🇺🇸🇵🇸🇮🇱⚡- "Americans First," - Yaron Avraham Israeli military journalist for Channel 12, on the release of Israeli-American Idan Alexander from Hamas captivity.


🇺🇸🇵🇸🇮🇱⚡- "Israeli-American hostage Idan Alexander refuses to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu," - Israeli Channel 11.
Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by Vl3ly: 7:44pm On May 13, 2025
🇺🇸🇮🇱⚡- "Trump has largely abandoned Israel.

Trump is prepared to move forward with a civil nuclear deal with Riyadh even if Saudi Arabia holds off on normalizing relations with Israel. For Israel, that may be unsettling.

Over the weekend, it was revealed Trump was in talks with Doha officials about a potential deal for Qatar to loan the US a jet to replace Air Force One. Israeli supporters have long been skeptical of Qatar, claiming it has ties to Hamas," - Fox News.

🇺🇸🇮🇱⚡- "Trump, to a large extent, basically threw Israel under the bus. The Israeli government is puzzled, embarrassed, particularly in the context of the Houthis," - Avi Melamed, former Israeli Intelligence Officer.
Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by Vl3ly: 7:45pm On May 13, 2025
🇱🇾⚡- BREAKING: Abdul Ghani al-Kikli, senior officials of the Tripoli-based Government of National Unity, has been assassinated.
Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by Vl3ly: 7:55pm On May 13, 2025
🇺🇸🇹🇷🇮🇱⚡- "There is a potential for renewed tension between Israel and the United States over Washington's intention to sell F-35 fighter jets to Turkey, which Tel Aviv considers a threat to its military superiority in the region.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed his opposition to the deal during a closed session of the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee.

It noted that these concerns come amid the growing rapprochement between Ankara and Washington, coinciding with an escalation in Turkish 'anti-Israel' rhetoric," - Israeli Army Radio.
Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by Vl3ly: 7:58pm On May 13, 2025
🇵🇸🇮🇱⚡- BREAKING: Benjamin Netanyahu, Israeli Prime Minister, to the newly mobilized IDF reserve forces:

"In the coming days, we will enter Gaza with all our might to complete the move and subdue Hamas.

Hamas may say, "We have had enough - we are ready to release ten more hostages." Okay, release them, we'll take them, but then we'll enter war again.

There will be no way we will stop the war.

We can make a temporary ceasefire for a certain time, but we're going to the end, the complete end.

There is one problem - we need countries that accept immigrants. We are working on that right now. I think more than 50% of Gazans will leave."

🇺🇸❌🇮🇷❗️ — POTUS Donald Trump about the Iranian Regime's threats:

Iran CAN have a much brighter future — but we will NEVER allow them to threaten America and our allies with terrorism or a nuclear attack.

The time is RIGHT NOW for them to choose.

Any one with a iota of knowledge on the issues of terrorism in India and India administered Kashmir, need no further indices on the atrocities of the Pakistan authorities..
I'll do my own research on that

For now, I think Pakistan's call for an independent investigation is fair. A credible and neutral party should investigate

🇺🇸🇮🇱⚡- "I think we will have to wean ourselves off American security assistance," - Benjamin Netanyahu, Israeli Prime Minister, told his Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee today, reported by Israeli Channel 13's Yuval Segev.
This'll only happen when AIPAC and the tons of israeli lobby groups stop existing...certainly not anytime soon

🇺🇸🇵🇸🇮🇱⚡- "One could say with caution, this is an American-Hamas agreement. Here too, Israel was a supporting player.

Unlike the agreements with the Houthis and the Iranians, here there are Israeli citizens whose lives depend on it immediately," - Yaron Avraham, Israeli journalist for Channel 12.


🇺🇸🇵🇸🇮🇱⚡- "What is the long-term damage from the fact that it is the United States that releases the hostage, not Israel? Do foreign passport holders have priority over Israeli passports only?" - Amit Segal, Israeli journalist for Channel 12, on the release of Idan Alexander]



🇺🇸🇵🇸🇮🇱⚡- "With this direct and unprecedented agreement between Hamas and the US administration, Trump not only slapped Netanyahu in the face, but also granted Hamas unprecedented legitimacy and victory since the beginning of the war," - Israeli Channel 12.

🇺🇸🇵🇸🇮🇱⚡️- Israel will not release Palestinian prisoners in exchange for the release of Idan Alexander.
There's a leaked audio of trump admitting that the Palestinians are more for peace than the Israelis

He explicitly mentioned he thought Palestinians were the problem until he met Mahmoud Abbas and then later spoke with netanyahu

From the encounters, it became clear to him that Palestinians were more open for peace than israel...but seeing that zionists control the U.S, he has toe the Israeli line
Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by Bigsam99: 8:48pm On May 13, 2025
Well, you are Indian so it makes sense to be on your country's side. I am not a supporter of either India or Pakistan and definitely hates terrorism whether committed by Moslims, Christian's or Jews.

I don't have enough information to exonerate Pakistan neither do I believe India is 100 percent truthful. There is always a certain level of propaganda in state narratives.

I do agree that the Pakistani govt has too many accusations of funding terrorists, alongside the United States.

My major point is that it will be myopic to paint this as a religious crisis just because the culprits are Moslems.

