Now there's a new Resistance front defending Palestine
We recently featured an article in translation from alkhanadeq.org.lb stating that the Resistance Axis had 5 Resistance fronts. Now we learn about a 6th front, namely the front in Bahrain.
We recently featured an article in translation from alkhanadeq stating that the Resistance Axis had 5 Resistance fronts, ie, Hezbollah in Lebanon, Popular Mobilization Forces in Iraq, the Syrian pro-Assad forces in Syria, the Houthis in Yemen and Hamas.
Now we learn about a 6th front, namely the front in Bahrain, consisting of Waad Allah, Saraya Waad, Saraya al Ashtar, Thar Allah and Saraya Mukhtar. Israel may die from a thousand cuts.
Saraya Al-Ashtar on May 2, 2024, launched a drone attack on Israel against the ground transportation company Trucknet in the city of Umm Al-Rashrash.
This adds another front and more pressure on the occupying entity.
One more added benefit for Palestine: Turkiye has broken off all trade ties with Israel!

Saraya al-Ashtar...another support front for Gaza from Bahrain
Resistance in Saraya al-Ashtar
The Islamic Resistance in Bahrain - Saraya Al-Ashtar, surprised everyone, during the Battle of Al-Aqsa Flood, when it announced, on May 2, 2024, that it had carried out a drone attack targeting the headquarters of the company responsible for land transportation in the temporary entity “Trucknet” in the city of Umm Al-Rashrash in occupied Palestine [Israel] (Eilat), on Tuesday, April 27, 2024, remembering that it comes in the ongoing context of operations to support the people and the resistance in Palestine, and a video clip of the drone launch was shown.
Video of drone launch: https://vk.com/video-221265170_456380011
This operation constituted a declaration of fire, to open a new front of support for the axis of resistance, proving that it possesses many surprises and capabilities that have not yet been revealed and activated.
However, the presence of Saraya al-Ashtar precedes the announcement of this operation by years, and the United States of America has even placed it on terrorism lists since 2014, and this confirms its importance and danger in the equations of the conflict with Israel and its successor, America and their agents.
[If Americans are ever to be free, we must stop adopting the vocabulary of the Israeli agents who control our government through AIPAC. Thanks to this hateful foreign lobby, Congress just passed an un-Constitutional alien law banning specific criticisms of Israel. One step in freeing ourselves from this foreign tyrant is to refuse to call the Resistance groups terrorist organizations. A resistance group is by definition not a terrorist group because it opposes tyranny – in this case, the awful tyranny of the Israel-US genocidal coalition that has so far murdered 35,000 innocent Palestinian civilians.
The ICJ has agreed that it was plausible to call the Israeli actions in Palestine a genocide. Yet under this new brazenly un-Constitutional law, it is illegal to call this genocide a genocide.
This is intolerable, unacceptable tyranny and we must stand up to it. And we need to get rid of all the filthy scum in Washington that makes our lives less livable and less free]
What is the most prominent and important information about these brigades?
_ Saraya Al-Ashtar is one of the main factions of the Bahraini Islamic Resistance, along with: the Popular Resistance Brigades, the Waad Allah [Allah’s promise] Brigades, the Mukhtar Brigades [Mukhtar means chosen] and the Tha’ar Allah [Allah’s revenge of the blood] Brigades.
_ It was founded in March 2012, and it believes that an armed revolution must take place against the unjust and agent regimes of America. It was named after one of Imam Ali’s (peace be upon him) friends and the most prominent commander of his army: Malik al-Ashtar (may God be pleased with him).
_Through its statements, its objectives include:
1) Revenge for the martyrs of the Free Revolution in Bahrain.
2) Overthrowing the rule of Al Khalifa [ruling dynasty of Bahrain].
