Middle East Madness > Israeli Arab charged with promoting terrorism on Instagram; Ed Milliband (Jew) praised by Hamas

Israel: Muslim posted calls for jihad and praise of ‘martyrdom’ on his Instagram account

This is yet more indication that the “Palestinian” conflict with Israel is an Islamic jihad that all those whom jihad targets should oppose. Many Westerners will continue to ignore this and to buy into the propaganda line that it’s all about “occupation” and “stolen land.”

Israel National News, September 6, 2026:

Hamas Praises Ed Miliband

Ed Miliband, millionaire Marxist and “proud Jew,” has just announced a new policy, designed to weaken Israel’s hold in Judea and Samaria. From now on, the UK will ban all agricultural products and manufactured goods produced in Judea and Samaria from entering the country. The aim is to weaken economically those whom Miliband calls “the settlers.” In fact, there are 750,000 Israeli “settlers” in Judea, Samaria, and east Jerusalem, and their economy is deeply intertwined with that of the people who live in Israel behind the Green Line. It will be very difficult for the UK enforcers of this new policy to know which oranges, or batteries, come from, say, Ma’ale Adumim in Judea and those that come from a town a few miles away that is in Israel. In any case, many goods from Judea and Samaria can easily be relabelled. And when products produced in Judea and Samaria are identified, that can lead to consequences that Miliband apparently does not comprehend. When, a few years ago, some BDS-minded importers of Israeli goods decided to refuse to accept Sodastream products because they were built in a factory in Judea, SodaStream’s owners decided to move the factory inside Israel. As a consequence, hundreds of Palestinian workers lost their jobs. How many more Palestinian workers will lose their jobs because of Ed Miliband’s policy, that will cause some manufacturing plants to move out of Judea and Samaria?

While there are many reasons to deplore Ed Miliband’s policy, and his ridiculous accusation that Israel may have committed “ethnic cleaning” and that its settlements in Judea and Samaria constitute a “violation of international law,” here’s one more: Hamas is delighted with his remarks. That’s right: the mass-murdering terror group responsible for the atrocities on October 7. 2023 is well pleased with Ed Miliband. More on his Hamas admirers can be found here: 

Hamas terrorists praise Ed Miliband over sanctions on Israel but tell Labour ‘they’re not enough'

by Ed Griffiths, GB News, September 10, 2026:

Hamas has welcomed the sanctions imposed on Israel by Ed Miliband and described the Foreign Secretary’s description of “ethnic cleansing” as a positive development.

The proscribed terrorist organisation, responsible for the October 7 attacks that killed 1,195 Israelis and foreign nationals, also demanded that Israeli leaders face war crimes prosecution.

Basem Naim, a senior figure in Hamas’s political bureau, said: “The imposition of sanctions by Britain and other European countries and Canada on goods imported from the settlements of the occupied West Bank, and the London foreign minister’s use of the term ‘ethnic cleansing’ to describe the crimes of the settlers, are important steps in the right direction but they are not enough.”

Mr Naim also demanded “the prosecution of war criminals in Israel in a manner similar to the Nazi trials at Nuremberg in Germany”.

Speaking in the Commons on Tuesday, Mr Miliband declared the occupation of Palestinian territory “unlawful” and accused Israel of undermining the viability of a two-state solution.

Ed Miliband is wrong. Judea and Samaria are not “Palestinian territory,” but belong by right — see the League of Nations’ Mandate for Palestine, and the territory to which it applied — to Israel.

Or does Miliband not know about the Mandate, or about the UN’s commitment, in Article 80 of the UN Charter, to bring that Mandate to its intended end — a Jewish state?

He told MPs: “The British Government agrees that there is ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in areas of the West Bank, perpetrated by settler terrorists.

“And all too often, the Israeli Government has turned a blind eye to this.”…

Ethnic cleansing in the “West Bank”? What is Basem Naim thinking of? In 1967, when Israel won by force of arms Judea and Samaria, the Arab population of the area was 600,000. Today, there are two million Arabs in the area, which is more than a tripling of the 1967 population. If Israel is carrying on ethnic cleansing in Judea and Samaria, it’s doing a terrible job of it.

Israel responded by denounThe first “outrageous lie” is that Judea and Samaria are “Palestinian territory.” They are not. Instead they form part of the territory allocated to the Mandate for Palestine by the League of Nations, which was then eventually intended to become the Jewish nation-state, the state of Israel.

There are two ways that Palestinians in Judea and Samaria will suffer from Miliband’s policy. First, those who work for Israeli businesses in those territories may lose their jobs if plants are moved back to Israel behind the Green Line. Secondly, the UK consulate’s closure in Jerusalem will make it harder for the UK to monitor the situation of Palestinians in Judea and Samaria, to provide humanitarian aid, to arrange for transfers to the UK for medical reasons, even to make it possible for some Palestinians to migrate to the UK. Did Ed Miliband really think that Israel would not retaliate in this fashion?

