More of the same disgusting American policy of lip service and blocking resolutions.
Iran, Turkey, Syria, Hezbollah, Pakistan and Russia need to take this fight to “Israel’s’ doorstep and push them back to 67 amd maybe even 48 lines. That is the only way. Also, keep the rockets coming. These cowardly dual citizens will pack up, dust up their original passports and vacate. As long as the sirens are sounding, these ‘guests’ will not stick around to see the end.
Egypt and Jordan need to neutered. Way past that time.

Enablers
The US enables Israel.
Everyone knows that one does not enable one’s alcoholic relative.
Just because he says he wants and needs alcohol you know better than to enable.
How many zillion times have you heard someone say that they, “support Israel”.
Feeding someones worst nature clearly is not *supporting*, it is enabling.
Giving Israel weaponry and diplomatic “support” so that it
can be a thief, murderer and oppressor is enabling the Zionist’s worst nature.
Imagine how much better off Israel would be today
if the enablers had shut down the Zionist requests for conquest-enabling weaponry
and “support” in the UN Security Council decades ago.
Who knows, Israel might have fulfilled its promise by now and
become “a light unto the nations”. Now it is filth.
The pro-Israel, so-called Christians quote scripture.
(roughly) “Those that do not support the Jews will be cursed”.
Enabling is *not* supporting, it is in fact the opposite of supporting.
Thus the pro-Israel, so-called Christians are doing the opposite
of what they believe they are doing and are in fact
a curse to this country,
and I might add, a curse to Israel.

Thanks, mister “b”, for this in-spyering set of comments in your sitrap! They inspire many to-the-point comments.
But at “professio vulgata”: How the shit can the permanent state of conflict be interpreted?
My on solution to the conflict is inspire by a Norwegian right.wing populist party lady who has launched a campaignt called “Bring the Jews Home” (Bring judane heim), mostly obtaining support from Christian fundamentalists along the Southern and Western littorale of Norway. This would entail re-establishing the southern Kingdom of Judea in the SW counties of Agder & Rogaland, and that septitronalic Reich of Israel in Sunnmøre and soutwards. The intermediate county of Hordaland renamed and re-christiand “Samaria” and the former Hanseatic City Bergen becoming a Philistine or a Phoenician statlet — posessing parallell charakteristica as the Punic Carthago.
I feel similar solutions as follow-ups to Jewish exodus could be established in Hyde Park and in the City of London or all along Wall Street and Central Park on Manhattan — if not ultimately trans-colonizing good ole Birobidjan (on the China trade route!)
Deeply convinced am I that such a Jewish influx of real Germanians would after a few generations racially improve the impure Western Norwagians and and all sol folks in Harlem and Newark gangster tribes,

“Antisemitism” is the Swiss Army Knife of words.
It is adaptable and useful, it can be used opportunistically in so many diverse situations.
Most often it is used to intimidate and silence and used as a political instrument.

Replying to Svaya @5:
“Is it possible that as Elijah Magnier is saying resistance has 6 month of supplies in terms of rockets…”
This might give you a bit of an idea. I cannot vouch for the source, but this guy was saying they had 20,000 in 2014:

“Finally, I was sourced by Palestinian sources, documentaries, interviews, etc..
Latest estimation of the Rocket numbers in Gaza was from back 2014, were it was said that Al-Qassam & Al-Quds Brigades alone had around 20k.. I would imagine that the number might have doubled.”

The vicious librul@16 imagines that charges of anti-Semitism are meaningless. The crazed Mario@20 makes librul look even dumber. The very first comment is nonsense about Jews controlling the media and the US government. Continuity in all religions is largely imaginary, where each succeeding generation keeps re-writing history so they imagine their predecessors were like them. The cults always change when the cult leaders change, die, whatever. Given enough time, the best way to start a new brand of your religion is to pretend you’re restoring the original! See: All Protestant religions. Or if you only believe Protestants are the real deal, look at the career of Alexander Campbell, and sequelae Disciples of Christ, Christian Church etc.
PS Lonkal@13 has a typo, the Moon does orbit the Earth. But every claim the Earth orbits the Moon, that is, that Israel is the tail that wags the dog US, is spouting nonsense that happens to be an essential premise to anti-Semitism, including anti-Semitism that murders people en masse.

Those who argue that anti-Zionist is the same thing as antisemitism are doing Jews no favors at all. That Zionism is a vile, criminal enterprise is plain to see. To argue that Jewish identity and Zionism are inseparable is to tar the Jewish people with the crimes of Zionism. Anyone who would try to defend Zionism this way is the worst kind of antisemite because they are identifying all Jewish people with a murderous ideology.
The fools are not defending Zionism, rather they are condemning Jews.

