The Saudi and Iranian Sides reaffirmed their commitment to implementing the Beijing Agreement in all its provisions and their continued endeavor to consolidate neighborly relations between their countries through adherence to the Charter of the United Nations and the Charter of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, and international law, including respect for the sovereignty, independence, and security of states.
Moreover, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Islamic Republic of Iran have welcomed the continued positive role of the People’s Republic of China and the importance of its support and follow-up on the implementation of the Beijing Agreement.
The People’s Republic of China has affirmed its readiness to continue to support and encourage the steps taken by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Islamic Republic of Iran to develop their relationship in various fields.
The three countries welcomed the continued progress in Saudi-Iranian relations and the opportunities it provides for direct communication between the two countries at all levels and sectors, noting the great importance of these contacts, meetings, and mutual visits between high officials of the two countries, especially in light of the current tensions and escalation in the region that threaten the security of the region and the world.
The participants also welcomed the progress of consular services between the two countries, which enabled more than 87,000 Iranian pilgrims to perform Hajj and more than 52,000 Iranians to perform Umrah with ease and security during the first ten months of 2024.
They welcomed holding the first meeting of the Saudi-Iranian joint Media Committee and the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the Prince Saud Al-Faisal Institute for Diplomatic Studies and the Institute of Political and International Studies of the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The two countries have additionally expressed readiness to sign a Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA). The three countries look forward to expanding cooperation among them in various fields including economic and political.
The three countries call for an immediate end to Israeli aggression in Palestine and Lebanon and condemn Israeli attacks and violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Islamic Republic of Iran. They further call for the uninterrupted flow of humanitarian aid and relief to Palestine and Lebanon, warning that the continuing cycle of violence and escalation is a serious threat to the security of the region and the world, as well as to maritime security.
The three countries reaffirm their support for a comprehensive political solution in Yemen in accordance with internationally recognized principles under the auspices of the United Nations.November 28, 2024 at 7:01 pm #175522zerosumParticipantNothing has changed. Murdering still continuing.

The Israeli military carried out a number of operations in southern Lebanon on Thursday, one day after its ceasefire with the Iran-backed Hezbollah militia came into force.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said an aircraft attacked a weapons depot belonging to the Iran-backed group after “terrorist activity was identified in a facility used by Hezbollah to store mid-range rockets.”
According to Israeli media reports, it was the first Israeli airstrike in Lebanon since the ceasefire took effect early on Wednesday.
The ceasefire agreement stipulates that Hezbollah must withdraw behind the Litani River, about 30 kilometres north of the border to Israel, in accordance with UN Security Council Resolution 1701.
The resolution marked the end of the last war in Lebanon in 2006 but was never fully implemented.
Israel’s ground troops are to gradually withdraw from Lebanon over the next 60 days, but the IDF says it is still taking action against Hezbollah members who are violating the agreement.
Earlier, the Lebanese state news agency NNA reported that at least two people were injured when the Israeli military fired on villages near the border in south-eastern Lebanon.
The news agengy said the injuries occurred in the village of Markaba, while tanks also reportedly fired on the villages of Wasani and Kfar Shuba.
In a statement, the IDF said that several suspected Hezbollah fighters had arrived in vehicles in various parts of southern Lebanon, violating the terms of the ceasefire.
“The IDF opened fire on them,” it said, adding that it would punish any violations of the agreement.
It also announced another night-time curfew in southern Lebanon, with a spokesman saying access to border areas south of the Litani River has been banned between 5 pm (1500 GMT) on Thursday and 7 am on Friday.
November 28, 2024 at 7:03 pm #175523Dr. DParticipantCeasefire is a lie
Israel has fired on people in southern Lebanon several times since the ceasefire”Of course it is. That’s why Israel is going to cease to exist. Why do people have to act this way? It’s not going to help.

The US is still determined to fight the laundrymat war to the very last Ukrainian.
The US now wants 18 year olds to be allowed to operate washing machines.
The US’s Congress critters don’t want their Ukrainian money laundrymat to ever close!The US is supplying the labor while the Russians are supplying the washing machines!
From MoA:
The situation for the Ukrainian Army is difficult. The washing machines the Russians are heaving at the Ukrainians are becoming more difficult to avoid. A platoon commander of the Ukrainian army says, “The Russians are now launching washing machines in trebuchets that are still plugged in. The extension cord technology is increasing dramatically and, as a result, when the washing machines land, they are still on spin cycle.” He pauses and kicks the dirt. “Those fascist pigs. Clothes came spilling out of one that landed. Men’s underwear landed on a brand new recruit’s face, smothering him in lavendar-scent. They didn’t even use fabric softener in the load.”

November 28, 2024 at 8:37 pm #175526aspnazParticipantHow the Jews corrupted the British government and created their homeland, in the words of a Rothschild: https://www.thejc.com/life-and-culture/lord-rothschild-my-jewish-roots-ur1i9xug
Again, to the morons who don’t seem to be able to read, my issue with the Jews is not their race – anybody with even a small brain can work out that the Jews are not a single race, they are multiple races, just like all the other religions in this world. My issue with the Jews in the USA and UK is their corruption of the democratic system and of society through their pursuit of their relgion. So, to all you morons who keep on shouting “racist”, try reading what I have written if you want to understand. I am not a racist, I can accept white, black, yellow …. any race, but what I cannot accept is the corrupt, lawless degradation of society by a small elitist group who believe that they are above the rest of society and entitled to steal and murder without consequence. Simple.
To the likes of Dr D, Benton the Jew etc, we all know there are multiple races in the Jewish diaspora, just read the history of the Jewish diaspora, simple reading, try it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_diaspora. Very similar to all other religions, there are multiple races involved. So who care which ones are Ashkenazi etc, this is a diversion to pretend that they are somehow not a unified religion. The anti-semitism race issue is also bullshit, more Jewish bullshit, using race as their shield against their religious barbarity. But you will continue to use the racism card …. bad anti-semitic racists … deliberate distraction to protect your precious Jewish religion, Satan’s own religion.
November 28, 2024 at 8:38 pm #175527zerosumParticipantCyprus: Could be that the R.U. is evaluating its options for the next switching administered by their Hazel Wand. Since Perfidious Albion appears to be the eye of the Cabal Octopus; perhaps that British airbase in Cyprus would be their initial strike on those longtime haters of Russia. Any U$$A aircraft and personnel parked at that scene would be merely “collateral damage” to the designated attack-dog for the Talmudist imperium

