I long for the day the name "Israel" will end in the same place of our memories as the name "Rhodesia" or "Indochina".

The zionist entity has no right to exist

It would be dismantled piece by piece. Gaza, West bank, Jerusalem, Haifa, Tel aviv... Like it or not. Cry, yell, curse, vociferate, invent more lies, blackmail, humiliate, torture, quote the bible, kill more babies in vain, roll on the floor in antisemitism. And the higher the pills of deaths to impose your domination the more enemies you create even within your allies. My words make you laugh? It's fine, Hubris always comes before the fall. You don't see it yet but it's coming. This is the natural direction of history. Zionists leaders harshly punished, their zealous followers send back from the 2348938457 countries they, their parents or their grandparents comes from. And for those left, if the indigenous Palestinians still wants you around and if you accept to live in a real democracy with equal rights for Muslims, Christians and Jews, you might stay. But it's up to them!

To those who choose humanity: don't despair! The tyranny will end, the beast is always the most vicious and dangerous when deadly wounded. Be resilient and patient. It happened in Apartheid South Africa, in French Algeria, in Rhodesia now Zimbabwe, in India, in Indochina now Vietnam. and so much more decolonised countries. The settlers left, some stayed and accepted to integrate into the native society.

Too much blood has been spilled in Gaza (5% of the total population in February 2024), too much innocent children have been sacrificed, too much people around the world have seen disgusting images we wish we have never seen. We are fed up, so fed up by the utter arrogance of the evil entity from their degenerate leaders to their citizens happily doing rave party while blocking aid trucks and creating famine few miles away... There is no coming back. Don't you understand? This is the last racist colony in the world. And this is the world war of our generation.

Humanity against Evil.

Ottoman Empire on the left, Indochina on the right.

Severely underestimated by its rivals, the Ottoman Empire inflicted severe defeats on the French and Commonwealth armies who thought they would win on the enemy's ground. Sporting dark blue uniforms and red fez hats at the start of the war, they soon switched to a more desert-appropriate uniform and their iconic sun headdress, the Kabalak.

The brave Indochinese riflemen (Lính tập in Vietnamese, Tirailleurs indochinois in French) were part of the colonial troops stationed in Indochina. Though they had seen regular service in previous conflicts, the French were initially reluctant to deploy them in WWI. Eventually, 40,000 of them saw service on the Western and Macedonian fronts.

Spike Team Idaho: Last radio message. “Team Okay”

The men of ST Idaho, two Americans and four South Vietnamese indigenous troops, were tasked with locating enemy forces and activity in the A Shau Valley.

ST Idaho was comprised of One-Zero, or team leader, Glen Oliver Lane, One-One, or assistant team leader Robert Duval Owen, and four skilled South Vietnamese indigenous troops.

The highly experienced ST Idaho inserted on the morning hours of May 20, 1968. They sent the standard “Team Okay,” over the net. That was the last time anyone heard or saw them.
