Just learnt today that one of the commanders that Hamas facilitated the release of was a Samaritan (a branch of Judaism). He's essentially a Palestinian Jew

He was one of the commanders of the military wing of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP, which is the most hard-line Palestinian Resistance group

They're more hard-line than Hamas and Islamic Jihad and are a communist/Marxist group. They're so hard-line, that they reject acknowledging israel's existence, negotiating with israel and believe Israel must be completely eradicated only through armed violence

The group, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine was founded by a Christian Palestinian George Habash and is one of the eight Resistance groups fighting in Gaza

His name is Nader Saleh Mamdouh Sadaqa, a native of Nablus in the West Bank and this is his quote on why he fights:

"Military action was not my choice, but the choice of the stage (of the Palestinian struggle) – that stage in which we sought to express ourselves, and defend our convictions, principles, and the rights of our people,” Sadaqa was quoted by Al-Jazeera as saying
Which one is (a branch of Judaism)?😂😂
If he's a Samaritan then he's from the region of Samaria. You don't know that Samaritans have their own religious beliefs and scriptures? Abeg don't say this outside

Those are mere tales because the island in Japan Russia could not defend it and still came back to take it from Japan when Russia was ready same with other places

The game plan is to keep USA closer incase of war so they can hurt USA directly first

"Nader Sadaqa’s identity as a Palestinian Samaritan Jew is crucial to understanding his story.

The Samaritans are a tiny ethnoreligious group, often considered the world’s smallest, who live primarily on Mount Gerizim in the Palestinian city of Nablus and in Holon, Israel.

They are adherents of Samaritanism, a religion cognate with, but distinct from, mainstream Judaism. The Samaritans assert that they are the genuine descendants of the ancient Israelites, specifically the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh, who were not exiled during the Assyrian conquest in 722 BCE.

They hold their version of the Torah (the Pentateuch) as the sole holy text and believe it to be the original.

A core tenet of their faith is the sanctity of Mount Gerizim near Nablus, which they regard as the true holy site chosen by God, unlike the Jewish tradition that holds Mount Zion in Jerusalem as holy.

The Samaritans reject the Jewish religious canon beyond the Torah and believe they possess the original version of the ancient Israelite religion.

In the context of the Israeli occupation of Palestine, the Samaritans of Nablus have maintained strong, integral ties with the surrounding Palestinian society.

Addis Ababa is reportedly in talks with Beijing to restructure its Chinese loans from U.S. dollars to yuan, following Kenya’s recent decision to do the same.

If finalized, the agreement would make Ethiopia the second African country this year to formally shift portions of its debt settlement into yuan.

⚡The Dutch decision to take over the Chinese-owned semiconductor manufacturer Nexperia and oust its Chinese CEO came due to US pressure on the Dutch government - Reuters
emmaodet:
Is this really a good way of trading?
A country forcing another country to seize properties/investment of another country?
They did it to Roman Abramovich. Well, China has barred the exports of the firm's products from the country. Also, China has placed severe restrictions on the export of raw earth minerals and every Chinese-related technology involved in the mining, refining and distribution of raw earth minerals. They banned chip exports to China, they place Chinese companies on sanctions, they bar Chinese goods, but they don't want the same to be done to them? Jokers!

These people have met a greater force.[/quote]

Additionally, the Chinese branch has instructed staff in China, where 80% of the company's products are processed, to disregard any directives and instructions they receive from the Dutch office. You used a 70-year-old-plus law to seize a company that was loss-making from its new owners; now you are stunned that the company has retaliated. In the FT article I read, a good number of commentators made it look like the Chinese just stopped selling products, while some rightfully pointed out that it was the Dutch who started the issue by forcefully removing the CEO of the company. The Dutch expected the Chinese to sit back and watch their CEO removed and the company seized, because they are Dutch?

I am glad the Chinese are nobodies that can be tossed around. You do me, I do you. Now the Dutch commerce minister wants to meet his Chinese counterpart. Well, either the US removes Nexperia from its sanctions list or the company will eventually be divided with the bulk of its processing facilities in China.

That said, one opportunity I see is that other countries such as Brazil, those in Southeast Asia, South Asia and Africa become hubs for supplying goods and services to either side - the West or China. I can imagine the money Indian refiners made buying Russian crude and selling to Europe.

I am for nobody and I am for everybody should be our mantra going forward.

Interesting breakdown, Lord. It’s true that trade restrictions often end up hurting innovation and access to technology more than intended.

I think what’s really happening here is a global shift in how countries approach technological independence — especially in chipmaking, rare earth materials, and even software ecosystems. For example, more developers and users are turning to independent or open platforms outside the big Western tech ecosystem.

This kind of decentralization might actually speed up innovation worldwide, even if short-term trade barriers cause friction
