I’m repost from last thread my response about this, but after viewing your linked twitter and reading further the U.S. proposal, it’s worse for Gaza than I initially knew.
Hamas would be crazy to agree to that piece of garbage.
Considering all, especially todays Israel citizens protests… I hope Hamas realizes time is in their side, and to hold out.
Anyways: REPOST here:
“I’ve been reading and listening to various reports regarding the recent “humanitarian pause” agreement, Israel recently made some “wording” alterations, but overall, appears “agreeable”… appears back to Hamas currently. There are some Muslim commentators that believe this is a good “start”.
I guess also that Hamas and other Gaza resistance groups are having their hearts broke viewing all the starvation and deaths everywhere and very much desire humanitarian aid for their people.
All I know, watching Netanyahu’s recent video, in measured tone, assessing agreement and taking it to his cabinet for review and approval, … there seemed to me to be a sinister glee in his eyes, he hates this thing with a passion but his glint showed me, he’s definitely hiding something.
Anyways, as difficult as this path Gaza is on, something tells me to deviate or have a truce now, would only make things worse for Gazans.
Yes, I do hope Hamas rejects whatever “word adjustment” Israelis have proposed, I do think help is on the way. I recently read an article (can’t find at the moment) that the Houthis are ready to break blockade and run their ships in there. They made that announcement recently, and frankly, Houthis are pretty good at doing what they say.
Just throwing this out there for general discussion, although in a day or so, might be mute. Hamas & Israel will either have an agreement or not.

I trying to imagine the kind of person that can machine gun women or children. Such a person is the enemy of all mankind. Or the type of state that imposes a starvation siege on civilians. Such a state is the enemy of all mankind.
I’m so sorry for our inaction. For my pathetic mewling. None of it is adequate, and while Claire Daly and others might make my heart leap knowing at least someone is giving voice to the voiceless my soul is crushed. I know I do nothing. I say nothing and even if I speak it’s meaningless in a world without meaning. Media utterly compromised. Stenogrpahers for power bitching about Oscar nominations while babies die of starvation. In such a world how can the inane rules of law of our corrupt states have any force? Civilization itself cannot stand.

IMO the US knows it is broke. If they can get SA, Russia, China to retaliate in the ME then they will say ‘we are now at war’ so we have to freeze all the assets of these countries in the West.
They have already have the precedent of freezing Russia’s Western assets two years ago..
Otherwise, I don’t see any rational of ‘getting’ the ME ablaze.

Yes. The Why: The grand strategy, since 2008, is to create Fortress America in the entire New World, with as many outposts on the other side of the oceans as can be maintained and exploited on a practical level. The idea of trashing the Iran nuke deal and ginning up a war with Russia in Ukraine are both directed at Europe, by isolating it economically from the Russo-Chinese-Global South axis for as long as possible, while looting it of manufacturing capacity, making it a captive market for American energy products and, down the road, food and manufactures from the new American high-tech industrial base based on German companies and skilled workers transplanted to the US, and control of Latin American resources. The sanctions ‘against Russia’ deindustrialized Germany and made the satraps of Europe absolute slaves of US hegemony. To keep them that way, the hot war in Ukraine will be reduced to a simmer or ended altogether, but a new cold war must be developed to keep European countries from turning east for help.
All this points to a US interest in doing something similar in the ME- they don’t want a conflagration, they just want a constant source of conflict that isolates Europe. It is Netanyahoo that wants to escalate, so that he can stay out of jail and become, literally, a biblical hero, creating Greater Israel from the river to the sea (including from the Nile to the Red Sea, and from the Euphrates to the Mediterranean).
So far, the US has contained Nutty, while getting the isolation of Europe that it wants, but unlike Zelensky/Azov/Ukraine, Netanyahoo/Zionists/Israel have real leverage in the US halls of power. Israel has overstepped, and whichever course it takes its end as a Zionist entity is nigh. The problem for the US is to find a way of preventing things from going nuclear, and to manage the destruction of the Israeli state in such a way as to continue to isolate Europe from the ME, China and Russia. The current actions are just about buying time to figure out a new strategy to achieve these goals.

