"Following the near-miss incident involving Maersk Gibraltar yesterday and yet another attack on a container vessel today, we have instructed all Maersk vessels in the area bound to pass through the Bab al-Mandab Strait to pause their journey until further notice," the company said in a statement.

Shoot first, ask questions later and/or just following the Protocols in regards to their "lesser brethren"?

The Protocols make it quite clear that 'anti-semitism', meaning 'anti-Judaic', is an 'indispensable' part of the plan for world domination. It will be used for 'the management of our lesser brethren'. This document makes chilling reading for both Jews and Gentiles alike when one looks back to the treatment of Jewry during the Second World War; that a self-appointed elite should be willing to sacrifice and allow the persecution of their 'lesser brethren', for the greater aim of world domination, should be a wake-up-call to all of Jewry, the vast majority of whom constitute what the authors of the Protocols deem to be 'lesser brethren'.

'Anti-Semitic' is a phrase which means 'against Semites' but has come to be used solely as meaning 'anti-Jewish'. The irony inherent in this ill-used phrase is that the Semitic Arabs are actually amongst the greatest victims in the crime and fraud known as Zionism, in which Russian Jews, who are racially non-Semitic, in the first half of the Twentieth Century, fostered and executed a plan (as prophesied by God through Ezekiel 11:15) to create an officially recognised Jewish homeland in Palestine. The result of which was the mass displacement and persecution of the indigenous Arab citizens. This is without doubt 'anti-semitism' at its worst. And yet to state this plain fact openly today is to invite the accusation of being 'anti-Semitic'! I will also show in this work that the ordinary Jewish people, unbeknownst to themselves, have been victims to the same ancient agenda and are considered by the Elders to be necessary sacrifices to their cause. The Illuminati and The Protocols.

HAMAS LEADER OFFICIAL STATEMENT 14DEC2023

“Before discussing human rights, Macron should return Algerian skulls from French museums," says Hamas official Osama Hamdan. The skulls, belonging to Algerian resistance fighters from the 19th-century French war, were taken as war trophies and are now held in France. They serve as a stark reminder of the colonial history and France's long-standing contentious relationship with Algeria.”

TURKISH LAW MAKER COLLAPSES MID-SPEECH

Hasan Bitmez, 53, a member of parliament from the Islamist Saadet Partisi died Thursday at the Ankara City Hospital. The death came days after Bitmez collapsed at the Turkish Grand National Assembly on Tuesday immediately after criticizing the Turkish government’s policy regarding the Israel-Hamas war. In a translated version of his speech on Tuesday, Bitmez said, "Even if history remains silent, the truth will not remain silent. They think that if they get rid of us, there will be no problem. However, if you get rid of us, you will not be able to escape the torment of conscience. Even if you escape the torment of history, you will not be able to escape the wrath of God."

BP suspends Red Sea shipping transits after attacks

BP has decided to halt all oil and gas shipments through Red Sea after its ships were attacked by Houthi rebels.

Oil and natural gas giant BP has joined the growing list of companies that have halted their shipments through the Red Sea because of the risk of attack from Yemen's Houthi rebels, threatening a major trade route in what is expected to have global effects.

London-based BP said Monday that it has "decided to temporarily pause all transits through the Red Sea," including shipments of oil, liquid natural gas and other energy supplies. Describing it as a "precautionary pause," the company said the decision was under ongoing review but that it was prioritizing crew safety .

Red Sea Maritime Coalition Kicks Off As Tanker Hit By Missiles

The United States and nine other countries have joined together for Operation Prosperity Guardian as Houthi attacks continue unabated.

As expected, the U.S. military has kicked off a new multi-national maritime coalition to respond to escalating missile and drone attacks by Iranian-backed Houthi militants in Yemen. The Houthis' actions, including new attacks just today, have seriously disrupted commercial shipping in and around the Red Sea. The War Zone was the first to report over the weekend that the announcement of this initiative, dubbed Operation Prosperity Guardian, was imminent.

Yemen rebels ‘will not stop’ Red Sea attacks: Houthi official

Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels said Tuesday they would not halt attacks on Red Sea shipping despite the announcement by the United States of a new maritime protection force.

“Even if America succeeds in mobilising the entire world, our military operations will not stop… no matter the sacrifices it costs us,” senior Houthi official Mohammed al-Bukhaiti said on X, formerly Twitter.

