[Breaking] Biden Wednesday, Scholz Visit Tuesday, Scholz May Stay Longer to Meet Biden - Bibi in Tel Aviv
Arabs leader angry at Blinken, humiliating him. So, Biden and Scholz abruptly go to Tel Aviv. You can't fix Gaza without ending occupation, so long traumatized children in Gaza under bombing.
DC and NYC 10.10am / Jerusalem - Gaza Strip - Tel Aviv 5.10pm [227 hours of war, still continue] BREAKING NEWS live update trilingual [hebrew - arabic - english] click here
What Netanyahu tried to tear asunder Hamas has forged back together. Netanyahu to hold friendly diplomatic chat with authoritarian strongman Vladimir Putin around 8pm after Netanyahu giving a speech in Knesset [Israel parliament], [Putin] who compared IDF to NAZI Wehrmacht.
71 percent of registered Muslim voters in the U.S. went to the polls in election 2020, highest if compare any racial or demographic in America, large enough to swing the presidential race in key battleground states. In the 12 states where the organization signed up and mobilized Muslim voters, the number of registered Muslim voters grew by 27 percent.
Elin killed by Israel bombardment since Wednesday, 2 days before expulsion - Israel announcement for Gazans to the southern
The Muslim American community is relatively small in number, but its participation was targeted enough to make a difference in 2020. In Georgia, where President Joe Biden won by almost 12,000 votes, more than 61,000 Muslim voters came to the polls. Midterm election last November, Ruwa Romman [30 years old] was the first known Muslim woman elected to the Georgia House of Representatives, and the first Palestinian American elected to any office in the state. As an immigrant, the granddaughter of Palestinian refugees, and a Muslim woman who wears the hijab or jilbab, or Islamic headscarf, the road to political office hasn’t been easy, especially in the very Christian and conservative South.
“I could write chapters about what I have gone through,” Romman listed the many ways she’s faced bigotry or discrimination.

But power of ‘ARAB’ actually very big. Maybe angry because genocide by Israel and greenlight by US [2,950 killed in Gaza alone]. According to Washington Post, in Riyadh, the Saudi ruler Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman kept Secretary Antony John Blinken waiting several hours for a meeting presumed to happen in the evening but which the crown prince only showed up for the next morning. You can't fix Gaza without ending the occupation. You can't "de-fang Hamas" because so long there are traumatized children in Gaza there will be another generation of Hamas. You can't address anticolonial violence without addressing colonial violence.
Casualties in the Palestine side already [successfully count] 2,950 in Gaza alone but maybe in real 4,000 killed by Israel because a lot of bodies are still under the rubbles’, result of 'accordance the laws of war.' 35,000 pregnant women in the Gaza Strip who will give birth within the next month. May God help and protect them.
It’s not first time Blinken get some tiny effort for his visit. China, a Saudi ally in BRICS, maybe more vulgar. Side-by-side seating between President Xi Jinping and former US Secretary of State: with John Forbes Kerry, with Rex Wayne Tillerson, and Michael Richard “Mike” Pompeo. Currently, Pompeo (well-known) very hate China and very hate Xi Jinping.
But between Blinken and Xi Jinping in Beijing last June not side-by-side. Diplomatic drive-by? Blinken-Xi met for ONLY 35 MINUTES— one of the shortest high-level meetings on record. Consecutive translation cuts the actual exchange in half — leaving each less than 10 MINUTES of perfunctory speaking time. Lookalike downgrade. Israel-Hamas war has had the effect of 'stretching American and European resources' while, at the same time, 'relieving pressure on Russia and providing new opportunities to China about Taiwan'. Don’t forget winter is coming, and BRICS member ‘occupy’ 40 percent oil deposit and 45 percent natural gas. So far Zelensky in turbulence.
Mass graves. The UN Relief and Works Agency [UNRWA] says 'there are not enough body-bags for the dead in Gaza', so mass graves is the last resort. 80 percent UNRWA school destroyed by Israel
People don't realize how poorly Blinken was received in the middle east because Arab leader angry about 'greenlight' for Tel Aviv from DC to kill Palestine, how much it complicated his efforts. It wasn't just Erdogan and Sisi either [both slammed Blinken about 'come to Israel because he's jew'].
Interesting study on how political statements are barometers of average opinion. Biden was a hawk first few days after the Hamas attack - so were the majority of Americans. Thanks for ‘HAWK BIDEN’, so in first 3-days [October 7th-9th] emergency after HAMAS infiltrated Israel in every side, Biden - Harris got a lot of money and assuming from Jewish billionaire. Biden-Harris campaign says it abruptly raised US$71 million+ in the 3rd quarter “on par with the Q2 haul”, and in next Q4 maybe more rocketed number.
