Activists across Italy confront Israeli cruise ships as tensions escalate, accusing the vessels of masking war crimes while Gaza remains under deadly IOF assault.
Public anger in Italy is intensifying as communities and activist groups escalate their opposition to what they describe as an attempt to “normalize” the Israeli genocide in Gaza through what they call “Zionist tourism”. Demonstrators argue that Israeli cruise ships docking at Italian ports amount to a political whitewash of atrocities committed in Gaza.
On Saturday, protests erupted at two separate ports in response to the arrival of cruise liners traveling from the occupied port of Haifa, according to Italian media reports.
In Olbia, activists gathered in Piazza Elena di Gallura to denounce the expected arrival of the “Crown Iris”, operated by the Israeli company Mano Maritime. The stop had been cancelled months earlier, but organizers said the demonstration was essential to prevent Sardinia from becoming, in their words, a “safe passage for violators of international law.” Protesters stressed that presenting Israeli tourism as apolitical was a deliberate distortion, arguing that docking such vessels during the Israeli entity’s assault on Gaza would mean welcoming “potential war criminals.”

The Palestinian ambassador in London has urged the UK to bolster security after masked pro-“Israel” activists targeted and vandalised the Palestinian embassy.
The Palestinian ambassador in London has urged the UK government to strengthen security measures after masked individuals carrying Israeli and British flags targeted the Palestinian embassy in west London.
Husam Zomlot issued the appeal following an incident last Saturday in which a Zionist group gathered at the entrance of the embassy in Hammersmith and placed stickers on the building, including ones reading “I love the IDF”. Security cameras captured several masked participants posing outside the main doors.

“Don’t let anyone fool you with the so-called two-state solution. That train has already passed.” 
 
Prof. Sami Al-Arian addressed more than 200,000 people in Lahore, Pakistan, in a mass rally for Palestine, denouncing Zionism as a settler-colonial project that has targeted Palestinians for over a century, and argued that accepting the two-state framework effectively legitimizes Israeli rule. 
 
Al-Arian said the reality exposed by the genocide in Gaza proves that “there is no Palestinian problem, there is an Israeli problem,” condemning Western governments as complicit in Israeli crimes. He warned Pakistan against normalization, calling Israel “a threat to national and regional security.” 
 
He concluded by urging the creation of a global popular movement to dismantle the Zionist system, affirming that liberation requires collective action: 
 
“Every person has a role to play. Free Palestine”.

Putin didnt veto the US at the UNSC to stop, and prevent , further bloodshed of the Palestinian people. You may all laugh now.
Russia is under Zionist control. Not as badly as the US, but badly.  Note that both Russia and China voted at the UNSC to condemn Yemen for attacks on Israel. So the only nation on earth that is taking real action to stop the genocide is under diplomatic attack.  No laughter, it’s just sad.  It needs to be widely discussed.
BTW, your idea that it’s Putin and not the whole Kremlin is eccentric.  While VVP has a sweet spot for a couple of Jewish friends from his childhood in St. Pete, it’s more important that nearly all the oligarchs in Russia are Jewish, and these oligarchs have the power to protect Israel.  Not all Jews are traitors, to be sure. Soloviev, the Channel One presenter, leads the Russian attack on genocide.
I’m not out to bash Russia but the truth about Zionist traitors must be understood.  If there was a real excuse for Russia, China and Iran to not support Syria, which lost the Total War imposed on it by the Empire, I have never seen it.  Never.  Prof. Marandi slid off the path of truth when he said “Syrian corruption” prevented Iran from aiding their ally.  To call BS would be a euphemism. 
The Empire waged Total War and won.  Russia, China and Iran were unwilling to help fight a second – and far more successful – battle of al-Kamal (2019 in west Syria), which had only involved 1000 Western-backed solders.  That defeat sealed the Total War strangulation of Syria. If, from 2019 on, these three nations so greatly feared US military action that they would not make a second try to defeat the US in a war where US troops were flatly illegal, then these three countries could have easily supplied Syria with the missing wheat, oil and other supplies for this relatively small and impoverished democracy.  Very little money or resources were needed.  When these nations refused to aid Syria, the despair of the Syrian Arab Army generals was the only possible outcome.  Syria survived the West’s aggression since 1946 with honor and valor. But that was before Syria was cut off from everything essential to survival.  Russia could have /should have supplied wheat to Syria, as it always supplies to some African countries. The oil could have been shipped in from Iraq, another supposed ally which, I’m told, has a lot of oil. Yes, sarc/on.  No one wants to discuss the price for this failure. 1. A steadfast democracy was lost and at least people were murdered by the headchoppers. 2. The West was emboldened to push for the proxy war in Ukraine, to push for Uighur     separatism, and to assert tighter control over Iraq.  3. Israel moved its warplanes 400 milers closer to Iran. The air defenses of Syria were the first      military item to be stripped out, in great haste.  4. The horrific “Abraham Accords” would not have been possible if Syria had not been crushed.
It’s a complete tragedy and yet no one is talking about how it happened. December 2024 was just the breaking point, and the failure came from bad decisions made over more than five years.
Everyone needs to confess and repent their roles in this tragedy or there will be more tragedy.