And finally, is Ed Miliband the least bit ashamed by the praise that Hamas has just lavished upon him?cing what it termed “outrageous lies” from Mr Miliband and swiftly enacted a series of retaliatory measures against Britain.

Middle East Madness > Western media grotesquely antisemitic in reporting attack

 

Typical Western antisemitic media makes it sound like Israel attacked a Syrian town without excuse. They neglect or downplay the attack on IDF soldiers that triggered the attack. They also neglect to mention who or what the real targets were.

Israel attacks town in Syria; 13 killed

Nov. 28 (UPI) -- The Israeli Defense Forces launched an attack on Beit Jinn in southern Syria, which killed 13 residents, including two children, and seriously wounded some Israeli soldiers.

The Israeli military described the event as an "exchange of fire" in Beit Jinn, where three of its soldiers were seriously injured. It also said it arrested three people associated with Jamaa Islamiya, a Lebanon-based militant group.

The Washington Post reported that, according to their families, there were two girls, ages 4 and 17, and a 10-year-old boy killed.

The Syrian Foreign Ministry called it a "criminal attack carried out by an Israeli occupation army patrol in Beit Jinn. The occupation forces' targeting of the town of Beit Jinn with brutal and deliberate shelling, following their failed incursion, constitutes a full-fledged war crime," Al Jazeera reported.

Syrian civil defense said they weren't able to enter the city to rescue the wounded because the IDF continues to target any movement.

Since the civil war in Syria overturned the Bashar al-Assad regime, the Israeli military seized a demilitarized buffer zone in the Golan Heights and in Syria. It has also launched hundreds of air strikes across Syria, including in Damascus. Human Rights Watch has declared some operations war crimes.

Earlier this month, Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa met with President Donald Trump in the White House, and Trump paused all sanctions against the country for six months. But so far, Al-Sharaa has refused to normalize relations with Israel.

Of course, such a thing would be suicidal when you only have very tentative control over the various Islamic factions in Syria.

Middle East Madness > While Erdogan longs to rebuild the Ottoman Empire, Qatar has global ambitions for Islam

 

As I have mentioned in the past, Turkey is looking for an excuse to invade Israel, but it must wait until the USA has turned against its Middle East ally, or until there is a disastrous financial collapse. With the unpredictable Trump as President, anything is possible, but it's more likely to happen with a Democratic government in the USA.

Turkey Is Preparing For War Against Israel, While Qatar Takes Down The American Rightwing

written by David Mark September 18, 2025 7.8K views

With Israel’s Gaza City operation in full swing as ground troops enter the last major stronghold and Jihadist capital, something else is brewing in the Middle East.

It is no secret that after Israel attacked Hamas’s political leadership residing in Qatar’s capital of Doha on September 9th, the Qataris have been trying to rally the Arab world to their side. Qatar’s Emir called for an emergency summit that was held on September 15th, 2025. The Arab-Islamic emergency summit in Doha was convened to tackle the Israeli attack on Qatar, viewed as a breach of a GCC nation’s sovereignty. Key discussions were expected to focus on diminishing U.S. influence in the region after its failure to provide effective security assurances. The agenda reportedly included exploring new defense alliances with China and Turkey, evaluating the partial withdrawal of U.S. forces in favor of alternative security partners, and considering the termination of multi-billion-dollar U.S. arms agreements due to concerns over reliability and security.

So far, Qatar has not publicly left the US orbit, but cozying up to China and admitting what everyone already knows, that it is in partnership with its fellow Muslim Brotherhood country of Turkey for control over the region, can be seen as key outcomes of the summit.

For years now, the Qatari-Turkish partnership has formed the nucleus of the emerging Sunni Caliphate in the Middle East. The Al-Thani family of Qatar and Erdogan of Turkey had already long ago divvied up roles in the rising Muslim Brotherhood empire. Qatar essentially props up Turkey’s economy, while Erdogan provides the industrial output and army for Qatar’s Jihad in the region.

However, Qatar’s ambitions extend far beyond the Middle East. The Al-Thani’s want Islam to be global. So to do that, Qatar’s money is spent on not only influencing the American and European left, but when it comes to the US, splitting the conservative movement between pro-Israel and anti-Israel factions. 

This can be seen openly on X on accounts like Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson. Whether Qatari money is directly behind them or not, the fact is, Qatari bots are promoting anti-Israel voices in the right-wing, the same way the Qataris infiltrated the left using the American universities.

Qatar’s strategy has always been to fund the Marxist-Islamist partnership (known as the Red-Green Alliance) to undercut American unity and support for Israel. Ultimately, it was a leftwing trans-activist, essentially a product of the Red-Green Alliance, who killed Charlie Kirk, and just when his assassination should have woken the country up to Qatar’s manipulation of Generation Z, the right continues its splinter with the Woke Right (or better called the Qatari right) diverting attention to Israel as the culprit.

Interestingly, Qatar’s manipulation of the American media, university, and conservative movement is exactly what those on the far right accuse Israel of doing. The result of all of this is a weakening of US support for Israel, as well as creating confusion and chaos on American streets.