Down the road, after the shit has hit the fan, who is going to take the blame?
Jews worldwide, because they did nothing to restrain the disaster and it will look like they are responsible. Which they are to a large degree. This will not be pretty.
Already I hold American Jews largely responsible for what is happening. Yes, there are many that do stand up and speak up, but until American Jews shut down the ADL and AIPAC- which are their lobbying agents – the bulk of American Jews remain responsible. When the shit hits the fan – or rather after – they will be left holding the bag. Perhaps they will be lucky to get deported to what’s left of Israel.
It would serve them well to look ahead at the consequences of their actions. The judgement of roosting chickens.

I agree. But I’d is another tainted illusion of the US. I say that because they are calculating and see the EU through the lens of the US. I mean that literally, the states of the Americas each have their own state constitution etc and are bound together by/through Federal (was constitution, now Federal Reserve Bank) government. This is ingrained & status quo for over 400 years.
The EU project on the other hand, what 40-45 years about?
As a EuroCoin, Euro Commission. Mostly tiny statelets ?
Anyways, that “iron-grip” isn’t going to hold. We’re already seeing stress cracks in this little bit of pressure, wait till the whole Union goes belly up… each of them will break off and run to sign contracts with China, Russia, whoever will give them money.
For the EU, it’s been a fun, prosperous, lazy ride… but they are not fully saturated, indoctrinated to this “uniform EU technocrat Commission” that another maybe 80 years would have left them helpless.
So again… the US is deluded itself, thinking it’s going to “survive” on the carcass of EU. The “citizens” are already making the EU toss their “green plans” out the window, and again, EU hasn’t seen nothing yet as far as “pressure”.
For me, the ME is simple. The U.S./UK want control of all shipping lanes and oilfields import/export. That’s want the “normalization” with Israel was all about. Take Israel and gulf states, put an axe to axis of resistance, Russia and China all at the same time.
That “plan” is finished. Another delusion bites the dust.

“Gaza is just the introductory chapter, the platform this gang wants to build as the foundation upon which the real fight they are eyeing will be conducted: the battle for the West Bank and the Temple Mount.
The ultimate aim of this gang is “purging” the West Bank of its Palestinian inhabitants, cleansing the Temple Mount of its Muslim worshippers and annexing the territories to the state of Israel. The way to achieve this goal is blood-soaked. Israeli blood, in the state and in the territories it has been controlling for 57 years now, as well as Jewish blood in places elsewhere in the world. As well as a lot of Palestinian blood, of course, in the territories, in Jerusalem and if there is no alternative – also among Arab citizens of Israel.
This aim will not be achieved without extensive violent conflict. Armageddon. All-out war. In the south, in Jerusalem, in the territories of the West Bank and to the extent necessary also on the northern border. Such a war will bolster the impression that we are fighting for our lives, for our very existence. In a war for survival, it is permissible to do insufferable things, and the hilltop youth are proving daily that among them are many who are capable of precisely that.
This gang of pogromists has been successful in the first stage prior to the uproar and all-out war that they apparently hope will erupt here. They have taken control of the government of Israel and have made the man who heads it into their servant. The possibility that they will dismantle the government and kick the prime minister out of running the matters of state is not outlandish. It is a process that is taking place at this very moment, step by step.”

Netanyahu, speaking in an interview with CBS News, added he was meeting with staff later on Sunday to review a dual military plan that included the evacuation of Palestinian civilians in Gaza and an operation to destroy remaining Hamas battalions, which Israel says are located in Rafah in southern Gaza.
“If we have a deal, it will be delayed somewhat, but it will happen. If we don’t have a deal, we’ll do it anyway,” he told CBS. [source: Al Jazeera]

Egyptian media reported on Sunday the resumption of negotiations between the Palestinian group Hamas and Israel over ceasefire and hostage exchange talks.
“Ceasefire negotiations resumed through meetings at the level of specialists held in Doha, followed by meetings in Cairo,” the privately-owned Cairo News Channel reported, citing an informed Egyptian source.
Israel’s War Cabinet decided late on Saturday to send a delegation to Qatar to have talks on a hostage exchange agreement with the Palestinian group Hamas, according to Israeli media. [source TRT World]

This latest round of “negotiations” shows the Jews are not listening to Hamas. They made no response to the Hamas demand for the Jews to exit Gaza.
So this would be a good time for another Hamas attack beyond the Gaza fence to gather more prisoners. And it would be a good time for Hamas to make three more demands
— No more Jewish interference with Gaza’s use of its seacoast.
— No more Jewish interference with Gaza’s free use of its border with Egypt, and
— No more Jewish interference with Gaza’s free use of its airspace.

