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.

United States forces have been attacked 55 times in Iraq and Syria since October 17, the Pentagon revealed on November 14…. southfront.press/ The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) has not yet commented on the recent attacks on al-Harir, Ain al-Assad and Tell Beydar base

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

Iraq military bases: US pulling out of three key sites – BBC News The US army is pulling out of al-Qaim and two other key military bases in Iraq in the coming weeks. For years Iraq and Syria have been demanding US forces leave their countries.

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 the Syrian_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 the US supports Mass Murder of Palestinians in Israel- even though less than 2% of Population is Jewish.

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 Blackstone secret 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 Project raised 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.
