>>208232 Its simmered down for now. They have been humiliated after they tried the same shit as the Israelis thinking that the Pakis wont retaliate and have been fliflopping their narrative so hard you wont believe it. First it was IAF went in 60km of Paki airspace killed 300. Later on it became that fired the missiles from a few kilometers inside the Paki airspace but dont know how many they killed. Now its that the IAF didnt even cross the LOC but fired from their own airspace and killed 35 people even though multiple international news agencies have disproved all their claim since day one. After downing of their jet by the PAF they have going around telling everyone that the wreckage of the plane Pakistan is showing in not the Indian Mig-21 but infact a Paki F-16 despite being proven wrong by everyone again.
>>208240 I dont know man they are fucking stupid that for sure. They even tried to spin the the peace gesture of Pakis when we returned their captured pilot as a victory claiming that Pakistan has cracked pressure.
>>208247 to be fair the narrative on Pakistan side was also changing first we claimed that we shot down 2 IAF aircrafts (with one falling in falling in our territory and the other in theirs) and captured 2 pilots later releasing a video of one of them and changing the claim to only one pilot in custody. Also the military said that no F-16 were used. The Indians suddenly showed a piece of debris with AIM-120C5 written/stamped on it thus proving that PAF did infact use F-16 (according to them this also proves they shot down the F-16 despite according to their own narrative the said jet was shot down over our side of the border and have yet to prove it).
>>208254 yeah but you were more consistent with your narrative since so far there are proofs of pilot capture and mig21 shot down yet india didn't manage to prove even 1 of their ridiculous claims the poo's supporters must feel really dumb now
>Verified: Breaking: Confirmed: Military source to me: A source in Damascus: The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) and Russian military are preparing to launch a massive offensive in the northwestern region of Syria, a source in Damascus told Al-Masdar News on Sunday.
According to the military source, the Syrian Arab Army, alongside the Russian Air Force, are preparing to storm and capture the 20 kilometer-deep deescalation zone that is situation between the Hama, Aleppo, Idlib, and Latakia governorates.
In particular, the Syrian Army’s first major targets in northwestern Syria will be the towns of Morek and Al-Latamnah in northern Hama and the Al-Ghaab Plain that is situated between northwest Hama and southwest Idlib.
The source said the offensive will be led by the Tiger Forces and they will be fighting alongside the 4th Armored Division and 5th Corps.
The Tiger Forces have led several major offensives in the past, including the operations to capture Palmyra, east Aleppo, East Ghouta, Daraa, and southeast Idlib.
The offensive is expected to be launched in the next two weeks as both the Syrian Arab Army and Russian military make their final preparations.
Despite the Syrian Army’s desire to launch this offensive, they may face heavy resistance from the Turkish troops that are currently positioned at 18 different observation posts across the demilitarized zone.
Turkey has made it clear they do not support any Syrian military operation in northwestern Syria; however, due to the recent expansion of Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham in this region, Ankara may find themselves at odds with their Russian counterparts over the future of this part of Syria.

>Envelopes Containing Anthrax Delivered to Major Tunisian Figures The Tunisian counter-terrorism agencies have revealed in their preliminary investigations that the envelopes delivered to politicians, journalists and syndicate members contained the Anthrax toxin.
This was the first terrorist plot of its kind in the country, they added.
Twenty public figures were targeted in this horrifying terrorist plot, including 10 prominent politicians, seven journalists and activists in syndicates and human rights, they continued.
Moreover, they said that the terrorist groups have shifted their tactics after security measures against them have limited their activity.
For years, they have relied on armed attacks, but they are now forced to resort to poisoning their victims, said the security agencies.
President of the Tunisian General Labor Union (UGTT) Noureddine Taboubi and assistant secretaries Bu Ali Mubaraki, and Sami al-Tahiri were among the targets, revealed “high-ranking” Tunisian media sources.
Sufian al-Sulaiti, a spokesman for the counter-terrorism apparatus, affirmed that the agencies will listen in the upcoming period to the testimonies of 15 of the targeted figures.
Furthermore, several terrorist group experts said that toxic substance letters is a method that has been adopted by several terrorist organizations in the past.

>>208433 Syrian Army offensive will target key town in northeast Idlib: source
Initially, the source said the Syrian Army was targeting the northern countryside of Hama and nearby Al-Ghaab Plain.
However, the source has since informed Al-Masdar that the Syrian Arab Army is preparing to mount an offensive at the key town of Saraqib, which is located just south of the Aleppo Governorate border.
Saraqib has long been a stronghold for the rebel forces in northeastern Idlib; its location along the Idlib-Aleppo Highway has made it an integral launching point for past Free Syrian Army (FSA) and Harakat Ahrar Al-Sham offensives.
As stated above, the elite Tiger Forces, alongside the Russian Air Force, will lead the offensive in northern Hama and the Al-Ghaab Plain, but it appears that if the Saraqib front is opened, the Syrian military will likely use their 4th Armored Division and Republican Guard units.
>>208432 >16 of those were fake names reported by the opposition btw ??? The missing Syrian service member was apparently captured by Ansar al-Tawhid, who beheaded him few minutes ago. The number of SAA casualties is now 17.

