Greg Stoker, a former Special Operations member in the US army, analyzes the war in Palestine from a military perspective, debunking Israeli propaganda and explaining why the regime is losing its ground campaign.

I absolutely love greg.j.stoker's I/P conflict analyses on Instagram.

He's an ex US veteran who knows the ins and outs of military science, as well as US military obv.

Usually his IG vids are a few minutes long analyzing Israel's military tactics (or lack of)

He's so good at explaining and gets right into his subject matter that I didn't notice this interview of his on TMJ News Network was 30 minutes long lol

He talks about what the US military really thinks of Israel's military, years before Oct 7th. Spoiler: The US military doesn't trust Israel's info coz they know they just LIE.

Testing America's Bullets

"In East Jerusalem, the Americans give Israel sponge bullets," Mack said. "First, they started with a blue sponge bullet but then they decided – this is their statement – that because the Palestinians wore a lot of clothes, it was not very effective so then they changed it to a [more powerful] black sponge bullet, which caused huge damage and there are dozens of Palestinians that have lost their eyes and other organs of their body."

The black sponge bullets are manufactured by Combined Tactical Systems, a Pennsylvania-based firm which also supplies Israel with tear gas.

The company's brochure for these bullets contains a note marked "caution." It reads: "Shots to the head, neck, thorax, heart or spine can result in fatal or serious injury."

Israeli troops began using the black bullets in 2014.

The attack on Gaza the previous year enabled Israel to showcase some of its newest weapons. It was reported, for example, that the Hermes-900, one of Elbit's drones, made its "operational debut" in that assault.

Anyways I hope all Israeli soldiers "just following orders" a very gruesome death 💕

I wish all the horrible things they've done to be done to them. I want them to be injected full of adrenaline to keep them awake and conscious so there's never any release.

I want the same for everyone contributing to these genocides.

I want the people responsible to suffer until they break apart. I want them to be completely unrecognizable due to the horrors.

Strikes hit Lebanon’s Baalbek, Yemen’s Houthis report one more US-UK airstrike on Hodeidah

Air strikes hit the eastern Lebanese city of Baalbek and its environs on Wednesday, hours after Israel announced the evacuation of residents in the area, as British warplanes have launched a new airstrike on Hodeidah province in western Yemen, the Houthi group said on Thursday.

Israeli strikes target Lebanon’s Baalbek

Baalbek Mayor Mustafa al-Shall confirmed that the strikes hit the city and its surroundings, while state media reported that “enemy warplanes carried out a series of strikes on the Asira neighbourhood of Baalbek city” and the nearby town.

Earlier on Wednesday, Baalbek residents rushed to flee their homes after the Israeli army ordered the evacuation of one of the largest cities in the Beqaa region and its neighbourhood for the first time in more than a month of war.

Lebanon’s health ministry said on Monday that Israeli raids in Beqaa had killed at least 60 people, most of them in the Baalbek neighbourhood.

Yemen’s Houthis report one more US-UK airstrike on Hodeidah

British warplanes have launched a new airstrike on Hodeidah province in western Yemen, the Houthi group said on Thursday.

The airstrike targeted the al-Hawak neighbourhood in the province, the Houthi-run Al-Masirah television reported. No casualties or damage were reported.

The attack came hours after two airstrikes by US and British warplanes hit Hodeidah airport on Wednesday night. The US and Britain had no comment on the report. Hodeidah is a large Yemeni province with three major ports and a long coastal strip.

Since early 2024, the US-led coalition has been conducting airstrikes against Houthi positions in parts of Yemen in response to the group’s attacks on shipping in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.

The counterattacks were periodically accompanied by retaliatory actions by the group.

In a show of support with the Gaza Strip, which has been subjected to Israel’s war since October 7 last year, the Houthis have launched missile and drone strikes against Israeli cargo ships or vessels linked to Tel Aviv, declaring their determination to continue operations until the end of the offensive on the enclave.

Israeli army advances near shelter schools, hospital in northern Gaza

Israeli troops advanced on Thursday near an Indonesian hospital and two shelters for displaced civilians in Jabalia in the northern Gaza Strip amid a massive offensive in the area, eyewitnesses reported.

The Israeli army ordered displaced civilians in Tal al-Zaatar and Tal al-Rabi schools in al-Fakhour neighbourhood to leave amid a mass exodus from the area, eyewitnesses reported.

Israeli artillery also shelled several areas in northern Gaza, including Sheikh Zayed Ring Road, Beit Lahiya and Jabalia refugee camp.

The Israeli army has been continuing its deadly offensive on northern Gaza since October 5 to allegedly prevent Hamas from regrouping amid a suffocating blockade of the area. Palestinians, however, accuse Israel of seeking to occupy the territory and forcibly displace its residents.

