The estimated civilian death toll was 126-136, including 69 children.
Airwars noted that this is “the most named victims we have ever monitored in a single event.”
Israel’s war on Gaza has killed more than 11,000 Palestinians, including over 100 civilian victims of a single Israeli bombing in the densely populated Jabalia refugee camp on October 31 who were publicly identified on Thursday by the U.K.-based watchdog Airwars.
The group identified 116 names of civilians killed in the strike—including 10 cases with the death of multiple family members, three of which reportedly involved entire families being wiped out. The estimated civilian death toll is 126-136, including 69 children.
“Persistent impunity has created the conditions for the consolidation of the Israeli apartheid regime,
Airwars noted on social media that this is “the most named victims we have ever monitored in a single event,” and “almost every named victim we found died along with at least one other family member.”
The analysis is just for the Israeli attack on October 31, but the group is separately reviewing a strike from the following day. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed both bombings and claimed to be targeting “a very senior Hamas commander.”

A spokesperson for the Israeli military said the attack had been authorized to assassinate a senior Hamas commander and destroy his base. IDF spokesperson Daniel Hagari named the target as Ibrahim Biari, commander of Central Jabaliya Battalion, who he said had been leading fighting in northern Gaza from a network of tunnels under the camp.
El candidato presidencial revela planes de conversión al judaísmo
Sobre la guerra en curso de Israel con el grupo palestino Hamas: que ha “expresado enfáticamente” solidaridad por el “legítimo derecho a la defensa” del país.
Milei, un hombre de 53 años que se describe a sí mismo como “anarcocapitalista” y lidera el partido Avances de la Libertad, se enfrenta al ministro de economía del país sudamericano, Sergio Massa, de la coalición gobernante Patria, en la segunda vuelta de las elecciones del domingo.
La contienda, que sigue a una elección en octubre que no logró establecer un ganador claro, ha estado dominada por las terribles perspectivas fiscales de Argentina. La inflación del país está llegando a los tres dígitos, mientras que su tasa de pobreza se sitúa en el 40%.
Sin embargo, si bien la crisis económica de Argentina probablemente será el tema más apremiante para los votantes, Milei también ha dejado claro que verá a Estados Unidos, y en particular a Israel, como aliados clave en la construcción de sus políticas exteriores.
“Lo que más admiro de Israel es su cultura, su gente”, dijo Milei al Times of Israel en una entrevista publicada a primera hora del domingo. Añadió sobre la guerra en curso de Israel con el grupo palestino Hamas que ha “expresado enfáticamente” solidaridad por el “legítimo derecho a la defensa” del país.
Además, Milei, que asistió a una escuela católica en su juventud, habló de su interés duradero en la fe judía, pero dijo que cualquier decisión de convertirse al judaísmo tendría que esperar hasta que sus ambiciones políticas se hayan completado.
“Es muy difícil porque no podría cumplir todos los preceptos por las exigencias que tendría como presidente”, dijo Milei. “Sabes, si eres un converso, tienes que cumplir con todos los preceptos religiosos judíos”.
Y añadió: “La cuestión es que posiblemente planee convertirme una vez que termine mi carrera política”.
La personalidad a veces descarada y excéntrica de Milei ha generado comparaciones internacionales con el expresidente estadounidense Donald Trump, así como con el exlíder brasileño Jair Bolsonaro. Y, al igual que Trump, Milei ha expresado su deseo de trasladar la embajada de Argentina en Israel de Tel Aviv a Jerusalén.
Trump anunció la decisión en 2017 en una medida que cambió décadas de política exterior estadounidense sobre el tema, aunque algunos países musulmanes expresaron que esencialmente anulaba el estatus de Estados Unidos como mediador en las conversaciones de paz regionales.
“Sí, por supuesto”, dijo Milei cuando el Times of Israel le preguntó sobre sus planes para la embajada. “No me importa si los líderes mundiales me critican. Realmente creo que eso es lo correcto”.
Tanto israelíes como palestinos reclaman a Jerusalén como sus capitales nacionales.
La partición de Israel de 1948 nombró a Jerusalén “ciudad internacional” y la mayoría de los estados se han negado a garantizar que aceptarán una nueva capital israelí incluso como parte de una solución negociada.
Los encuestadores sugieran que el populista Milei puede triunfar en las elecciones. Quien resulte elegido asumirá el cargo el 10 de diciembre por un período de cuatro años.
Starship UNSCHEDULED TOTAL DISASSEMBLY illustration
BREAKING: In another spectacular double failure, both the first and second stages of the world’s largest rocket ever exploded after launch some minutes apart, raining millions of pieces of toxic debris over hundreds of square miles of the Gulf of Mexico.
Luckily on this occasion the ‘Masterpiece of US Ingenuity’ was flying empty, although any brave US astronauts could have reached as far as somewhere in the Bahamas or even Puerto Rico, if they could have ejected before the whole contraption burst into smithereens of fiery exploding toxic trash.
Saturday’s demo lasted eight or so minutes, about twice as long as the first test in April, which also unfortunately ended in an explosion. The latest flight came to an end as the ship’s engines were almost done firing to put it on an around-the-world path.
At nearly 400 feet (121 meters), Starship is the biggest and most powerful rocket ever built, with the goal of ferrying people to the moon and Mars.
You can watch the historic moment Starship explodes again in UNSCHEDULED TOTAL DISASSEMBLY
The latest débacle follows the explosion of the Minuteman 111 US Nuclear Missile Test (without its bombs) on Nov 1st 2023. Anti nuclear heroes celebrated that perhaps the US Nuclear Arsenal will not work, saving the planet! Alas, with THOUSANDS of thermonuclear warheads under Biden’s thumb, if just 1% actually work they would murder us all.
Dear NASA. could you point out to your technical wizards that your landing gear looks only suitable for FLAT GROUND. The moon’s surface is reportably quite bumpy, looks like your rocket might just fall over, and anti-American traitors might laugh at you..
‘SpaceX‘s main goal for Saturday’s explosive launch was to achieve separation and prove “hot staging” works’. The Starship mega-rocket achieved another major milestone in both getting ‘VERY HOT‘ and successfully ‘SEPARATING‘ into myriad ‘multiple autonomous modules‘. 18/11/23

