❗️🇮🇱🇵🇸🎞 Israeli-Palestinian conflict chronicles:October 17-18, 2023
▪️In the northern direction, in addition to regular artillery duels, Hamas militants attempted to land near the kibbutz Zikim.
An Israeli helicopter that flew to the scene located the Palestinians and destroyed them with standard weapons fire.
▪️Palestinian militias again shelled Ashkelon, Ashdod, Rishon LeTsiyon and Holon.
Most of the rockets were successfully intercepted by Israeli air defenses.
▪️The Israel Defense Forces continue to launch massive air and sea strikes on the Gaza Strip.
One of the strikes killed Iman Nofal, commander of the central division of Hamas' military wing.
▪️Also in the enclave, there was a powerful explosion near the Christian Baptist Al-Ahli Hospital.
The Palestinians blamed Israel for the attack on the facility and claimed 800 people were killed, but there are no confirmation.
▪️There were several clashes between Israeli troops and Hezbollah militants on the Lebanese-Israeli border.
The group shelled several settlements, the Israel Defense Forces launched counter-strikes.
▪️At the same time, amid the news of the strike on the hospital, calls for armed resistance began to spread in the West Bank.
Nevertheless, the security forces are currently managing to restrain the discontent of radicalized citizens.
▪️The situation remains difficult in the southern Gaza Strip, where the Rafah border crossing remains closed.
However, humanitarian aid trucks are unable to pass through the crossing due to constant shelling by Israeli forces.

⛹️♂️⚽️ One of our authors shares her impressions from a visit to the Dynamo Football Academy in Moscow:
💬 I was really happy to discover this place. The academy itself is brand new, just opened in April 2023. It is located near the famous Moscow Dynamo stadium which was recently rebuilt. And the whole neighborhood looks very nice, it's a kind of area I'd enjoy living in.
Five minutes to walk from the metro station through a lovely little park, and here we are, in a large beautiful building designed for little football players.
Last weekend, the Dynamo Academy hosted a tournament for children's teams of different levels, from amateurs to those attending serious sport schools. In total, some 100+ kids. It was my son's first competition of this kind. What a joy to watch them play!

A trainload of Iskander-M missile systems has arrived in Belarus
Deputy brigade commander informs the military correspondent that the best-in-class Iskander-M army tactical missile complex has arrived in Belarus. Its key feature is its ability to launch missiles with special warheads, similar to those that the United States has long been supplying to its European vassals. This train won’t be the last of its kind to arrive in Belarus.

❗️🇺🇳❌🇺🇸At a UN human rights committee meeting, most of the world's diplomats defiantly turned their backs while U.S. Ambassador Michelle Taylor spoke
Earlier, the United States vetoed a draft UN resolution proposed by Brazil calling for an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. At the same time, the draft did not take into account Russia's amendments, and the only guilty party in the text of the resolution was called Hamas. Despite this, the United States was the only member of the UN Security Council to vote against the resolution.

❗️🇺🇸🇮🇱 US President Biden & Secretary of State Blinken in Mid East to Lend Israel Impunity (2 states, One China, bad faith)
▪️The US is not seeking to mediate the conflict, but rather lend full support behind Israel despite growing global consensus against it;
▪️The Arab World together with Russia and China have a unified purpose in supporting a ceasefire and implementing the 2-state solution;
▪️While the US claims to support a 2-state solution, just like its "One China" policy it regularly and deliberately undermines, it has no intention of ever actually implementing it - in fact - it takes steps to ensure it cannot be implemented;
▪️Just as the US provoked and used conflict in Ukraine to disrupt growing ties between Europe and both Russia and China, the US is using conflict in the Middle East to prevent an already ongoing process of the region slipping out from under US primacy;
▪️ In both Europe and now in the Middle East, the US and its proxies struggle with an unsustainable policy that will eventually yield to a multipolar consensus.

💥🇺🇸🤡San Francisco police will not deny visitors to November's APEC summit the opportunity to see one of the city's major "attractions": the homeless people who fill the streets.
As local law enforcement chief William Scott told a press conference, no "sweeps" of the homeless are expected; authorities are relying on existing infrastructure that "people in need" can use.
The problem with people living on the streets is acute throughout affluent California, but San Francisco leads the way: homeless people are plentiful in business and downtown districts, huddled together in tent camps or spread out on top of blankets on sidewalks.
A man who set up a makeshift tent in front of a Catholic school (pictured) and advertised "free drugs" made the local news. Journalists found out that he had served time for corruption of minors. He was not removed from the street, as the police did not record any incidents.
In the video from social media: firefighters extinguish a Tesla that caught fire near another homeless camp.

