Israel formally notified the United Nations on Monday of its decision to end its relationship with the UN’s Palestinian relief agency, UNRWA, which millions of Palestinians rely on to survive.
Israel said it was ending a 1967 agreement that regulated its relations with UNRWA. The move came a week after the Israeli Knesset passed legislation to ban UNRWA activities inside Israel and effectively end its operations in the West Bank and Gaza as well.
The legislation, which is set to fully take effect within 90 days of the bills being passed, prohibits any contact between UNRWA and Israeli authorities, making UNRWA aid deliveries into Gaza impossible. The US warned Israel against implementing the legislation, acknowledging it would mean cutting off food supplies to starving women and children, but that hasn’t stopped Israel from moving ahead with the plan.
UNRWA is responsible for the most significant humanitarian relief operations in Gaza, and the Israeli legislation did not include a plan to replace the agency’s efforts. The UN’s World Food Program said Monday that it was not in a position to replace UNRWA, pointing to its services, including “the administration of emergency shelters, schools, and health centers.”
Israel has waged war against UNWRA over the past year, killing over 200 of its staff members in Gaza. Israel has claimed a significant number of UNWRA’s staff are members of Hamas but has offered no evidence for the allegations, which have been strongly rejected by the UN agency.
The Israeli Knesset passed the bills to ban UNRWA as the number of aid deliveries into Gaza was at its lowest point yet. In early October, Israel imposed a starvation blockade on northern Gaza as part of its efforts to carry out an ethnic cleansing campaign known as the “general’s plan.”
Israel can't allow anybody to interfere with their ethnic cleansing and genocide.
Israel does not attack anyone that doesn't attack them.
Gaza could have been a peaceful, prosperous territory. Israel left in 2006 and allowed billions of dollars of aid to enter Gaza. Instead of helping their people, Hamas and Iran chose violence and death. They still do (and so do you); why don't you demand that Hamas to surrender all weapons, support peace, and release all hostages? You prefer war. You got it.
“Israel does not attack anyone that doesn’t attack them”
Tell that to Ahmed Bouchikhi. Or Rachel Corrie. Or Mohammad Salhi. Or Shireen Abu Akleh. Or Ghufran Harun Warasneh.
Oh, wait, you can’t tell them that. They were murdered by IDF (except for Bouchikhi, a waiter in Norway who was murdered by Mossad).
Would you like some more names? There are plenty.
I can't believe that guy is for real.
Why don’t the Israelis surrender all their arms, support peace, and release all hostages?
Zionist speaks with forked tongue.
Israel has made peace overtures; for example, they left Gaza in 2006. Hamas staged a violent coup and has been stealing from their people so they can wage war.
So, your equivalence lacks logic.
Further, Israelis seek to survive. If they stopped defending themselves, they would all be murdered. They have made peace with those who want peace, such as Jordan and Egypt. Israel doesn't have hostages; they have people who have been convicted of murder and other crimes. If you are comparing the arrest of convicted murderers by Israel to Hamas kidnapping old women, toddlers, and babies, then you are in no position to advise anyone.
“Israel has made peace overtures; for example, they left Gaza in 2006.”
Israel turned Gaza into an open air prison. Some peace overture!
“Israelis seek to survive.”
Israel seeks to survive by committing ethnic cleansing and genocide against Palestinians. And you righteously insist that the victims of this treatment disarm, and submit to whatever the Israelis decide.
“Israel doesn’t have hostages; they have people who have been convicted of murder and other crimes.”
Many of Israel’s hostages have not even been charged with any crime, let alone convicted. Yet you insist on portraying them all as criminals.
Is that guy for real? He tops everything I heard from others like him, he beats all of them. What happened to Julio?
Unbelievable… believe it.
The US needs to impose some serious consequences, with regard to the entirety of the situation. Israel is in gross violations of many things… Human rights, first and foremost!
Yes, start with cutting off the supply of murder instruments the USG keeps sending them.
