There were a lot of highlights in 2023 for Celtic fans; winning a treble, dominating the derby and playing some good football. Some cracking goals too. The year began with Maeda and Kyogo scoring at Ibrox and ended with Kyogo saving the best till last...
🇮🇱 Former Israeli Soldier Breaks His Silence on Raiding Homes of Palestinians: "Made Sure the People in the House were Innocent"
Transcript:
"We would open up the maps and look at the specific house that looked into the right place that we had to enter a city center or a road. And after we would verify that the house has the best parameters, windows and geographical area, we made sure the people in the house were innocent.
It so we would enter a house of an innocent Palestinian home in the middle of the night.
But I would say that what motivated me eventually to break my silence was the piercing eyes of young Palestinians when I was barging into their house in the middle of the night. I could always justify it to myself. But those eyes, the anger, their fear, was what eventually helped me overcome that.
A house of a physician in Nabilus, for example, that I entered in the middle of the night, taking him, his wife and his daughter and pushing them in a room if they wanted to use their bathroom or their kitchen or use their phone, they need permission from me.
That specific house in Abelis stayed with me for a while because that physician himself was kind enough and generous enough to sit down and explain to me what it means to be a Palestinian.
And I thought that I was a good moral soldier, but I was actually helping entrench the occupation in that sense."
This about a Tory MP called Johnny Minge who got the roasting of a lifetime because he chose to be a misogynistic twat online.
I’m considering making a Tory version of Guess Who with names that I’ve invented for them alongside crudely drawn offensive illustrations.
Happy 2024!
Of course Paisley was the scene of one of the more dramatic league finishes ever. Seldom has a goal 90 miles away from where Celtic are playing been more celebrated than Albert Kidd's for Dundee in May 1986...
BREAKING: ISRAELI SOLDIERS KIDNAP MORE CHILDREN AND BABIES
The Israelis detained Rushdi, his wife and 2 children.
He children were aged 4 and there was a 6 month old baby.
After being detained for 25 days, the father was sent back to Gaza but the whereabouts of his children are unknown.
Michelle Mone's husband Barrowman has issued a "statement" this morning after @thetimes report showing the National Crime Agency is investigating a £3 million payment into Mone's Coutts bank account, which would prove her direct benefit from the PPE Medpro contract as well as indirectly through trusts.
The statement is full of "look over there", fundamental lies (we saved the govt £100 million - they didn't) & obfuscation. Who'd have thought it?
Obfuscation is where he doesn't mention that he didn't declare his interest on company filings- nowhere on the Companies House declarations at the time.
She didn't declare her interest on official documents, she lied consistently (par for the course), threatened press with libel, lied to her lawyers, lied about her lawyers "they told me to lie" - they didn't.
Now their defence about getting £65 million profit and pandemic profiteering is saying
"I'm not the only one who robbed the public, they're picking on me, it's not fair"
There is so much which needs to be investigated with other companies too. We've been saying this for a long time.
@RachelReevesMP has promised a Covid CORRUPTION Commissioner to investigate them if Labour win the next election.
More to follow with data.....
Don't forget to follow "The VIP Files" with @GoodLawProject and I here.
We have access to huge amounts of data through FOIs and are putting it together about numerous contracts given through the infamous VIP Lane.
It's a Tory mess which stinks and they're still trying to hide a lot of the evidence.
@ShaykhSulaiman We asked Politicians, courts, and the UN to stop the genocide in Gaza. They said no.
2024, mut be the year that 3 billlion civilians take some direct action to stop the actual genocide.
We cannot allow Israel to continue bombing unarmed. children and women.
Finally! This is the best video we recorded this year and will take some topping.
The half time against Rangers at Hampden. The fans kept singing until the players came back out. Never seen anything like it!
Goldson has done Bernardo and then tried to get Bernardo sent off.
Bernardo was booked early in the first half for celebrating his goal.
The logic is Bernardo should have been sent off for scoring and receiving studs to his knee?
This was a red & should have been looked at.