>>208622 the situation is a bit more clear. A pretty reliable guy in Idlib told me that #SAA shelled Morek town. Some shells fell close to a #Turkish observation post (less than 500 metres) but it was not directly targeted.
>>208650 >someone as if there was many "someone" up to the task guys says "this is the location of lower baghuz where the terrorist and their families are left, far from the claims that these are just regular civilians" then he goes on the the visible smoke that happening due to a recent bombing
also if you didn't know, tahtani is not a place, it means inferior/lower and fawqani means superior/upper so basically baghuz tahtani is the lower baghuz (as in in altitude/elevation) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Baghuz_Fawqani
>>208654 >as if there was many "someone" up to the task ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) >tahtani is not a place Mappers, including arabic speaking ones (albeit none from the pro-SAA crowd) imply that it is. The BBC arabic journalist embedded with Iraqi militias and the Iraqi militias themselves are filming the Huwayjat ad-Dandal neighborhood in the southern part of Baghuz and calling it Baghuz Tahtani whereas pro-SDF sources just calls it "the tent city in Baghuz". http://wikimapia.org/#lang=en&lat=34.445176&lon=40.968189&z=15&m=bs&gz=0;409479117;344350535;435590;0;0;122458 But yeah, since the Iraqis never filmed what's named Baghuz Tahtani on wikimapia, geonames and hoholmaps i guess that means there's no proof that either side controls it. Thanks for the translation and clarification.
>>208660 have you considered that it may refer to the position "at the foot of the baghuz mountain" (hence "baghuz lower" to talk about the city and not jabal baghuz) because i can assure you 100% that tahtani isn't a proper noun but an adjective to talk about the position of something as lower/under/inferior/down etc http://www.wordreference.com/aren/%d8%aa%d8%ad%d8%aa%d8%a7%d9%86%d9%8a
>>208706 Highly likely. >>208710 >maybe "down" because they're closer to the river thus lower in altitude Nah, the valley is consistently flat in this area.

