I have not been able to get to the Burg for a couple of days. Got a 404 Not Found. It turns out that my bookmark is

whereas it should be

If there was a redirect from http to https, it isn't redirecting anymore. It was working a couple of days ago. Obviously, now that I know, I can just change the bookmark. But it may be affecting others who didn't think of that.

A small selection of desperate attention seekers and other p3rverts for a pair of small protests that the authorities allowed themselves to be intimidated by.
[IsraelTimes] Thunberg, UN’s Albanese join the one-day general strike against so-called war budget; activists block access to Italian defense company offices, are dispersed by water cannon
Strikes and protests in Italia on Friday against the government’s support for Israel and increased military spending caused the cancellation of dozens of flights and disrupted train services around the country.
Hundreds of protesters marched in Turin,
Hundreds? Golly — that kind of protest can be broken with a single police charge, should they bestir themselves to do so…
many waving Paleostinian flags, and another march in Genoa was attended by UN Special Rapporteur on Paleostinian rights La Belle Francesca Albanese and former Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis.
No number given, so possibly the number is in dozens, instead.
Swedish activist Greta "Pippi" Thunberg ...an autistic sixteen year old Swedish expert on climate change, though I guess she's older now... , who joined two anti-Israel flotillas that attempted to reach Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... earlier this year, also participated in the protests.
Demonstrators held signs calling for "Free Mohammed Shahin," referring to a holy man who is slated to be deported from Italia after calling Hamas ..the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,... ’s October 7, 2023, attack an "act of resistance" at a rally on the massacre’s anniversary.
The one-day action was called by the hardline USB union along with smaller worker organizations.
Recent years have seen the emergence of the USB as an aggressive grass-roots union which is challenging the traditional dominance of the three main confederations, the left-wing CGIL and the centrist CISL and UIL.
In a video published earlier this month, Albanese, who has a history of antisemitic and anti-Israel comments, declared that the "genocide" in Gaza is ongoing and urged Italians to take part in the strike.
Due to the strikes, Milan’s Malpensa canceled at least 27 flights, while Bologna scrapped at least 17. Other affected airports include Milan’s Linate, Naples and Venice. Italia’s flagship carrier ITA Airways said it had canceled 26 domestic flights due to the strikes.
Train cancellations were announced in the main stations of Rome, Turin, Milan and Genoa and protests prevented trains from stopping at the smaller Milan station of Lambrate.
Urban public transport services were disrupted in Rome and several other cities.
In Venice, activists blocked access to the offices of Italian defense group Leonardo before they were dispersed by police via water cannon.
The USB has organized another national day of protest on Saturday against what it calls Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s "war budget," saying the 2026 financial bill favors military spending over much-needed investment in health, education and welfare.
Meloni, in power since 2022, has called the budget "serious, balanced and responsible," pointing to its income tax cuts for middle-earners, which she says can help Italia’s sluggish economy.
The more mainstream CGIL, Italia’s largest union, has announced a nationwide strike of its own members over the budget on December 12.
Members of the ultra-Orthodox, anti-Zionist Neturei Karta group joined the rally in Genoa.
Those who hate Israel eagerly point to Neturei Karta as proof that “real Jews” hate Israel with them, ignoring the fact that the few thousand NKs are seriously out of alignment with the 15 million of the Jewish mostly-Zionist mainstream. And even those ultra-Orthodox who are anti-Zionist think NK parading itself in support of the Mad Mullahs, neo-Nazis, and pro-Hamas protests is seriously nuts.

Appropriate time for a PNG declaration and a quick boot out of Italy?
"Mein Führer, these Jews are most chosen,
Since time immemorial frozen
In caves in Ukraine and in Ungarn, insane."

