Imperial War Museum: How a WWII British Anderson Shelter Saved the Lives of My Family! (26.10.2023)

There were different types of government-provided air-raid shelters issued during WWII. However, the version depicted here – is very close to that issued to my mother’s family (surnamed ‘Gibson’) who lived in Lewisham, South London. During September, 1940, the Nazi Germany ‘Luftwaffe’ blanket-bombed East London and killed and wound thousands of British people. During the entire 18-months of the ‘Blitz’ – the Luftwaffe inflicted 40,000 casualties in London and 70,000 all across the UK! My family lived in a three-storied house in Fordyce Road – with a generation living on each floor.

Palestine: Al-Qassam Brigades Drone-Strike a Cluster of Zionist Infantry! (2.11.2023)

A drone costs pennies to make and does not require a pilot to sit in it and guide it. This is very different to the warplanes of the West that cost millions to construct and which require highly trained and very valuable pilots (some of whom become Astronauts, etc). Furthermore, the Zionist Airforce has devastated Palestine in the past with the Palestinians being unable to respond in anyway. Of course, the Soviet-supplied Service-to-Air-Missiles (SAM) devastated the Zionist Airforce in 1973 – wiping it out in under an hour – but such victories have been rare. The Zionist troops featured here – seem completely stunned as to what has happened – and do not know what to do!