DeathParade:
I have no clue what shitshow has been going on in this thread and why. Its perfectly clear that:-
1.) Terrorists targeted non-muslims in the Pahalgam attack. There is no dispute about this, every single eye witness gave the same testimony.
2.) Pakistan has been attacking India through LeT and JeM. TRF is just a mask, not some splinter group, of LeT. All of these are protected, financed and trained by the Pakistan Army and ISI.
3.) Indian Intel intercepts and sources about how Pakistan is involved in the terrorist attack in Pahalgam will be presented by India at the UN.
4.) India had allowed Pakistan to join investigations of many previous terrorist attacks on Indian soil. For example, the Pathankot airbase attack in 2016. Here it is stated on record the details on the official Indian foreign ministry website, the answer to a question asked in the Indian parliament about the same issue. Read: https://www.mea.gov.in/lok-sabha.htm?dtl/26689/QUESTION_NO614_INVESTIGATION_INTO_PATHANKOT_ATTACK

Honestly, at this point, wondering whether Pakistan is the one that carried out any terrorist attack in India is akin to questioning whether the earth is round or flat. Only two types of people engage in this kind of questioning:-
1.) Naive people who have never actually studied the Kashmir terrorism since the 1990s.
2.) Terrorist sympathizers.

If people on this thread that are raising this question belong to category 1, my answer should at least give them pause. But if they're from the category 2, then I don't plan on engaging their drivel. Terrorist sympathizers are evil.

Being open for peace and peaceful aren't the same thing

Palestinians are as peaceful as israelis are to them, but they're more open to peace than the israelis are

There has been some chatter about a rift between Trump and Satanyahu.
I will defer any commentary until the conclusion of his trip to the Gulf.

-Lord
There was always going to be a rift. One of Trump's pre election campaign points is to bring peace to troubled spots across the globe. But Netanyahoo is hell bent on a war with Iran and the complete destruction of Gaza. It's either Trump at staus resolute to his no-war mantra or bent to the neocons war machine quest for a large-scale hot war. The following months will tell.

The counterpoint is that Trump is putting on a show for the Arab audience.
The rift, or at least the appearance of one, serves to downplay his culpability in Satanyahu's continued war crimes.

By July/August, he could flip the script on everything.
Houthis, Iran, Gaza, SA nuclear negotiations.

Be that as it may, Trump is using this opportunity to reinforce the persona that he is beholden to no one.
He is also undoubtedly relishing the opportunity to publicly stick it to Satanyahu.

Hi sire, are you trying to paint the picture that all isn't really well between Trump and Netanyahu?

That is the current narrative.
American and Israeli media are signaling a Netanyahu-Trump schism.

To put this in perspective, Israeli media reported that one of Waltz (the former NSA) infractions that contributed to his firing was his close coordination with Satanyahu on Iran strike options at a time when Trump was still mulling a diplomatic resolution.

⚡IBRAHIM TRAORÉ:

[How do you explain the decline of French influence in the region—not just in the Sahel, but also across West Africa?]

"I think they themselves contributed to their own decline.

Because they still view our relationship through a paternalistic lens.

Whenever we take an initiative—someone immediately says it’s Russia’s influence.

Everything we do—'it’s Russia.'

Why are they so blind?

So—Africans are incapable of developing ideas on their own?

Of inventing, innovating, taking initiative?

That’s exactly what we are fighting against.

As long as they see Africans as subhumans, incapable of thought or innovation, there will never be genuine friendship.

Times have changed.

And they must change too.

It’s the very perception they still have of Black people.

They need to let go of that.

Because treating us this way means they still see Black people as subhuman.

And that’s dangerous.

They must change their language."


[But how does this attitude reveal itself?]

"Just listen to their speeches.

Even the French President constantly says African youth are being 'influenced by Russia.'

He says it openly.

And Western media? They spend all their time lying.

Today, the AES is emerging as a model—and they can’t stop talking about Burkina Faso and AES all day long.

Every time, they spread misinformation to divide and manipulate youth.

But it doesn’t work anymore.

I think people are waking up.

And you too are victims of these same people.

Look at what they say about Russia.

Even today, some young Africans still believe their lies about World War II.

I heard someone say that right after the war, if you asked Europeans who won, they said 'Russia.'

Today, if you ask, they say 'the West.'

Through propaganda, they’ve rewritten history.

And they’ve done the same to African history.

They’ve manipulated everything—turned lies into accepted fact.


And now, many young Africans don’t even know what Africa has done.

Some don’t know that our grandparents were sent to the frontlines as cannon fodder—then killed like animals when they came back.

Do people know that when France tested its first atomic bomb, it placed Black soldiers within the lethal blast radius—just to see the effect?

Let’s bring out the archives.

What they’ve done to Africa—it’s horrifying.

We need to communicate all this, so young Africans wake up.

Too many still serve the imperialist message.

They repeat what they’re told—maybe because they’re paid, I don’t know.

But Africans must understand their history and wake up.

That’s our fight too."

⚡India intends to purchase a new batch of S-400 air defense systems from Russia after effectively using these systems during the recent Operation Sindoor.

The S-400 systems purchased from Russia played an important role in the confrontation with Pakistan, said Indian Prime Minister Modi.

New Delhi has access to new and advanced technologies that Pakistan cannot resist, he stressed in this regard.

The contract for the supply of S-400 was signed in October 2018; five regimental sets cost India $5.43 billion.

oh sorry

Your "leak audio" said "Open to peace" instead of peaceful.....I am sorry

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
So according to you, in a hostage situation the police/army need to be "open to peace" to get back the hostage.

Or better, the open to peace side fire rockets into the violent side home, or carry out knife attack on the violent side without provocative........and the violent side should stay silent because I don't understand your logic.