Israel is a US alley. In fact, by law, Israel is a "major non-NATO ally". Countries support their allies or they have none, which isn't a good idea in this violent world.
Israel is in a war with Hamas, a terrorist group that illegally occupies Gaza (no, it was not elected; it was elected to the PA government but that election was never finalized and then Hamas grabbed Gaza in a violent, illegal coup).
Israel is also in a war with Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthis in Yemen, and Iran.
Why would the US cut off military aid to an ally? Explain your logic.
April 9, 1948: The Deir Yassin massacre was the beginning of the systematic extermination of the Palestine's people, and continues today.
Bad things happen in wars; but who decided to settle the issue by violence? It was the Arab side. The Israelis agreed to the partition plan.
And why should Americans support the Palestinians? They supported all of America's enemies: the Nazis in WWII; the Soviet Union in the Cold War; Saddam Hussein in the Gulf War; and they cheered in 9/11 when Bin Laden attacked New York City and Washington, killing 3,000 people. And Palestinian Sirhan Sirhan murdered leading presidential candidate Bobby Kennedy.
“The Palestinians” did none of the things you claim.
Some Palestinians did.
If I named a bunch of bad things that some Jews did or supported and attributed those bad things to “the Jews,” what label, I wonder, would you place on my claims?
I accept that change.
There has clearly been two major views of Zionism and Jewish immigration in what was Mandatory Palestine. Some of the local population supported the influx of Western and skilled people after the British took over Mandatory Palestine, because of the benefits to the area and the economy; others opposed them.
Some Palestinians, such as the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem (al-Husseini) organized confrontations with Jews, starting in the 1920s, to protest the Balfour Declaration in England. al-Husseini would later support Hitler in WWII and recruit for the SS.
al-Husseini also was a mentor to PLO head Yasser Arafat, who was supported by some Palestinians.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amin_al-Husseini
American soldiers commit crimes too, rape and killing is common, that is not the same as officially approved war crimes.
What business do the Americans have on other continents, the other side of the world, the Arabs did not invade the USA, the USA CAME ALL THE WAY thousands of miles away to fight the Arabs on three continents in the ME, or the Russians or Chinese or the Japanese even the Germans, and you cry for the poor Americans, why are all of them America's enemies in the first place? Why did the Anglo-Saxons invade the Americas and killed all the American Indians?
Well, they came to rob the land of the Indians because Jesus Christ told them it was their land.
The United States developed and supports a world economy after winning WWII. If you are an American, then this benefits you. If not, then it depends on which country you live in.
As for Europeans in North America, it is so superficial it is difficult to respond. For example, the Spanish empire spread through much of North America, as did Mexico. As for the Native Americans, they often fought with each other, and since the Navajo took land from the Hopi, does that make the Navajo the "real" owners of the land?
Yes the USA is profiting from wars other die for, on their soil, they are robbers and always do it to bring freedom and democracy to them. Biden destroyed the German economy on purpose when he blew up the pipeline and with it the EU, it is one competitor less, after Japan, and China is scheduled to be wiped out, if they can’t compete they destroy. MAFIA type business. This is the third time the Anglo-Saxons destroyed the German economy. They don’t train their own scientists they hire them in other countries. After WW II the American war booty included some 500 000 patents, mostly international German patents and scientists. We now have India educate the doctors for us. They, by that I mean the ruling elite, not us, the people.
Yes, wars are usually for profit. That's how the world works.
I haven't seen any evidence that the US bombed the Russian pipeline; Biden isn't really a blow-things-up kind of guy. Can you show your sources? I doubt it.
Yes, the US stole German patents after WWII – that's what happens when you lose a war – and German scientists helped with missiles and rockets, but the number of US patents picked up quickly afterwards. US medical schools are still filled with Americans, but if we can get India (and other countries) to pay for their education, we can get give them better salaries in the US.
As for the ruling elite, without them, life would be like living in Haiti. You can move there, if you prefer.
