Israel will destroy itself, says former Israeli minister

One of “Israel’s” own says it is heading toward the abyss and accuses the political circle in “Israel” of considering its narrow interests only.

Today, Saturday, April 30, the former Minister of Internal Security of the Israeli occupation, Avigdor Kahalani, stressed that he fears the fate of “Israel” after one generation, adding that “internal problems will destroy it.”

A video published by Ukraine’s Azov Battalion on Twitter this week showed one of its fighters firing an anti-tank missile. In the tweet Azov claimed it had hit a Russian vehicle.

Israeli media on Wednesday identified the missile system in the Azov video as a Matador, a weapon developed by a consortium involving Rafael, a state-owned Israeli arms manufacturer.

The weapon seen in the video does match with established photos of the Matador.

Yahoo News reported last month that Ukraine had bought 5,100 of the missile systems from a German manufacturer – the same firm that jointly developed the Matador with Rafael.

Matador is a portmanteau of “man-portable anti-tank, anti-door” since it is also used to blow holes in walls when fighting in urban areas. (more…)

But orthodox make up just 9 percent of the Jewish population. (more…)

UN: Francesca Albanese appointed spécial rapporteur for Human Rights in Occupied Palestine, and immediatley  smeared by Israel

According to Israeli media, Israeli authorities take a dim view of the appointment by the United Nations of the Italian legal expert Francesca Albanese to the post of special rapporteur for human rights in occupied Palestine.

The Israeli newspaper Jerusalem Post reported that the appointment was condemned by the Israeli ambassador to the UN organization because she had in the past compared the Palestinian Nakba to “the Holocaust of World War II”.

According to the newspaper, Israel’s representative to the UN Geneva, Meirav Eilon Shahar, said after the announcement by the President of the Human Rights Council that Albanese had been appointed to this post, that ” Israel expects no fair, objective or professional treatment from an activist who promotes blatant slander. » (more…)
