Following is a thread of quotes from #TheGlobalJigsaw latest episode on the #IRGC, #Quds force, #Basij militias - and th ideological blueprint for #Iran so called Axis of Resistance. Whole episode here:
#soleimani was seen as defending #Iran on its frontlines in #Iraq against an extremist #Sunni group - #ISIS#IS#daesh which was dedicated to the murder of #Shia Muslims, wherever they could find them. there have already been several years of speculation whether in the #Iranian press that Soleimani would actually run for President
When he was assassinated we saw a genuine huge wave of mourning in Iran, his funeral was apparently the biggest mass gathering recorded in Iranian history
cont
#Soleimani ’s assassination seems to have given a new impetus to the so-called #AxisOfResistance - the network of groups in the region doing #ran ’s bidding. This network is far from homogenous - each group has its own agenda.
These range from pure proxies like some #Iraqi militias and #Afghan and #Pakistani#Shia mercenary groups, which are the absolute creations of the #IRGC with little independent decision making power and ideologically absolutely line of the Islamic republic.

...There will never be peace in #Palestine, not even if there were a #TwoStateSolution, placating the #Palastinian population, neither the #Sunni, nor rhe #Shia neighboring countries will stop their hostilities until the whole of the #Israeli state is eradicated from the map.
If #Trump should at last really get his second term as president, the global balance of power will further shift even further towards #America's antagonists...
#CAIRO — After a long journey from #Gaza, more than 100 American citizens and their families have entered #Egypt through the #RafahCrossing. Jonathan Webster, the #USEmbassy in Cairo's consul general, said some of those families are telling him they ran out of food and water during their journeys. #Israel
The #Houthis are an armed group from a sub-sect of #Yemen's #Shia Muslim minority, the #Zaidis. They take their name from the movement's founder, Hussein al Houthi.
Formally known as the Ansar Allah (Partisans of God), the group was formed in the 1990s to combat what they saw as the corruption of the then president, #AliAbdullahSaleh. #Iran#Israel
The British and Russians invaded Iran in 1941 and guaranteed the Shah would stay in power if Iran surrendered.
That is what happened until 1979. The King of Persian empire was Shah bloodline, not clerics in exile like Khomeini.
You can overlook the Iranian Revolution as a cause for religious world conflicts but you'll only be neglecting the #truth and extending the religious wars for another 50 years.
Palestine was not a nation in both conflicts.
In 1988 the Palestine National Council meeting in Algiers proclaimed the establishment of the State of Palestine.
Who are the clowns?
It's ok to feel silly after thinking you knew something so well.

I see that the apologetics for Israel and their mass murder and invasion of Gaza are already hard at work poisoning the Fediverse with their "Blame the Palestinians, they won't let us take our land and self-deport themselves!!!" bullshit.
Don't even bring that nonsense here. You will get the same treatment other Nazis' get: a nice, swift ass kicking outta here.
