– Trump: “Gaza is a disgusting place right now, and I will turn it into a free zone.

This once again ordains my station as a fundamental, orthodox agnostic. Posted by: chunga | May 18 2025 14:36 utc | 11 I have been saying for over a year that Israel is America.

Posted by: Giyane | May 18 2025 16:00 utc | 18 Having seen General Sis talk about being ready to help in the reconstruction of Gaza, I now realize that the reason Egypt has not helped the starving Gazans is because he is thinking of all the money he is going to make for the reconstruction. Egypt has already made millions upon millions from Palestinians wanting to leave for medical care of just escaping the latest phase of the war.

Hence why they are assassinated. It leaves no one able to validate their first hand experience. Posted by: Ornot | May 18 2025 16:52 utc | 24 imagine if 40 israelis/jews were killed in an air-stike or missile-strike by Hezbollah or Iran or whomever anywhere in the world; the Western Great Free Press would repeat it ten thousand times every day, and for months on end… Posted by: michaelj72 | May 18 2025 17:07 utc | 26 Michael Tracey: Have you noticed that Trump’s big lavish tour of the Gulf monarchies literally coincided with Israel commencing its end-stage annihilation campaign in Gaza — subduing regional opposition from the already docile potentates, and even the ruler of Syria also seemingly neutralized Posted by: xor | May 18 2025 17:17 utc | 27 Any claim to the superiority of Islam is gainsaid by its votaries in ISIS, Boko Haram, al Quaida, Taliban, Pakistani rape gangs, and its decapitations, and its burning churches filled with Christians. These are the faces of Islam. Posted by: Kansas | May 18 2025 17:21 utc | 28 see the photos at the first 2 links Posted by: michaelj72 | May 18 2025 17:32 utc | 29 From Dutch news in English website.

Posted by: LoveDonbass | May 18 2025 18:19 utc | 37 Posted by: canuck | May 18 2025 18:14 utc | 37 Posted by: LoveDonbass | May 18 2025 18:35 utc | 39 Scientists are only now beginning to weigh in on the ecoside occurring in Gaza. And, not surprisingly, Netanyhu et. al., Trump et. al., appear to anticipate that the range of their powers extend to wind currents and that airbourne vectors of pollution, disease, micron level dust containing radioactive, heavy metal and fragments of mutated bacterial and viral dna – magically drop out of the air at the border between Gaza and Israel. Not even remotely true. Having dropped more bomb tonnage on Gaza than Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined, having ensured that disease and contamination are rampant, the ecoside – affecting the the entire region, including Israel is enormous. Air bourne vectors ensure that Israeli children, Israeli citizens are daily breathing air loaded with contaminants. Given studies on this issues, the Israeli public can anticipate an acceleration of cancers, orphan diseases and heavy metal toxicity which disrupts memory and cognition. Such consequences will emerge over the long term – scientific research would suggest that they are inevitable. Gives truth to the comment in Exodus that the iniquities of the fathers will be laid on the children and their children, through third and fourth generations. Netanyahu, Biden and Trump have done Israel no favors. Diplomacy would have been a far, far safer pathway… Posted by: abierno | May 18 2025 18:45 utc | 40 This NYU kid has alot of guts calling out the Zionists; I can’t commend him enough: Posted by: canuck | May 18 2025 18:46 utc | 41 Posted by: LoveDumbass | May 18 2025 18:35 utc | 40 Posted by: canuck | May 18 2025 18:52 utc | 42 see the photos and videos at the links Posted by: michaelj72 | May 18 2025 18:57 utc | 43 @Georgie | May 18 2025 16:27 utc | 22 Posted by: Don Firineach | May 18 2025 19:12 utc | 44 @Georgie | May 18 2025 16:27 utc | 22 Posted by: Don Firineach | May 18 2025 19:14 utc | 45 Via journalist Youssef Fares Posted by: Ornot | May 18 2025 19:30 utc | 46 I had heard chatter that Hamas asked for food to be let in for Edan Alexander, this might be Witcoff delivering. Too early to tell if this will actually arrest the starvation.

Posted by: Larkin | May 18 2025 21:04 utc | 50 we need some moderation on here: Posted by: Ray | May 18 2025 21:10 utc | 51 Israel is supposedly going to send some food into Gaza. A “minimal” amount to “avoid famine”. (Too late, ya killer scumbags.). They won’t say when the crossings will be opened, however. Posted by: teri | May 18 2025 21:48 utc | 52 Israel continues to deliberately target and murder journalists in Gaza: Posted by: Menz | May 18 2025 21:57 utc | 53 Drop Site Posted by: Menz | May 18 2025 21:59 utc | 54 Eye on Palestine Posted by: Menz | May 18 2025 21:59 utc | 55 Drop Site Posted by: Menz | May 18 2025 22:00 utc | 56 I continue to be amazed at the depravity on display by the US peace president…from The Cradle
The US killed Gaddafi for supporting his people with oil revenue and trying to go around the US dollar. They stole Libya money and now want to use it to bribe the country to take Palestinians.