Within a few seconds, the booster exploded. “That was another billion $ wrinkle SpaceX will have to iron out since it wants to land its Super Heavy boosters in one rather than a million pieces for reuse”.
The Starship module , however, kept trucking toward space — until….. something tragic happened….
BREAKING: In an unprecedented and spectacular double failure, both the first and second stages of the world’s largest rocket ever exploded after launch some minutes apart this morning, raining millions of pieces of toxic debris over hundreds of square miles of the Gulf of Mexico.
Of course, microplastics are now endemic, and are existing by the billions in every living thing on the planet, with repercussions unknown. But Ms. Thunberg’s problem with Big Oil isn’t about plastics; it’s about the four million metric tons of excess CO2 the burning of those fossil fuels injects into the atmosphere every single hour of every single day.
Four. Millions. Tons. Every Hour.

Al-Qassam Brigades announced that the occupation’s claims that the bodies of Israeli captives were found in hospitals in the Gaza Strip were false and that they were undergoing treatment there.
The brigades conveyed in an official statement on its Telegram channel: “We transferred a number of prisoners to care centres to receive treatment due to the seriousness of their health condition and to preserve their lives. This happened recently with the detainee, Aryeh Zalman Zdmanovich, card number 0010185791, who received intensive care.”

Al-Qassam Brigades explained: “After he recovered, he was returned to his place of detention. He died due to panic attacks as a result of the repeated bombing around his place of detention, and we will publish material documenting this.”

The occupation forces on Thursday announced the discovery of two bodies: a female Israeli soldier, who Al-Qassam confirmed was killed as a result of the occupation bombing her detention site, in addition to another female detainee, whose body they claimed was found in a building next to Al-Shifa Hospital.
Al-Qassam Brigades stated that the occupation forces have so far caused the deaths of more than 60 of its captives in the Gaza Strip due to the continuous brutal bombing of all parts of the strip, especially Palestinian homes.

Dozens killed as Israeli forces attack two schools in northern Gaza
Many hundreds of people are believed to have taken shelter at the two schools in northern Gaza.