Much as I enjoy your comments, I’m going to have to ask for some statistical justification for your claim that “many Jews that disagree with what Israel is doing.” Exactly what are they disagreeing with, and how much? Maybe I’ve been hanging around the wrong crowd, but the typical reaction I hear is along the lines of “We don’t like Bibi, but Israel’s right to exist blah blah / evil terrorist Palestinians blah blah / [etc. etc. etc.].” Ask them if they think Palestinians deserve a state, and they’ll say maybe — as long as Israel decides what lands they get, maintains control over resources and air space, and limits Palestinian firepower to that the PA now possesses.
In short, I’ve found that most of the time, when you scratch an anti-Zionist, you find a Zionist.

Sorry, 2/10. Can’t you do better than a drive-by smearing?
There’s a shared feeling among MoA visitors that governments in the Christian West are controlled by Billionaires – for the benefit of Billionaires. And they achieve this by bribing (renting, owning) politicians. There’s plenty of anecdotal evidence that Billionaires got richer during the Covid Pandemic whilst the pauper demographic got poorer. I’m not saying Billionaires are greedy assholes, but their ‘generous assistance’ to paupers isn’t setting records or dominating the Headlines.
I’ve just Googled >Number of Billionaires worldwide< and according to Google it's 3,288. Then I Googled >Number of Jewish Billionaires worldwide<. Google wasn't so forthcoming, numerically, on this variation although the search result included this little nugget: The Money Code: Become a Millionaire with the Ancient …
https://books.apple.com › audiobook › money-code-be…
Why are so many Jews millionaires? Jews are estimated to make up less than 1% of the world’s population, yet approximately 25% of the world’s billionaires are Jews.
Weird huh? Especially knowing that Billionaires are fond of owning politicians to pass and sanitise laws which favour Billionaires?
By the way, Jews are not Semites, so anti-semitism is actually about Jews Holocausting (inflicting Collective Punishment upon) Semitic Palestinians since the end of their favourite Holocaust.

for some odd reason I had never noticed that the US ambassador to the UN was black
which now further confirms for me that Caitlin was absolutely spot on (in Nov 2020), the biden-harris regime has one of the most diverse and inter-sectional (sic) administrations of mass murderers ever in US history.
I suppose we can all be grateful that Susan Rice didn’t make the final cut – one less (female) mass murderer in that Rules Based Regime, though her comadre Samantha Power made it in as the head of the cia-front US AID.
Avril Haines, once under consideration as head of the cia, got booted upstairs to head the DNI. We can be extra glad that she’s the first woman ever in that vital role in the Empire of Terrorism and Sanctions.
and that they are living up to expectations! as plainly visible for the whole world to see in the massacres in Gaza

Well you’ll be happy to know that the next US president and his crack team of ventriloquists are assembling a cabinet of mass murderers that’s as diverse, inclusive and intersectional as America herself.
It’s been obvious for a long time that Joe Biden’s cabinet would be packed with Obama holdovers, war pigs and whatever primary opponents he owes favors to, but now that he is the media-anointed winner of the presidential election we’re getting a bit more confirmation on who they’re expected to be…..
….Up for consideration as leader of America’s most sociopathic government agency is Obama’s former CIA Deputy Director Avril Haines, who protected all perpetrators implicated in a Senate report on CIA torture from suffering any consequences for their unspeakable brutality, and helped redact that same report….

corvo @May18 21:15 @47
Anit-Zionist Jews are very small in number. But there are many Jews that are highly critical of Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians. This is a matter of some concern to the Jewish state and Jewish Zionists who try relentlessly to convince all Jews to support Israel without question. They actually conduct frequent polls to understand Jewish opinion on the Israel:

Although 80% identified as pro-Israel, more than half of American Jews, some 57%, identified as “pro-Israel but also critical of Israeli policy.”
There was a split between those who are critical of “some” policies (28%) and those critical of “many” policies (29%).
Less than a quarter (23%) are “pro-Israel and supportive of the current Israeli government policies.”

Criticism of Israel by Jewish intellectuals is very powerful:
Why I am an anti-Zionist Jew
A worldwide coalition of Jewish groups has issued a joint statement condemning attempts to stifle criticism of Israel with false accusations of antisemitism.
Jews Against the Occupation
Ron Unz is Jewish and runs a popular blogging site that is very critical of Israel.