Since then, the Israeli army has prevented humanitarian aid, including food, medicine and fuel, from entering the area, leaving most of the population on the brink of imminent starvation.

More than 1,000 people have been killed in northern Gaza since the offensive began, according to the Palestinian Civil Defence Service. The offensive was the latest episode in Israel’s war against the Gaza Strip since a Hamas attack last year, despite a UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire.

Since then, more than 43,100 people, mostly women and children, have been killed and more than 101,500 injured, according to local health authorities.

The Israeli offensive has displaced almost the entire population of the territory amid an ongoing blockade that has led to severe shortages of food, clean water and medicine. Israel also faces a genocide case in the UN International Court of Justice for its actions in Gaza.

"- I have a lot of problems with Biden. He is clearly the better of the two options, which I recognize is a very low bar. Being better than Trump cannot be the standard, because Donald Trump is the absence of a standard.

"But the truth is, even if Trump looses, that won't be the end of this. The people who cooked up Project 2025 will just move onto Project 2029 instead, because for them, this is so much more than just one election, or indeed, one candidate. Project 2025 is born from impulse as old as America. It's an impulse that says one class of Americans is entitled to lead, and the rest of us are lucky to be allowed to serve- that thinks there should be a limited government when it comes to rules they have to live by, but also a unitary executive to keep the rest of us in line. These are old, old ideas that have been shouted from podiums-... but have now been placed into a new handbook for an only too willing president to use on day one.

"And in a perfect world, I would love if we had an opposing party better able to articulate a strong defense of our country's ideals and that also consistently lived up to them. People are entitled to hope for more from the next four years than someone just not being Trump (and for at least two supreme court justices to die)-...

"And for anyone tempted to think, 'Well, we survived Trump's first term,' first, not everyone did, and it should hopefully be very clear by now a second Trump term really does promise to be far, far worse, because if Trump's first term was defined by chaos, his second could be defined by ruthless efficiency. That should be troubling to absolutely everyone because Project 2025 is a movement who's members joke about wanting a white homeland and insist women have to have more babies to uphold western society.-

"We need to be better than this."

Dear Pro Israel people please read this full post below and ask yourself why you are defending Israel ? Does stealing the organs of murdered Palestinian men, women and children represent your beliefs? Do you think it’s okay ? Do you think it’s justified? Can you find it in your heart to have sympathy for Palestinian people and find anger towards Israel for their evil, inhumane, criminal and violent acts? Or will you continue to defend them because you have no humanity yourself? What will you tell your children and grandchildren when they learn about this when it is old history? Will you say you proudly agreed with Israel? Why?

I asked Brom (A retired brigadier general who works at the Institute for National Security Studies in Tel Aviv.) if it's true that Israeli arms companies use the fact that their products have been tested on Palestinians to gain international business. "Of course," he replied. "Why not? Marketing [professionals] try to use any advantage and if they can use the advantage that this system was tested operationally and it worked, they will of course use it for marketing."

"It is legitimate because the Vietnam War sold a lot of weapons," he said. "War usually sells weapons. But this is not to say that Israel is seeking war in order to sell weapons." (Uzi Rubin, a founder of Arrow, an Israeli anti-ballistic missiles program, is now a researcher at the Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies in Bar-Ilan University near Tel Aviv.)

"I'm talking about using the electromagnetic spectrum or high-powered microwaves to get people dizzy," she said. "If you're dizzy you lose your balance. You know, I'd rather people just get an upset stomach and really just have to have diarrhea right in the middle of a demonstration or puke their guts out than to be killed." (Barbara Opall-Rome has spent a few decades covering Israel for DefenseNews, a trade magazine for arms manufacturers.)

[Their] comments reveal much about the sadistic mentality of Israel's weapons-makers and their promoters. For them, Palestinians are not human beings worthy of respect but subjects in one cruel experiment after another.

UN “concerned” about reports of Israel using white phosphorus in Lebanon

The UN said it was “very concerned” by a report that the Israeli army used US-supplied white phosphorus munitions during an attack in southern Lebanon.

UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric said he could not confirm the information. He noted:

We’re obviously very concerned about any use of these types of incendiary munitions, especially in populated areas. But we will see if I have anything more to share with you on that.

The Washington Post reported an Israeli attack on 16 October on the Lebanese town of Dheira, near the border with Israel.

Human rights group Amnesty International called the incident a potential war crime.

Anadolu also took several photographs showing the use of white phosphorus bombs against Gaza civilians, and several lawyers said they could be used as evidence in a complaint against Israel.
