Confirmed: Metrics show an ongoing disruption to Siberian internet provider Orion Telecom following a Ukraine Intelligence cyber op on #Russia Day. Orion is used by Russian security forces and the incident has sent a key uranium mining city offline

Ukraine's GUR completely disabled the Russian internet service provider Orion Telecom to celebrate Russia Day today. Data from @netblocks.

And the best army in the world is still struggling with starlink.

⚡Russia Forms Drone Force as Separate Military Branch.

Putin says Russia is creating a standalone branch of its armed forces dedicated to unmanned systems.

Putin added that the updated program will also focus on building a unified air defense system.

According to him, Russian air defense units have shot down over 80,000 aerial targets during the course of the ongoing “special military operation.”

FXtrader2025:
You are not trying to Establish any point you dont know what to say, Hypocrisy and double Standards is your Bread and Butter.

Can you tell me any Israel Leader Prio to 1948
Infact can you even point to anywhere on this Earth that bears the name Israel Prio to 1948?
Lets start from there
Moses, then Joshua, then several Judges from Samson to Deborah (a woman) and lastly Samuel.
Then Israel began to have kings from David to Solomon and during the time of Rehoboam (Solomons son), there was a division of Israel into two kingdoms called Judah (southern part of Israel) and Israel (northern part of Israel).
Both the Northern and Southern Kingdom of Irael were sacked at different times in history

Northern Kingdom (Israel):
Invader: Assyria (Tiglath-Pileser III, Shalmaneser V/Sargon II).
Timeline: Gradual conquest (734-732 BCE), final fall of Samaria (722-721 BCE).
Method: Deportation and scattering to Assyrian territories, with foreign resettlement in Samaria.
Cause: Chronic idolatry, political instability, and Assyrian expansion.
Result: Loss of identity (Ten Lost Tribes), Samaritan culture emerged.


Southern Kingdom (Judah):
Invader: Babylon (Nebuchadnezzar II).
Timeline: Deportations in 605, 597 BCE, final fall of Jerusalem in 586 BCE.
Method: Phased exile to Babylon, preserving community identity.
Cause: Idolatry, covenant unfaithfulness, and rebellion against Babylon.
Result: Exile for 70 years, return under Persia, retained Jewish identity.


The Babylonian exile lasted about 70 years (c. 586-516 BCE, Jeremiah 29:10), until Cyrus of Persia allowed the Jews to return (Ezra 1:1-4).

Israel remained till the time of Jesus where the Romans administered the whole area called Judea with Jerusalem as the capital.

However, Israel revolted against Rome (67–70 CE): Emperor Nero dispatched Vespasian, a seasoned general, with four legions (about 60,000 troops). Vespasian reconquered Galilee in 67 CE, capturing strongholds like Jotapata, where the rebel leader Josephus surrendered and later wrote Jewish War (Jewish War 3.7.3). Vespasian’s son, Titus, continued the campaign after Vespasian became emperor in 69 CE.
Siege of Jerusalem (70 CE): Titus besieged Jerusalem during Passover, when the city was crowded with pilgrims. Internal factionalism (e.g., Zealots vs. moderates) and famine weakened the defenders. After months of siege, Roman forces breached the walls, destroyed the Second Temple (August 70 CE, on Tisha B’Av), and razed much of the city (Jewish War 6.4.5-6.9.4). The Arch of Titus in Rome depicts the looting of the Temple’s menorah and sacred vessels.


Much of Israel were deported by Rome after this war and they found themselves dispersed through Europe while the remaining Jews were scattered throughout the land of Israel.

To prevent further rebellion, the Romans renamed the land of Judea to Palestine which was to spite the Jews as the Philistines were the historic arch enemy of Israel

This is the ORIGIN of the name Palestine.

From 135 CE to 1948, the land of Israel/Palestine was ruled by Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Crusaders, Mamluks, Ottomans, and British, each leaving cultural and demographic imprints.

Please advise
1. On October 7, Hamas murdered hundreds of innocent Israeli civilians
2. The built tunnels and bunkers under mosques, hospitals and civilian infrastructures
3. Hamas continues to fight Israel from these bunkers under civilian infrastructure


Please Advise as Israel demands the complete dismantling of Hamas?
Your selective outrage and loaded narrative betray either deep ignorance or willful dishonesty.

1. On October 7 – You refer to the events of that day without a shred of historical context. Israel has enforced a brutal, suffocating blockade on Gaza since 2007, turning it into the world’s largest open-air prison. It has subjected Palestinians to repeated massacres in 2008, 2012, 2014, 2018, and beyond—killing thousands of civilians, many of them women and children, long before October 7. If you're truly concerned about “innocent civilians,” start with decades of Israeli occupation, land theft, and war crimes.

2. Tunnels under mosques and hospitals? That’s the oldest Zionist propaganda trick in the book—accuse your victims of hiding among civilians, then bomb civilians anyway and shift blame to the resistance. Israel has bombed entire hospitals, UN schools, and refugee camps on live television—with or without tunnels. The “human shields” excuse is a coward’s justification for genocide. By your logic, any resistance against a technologically superior oppressor becomes illegitimate if it dares exist among the population it is trying to protect. That's immoral nonsense.

3. Hamas continues to fight from bunkers under civilian infrastructure—and Israel fights from F-16s, drones, and tanks provided by the U.S., killing tens of thousands, 70% of them women and children, leveling entire neighborhoods. Yet the burden of morality is placed only on the occupied, not the occupier. What moral code do you follow where the colonized must fight politely while the colonizer slaughters indiscriminately?

As for your question: "Please advise as Israel demands the dismantling of Hamas?"

Let’s be clear: Israel does not want just the dismantling of Hamas—it wants the erasure of all Palestinian resistance, political or militant, religious or secular. It demands silence and submission under occupation. If not Hamas, it would find another excuse. It bombed Gaza in 2008 before Hamas had full control, and it massacres Palestinians in the West Bank daily—where Hamas is not even present.

So here's the advice: stop preaching morality while defending apartheid. A state built on ethnic cleansing, expansionism, and collective punishment has no right to make moral demands. If Israel truly wants peace, let it start by ending its occupation, lifting the siege, and recognizing the humanity of the people it has brutalized for over 75 years.

Until then, resistance—armed or unarmed—is a right, not a crime.

Please name your sources for this long epistle.

The ancient kingdoms of Israel and Judah that you mentioned, were they the first people on the land?

Prior to 1948, both Jews and Muslims in Palestine carried a Palestinian passport. That is the name of that country and it has a majority Muslim population. Prior to 1910, 95 percent of Jews in Palestine were Arab Jews. The demand for a Jewish state started with the influx of European Jews who had no business being on that land.

The Jews and the Arabs were coexisting before 1948 as stateless people until the words of the prophet was remembered.

Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2236
Ibn 'Umar narrated that the Messenger of Allah(s.a.w) said:
"You shall fight the Jews. You will gain such control over them, that a rock will say: 'O Muslim! This Jew is behind me so kill him!'"

Mishkat al-Masabih 5414
He reported God's messenger as saying, "The last hour will not come before the Muslims fight the Jews and the Muslims kill them, so that Jews will hide behind stones and trees and the stone and the tree will say, `O Muslim, O servant of God, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him.' The only exception will be the box-thorn, for it is one of the trees of the Jews."

Sahih al-Bukhari 2926
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Messenger (ď·ş) said, "The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. "O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him."



Can you please ask why the "ethnic Palestinian Jews" were forced out of Gaza strip by the Israeli Government in 2005?
