Hamas attacks Israel

To Prove It's Different This Time, IDF Rebrands Jenin's 'Armed Thugs' as Hamas Battalion.

Despite the IDF's claims of targeting Hamas' Jenin battalion, no such unit exists. The West Bank offensive closely resembles previous missions in the Palestinian city, where most armed individuals are young criminals who fled the refugee camp

Ontario NDP rejects Sarah Jama's bid to rejoin caucus

OTTAWA — It’ll be a party of one for a contentious Ontario MPP.


Ousted by the Ontario NDP caucus just months after winning a byelection, Hamilton Centre MPP Sarah Jama found on Monday that she’ll be running as an independent in the upcoming provincial election after the party rejected her bid to rejoin.

“After many months of back-and-forth with the Ontario NDP, despite provincial council unanimously voting that I should have the right to seek nomination in Hamilton Centre, and Hamilton District Labour Council urging the ONDPO to repair its relationship with me, I have been told by the Ontario NDPO that my application has been rejected,” Jama wrote in a news release on Monday.



Winning her seat as an NDP candidate in March 2023, Jama’s troubling statements about the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attacks — and her continued history of anti-Israel remarks — prompted the party to boot her from caucus that October.

Of particular concern were social media posts about the Israel-Hamas war, which she referred to as “apartheid.”

An apology was later posted online, but Jama didn’t retract the original statement — she was kicked out of the NDP caucus soon after.

In a statement, Ontario NDP provincial director Kevin Beaulieu declined to provide details on why Jama’s bid to rejoin the party was quashed.

“Our party has a vetting and appeal process, approved by our Provincial Council, and that process applies to any Ontarian who seeks to run for us,” he said, explaining the process is confidential.

“In the case of Ms. Jama, as with all applicants, the process was followed, and she was notified of the decision.”

Pretty sure he was a Rastafarian, mon.

Norwegian Rastafarian (?) so clearly European though?

So that’s that! All those Jews are Europeans. Probably Norwegians. The Fertile Crescent (Arabic: الهلال الخصيب) is a crescent-shaped region in the Middle East, spanning modern-day Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine, and Syria, together with northern Kuwait, south-eastern Turkey, and western Iran. Some authors also include Cyprus and northern Egypt. Notice above they don’t mention Israel or Narnia? That’s probably significant.

Well, that’s settled then. Phew! Anyway…

After more than 15 months of war, the guns have finally fallen silent in Gaza. Thanks to a fragile ceasefire, a total of seven Israeli hostages have now been released. Romi Gonen, Doron Steinbrecher, Emily Damari, Karina Ariev, Daniella Gilboa, Naama Levy and Liri Albag are now home safe with their families, with more hostages probably set to be freed in the coming days and weeks.

On the first day of the current truce between Israel and Hamas, Israel freed 90 Palestinian prisoners from its prisons, in exchange for three Israeli hostages. This past weekend, Israel freed 200 more. On its face, the agreement between Israel and Hamas makes little sense. Ever since Hamas launched its October 7 massacre, Israel and Hamas have been at war, with only a brief, week-long pause in the hostilities in November 2023, and it has ostensibly been asymmetric.

Media outlets around the world regularly shared pictures of Gazan neighbourhoods bombed to rubble. Hamas controlled Palestinian authorities estimated the death toll to be in the tens of thousands.

Accusations of genocide were levelled against the IDF — accusations that tend to imply that Israeli forces caused a great deal of death and destruction, and that the Israeli government intended to destroys Gazans as a group, in whole or in part.

Yet the events of the past two weeks are beginning to paint a picture of an Israeli loss.

Videos of Hamas’s well-choreographed hostage handovers show large crowds of people held back by armed Hamas fighters in full military uniforms, which seems to demonstrate the continued survival of Hamas as a fighting force and its persistent control over the area.
Former U.S. secretary of state Antony Blinken stated recently that Hamas has recruited so many new fighters, it has nearly replaced all those lost to Israeli strikes — a stunning revelation, if true.

Then there is the blatant inequality of the current agreement: almost 100 Palestinian prisoners last week were exchanged for just three Israeli hostages. Two hundred more were exchanged over the weekend for an additional four. Over the coming weeks, Israel is set to release almost 2,000 Palestinian prisoners, many of them convicted murderers, in exchange for just 33 hostages…8 of which are un-alived…?

Both sides know it’s an unequal exchange of a handful of innocents for a horde of killers, with even the “women and children” released by Israel involved in terrorism, though legacy media downplay or deny it.

The Jewish state is willing to trade a horde of captured killers for the return of a few innocent hostages, even if it's a bad deal

Damn….well, that’ll learn them to read the signs that say, “Don’t feed the Park Bears!”


Now, what’s the solution for nuisance bears?

But too late now, I guess.

Bears in Saskatchewan | Living with Wildlife | Government of Saskatchewan

Saskatchewan is black bear country. Managing attractants such as food and household waste helps keep people and bears safe.

www.saskatchewan.ca

Sometimes a bear that causes problems must be killed. The DNR only kills bears when they have been determined to be a public safety threat; this happens on average fewer than six times per year.