Well the month is up tomorrow.
“In a historic interim judgment, the UN court in The Hague told Israel it must “take all measures within its power” to desist from killing Palestinians in contravention of the genocide convention, and to prevent and punish the incitement of genocide and facilitate the provision of “urgent basic services”. But the ruling stopped short of ordering a ceasefire to the war in Gaza.
After Friday’s ruling, attention turned to whether Israel would comply with the order – given that the court has no enforcement powers – and what pressure its diplomatic and military backers would bring to bear on it to do so.”
Has Israel did everything in its power to prevent civilian deaths? Has it f*ck, the ICJ MUST call for an immediate ceasefire and begin a case against those that have perpetrated and helped perpetrate genocide against the oppressed Palestinians.

This discussion, between a couple of theologians (Chris Hedges & Shaul Magid) might get a bit too churchy for the refined tastes of some barflies, but I found it edifying, as usual when philosophical inquiries consult Hannah Arendt. Magid describes the absurd contortions comprising “liberal Zionism”:

But liberal Zionism is in a defensive mode at this point. Because you have a group of people who consider themselves liberal Zionists, who are committed to liberal ideas, who are committed to equality, who are committed to justice, and they’re supporting a state that’s not committed to those values and not committed to those ideas. So the question is, what value does it have for a liberal movement to support an illiberal state? Now, we can argue about the nature of the state but one of the things that is the underside of democracy is that the people that are living in the state choose the state. It’s not that Netanyahu won in a fluke election; Netanyahu has been winning for a long time. The Israeli left not only is now in the opposition, but the Israeli left didn’t make enough votes to be in the government at all. So we’re in a situation where, my perspective is that liberal Zionism doesn’t have any new ideas, partly because the country that it supports has chosen a different path.

What’s stupid is thinking that Bahrain is an independent actor. It was created as it exists to guarantee dependence on colonial powers for the survival of its ruling elite. Even if that leadership suddenly had a communist epiphany, Bahrain is occupied by major elements of US military force. That occupation is, in fact, part and parcel of their ‘support’ for Operation Preposterous Haurdon.

Yes, that’s the goal, but a limited fire is all that’s needed for that at this point. A real conflagration is an extreme existential risk to the PTB (and civilization on earth), and it’s unnecessary. The Americentric leadership of the global financial system doesn’t want nuclear war, they wanted contained forever wars in specific locations. Netanyahoo may be off the leash, though, for purely personal reasons: He doesn’t want to go to prison, originally for fraud, but now absolutely for war crimes and crimes against humanity. He’d prefer to be the Hero of Zionism for all time, and he’s perfectly willing to risk his and everyone else’s lives on his gamble. The psychotic American neocons and nazi-aligned neolibs may go along with him for their own reasons, but they don’t really need to do anything, he can light things off without their help.

I’d like to suggest a useful paradigm to the bar:
Ideology is simply the expression of particular class interests. Those interests have persistent elements over time, chief of which is the survival of the class itself, and the class system that it is a part of, but the particular interest change because the world changes.
The ideologues that represent the interests of the ruling class at one historical moment are not capable of representing the interests of that same ruling class at another historical moment, and so must be replaced from time to time with different ideologues who better fit the current needs of their rulers.
Ideologues, and ideologies, have a life of their own. They have true believers, who follow the logic of their beliefs. Removing a dominant ideology from power is a difficult, complex and time-consuming project, and the possibility of failure is always present.
I think that the careful application of this paradigm may help some barflies get ahead of the curve and more reliably predict events, at least in their broad outlines.
It’s not the case that Big Brother can simply get on the TV and announce ‘We have always been at war with East Asia.” He needs to be replaced from time to time by Wise Uncle, or Younger Brother, or even Big Sister, for the change to be swallowed by the masses. That’s what’s going on now in the west.