>Iran hopes trade channel skirting U.S. sanctions will work within weeks
VIENNA (Reuters) - Iran hopes a new trade channel with Europe aimed at cushioning the blow of reimposed U.S. sanctions will be working within weeks, its deputy foreign minister said on Wednesday.
France, Britain and Germany have set up the new mechanism for non-dollar trade with Iran in response to Washington’s withdrawal from the landmark 2015 nuclear deal that lifted international sanctions against the Islamic republic in exchange for restrictions on its atomic activities.
U.S. sanctions aimed at crippling Iran’s economy and oil industry have resumed, placing the deal in jeopardy, though Iran has continued to comply with the accord so far.
“We hope that in the coming weeks Instex would become operational,” Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi told reporters after a quarterly meeting of parties to the deal, referring to the mechanism’s official name - the Instrument in Support of Trade Exchanges.
For that to happen, Iran must set up a counterparty to Instex that it can trade with. Araqchi said he hoped that would be done before the Iranian new year, which is in two weeks.
Washington has accused European powers of undermining its crackdown on Tehran by trying to break the sanctions.
Instex was conceived as a way to help match Iranian oil and gas exports with purchases of EU goods, but those ambitions have been toned down. Diplomats say that, realistically, it will be used only for smaller transactions such as purchases of humanitarian products or food.
Araqchi disputed that, saying it could expand over time.
“This is for all goods and commodities, not only humanitarian goods,” he said after meeting senior officials from Russia, China, France, Britain, Germany and the European Union.
“But maybe it starts from humanitarian in order to set the patterns for doing business with Iran. And once the patterns are set then other kinds of goods including sanctioned goods and oil of course would be added to this mechanism,” he added.
Iran has threatened to pull out of the deal if it does not receive enough economic benefits.
Araqchi said Instex was “a move in the right direction” but it was not yet clear how much it could achieve.
“It remains to be seen whether it can deliver the job when it becomes operational,” he said, adding that the concept could be copied elsewhere.
“We decided today to create working groups on different areas such as trade, energy, transportation etc in order to find similar mechanisms like Instex in other areas so economic cooperation with Iran can be expanded,” he said.
>'I only saw America killing": an IS widow's view of Syria's war
NEAR BAGHOUZ, Syria (Reuters) - Emerging from Islamic State’s last enclave in eastern Syria, a widow of one of the group’s fighters made no effort to hide her enmity toward the United States as she handed herself over to U.S.-backed Syrian forces besieging the area.
“This is not war. I did not see fighters, people taking up arms and waging jihad against America. No I only saw America killing - a lot,” French national Um Walaa’s told Reuters TV after being evacuated from Baghouz near the Iraqi border.
“...They used to say we (Islamic State) made the world scared, honestly I did not see this. I did not see that we terrorized the world.”
>Germany extending Saudi arms freeze to end-March: foreign minister
BERLIN (Reuters) - Germany said on Wednesday it would extend until the end of March a unilateral halt on arms shipments to Saudi Arabia imposed due to concerns about its role in Yemen’s war and the killing of a journalist, stretching the embargo beyond a March 9 deadline.
Germany’s coalition government is under mounting pressure from Britain and France, its partners in European defense projects including supplies of military equipment, to lift the ban or risk damage to commercial credibility.
Already worried about Saudi involvement in Yemen’s ruinous conflict, Germany’s coalition government agreed to ban future arms sales to Riyadh in November after Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi was murdered by Saudi agents in Istanbul. It also temporarily halted deliveries of previously approved kit.
“We in the government have decided to extend the export ban until the end of March, and we have done this with an eye on developments in Yemen,” German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas told reporters in Berlin.
“Not only will there not be any permits issued until the end of this month, but products with permits already granted will also not be delivered,” he added.
>Algeria war veterans back protests demanding end to Bouteflika's rule
ALGIERS (Reuters) - Algerian war veterans said protesters demanding ailing President Abdelaziz Bouteflika step down after 20 years in power had legitimate concerns and urged all citizens to demonstrate, in another sign of cracks in the ruling elite.
The ongoing unrest poses the biggest challenge yet to the Bouteflika and his inner circle which includes members of the military and intelligence services and businessmen.
“It is the duty of Algerian society in all its segments to take to the streets,” the influential National Organization of Mujahideen - veterans who fought alongside Bouteflika in the 1954-1962 war of independence against France - said late on Tuesday.
Tens of thousands of people have rallied in cities around Algeria in the largest protests since the 2011 “Arab Spring”, calling on Bouteflika, 82, not to stand in an election scheduled for April 18. He submitted papers on Sunday.
Some officials from Bouteflika’s ruling FLN party have turned up at demonstrations. Several public figures have announced their resignations in a country where personnel changes normally take place behind closed doors.
>Satellite images show buildings still standing at Indian bombing site
NEW DELHI/SINGAPORE (Reuters) - High-resolution satellite images reviewed by Reuters show that a religious school run by Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) in northeastern Pakistan appears to be still standing days after India claimed its warplanes had hit the Islamist group’s training camp on the site and killed a large number of militants.
The images produced by Planet Labs Inc, a San Francisco-based private satellite operator, show at least six buildings on the madrasa site on March 4, six days after the airstrike.
Until now, no high-resolution satellite images were publicly available. But the images from Planet Labs, which show details as small as 72 cm (28 inches), offer a clearer look at the structures the Indian government said it attacked.
The image is virtually unchanged from an April 2018 satellite photo of the facility. There are no discernible holes in the roofs of buildings, no signs of scorching, blown-out walls, displaced trees around the madrasa or other signs of an aerial attack.
The images cast further doubt on statements made over the last eight days by the Indian government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi that the raids, early on Feb. 26, had hit all the intended targets at the madrasa site near Jaba village and the town of Balakot in Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.
India’s foreign and defense ministries did not reply to emailed questions sent in the past few days seeking comment on what is shown in the satellite images and whether they undermine its official statements on the airstrikes.
MISSED THE TARGET?
Jeffrey Lewis, director of the East Asia Nonproliferation Project at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies, who has 15 years’ experience in analyzing satellite images of weapons sites and systems, confirmed that the high-resolution satellite picture showed the structures in question.
“The high-resolution images don’t show any evidence of bomb damage,” he said. Lewis viewed three other high-resolution Planet Labs pictures of the site taken within hours of the image provided to Reuters.
The Indian government has not publicly disclosed what weapons were used in the strike.
Government sources told Reuters last week that 12 Mirage 2000 jets carrying 1,000 kg (2,200 lbs) bombs carried out the attack. On Tuesday, a defense official said the aircraft used the 2,000-lb Israeli-made SPICE 2000 glide bomb in the strike.
A warhead of that size is meant to destroy hardened targets such as concrete shelters.
Lewis and Dave Schmerler, a senior research associate at the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation studies who also analyses satellite images, said weapons that large would have caused obvious damage to the structures visible in the picture.
“If the strike had been successful, given the information we have about what kind of munitions were used, I would expect to see signs that the buildings had been damaged,” Lewis added. “I just don’t see that here.”
Pakistan has disputed India’s account, saying the operation was a failure that saw Indian jets, under pressure from Pakistani planes, drop their bombs on a largely empty hillside.
“There has been no damage to any infrastructure or human life as a result of Indian incursion,” Major General Asif Ghafoor, the director general of the Pakistan military’s press wing, in a statement to Reuters.