November 28, 2024 at 11:18 pm #175537zerosumParticipantMedia Finally Reports that Many Canadians Oppose NATO
by Yves Engler / November 28th, 2024A large raucous protest put criticism of Canada’s most damaging international accord back on the public radar.
In response to the opening of North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s 70th anniversary Parliamentary Assembly in Montreal 1,500 protested Friday to “Block NATO”. The main banner at the front of the night march stated: “Block NATO: Reject Militarism, Imperialism & Colonialism”. For weeks my neighbourhood was plastered with posters saying “Bloquons L’OTAN”. The Convergence des Luttes anti-capitaliste (CLAC) also produced a sticker with that message and a 16-page anti-NATO paper.
The image at the centre of their material was a boot stepping on NATO. That image, CLAC’s militant history, starting the march at night and a large student strike led to a raucous march. Some protesters probably intended to break windows at the convention centre hosting the NATO meeting. The police initially blamed protesters for setting fires in two cars but it appears tear gas canisters fired by the police were responsible. They must have fired many canisters as I tasted tear gas two blocks away from where the conflict escalated. Beyond the chemical irritants ingested by protesters and passersby, the police injured a handful of protesters.
While I’ve generally been opposed or ambivalent towards property destruction at demonstrations, Friday’s window breaking drew significant attention to a message rarely heard in recent years. A Radio Canada headline after the night march read “Une manifestation pour le retrait du Canada de l’OTAN dégénère à Montréal” (A demonstration calling for Canada’s withdrawal from NATO degenerates in Montreal) while La Presse noted, “Une manifestation contre l’OTAN dérape au centre-ville de Montréal” (Anti-NATO demonstration goes off the rails in downtown Montreal). The Associated Press, Reuters, Aljazeera and other international media reported on the protests.
The Mouvement québécois pour la paix’s march planned for the next day received significant coverage. About 150 marched against the NATO Parliamentary Assembly on Saturday with a L’actualité headline noting “Une autre manifestation contre l’OTAN a eu lieu samedi” (Another demonstration against NATO took place on Saturday) and Global News stating, “Anti-NATO protesters in Montreal demand Canada withdraws from alliance”. The Globe and Mail, New York Post and many other outlets published stories about the NATO Assembly with photographs of banners or placards criticizing NATO.
On Sunday multiple media showed up to the counter summit organized by the Canada Wide Peace and Justice Network. Radio Canada’s flagship Téléjournal covered it with their blurb stating, “Demonstrations in opposition to NATO were numerous this weekend on the sidelines of its annual summit in Montreal. Several groups believe the Atlantic Alliance harms global security instead of strengthening it and urge Canada to leave NATO.”
The media attention is important. Despite the alliance being mentioned regularly, there’s almost no hint of criticism of NATO in the dominant media.
The scale and militancy of the protests was due to the fact they coincided with a major student strike for Palestine. Over 40 associations representing 85,000 students across Quebec voted to strike on Thursday and Friday to call on their institutions to end all relations with Israel. Many condemned NATO assistance for Israel and an Israeli delegation led by genocidal Likud Knesset member Boaz Bismuth at the Parliamentary Assembly. Israel has a longstanding partnership with the alliance.
Student strikers targeting NATO is an indication that the popular uprising against Israel’s genocide may be broadening its outlook towards challenging Canadian foreign policy and imperialism. Canada’s support for Israeli violence makes a mockery of Ottawa’s claims to advance human rights or international law. Is it believable that genocide Justin and Joe truly care about Ukrainian sovereignty or people?
One needn’t support Russian militarism to be troubled by NATO’s escalation. Providing logistical and intelligence support for Ukraine to fire NATO missiles deep into Russia is dangerous brinkmanship.
NATO is a belligerent alliance pushing Canada to increase its military spending. This weekend’s protests may not have “blocked NATO” but they definitely thrust opposition to the alliance into the spotlight.

Non-operational death of Canadian Armed Forces member deployed to EuropeNovember 27, 2024 – Ottawa – National Defence / Canadian Armed Forces
It is with a heavy heart that Joint Task Force Ukraine announces the loss of one of our soldiers, Lieutenant-Colonel (LCol) Kent Miller.
LCol Miller was serving with Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE) in Casteau, Belgium, under Operation UNIFIER, when he passed away from medical complications on November 25, 2024.
LCol Miller was an Engineering Officer with 24 years of experience in the Canadian Armed Forces. He was most recently the Commanding Officer of 41 Combat Engineer Regiment in Alberta and was deployed to SHAPE in a planning and coordination capacity.
Our deepest condolences go out to the family and loved ones of LCol Miller.

November 29, 2024 at 7:05 pm #175608jb-hbParticipantDesignating corporations as tax collectors lets us cook the books and tell you we aren’t raising your taxes. Especially lets us claim not to be raising taxes on the poor. Kind of like how the government hires soldiers as “contractors” and then only cites soldier, not contractor deaths, to keep the body count down in reporting on conflicts/wars
