⛔️Major developments ‼️

⛔️ Former head of Israel’s Shin Bet, Ronan Bar, filed a law suit against wanted war criminal Netanyahu, alleging the latter had received no less than twenty warnings of the precise character and of the approximate date of the Hamas attack.

⛔️Formerly, nine warnings were cited in YNet, Ha’aretz and Maariv. It has now become increasingly unreasonable not to suppose that Netanyahu was a complicit actor in the Hamas attack, an organisation he had funded, directly and indirectly, for almost twenty years, and about which he possessed precise internal intelligence.

⛔️Thus Netanyahu could not only have prevented the attack, but now appears to have been proactively enabling the attack, to manufacture a pretext to ethnically cleanse Gaza, while simultaneously using the attack to disrupt charges supported by three hundred witnesses that Netanyahu had presided over a twenty year reign of corruption, gangster-like coercion, malfeasance and repeated breaches of international law.‼️

Former  #Turkey PM Erbakan’s son to  #Azerbaijan on hijab: “Even in Armenian schools, wearing the headscarf is permitted. Regrettably, I must point out, Mr Aliyev, that not even Armenia imposes on its citizens the restrictions that you see fit to impose on your own people.”

His party is an ultraconservative one, and does not have wide majority support in Turkish society, but nonetheless, joins other conservative sectors in the country criticising Aliyev’s ban on headscarves.Dr. Fatih Erbakan (@erbakanfatih)Sayın Aliyev; Üzülerek ifade etmek isterim ki SİZİN BU YAPTIĞINIZI ERMENİSTAN YAPMIYOR!