Adds it “has a historic nearly US$91 million in cash on hand, the highest total amassed by any Democratic candidate in history at this point in the cycle.” At least in mid July 2023, joint fundraising committees combined to raise US$72 million from April to the end of June. They have $77 million cash on hand in Mid July 2023. If new update says joint committee has US$91 million in cash on hand but Q3 raised US$71 million+ , arguably between July - October 2023, Biden - Harris campaign spend around US$57-60 million. In some point, Biden-Harris actually reach US$148-150 million but for some ads, between July - October must spend around US$57-60 million.
This is literally ‘JUMPED’, because until at least June 2023, reported by CNN, fundraising in Biden side is too slow. Yet even Biden’s supporters acknowledge that the headwinds he faces in his overall campaign – including dampened enthusiasm and concern over his age – will influence his effort to raise as much as US$2 billion for his reelection effort. Some donors have expressed anxiety over a slow start to the money race. One person familiar with the matter said the Biden campaign’s fundraising after the video announcement was “nothing special.”
“Not a lot of people are engaging right now. They’re like, ‘We’re gonna give. We’re gonna support him,’ but people aren’t as engaged in the 2024 operation right now,” one Biden campaign bundler told CNN.
Guardian cartoonist Steve Bell was sacked after he drew a cartoon of Israeli leader Netanyahu that was said to be anti-Semitic. Bell worked at the Guardian for more than 40 years.
Now that they've seen the horrors of Israel's retaliation, [again] with some number 2,920 Palestinian killed in Gaza alone or maybe already 3,000 or 4,000 because under reporting after chaotic expulsion / NAKBA / Israeli push all Gaza go to South - near Egypt or Rafah Border and still thousand bodies under the rubbles, Americans are now humanitarians, & so is Biden.
In Pennsylvania, which Biden carried by nearly 81,000 votes, about 125,000 Muslim voters turned out. Sadly, newly elected Senator John Karl Fetterman from Pennsylvania praised the U.S.-Israel relationship, stating that it is “a special one that needs to be safeguarded, protected, supported Israel —- and no one, until 24 hours x 9 days, mentioned the fate of Muslim American in the middle Palestine - Israel war.
Whatever, the report demonstrates the impact of Muslim Americans’ efforts in recent years to flex their political muscle. Before the murder of [stabbed 26 TIMES] 6-years-old boy Palestinian - American citizen Wadea Al-Fayoume, at least 7 days ago, according to Abed A. Ayoub, ADC [American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee] including him [after war started between Palestine - Israel] received multiple calls today regarding Palestinian nationals detained by ICE, and/or visited by the FBI. The FBI has also visited multiple mosques today, in different states, as well as Arab inmates. This is a troubling trend. American people, in US soil, now facing atmosphere lookalike The Siege [1998], in worst all young men of Arab descent, may rounded up and detained in some point.
Biden literally on the brink lost election 2024 after [26 times stabbed] sadistically the murder of a 6-year-old Palestinian American, not only because his favor to carte blanche barbaric Israel to Palestinian. Although it is very hard to imagining Muslim America and Arab America [Arab isn’t only muslim, some is Christian or Catholic] after brouhaha Muslim Ban by Trump [the stats show] 35% said they voted for Trump in 2020 although Muslim ban, currently with ‘lesser evil’ logical, Muslim America and Arab America may no longer vote anyone or abstained in 2024, although [maybe] insist to still attend the poll station.
On the other side, Jewish voters in America, over three-quarters of them cast their ballot for Biden 2020, the second historic levels of support in the Jewish electorate. Survey to compare each other candidate in every election, Biden got 68 percent, and Hillary in 2016 [although lost by Trump] got 71 percent.
Number Americans confirmed to have been killed in Israel - Palestine has risen to 30. State Department has not said if it knows if any roughly 600 Palestinian Americans in Gaza, or American - but HAMAS hostage, have been killed by Israel bombardment. IDF spokesperson says number confirmed Israeli hostages in Gaza identified 199 [no longer 750] of them and notified their families, according to the army spokesman. ut
Some of them killed by Israel bombardment itself.
Ruwa as Palestinian, and was ‘All the times I am ‘randomly’ selected by TSA [Transportation Security Administration]’, maybe admitting the Palestine - Israel war brings back her memories, and all muslim america plus arab america about post - 911.
Biden know that the new islamofobia intention - murder of 6-years-old Palestinian-American citizen boy Wadea Al-Fayoume [stabbed 26 [TWENTY-SIX] times] before start the exclusive interview, but Biden and CBS journo Scott Pelley look alike agree to not talking about latest development in Illinois and keep focused about real-in-field Palestine-Israel. Remember that the world that pretended to be the savior of humanity participated in killing it.