Published On 18 Nov 202318 Nov 2023
Israeli air raids have killed dozens of people at the al-Fakhoora School, run by the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA), in Jabalia refugee camp another a school in Tal Al-Zaatar, also in northern Gaza.
At least 50 people were killed in the bombing of al-Fakhoora School, the Palestinian Ministry of Health said on Saturday. It added that the two attacks killed and injured hundreds of people.
Reporting form Khan Younis in southern Gaza, Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud said Israeli attacks on schools, hospitals and public facilities “seem to be a trend right now”.
He added that multiple airstrikes inflicted severe destruction on both schools.
“Almost 200 people have been killed in these attacks and the number is expected to increase as there are many under the rubble. People are using shovels and their bare hands to dig people out,” he explained.
Many hundreds of people are believed to have taken shelter at both schools, fleeing the non-stop Israeli attacks. The attack on al-Fakhoora is believed to have taken place in the early hours of the morning, while the attack on Tal Al-Zaatar took place later in the day.
“Dead bodies are everywhere and medial teams are trying to evacuate the wounded,” said Al Jazeera correspondent Tareq Abou Azzoum, reporting about al-Fakhoora school.
He said with the continuing fighting amid Israel’s ground offensive into northern Gaza, many Palestinians have been forced to flee to UN-run schools in the vicinity of the Indonesian Hospital for protection.
“People taking shelter at al-Fakhoora School in Jabalia refugee camp, many with medical issues, thought they could find shelter from the violence there. But the Israeli army seems to be sending a message: Flee to the south of the Gaza Strip,” he said.
‘Nowhere is safe in Gaza’
Qatar’s foreign ministry condemned Israel’s renewed bombardment of al-Fakhoora school, and called for “an urgent international investigation and independent investigators to probe Israel’s targeting of schools and hospitals in Gaza”.
Tamara Alrifai, a spokesperson for UNRWA, told Al Jazeera she has seen the “devastating” footage coming out of Jabalia in the aftermath of the bombing, but has not been able to directly contact her colleagues on the ground.
“I’m still waiting from reports directly from my colleagues in Gaza but what we’re seeing is another one of these horrific incidents, where civilians, people who sought shelter in a protected UN building, are paying the price,” she said.
Alrifai said more than half of the Gaza Strip’s 2.3 million population has been forced on an “exodus” south after an Israeli order to evacuate to make room for its ground operations in the north, something that is reminiscent of previous forced displacements.
“Many people who stayed in the north stayed in the UNRWA school because they thought that they would have a bit of safety there, but nowhere is safe in Gaza, not even our schools,” she said. “Unfortunately, people flee into our buildings with the blue flag looking for protection, but 70 of our buildings have been hit, so we, ourselves, are not protected.”
Alrifai said excluding the attack on Saturday, 66 people have been confirmed killed while taking shelter in UN-run facilities.
The ‘al-Shifa of schools’
The Jabalia refugee camp has been a target of air raids for weeks, as Israel claims it houses Palestinian fighters.
The deadly bombing campaign has been continuing despite condemnations by the UN and regional governments.
The al-Fakhoora School had also been previously hit by the Israeli army several times before the war. The school was a target for air raids in 2009, 2014 and earlier this month.
Al Jazeera’s Marwan Bishara said the school is like the “al-Shifa of schools” in Gaza as it has been repeatedly targeted by Israeli forces like the al-Shifa Hospital, which has been a main target since the start of the war and under direct siege and raid for days.
“There is nothing discriminate about the fact that a school that shelters thousands of people has been bombed from the air; that is meant to create damage, human loss, suffering and death,” he said.
“When you attack a school with such a concentration of people taking refuge in the school, you are sending a message that is more than ‘I’m going after Hamas fighters here and there.’ What it’s saying is, ‘I want people to be driven out, I want people to pay a price, I want people to die.’”

