I have to repeat what you wrote:

Now the whole world knows and can see what Trump wanted everyone to know and see. i.e. The bloodthirsty “Israelis” are completely, utterly insane. Trump gave them enough rope to hang themselves and they almost killed each other in the scramble to be first to shove their heads in the noose.

He just handed them Jerusalem and compared himself to Truman in how momentous an act on behalf of Zionism’s advancement this is! There is no ulterior interpretation possible. And no not every opinion is valid. You rightly singled out A P’s comment regarding Hillary as being nonsense. So forgive me, but this comment was just too outrageously false to let it slide.

IMO, those who believe DT’s election was totally planed are right on target. As the saying goes ” elect a clown, expect a circus”. But this “circus” is great cover for pillaging the wealth of the nation, and pushing it up the pyramid to the top 1%. It’s a global plan, and it’s working.

Jackrabbit. That video is NOT about some “International Jewish Conspiracy.” It does show Trump’s record of becoming ever more beholden to the supra-national banksters. And all evidence comes from MSM articles/reports. I think it important in that it explains how/why the Trump Administration is carrying out not just some of the foreign but also domestic policies it does.
pessimist. When I looked into her, I found she’d done a short segment on RT once before. RT has an Israel-based, Jewish journalist (Paula Slier) and a full time Israel crew, so they should have no problem getting video. As you wrote, we’ll see.
Ian @93, I fully believed that quote for quite some time (at least in terms of national elections). But I have to ask why, if that’s true, do TPTSB go to such extremes to suppress and alter the vote? Why do they scrub voting rolls? Why do they restrict voting locations (closing them, not providing sufficient numbers of poll stations, opening late and closing early, etc)? Why do they use those computer voting machines and electronic tabulating machines to “count” paper ballots (both of which are well known to be very easy to rig)?
And I now see the narrative that “your vote doesn’t matter” as the most successful voter suppression tactic of all. Nearly half of eligible voters aren’t even registered, and only about half of them bother to vote.
Circe @97. I apologize for quoting jackrabbit’s comment misquoting you. I’d already posted that I mostly agreed with your posts on this topic, and I just don’t have the memory to keep track of who said what.

Daniel
The video is not about an international conspiracy but it comes close. As I noted, there may well be such a conspiracy. Trump’s family and business connections make for interesting reading.
Emails that Hillary released include correspondence with the Rothschilds. Why is that not mentioned? Wikileaks has them.
Presidents are a lightening rod for criticism and many of Trump’s fans will have an emotional, knee-jerk reaction to harsh criticism that is leveled at him. It seems to me that it would be more effective to show that the election was a farce. We’ve all been had.

Top Israeli MP: Army Has Enough Bullets for Everyone in Gaza
Strategic Affairs Minister calls Gazans ‘Nazis,’ says deaths don’t mean anything
…..Strategic Affairs Minister Gilad Erdan repeatedly referred to the protesters killed in Gaza as “Nazis,” saying that there were no demonstrations, just “Nazi anger.” He later added that the number killed doesn’t mean anything because they’re just Nazis anyhow.
Likud MP Avi Dichter, the chair of the defense committee, went on to dismiss concerns in an interview of his own. Dichter insisted that protests in Gaza pose no danger, because “the IDF has enough bullets for anyone,” and open-fire regulations to shoot people allowing the military to deal with it….

Interesting news that the Palestinians have decided to refer the issue of Israeli settlements in the West Bank to the International Criminal Court for prosecution as a war crime.
I know that the PLO has previously threatened to refer Israel to the ICC, but usually the threats have to do with allegations of unlawful killings during one of the IDF’s many, many instances of “mowing the lawn”. And, of course, in every instance the Palestinians have stepped away under US pressure.
But they really should persevere in this case, not just because the illegality of Israeli settlements is such an open-and-shut case, but also because once the court does rule that this is a war crime (and, again, no int’l court could possibly find otherwise) then the guilty persons are…. well…. every single Israeli gov’t minister from June 1967 to the present day.
Each and every one of them are complicit in this crime. From top to bottom, from mewling left to far, far right.
All of ’em, because if they were a gov’t minister then they voted to support the committing of this ongoing war crime.
I think the PLO should see this through. Lodge the complaint, and neither back down nor allow the Prosecutor to wriggle off the hook.
Coz’ the Israeli leadership past and present are damn well guilty of a war crime. Each. And. Every. One. Of. Them.