Biden showed that he can recognize Palestinian humanity and force Netanyahu to change course. Now waiting Biden can push for a ceasefire and stop the genocide or not. Biden tells CBS Scott Pelley that Israel would be making a mistake if it occupied Gaza again, amid full-preparation, some analysts already said 600,000 soldiers to start ground operation in Gaza.
To show his seriousness about genocide, nakba suffered by Palestine [number by EUROMED 10 hours ago still used too by Palestinian Ministry Health, 2,950 killed in Gaza alone — the tally problem or accuracy for casualties counting looms after 700,000 Gazans already goes to South since last Friday] and also his seriousness about Islamophobia, Biden canceled a long-time planned trip to Colorado to visit wind tower plant in here.
With a duration of 12 hours flying from Joint Base Andrews to Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv, and also 7 hours different time zones between DC and Tel Aviv, as I heard [at the moment], Biden even tried to fly to Tel Aviv since Tuesday noon. Because another G7 leader may have already landed earlier, which is Chancellor Olaf Scholz. 2 of ‘BIG FOUR’ economy on earth abruptly visited Tel Aviv, to reassure again not only ‘best ally of middle east’ for Western, but also calm down ‘anger from every Arab leader.’
We can say that Israel - Saudi normalization [with US as broker deal] has already burst to the air, or, if one day started again, this [re]attempt may take decades. French Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna already met Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohena on October 15th, and visited the damaged Barzilai Medical Center in the city of Ashkelon. But no info about potential [another abrupt] Macron visit to Tel Aviv following Biden and Scholz.
At least, Biden and Scholz to navigating very clearly that Israel not killing everyone who currently fleeing to the southern and or to Rafah Border, and make sure no ground operation. Biden already warns ‘occupied Gaza’ is big blowback for long term to Israel. Last Saturday, 70 Palestinian Killed in 1 convoy by Israel bombardment, although this convoy fulfilling Israel rules to go to south. Sunday, 200 killed in other convoy, also by Israel bombardment.
Shani Louk, a women teenager, German - Israeli citizen, firstly reported by Newsweek, that she’s alive, not get raped, and well treated in some hospital in Gaza, amid heinous - brutality bombing by Israel in Gaza. NASA Astronaut Loay Basyouni confirms his parents [still complete] are also trapped in Gaza, and German citizens. Around 7.1 million Muslims live in Germany. Approximately half of these have a German passport and around 2.4 million of these are over the age of 18, making them eligible to vote. Overall, the number of eligible voters with a migrant background has been estimated to be as high as 9 million. Support for the SPD, a Scholz party, by Germans with an immigrant background, taken as a whole, dropped from 32% to 15% between 2015 and 2019. Germans without an immigrant background saw a slightly less dramatic drop in the same period, from 25% to 18%
Like Biden in the US, next election in Germany [2025 or earlier] is very difficult for Scholz to convince muslim and or immigrant background to vote for him again, maybe very small turnout from muslim and or immigrant background. Slogans like “Der Islam gehoert nicht zu Deutschland,” (Islam doesn’t belong in Germany) resonated for years even in the Merkel era, and thanks for the rocketed popularity of AfD.
Again, again, again …. I write it to reminder.
One day, after [all hostages] back to Israeli soil or Israeli sides again, imagine that, they are told to each other ‘I may be killed by your [Israel] bomb, so please stop bombing Gaza again, forever.’
Türkiye President Erdogan has initiated a negotiation process for the release of civilian prisoners held by Hamas. President Erdogan has instructed the related institutions to lead the negotiation process. The released an Israeli woman and 2 kids is 2nd batch. First ever hostage released is elderly [around 85 years old] women. Very healthy, get food and water during kidnapping time from Palestinian, and the footage, get again water from the IDF.
Plestia Alaqad | بلستيا العقاد is Journo in Gaza. But currently her instagram activity JUST 93 hours ago, NO MORE ACTIVITY [until this newsletter landed on your inbox. At least until 3 days ago, she insists to still posting everything horror - massive bombing by Israel in Gaza every hour, push herself to search every chance of electricity and cellular access to spread information inside Gaza. At least 17 journo in Gazan alongside Plestia Alaqad no longer stories anymore too in 93 hours. Telco Ministry of Israel cut off internet to Gaza since 00.00 Saturday but at least 3 ‘popular Gazans’, literally in inside Gaza, Refaat [tweets 11am local time], Jason Shawa [tweets 7am local time], surgery doctor UK - Palestinian citizen Dr. Ghassan Abu Sitta to say hi ‘we still alive, but don’t know next day. Situation in Rafah border still chaos.