Well Sy Hersh, a very reliable journalist has the most rational explanation, the government has never denied it and has never demanded a real investigation and Biden told the whole world that there would be no LG and the German government did not demand an investigation, Scholz said they know who did it but can’t tell, then there are the more than absurd made up stories who supposedly did it. I believe that Scholz was informed by Biden before it happened, unless they prove me wrong I will dye believing that Scholz is a traitor, and his coalition is in it too. They sold the nation and the EU economy . The Norwegian NATO pilots used remote controls to blow up the pipeline, there is plausible reason . We are governed by criminal elements, by psychopaths in most of the NATO MEMBERS nations. They are people without integrity or decency, killers without a conscience. Germany had outstanding leadership but now they destroyed the old parties like the CDU and SPD, THEY HAVE TO BE LUCKY TO GET ENOUGH VOTES TO GET SEATS IN PARLIAMENT. I do believe that the CIA was involved in the elections on the continent, you don’t get so much criminal insanity in so many places of power as in Europe and the USA at the same time, that has to be organized.
The CIA is in every embassy and they are experienced regime changers, they know how to instigate and organize demonstrations against governments.
1. Calling the 87-year-old Hersh "reliable" is a stretch, and the pipeline story – on substack (basically, self-publishing) has very little in the way of proof to back it, other than anonymous sources. When others showed his "evidence" was flawed, he said the CIA changed it.
Yes, the CIA is involved in spy stuff. That's their job.
I don't know your sources, but I know the Hersh journalistic quality reporting going back to Vietnam and My Lai massacre. Other people who are familiar with his reporting and I know he is a sterling journalist, you can take his work to the bank.
You lack knowledge, that may be hard to believe for you. You need some time to mature before you get so self assured believing only you know the truth and only your opinion can be right.
Hersh has always been good at getting hidden stories.
But the problem with anonymously sourced stories — by Hersh or anyone else — is that the credibility of the sources can’t be evaluated by the reader. That credibility usually can’t be established until much later. Which means that the reader is operating on faith/trust, not knowledge. Hersh is one of the more reliable ones, but we won’t know whether he got the story right for some time, if ever.
I agree, but Hersh trusts his sources and so far he never failed, he reports with plausibility. He reported the facts as he knows them and he never failed. Also, to err is human. If he failed it was an honest error.
What really supports him is the fact that the people in the government made no effort to investigate on an honest level, not in the USA nor in the continental government and NATO. Obviously they are hiding something and all the efforts to explain were not plausible, they were sloppy lies, one paragraph one day flies in the MSM followed by silence. If anything that very silence supports Seymore Hersh.
Thomas, you are right, but Hersh has been reliable, he knew whom he could trust, and he in turn kept his word to them to protect their anonymity. That two way trust and ethics is the the basis of his success in my opinion.
I like to add, the biggest confirmation of the Hersh report is the fact that the governments have not questioned anything in the report, they have nothing to show to prove him wrong, and they claim to have investigated, and they are known to be liars and are deceptive and can't be trusted.
They get on stage and lie in all our faces knowing the truth is out there to be seen and is well known.
They are the people who tell us, there is no evidence of genocide in Gaza. That lie alone tells it all.
It’s possible that Hersh may be correct.
But every factual claim in the entire story relies on confirmation from one unnamed anonymous source whom Hersh described to TASS as “a person, who, it seems, knows a lot about what’s going on.”
Based on his previous work, I would not expect him to have just made shit up. On the other hand, relying on one and only one anonymous source makes a journalist vulnerable to getting played.
It is up to our government to investigate and inform us, they refuse to do that. Why? The only logical reason is that they have a lot to hide. It is one of the biggest political blunders in human history with immense and not yet known consequences.
Economists in Germany have said that it could take a century for Germany to recover economically to the level of 2004.
Historians say it took Germany some 200 years after the 30 year war in 1648 to 1850 or so to recover to the Bismarck Reich and catch up with the other European nations. To destroy Germany again was the purpose of WW I. The dying empire of the UK needed that war because Germany had become a powerful industrial competitor as had the US.