A group of Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL/IS/Daesh) fighters were spotted by the pro-government National Defense Forces (NDF) attempting to travel through the desert region in eastern Al-Sweida last night.
According to a local source in Al-Sweida, the National Defense Forces quickly confronted the group of Islamic State fighters near the Dayatha area.
A fierce battle would ensue between the National Defense Forces and Islamic State fighters, resulting in the capture of one of the terrorist combatants.
The source said the Islamic State fighter was captured by the National Defense Forces after he sustained wounds during the brief battle.
The captured Islamic State fighter admitted to the Syrian military that some 200 terrorists are still hiding out inside the desert region of eastern Al-Sweida.
He added that these Islamic State fighters had taken refuge in the desert of eastern Al-Sweida after they suffered defeats at Al-Safa and Daraa.

>German Prosecutors Charge Tunisian Man, his Wife in Ricin Plo Federal prosecutors on Thursday charged a 30-year-old Tunisian and his 43-year-old German wife over an ISIS-motivated plot to use the toxin ricin to carry out a biological attack in Germany.
Sief Allah H. and Yasmin H., whose full names were withheld in line with local privacy rules, were followers of the extremist group's ideology, prosecutors said in a statement.
They bought thousands of castor beans and developed the toxin ricin to carry out an attack on a crowded public place in Germany. They also turned fireworks into explosives.
The husband also tried twice unsuccessfully to travel to Syria in 2017 to join ISIS as a militant. His wife helped him by buying plane tickets, booking accommodation and sending him money, the Associated Press quoted the statement as saying.
Sief Allah H. was arrested in June 2018 in the couple's Cologne apartment, where investigators found about 3,150 castor bean seeds and 84.3 milligrams of ricin along with bomb-making components. His wife was arrested a month later.
The seeds of the castor bean plant are naturally poisonous and can be used to create ricin. The substance kills the body's cells by preventing them from creating protein. A few milligrams are enough to kill an adult if it's eaten, injected or inhaled. Early symptoms include chest pain, breathing difficulties and coughing.
The husband is also charged with two further cases of preparing severe acts of violence, while his wife is accused of having supported him in both cases. Sief Allah H. is also charged with trying to join a foreign terrorist group.
In early 2018, the man also published ISIS propaganda material online about attacks and suicide bombings, the statement said.

The Islamic State group remains “unbroken,” a top American general warned on Thursday even as the group’s last remnants face near military defeat in their last holdout near Syria’s Baghouz.
"The ISIS population being evacuated from the remaining vestiges of the caliphate largely remains unrepentant, unbroken, and radicalized,” US Central Command’s General Joseph Votel told the House Armed Services Committee in Washington.
ISIS is corralled into a tent camp on the shores of the Euphrates River in Deir ez-Zor province. In the past weeks, thousands of women, children, and wounded militants have evacuated the town, surrendering to the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).
Though they are in a pitiful state – ill and hungry – and some foreign members have declared their regret at joining the group or minimized their involvement with ISIS in their pleas to go home, others have openly declared their so-called caliphate will continue.
“The Islamic State is in our heart. Even if they kill all of us, we love it,” an ISIS wife named Um Nuh told Rudaw.
Other women vowed to raise their children to embrace the ideology of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
Votel described the situation as not a surrender “but a calculated decision to preserve the safety of their families and preservation of their capabilities” while the militants wait for the right time to regroup.
"This will look very much like an insurgency. We will see low-level attacks. We'll see assassinations, we'll see IED attacks, we'll see ambush-type things as they begin to emerge from this,” he predicted.
This is already being seen in Iraq where ISIS was declared defeated in 2017. On Wednesday, six members of the Hashd al-Shaabi were killed in an ambush blamed on ISIS near Makhmour.
Votel warned US lawmakers of the need to “maintain a vigilant offensive against this now widely dispersed and disaggregated organization.”
The general’s comments come as the United States is preparing to withdraw the majority of its 2,000 forces from Syria.
Under pressure from allies worried that the departure would leave a security vacuum that could allow ISIS to reassert itself, US President Donald Trump was convinced to keep a reported 400 troops in the country. They will stay as “part of a multinational force in order to prevent ISIS resurgence and to support stability and security in northeast Syria,” Robert Palladino, deputy spokesperson for the State Department, said on Tuesday.
He declined to give details of who else would join the multinational force.

