YES.....they did it! :)

Targeting IRGC bases is NOT targeting the Iranian people. It is not an attack on Iran.

The Iranian people share a common enemy with the Israeli people.

The Iranian people will stand with the Israeli people,

Wow....the nutters not only lose their heads but also their monies, heh:)

What a sum! According to the Israeli military, $500 million in cash and gold are in a Hezbollah bunker under a hospital in Beirut.....

....The perfidious approach, according to Hagari, is that the mullahs send suitcases full of money and gold by plane to Lebanon and then to the Iranian embassy there. From there, the suitcases go straight into the hands of Hezbollah terrorists . Hezbollah has also opened factories in Lebanon, Syria, Yemen and Turkey. ....

I hope they get them next!

True!

News / Polish military contingent in Lebanon. [169]


It doesn't count because they don't have to. The Japanese won't want them to leave, as don't want the Germans around Ramstein! :) They are not seen as occupants or enemies...


I still can't get over the fact that the West/NATO/Germany seemingly convinced Ukraine to give up their sole weapon which would have hindered the russian invasion in the first place...any invasion from anybody actually...their nukes!

They did it because of the promise of safety, of support from the West....and maybe even a NATO membership, sometime later.

It now seems it was a bad deal...the other option would be an Ukraine with Nukes but out of NATO....with hindsight definitely better!

Na ja....lets see....Okinawa is like the german Ramstein, I guess....that doesn't count....Cuba is struggling and really don't doing well, we might see them shedding their dictatorship still during our lifetimes...that would make Gitmo then more like the cuban Okinawa/Ramstein...

Western troops in arab regions is a different beast altogether!

Frankly an important question!

If it would had been truly about liberation of the Ukrainians from Nazi rule....taking out the most important brains and supplanting them with more open ears (open to Moscow that is) should have proven alot less costly in men and material and probably faster successful too.

So why hadn't he used that lane? After all alot countries (Germany surely and now the US) are already blaming Putin with influencing their people's opinions, helping the opposition and trying to shove things his way in a rather more underhanded and subtle manner.

There is IMHO actually only one possible reason...it truly is about territory....to expand your borders and gain whole cities just isn't possible with pure "influencing"....for that you need an army, right?

News / Polish military contingent in Lebanon. [169]

....they should do it as the Mossad does....identify the main heads who are pulling the strings and take them out....one by one....one after the other....they should know that every action will cost them dearly....without having to invade and set army against army!

Fate! :)


Hmm.....I read the camp was called "Britenlager", because of the high number of british POWs....did you look already into the british archives too? Probably...but here are still some more links....

...they might have more resources to look into your family member, especially if you have the names and numbers, also maybe contacting the Russians...because of the high number of Brits this camp seems actually quite well known!

Good luck! *waves*

Did you already also have the Info from the Lexikon der Wehrmacht über den Standort Königshütte?....of course in German but online translation is possible:

....and some numbers for the files:

You could need them to ask more efficiently....

They would have better chances if they would go for peace with Israel...no more bombing...trusted with souvereignity and independence....they should try it some time!

So....defending your people against baby killers and kidnappers who break into your homes to rape and maim is now equal to genocide?

You know Pawi, recently it has become ridiculous....everybody and their grandmom can now (and often enough is) being called a Nazi...even if it is only a political opponent!
Remember Putin calling the ukrainian gov Nazis and justifying his invasion with wanting to liberate them?

Maybe we should end that....it is kind of a worthless insult now! (Contrary to real proof like pictures!)

Pawi....you won't see any Jews/Israelis with Nazi-signs....but Arabs....especially Palis:

I HAD to google that....of course....and that what I found...ahem....*drumroll*....the geographical centre(s) of Europe:



This map shows in red points some of the locations of claimants to the title of Centre of Europe: Dilove (Rakhiv, Ukraine), Krahule (or Kremnické Bane, Slovakia), Dresden and Kleinmaischeid (Germany), Toruń and Suchowola (Poland), Bernotai, or Purnuškės (Lithuania)

(...I never heard of Kleinmaischeid before, though, heh:)

We should our footie teams let play it out!

If it's about a translation Google would do a good first try for the whole website:

Is Israel to blame for that or the murderers from the Hamas?

Do they?

They throw their easy earned oil money onto their own tribe members, whose tribal chief is god-like.....everybody else, doing the real works, is more or less a foreigner and a slave....and that was that!

Do you call that "function efficiently"?

If so, then why all the fuss about democracy and peoples rights?

Nah...not only!

In the 20th century, approximately 900,000 Jews migrated, fled, or were expelled from Muslim-majority countries throughout Africa and Asia. Primarily a consequence of the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, the mass movement mainly transpired from 1948 to the early 1970s, with one final exodus of Iranian Jews occurring shortly after the Islamic Revolution in 1979-1980. An estimated 650,000 (72%) of these Jews resettled in Israel.[1]....

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_exodus_from_the_Muslim_world

The Arabs didn't want to live with their Jews....but they don't allow them their own state either....they just want them dead!

....The first large-scale exoduses took place in the late 1940s and early 1950s, primarily from Iraq, Yemen, and Libya. In these cases, over 90% of the Jewish population left, despite the necessity of leaving their assets and properties behind.[4] Between 1948 and 1951, 250,000 Jews immigrated to Israel from Arab countries.[5] In response, the Israeli government implemented policies to accommodate 600,000 immigrants over a period of four years, doubling the country's Jewish population.[6]

Without an Israel...where would they had gone? Back to Europe? After the Holocaust?