Considering that only ships to Israel were being threatened and Russian ships are allowed to travel the Red Sea, this is an interesting update:

’Israel’ is endangering the world in the Red Sea:

At the beginning of operations, Yemen spokesperson instructed vessels to keep their Automatic Identification Systems (AIS) ON and that 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗹𝘀 𝗲𝗻 𝗿𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗜𝘀𝗿𝗮𝗲𝗹 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗲 𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗱.

Now all vessels are forced (by who ?) to turn off their AIS, so Ansar Allah cannot indentify which of them are linked to Israel. https://twitter.com/MilitaryEye/status/1737513698825035830

Unlikely that Russia will turn off their own ID systems:

Russian vessels may not be directly at risk of attack from Houthi militants — after all, Russia and the Houthis are both being supported in their wars by Tehran. But that doesn’t rule out the risk of a ship carrying Russian oil being hit by mistake.

France Withdraws Naval Support for Operation Prosperity Guardian in Red Sea

France has announced the withdrawal of its naval support from Operation Prosperity Guardian, the US-led coalition aimed at safeguarding against Houthi rebel attacks in the Red Sea. The decision comes as a surprising move that could have significant implications for the stability of the region.

The announcement was made on Twitter by Jackson Hinkle, a prominent political commentator, who tweeted a photo depicting the withdrawal. The image shows French naval vessels leaving the area, highlighting the physical manifestation of France’s decision.

French Navy Escorts CMA CGM Ships While US Ships Remain Stranded

UPDATE: France has agreed to remain but under the condition they do not have to follow American orders. They declined to comment on deploying more naval forces. Spain and Italy both left.

Operation Prosperity Guardian, the pivotal US-led mission to secure vital merchant shipping lanes through the Red Sea, is facing another critical setback. gCaptain’s recent reports highlight a troubling trend: a glaring absence of key allies, notably including AUKUS member Australia, in this international initiative. Compounding the situation, the French Navy, a cornerstone of the coalition, has withdrawn support, possibly temporarily, to focus on helping French-owned ships. This decisive move comes as US leadership faces mounting criticism among US shipowners for leaving American sailors dangerously exposed within range of Houthi forces, without adequate protection.

To be clear it is uncertain if the French withdrawal from Operation Prosperity Guardian is permanent or just a temporary shift of priorities to national interests.

Captain has received reports, confirmed by Dr. Sal Mercogliano, that the French Navy has shifted their focus away from US-led Operation Prosperity Guardian after a representative allegedly stormed out of the operation’s first meeting with US officials. The French have begun escorting their own cargo ships, including the containerships CMA CGM Pegasus , CMA CGM George Washington and APL Salalah, through the Red Sea. At the heart of this unfolding drama is a critical question: which ships deserve protection? While the French have shown a clear intent to prioritize their own shipping interests, the US approach has left its own American-flagged ships stranded in the region, that have been – some for a full week – waiting for escort.

The Strait of Gibraltar, is a vital shipping route for global trade, with an average of 300 ships passing through it each day. This represents approximately 20% of the world's total maritime trade and 80% of the EU's oil and gas imports.

"They shall soon await the closure of the Mediterranean Sea, (the Strait of) Gibraltar and other waterways," Tasnim quoted Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Naqdi, coordinating commander of the Guards, as saying.

Iran Threatens Mediterranean Closure over Gaza, without Saying How

An Iranian Revolutionary Guards commander said the Mediterranean Sea could be closed if the United States and its allies continued to commit "crimes" in Gaza, Iranian media reported on Saturday, without explaining how that would happen.

Iran backs Hamas against Israel and it accuses the United States of backing what it calls Israeli crimes in Gaza, where weeks of bombardment have killed thousands of people and driven most of the population from their homes.

"They shall soon await the closure of the Mediterranean Sea, (the Strait of) Gibraltar and other waterways," Tasnim quoted Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Naqdi, coordinating commander of the Guards, as saying.

Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthi group has over the past month attacked merchant vessels sailing through the Red Sea in retaliation for Israel's assault on Gaza, leading some shipping companies to switch routes.

The White House on Friday said Iran was "deeply involved" in planning operations against commercial vessels in the Red Sea.

Iran has no direct access to the Mediterranean itself and it was not clear how the Guards could attempt to close it off, although Naqdi talked of "the birth of new powers of resistance and the closure of other waterways".

"Yesterday, the Arabian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz became a nightmare for them, and today they are trapped ... in the Red Sea," Naqdi was quoted as saying.

The only groups backed by Iran on the Mediterranean are Lebanon's Hezbollah and allied militia in Syria, at the far end of the sea from Gibraltar.