In the end though, ISIS supporters are so brainwashed that they swallowed the lie that America blew up the Nuri mosque despite the proof that it was blown up from within so i don't really think the lack of crying children will change their vision this dismantlement of the caliphate being literal sunni genocide.

So how effective were the turkish patrols yesterday? (I saw some pics and propaganda already) I thnk to remember some turkish official saying that this was done in part with Russian patrols, but I doubt that very much and haven't seen any proof either. Seeing as the bombing today doesn't seem any diffrerent than the last days/weeks, I assume this changed nothing. Is there a new deadline or Russia/Turkey/(Iran) meeting coming soon where something might come out from; like Idlib now? :) Is there any date to look out for in the near future that might cause serious habbening in Syria (like the new Trump thing where he wants 8? NATO nations to send troops to northern Syria to help stabilize it?) Idk, give me anything at this point.
ISIS claims 3 US soldiers killed in suicide attack in northern Syria
BEIRUT, LEBANON (6:40 P.M.) – The Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL/IS/Daesh) alleged on Saturday that one of their terrorists carried out a suicide operation against a convoy belonging to the Syrian Democratic Force (SDF) in northern Syria.
According to the Islamic State’s official media wing, the terrorist Abu Abbas Al-Shami carried out the suicide attack along the Manbij Highway in eastern Aleppo.
The Russian Air Force unleashed a massive attack across northern Syria, today, targeting several sites under the control of the jihadist rebels.
Led by their Sukhoi jets, the Russian Air Force repeatedly bombed the positions of Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham and the Turkestan Islamic Party along the Turkey-Idlib border this afternoon.
According to a military source in northern Hama, the Russian Air Force specifically bombed the jihadist positions inside the Jisr Al-Shughour District.
Jisr Al-Shughour has been under the control of the jihadist rebels since the Summer of 2015 when they launched an offensive to capture the district and the nearby Al-Ghaab Plain.
These Russian airstrikes come just a day after the Turkish military began patrolling the demilitarized zone inside the Idlib and Hama governorates.

>>209738 >>209734 The Russian and Turkish forces met in the northern city of ‘Azaz on Sunday to discuss the reopening of the imperative Aleppo-Gaziantep Highway.
According to a military source in Aleppo city, the Russian and Turkish delegations discussed removing all of the rebel checkpoints across the Aleppo-Gaziantep Highway in order to allow their forces to begin patrolling the area.
By removing the rebel checkpoints along the Aleppo-Gaziantep Highway, the Russian and Turkish forces could start to regulate traffic and preserve the security of the people driving through this roadway.
Furthermore, the Turkish forces met with the opposition forces in northern Aleppo to discuss having them to remove their checkpoints and barriers around the highway.
In turn, the Russian military agreed to remove their mines and checkpoints along the roadway from Aleppo to Tal Rifa’at.
If the Aleppo-Gaziantep Highway is reopened, this would be a major boost for the Syrian economy because it will allow residents to once again resume trade and commerce in Turkey.

Syrian Army attack leaves large field of smoke in southern Idlib (video)
BEIRUT, LEBANON (6:00 P.M.) – The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) unleashed a big assault across the southern countryside of the Idlib Governorate this afternoon.
Using their MLRS launcher, the Syrian Army fired several surface-to-surface missiles towards Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham’s defenses near the key town of Khan Sheikhoun.

BEIRUT, LEBANON (9:30 P.M.) – Syrian Deputy Foreign Minister Faisal Mikdad told the head of the United Nations Truce Supervision Organization (UNTSO), Christine Lund, this past week that Syria is prepared for a showdown with Israel over the Golan Heights region.
Mikdad warned Lund that Syria will respond with force if Israel continues to attack the country, as well as if the U.S. recognizes Israel’s sovereignty over the occupied Golan Heights.
“Syria will attack Israel if it does not leave the Golan Heights,” Mikdad told Lund, as quoted by World Israel News.
“We will not hesitate to confront Israel,” Mekdad said. “We are also not scared away by its [Israel’s] supporters who are helping to perpetuate the occupation of the Golan,” he added.
Mikdad’s comments were in response to a new bill that was presented by Republican Senators Ted Cruz and Tom Cotton, along with Democratic Party Representative Mike Gallagher, in regards to the U.S.’ recognition of Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights region.

