@tequieremos Stop judging. Come live here and learn how they treat one another. People are happy, they enjoy freedom, and women are safe. And which country has never faced bad times.? Even now people in the UAE have no complaints as they feel secure with the government and administration.

A true Kerala Story: In a crowd funding, thousands of Keralites cutting across religion and castes from India and abroad joined together, to successfully raise around ₹ 34 crore as blood money for the release of a Kozhikode autorickshaw driver sentenced to death in Saudi Arabia.
A story of Olives and Cactus:
“Wherever you see cactus, know there was a Palestinian village in that place ” . That’s what they tell you if you ever visit the West Bank. Israel has been removing, bulldozing , erasing villages and cities for decades to terraform the land . But the problem is , Cactus keeps growing back . No matter how they try to destroy the land and the soil and build their settlements , cactus keep coming back.
A friend of mine just came back from there carrying a gift for me : Locally squeezed olive oil from a her village in the West Bank . “Forget the commercial stuff you buy from stores. We squeeze oil in our own villages.”
They squeeze the olives on the stone mills, use clean dedicated straw bags to squeeze it on the extruding machines . Same process that has been done for 100,200, 400 maybe 600 years . As old as these trees. You take a product of the land , squeeze it to its limits and you get that pure green gold.
A healing potion of life .
“Just put some oil” is the answer for everything in Palestine. Hungry ? Add oil. A bit sick ? Rub oil. Want to feel better about the world? Oil as old as the earth is there for you. They are not just olive trees. They are family . They are there to feed you , heal you and take care of you. How can you uproot a member of the family and call this land yours ? I have no idea . The trees don’t agree with that . And cactus definitely don’t agree with that. Maybe we got it all wrong! Maybe olive trees are not just an extension of Palestinian heritage. Maybe, Palestinians themselves are an extension of the land . They are like the trees . You can beat them , you can pressure them , you can squeeze them and push them beyond any human limits. But they don’t die . Like crushed olives that produce green gold. And from death, a million lives will be born. And their pain will eventually be the healing potion for all of us.
And if you try to uproot them , they won’t go away . You think they will. But they come back. Like cactus . To defy you , to stand up for you , take your abuse and prick you back. They are there , to stay . Forever
I want to speak to the massacre now taking place before our eyes in Gaza.
We call for an investigation of the Netanyahu regime’s war crimes as well as the role of Biden and US leaders in aiding and abetting them. And above all, these crimes must stop now.

In 2009, Netanyahu developed a destructive, warped political doctrine that held that strengthening Hamas at the expense of the Palestinian Authority would be good for Israel / Dmitry Shumsky

How did they do it?
Operational Security: The media is wrong on calling the Hamas attack as a surprise. Hamas existed next door & next to the border fence. Hamas wasn’t in state of ceasefire with Israel. You can’t expect your enemy to pose like you or act like you. You lose when you expect the enemy to be like you. You win when you try to read his mind and think from his position. Other methods are just naivete and reinforcement of the comfort zone of the commanders. Seemingly Hamas exercised an unimaginable level of operational security. This level of operational security must have involved absolutely no use of electronics & ensuring vetting & security clearance of every single human being involved in the execution of the operation. One mistake could compromise the whole. One mole could lead to annihilation of the majority and abortion of the plan for revision at a very high cost.
Operational Silence: Hours prior to the attack either Hamas used encrypted devices or conducted silence above the norms and standards of the conventional special forces. They failed every Artificial Intelligence and electronic devices in the disposal of the IDF & Israeli intelligence services. If their communication devices devices have encryption, then the designers must have known the capabilities of the Israeli interception. A lot of work for fact finding commission – later on.
Maneuverability: There must have been a side scheme and a parallel plan of operation, an expendable one to keep the Israeli intelligence services glued to it. The expendable plan could not be fake either. Perhaps they had included all elements and factors necessary to make the expendable plan sound too interesting and too real for Israel. From an operational point of view, the operators of the expendable plan themselves must have thought it was real. You can’t say to a person that you are just a duck in the backyard. He must believe the mission. So, the expendable plan seems to have been used as diversion to shield and smoke screen the real one. Probably IDF is bombing all the points of the expendable plan which must have been aborted anyway. Is Hamas still hiding there? Esay to say NO.
Deception: The people in power, including NSA of the US Mr. Jack Sulivan, just a week ago were saying that the Middle East couldn’t be more stable compared to the last 100 years. “Appear weak when you are strong”. This all-time applicable and relevant principle of Sun Tzu seems to have been applied in its perfect form.
Clarification about my views:
I am not an expert or anything close to being an analyst on Middle East issues. I and we are victims of Pakistan backed terrorism & interference in my country for decades. Afghanistan has suffered beyond imagination & in there I have lost nearly 100 of my personal guards, colleagues and family members in attacks by the Taliban & allies planned and supported in Pakistan in the last two decades alone. Methods & principles of operations however could be the same. Sometimes methods of one group can be a template for another. The above is my observation. Also, from experience of interacting with the external intelligence services I can easily guess these methods are copied from classes & operational rooms of the Western countries. Too much google is risky.
N Ram (@nramind) speaks as it is (as he always does).
He says, News Click Received money from Neville Roy Singham. Singham is a Leftist, not a Chinese propagandist. The money was given to News Click from the more than $700 million he received from selling his company/business.
RBI and other agencies approved the transaction between Singham and News Click.👇
Come on Vivek, come clean, these kids did not go to watch your film after the release. They went for the FREE EXCLUSIVE screenings you organised with the help of Indian High Commissions and distributors across the USA and UK. I was shocked to see that the Indian High Commission in London held a screening of this film, they must have been given instructions by the higher command so it promotes the propaganda of the ruling BJP.
The BJP groups were invited to come and watch the film and they are the ones speaking on camera.
These people saying that we wouldn’t be alive if India didn’t make the vaccine shows they probably didn’t even watch the film because India’s vaccine unfortunately didn’t get the approval for various reasons. Getting someone in front of the camera to say something is not a difficult task, you know that well! I don’t think any sensible Indian will spend a penny to watch this film full of lies! Shame on you. #TheVaccineWar
I never cease to be amazed by the blinkers regularly put on by Western media. They are so quick to judge other countries, so blind to their own! This @BBC analysis says, "Western nations have condemned alleged extraterritorial assassinations carried out by countries such as Russia or Iran or Saudi Arabia. They will not want India to join that list." Hello? The two foremost practitioners of extra-territorial assassinations in the last 25 years have been Israel and the US! Any mirrors available in the West?
