The Middle East Thread

The road to Damascus has been reopened and walked…

Yeah , what Aussielad says. A cheap phone maybe a $150 one , which is enough just to access the data. Tether that phone’s hotspot to your normal phone.

You can reuse that phone across all your visits to whichever countries you visit. maybe the phone can be cheaper as well.

And never opt for esim , that gets to be a whole different of possible surveillance

Even an old phone will work. Just carry both the ones , dispose of the sim when you are going out of Dubai.

The way I see it is that this won’t just be Dubai. This is likely spread over all the countries which offer this “convenience”

It gas gone eerily quiet in here, due to the latest bloody action the agents of chaos unleashed on Iran. But here is a fact: 37 humanitarian associations, among other Médecins sans frontières, had to leave Gaza on March first.

Another thing: the borders are closed again, ‘due to the ongoing security situation’.

The whole Middle East might be in turmoil, but don’t forget: a genocide is still unfolding, this time quietly away from the mainstream media reports…

Un-fucking-believable.

Entirely believable. They just made the mistake of getting recorded. Hardly the only case.

It’s should now be evident that Israel is slowly but surely expanding their territories to fulfil their Zionist dreams. They just need an excuse to enter Syria and anywhere else they feel is theirs.

They entered Syria last year (actually 2024) ?

This is their buffer zone, supposedly to be made permament according to their security people.

I wrote several posts about this at the time.
It was right after the fall of Assad, they allied with the Druze and etc. But it is hard to find old posts on this forum without pages to navigate properly, so I won’t be bothered to try to find my many old posts.

Yes I remember. They will end up with a massive security zone to colonise.

Hope not, but who knows…

'Israeli planes dropped leaflets over Beirut on Friday that urged Lebanese citizens to disarm Hezbollah, the Iran-backed militant group, a rare move that rattled residents who fear Israel may be preparing a large-scale ground invasion.

Some of the leaflets also referred to the Israeli invasion of Gaza, which the leaflets called “a remarkable success.”

Surreal.

Yes I know who this is. But lately he’s been taking time to do good interviews and ask good questions to relevant people. Not to absolve him of what else he has stated previously but at least to give him credit for some good work.