Blue and white assessment: Trump will recognize the Golan Heights - to help Netanyahu
Senior members of the leading poll-led faction estimated that the US president would recognize Israeli sovereignty during the prime minister's visit to Washington in two weeks;
Senior members of Benny Gantz's Blue and White Party and Yair Lapid suggest that US President Donald Trump may recognize Israeli sovereignty on the Golan Heights to help Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the elections.
Three of Gantz's confidants told News 13 that the party believes that Trump may announce recognition of the Golan Heights during Netanyahu's visit to Washington in two weeks, and thus give the prime minister a political achievement that he can present to the voters.

Yeah yeah I meant "Arab", you and I have talked about the typical American's knowledge of race not equating to Islam, i.e. "Mudslimes arrr Ayyyrabs". >all arabs know they're related to jews and they don't care that was in essence, what I was wondering, if it actually mattered or was even acknowledged by Arabs. >it's like saying "how come brits and americans were hating each other and fighting each other for centuries when they're literally the same race" I wouldn't make that comparison for a few reasons. First it was hatred and rebellion against the Crown that spurred the hatred, there were no real racial or religious undertones that could be compared to the several thousand year strife between the ancestors of Arabs and Jews that has carried on to this day. But you answered my question, thanks.
Now to revisit something.... >“Take your son, your only son Isaac" it could be a matter of God's meaning by the phrase, at that time Hagar had already left with Ishmael, but even after that statement the Bible doesn't stray from mentioning Ishmael again and also naming him as Abraham's son, so if revisionism was behind it you would think that they would have either done a better job cleaning up the multiple times Ishmael is named as Abraham's son, or that they would have cut he and Hagar out completely. >it is believed in islam that jews have made many modifications to their holy books and Mohamed basically copied the holy books in 600, so didn't he do his own "modifications" to make the original stories Islamic?
>>210310 I wish it was just pizza, everything got expensive. >>210312 >shawarma Nigga i can't even think about meat based fast foods and kebabs. it costs too much even if you buy and cook it at home. Some people stand in long queues to buy cheap frozen meat that government import from brazil but i can't trust these people, i don't want to eat Regulus cum with my food.
>>210315 > i.e. "Mudslimes arrr Ayyyrabs". which is ironic considering arabs are a minority in islam and in muslims living in america (hell i think there are less arab muslims than african american muslims)
>I wouldn't make that comparison for a few reasons then what about french and brits, the centuries long conflicts had racial undertones and then religious undertones with the protestant/catholic divide >that could be compared to the several thousand year strife between the ancestors of Arabs and Jews that's where you're missing a point, the concept of nation and nationalism is fairly recent what you call a racial/religious conflict is what would have been the equivalent of modern nationalistic conflict back in the days where people didn't recognize themselves as citizens of a nation but did see themselves as part of a tribe/language/religion that would be a well defined line contrary to the the blurry concept of nations back in the days. as of today, had the conflict not started centuries ago, i could come and say, "well the conflict is purely on a national level considering the wars are against israel and not the jewish minorities living inside arabs countries"
>But you answered my question, thanks. you're not escaping that looming days long argument boi :^)
>so if revisionism was behind it you would think that they would have either done a better job cleaning up the multiple times Ishmael is named as Abraham's son, or that they would have cut he and Hagar out completely. this falsely assume that back in the days holy books existed as whole manuscripts and not mainly carried through oral tradition/loose partial scroll carrying only partially the religious texts (as in a few chapters only) and thus any alteration from a foreign elements had impact on all the source text who knows there probably are other modifications that failed to make it in what is now today considered the mainstream version of the book but again all of this is from an islamic bias/perspective so don't see it as much as an argument as only a theory from the muslim side >and Mohamed basically copied the holy books in 600, so didn't he do his own "modifications" to make the original stories Islamic? again this is a question of bias/perspective
>>210319 I thought about it before, leaving is off the table. >>210321 What do you mean? everytime meat gets expensive they import frozen cheap meat from brazil, i don't know why always brazil?

>>210333 >>oh no people (who? almost no one that doesn't already knows you is here) will make fun of my flag don't care about that, just don't wanna attract shitposters. maghrebi is already trying to shit up this place anyway.
>>210334 well for a change i'm not starving and i can afford meat. if it was that bad id seek refuge in wherever. this romanticized idea of staying no matter what when they can't afford basic shit is silly. it's just moral activism. no point.
>>210332 Because it's not that easy and it's not just me, everyone wants to leave. Our money has no value and i can't migrate, the only option is being a rapefugee(which is not an improvement to my situation)