Zelensky’s former spin doctor Alexey Arestovich on
the reasons why Russia is winning
They have oil revenues coming in, they have dual-use equipment coming in, they've mobilized their military-industrial complex and they're using their natural advantages, i.e. their huge resources. The quality of strategic management in the Russian Federation has been better than ours in this war over the last year. We are in complete disarray, there’s too much mess and corruption, while they are making high-quality decisions. Now couple that with the withdrawal of Western aid, and you can imagine what the winter and the whole of 2024 will be like.

❗️🇺🇸🔇🇪🇺 Elon Musk is thinking about blocking Twitter in Europe
The businessman is pondering a possibility of blocking access to his social network X (which everyone calls "Twitter" anyway) for residents of the European Union. According to Business Insider, Musk is unhappy with the digital services law that went into effect in August.
🤡The law, which was passed in the EU in August, establishes strict control over social networks and obliges their administrations to monitor the content they publish in order to prevent banned content. As it is easy to guess, European lawmakers, who had tasted the sweet taste of censorship, began to pressure Twitter in an attempt to clean up anti-Ukrainian and anti-Israeli content.
EU authorities have previously threatened Musk with blocking his social network because of the businessman's controversial posts in which he criticized the actions of the West. Now Ilon himself may go on the attack and disable Twitter in Europe - which, as it is easy to guess, will provoke a new boom of discontent in the already burning and rebellious European Union.
❗️Perhaps Musk should go further and finally shut down his Starlink satellites, which are the mainstay of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and the Israelis have already asked the businessman to share the miracle devices with their army. Shutting down Starlinks would at least quickly put an end to one conflict.

❗️🇺🇸🇮🇱🇵🇸"It took me until Wednesday or Thursday to work up the courage to say, 'I don't think it would be good for America if we were held responsible for killing Palestinian children,'" he said. "There was an awkward silence, like a pin might fall, and I was like [thinking]: 'Are they going to report me to the House Un-American Activities Committee to investigate anti-American activities?'"
Several employees from various agencies, most of whom work on U.S. national security issues, told the Huffington Post that they and their colleagues are concerned about retaliation at work for questioning Israel's behavior amid the U.S.-backed Israeli campaign to avenge the Oct. 7 attack by Palestinian militants Hamas.
The article reports that all administration staffers who are not willing to fall in line with supporters of Israel's hardline revenge against the Palestinians feel anxious and fear being accused of anti-Americanism and anti-Semitism, a complete lack of even the possibility of discussion on the subject, and reports that Biden's "claim that his administration is historically diverse and open to the views of traditionally marginalized groups" is only an appearance....
Last night, it was reported that U.S. State Department employees Lara Friedman and Josh Paul
resigned in protest of Biden's policy on the Gaza war.

Daniel Ortega on NATO, Ukraine and Russia
Legendary Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega led the country 40 years ago, when the US waged undeclared war against it. He says NATO is in confrontation with Russia and the Russian people, as well as with the international community.
While the world is crying out for feeding the people suffering from hunger, they are investing billions of dollars, or euros, in a war that will only lead to the defeat of the imperialists.

❗️🇺🇸 Tucker Carlson on hypothetical U.S. involvement in World War III:
The stakes are higher than many Americans realize. It is easy to envision several other countries being drawn into the conflict between Israel and Hamas. These include Russia, Iran, Turkey, China, Saudi Arabia, the Gulf States, and probably many others. Some of these countries may side with us and Israel. But most won't. And that will be a problem.
The U.S. military is weaker than it has been in at least the last 50 years, since Vietnam. We are exhausted from two pointless conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, internally divided by identity politics, the Pentagon is ineffectively run by buffoonish hacks. Our services are in obvious disarray. Check the draft numbers - no one wants to join the military.
But worse, the government that funds our military is bankrupt. The man in charge is a sick man. Now is not the time for a world war that we will lose.