Can I shoot a problem bear?​

Homeowners and farmowners kill the majority of nuisance bears, which is allowed in state law. This option can only be used if the bear is causing significant property damage or creating an immediate danger to people or animals. (Destroying a bird feeder or unsecured trash cans is not a viable reason to shoot a bear.)

Before you shoot a bear, ask yourself if you have taken all of the necessary precautions to prevent the situation and if killing the animal is your only solution. Call your DNR Area Wildlife Manager to discuss the situation.

Put down the poking sticks and let them out of their cages returning them to their natural environment.

“Hamas is ISIS,” declared Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, linking the grotesque slaughter carried out by the Palestinian faction's militants to the ravages of the Islamic State.

Well that explains why Israeli did fuck all about Isis and supported them by buying oil.

Theyre both his babies.

Anywho… as an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood (How could that have turned out badly?), then Israel started sharing the picnic basket, and the bears are eventually adopted by the Shaw of some country I won’t even mention…with a side of 75 years of UNRWA indoctrinated hate, and it’s 2025, and Ahmed’s your inbred uncle!

Doesn’t make the Bears (or the Ranger) smell any better. Now what? Still a shitty situation all around.

Relocated bears (I’ve read recently) tend to return to their stomping grounds within a month, not that the bears in this case are going anywhere, & these bears are more like rabid gophers (but on a bigger scale).

How do you (or can you?) separate the rabid gophers from the Palestinians (pick a critter here), so the “Unicorns” (?) can hopefully coexist with the smelly Rangers (that hopefully can be hosed down to make them somewhat more palatable) in the immediate future & going forward?

Stop trusting the Rangers who are being pimped by Neo-Conservationists.

Prior to a major mauling in NYC and one in DC one fine Sept morning nobody in our forest cared about bears with the exception of Neo-Conservationists with leaning towards a National Park on the Mediterranean that has no forests. They had a plan 5 years before the mauling.

A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm (commonly known as the "Clean Break" report) is a policy document that was prepared in 1996 by a study group led by Richard Perle for Benjamin Netanyahu, the then Prime Minister of Israel.[1] The report explained a new approach to solving Israel's security problems in the Middle East with an emphasis on "Western values." It has since been criticized for advocating an aggressive new policy including the removal of Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq and the containment of Syria by engaging in proxy warfare and highlighting its possession of "weapons of mass destruction". Certain parts of the policies set forth in the paper were rejected by Netanyahu.[2][3]

After the mauling in NYC and DC everyone was traumatized and started to fear the bears which gave Neo-Conservationists an opening to put their anti-bear campaign in high gear.

Using this fear to their advantage the Neo-Conservationists went bear hunting in 2 completely different forests. Desert bears and Himalayan bears.

The Neo-Conservationists were happy but not done. There was still parts of the plan to finish so they convinced the surviving desert bears whose head bear was found in a den outside Tikrit that their neighbour bears who were also the neighbours of the Neo-Conservationists had the best honey. The Neo-Conservationists with the help of Turkey bears and Jordan bears did what they do and created the Isis bears.

Coming soon...

More on "the plan" and how Israel came to near civil war..

"Israel's new strategic agenda can shape the regional environment in ways that grant Israel the room to refocus its energies back to where they are most needed: to rejuvenate its national idea, which can only come through replacing Israel's socialist foundations with a more sound footing; and to overcome its exhaustion, which threatens the survival of the nation.[1]

So Netanyahu found it necessary to eliminate the religious Socialist/Labour Zionists who are peace and negotiating oriented with his violence oriented secular Revisionist Zionists.

Labor Zionism (Hebrew: תְּנוּעָת הָעַבוֹדָה, romanized: tnuʽat haʽavoda) or socialist Zionism (Hebrew: צִיּוֹנוּת סוֹצְיָאלִיסְטִית, romanized: tsiyonut sotzyalistit) is the left-wing, socialist variant of Zionism. For many years, it was the most significant tendency among Zionists and Zionist organizations, and was seen as the Zionist faction of the historic Jewish labour movements of Eastern Europe and Central Europe. Labor Zionism eventually developing local movements in most countries with sizable Jewish populations. Unlike the "political Zionist" tendency founded by Theodor Herzl and advocated by Chaim Weizmann, Labor Zionists did not believe that a Jewish state would be created by simply appealing to the international community or to powerful nations such as the United Kingdom, Germany, or the former Ottoman Empire. Rather, they believed that a Jewish state could only be created through the efforts of the Jewish working class making aliyah to the Land of Israel and raising a country through the creation of a Labor Jewish society with rural kibbutzim and moshavim, and an urban Jewish proletariat.

I can see why the real Jews arent happy with the atheists who call themselves Jews. Without the Octobercaust, Netanyahu and the atheists would have lost power and he'd be incarcerate sharing yard time with 12 year old Palestinians.

It also explains why Bibi's Hamas buddies hit the Kibbutzes along with IDF tanks to rattle the religious.

No idea, but I’m doubting it. Probably just misunderstood upstanding citizens who accidentally got involved in murders or terrorist activities, etc…we will just have to wait for the details as this is literally happening live at this point as far as I understand things.