Any journalist can make mistakes or be compromised – given the high stakes – so Hersh's work in Vietnam is no indication of his current reliability.
A review of the complex issues on Hersh's claims are here:
https://brian-whit.medium.com/attack-on-nord-stream-updates-48e51316b6cc
I know all about the updates, as fake as all the hoaxes before and after.
” You have to consider the geopolitical context of any report; no one works in a vacuum”. Your advise, follow your own advise.
If you claim there are mistakes, prove it, that is all you need to prove his report wrong.
Your flimsy opinion is dwarfed by the decades of the professional credibility of the giant journalist Seymour Hersh.
First of all, the past is no proof of the present, especially in an 87-year-old man. Second, holes in his story have been reported. Third, logic doesn't necessarily support his story, as it would surely be clear to our friends in Europe that we did it, which would alienate them. It seems that logically this would only benefit Russia.
As to journalists – during the Cold War, I worked for a publisher that sent money to Soviet dissidents under the guise of publishing their books – which never made any money. This is how we tried to undermine them.
So, given that all of Hersh's articles paint the US in a bad light, it is not inconceivable that he gets his information from US foes and is even rewarded for this. We can't be naive about how the world works.
Here is a source, which points to the weakness in Hersh's self-published article. https://www.geopoliticalmonitor.com/seymour-hershs-nord-stream-theory-fact-or-fiction/
In terms of "who benefits", it seems the US would gain nothing, but Russia would, blowing up an unused pipeline, then providing information to Hersh, as they may have in Vietnam. Hersh's reports from Vietnam may appear to be "brave journalism", but they also may have been work-for-hire to sway public opinion against the war – a crucial goal of the Soviets – as they served Russian/Chinese goals in the conflict. You have to consider the geopolitical context of any report; no one works in a vacuum.
I know nothing about the author, and the magazine makes clear it is his report alone. I know the journalistic quality and effort Seymour Hersh brings to the table, he is credible and plausible and the government has not denied or disproved a single word of Mr. Hersh’s report. He is a very credible journalist and the report is reliably researched and is plausible, or he would not have published it. In short it is the best there is about the sabotage via the pipeline of the German and European economy. Ret. government official from the CIA and economic officials who know how it works accept his report credible, the best there is. All attempts to denigrate it have failed. Until there is more and credible information I believe the Hersh report. He is a man with decades of experience and spotless reporting. He does not lie, he says when he does not know, I trust him.
If Rene Tebel has any evidence that Mr. Hersh is wrong, he needs to back it up, as it is he claims and makes allegations, nothing based on facts to prove Mr. Hersh wrong. Mr. Hersh says he does not have all the facts, he only published what he does have.
You have your opinion and I have mine. I don’t care about your opinion at all.
In case you don't know, it was the Americans that produced the disaster in Haiti. the people had elected Aristides but the USA did not like him, so they took him out of the country and rudderless Haiti never got back on its feet, it is another scorched earth result of the American know all politics. Enough to make you p*u*k*e.
Our ruling elite is scum, people without decency.
Do you have a moral compass, do you know anything about business ethics, human rights?
Yes.
Polish born Avraham Stern claimed he saw the enemy of the Jews and it was not Adolf Hitler. great Britain was the real oppressor, Stern asserted.
That is absurd and total nonsense.
Hitler was an insane dictator who demanded his nation follow a race-based system as described in "Mein Kampf". A central thesis of his book is the menace posed by Jews. The Nazis exterminated millions of Jews in conquered nations.
As for the British, they allowed Jewish immigration into British Mandatory Palestine, which had been blocked by the Ottoman empire and previous Muslim rulers. They also published the Balfour Declaration, supporting the Zionist goal of a Jewish homeland.
Avraham Stern was a militant Zionist who clashed with the British authorities in British-controlled Mandatory Palestine; the British killed him in 1942 before the full extent of Nazi crimes were known.