“jews lived in that area for centuries before the region was subjected to Western imperialism.”
Henry Cattan writes in ‘Palestine in International Law’
” For nineteen centuries the Jews had almost ceased to exist in Palestine. Benjamin of Tudela, a Jewish pilgrim who visited the Holy Land about AD 1170 to AD 1171 found only 1,440 Jews in all Palestine; and Nahman Gerondi in AD 1267, found only two Jewish families in Jerusalem.”

Great Reset. Current world powers are doing nothing but evil. Politcal powers as of now are committing evil rather than stopping it. They’ve had their chance and choose greed over morality. There can be no rationalizing in the future, choices have been made. May redemption come to those who’ve opened their mind and chose the right side. There’s been no greater test of pharisees vs. morality and the vast majority of the world’s population, and all those in charge are in for one hell of a future. Glenn Beck is a prime example, so knowledgeable, such a great communicator, so eloquent, but completely deluded by modern “christianity” and usa evangelism, that he is blind to his own judgement by the lord he believes he worships. It’s sad, but everyone has the same eyes. Evil will not prevail and regardless of one’s staunchest perceived holiness, righteousness is the remaining decent world’s populations only hope. I’m not some religious person I’ve only ate some shrooms but the great reset is going to be far more than the elite have planned.

The diversity of understanding this list suggest possibility that fact limited debate might be used to reduce misunderstanding between various factions, and at the same time to make hypothesis out of the claims which cannot be factually supported into a set of hypothesis <-which can be tested. Over the next few months it might be possible to establish the truth..Does Israel control the USA? Is Putin a Zionist? Are the Jews responsible for Israel? Who organized the deep state? Is there really a difference between Zionism and Jews? Can the hidden few be identified by name, rank and serial number? Is the nation state system a Zionist invention? can Humanity get out of the clutches of the few? I propose a start hypothesis: Immigrants to Palestine (between 1897 and 2020) were Jews? <= prove this wrong.

58 – I tend to wonder what Unz’s game is. Some of the articles on his site and a great deal of the comments are into Holocaust denial, open admiration for the Third Reich etc. There is a good deal of unabashed hatred for Jews expressed on his site.

@ Waldorf
There are many kinds of german national socialists, some who claimed to hate jews but ended up working with zionists when they got airlifted to America or Canada, some were actually serious and went to Egypt and Syria and fought against Israel until the end of their lives.

It saddens me to see that some hasbara troll succeeded in diverting the argument on this thread for a time by raising the antisemitism lie.
Those deceitful pigs who try and bolster the criminal zionist state forever try that one on and here at MoA where we are politically mature enough to ignore such tosh it is important we do so.
Judeophobia is a euro-amerikan issue it has never been the motivator for palestinians or the wider ME arabic & farsi speaking communities.
The fascists who backed hitler & co were euros – ME resistance to the invasion & looting of Palestine has always held anti-imperialism as being central to their resistance. Palestinians don’t give a flying f**k about the religion or race of the scum who murdered & raped Palestine’s indigenous population, it doesn’t effect the crime in any way. These zionists drove hundreds of thousands of Palestinians off their land then filled the joint up with euros blatantly sequestering land from 1948 onwards.
If someone steals from you or rapes your mother to scare your family away would you spend time discussing what superstition they claim to hold dear or, would you be too busy with the foul crimes those low lifes committed to consider their nonsense excuse?
Even here in Aotearoa some young people have been indoctrinated by propagandised history texts to believe that WW2 was fought over what the nazis did to jews, that when you show them primary sources describing how both england & amerika put maximum effort into keeping jewish refugees from nazi states out before the war, then once it began, keeping what they knew about nazi treatment of jews hushed up because they didn’t want to get distracted by Joe Public away from the task of defeating the nazi’s military.
several million jews got killed by that nazi scum, euro ‘gypsies’ (more correctly romany people) communities were also wiped out. Worst of all was what happened to the people of the USSR – 20 million soviet civilians plus about another 5 million military were butchered by the nazis, yet if one can only access western media, one would conclude that jews were the only victims of nazi swine during ww2.
Arseholes trying to disrupt MoA conversation with blatant trolls such as the nonsense Lonkal@| May 18 2021 17:16 utc | 13 tried to peddle should be ignored because responding to their bulldust is what they are aiming for.
Over the last 2 decades b and others have worked hard to ensure that discussion of the invasion of palestine is not disrupted by racists and apart from that mark2 idjit who followed the DNC whore around as if she was in heat, there have been very few maybe even no posts aiming criticism for Israel’s butchery on the invaders’ ‘jewishness’.
But on that topic I am obliged to point out that the behaviour of some englander jews & their gentile enablers towards Mr Corbyn, where they falsely accused Mr Corbyn of antisemitism is yet to be punished – it will be. In the meantime the fact that england’s jewish leadership saw no problem with such false accusations should convince anyone with half a brain to conclude that if jewish leaders are prepared to treat so-called ‘antisemitism’ as just another tool to guilt out whitefellas whilst they reap political dividends, then the rest of us are obliged to regard ‘antisemitism’ as just another bullshit political construct.