_ It is led by Ahmed Yousef Sarhan, known as Abu Muntadhar, and Qasim Ahmed Abdullah, known as Zulfiqar and “Qasim Al-Mumen”, both of whom are Bahraini dissidents.
_ Classified as a “terrorist organization” by the British government (2014), the US administration (2018), Bahrain (2014), Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE (2017), and Canada (2019). In March 2017, the US State Department again designated it a “terrorist organization,” claiming that it wanted to destabilize Bahrain and threaten its security. This indicates that this camp is afraid of its resistance role.
- In 2012, the Bahraini regime claimed that its leadership met with the Secretary-General of Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hassan Nasrallah. Bahraini officials also claimed that she received training on improvised explosive devices from Kataib Hezbollah (one of the most prominent Iraqi resistance factions).
At the beginning of 2020, I participated in the joint statement of the Islamic Resistance factions in Bahrain, in which they announced their intention to participate in avenging the blood of the martyrs, the leaders, Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani and Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis, and their companions, who were assassinated by America at Baghdad International Airport.
[This was one of the stupidest and most counterproductive moves of the Trump regime, which killed General Soleimani under the false pretext that this general – a war hero beloved by the Middle East – was supposedly planning to kill Americans. The real reason was that Trump was anxious to please Israel, which had for years attempted to drag the US into a war with Iran. Trump knew that war with Iran would be a disaster but decided to kill this general as a way of showing solidarity with the criminal regime in Tel Aviv. The upshot of this stupid move was threefold: a million-strong funeral march in Iran that galvanized support for the government and put an end to all US attempts to achieve a regime change there; a demand by the Iraqi government to pull all US troops from the country; a warning missile attack by Iran on US troops stationed at Ayn Al-Asad military base in Iraq, which left Trump embarrassed because it was nearly perfect in its precision, just narrowly avoiding the killing of any troops but hitting the base close enough to the troops that it sent 100 of them to a German hospital to treat for brain trauma. Trump knew he could not answer this attack for fear of triggering a massive Iranian assault on all US bases in the region. It was a huge diplomatic defeat that permanently weakened the US position in the ME – which has since deteriorated much further thanks to the US-backed genocide in Palestine. Brain-dead Trump seems oblivious to the fact that most Americans are sympathetic with the starving Palestinians. He keeps spewing hateful rhetoric against these victims and promising to get tough on the student protests against the genocide]
Most prominent operations
_The group is alleged to have carried out more than 20 attacks in Bahrain, against the security forces of the oppressive Al Khalifa regime, which has suppressed the peaceful revolution of the Bahraini people since 2011, taking advantage of absolute Arab and Western silence and support.
_On April 27, 2024, a drone was launched against the headquarters of the Israeli company Trucknet in the occupied city of Umm al-Rashrash (Eilat), in support of the people of Gaza and their resistance during the Battle of Al-Aqsa Flood. TruckNet is one of the most prominent Israeli shipping companies, founded by businessman Hanan Friedman, and since 2014, it has been operating a line of fuel tankers from ports in the occupied territories to Arab countries.
The place where the drone was launched was not identified, while the Bahraini authorities commented that the aforementioned brigades are classified as “terrorists” and carry out their activities outside Bahrain.
Some have considered this process an indication of accelerating the process of changing regional equations, until the occupation entity disappears.

