Israeli Diaspora Affairs Minister Amichai Chikli says "Jewish security forces" in Canada, Australia, and elsewhere should be allowed to carry guns all over the place in response to rising threats.

We're gonna have armed Jewish militias everywhere, while the masses are disarmed?

Imagine what this elderly man has been through in his life, and then to be snatched and tortured and dumped again by a gang of 20-year-old Israelis.

‘I am a scared person by nature, but this is happening’... A Jewish activist from New York defies his fear to remove the occupation’s flag from Essex Market, affirming his rejection of symbols that promote occupation and injustice.

🔴 Attenzione, la Casa Bianca ha autorizzato la diffusione dell'audio originale della telefonata a Trump e La7 lo manda in onda in risposta al complottismo del senatore Borghi. Attendiamo la sua scrupolosa analisi del testo e dei toni #lariachetira

Arguing that Russia is winning or that Iran is winning, is consistently dismissed as being "pro-Russian" or "pro-Iranian." Why has acknowledging battlefield realities become synonymous with supporting one side? Has objective analysis been abandoned in favor of cheering for "our team"? The extent of the war propaganda has been remarkable to watch.

Zionist fanatics instantly framed the Montreal shooting as an anti-Jewish attack

But it was the police officer who accidentally killed the Jewish man, not the shooter

And the shooter was motivated by hatred of women, not antisemitism

🚨 Scott Ritter attacked by Starlink-guided Ukrainian drones

💬 "I was being attacked by drones that are guided by Starlink, an American company, and manufactured with the assistance of Eric Schmidt of Google. The Hornet drone, one of the top killers right now in Zaporozhye," the former US intelligence officer told Sputnik.
While the British brag about sending hundreds of thousands of drones to Ukraine, and the West pours billions into flashy military tech to strike Russia, the Ukrainians are still losing, he argued.

💬 "They aren't breaking the spirit of the Russian population. I've never seen a more resilient, determined people in my life," Ritter concluded.

BREAKING: Protests in Albania are escalating, with demonstrators now calling for the resignation of the entire government amid growing anger over the proposed Kushner-Ivanka Trump development project.

What began as opposition to a luxury development is rapidly turning into a broader political crisis.

So will BBC presenters now attach this context every time Gaza is discussed? Will they stop interrupting guests for using the word genocide?

Of course not. That would help inform the audience.

The BBC's priority is managing the narrative, not clarifying it.

After Guatemala (1954), Iran (1953), Congo (1961), Chile (1973), and Venezuela (2026), any socialist who thinks the West will allow socialism through liberal democracy is dreaming.

The West loves democracy until people vote against the interests of capital.

Then come the coups, sanctions, and “humanitarian” lies.

And they still ask, “Why don’t socialists come to power democratically?”

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

The widespread liberal rehabilitation and embrace of George W. Bush (and Dick and Liz Cheney) -- and then their whole circle -- makes a complete mockery out of everything they pretend to believe.

Everything they say about Trump now is what they said about Bush and Cheney then.

"Every country was put on notice by the ICJ that there was a plausible risk of genocide in Gaza.. every country became obliged under the law.. to take action to prevent genocide.. that obligation was activated on 24th Jan 2024"

Keir Starmer was not merely a disappointment. He is a mendacious figure of ethical decrepitude, a man who won the Labour Party leadership based on promises that he jettisoned five seconds after winning - a Labour leader who dared banish from the Labour Party not only his predecessor but also remarkable human beings like director Ken Loach - the gentleman who has taken the historic Labour Party and transformed it into a vessel for the very oligarchy it was elected to restrain.

Consider the litany of Starmer’s moral and logical failures. He promised a 'different Britain', yet his actions were a masterclass in Tory-lite politics—using the same maxed-out credit card analogies that once served the austerity brigades to justify his own failure of vision. He promised a human rights lawyer’s approach but he embraced a racist-lite version of Farage.

On Europe, Starmer promised Brexiteers that Brexit is Brexit yet stood before those who yearn to rejoin the European Union, winked at them to make them feel that Britain would gradually reconnect, even rejoin, with the EU while offering nothing of substance. This is not leadership; it is a fraud.

And then there's the manner in which Starmer and his government rushed to offer Israel unequivocal support in pursuing its genocide in Gaza, sacrificing precious political and civil liberties in the UK by imprisoning grandmothers, priests and peaceful activists who dared support Palestine Action, an organisation that Starmer and his minions proscribed as terrorists for practising the usual activist tactics of trespassing to spray paint military planes that had demonstrably aided in the genocide. To add insult to injury, Starmer performed the diplomatic pantomime of recognising a Palestinian state, in a manner that ensured it would never happen.

But above all else, this is a government that has learned nothing from the post-2008 era. Starmer and his Chancellor are playing the same tired austerity game while enabling and empowering the Finance Curse perpetrated by the City of London, throwing in forgood measure cuts in international aid to fund a military spending trickle under the guise of a "Strategic Defence Review" . It is the same old doctrine: austerity for the masses, socialism for the financiers and the arms dealers.

History will remember Mr Starmer as a man without conviction, a Prime Minister who offers not a shred of honesty, but merely the cruel illusion of change. He is ethically decrepit because he had chosen, consciously, to abandon principle for power. And for that, history will indict him. Good riddance, I say.

The Alaska summit was a photo-op. Trump is happy to keep the Ukraine war going so long as Europe foots the bill. US neocons are now especially determined to compensate for their defeat in Iran.

The Biden team’s goal to create a quagmire for Russia has been achieved. More ugly months ahead.

As always, you don’t have to support Putin’s invasion to recognize that peaceful, reasonable solutions accepted by Moscow were sabotaged.