@82 Has the bombing stopped or the media just stops reporting?
Imemc.org keeps on reporting. The main battle is in the jewish only state and the occupation of the west bank. De bombing of Gaza is just a deflection of the israeli civil war.

Is American falling back?
Washington Tries to Make Others to Pay the Price for its Own Military Adventures
It would be one thing if these provinces were more prepared to deal with Russia-China and the American economy were better than ever – that would be the universalization of Liberalism. But the polar opposite is the case: the provinces are less prepared than ever, and the American economy is clearly at least one level below its apex of 1996-1998. America delegating its defense obligations to its border provinces (Japan, India, Germany, Poland, Australia) clearly points to a direction of shrinking, not expansion, of the Empire.
P.S.: the author of the article calls the Invasion of Iraq of 2003 a “defeat”. I disagree. I think the Invasion of Iraq was the last great, absolute victory of the American Empire; it just happened that what it wanted was not what it needed, and the whole thing backfired a decade later, but all its military objectives were achieved.

The objectives of the USA in Iraq was to topple Saddam Houssein and take over the oil. Both objectives were quickly achieved, still during George W. Bush’s lifetime in the WH. Now, you can claim the Pentagon’s High Command Office is dumb – but that’s another discussion. Fact on the field is that American generals, blessed by the American people itself, established the strategic objectives for their nation for the Invasion of Iraq and achieved them in very short time.
The USA owns 70% of the Iraqi oil wells today, as a result of the Invasion.
Let’s not forget that a crushing majority of the American people was in favor of the Invasion of Iraq and an almost unanimity in favor of the Invasion of Afghanistan. People like to, in hindsight, call George W. Bush “very dumb”, “one of the worst POTUSes in American History” etc. etc., but fact is it was basically a free reelection situation and W. Bush took it.
It’s ironic that the two most catastrophic foreign policy decisions by the American Empire in the 21st Century were taken directly by the American people, not by some obscure bureaucratic/deep state elite. Or maybe it’s not ironic, maybe it’s just the logical end of the American system. Maybe the American people is not what if thought it was, maybe it is really dumb. Maybe the POTUSes are dumbing themselves because they are trying to speak to the intellectual level of their own people, not vice-versa. If true, this would be the classical Hegel reinterpretation of the Sphinx’s Enigma: the American people spent so much decades searching for the guilty for all its problems overseas and in Washington D.C., when the guilty was itself.

re: Diplomacy is back[?]
good news from Korea
US will build on Singapore agreement with North Korea: Campbell

The U.S. administration of President Joe Biden will build on a 2018 summit agreement with North Korea, White House Asia czar Kurt Campbell said Tuesday, extending overtures to Pyongyang after completing a monthslong policy review on the North.
“Our policy review took a careful look at everything that has been tried before. Our efforts will build on Singapore and other agreements made by previous administrations,” Campbell, White House policy coordinator for the Indo-Pacific, said in a written interview with Yonhap News Agency.
It marks the first time a ranking U.S. official has said on the record that the Biden administration will inherit the denuclearization agreement signed in Singapore by former President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un in June 2018.
Under the landmark agreement, Kim committed to work toward complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula and the two sides also agreed to establish new relations and a lasting and stable peace regime on the peninsula. . . .here. . .

If they follow through, it would be a victory for South Korea’s President Moon, and for peace.

No, that’s just more of the “sheeple” hogwash. The American people are the victims of fake news and haven’t taken a “decision” on anything. It’s all handled by a corrupt government especially Congress, which four out of five citizens disapprove of. . .here

Polls also indicated that Hillary would be president.

Posted by: Don Bacon | May 19 2021 17:28 utc | 98

It’s worth remembering — or noting — that most US presidential polling is meaningless, because the great majority of polls assume, incorrectly, that the president is elected by majority vote. To say “54% of eligible voters support Candidate X” is irrelevant if Candidate Y wins a majority of Electoral College votes.
Just one of countless ways in which US political discourse is dumbed down.
