The EU issued a statement on 24 March firmly condemning Israel’s
recent plans to confiscate over 800 hectares of occupied Palestinian
land in the West Bank, the largest confiscation since the signing of
the Oslo Accords in 1993.

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich announced the confiscation
on Friday, declaring the 800 hectares (1,976 acres) as “state lands”
to open them to Jewish settlement.

Israel plans to build hundreds of settlement units on the stolen land,
in addition to an area designated for industry, trade, and employment.

Smotrich made the announcement on the day US Secretary of State Antony
Blinken visited Israel for talks with Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu. Continued settlement building goes against official US
policy as it is illegal under international law, but US leaders take
little action to prevent it.

The EU statement added that “Settlements are a grave breach of
international humanitarian law” and urged “Israel to reverse these
decisions.”

Further, “the EU will not recognize changes to the 1967 borders unless
agreed by the parties.”

At the same time, the EU affirmed that it is determined to support
Israel “by continuously condemning Hamas in the strongest possible
terms and through sanctions and other measures.”

The 800 hectares of land in the Jordan Valley were designated as state
land following a similar confiscation in February of 300 hectares (740
acres) of Palestinian land near the Maale Adumim settlement in the
West Bank, which land is crucial for the establishment of a future
independent state.

A long-time settler activist, Smotrich became Finance Minister after
his Religious Zionism party joined Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s
governing coalition following elections in November 2022.

He assumed new powers over the occupied territory and quickly moved to
approve thousands of new settlement homes, legalize previously
settlement outposts that were unauthorized under Israeli law, and pass
measures to accelerate the demolition of Palestinian homes and to
prevent new Palestinian homes from being built.

The moves came as part of Smotrich's broader effort to ethnically
cleanse and annex the West Bank to enable Jewish settlement in the
Palestinians' place.

The Associated Press reported in September that “As the first
government minister to oversee civilian life in the West Bank, his
role amounts to a recognition that Israel’s 56-year military
occupation is not temporary but permanent, observers say.”

“If Smotrich keeps this position for four years, we will be at a point
of no return,” said Ilan Paz, former head of Israel’s Civil
Administration, a military body overseeing civilian affairs in the
West Bank.

The longer this war goes on, the more Netanyahu is becoming like
Hitler; even worse in some respects.

In another century or two (maybe a few decades?), it will all be

The only time that our case study as an example of the hypothetical (ie.
the text is uncharacteristic) comment (ie. not always the same person)
would have any criteria of merit is when it constituted a journalised
summary which stridently conformed to a dialectic to then facilitate
coherence as collective idea cohesion (ie. unity of apperception). And in
such a circumstance (ie. given the biblical text: "NOW WHEN JESUS WAS BORN
IN BETHLEHEM OF *JUDAEA*-G2449 IN THE DAYS OF HEROD THE KING, BEHOLD, THERE
CAME WISE MEN FROM THE EAST TO JERUSALEM, SAYING, WHERE IS HE THAT IS BORN
KING OF THE JEWS?

FOR WE HAVE SEEN HIS STAR IN THE EAST, AND ARE COME TO WORSHIP HIM:

WHEN HEROD THE KING HAD HEARD THESE THINGS, HE WAS TROUBLED, AND ALL
JERUSALEM WITH HIM." [Matthew 2:1-3]

It is then a blasphemy to make any ISLAMIC prerogative claim to the
CELESTIAL HIERARCHY ANCHORED FROM 1 AD AS 19 YEAR LUNAR METONIC CYCLE /
TROPICAL YEAR -- SUCH AS THE POPE WELL KNOWS IS A SECTARIAN / SECULAR CRIME
AGAINST HUMANITY GIVEN THE LUNAR GRAND INCEPTION OF 21 DECEMBER 104 BCE /
2025.

Suggests that in 4 BCE as before any colonial mindset of ISLAM, that JUDAEA
included ALL PALESTINE even when it was a vassal sovereignty under ROMAN
RULE and known to the ARABIC worldview as such) the ALGERIAN UN
AMBASSADOR's statement could viably be viewed as conforming to a pragma
category in being an antagonism towards democracy: #668 - MALE CHECKSUM
TOTAL: #336 as [#40, #1, #10, #2, #10, #5, #600] = ʼôyêb (H341): {UMBRA:

In our reasonable view you are only engaged within historical revisionism

To illustrate this, that AFGHANISTAN could not be considered a DEMOCRACY if
tomorrow they held elections and everyone could vote since the absurdity
exists where they have no will towards ensuring the disenfranchised (eg:
women) within their collective (ie. can you even call it a society or
civil) all have an equity as self identity and autonomy.

