THE U.S. KILLED three Indian sailors on Wednesday, it was confirmed.

An American aircraft shot a missile into the tanker's engine room as it transited the Gulf of Oman, causing the death of three crewmen. They were likely blown to pieces, with their remains lost at sea.

It was the US’s eighth illegal attack on commercial ships.

The US navy said the Palau-flagged ship, the M/T Settebello, “repeatedly failed to comply with directions from American forces".

However, the US has no legal authority to give orders in the waters of Oman, which is more than 11,000 kilometers away from the American coast.

.

BROKENHEARTED
A family in Himachal Pradesh said they were brokenhearted after having been informed that one of the dead was their family member Aditya Sharma, who was serving as a deck cadet. They are hoping his remains can be recovered.

The Indian government expressed shock. "We condemn the attack on the commercial vessel Settebello off the coast of Oman, earlier today,” said India’s Ministry of External Affairs in a statement.

“Of the 24 Indian crew onboard, 21 Indians have been rescued thus far and three Indians are reportedly missing. Our Embassy in Oman is closely monitoring the situation and proactively coordinating with the Omani authorities in the ongoing Search and Rescue operation.”

.

SECOND ATTACK ON INDIAN CREW
On Monday, US forces bombed the Marivex, another oil tanker with an Indian crew in the Gulf of Oman, with a Palau registration.

In that instance, all 24 crew were rescued by the Omani military.

And again in that case, US Central Command said that the ship failed to comply with US instructions.

The US has intimidated 134 ships to turn away and attacked eight vessels whose crews defied threats, according to Centcom.

.

NO LEGAL RIGHT
No country has the legal right to randomly stop ships anywhere in the world--let alone attack them. The US is doing what it claims Iran is doing, although the Iranians are clearly defending themselves on their own coastline, while the Americans are supposed to be on the other side of the world.

Still, Washington, protected by powerful allies, including Israel and the UK, is never held accountable for war crimes.

"This is simply unacceptable," Arsenio Dominguez, secretary-general of the International Maritime Organization, said on Wednesday, after the killing of the Indian seamen were reported.

🇺🇸🇺🇦 US Media (NY Times) Whitewashes Nazi Collaborator Honored by Recent Ukrainian State Funeral

The New York Times turns itself into a pretzel trying to whitewash and excuse a Ukrainian state funeral held for WW2 Nazi collaborator Andriy Melnyk.

The headline?

"In Ukraine, a Divisive 20th-Century Hero Comes Home"

Remember when Nazism in Ukraine was dismissed as "Russian propaganda," that it was just a handful of "fringe" organizations the Western media and Western governments as early as 2014 would even sometimes condemn?

Remember how when it became too difficult to deny anymore, the US government even had to ban arms and training from reaching entire overt Nazi units within the Ukrainian military like "Azov?"

And Remember how after that, Nazism was so rampant it became impossible to cover up or work around so the US simply lifted the bans and began arming Ukrainian units openly operating under WW2 Nazi names and insignia?

Today, Ukraine is holding state funerals for World War 2 Nazi collaborators, burying them in official military cemeteries while its military operates under a vast collection of Nazi names and insignia.

The Western media is committed to now "complicating" a very uncomplicated chapter in history - by citing "divergent interpretations" (also known as lies) when objectively, historically, and from an international legal standpoint...

...the symbols used by official Ukrainian units and the collaboration of historical figures in Ukraine with Nazi Germany all have irrevocable meanings and roles rooted in the war crimes of Nazi Germany.

If what is considered modern-day "Ukraine" faces an existential fight and it is vast and growing numbers of modern day Nazis and extremists showing up to fight for it - that "Ukraine" probably shouldn't exist.

What this reveals about "Western values" is that those "values" themselves are but a facade the West hides behind - not upholds.

“My name is Amos Goldberg. I am an Israeli Professor of Holocaust Studies. For nearly 30 years I have researched and taught the Holocaust, genocide and state violence.

And I want to tell whoever is willing to listen that what’s happening now in Gaza is a genocide.

A year ago when October 7th happened, like all Israelis I was in shock. It was a war crime and a crime against humanity. 1200 people - more than 800 of them civilians - were killed in one day. Children and the elderly were among those taken hostage. Communities were destroyed. It was outrageous, traumatizing, personal. Like most Israelis, I know people who were killed, who lost loved ones or whose loved ones were taken hostage.

