least 200,000 eligible refugees from being able to enter the United States.
According to the report, if this directive is implemented, it would put the lives of tens of thousands of Afghan collaborators, who worked with U.S. forces in Afghanistan, in danger as they are now under Taliban rule. The situation has raised concerns about the safety and future of these individuals, who face imminent threats due to their association with the U.S. military.
The potential closure of the office that facilitates Afghan refugee resettlement raises significant human rights concerns. The decision could result in the denial of refuge for those who risked their lives to support U.S. forces in Afghanistan.
[NYP] President Trump signed an executive order Wednesday night barring illegal immigrants from receiving federally-funded benefits.
"My Administration will uphold the rule of law, defend against the waste of hard-earned taxpayer resources, and protect benefits for American citizens in need, including individuals with disabilities and veterans," read the text of Trump’s order.
The president noted that the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA) ostensibly prohibits illegal immigrants from obtaining most taxpayer-funded benefits, but he argued that in the decades since its passage "numerous administrations have acted to undermine the principles and limitations directed by the Congress."
After returning to the White House, President Trump has intensified pressure on undocumented immigrants colonists, with some being transferred to other countries.
The Trump administration has moved several "undocumented Democrat offenders" to Guantanamo Bay. Recently, a group of Asian immigrants colonists, including those from Afghanistan and Iran, were deported to Panama.
[ToloNews] The Embassy of the Islamic Emirate in Pakistain has announced that Pakistain has decided to expel Afghan refugees from all parts of the country, including Islamabad and Rawalpindi, in the near future.
According to a statement from the Embassy of the Islamic Emirate in Islamabad, this decision is final and includes the expulsion of all Afghan refugees, including those holding ACC (Afghan Citizen Card) and PoR (Proof of Registration) cards.
Sardar Ahmad Shakeeb, the chargé d'affaires of the Embassy of the Islamic Emirate in Islamabad, stated: "The officials of Pakistain's Ministry of Foreign Affairs have informed us that from now on, Afghans can only stay in Pakistain with a visa. The ACC and PoR cards will no longer be valid. However,
there's more than one way to stuff a chicken... their cabinet has extended the validity of the PoR cards until June 30. After that, they will have no legal status—those who leave voluntarily can do so, but others will be forcibly deported."
At the same time, some Afghan refugees living in Pakistain consider this decision one-sided and call for their concerns to be addressed. They say this decision has caused anxiety among Afghan refugees in Pakistain.
"The Pak government should coordinate with the current Afghan authorities and the UNHCR in a tripartite agreement to establish a policy that guarantees all the rights of refugees," said Atiqullah Mansoor, an Afghan refugee in Pakistain.
"According to Pakistain's latest decision to expel all Afghan refugees from Islamabad, Rawalpindi, and other areas, this move has deeply worried Afghan refugees in Pakistain," said Mohammad Reza Sazish, another Afghan refugee in Pakistain.
This comes as Pakistain hosts the largest number of Afghan refugees, and previously, the United Nations ...where theory meets practice and practice loses... had also urged Pakistain to halt the forced deportation of Afghan refugees.
[SUDANTRIBUNE] The United Nations ...an organization conceived in the belief that we're just one big happy world, with the sort of results you'd expect from such nonsense... expressed deep concern on Wednesday over reports that Sudan ...a Moslem country located in the Horn of Africa. It is noted for its affinity for rule by ex- or current generals, its holy men, and for the oppression of the native Afro population by its Arab conquerors. South Sudan, populated mostly by the natives, split off from Sudan proper, which left North and South Darfur to be oppressed by the guys with turbans... 's Rapid Support Forces (RSF) are planning to declare a parallel government, warning such a move would escalate the conflict and fracture the country.
Spokesman Stephane Dujarric told news hounds at a briefing that the UN had seen ''rather extensive reports about the anticipated announcement by the Rapid Support Forces and others to establish a parallel government or a parallel governing body.''
''We're very deeply concerned about any further escalation of the Sudanese conflict and any steps like this one, which would increase the fragmentation of the country and risk making this crisis even worse,'' Dujarric said.
The RSF and allied groups are expected to announce a parallel government at the end of a meeting in Kenya on Friday, a move criticized by the Sudanese government.
He highlighted the dire humanitarian situation in Sudan, citing reports of famine and ongoing violence. ''We keep talking about Zamzam and other places where starving people are being killed and being bombed,'' he said.
''For us, preserving the unity of Sudan, the illusory sovereignty, and the territorial integrity remains a key ingredient for a sustainable resolution of the conflict and the long-term stability of the country in the wider region,'' Dujarric stated.
The UN reiterated its call to cease hostilities to protect civilians immediately. ''We yet again renew our call for an immediate cessation of hostilities to spare the Sudanese people any further arms,'' he said.

[IsraelTimes] Shi’ite-majority Iraq to send delegation to Lebanon for burial of slain terror leader and his would-be successor; Beirut airport to be closed for 4 hours on Sunday during funeral
Flights from Baghdad to Beirut are nearly at capacity as airlines increase services ahead of Hezbollah’s terror leader His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah ...The late, lamented satrap of the Medes and the Persians in Leb...> ’s funeral, officials said.