That is the (European descent) Israeli stupid propaganda that Palestinians can be compared to Red Indians and Israel is a “settler” country like the US.
You must have built walls around you and be blind to what is going on to believe that. Or you live in the US countryside and don’t notice much of the world anyway.
Palestinians sometimes called Arab Israeli are some 50 percent of “Greater Israel” and people with the same language and culture inhabit all the countries surrounding the “settler state”. These people some Israelis pretend to colonize invented script, law, algebra, they also knew that the world was not flat. They also know how to remember history.
To try to impose a European “settler” narrative in an environment like this is an exercise in futility.
Israel has become a pet project of US billionaires and evangelicals.
Part of the new Gaza tragedy is not covered: Trump cut the funding for Gaza
Palestinians trying to storm the border are acting in desperation.
Trump will offer the Palestinians some type of deal after this. Same strategy he attempts with Iran.

Probably in Hebrew. You can count on English speaking media in countries with their own languages to be government propaganda of some sort.
That does not mean they cannot be revealing to read, it is always interesting to read what propaganda thinks it is supposed to do. It is very likely far from any truth though.
Israel at this stage has short term tactics but no long term strategy.
This here is Newsweeks assessment:

srael celebrates its 70th birthday in May with the opening of the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem. Yet the country is grappling with an existential crisis—one that doesn’t involve Iranian nukes or Palestinian protests. Spurred by the high cost of living, low salaries, and political and demographic trends, Israelis are leaving the country in droves, trying to build their lives elsewhere, mostly in the United States. Many of these young Israelis are moving to big cities, and yet, even in these often expensive places, they see more opportunities to advance.
The available data is telling, analysts say. Between 2006 and 2016, more than 87,000 Israelis became U.S. citizens or legalized permanent residents, according to the most recent data from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. That’s up from 66,000 between 1995 and 2005. These figures take into account only those who took the legal route (many Israelis, analysts say, arrive on temporary tourist, student or work visas, then stay). And in addition to the Israelis now living stateside, according to the country’s Ministry of Immigrant Absorption, hundreds of thousands have moved to Europe, Canada and elsewhere.
…
The country’s brain drain isn’t new. For years, many of its most talented scholars and researchers moved to the U.S., where the salaries are far higher and there are more jobs at top-tier universities. One report by Dan Ben-David, an economist at Tel Aviv University, found that the emigration rate of Israeli researchers was the highest in the Western world. Recently, however, the exodus has expanded to include average young people, many of whom say there’s simply no future in Israel.

Actually, somebody, what is happening to Israel is the same historical process as happened to the Crusaders. Initial enthusiasm, but a militarised frontier policy, and then people started drifting off. What didn’t happen to the crusaders, but is happening to Israelis, is that people (Westerners, I mean) want a peaceful life, not eternal war, and these days will wander off to look for it rather than staying to fight.

RE: Perimetr: Zanon | 122: zerohedge have dozens of articles on Gaza past 24 hours, not sure why you bring up them though, are they important in any way?
Zero Hedge did run an article on May 14, apologies, which was updated several times. But there has been no follow-up, no mention of the Turkish withdrawal of Ambassadors, nothing like what you find here at MoA, which, of course, is why so many people come here for analysis and informed discussion. What struck me early this morning was that ZH was running lead articles on emails and how much cash was being withheld from the markets, etc, etc, but nothing on Gaza. I had to go back several pages to find the article mentioned.
I find this important simply because it illustrates that even for an “alternative” news site (which receives a lot of traffic), there seems to be a paucity of reporting on this issue. I suppose I have become cynical to the point of suspecting practically every “news” source out there. “Trusted” sites tend to conform to the party line over time. Even better for the deep state is to create a site just compromised enough that psyop articles can be inserted or news can be subtly crafted to imperceptibly skew the consciousness of the reader in the desired direction. And again, omission is one of the most important tools of censorship.

