Hey Fester,
Here's the most important article you'll read today.

US campaign behind the turmoil in Kiev - Fri 26 Nov 2004
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2004/nov/26/ukraine.usa

"If the events in Kiev vindicate the US in its strategies for helping other people win elections and take power from anti-democratic regimes, it is certain to try to repeat the exercise elsewhere in the post-Soviet world."

When he said 'helping', I wonder if he knew that it would end up getting over a million Ukrainians killed.
When he said 'anti democratic regimes' that's basically 'anyone who doesn't serve U.S. interests.

You all know I oppose sanctions and overthrows, and all this is just 'foreign interference'
Remember how their hair fell out claiming Russian troll factories ware meddling in US elections, such hypocrites.
I remember Victoria Nuland's phone call deciding who the President of Ukraine would be, before those million Ukrainians died in a Western sponsored war.
Notice even Soros and USAID got a mention.

"The Democratic party's National Democratic Institute, the Republican party's International Republican Institute, the US state department and USAid are the main agencies involved in these grassroots campaigns as well as the Freedom House NGO and billionaire George Soros's open society institute."
- They forgot to add the NED 'National Endowment for Democracy', and again, it's not grassroots, it's foreign interference, foreign funded.

Yuyutsu

Saladin was a Kurd; a millennia ago. The Kurds are still in the news, lately with their objection to Turkish rule.
On that note, your idea has much merit. The Turks love affair with Palestinians and their new found grip over Syria, would match a trade.
I wonder how the Kurds would react to the idea?

Yuyutsu

The new Israeli push for Sovereignty over the West Bank, and the new Yellow Line demarcation through Gaza does not bode well for any longer, Palestinian occupation of these valuable and desirable land masses. Eventually the Palestinians will have to move out of Gaza and the West Bank. Why not now,, harnessing your reflective idea?

Dear Dan,

«I wonder how the Kurds would react to the idea?»

I think they would love it.

For once to have their own place where they are not persecuted and be surrounded by friendly neighbours (Israel and Jordan).

«The new Israeli push for Sovereignty over the West Bank, and the new Yellow Line demarcation through Gaza does not bode well for any longer,»

No this is not good, but hopefully Trump will put his foot down and stop Israel, for just one more year, until Israel's new elections.

«Palestinian occupation of these valuable and desirable land masses»

What is so valuable about them?

The Gaza strip is tiny and sandy, even without the yellow line.

«Eventually the Palestinians will have to move out of Gaza and the West Bank. Why not now,, harnessing your reflective idea?»

The difficulty is that they would perceive it as defeat, thus an assault on their masculinity.
This is certainly not what I have in mind, I don't want to humiliate them, I think it will be good for them,
so one needs to proceed about it in a very careful and sensitive way.

To begin with, no one should ever be forced out of their home,
but rather be enticed with far better housing opportunities elsewhere.

Any family wishing to remain in their West-Bank home (including even Jewish settlers) should be able to do so, but then accept becoming a minority under Kurdish rule.

So I'm reading this article...

Engineer. Teacher. Postie: The neo-Nazis who rallied in Sydney
http://www.smh.com.au/politics/nsw/engineer-teacher-postie-the-neo-nazis-who-rallied-in-sydney-20251112-p5nev3.html

"Gruter, a civil engineer, is a senior member of the NSW chapter of the National Socialist Network, Australia’s biggest neo-Nazi group. He – along with dozens of other members of the group – have been identified by the anti-fascist research group White Rose Society after they appeared at the protest unmasked."

So I look up this 'White Rose Society'
http://thewhiterosesociety.com/
http://youtu.be/wwarnM_JhWQ
It's not a 'anti-fascist' research group, it's a Pro-Jewish anti-Semitic research group, and the article is a hit piece meant to name, shame, vilify and have fired members of the National Socialist 'NAZI' group spoken about in the article.
It's board members include Israeli diplomats.

Who do media people have to lie?
- Or even just omit things to change the way something reads.
The whole article would've read differently if it said:
"He – along with dozens of other members of the group – have been identified by the Pro-Jewish Anti-Semitic research group White Rose Society after they appeared at the protest unmasked."

And fyi, I don't support the NAZI group, but I think they're entitled to have a say the same as any other citizen. We claim to stand for tolerance and diversity, but we can't accept these people having a say? Nobody has to listen.

I'm not sure I like this kind of reporting if it's meant to cost people their jobs and cause conflict in their lives.
They're no different than anyone else out their protesting or standing up for their cause whatever it is.
This article smacks of 'You have no right to be a citizen, have any say or take part in your own country, because you might hurt someones feelings, (people with foreign loyalties no less) and their feelings are more important that your right to have a say'
- I don't support that.

Hi Fester,
Found some more info about RSF here

Sudan’s paramilitary RSF say they seized key zone bordering Egypt, Libya
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/6/11/sudans-paramilitary-rsf-say-they-seized-key-zone-bordering-egypt-libya

"SAF said on Tuesday that Haftar’s troops, in coordination with the RSF, attacked its border positions in a move it called “a blatant aggression against Sudan”.

Sudan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs also accused the United Arab Emirates of backing the assault, describing it as a “dangerous escalation” and a “flagrant violation of international law”.

It also described the latest clash as part of a broader foreign-backed conspiracy."

Why would you not believe what General Wesley Clark said?

A simple guide to what is happening in Sudan
http://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cjel2nn22z9o
It is the latest episode in bouts of tension that followed the 2019 ousting of long-serving President Omar al-Bashir, who came to power in a coup in 1989.

Google 'National Endowment for Democracy Sudan'
"The National Endowment for Democracy (NED) has supported and condemned actions in Sudan related to democratic transition. Following the 2021 military coup, the NED condemned the coup and detention of civilian leaders, expressing solidarity with peaceful protestors demanding a civilian-led transition. In 2020, the NED honored Sudanese civil society with its Democracy Award for its role in the transition."

So the US wanted Omar al-Bashir out and supported the transition.
And it seems Israel is in with UAE funding and supporting RSF which are mostly foreign mercenaries in Sudan.

Also, for Syria
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timber_Sycamore
Timber Sycamore was a classified weapons supply and training program run by the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and supported by the United Kingdom and some Arab intelligence services, including Saudi intelligence. The aim of the program was to remove Syrian president Bashar al-Assad from power.