The Iran-backed terror group has called for a huge turnout when Nasrallah, killed in a September Israeli strike, is laid to rest in the Lebanese capital on Sunday.
"Iraqi Airways will increase its flights to Beirut from one flight a day to two, starting on February 20," said transport ministry spokesperson Maytham al-Safi, citing heightened demand ahead of the funeral.
An Iraqi airline official told AFP that "all seats on Iraqi Airlines flights from Baghdad to Beirut are booked."
A source from Leb ...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?... ’s Middle East Airlines (MEA) reported increased flights between Baghdad and Beirut from Friday to Tuesday.
The airlines’ websites show that Iraqi Airways flights are fully booked until Sunday, with MEA nearly sold out.
Iraqi politicians and officials are expected to attend Nasrallah’s funeral privately, an Iraqi official said. Representatives from pro-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... Iraqi factions, Hezbollah’s longstanding allies in the Tehran-led "axis of resistance," are also expected to participate.
Beirut airport will be closed for four hours during the funeral.
Hezbollah has said 79 countries would be involved in the commemoration, either officially or through "popular" support.
Sunday’s funeral will also honor Hashem Safieddine, a senior Hezbollah figure who had been chosen to succeed Nasrallah before he was killed in an Israeli strike in October.
After decades at the helm of the group once seen as invincible, the killing of the charismatic Nasrallah sent shock waves across Lebanon and the wider region.
Since Nasrallah’s death, portraits of him, either alone or alongside other slain pro-Iran terror commanders, have been displayed throughout Baghdad and other areas of the Shiite-majority country.
On Sunday afternoon, thousands are expected to attend a "symbolic" procession for Nasrallah in Baghdad’s northwestern neighborhood of Kadhimiya, which is home to a Shiite shrine.
Nasrallah was killed in a huge Israeli Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... on Beirut’s southern suburbs on September 27, 2024, as Israel scaled up its campaign against the Iran-backed terror group following almost a year of cross-border attacks.
Hezbollah began near-daily attacks on northern Israel one day after the October 7, 2023, attack on Israel by its Paleostinian ally Hamas ..a regional Iranian catspaw,... , which triggered the war in Gazoo

Some 60,000 Israeli residents of the north were displaced by Hezbollah’s attacks, with rocket fire eventually spreading to the center of the country.
Israel intensified its campaign against Hezbollah in September, launching a series of devastating blows against the group’s leadership and killing its longtime chief Nasrallah before launching a ground invasion in southern Lebanon aimed at securing the border and enabling the return of displaced Israelis.
[IsraelTimes] Vaccine drive to start back up again after virus detected in wastewater; UN body says some 7,000 children from north Gaza weren’t inoculated in last round due to intense fighting.
[IsraelTimes] Paleostinian Authority President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ...aka Abu Mazen, a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial. While no Yasser Arafat, he has his own brand of evil, just a little more lowercase....> has fired an official who criticized his decision to end a system that paid stipends to the families of prisoners, including those convicted of deadly terror attacks against Israelis.
Abbas has announced the replacement of Qadura Fares as head of a prisoner affairs body, without providing an explanation.
Last week, Abbas put an end to what was known as the "deaders’ fund," acquiescing to longstanding demands by the United States and Israel. Many Paleostinians viewed the payments as compensation for people harmed in the course of their struggle against Israel.
The United States and Israel had long criticized the practice, saying it incentivized violence.
Abbas is deeply unpopular among Paleostinians, many of whom view his Paleostinian Authority as corrupt and autocratic.
The Hamas terror group, which drove Abbas’s forces from Gaza in 2007, criticized Fares’s firing, saying it reflects the “oppression and exclusion” practiced by the authority and its “submission to Zionist and American dictates.”
Last week, Fares gave a presser urging the president to immediately withdraw his decree ending the conditioning of welfare payments to Paleostinian security prisoners on the length of their sentences in Israeli jails.
While the government will likely continue to provide stipends to many families of prisoners and slain terrorists, it will do so based only on financial need.
Fares criticized Abbas’s decision to transfer the database of information on the families of prisoners and slain attackers from the Social Welfare Ministry to a new independent body called the Paleostinian National Foundation for Economic Empowerment.
The Abbas decree went into effect today, and will see Raed Abu al-Humus take Fares’s place as minister.
[Rudaw] The United States Navy and Coast Guard rescued seven mariners from a sinking Iranian vessel in the Persian Gulf, the US Central Command announced late Tuesday.
The mariners, five Iranians and two Indians, were rescued after abandoning the commercial vessel Shayesteh, which had issued a mayday call before sinking.
The crew was rescued by US naval personnel and taken aboard a coasties ship for medical care.
The Persian Gulf is a strategic waterway, vital for global energy supplies, with a significant portion of the world's oil transiting through the Strait of Hormuz. Incidents involving vessels in this region have far-reaching implications for international trade and regional stability.
In recent years, there have been multiple instances where US naval forces have rendered aid to Iranian sailors in distress.