This goes back to what I was saying when Trump first announced recognition of Jerusalem as capital of Israel. It isn’t victory, it’s a foolish move by Netanyahu for personal gain that will undermine the whole Zionist project. Prior to all this rancor Israel was quietly ethnically cleansing Jerusalem and the West Bank and orchestrating it’s influence upon Washington to manipulate the Middle East without a soul letting the word ‘Israel’ pass their lips when discussing US wars in the Middle East. Foreign diplomats could still stay quiet about this and the media may have covered the events but never went on campaign, nor did any social media campaign ever materialise.
Now the two state solution is officially dead and foreign diplomats can’t pretend anymore and the Israel lobby and out in the spotlight crudely attempting to shove the US into a shooting war with Iran.
Say what you will about neo-con infiltration of the Trump admin, I honestly think in the end turning the heat up instead of letting the frog boil slowly might bring about the political forces to shut all this down.
It’s all out in the open and nobody can’t pretend anymore.

@102 jsb… that is a good way to frame the palestine / israel conflict too – “sling shots VS an Air Force, Navy, Army (of worthless coward terrorists), tank and mortar shelling…
and it’s such a shame as @113 john gilberts highlights – canada’s complicity in the lopsidedness of this palestine/israel conflict framing it the way most western politicians do and @124 dan notes… israel is reliving the horrid past and hoping to get a pass on it from the west.. while the politicians might give them a pass – the ordinary citizens aren’t… anyone following this can see the dramatic differences and knows who is doing the murdering here – israel..
@108 / 111 jr.. thanks for taking a look at that video dan posted much earlier in the thread..i agree we are the problem, but how do we change that? it would seem to me that connecting the dots with rothchilds involvement in trumps political place here, not to mention what you say on hillary @111 all point to how money is calling the shots politically, and how the money seems to have an israeli or jewish heritage to it.. i am sorry jackrabbit, but it is hard not to see how israel has been manipulating western societies to continue to support it’s genocidal agenda towards any alternative views here.. i think i have asked you this before – a few years ago – are you jewish? is there something in your nature where you want to overlook the connections here? you have my curiousity!!
i will say this – if it wasn’t trump and family applauding the palestinian massacre, it would be hillary.. of that, i don’t think there is any doubt.. this brings me back to the question of why western politicians – no matter what stripe – all fall in line of servitude to israel? it defies logic here.. my guess is money and getting the financial support to be elected, or re-elected plays a big part in this…

Christian Chuba @128. I didn’t post those stories meaning to rebut yours. I meant to add that the only times the tunnels have been used for military purposes were strictly defensive. In fact, most of them are entirely inside of Gaza, and don’t even approach the border. Hence, I’m reinforcing your point that labeling them “Terror Tunnels” is duplicitous propaganda.
I do read Israeli newspapers sporadically. They are often much more direct when speaking to their mostly Israeli and/or Jewish audience than the filtered hasbara we get in Western MSM. Yes, Haaratz is their main “liberal” newspaper, so presents a slightly different perspective. Gideon Levy is perhaps their most well reasoned/reasonable writer.
Yes, Israeli military and police passing as Palestinian/Arab peoples is a long tradition. They’re officially called the “mustarabeen.” At least since the bombing of the King David Hotel in 1946, Jewish Zionists have used this truly “false flag” method.

Feinstein’s hubby is responsible for the University of California system adopting the Zionist language on “hate speech” that has made promoting BDS or even hanging a Palestinian flag from a dorm window an offense worthy of expulsion and possible legal charges. When the Regents hesitated to adopt that shredding of the First Amendment on the very campus where the “Free Speech Movement” was born, he threatened to have his wife pass legislation cutting UC’s funding.