Like a lot of revolutionaries, he only speaks for himself.
Wow, that’s some “systematic extermination” — the Palestinian Arab population is only about three times what it was then (not counting the diaspora).

WHY THE WEST SUPPORTS THE ZIONIST ISRAELI OCCUPIER'S 'END GAME' FOR GAZA, and the COMPLETE GENOCIDE OFTHE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE:
THE THEFT OF GAZA'S OFFSHORE GAS RESERVES.
In 1999, British Gas (BG) discovered the existence of natural gas in the Gaza Marine fields, 20 nautical miles off the coast of Gaza, at a depth of 610 meters below the surface.
Further exploration by (BG) through two successful wells – Gaza Marine 1 and Gaza Marine 2 – determined the field could contain up to 1 trillion cubic feet of natural gas.
Estimated net value of the Gaza Marine natural gas…
$500 BILLION.
TWO MONTHS BEFORE OCTOBER 7, the U.S. Pentagon began building a $35.8 million troop facility in Israel's Negev desert, 20 miles from Gaza, allegedly as a radar site to monitor for missile attacks on Israel.
The base is part of a "secret" U.S. military presence in Israel.
On October 29, 2023, soon after declaring war against Hamas, Israel approved the development of the gas reserves off the coast of the Gaza Strip, by awarding 12 licenses for exploring offshore natural gas fields to six companies….BRITISH PETROLEUM, ENI, SOCAR, DANA PETROLEUM, RATIO ENERGIES, and ISRAEL's NewMed ENERGY.
Clearly, Israel wants to be the sole net exporter of Gaza's natural gas and oil reserves.
SO THIS GENOCIDE IN GAZA, AGAINST THE TRUE INHABITANTS OF PALESTINE, HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH 'RELIGION' OR 'SELF DEFENSE' OR ‘BIBLICAL’ PROPHECY…ITS ALL FOR SEIZING THE ESTIMATED $500 BILLION WORTH OF OIL AND GAS DEPOSITS, 20 MILES OFF THE GAZA COAST, AND THE PLANNED CONSTRUCTION OF THE ‘BEN GURION’ CANAL.
I see…so, it's all a giant conspiracy! And the US military – which recognizes Israel as a "major non-NATO ally" – mysteriously did some work on a troop facility (according to you – no source provided) for the outrageous cost of $35 MILLION DOLLARS!
And then something about oil leases, and the "true inhabitants of Palestine" (whatever that means…)
You know that Hamas illegally occupies Gaza, right? They are not a legal government and took Gaza in a violent coup; yet, somehow they are the "true inhabitants".
Also, you know that the major city in the area – Jerusalem – has had a Jewish majority since the 1860s…but I guess, the majority in the major city in the area weren't "true inhabitants".
Also, you realize there was never a country called Palestine, and many so-called "Palestinians" weren't born in Mandatory Palestine, such as your hero Yasser Arafat, who was born in Cairo to an Egyptian family…but somehow, he is a "true inhabitant" of "Palestine" (a country that never existed).
As to the gas field, it is fairly small and Israel was allowing its development until Hamas attacked Israel, a foolish move because the energy field would have created income for both the West Bank and Gaza.
Hamas had a chance for peace and prosperity, but the blew it.
You must reside on another planet and you spend your time reading fairy tales, or maybe it is some holy bible or whatever you may call it.
The Israelis and the Americans want something that does not belong to them, land and resources, and the real owners are not willing to give it to them. That is what wars are about not about hijabs and the Talmud or Bible or Quran. Anti-Semitism is BS.
Actually, I am well-versed on the facts, which is why I can cite them and sources; you have none in your simplistic analysis.
First, who does the land "belong to"? Various groups have been fighting over the area that is now Israel since the Bronze Age, and Palestinians are not the "real owners". When the Romans attacked the Jewish kingdom in 70 AD and took over, did that make Palestinians the "real owners"? Or the Muslim (not Palestinian) conquest of 635 AD? Or when the Crusaders re-conquered the land? Or the Ottoman conquest of 1519? (The Ottoman aren't even Arabs; they are Turks). Also, when various Muslim empires took over the area, they excluded Jews from moving there or owning land. Does that make the people there somehow more legitimate, when you block one group?