Turkey Is Coming For The Holy Land

Turkey has made it clear that it wants to reassert itself over the Land of Israel and, as the main partner in the Qatari-backed Muslim Brotherhood caliphate, Erdogan’s Turkish Armed Forces (TAF) have been tasked with conquering the Jewish State.

A Turkish media outlet aligned with President Erdogan has disclosed a “target bank” of strategic sites in Israel that Turkey’s military would focus on in the event of a conflict with Israel.

As tensions escalate between Turkey and Israel, the outlet revealed a list of key military and strategic locations, including air force bases in Nevatim, Hatzerim, Ramat David, and the Tel Aviv suburbs, the ports of Haifa, Ashdod, and Eilat, the Tamar and Leviathan gas rigs, and the Dimona nuclear facility.

Israel has not been quiet as well, and in preparation for a potential conflict with Turkey, it has begun to shift anti-aircraft installations over to Cyprus, while increasing cooperation with both Greek and Cypriot armed forces. Alongside this, Israel has been bolstering its cooperation with Druze separatists in Sweida. According to reports, the Israeli government has been providing weapons and money to the pro-Israel Military Council in Sweida.

So is any of this enough to counter the Qatari-Turkish Muslim Brotherhood Caliphate? On the face of it, not at all - especially if the US fully descends into internal chaos and the coming generation is awash in anti-Israel propaganda. Israel must continue to strengthen its partnerships with Eastern European ethno-nationalist states like Poland, Lithuania, the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Austria. Alongside this, Israel should completely back Kurdish autonomy, if not full independence, in Syria.

Only a coalition of indigenous cultures in the Middle East and those Christian nations in Europe that have not yet succumbed to the Red-Green Alliance propaganda can counter the growing Muslim Brotherhood Caliphate. If not, Islam may be able to accomplish something it has never done in its 1400-year-old history – taking over the West – permanently.

Middle East Madness > Syrian torture doctor gets Life in Prison in Germany

 

German court sentences Syrian ‘torture’ doctor

to life in prison

Europe

A German court on Monday sentenced a Syrian doctor to life imprisonment for torture and war crimes in his Syrian homeland for killing two people and torturing nine between 2011 and 2012, under the Assad regime.

A German court on Monday sentenced a Syrian doctor to life in prison for crimes against humanity for torturing detainees at military hospitals under former ruler Bashar al-Assad.

The crimes committed by Alaa Mousa, 40, during the Syrian civil war were "part of a brutal reaction by Assad's dictatorial, unjust regime", said the presiding judge at the higher regional court in Frankfurt, Christoph Koller.

Mousa was accused of torturing patients at military hospitals in Damascus and Homs on 18 occasions between 2011 and 2012.

In one instance, Mousa was said to have set fire to the genitals of a teenage boy and in another case, to have delivered a lethal injection to a detainee who resisted a beating.

As well as crimes against humanity, the court found Mousa guilty of murder, torture and war crimes.

The defendant denied the charges in the trial, which came to a close a few months after Assad's ouster in December 2024.

Mousa arrived in Germany in 2015 on a visa for highly skilled workers at the same time as hundreds of thousands of Syrians were fleeing the civil war at home.

He continued to practise medicine in Germany, working as an orthopaedic doctor until he was arrested in June 2020.

A former employer told German media they knew nothing of his past in Syria's military hospitals, and that colleagues described him as "unremarkable".

'Slaughterhouse'

According to prosecutors, Mousa worked at military hospitals in Homs and Damascus, where political opponents detained by the government were brought for treatment.

Instead of receiving medical assistance, the patients were tortured and "not infrequently killed", they said.

In one case, Mousa was accused of pouring flammable liquid on a prisoner's wounds before setting them on fire and kicking him in the face so hard that three of his teeth had to be replaced.

He also allegedly doused a teenage boy's genitals in alcohol before setting them alight.

Other inmates were kicked and beaten, sometimes with medical tools, according to prosecutors.

During the trial, the court heard testimony from colleagues and detainees, who said they recognised the accused, according to German weekly Der Spiegel.

One former inmate said he had been forced to carry the bodies of patients who died after being injected by Mousa, Der Spiegel reported.

Another witness said the military hospital where he was held in Damascus had been known as a "slaughterhouse".

At the opening of the trial in 2022, Mousa told the court he had witnessed beatings, but denied striking patients himself.

The accused however said he was too afraid of the military police "in control" at the hospital to speak out.

"I felt sorry for them, but I couldn't say anything, or it would have been me instead of the patient," he said.

Germany has tried several supporters of Assad's regime under the legal principle of "universal jurisdiction", which allows for serious crimes to be prosecuted even if they were committed in a different country.

The first global trial over state-sponsored torture in Syria under the Assad government opened in 2020 in Koblenz, in western Germany.

The accused in the trial, a former army colonel, was found guilty of crimes against humanity and sentenced to life in jail in 2022.