What makes a Zionist a Zionist? Total support for the Zionist State’s existence–but–that doesn’t imply total support for its government’s policies. To determine if any politico’s a Zionist and to what degree, one would need to review their voting record on all issues pertaining to the Zionist State, particularly the massive movement of taxpayer monies to support AIPAC’s bribery of same politicos.
So, yes, a Zionist could object to the policy of killing unarmed Palestinians. Unlike Haley, Trump and many others, a few actually have scruples.

More on the Russian-Saudi oil agreement – the view from Saudi Arabia.

Russia is pursuing a policy of geopolitical diversification and will try to stay engaged with all countries in the Middle-East and avoid taking sides. According to Weafer, Moscow sees itself as something of an honest broker in the Middle-East, i.e. a role which means it has access to all governments and thus can act as a go-between and peace-maker.
“It means that while Putin can travel to Riyadh and Tehran he can try to resolve differences, bring both sides a little closer and, importantly, try to negotiate a reduction in military tensions. This is why, in recent years, Putin has engaged with all leaders in the Middle East and North Africa, almost without exception,” he concluded.
Finally, Kumar believes that geopolitics in the Middle East and implementation of the proposed Saudi-Russia partnership in the energy sector, especially in areas such as LNG, will also impact prospects for the two countries working together in managing the oil market in the longer term.

WapPo’s Dana Milbank: The Trump Administration’s Orwellian Israel Messaging

“Moving the U.S. embassy,” Deputy Secretary of State John Sullivan declared, is “a step toward advancing peace.”
President Trump himself, in a video message, pledged his commitment to a “lasting peace agreement.”
His son-in-law, Jared Kushner, said “peace is within reach.”
And Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared it “a great day for peace.”
Because nothing says “peace” like 58 Palestinians killed, 2,700 wounded, renewed hostilities between Iran and Israel, the entire region aflame and U.S. allies reeling.

Great thread by Ollie Richardson on Russia/Syria/Israel/Ukraine (it’s pinned right now) Follow the side threads to get the full picture.
https://twitter.com/O_Rich_
Some intriguing quotes:
1. Always remember that the US/Israel was deterred by a SAA S-200 launch. This means that the US can be tamed in Syria using old 1967 technology. It’s missiles (on a F-18) couldn’t even down a SAA Su-22 from 1970. Obviously Operation Paperclip has expired.
2.As someone on Facebook correctly said in response to what Kosachev said – “if diplomacy was so easy, everybody would be doing it”. And here is the thing – not everybody is doing it. Not everybody is willing to be responsible for the future of millions of people.
3. Yes, it sounds crazy, right? How can Russia appease both Iran & Israel at the same time? Well that’s the reality, & that’s why Putin is such a remarkable politician & diplomat. If there is a choice between pushing for peace and pushing for more war, why pursue the latter?

Posted by: Daniel | May 16 2018 22:30 utc | 191

OY @190. Quite Right!
That caused a special hearing in Congress in which Senator “Bomb, Bomb, Bomb… Bomb, Bomb Iran” McCain drilled Joint Chiefs Chair, General Dunford because he didn’t like the good General saying that enacting Killary’s “no fly zone” would be a declaration of war against Syria and Russia. He then said that decision was above his pay grade or some such.
BTW: That’s one of the bits of evidence floating in the ether that makes me wonder if (s)electing Drumpf wasn’t the preferred choice of TPTSB from the start.
It helped make HRC look (to me at least) like the most dangerous Presidential Candidate of my lifetime, while The Donald Trump® came off as at least possibly less inclined to escalate the war against Syria and anxious to patch things up with Russia.

@196 inkan1969… why was it so potentially dangerous? because the palestinians are dealing with nazis that shoot or gas people for protesting at a border??
of course people could just stay at home and roll over for the rest of their lives… i admire the palestinians who persevere in spite of the atrocities modern day israel is committing to.. funny how israel has become what they were running away from… why is that?