In thoughtfully reading all your posts, I can only glean you are in denial of the collapse of the Western economic order and Empire.
It has nothing to do with “Capitalism” or any “ism”… or with being savy, clever (cleverer than anyone here) educated or realistic.
Plain and simple… it’s corruption. It’s corrupt to the core, every faucet of every power lever is corrupt. Banks are eating banks, rich are eating rich, and the weight of the corruption is collapsing the Empire.
There is no Wise Uncle, or Younger Brother or Big Sister on the horizon in any Western capitol. Just facism & totalitarianism on deck.
Colonel McGregor and the like, simply see an isolated, degraded, collapsed USSR like for the USA on the stoop of their porch and are hoping to be there to bring it back to life once it’s dead.
There are a lot of people that think this is some “global plan” to usher in a “global order” and the ever clever “ruling class” got it all gamed out, and it’s all going “according to plan”.
I think the West is toast, the Empire is done. There’s no “World Global Order” out there. Corruption has an end.

The problem is generational. The old farts in Florida, usually rich, are the hardcore Zionists despite not living there. Chief among them are the Adelsons, Paul Singer and Chaim Saban, among others.
Still filled with Zionist delusions, they use their money to support a dream that doesn’t exist, and hucksters, both Jewish and not, are there to collect, be it to promote hatred of Muslims like Pamela Geller, Ezra Levant and “Brigitte Gabriel”, evangelical Zionist fetishists like Hagee, or political propagandists like Ben Shapiro.
As usual, it is the young who bear the cost of this fantasy, whether it is American Jews who have to personally face resentment at Zionist manipulation of American politics and worry about spectacles like Charlottesville, or Israeli Jews who have to face economic disruption due to war and boycotts, and have to serve in the military to serve the fantasies of the old.

The conflation of support for Zionism with membership of the Jewish community is precisely what the Hasbara propagandists aim for.
Many, perhaps a majority, of Jews are opposed to Zionism as a project, many more are appalled by the genocide being carried out in their name.
Among the most perceptive and consistent opponents of the genocide and the best champions of the Palestinian cause are many who identify themselves as Jews.
The only purpose served by blaming Jews, per se, for what is being done in Palestine is to attract the support of fascists and racists. The people of Palestine can do without that support.
Zionism is founded on antisemitism, it craves it, creates it and lives off it. It always has done. Fighting Zionism includes fighting anti-semitism.
Nothing is more pleasing to Hasbara than to review comments on sites like this one and discover attacks on Jews assuming that they are automatically friends of Israel.
AIPAC is controlled and financed by a small class of oligarchs, by no means all of them Jewish, who control Congress as much in their own interest as capitalists as in the interests of Israeli fascism.

He was bought down by accusations of antisemitism. Replaced with starmer, the mass murderer. Fool me once.

Sounds like a lot of delay motions. China is a step ahead of the coming UNSC “blame Hamas” resolution coming & pretty much stated their position at ICJ. I’d be surprised if any resolution like that passed, as US has attempted 4xs to pass that.
I think it’s all going to come down to the GA over riding (which they have the power to do) and order an actionable resolution. The question is, how many Nations would support it in a vote? I believe it would be very simple, something like: Permanent Ceasefire / Open Aide Borders Immediately / Release all hostages.
Something the majority of GA members would respond positively too.
I believe they would also implement an enforcement measure for aid delivery of some kind.
Anyways, next 2 weeks seems to be either a Ceasefire or a raging fire across ME. One or the other, times up on the dock. But that’s just my opinion.

I disagree. The U.S. by blowing up pipeline and extricating EU from Russia, as well as interrupting EU China deals, believes that EU stranglehold complete.
The ME is about China & Russia only. That’s my opinion.

The subjugation of Europe can’t be reversed by the Euro-peons on their own. The need help from Russia, China or at the very least, ME oil at cheap prices. If they get any of this before the deindustrialization of their manufacturing is complete, an input of cheap energy will allow them to rebuild their economies. In the meantime, they have to be isolated from substantive help from the Axis of Resistance and/or the Global South. The SMO now, and the new cold war later, will suffice for Russian energy, but the constriction of the Red Sea route has to be maintained also. So, a level of conflict in the ME that can justify military action and/or sanctions in the area needs to be kept going, and the Europeons have to be kept divided, at least, on the issues of the ME. Right now, without the USUK/Yemen shutting down the Red Sea, Europe would pivot rapidly to abandoning Israel and making nice with Iran to keep the oil flowing. US can’t have that.