>the only option is being a rapefugee(which is not an improvement to my situation) depends where? yeah trueky or pakistan won't be much of an improvment. but if you somehow manage to get to Germany and make up a sobstory i don't think they'll turn you down. and you get 2000EUR/m and a cozy place. i mean, at least won't you consider it? unless you other obligations of course family/work/whatever.
>i think you're overstimating it by basing it on reactions from 4chan, wost case scenario you'll get one autist that'll get tired after a few days. i did a few months ago and there were like 3 mutts nagging me. it's ain't worth it dawg.
>not being able to eat fast food isn't starving by non-amerimutt standards eh i meant in general don't have to think about food prices/grocery when i go shopping. which is funny because shit here is overpriced af, among the highest in the western hemisphere. cars and gasoline too (big problem in iran rn).
> it's not like we're talking about rats or insects here sure id lower my standards too. even tho i really like chicken.
>how come you don't feel any will to make sacrifices for your country/place you call home? is it genetic or previous bad experiences? legit asking because i always found the idea of nationalism stupid. you wrote earlier how nation states are a relatively new idea. no point for something i don't like anyways? i can't stand the people here (israelis/russians/arabs/hybrids all are shit), can't stand the weather, don't really love the food, and i don't feel any spiritual connection to this place whatsoever. so why should i be "loyal" to a place that hasn't done much for me. because i happened to be born here? nah screw that. I legitimately hate 99.9% of the people here. and i was never religious too so i don't care about that "shared bond" aspect too.
>>210351 >and make up a sobstory extra point for being openly anti-islam to catch the support of the "le based shitskin with a maga hat" cuck-right that stands for israel against da evil iranian terrorists regime >i meant in general don't have to think about food prices/grocery when i go shopping ayo hol up, have been an iranian/broke all this time? not even shitposting i thought it was the norm >because i always found the idea of nationalism stupid it's not just nationalism, it's the feeling of belonging to a group, be it race/religion/language, it's part of a healthy identity (at least in my opinion) >you wrote earlier how nation states are a relatively new idea indeed but the concept of belonging is nothing new >(israelis/russians/arabs/hybrids all are shit) you wrote hybrids three times :^) > I legitimately hate 99.9% of the people here are you, may allah forgive me for uttering these words, a neckbeard/NEET? > can't stand the people here (israelis/russians/arabs/hybrids all are shit), can't stand the weather, don't really love the food, and i don't feel any spiritual connection to this place whatsoever. so why should i be "loyal" to a place that hasn't done much for me. because i happened to be born here? nah screw that. >i was never religious too so i don't care about that "shared bond" aspect too. understandable, but what about the racial aspect?
>>210364 whops, forgot to tag you in the prev post.
>extra point for being openly anti-islam to catch the support of the "le based shitskin with a maga hat" cuck-right that stands for israel against da evil iranian terrorists regime kek, dangerous idea if he still has family there. better lay low, grow a beard, and appear as poor as possible. and don't speak English too good, they wont believe you.
> not even shitposting i thought it was the norm you know what i mean. if he has to give up on basic items and can't geed himself properly its time to think outside the box.
>it's not just nationalism, it's the feeling of belonging to a group, be it race/religion/language, it's part of a healthy identity yeah, i get it. i just never felt too "connected" to my fellow people. maybe because i grew up in a small town that preached against nationalism. maybe its because i don't like anyone. who knows.
>you wrote hybrids three times :^) kek
>a neckbeard/NEET? no, just easily irritable/asocial. how do you think i ended up here hahaha. also, im not sure if you've ever met/interacted Israelis irl, but there's something extra annoying about them. when i was on trips in Prague and Amsterdam i realized, wow, no all people are that fucking terrible. and when you grow up around such shitheads it fucks with your worldview. it's the chutzpah/entitlement they have.
>understandable, but what about the racial aspect? In that respect I have more connection to europe than Middle East, not as if i feel like a descendant of Moses. shared language is the only real connection i have with other people here.
Do you feel connection with other maghrebis for example? since you have similar culture/language etc. IIRC you don't like muttrocans.
HTS allegedly seized and dismantled from loyalist cells at least one VBIED in Idlib province. Extremely rare payload consisting of large amounts of 200/400gram blocks of Russian TNT. Probably 100kg+ total
>>210373 >maybe because i grew up in a small town that preached against nationalism. maybe its because i don't like anyone. who knows. and the military service didn't help? odd but again you people have a 3 years draft so the effects might be different for the average conscript >also, im not sure if you've ever met/interacted Israelis irl speak/laugh/eat loudly as if they're alone in the room, tend to keep amongst themselves/never mix with others, speak loudly with their language making a random guy think a girl needed heimlich at a restaurant and rude to non israeli people at least that was my experience, how far from the truth i am? >In that respect I have more connection to europe than Middle East, not as if i feel like a descendant of Moses. shared language is the only real connection i have with other people here. i understand (although you kinda sound like an american "pure bavarian phenotype guys, i'm yuropean you guize" :^) ) >Do you feel connection with other maghrebis for example? since you have similar culture/language etc. definitely yes >IIRC you don't like muttrocans. it's mainly shitpost although i abhor the muttroccan government and the moroccans who are defending it
>>210377 >and the military service didn't help? au contraire, only made me hate it worse. some of the worst people ive ever met. and the forced nature of it just makes it worse.
>at least that was my experience, how far from the truth i am? kek, sounds pretty accurate to me. add to that constant bickering and having the attitude of an aggressive ape. truly an abomination. abhorrent kind.
>(although you kinda sound like an american "pure bavarian phenotype guys, i'm yuropean you guize" :^) ) sorry it wasn't meant as a "we wuz europeanz n shieet", it was to signify that i don't have much in common with the typical Israeli. not with ashkenazim too btw, they suck too. most of em are dude weed lmao/socialists/progressives. you know the Israeli trekking tourist type? god i fucking hate these. so no shared connection felt with my fellow peeps. yeah it sucks not to feel sympathy to your own people and "home", what can i say, it is what it is.
>it's mainly shitpost although i abhor the muttroccan government and the moroccans who are defending it gotcha. they're the biggest maghreb population here, don't think i ever ran into algerians or libyans. very few egyptians too.