Fire Burns Through U.S. Military Equipment At Iraqi Air Base After 56th Drone Attack (Videos) by Islamic Resistance (IRI)On November 17 morning, a large fire broke out at hangers housing United States military aircraft and equipment in al-Harir US Air Base in the Erbil province of the northern Iraqi region of Kurdistan after a drone attack.
note: All reprisals by Islamic Resistance groups (IRI) are described in Western Media as ‘IRANIAN ATTACKS’
The Islamic Resistance in Iraq (IRI), a coalition of armed militias, which includes fighters of Shiite armed groups that fought against terrorists of the Islamic State terrorist group, claimed responsibility for the attack on the air base, saying in a statement that it was carried out “in response to the crimes committed by the enemy [Israel] against people in Gaza.”
The group formed a special operations room to support Palestinian armed factions following the October 17 Al-Ahli Arab Hospital massacre.
The ongoing attacks obliged the U.S. to reinforce its bases in the Middle East with more than 1,200 troops and a dozen air defense systems. Nevertheless, Washington continues to provide Israel with unconditional support.
Two more attacks against U.S. forces were reported after the Pentagon’s update. A salvo of rockets hit the Conoco Mission Support Site in the eastern Syria governorate of Deir Ezzor late on November 14.
Another rocket attack targeted the Ayn al-Assad Air Base in the western Iraqi province of al-Anbat on November 15 morning.
MH-47G Chinook and MH-60M Black Hawk helicopters as well as MQ-1C Gray Eagle combat drones of the U.S. elite 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment are usually deployed in al-Harir Air Base, right near the hangars which were set on fire by the drone attack
A few hours after the attack on al-Harir, the IRI announced that it had hit two other bases hosting U.S. troops with suicide drones, Ain al-Assad Air Base in the western Iraqi province of al-Anbar and Tell Beydar base
The Attacks on Syrian US bases and the danger for the Rojava Autonomous area
Realistically the US bases in Syria have little future if it finally leaves its illegal and attacked bases in Iraq. The excuse that it’s there to fight ISIS resurgence is like a self fulfilling prophecy. The US is also the hated author of the continuing Caesar Act Sanctions, a kind of ‘s0ur grapes punishment’, stupidly and cruelly condemning the population (and Lebanon) to continued blockade and penury, even as Syria is readmitted as an Arab partner State.
AANES wants to remain part of Syria which refuses any autonomous agreement, and it has been invaded and partly occupied 3 times by Turkey with ongoing daily attacks
The main Tell Beydar base in the northeastern Syrian governorate of al-Hasakah. It’s close to the ruins of the Ancient Near Eastern city of Nabada from 2,600BC, 30k north of Hasakah city which is a capital of the revolutionary Autonomous Administered area called Rojava (AANES).
The military of AANES is theSyrian_Democratic_Forces(SDF), a 100,000 strong coalition of dozens of ethnic and women’s militias which successfully defeated ISIS and seized their capital of Raqqah, with US air support, and re-socialized the former ISIS areas with all ethnic and religious groups.
Though progressive and democratic the SDF forces, now majority Arabic, are always referred to as terrorists by Turkish and Syrian State based media, because the largest Kurdish segments the YPG and women’s YPJ support Abdullah Öcalan (the Nelson Mandela of the Kurds).
Why does the US support Mass Murder of Palestinian children in Israel? Less than 2% of US population is Jewish. Here’s a report on the powerful Pro Israel ‘Donation’ Lobby in the corrupt US system, which says who is and isn’t to be elected. Even more powerful is Zionist financial clout, e.g. Yifat Oron, and Schwarzman, CEO of $$Trillion Blackstone, which controls much of US Media, is dubbed as Israel’s Blackstonesecret weapon.
Israeli lobby (AIPAC) backed candidates won 2022 their midterm elections following big spending by group’s Super PAC
Candidates backed by ‘Billionaire Zionist lobby’ usually WIN in US – but Summer Lee WON despite $5.2 million spent against her- and she supports Gaza Ceasefire
First lets put to bed any suspicion of anti-semitism. Most US Jews do not support the tribal/religious psycopathy of Netanyahu’s supporters. and have historically been constructive progessives and an asset to the US ‘meltingpot’. The insidious US Zionist lobby is financed by the State, a small number of Jewish capitalist billionaires, and the US public, especially the evangelical Christian cults embracing old testament ideology. There is also perhaps a general identification with the Zionist idea of being a chosen race, with a whole world to loot, enabling the doctrine of US ‘Exceptionalism’ to international laws and morals.

Following big spending by a super PAC affiliated with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) in Democratic primaries, most of the candidates supported by Washington’s biggest pro-Israel lobbying group won their midterm races in 2022.
United Democracy Projectraised a total of $31 million through the 2022 election cycle. AIPAC itself contributed $8.5 million to the super PAC, which poured $26 million into key races, mostly in Democratic primaries.
