Any transaction that benefits Israel not permissible: Ayatollah Sistani

Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani has advised against trading goods that bring about benefits to the occupying Israeli regime


The top Iraqi cleric was asked whether it is allowed to sell goods to or buy them from the companies that allocate part of their income to supporting Tel Aviv.

"It is not permissible to trade Israeli products and [engage with] the companies that we are sure to be effectively backing Israel," Ayatollah Siatani’s office said on its website.
In recent years, a campaign boycotting Israeli products has been growing rapidly worldwide, causing heavy losses to the regime’s firms.
The Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement was initiated in 2005 by over 170 Palestinian organizations and later turned international. The movement is meant to initiate “various forms of boycott against Israel until it meets its obligations under international law” and end its decades-long occupation of Palestinian lands.
The BDS, which was inspired by the South African anti-apartheid movement, has claimed several successes in isolating Israel and promoting the Palestinian cause.

Iran declares end to arms embargo ready to buy and sell weapons. I wonder if China or Russia will sell arms to Iran right away just before the elections especially China to make Trump look incompetent and weak and payback for the trade war and USA selling weapons to Taiwan.

they stopped destroying equipment, they are going for maximum loss of enemy soldiers. they are changing tactics. armenia needs to do something fast about this drones. they are going to lose if this continues for a couple of weeks.

Armenia is gona lose anyway, no matter what they do if they fight this battle alone. At some point Russia will have to intervene. If Russia does not intervene Armenia loses.

Yes, Armenia will lose without direct support. Armenia does not fight against Azerbaijan only but against Turkey and international terrorism. Problem is that Karabakh is unsolved issue and there is no international consensus on thius issue (btw, Donbass should watch closely because if Azeris will win than it gonna be recipe for hohols how to occupy Donbass).

Only if Armenia itself will be attacked than CSTO can act. And, of course, if Armenia will trigger the CSTO article.

it would be interesting to see what Russia has to take care of Turkish and Israeli drones. if you all remember russia was using licensed version of israel drone
By 2010, Israel Aerospace Industries had made a $400 million deal for the transfer of UAV technology to Russia. The Israeli press speculated that Israel’s openness to the transaction was part of a yearslong series of quid pro quos, in exchange for Russia agreeing to withhold S-300 anti-aircraft missiles from Iran and Syria. Despite possible concerns from the U.S. government about the proliferation of advanced weapons technology from its Israeli ally to its Russian adversary, the Israeli military went ahead with training Russian officers to operate the drones. https://theintercept.com/2019/07/16/syria-war-israel-russia-drones/

and that co operation ended in 2016
Russia will have to suspend the assembly processes related to the Outpost UAV systems, license manufactured domestically, with the license being granted by Israel Aerospace Industries. Despite the efforts made by the Russians, the goal of which was to prolong the cooperation agreement within that scope, the negotiation process was held up, and the existing memorandum was suspended, following a decision made by the Israeli Ministry of Defence.

According to Flightglobal, the Israeli authorities made a decision which imposed an embargo on the whole scope of collaboration within the framework of license assembly of the IAI UAV systems in Russia. The whole cooperation has been suspended, with an immediate effect. The decision was made by the Ministry of Defence of Israel, also as a result of the pressure imposed by the US administration. https://www.defence24.com/israeli-drones-will-no-longer-be-manufactured-in-russia-usa-imposed-embargo

this is russian version that was made after the contract was canceled. it has russian GPS on it and some systems are updated. but it is nothing close to things Azerbaijan is using.



russia has also prototype of hunter drone but it is a prototype and it is not yet fully functional. or in the service. and..it is too big for this type of operations.  

there is also some smaller drones in arsenal for observation and that type of tasks..but nothing that can be used in this particular situation. armenia needs something now. they can not withstand loses at this scale for more than a few weeks. and if russia can not suply something to metigate threat from the drones that is a big problem for national security. NATO and USA have more then enough drones to use in event of attack. and, as we can all see for our selfs tanks and truck are no match for drones. drones are completely other level of waging war on a country. it is not only a question of helping armenia with arms, it is a question of survival for russia. do not get fulled that this is local conflict, this is testing bed for tactics in next war fighting period.