In such a circumstance of PYTHAGOREAN #135 / #405 / #540 / #1080 - HETEROS
BIPARTITE NUMBER paradigm equivalence (ie. NAZISM is a faith without RITUAL
and ISLAM is a DOGMA of inconsequential RITUAL) given the year 1939 of WWII
commencement was a lunar metonic 19 year cycle anchored to 1 AD that
similarly purveys a supernal construct of conformity to COGITO: #40 - LAW /

But to the detriment as testimony of history to which ISLAM possesses a
BLOOD GUILT which renders it a DEPRAVITY whether by the POPE or ISLAM to
then make statements on the JEWISH STATE / CAPITAL without first
differentiating your INSTITUTIONAL DOGMA FOUNDATIONS from NAZISM:

Reason alone must have the last word.

REDUCTIO AD HITLERUM AS TABLE TALK IDEA #323 FOR 24 JUNE 1943: "The Berlin
workman is unique as a swift and efficient craftsman. There is nothing to
touch him in Munich or Vienna, where the infusion of foreign blood—Polish,
Czech, Slav, Italian—still has an influence....

It is perhaps a blessing in disguise that I was for so long a Stateless
person; for it has taught me the tremendous value of a unified Germany.

Treitschke once said: "Germany has cities, but she possesses no capital."
To that I will add that she must, and she shall, have one. I shall take
care that no town in the Reich can rival the capital.

I have examined certain projects for Vienna, but they demand a financial
backing from the Reich which I do not consider should be accorded to any
city but the capital of the Reich. Any other decision would be wrong.
Vienna must, of course, be cleaned up and cleared of slums; and this will
be done. I have already cleared the Jews out of the city, but I should like
to see the Czechs go, too....

My duty is to safeguard the interests of the Reich, and I expect every
Gauleiter to understand that clearly. To achieve great things, it is
necessary to burn many of one's boats behind one—especially those which are
laden with personal prejudices. Reason alone must have the last word."
[pages 709, 712]

"For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted
of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, And have
tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, If they
shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify
to themselves the Son of *GOD*-G2316: afresh, and put him to an open shame.

Yeah, it's a tragedy. But when 1,000+ people are murdered in cold
blood, what is any government to do?? If someone broke into my home and
I was convinced that they were going to murder me and/or my family, I
would try to fight back in self-defense. If possible, I would not kill
them or even injure them, even if I legally (or, even morally) could.
Ideally, my goal would be to see that their hands are fully restrained
(if I owned handcuffs, that would be ideal, but I don't own a pair), and
after that, I would call the police ASAP. In the end, though, it may
come down to one of us living and the other dying, probably, me and my
family, as I do not own any lethal weapons. Hopefully, the police could
arrive in time.

That's not the worst idea either if this thousands of years blood feud
is ever to be ended.

so they are trying to kill you, but you don't want to hurt them?

a pair of heavy duty cable ties are useful as handcuffs. keep some

Life is about tradeoffs. How many intruders get killed in the United
Sates every year? How many people get a gun & kill themselves in the
same year? How many beloved children perish?

In any case, I like your idea about the cable ties! I've been thinking
about getting a stun gun, which is far safer than a handgun and just as

Oh, I agree! The Israeli government is out-of-control with their
assassinations & land-grabbing. For the life of me, I cannot understand
their murders of Iranian physicists, who, as a whole, have an atheistic
outlook on life, which is what Iran, in particular, and our World, in
general, so desperately needs!

In any case, in a century or two (perhaps sooner?), the whole area is
going to be underwater, and so, hopefully, the conflict will end,
forever, at that point.

Not anywhere near as effective, "if it hits".

Cluebat - their attitude is NOT the same as the Mullahs!

So their work would be misused, always.

What Iran needs is hip hop, hair, clothes, cars, and the rest of the
western lifestyle pollutant stream.

And fast!

I am 100% certain they would be happier and that their lifestyle
choices already reside there, they just have to be oppressed by their
masters for even daring to act western.

Darband, in the mountains above Tehran, is where the city's youths goes to relax and take a break from the heat in Iran's Capital.

It's a charming place where families and young people drink tea or smoke a water pipe on sofas set in the river bed.
Here women often drop their headscarves, and couples can hold hands. Our reporter James André went to see what the mood is like, just days after hard line conservative Ebrahim Raissi's victory in the Iranian presidential election.

They seem to have a shared memory of what came before:

“Atheism is the birth right of all human, remember that!”- hhyapster 7.4.23

"Christian beliefs cannot withstand reason, fact, and knowledge"

"Religion is not about truth, it's about lifestyle"

"God is a convenient explanation for what man does not understand.
The less that's inexplicable, the less need for a 'God' explanation."

"The problem with theism is that it never remains within
the realm of belief, but invariably proceeds to assertion"

Those were shining times in the region - times when liberty stood tall
in the face of Muzzi fascism.