Here’s your daily air strike update for May 3, 2024
Translation with my notes in bold and in [brackets]

The Russian army attacked the Ukrainian oil depot "Balovnoye"
The Russian army hit the Balovnoye oil depot, which supplied fuel to the Ukrainian Armed Forces
The Russian army struck the Balovnoye oil depot, which supplied fuel to units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). The Ministry of Defense reported this.
The Ministry of Defense did not provide any other information about the affected object and the nature of the damage it received. They noted that the blow was caused by a long-range weapon.
In addition to the oil depot, over the past 24 hours, Russian troops hit 102 areas of concentration of manpower and equipment of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. In particular, as a result of one of the strikes, a radar and two launchers of the S-300PT anti-aircraft missile system were destroyed.
Earlier, a 30-kilometer “Tsar Train” of two thousand cars was seen in the special operation zone. The man who filmed the train explained that the coupled carriages represent an insurmountable barrier for both enemy infantry and armored vehicles. Thus, the composition serves as a defensive line.

BOY LOSES LIMBS AFTER ‘HIDDEN EXPLOSIVE CHARGE’ IN FOOD AID DETONATES
ReliefWeb reports: A teenage Palestinian boy is the latest to be severely wounded while opening “booby-trapped food”, according the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.
“A 14-year-old boy was seriously injured and sustained limb amputations after opening a booby-trapped can of food found while looking for his belongings in his house that had been shelled by Israeli forces in Khan Younis,” OCHA said, citing Gaza authorities.
The boy, who was wounded in the blast on Monday, is just one of “many people recently injured” from aid supplies rigged with hidden explosive charges, the UN agency added.

He has been my favorite guy for some months.
His real name is Guy Christensen. He is a high-school senior. This is the story of his journey from average Tiktok poster to anti-Zionist:
An American Tiktoker’s journey to supporting Palestine
A high school student with 3 million followers explains why he's now working to challenge the dominant Western narrative on Israel and Palestine.

EXCERPT:
The turning point in my personal journey occurred when I received an email from a Zionist organisation offering me $5,000 to pledge my support to Israel. It came after I posted a video highlighting the parallels between American colonisation and that of Historic Palestine on my account. My first encounter with Israel's propaganda machine was an offer to trade truth for money. I was disgusted. My morals were not for sale.
Here he is describing that offer:

When the entire Congress bows to Israel to violate the Constitution, we are occupied – same as Palestine. They think of us as animals.
How long before WE get bombed and shot? Don’t laugh. Biden greenlighted the murder of US citizen Gonzalo Lira by the Nazis in Ukraine! Of COURSE he will kill any American dissenter if he can get away with it. Our government is the enemy and it is a mortal one!
The entire Senate and Congress are traitors. We will suffer the consequences of the government we elected.

US Congress just passed a bill that would CRIMINALIZE THE BIBLE. Reciting the fact that Jews killed Jesus will be considered CRIMINAL ANTI-SEMITIC HATE SPEECH.
[Yes. Witness the reaction of Zionists to Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ. They pilloried Gibson in the media even though he had made a sincere attempt to portray the crucifixion as closely as possible to the New Testament account! This was a naked attempt to censor Christianity! It will not stop there]
https://twitter.com/jacksonhinklle/status/1785824888680243584
What Hinkle and very few others realize is that the adoption of “Christian” Zionism
by the Evangelical church over 100 years ago already enabled the Jewish Zionists to abolish authentic Christianity because Jesus never uttered a word supporting this devilish doctrine of “Christian” Zionism that is now universally accepted in the so-called “church” and has caused the slaughter of 36,000 innocent Palestinian civilians since October 2023 – but untold thousands more between 48 and today – and will soon cause thousands more deaths in Rafah.
Jesus was murdered by the Jewish leaders (Pharisees) of His day and His teachings of love are being murdered by today’s Evangelical leaders like the 700 Club’s Gordon Robertson and Family Research Council Tony Perkins, both of whom wholeheartedly endorse the Israeli genocide.
This doctrine killed authentic Christianity in the early 20th Century and the fruits are just now emerging in the form of unspeakable atrocities.
This is what can happen when an entire nation tramples the Constitution and its original religious principles under pressure from the monied class.
You are now under the full control of the Pharisees, and you did it to yourselves.
Although you have been taught by Washington’s Neocons to hate and mistrust Russia, deeming it to be a “dictatorship,” the atrocities in Palestine and the atrocity against our basic law could never have happened in Russia, where Israel has never gained a foothold in the legislature. Praise God.

How AIPAC forces US government into an anti-Palestinian mold. YOU are a slave to Israel

Just as the American Revolutionaries who wrote the Federalist Papers and Constitution feared mob rule caused by factions (see George Washington's Farewell Address); so the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment intended separation of church and state. In addition, the Federalist Papers No. 52 strongly supported the prohibition against any religious test for office without any regard to a particular religious faith.
Yet, our nation has become an Evangelical Christian Zionist Theocracy held hostage to the whims of Israel's Right-wing Genocidalists with a blank cheque underwritten by U.S. taxpayers!