Man sets himself of fire outside Israeli Embassy in Washington
He was reportedly protesting the ongoing war in Gaza
“shows that the man was wearing a military uniform and described himself as “an active duty member of the US Air Force.”
According to Jane, the man said “I will no longer be complicit in genocide” and shouted “Free Palestine.” The journalist posted a graphic photo of a man engulfed in flames”

President Berserki of Northern Iraq has been stopped by the ICC from selling Kurdish Oil , because his and the other main Party embezzled all the funds and paid no.municipal wages pensions etc. Oil sales have now been taken back into Baghdad control and wages are being paid direct to local cities.
Obama’s plan was Islamic State Israeli proxies to terrorise Kurdistan into submission. Iran was used to attack Mosul after the proxies had achieved their goals.
So not all the names being sent to Israel by the US will be signed by Brett McGurk for Gaza Yemen and Hezbullah. Some of them will be sent to bomb Northern Iraq, after Mossad’s office was trashed in Erbil by Iran.
The blood-curdling threats by Netanyahu against Palestinians sre exactly the same as the blood-curdling threats by his kinsman Shimon Baghdadi.
USUKIS is like a headless Giant living in cloud cuckoo lsnd after its chicken that laid the golden eggs, in Ukraine, in West Asia and in the Far East has been stolen.
Fee fi fo fum, I smell the blood of an English man
Be he alive or be he dead, I’ll grind his bones to make my bread.
Whoever blew up Nordstream, and attacked Al Aqsa, wanted to increase the price of oil. Maybe to make green energy more competitive.

Recapitulating a vivid protest against USA’s war on Vietnam:

Thích Quảng Đức was a Vietnamese Mahayana Buddhist monk who died by self-immolation at a busy Saigon road intersection on 11 June 1963.

That certainly made a worldwide impression, 60 years ago. It even made an excruciating album-cover for Rage Against the Machine. My dearest teacher Thich Nhat Hanh has written about this form of protest. But if a tree falls in forest and nobody hears it…

“Retarded. Yes retarded indeed the Jews are still waiting for their Messiah, 2024 years after his pbuh rather public prophetic mission to them.
And 1443 years and waiting late to recognise the Great prophet mentioned as ‘still to come’ in the Gospels.
They have really and truly missed the boat.'”

Really?
You have too much hate, no diplomacy and zero ability to understand reform and reconciliation: you want and desire violence.
You are no better than the worst Zionist.
I pity you and your shallow soul.
I regret giving you the brand of Bob Marley whom was a gentle soul-you certainly are not-I now retract that idea.
Your ideas of violence disqualifies you from being any part of any art.

As soon as Hamas has no more hostages under its control, the zionist state can proceed to raze the ghetto and kill everyone no-holds barred.

ChasMark@76
ChasMark@92….
I was taught brevity of words, say more with less, find one word that conveys the point rather than ten….oh lord how I wish people would try it, unfortunately it’s English.
Leprechaun digression. Jane had it right: My point: the savagery of shooting women and children is a given (just sayin’)—but Arab men have also taken a terrible, terrible toll since the Zio-freak-zombies came to their shores and vowed to destroy them. The British facilitated militarily “castrating” Arab men (forcing them to disarm while letting the Zio-freaks arm up) so that they could not protect their society and their women and children.
Which I thought was her point: that Data Collection (not much different than an English Census) designed by Nazis was used by Zionists to target Palestinians. Apologies to Jane I just linked the two in my head, I see little to no difference between them, both equally evil.
So let’s tie up the lose ends, and you can go down whatever rabbit hole you chose, I’ll keep to mine.
Evangelical Protestantism comes out of England, long before Zionists faked the Protocols and Nazis were out of diapers. Zionism as a tool of evil was conceived in England, by Jews or Protestantism is irrelevant, it came from and was dreamed up in England. Those two forces of evil and their incestuous relationship birthed Nazism. That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it.
Evil, is evil, is evil, is evil, demonic at this point.
Cheers M
…when I watch and listen to Apartheid Settler’s and what they think of Palestinians, listen to the evil and what the say, I have personally lived among rabid Protestants who proudly fly the Star of David outside their homes…..”know them by their deeds.”

“Regarding Rabbi Wise’s autobiography: he mentions that in mid-February 1933 Louis Brandeis directed him to arrange that “all 587,000 German Jews” leave Germany.
How do you suppose Stephen Wise arrived at that number ?”
ChasMark
======================================
Du bist wirklich ein Depp.
Wise could look at the German census figures.
But the figure he quoted was incorrect.