And of course, of course, the trademark Totenkopf biberhit.
[IsraelTimes] The bodies of nine terror operatives were located by Israeli troops operating in eastern Rafah — an IDF-held area in the southern Gaza Strip where dozens of Hamas fighters were believed to be trapped in tunnels.
The military says the operatives were likely killed as a result of “intensive and focused IDF operations in the area,” which included airstrikes and demolitions of the tunnel routes.
The bodies of the nine operatives were located in the area of the tunnels by troops of the Nahal Brigade and elite Yahalom combat engineering unit, the army says.
In recent weeks, the IDF has reported killing over 30 terror operatives and capturing a further eight, after they tried to flee from the tunnels in Rafah.
The IDF has vowed to kill or capture all the remaining operatives on the Israeli side of the Yellow Line, separating Gaza in accordance with the October ceasefire agreement.
[IsraelTimes] A Palestinian man was killed by an Israeli drone strike this morning on Bani Suheila, east of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, Khan Younis’s Nasser Hospital says.
Bani Suheila is on the Israeli-controlled side of the Gaza ceasefire line.
The Palestinian Authority’s WAFA news agency also reports additional Israeli shelling of the area as well as airstrikes in Rafah, Gaza’s southernmost city, and gunfire from Israeli Navy ships on the Rafah beach.
[IsraelTimes] The IDF says it foiled an attempt to smuggle weapons into Israel from Jordan earlier today, arresting one suspect in the process.
Troops of the Lions of the Jordan Battalion, alongside police officers, captured two pistols that were being smuggled over the border, in the northern portion of the Jordan Valley, the military says.
One suspect was also detained in the area. The weapons and the suspect were taken by police for further investigation, the army adds.
[IsraelTimes] Tel Aviv University lecturer said it was time for ‘real rebellion’ against the government, tells PM: ‘We’re coming for you’; police accuse her of inciting violence
Police on Friday arrested anti-government activist Yolanda Yavor, a Tel Aviv University lecturer from Or Akiva, for social media posts allegedly inciting violence against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and others.
"The only choice is to be — that is, to fight the traitor, the mouthpieces, the damned collaborators and his bargain-bin Freikorps militias with all the strength and all means — or not to be," she wrote on Facebook.
"Make the right choice, my brothers and sisters," she said. "There won’t be another round."
"We said ’Democracy or rebellion,’ remember?" she added, referencing a popular chant at pro-democracy protests. "So rebellion it is. But a real one, like one imported from Romania, not AliExpress-meets-Kaplan."
She hashtagged "Dictators are not tossed at the ballot box," "Netanyahu is a traitor," and "We’re coming for you."
Yavor, a lecturer in TAU’s Department of Arabic and Islamic Studies, will be brought before a judge tomorrow at the Haifa Magistrate’s Court, with police seeking to extend her remand by five days.
Yavor was previously arrested for allegedly inciting against Netanyahu in September.
At the time she shared a video of the torching of the home of the Nepali prime minister and wrote a message encouraging such an act against Netanyahu. A judge suggested Yavor remove the post, to which she agreed, and she was sent to house arrest for several days, under several limitations.
[Rudaw] Syrian villagers described scenes of chaos and destruction after an overnight Israeli raid in Rif Dimashq province. "There were sounds of chaos and destruction. We thought it was just the usual Muezzin call to prayer!"
"It was around 3-4 o'clock late at night [early Friday]. We saw planes coming and heard the sound of bullets, sounds of chaos everywhere. My wife, my child and I were sleeping at home," Ghazwan Mohammed Hamadi told Rudaw on Friday. The resident of Beit Jinn village said his house was destroyed and two of his children were maimed.
Israel Defense Forces (IDF) carried out an early morning operation in the village, claiming to apprehend terror suspects, members of al-Jama’a al-Islamiyya.
"During the activity, several armed bully boyz shot up the troops. IDF soldiers responded with live fire, supported by aerial assistance," the IDF stated. "The operation concluded with all suspects apprehended and several bully boyz eliminated."
Six Israeli soldiers were maimed.
At least 13 people were killed, according to Syria’s health ministry.
"Thirteen people were martyred, about 20 injured were transferred to both Muwassat and Joulani hospitals," said ministry staff member Ziyad Mohammed Abu Hamda.
Two children were among the dead, Syrian state media reported.
"Planes, drones, artillery, missiles... I don’t know. We saw this area suddenly surrounded. I don’t know why... They took three people but we don’t know why. They entered their homes and took them," said another villager, Mohammed Hamadi.
"Their excuse was that Hamas ..the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,... and Hezbollah were here, but there's no one here," another resident said.
Dozens of families have fled the village, according to state-run al-Ikhbariya TV.
Israel carries out regular operations inside Syria. Following the collapse of the former Syrian regime last December, Tel Aviv has intensified efforts to destroy Damascus’s military assets, repeatedly entering buffer zones east of the Israel-annexed Golan Heights. Israel has occupied at least 10 positions inside Syrian territory, according to the UN.
Since the start of 2025, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights has documented more than 40 Israeli attacks in Syria, destroying around 50 sites, including weapons depots, headquarters, command centers, and vehicles.
In early November, Syria urged the UN Security Council to halt Israeli "attacks and incursions" into its territory. At a Security Council meeting in August, members called on all sides to abide by the 1974 disengagement agreement establishing a buffer zone between the two countries.

