The Ottoman Empire has this map https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/ ... isions.png . No mention of Palestine!

The Ottoman Empire was defeated in World War I (1914–1918), its lands were ceded to the victorious Allies who carved the land into new nations, which included Iraq, Lebanon, and Syria.

Under the Treaty of Sèvres (1920), the League of Nations formally gave control of Palestine to the British government. Britain’s job was to implement the Balfour Declaration, which had been signed five years earlier, stating Britain’s desire to create a homeland in Palestine for the Jews. British control over this territory lasted from 1923 to 1948.

We all know that Israeli intelligence and defense broke down when Hamas attacked Israel. There was a barrage of missiles shot by hamas against Israel civilians. Naturally questions are being asked about Israel intelligence and its Iron Dome. Are there lessons for Bharat? Air marshal G. S. Bedi discusses ..

Three law students who backed Israel letters lose job offers
Mike Wendling, BBC News, 10/19/2023

An elite law firm has rescinded job offers for three Ivy League students associated with letters expressing support for Palestinians that blamed Israel for the Hamas attacks.
Davis Polk & Wardwell said the views "are in direct contravention of our firm's value system".
It added that student leaders who signed onto the statements are "no longer welcome in our firm".
The students, who have not been named, attend Harvard and Columbia.
However, an email sent by the managing partner, Neil Barr and seen by the BBC, indicates that a door has potentially been left open for a reversal of the decision.
It said the firm was talking to two of the students "to ensure that any further color being offered to us by these students is considered".
The decision on Tuesday by the firm - which employs around 1,000 attorneys and has annual revenues of $1.7bn (£1.4bn) - comes as the views taken by US university students about the conflict in the Middle East continue to cause controversy on and off college campuses.

@2:27 Canadian CBC news presenter says:

"Now let's be very careful with this question of BLAME. Because the truth is it's impossible at this point for any news organization to independently verify any claim on either side."


Ohhh, when it comes to Nijjar's death, then accusation can be reported as fact, without any corroboration whatsoever!
But that's just because it's worthless backward India being accused.

When it comes to important countries like Israel, maximum delicacy must be shown in dealing with accusations and controversies.

Vivek Ramaswamy has some dharmic blood in his veins and he is using "Shraddha" to guide him, not blind "Bhakti" of the neocons or republican party or Presidents like Biden or even "Israel". No blind regurgitation of standard lines of the flock, just pure logic, pure understanding and what is good for "America". Only "Shraddha" can guide you which is what Sri Krishna in the BhagavadGita exhorts a person to do. This is what is needed in crisis mode. Israeli PM Ben Netanyahu can ponder upon what Vivek said and take a perspective which will be good for Israel. The alternative can lead to a rat-hole of problems and issues which can be intractable. Getting rid of Hamas is rather an uphill task because version 2 will spring up just like that. The alternate would be for Israel to rid any vestiges of Hamas and govern the place which given the population numbers will be another uphill task. Kudos to Tucker for this interview.

Netanyahu has goals - and they're far more ambitious than just eliminating Hamas.
Here he makes the mistake of speaking too candidly:

Probably the agreement for a West Bank Palestinian state but Ramallah as capital than Jerusalem

How do they wish to abolish caste? It’s not a law or statute that you can repeal in parliament. Typical green meets red propaganda.

You already are showing your elitist, patriarchal, brahminical, capitalist, anti-dalit, anti-muslim, anti-minority, anti-gay, anti-galactic, caste oppressive, privileged mentality by asking a perfectly normal question. Instead of just accepting the bizzare statement that triggered your question as fact.

This linking of India with everything bad has been going on for a while. The Germans adopted the swastika ( they had the hakenkruz - hooked cross) and Nazi germany has always been associated with the nasty swastika symbol. The swastika symbol is sacred to Vedics and Buddhists for thousands of years. Now the Vedics/Buddhists are tarnished because a madcap adopted the symbol for their wars in Euroland. Before this was the Aryan invasion theory thrust upon India. Now, the wokes/left a-holes are trying to associate caste (which is a portuguese term) with all things dominating, bad and oppressive. There is a concerted effort to pin all blame on India and its systems. First it was Aryan, then swastika and now it is casta (created by the Britshit census of India which converted varna to casta). No one talks about the mayhem, murder and chaos being committed in the name of the peaceful. How ironic. The left/wokes are in a media warfare by linking in brahmin/israel/swastika/aryan etc and tar them wholesale while committing murderous acts and terror.

Smearing the heathens and non-believers. They have been doing it for 2000 years. Their impulse is religious. They did worse with Jews. (Can't blame them as church catches them early and indoctrination against the heathen begins by the time they are 5 years of age. By the time they are adults, they are automatons, incapable of independent thought. Communist regimes operate the same way.)

Banning all faiths that preach hatred of non-believers will be a big step towards world peace.

This YT (23:00 onwards to 34:00) has Dr. Michael Rubin from the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) who gives a good perspective on a) Israel/Gaza/West Bank and other finer details of the various tussles with Palestine b) middle east players c) american political considerations - (talks about Greeks (pissed off with Turkey) in districts of US who can swing results into the republican wave) d) Iran

Added: Dr Rubin says that the Hamas leadership hiding in Qatar are involved in negotiations for the hostages that Hamas is holding in Gaza strip.

Israel has said that the evidence of Hamas having used North Korea made missiles has emerged. North Korea won't take a breath without getting approval from the CCP. The failed rocket on the hospital was of North Korea origin.

Hindus in North America may have several hundreds of billions in assets. The 30 million diaspora may be worth almost twice that.

That buys a lot of endowed chairs and politicians. Indians need to and will use this money muscle when India itself is a major force in the world economy.

NYT will self censor to sensibilities much as they have for China.


I well remember when the overseas Chinese started to make a major economic and technology impact in the US. I recall being a little wistful about Indians in the west.


Well they are eating the overseas Chinese’s lunch.

Mean while a tragi-comedy from the socialist communist heaven, Kerala.
Kerala firm suspends uniform supply to Israeli police citing moral grounds
One Malayalam news paper had first reported of this other wise unknown firm being a steady supplier for Israeli forces for many years. I had the gut feeling that this report was a dog whistle for the commies & peacefools to try their silent threats. And it has worked. So;
1. Mariyan Apparel factory loses a steady business to uphold their secular credentials. The owner/management are X'ians.
2. The staff who may lose their job - all women - would most probably Hindus (and may be commies themselves).
3. The actual contract for supplying uniforms is taken by a company in Mumbai - who most probably would be Sindhis, Gujjus. They can easily outsource/sub contract with other apparel factories across India.

Israel has no loss, the Mumbai company has no loss; while it is all loss for KL based X'ians and Hindus that too for some peacefools in a far away place.

White House deletes photos of special forces aiding Hamas hostage situation one hour after posting
The US government has apologized for accidentally revealing the identities of some of its special forces who were sent to Israel to assist in the hostage rescue mission.

The White House posted a photo on its official Instagram account showing President Joe Biden shaking hands with a member of the Delta Force, the Army’s elite counter-terrorism unit. The photo also exposed the faces of three other Delta Force members and a distinctive tattoo on the arm of the soldier greeting Biden.

bala saar,



hakenkreuz = = hooked cross
Even now Germans say "hakekreuz". They do not say swastika.
The association with swastika and tarnishing is all due to the angrez and umreeki. They could have continued to call it hooked cross. However swastika was popular in America pre WW2. So can't say if it was deliberate maliciousness
