More Disregard for International Law: Moscow Hits Out at US-UK Attack on Yemen
Sputnik – 12.01.2024
MOSCOW – Strikes by the US and the UK on Yemen are another example of the distortion of UN Security Council resolutions and complete disregard for international law in the name of escalation in the region, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Friday.
The US and the UK carried out overnight airstrikes against Houthi positions in four governorates of Yemen, including the capital Sanaa and the cities of Al Hudaydah, Saada and Taiz, provincial government officials told Sputnik. The US and UK officials confirmed the airstrikes, saying these were targeting Houthi military facilities and positions in Yemen in response to attacks on commercial ships in the Red Sea and not civilian population centers.
“US airstrikes on Yemen are another example of the Anglo-Saxons’ distortion of UN Security Council resolutions and complete disregard for international law in the name of escalating the situation in the region for their own destructive purposes,” Zakharova wrote on Telegram.

The Old Testament and the Genocide in Gaza
“You will chase your enemies, and they shall fall by the sword before you. Five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight; your enemies shall fall by the sword before you.” – Leviticus, Chapter 26, verses 7-9
“When the Lord your God brings you into the land you are entering to possess and drives out before you many nations… then you must destroy them totally. Make no treaty with them and show them no mercy.” – Deuteronomy 7:1-2,
“…do not leave alive anything that breathes. Completely destroy them… as the Lord your God has commanded you…” – Deuteronomy 20:16

There is not much doubt amongst Biblical scholars that the Hebrew Bible contains some highly charged non-ethical suggestions, some of which are no less than a call for a genocide. Biblical scholar Raymund Schwager has found in the Old Testament 600 passages of explicit violence, 1000 descriptive verses of God’s own violent actions of punishment, 100 passages where God expressly commands others to kill people. Apparently, violence is the most often mentioned activity in the Hebrew Bible.
As devastating as it may be, the Hebrew Bible saturation with violence and extermination of others may throw some light over the horrifying genocide conducted momentarily in Gaza by the Jewish state. … continue

Galina Zakharova is deeply steeped in a wisdom tradition unequalled by most nowadays commentators of standing along the littorals of sunken Atlantis. Brought up by Soviet embassy personnel in China at the fall of Máo-ism and through the Dèng epoche, her Chinese speach (with a cultured Peking accent) and reading/writings skills are unparalelled by any figures in the Anglo-Zionist empire (aside from a few Israëli commanders), Her pronouncements are mouthballs of intellectual fire, while those of her opposing mouthe-peaces for The Eavil Empire only deserve to be moth-balled for future historical comedy performances.

It might also be of interest to point out that although the Russian leadership consist of persons educated in Law and Jurisprudence or engineering, most of them hve a solid command and grasp of more languages than only Russian:
— Putin speaks perfect German and has an excellent command of the English languige.
— Defence minister Shòigu is a native speaker of both the Tuva (turko-mongolic) and Russian languages, but also speaks and reads English, Turkish, some Arabicized Persian, and botht Chinese and some Japanese.
–Many in top military positions in Russuía and The Soviet Union have been Tartars from the VOlga or its Asiatic hinterlands.
–even historically, this lingueistic dexterity has a long tradition: The leader of Finland’s army during itts wars with The USSR was marchal Mannerheim, who had been a Czarist general. When he conversed with the Russian Czar, they always spoke in french, even though Mannerheim knew russian and spoke swedish, finnish and german from early boyhood of.
Of course, such cwalificatory standing were never no match for any set of present-day geniousses in Washington D.C. or in New York — or what?