It’s some kind of organised, Zionist, sick joke to send Macron, feigning concern about the Genocide, to demand a reprieve based on acceptance by the Palestinians of some form of licenced control by the PA. Posted by: Giyane | May 19 2025 11:10 utc | 67 A few weeks ago someone posted a Telegram link to a video of Israeli prison guards anally raping a prisoner while threatening him with a vicious dog. Posted by: Barr | May 19 2025 11:14 utc | 68 Barr 69 Posted by: Giyane | May 19 2025 11:23 utc | 69 Netanyahu: “Israel is going to take over all of Gaza, that’s what we are going to do.” Posted by: JB | May 19 2025 11:26 utc | 70 I wonder if the larger picture perhaps isn’t widely understood. Posted by: Sunny Runny Burger | May 19 2025 11:47 utc | 71 Alastair Crooke Posted by: JohnGilberts | May 19 2025 12:17 utc | 72 With all due respect to Alastair Crooke, it misses the mark somewhat to say that the Zionazi entity is in moral meltdown. It is more accurate to say that the Zionazi entity is self-actualizing. Posted by: malenkov | May 19 2025 12:26 utc | 74 In the war the destroyed the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY, 1991-1995) the UNSC imposed a weapons embargo which left the Bosnian Muslims without arms, even though they were being attacked, first by the Serbian side and then by the Croatian side, both intending to enlarge their republics (Serbia and Croatia) by taking territory from Bosnia. Posted by: JB | May 19 2025 12:42 utc | 75 Well there you have it – even though the eventual winner was miles behind in the polls somehow he won – of course he’s pro-EU, pro-Neo-Nazi and pro-Zio-Nazi Romanian democracy id dead as the Dodo. Romanians need to rise up in a revolution. Posted by: Republicofscotland | May 19 2025 13:23 utc | 76 JB 76 Posted by: Giyane | May 19 2025 13:44 utc | 77 George Simion is more of a pro zio-Nazi… Posted by: jure | May 19 2025 13:45 utc | 78 Via Journalist Suhaib Al-Masalma Posted by: Ornot | May 19 2025 13:46 utc | 79 “i.e. Trump and EU made ‘humanitarian aid’ happen . They are compassionate and saved the Palestinians. Posted by: canuck | May 19 2025 14:12 utc | 80 “Judaism is finished and the US is finished. Two birds with one stone.” Posted by: canuck | May 19 2025 14:14 utc | 81 Bibi and the War Cabinet are clinically insane……..30 trucks per WEEK, to feed a population of 2.3 million people, is not nearly enough and they clearing know that. Posted by: tobias cole | May 19 2025 14:15 utc | 82 Alastair Crooke: Posted by: WMG | May 19 2025 14:32 utc | 83 Who gives a fuck what Cuntibollocks said at a press conference. Judaism died on Oct 7. Posted by: Giyane | May 19 2025 14:40 utc | 84 to abierno # 41. Dennis Kucinick posted an article on http://www.GlobalResearch.ca a couple weeks ago giving lots of detail on this subject. I already posted the link so I will not repost. He says what you say but more emphatically. Posted by: Formerly Miss Lacy | May 19 2025 15:17 utc | 85 How the Zio-Monsters and their propaganda machine manipulated the vote at the Zio-Vison Song Contest, to give the Israeli entry a 5th place finish – its shows you how disgusting Europe’s leaders are – when they allowed an occupying force, that’s committing genocide, to compete in this political farce of a contest. Posted by: Republicofscotland | May 19 2025 15:53 utc | 86 Speaking the truth – will get you arrested in Yankee land no matter who you are. Posted by: Republicofscotland | May 19 2025 15:58 utc | 87 Quit blaming the proxies. Posted by: Not Ewe | May 19 2025 16:33 utc | 88 Churches are being burned and Christians slaughtered in Nigeria and Sub-Saharan Africa. Posted by: Arch Bungle | May 19 2025 21:21 utc | 89 “Israel” is a masculine noun in Latin. That saying should be “Israel delendus est.” Posted by: Lysias | May 19 2025 21:34 utc | 90 Lysias 91 Posted by: Giyane | May 20 2025 0:48 utc | 91 Arch Bungle 90 Posted by: Giyane | May 20 2025 1:19 utc | 92 Yesterday the former SecDef (under G.W.Bush and Obama) Gates gave an interview to Margaret Brenner on Face the Nation – (CBS). He said that if a government official disagrees with the government policy – he/she should resign. Very true. Some people take it to the extreme by burning himself ( Aaron Bushnell, a hero in my eyes). Posted by: fanto | May 20 2025 3:04 utc | 93 David Hearst (Middle East Eye): “Israel has already lost the Gaza war it just doesn’t know it yet” (??????????????????) Posted by: WMG | May 20 2025 6:32 utc | 94 David Hearst (Middle East Eye): “Israel has already lost the Gaza war it just doesn’t know it yet” (??????????????????) Posted by: WMG | May 20 2025 6:37 utc | 95 These cowards and criminals will try to paint themselves as “heroes”, now that they see the whole world had enough of their “Israel has the right to defend itself” BS! But I don’t think people will ever forget or forgive their total complicity on the genocide. I certainly won’t. Posted by: Moltke | May 20 2025 12:29 utc | 96 Re Formerly Miss Lacey No. 85 – Thank you very much for the reference to Kuncinich’ article on Substack. I hadn’t seen it. Not only is it an indepth discussion but also the citations are excellent. I would only add two things: 1) It doesn’t deal with the issue of RNA/DNA mutations in virii and bacterium and their impact on humans; 2) Because of the exceptionally small size of the air borne particles, they are not only inhaled but ingested and enter the body via transcutaneous transport. No doubt they also cross the blood-brain barrier. Wreak havoc on immune system, accelerate to high levels of inflammation and can create major disruption of brain functioning. Explains the orphan diseases, acceleration of cancers and brain fog leading to dementia. SA/UAE/Quatar all downwind… Potential to destroy the health of untold numbers of people – children, adolescents, adults and elderly; some will be more susceptible than others. Posted by: abierno | May 20 2025 15:43 utc | 97 ‘The Arab betrayal has become so obscene it suffocates all speech. It silences reason. It annihilates voice. This is the summit of disgrace. And before that disgrace, I do not protest. I apologize.