A year after a US-orchestrated military coup in Bolivia, followed by bloody massacres and hailed by western media as the return of "democracy", the wildly unpopular Añez regime looks prepared to do anything to prevent a normal voting process from taking place. https://t.co/haBTBNP5qW

It seems the Azeris are working their way up the Araxes river (the old border between Persia and Russia). This is very clever and dangerous for the Armenians and the Iranis.
-The Azeris have trapped some Armenian troops in a loop of the river under a lake. The only escape was or still is to run over the bridge to the Iranian side. If the Iranians allow this, they are officially in the war.
-If the Azeris are successful this way, they can reach the Armenian-Iranian border and block the Russian support crossing the river there. If they go on, they can connect to Nachitschewan, that they consider part of Azerbaijan and that is now crowded with Turkish troops. This way they can establish a direct land connection to Turkey and isolate Armenia.

Just to give an impression, where the fight takes place.

Nice numbers! I'm gonna write now something controversial but its the inconvenient truth. I know this kind of behavior is not welcomed and considered barbaric, low iq and so on but they are the ones who will defend our streets first when invaders shows up. As ironic as it sounds they are fundemental bastion of our culture. Once you lose the streets you lose the city. They are the ones with balls to do it and go out and fight. It is toxic masculinity but it is also OURS toxic masculinity, you understand? Intellectuals and academics will not do it, one of the reasons westerners lost is because they were campaigning against their toxic masculinity.

Aye, I concur. I had problem with them because there was many neno-nazis. I don't know if it changed in last 10 or 15 years but I didn't see many such notoriously known neo-nazi symbols today. So maybe it's somehow different than it was back in 2000 or so. You know, you can't defend your nation, in our casee Czech nation, and at the same time wave falg with swastika that represents regime that directly wanted us to be eliminated or moved to Siberia.

A few words about today's action: Demonstration itself was peceful. It lasted for one hour, however it was said that it will be held for two hours. I think cops requested its end. Because, officialy, only 500 people was allowed to participate, in groups of 20 and 2 meters distance among each such group. Also face masks were requested.

After demonstration ended we wanted to go to the seat of government. But it was not well organized. Cops blocked the street and people didn't break through because only small group was at the front. When the rest of us arrived there was already so much of teargas I had to withdraw. I reached the place you can see at the first video at 2:48. I was roughly where that mobile toilets were thrown on cops. And it was already impossible to move forward because of tear gas. Then went back and took my photos. It's the time the toilets were pushed against the cops.

Of course it's already propagandized as a proof that we. restrictions opponents, are violent, egoistic thugs who want to kill our elders with COVID.

Oh, and I need to buy some glasses and appropriate respirator if this will go on for longer time. Tear gas really sucks.

And, probably, i'm suspicious because as I arrived to the square I was already taken aside on its entrance and checked by a cop for weapons.

I agree with you on neonazis part but this comes along with the low iq I was mentioning. I used to know the scene pretty good, I was a member up until mid twenties then I grew out of it. From my experience I can tell you neonazism is not prevailing factor among ultras. At least in Yugoslavia it never was. It is actually very minor but the ones that they identify with it is just a matter of taking the most taboo symbols so that they can show themselves as rebels and to shock/frighten people. I never met any hool who would take this crap seriously but yeah majority of hools are right wing. For example, my firm counted about 1500 members and there were like 80 neonazis in there.

It is specially stupid for eastern Europeans to propagate nazism since majority of us are Slavs. Its complicated and dumb for the most part, Ukrainians are nazis yes, personally I can't stand them. Poles are already more into polish patriotism, you will never see swastika among polish ultras because of Polish history. Ex yugos, greeks, hungarians same, its all about patriotism.