[IsraelTimes] The military is considering an expanded operation in southern Syria if it finds that Syrian government forces fired on soldiers during an arrest operation in Beit Jinn, Channel 13 says in an unsourced report.
According to Channel 13, if it is discovered that forces under Syria’s President Ahmed al-Sharaa took part in the gun battle, the Israel Defense Forces will launch airstrikes to eliminate targets and conduct fewer arrest operations.
The Kan public broadcaster reports that Israel has already identified that some of those planning attacks against IDF soldiers and the Druze community in Syria are a part of Sharaa’s intelligence forces.
According to the Israel Defense Forces, troops came under fire after they detained two members of the al-Jama’a al-Islamiyya (Islamic Group) terror organization, acting on intelligence information collected in recent weeks indicating that they were planning attacks on Israel.
The military said the troops returned fire, and the Israeli Air Force also provided support with strikes from helicopters and drones. Fighter jets also conducted several strikes on predetermined targets, the IDF said.
[IsraelTimes] Three seriously wounded; rocket-firing brothers nabbed in Beit Jinn; 13 said killed by IDF strikes after troops face fire; Syria denounces ‘war crime’
Six Israeli soldiers were maimed, including three seriously, after coming under fire by button men during an arrest operation in southern Syria early Friday morning, the military said.
The operation came as Israel is reportedly preparing for the possibility of attacks from Syria, either from Syrian troops or terror operatives.
According to the Israel Defense Forces, shortly before 3 a.m., soldiers of the 55th Reserve Paratroopers Brigade set out to the Syrian village of Beit Jinn — located some seven kilometers (4.3 miles) east of Israel’s border — to detain two members of the al-Jama’a al-Islamiyya (Islamic Group) terror organization, acting on intelligence information collected in recent weeks indicating that they were planning attacks on Israel.
The pair are brothers, with one considered by the IDF to be the "main" suspect. The military said that the pair had previously launched rockets at Israel.
Israeli troops arrested the two brothers while they were in their beds at home. As troops began leaving with the two suspects, they came under fire from unknown assailants, according to the IDF.
The military said the troops returned fire, and the Israeli Air Force also provided support with strikes from helicopters and drones. Fighter jets also conducted several strikes on predetermined targets, the IDF said.
According to Syrian media, at least 13 people were killed by the Israeli strikes. The military said that it had killed several button men in the fighting, without specifying a number.
Additionally, during the clash, a Syrian suspect who ran toward the Israeli forces was detained.
The gunfire mostly targeted an army Humvee, which got stuck. The troops inside were forced to abandon the vehicle inside Beit Jinn. Later, the IDF bombed the Humvee from the air to remove the risk of it being captured.
As a result of the gunfire, two officers and a reservist were seriously hurt. Another reservist was moderately injured, and two additional reserve soldiers were lightly hurt, the army said.
The troops were airlifted by IAF helicopters to hospitals in Israel for treatment. Two of the seriously injured soldiers were taken to Rambam Medical Center in Haifa and are currently receiving treatment in the surgical ward before being transferred to the intensive care unit.
Following the incident, Syria condemned the operation as a "war crime."
"Syria denounces... the criminal aggression" of the IDF, Syria’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement, adding that such acts aim to "ignite the region" in conflict.
The IDF has been deployed to nine posts inside southern Syria for nearly a year, since the fall of the Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad Trampler of Homs... regime in December 2024. They are mostly within a UN-patrolled buffer zone on the border between the countries. Two posts are on the Syrian side of Mount Hermon.
Troops have been operating in areas up to around 15 kilometers (nine miles) inside Syria, aiming to capture weapons that Israel says could pose a threat to the country if they fall into the hands of "hostile forces."
Al-Jama’a al-Islamiyya is a Sunni faction that forms part of the broader Moslem Brüderbund political network.
The armed wing of the group, the al-Fajr Forces, established in the 1980s, repeatedly targeted Israel from Leb ...The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities.

Only one of those statements is an exaggeration.... amid the war last year with Hezbollah, often working in conjunction with the Shiite Lebanese terror group.
They can fight about doctrine after the common enemy is destroyed, clearly.
Amid the war, the IDF said it struck members of the group as well as its infrastructure in both Lebanon and Syria.
The IDF said the group also closely cooperates with Hamas ..the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,... in both Lebanon and Syria, and maintains military sites in southern Lebanon and infrastructure along the Syria-Lebanon border and in the Beit Jinn area.
On Wednesday, Defense Minister Israel Katz told the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee that there are gangs within Syria that are considering invading Israel’s Golan Heights.
According to the Kan public broadcaster, Katz said that Israel is "not on track" for a security deal or normalization with Damascus, and is preparing for scenarios in which Syrian forces, or various militias within the country, attempt to attack Israeli communities or again threaten Syrian Druze communities.
Katz told the committee that Iran's Houthi sock puppets ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements.