And Jerusalem – the main city in the area – has had a Jewish majority since the 1860s; yet, you would say someone like Yasser Arafat – the head of the PLO – is a "real owner", despite the fact that he was born in Cairo, Egypt to an Egyptian family – yet Jewish families in Jerusalem for over a century were somehow alien to the area? That is clearly absurd.
And when the UN proposed a peaceful plan to divide the land based on population – which was 1/3 Jewish in 1947 – the Arab nations decided to settle the issue by war; yet, you seem to complain that the issue was settled with the method proposed and backed by many Arabs and Palestinians?
So, your real complaint is not that things are settled by war; it's only a problem when certain groups win. Noted.
The US will cut off aid to Israel when it suits their interests.
Demented Biden and his cabinet idiot members blew up the German NS2 LG pipeline, destroying the German and with it the EU economies, that includes almost all NATO members. NATO and EU allies are facing the US made implosion of the Economies and the military alliance. Now was that common sense politics or the action of mad men? With an ally like the USA who needs enemies? Trump is likely to continue the mad dog policies as long as the neocons are in charge and they will be in charge along with the Israeli Zionists.
Maybe you can explain that logic. Let me tell you, MEGALOMANIA is the driving force. Mad dog people are ruling the dying hegemon, the US empire. Israel may not exist long enough to celebrate the birthday of their first century, older nations like Iran will see to that.
The USA has no allies, they extorted, sanctioned and destroyed nations that did not obey them, destabilizing them and do regime changes that suits them. That is economic competitors like China, Japan, Germany, EU, and Russia.
I am so outraged I can't be as civilized and diplomatic like you, so best for me to say nothing. Just some words, the Israeli and US leadership elite is really s*c*u*m*.
That is why I don't vote today and maybe never again.
This morning, I made that decision also. I actually burned my voter registration card. I can no longer participate.
By not voting, you allows others to chose the Presidents and your representatives for you.
Of fuck you. I don't need any advice from a fucking idiot that endorses genocide. By the way, the word you were looking for was "choose" you moron.
There is nothing to choose from, the donor class chooses for us, they tell us who is best for us and whom we should vote for. The left and right wing donor class decided for us. For decades the Democrats and Republicans changed the presidents like a tag team, like the Bushes with Clinton and now we have Trump and Biden and Trump again. And we have decades of ZERO domestic policies. The abortion issue is a nice issue to bounce around come elections, and name calling, make for great campaigns don't you think so?
I am a senior citizen and remember Vietnam well. It destroyed LBJ, JFK had the potential to become a great president, but they killed him, and President Carter was too good a man to be reelected and the last 5 are the worst in my life time.
But you will enjoy the safety, affluence, and protection that the US offers, despite not supporting the international network that makes this possible.
Safety and protection? The largest arms dealers and military want war, not peace. And war is not safety and protection.
What do you talk about, have you not noticed how the working middle class is shrinking and poverty and homelessness has increased?
Don't you notice how rundown our cities are, how underfunded our schools are? Federal capital gains taxes have been substantially reduced causing wealth redistribution from the bottom to the top with the help of decades of stagnating wages. Decades of really ZERO domestic programs, SNAP is first line to be cut, the needs of American people are ignored while the corporate donor class is being pampered with tax cuts and deregulations in order to increase profits and turn millionaires into billionaires. Middle class families may have to file for bankruptcy because of medical expenses the private industry does not cover.
We are funding wars with working class families' taxes, we need local food centers asking for charities, to fund the soup kitchens, and people sleep on sidewalks. Is that your American dream?
Facebook and Instagram are PRO-APARTHEID NAZISRAEL and ANTI-GAZA/PALESTINE. They block comments, like the following:
WHY THE WEST SUPPORTS ISRAEL, UNCONDITIONALLY.