JUST IN: Update on battle for #Baghuz #Syria vs #ISIS
Number of ISIS fighters/family members surrendering to #SDF in past 24 hours now up to 3,000 per #Syrian Democratic Forces spokesman @mustefabali, who also says the hour of victory is closer than ever
Way I see it, the LNA has adopted a strategy of gaining flanking positions against enemy strongholds - as they should. Right now they're moving on Sirte. Capturing that town to the SE of Sirte gave them a good flanking position against Sirte and against the settlements on the way to Sirte. I expect the LNA will go around Sirte to the south and reach the coast to the west of Sirte, creating a pocket that can only be resupplied by sea. Then I expect they will make their final moves on Sirte, flanking the eastern settlements from the south and east, then attacking Sirte from 3 sides.
Afterwards, they'll move up the coastline and enter Misrata region after Abu Qurayn and link up with the LNA, creating a pocket that I expect will get filled with ISIS just like the Rebel/AQ pocket SE of Abu Dhuhur.
Continuing on this flanking strategy, I expect the LNA in Tarhuna to take the city in full and then blitz eastwards to link up with the other LNA elements and create another pocket while simultaneously establishing a strong flanking position against the major coastal cities, especially Misrata. Then an op to clear out the Bani Walid/Al 'Urban pocket taking advantage of flanking positions and crushing pockets wherever they are created. Then some R&R before they begin operations to clear out the major cities. Very strategic.
>>210299 Is there some good footage of people or areas affected by WP? I've seen stuff from Raqqa with roofs burnt through but never in any realm like that CoD clip that tried to lay out how horrible these weapons are. The damage except for when it actually hits a victim does not seem like your typical WMD even compared to the moderate chemical gas weapons (I might take that back since even jsut getting WP on you can poison you). >>210356 >Mom wanting to take the picture infront of the christmas decoration >>210341 >>210351 >o get to Germany can you two stop. >>210386 >toubou militias why are they only along the Chad border? >>210393 > blitz blitz Angriffe ever occuring in the Libyan Civil war 2.0 W E W E W >Very strategic. why do you believe the offensives to take areas (especially along the coast) for LNA is so slow in progress? besides the ISIS take over of Derna (? i dont rememebr correctly perhaps) or the ISIS forces south of Benghazi
>>210380 >gotcha. they're the biggest maghreb population here, don't think i ever ran into algerians or libyans. very few egyptians too. btw what about jewnisians?
>>210398 >why are they only along the Chad border? I dunno if they actually are. That area's underreported as fuck. >blitz Angriffe ever occuring in the Libyan Civil war 2.0 It happened not long ago in the SW. >why do you believe the offensives to take areas (especially along the coast) for LNA is so slow in progress? Most of the population is along the coast and as we all know Islamists tend to take civilians hostage to use as human shields against an advancing enemy. >besides the ISIS take over of Derna You remember correctly, then AQ kicked them out and were then kicked out by LNA a year ago. They also took over Sirte but got blown out by Tobruk gov't after a bloody battle - I think this is the reason Tobruk Gov't started losing the war, they lost too much manpower in Sirte. >Libya 740 killed and 4,000+ wounded (GNA claim)[27] >5,000 killed or wounded[9] (ISIL claim) >United States 1 killed (non-combat)[28]
>Iraq Army 14th Division, 51st Brigade has been in the Zab-Makhmour sector for just a month and they've already seized 1300 explosives that were packed for controlled demolition today.

I'm getting bit of the student questioning the possibly senile master thing, but you sure you are talking about the right battle and groups here?