🇵🇸🇮🇱 The founder of Hamas, Sheikh Ahmed Ismail Hassan Yassin, said:
"We don't hate Jews and fight them because they are Jews.
Jews are people of a religion, and we are people of a religion.
We love all people of different religions.
My brother even if he is my brother and he is a Muslim,
If he steals my house and kicks me out, I will resist him."
The report also overlooked, as part of its complicity with Zionist propaganda, the live testimonies of Palestinian female prisoners who were kidnapped from Gaza and the West Bank after the aggression, which confirm that they were subjected to verbal and physical sexual harassment by the Zionist occupation soldiers, and who receive advice and guidance from the Chief Rabbi of the Zionist army and other rabbis who openly claim To the rape of Palestinian women in Gaza, and they wrote about it in Zionist newspapers.
In conclusion: We demand that the newspaper apologize for this professional sin, delete the article immediately, and stop adopting Zionist propaganda and lies, so that it maintains its professionalism and reputation as a reputable and respected international newspaper. 2/2
BREAKING: HAMAS LEADER OFFICIAL STATEMENT
“We regret to say that most of the major Western media have gone beyond the idea of siding with Zionist propaganda to colluding with this propaganda by spreading lies and slander against the Palestinians and their resistance.
The latest of these misleading reports was what was published by the New York Times about allegations of rape and sexual violence by Palestinian resistance fighters during the blessed Al-Aqsa Flood operation on October 7, under the title “Screams Without Words: How Hamas Used Sexual Violence as a Weapon on October 7.” By Jeffrey Gittleman and others.
We also announced and stated in advance that we categorically deny these allegations, and consider them part of the Zionist attempt to demonize the resistance and justify war crimes, genocide, and ethnic cleansing that the Zionist enemy is practicing against our Palestinian people in all locations of its presence.
The writer relied only on testimonies from Zionist government employees who would only speak in the context of official Zionist propaganda and what serves the goals of demonizing the Palestinian people. He also quoted testimonies from women who reported news they heard from others, and all that was mentioned does not indicate in any case the existence of a single piece of evidence. Any of our people carrying out these shameful acts.
The claims and allegations of the New York Times contradict the testimonies given by many Israeli women, who spoke of the kind treatment they received from Palestinian fighters on October 7; Any professional person keen on objectivity can easily access those testimonies found on social media platforms, which they gave to Israeli media and did not mention any of these allegations mentioned by the New York Times.
In addition, the testimonies of all the women who were detained in the Gaza Strip and who were later released did not mention anything other than the good treatment they received from those who detained them. Rather, they emphasized in all their testimonies the resistance fighters’ keenness to protect them and provide what they could to alleviate the difficult conditions they went through. They talked about the high human values that they sensed among the resistance fighters all the time.
Our fighters are fighters of freedom and dignity and cannot commit such shameful acts. Our Islamic religion, our national values, and our societal culture do not accept such shameful acts. Here I would like to point out that according to statistics approved by the Palestinian Supreme Judicial Council in Gaza, not a single case has been registered before the courts on charges of rape.
Our Palestinian resistance fighters on October 7 had one main task before them, which was to defend our people against an unjust occupation and break this suffocating cordon on our people in Gaza, represented by the Gaza Division of the Zionist army, and this is what they succeeded in accomplishing with all manliness and honor.
Also, Operation Al-Aqsa Flood did not last more than several hours, after which most of the fighters withdrew from the Israeli military sites and returned to Gaza to complete their mission of defending their people against the fascist Zionist aggression.
We have affirmed on more than one occasion our readiness to receive international investigation committees in any incident, and the entity, instead of continuing to spread black propaganda to cover up its crimes, must announce its readiness to receive international investigation committees or go to international and international courts, if it relies on any facts and evidence in its narrative. Prove what he says is true.
Here it must be pointed out that the New York Times deliberately overlooked that all the crimes committed on the night and day of October 7, which it claimed were committed by resistance fighters, were later proven by the Zionist media to have been deliberately committed by Zionist forces. 1/2