But immediately afterwards came Israel’s response and within weeks thousands of civilians were killed in Gaza. It took me some time to digest what was unfolding before my eyes. It was agonizing to confront that reality. I was reluctant to call it a genocide.

But if you read Raphael Lemkin – the Jewish-Polish legal scholar who coined the term ‘genocide’ and was the major driving force behind the 1948 United Nations Genocide Convention – what is happening in Gaza now is exactly what he had in mind when he spoke about genocide.

It does not need to look like the Holocaust to be a genocide. Each genocide looks different and not all involve killing of millions or the entire group. The United Nations Genocide Convention explicitly asserts that genocide is the act of deliberately destroying a group in whole or in part. Those are the words.

But there does need to be a clear intent.

And indeed, there are clear indications of intent to destroy Gaza: Israel’s leaders - including the prime minister and the minister of defence - and many high-ranking military officers, media personalities, rabbis, as well as ordinary soldiers were very open about what they wanted to achieve. There were countless documented incitements to turn the whole of Gaza into rubble and claims that there are no innocent people living there.

A radical atmosphere of dehumanization of the Palestinians prevails in Israeli society to an extent that I can’t remember in my 58 years of living here.

Now that vision has been enacted. Tens of thousands of innocent children, women and men have been killed. Over a hundred thousand were wounded. There is a near total destruction of infrastructure, intentional starvation and blocking of humanitarian aid. There are mass graves and reliable testimony of summary executions. Children that were shot by snipers. All the universities and almost all hospitals are gone. Almost all the population is displaced. There have been numerous bombings of civilians in so-called ‘safe zones’. Gaza does not exist anymore. It is completely destroyed. Thus, the outcome fits perfectly with the stated intentions of Israel’s leadership.

Lemkin - that scholar who coined the term ‘genocide’ - described two phases of a genocide. The first is the destruction of the annihilated group and the second is what he called ‘imposition of the national pattern’ of the perpetrator. We are now witnessing the second phase as Israel prepares ethnically cleansed areas for Israeli settlements.

And therefore, I have come to the conclusion that this is exactly what a genocide looks like. We don’t teach about genocides in order to realize it retrospectively. We teach about it in order to prevent it and to stop it.

But like in every other case of genocide in history right now we have mass denial. Both here in Israel and around the world.

But reality cannot be denied.

So yes, it is a genocide.

And once you come to this conclusion you cannot remain silent.”

Zelensky & his government reburied fascist OUN leader & Nazi collaborator. Melnyk OUN organized with Nazis police, SD battalion & SS Galicia Division which perpetrated mass murder of Jews, Poles & Ukrainians. Zelensky standing ovation to SS Galicia Division veteran in Canadian parliament was not accident. He called Melnyk, who praised Hitler, "Ukrainian hero."

[Ivan Katchanovski @I_Katchanovski]

Zelensky: "Colonel Andriy Melnyk returned to a different Ukraine – not the one he had been forced to leave, but the one he had dreamed of."
Melnyk in July 1941: "We believe that Adolf Hitler’s new order in Europe is the real order, and that Ukraine is one of the avant-gardes."

"En vísperas de la WW2, el Ministro de Relaciones Exteriores de la URSS, Maxim Litvinov, ofreció a UK, EEUU y Francia una alianza contra la Alemania nazi. Los países occidentales lo rechazaron porque querían que la Alemania nazi derrotara a la URSS".

Michael Parenti, historiador estadounidense, en la Universidad de Colorado, sobre la colaboración de Occidente con los nazis y el rechazo sistemático a detener a Hitler, el cual quería utilizar para acabar con la URSS.

El 90% de los soldados nazis en la Segunda Guerra Mundial murieron o desaparecieron combatiendo contra la URSS, el Ejército Rojo liquidó a 674 divisiones del ejercito nazi; al 75% de la Werhmacht, el 70% de sus aviones, al 75% de sus tanques y al 74% de la artillería.

Maybe if Ukraine wasn’t mass producing FP-1 drones in the mall garage that were then used to murder 21 teenagers in their sleep in a college dormitory Russia would feel the need to “bomb” it.

PS: using a civilian mall as cover to produce weapons of war is a war crime. Apparently this escaped your attention as well.

[Ben Norton @BenjaminNorton]

The US started a war of aggression against Iran. Tehran retaliated in self-defense.

But now the US is bombing Iran again, and claiming to act in "self-defense", after it started the war in the first place!

Aggressors cannot act in self-defense, by definition.