WESTERN GOVERNMENTS SUPPORT THE APARTHEID STATE OF ZIONIST ISRAEL, BECAUSE OF THE 'BEN GURION CANAL' PROJECT, WHICH IS ISRAEL'S INITIATIVE TO CONSTRUCT A NEW CANAL, AIMED AT BOOSTING THEIR ECONOMY.
IT IS EXPECTED TO GENERATE AN APPROXIMATE ANNUAL REVENUE OF $6 BILLION.
THE CANAL OFFERS WESTERN GOVERNMENTS A SUPERIOR ALTERNATIVE TO THE SUEZ CANAL, WHICH WILL SOLIDIFY THEIR CONTROL OVER THE WORLD'S MOST CRUCIAL SHIPPING ROUTE.
TO CONSTRUCT THE CANAL, ISRAEL MUST REROUTE IT, TO AVOID GAZA, PREVENTING POTENTIAL ECONOMIC GROWTH IN THE PALESTINIAN TERRITORY.
THE GAZA STRIP IS SEEN AS PROBLEMATIC FOR THE CANAL PROJECT.
SO, ISRAEL WANTS TO TAKE OVER GAZA IN THE NAME OF 'SELF-DEFENSE', AND USE THE LAND FOR THE CANAL PROJECT.
AND THE CHEAPEST WAY TO BUILD THIS CANAL WOULD HAVE BEEN BY USING JUST ONE NUCLEAR EXPLOSIVE.
BUT ISRAEL KNEW THAT IF THEY WOULD HAVE USED A NUCLEAR BOMB ON GAZA, THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN IMMEDIATELY CONDEMNED BY THE ENTIRE WORLD.
SO ISRAEL, SLOWLY AND METHODICALLY, ACHIEVED IN SIX (6) MONTHS OF DAILY CONVENTIONAL BOMBING, THE SAME DEVASTATING AND DESTRUCTIVE RESULTS OF JUST ONE DAY OF USE WITH A NUCLEAR BOMB.
THE PLANNED 'BEN GURION' CANAL WOULD BRING $$$$ BILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO ISRAEL AND ITS SUPPORTERS IN THE WEST.
BUT IT WILL COME AT THE COST OF MILLIONS OF INNOCENT PALESTINIAN LIVES.
HISTORICALLY, ARAB COUNTRIES USED THE SUEZ CANAL TO PRESSURE THE WEST.
BUT THE NEW CANAL WILL GIVE ISRAEL AND THE WEST MORE FLEXIBILITY IN MIDDLE EASTERN AFFAIRS, AND WILL ALLOW THEM TO DESTABILIZE THE MIDDLE EAST, AND EXPAND ZIONIST ISRAEL IMPERIALISM.
I wanted to thank you earlier for the great list of details.
Thank you very much for a job well done.
Bassem Youssef said a while ago that the world would forget the gen@cide of the Palestinians very quickly after it's finished. That received my nod in awe. But I truly doubt that he knew at the time that we would forget it while it is still happening right now, with all its devastating, disgusting, gruesome, and inhumane details!!!
Israel was formed in 1948.
PLO was formed in 1964.
Israel occupied and ennexed Gaza and West bank 1967.
Hamas formed in 1987.
Israel invaded Lebanon in 1978.
Hezbollah was formed in 1982.
ISRAEL IS THE PROBLEM.
Israel commiting genocide and war crimes against the Palestinians didn't start in
2023. History didn't start on the 7th October 2023.
There was violence everyday before that date, towards Palestinians.
Israel can't be defending themselves against the People whose land it occupies…how absurd!
But it’s all because of the following…
TWO MONTHS BEFORE OCTOBER 7, the U.S. Pentagon began building a $35.8 million troop facility in Israel's Negev desert, 20 miles from Gaza, allegedly as a radar site to monitor for missile attacks on Israel.
