A concentration camp cannot be a state. Violence always arises from inhumane conditions; it is a consequence of a continuous occupation! What about the West Bank and Jerusalem?
Benjamin Netanyahu: "There was a Palestinian state, it's called Gaza. We didn't get peace. We got the most horrific massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. They want to massacre us again and teach their children to be suicide bombers."
He's 100% correct.
Here we have the US president declaring the Golan to be Israeli territory, and the so-called President of Syria responds with absolute silence.
-Not a word.
-Not a challenge.
-Not even a token objection.
If anyone still needed proof that he's nothing more than Washington's obedient puppet, this is it.
A "leader" who won't even defend his own country's territorial claims has surrendered both his credibility and his independence.
The vast majority of Ukrainians want immediate talks. What do European leaders do? They boycott diplomacy, finance Zelensky's corrupt hold on state power rather than calling for elections, send weapons, and push for the deportation of Ukrainians to feed their proxy war.
Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya ran one of Gaza's last hospitals. He refused to leave his patients even after Israel killed his own son in a drone strike.
Israel kidnapped him for it. 18 months in detention, tortured and beaten, for the crime of running a hospital.
He must be released.
Is dissent growing in the EU? Slovak MEP, Ľuboš Blaha, called Ukraine a fascist state and accused Von der Leyen of being a Nazi apologist who placed her hatred of Russia above European values.
- It should be noted that NATO placed these people in power, they were not elected by Ukrainians. Zelensky was elected in 2019, on a peace platform, yet that election platform was immediately overturned with NATO's "NGOs" and far-right militias.
Iran bombed ships going through the Strait of Hormuz so Trump bombs Iran, and oil prices start rising again and the stock market goes down making buying opportunities ripe again.
Then Trump goes back to saying he bombed Iran because “Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.”
Repeats it at least 60 times to the press today.
I didn’t realize Iran’s nuclear program was in the Strait of Hormuz controlling oil.
Feels more like post 9/11 Bush era Middle East war lies and war economy politics than any real concern about Iran having a nuclear weapon much like Iraq having weapons of mass destruction.
Literally what we voted to end from the Republican Party.
Maryam-e Moghaddas Station on the Tehran Metro is a tribute to Iran's Christian community
Walls in this station are adorned with New Testament verses, representations of Jesus Christ and portraits of martyred Christian citizens of Iran
The Metro is free during wartime
Riots in Lviv over the brutal forced conscription financed by NATO.
- The majority of Ukrainians want immediate negotiations to end the war. They are obviously not in the minds of our political-media establishment, who claim to "stand with Ukraine", while boycotting diplomacy and pushing for a long war.
Popular support and around a hundred representatives of
foreign countries representing half the countries attended the funeral.
Iran is far from being isolated and enjoys immense renown among countries of the Global South.
Massive turnout for the funeral of Ayatollah Khamenei. The failure to recognise the popular support for the Iranian government was a key reason for the failure of the US war. The Iranians were no more likely to assist the US in toppling their own government than the Iraqis were to welcome the US as liberators.
Why this disastrous miscalculation? Government-approved narratives in the West must always strip opponents of legitimacy in order to build the liberal democratic case for regime change and war. Any dissenting voices in the West can then be smeared as not caring about the people they are supposedly planning to "liberate" with bombs, or the dissenting voices are merely portrayed as traitors.
The consequence? We fall for our own war propaganda every time and then pay the price. Even if you hate and want to defeat Iran, Russia, China, and other opponents of Western global hegemony, it is surely still in your interest to get the analysis right.
NATO weapons, war planning, intelligence, target selection, and contractors are used to strike deeper and deeper into Russia, until Russia believes it has no other option than to retaliate. Our political leaders took us to war against Russia without even permitting a discussion or debate. When the retaliation comes, it will be obligatory to claim it was "unprovoked".
🔴 Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez:
▪ It's one thing to defend your country, and another to bomb hospitals or starve people.
▪ What Israel is doing is not self-defense, but the extermination of a defenseless people. 🇪🇸🇵🇸
The drummers at Tehran's Tajrish Square asked me to join them for a few minutes
They're playing a distinctively Shia style from southern Iran and Iraq called Dammam, named for the drum, which evokes the sounds of the battle of Karbala. The deep bass drums recreate the beating of horse hooves and the cymbals ring out like clashing swords.
The drummers came out for the popular rally that has filled Tajrish Square every night since the US and Israel imposed war on Iran last February
