Israel is NOT a Jewish State. We have no allegiance to this foreign country which claims to represent us! We are against Zionism. Because we are Jews. Israel is not our nation-state. Israel is not the state of the Jewish people.

It’s possible that #SAA currently working on steady installation of defense positions & deployment on E side of valley part stretching from Tal Tamr until Ras Al-‘Ayn.

Immediate entrance into Ras Al-‘Ayn salient remains risky until securing both flanks of main supply-line (716).

Italy’s Matteo Salvini has all but abandoned his long crusade against the euro and told his party to drop the vote-losing subject, deeming the single currency to be an “irreversible” fact of history.

The leader of the right-wing Lega party and the towering figure of Italian politics stunned his eurosceptic followers with a forensic mea culpa and a repudiation of past errors in Il Foglio newspaper.

“I say this once and for all, and I hope that nobody inside or outside my party will raise this issue again. The Lega does not have any intention of taking Italy out of the euro or the European Union,” he said.