The base is part of a
"secret" U.S. military presence in Israel.
On October 29, 2023, soon after declaring war against Hamas, Israel approved the development of the gas reserves off the coast of the Gaza Strip, by awarding 12 licenses for exploring offshore natural gas fields to six companies….BRITISH PETROLEUM, ENI, SOCAR, DANA PETROLEUM, RATIO ENERGIES, and ISRAEL's NewMed ENERGY.
Clearly, Israel wants to be the sole net exporter of Gaza's natural gas and oil reserves.
STILL THINK THIS GENOCIDE IS ALL ABOUT 'RELIGION' AND 'SELF DEFENSE'?
Well, various people have a different perspective.
Take the Egyptians, for example. Many of the people in Gaza are from Egyptian families; Yasser Arafat, for example, had a father born in Gaza to an Egyptian mother.
Also, Egypt is at war with the Muslim Brotherhood, which Hamas is a part of. Egypt closed their border with Gaza after the Hamas coup that took over Gaza.
So, the people of Egypt are generally sympathetic to the people of Gaza, but not necessarily to Hamas, and may consider Hamas at least partially responsible for the consequences of their actions.
https://www.fdd.org/analysis/op_eds/2024/03/11/egyptian-activist-tells-post-she-condemns-hamas-and-october-7-massacre/
Given the choice between Western values and the strict views of the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas, many Egyptians prefer Western values. Others don't. So, this will influence their views of the conflict.
https://open.spotify.com/track/0gCJkpD0RhF2rjiALLHBQL
And the good Catholic ba*by ki*ller Biden has nothing to say, not a single word, all is ok , But maybe his press speaker will let us know they are really concerned.
The US warned Israel against implementing the legislation, acknowledging it would mean cutting off food supplies to starving women and children, but that hasn’t stopped Israel from moving ahead with the plan.
I used to defend myself when others accused me of being a hater of the US. Accuse away. I hate this fucking country.
If you hate this country, time to leave. There are plenty of places to go to. Try Russia, China, Iran or Gaza.
Why don't you leave? Americans should not stand for the deliberate starvation and murder of poor people.
No human being with a soul should stand for the sadistic killing of another human being, only dehumanized human animals like neocons and Zionists can do this.
I would leave but there isn't a place on earth that wouldn't have shit stains like yourself so what would be the point?
Terrible
Sooner or later Israel will be invited by a UN Assembly vote to leave the UN. There is no reason to keep this illegitimate state whose taste for injustice and mass murder including UN personal be allowed to partake.
The US will scream, threaten and whine, but it is not up to the US especially since they are an avid participant in Israeli crimes. There is not any proof in UNRWA having a hand in October 7th..no evidence by Israel. Hopefully this additional cowardly act will get them booted out.
Kicking Israel out of the UN will accomplish what?
Tim, it will send a vital message that undermining, destroying, and killing UN workers/ property will not be tolerated along with the intolerable genocide that Israel perpetuates with no end in sight.
The US must be kicked out first, the US misused and destroyed all credibility of the UN making the crimes against humanity possible.
But the rapporteurs are still doing their jobs and are trustworthy sources, to hell with the American and Israeli Fascists.
With deep respect many thanks to all the honorable dedicated UN rapporteurs, people like Francesca Albanese.
The UN needs a real reform as soon as possible because the world does need the UN.
More important is it to kick the USA out, they misused and abuse the purpose of the UN. The UN is strictly a humanistic international institution, it is not perfect, but the USA and Israel denigrated it, using it to block criminal accountability of genocide and war crimes of one permanent member, the USA, protecting Israel a member and blocking full membership of the Palestinian people, the victims of Israeli/USA cruelty and abuse by using veto power to protect their brutal massacre of the Palestinians.
International attention, Israel's criminal behavior should not be swept under the carpet. The impunity of Israeli crimes must end.
Removal of an illegitimate and anti-UN state. It will further isolate and push it to reform and join humanity , or be thrown into the dustbin of history.