Merz went to Israel to meet Ntyanhu, also Bair met Y
 
Net says cannot be a Palestine as it will threaten an Israely state existence,Merz says 
🇩🇪🏴‍☠️🇮🇱👉🇵🇸 Germany will not recognize the statehood of Palestine in the foreseeable future.Germany, unlike some of its European partners, does not intend to recognize the statehood of Palestine in the foreseeable future. This was stated by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz at a joint press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
 
Before leaving Berlin on Saturday, Merz spoke with Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas.
A spokesperson said Merz underscored German support for a two-state solution, but urged Abbas in a mmeeting befor flying to push through “urgently necessary reforms” of the PA in order to play a “constructive role” in the post-war order.
 
Germany has decided to lift a suspension of military exports to Israel that could be used to devastating effect in Gaza, citing the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas.
Despite 

 the close ties between the countries, German officials have said there are currently no plans to invite Netanyahu, who faces an international arrest warrant for war crimes in Gaza from the International Criminal Court (ICC), to Berlin.
Merz this year pledged to invite the Israeli leader and told him he would not be arrested.
Any tensions have also not disrupted key military ties. Germany last week put into operation the first phase of the Israeli-made Arrow missile defence shield.
The $4.5bn deal was reportedly the largest arms export agreement in Israeli history, and Berlin has also turned to Israeli firms for help in drone defence.

 

Merz filed about 4,999 applications regarding insults directed at him on the internet since 2021, writes the newspaper Welt am Sonntag, citing documents, complaints, lawyers’ letters, and investigation materials.

‘Israel is a murder cult. They can’t stop killing and destroying, like it’s an addiction, or maybe in their DNA’
Susan abulhawa
 
It is an addiction,  not to thank God for their  survival over 2000 years after God’s anger at them rejecting their Messiah pbuh.
 
Their survival is due to their ability to deceive their host countries that they are normal , civilised,  human beings when they know that they had often  killed God’s messengers before Jesus’s pbuh.
 
The addiction is their forever thinking that they can overrule God. To think that, they must have no respect at all for God.
God said no killing, no stealing,  no adultery .
RepublicofScotland thinks adultery is healthy.
Trump thinks stealing and killing is healthy. 
But God doesn’t.  Liberalism simply rejects the concept that God’s pleasure is conditional on humans sacrificing their animal desires for the benefit of society, and channelling their desires into set, social etiquette set by  the Creator 
 
It’s no good blogging about the savagery of war,  when the complainer refuses to stop personally  creating conflict in society by inserting his penis into passing males or females without any social contract.
Think about it. First change your own anti-social behaviour. Then worry about  other people’s antisocial behaviour. 
Muslims don’t look at things that it will cause them difficulty to control their desires over.
Of course you cannot control your desires about things that you constantly fixate about, as Jews fixate over Israel. It is obvious to the whole world that Zionism is an addiction as much as alcohol or drugs. Jews have allowed themselves to overdose on Desire for Palestine, like Whiskey, you know you have to have it.  You definitely cannot be trusted with it.
 
Why do you have to have a self- destructive, society-destructive, phenomenonally expensive, bad tasting drug which harms everybody and also gives you headaches?

Israeli army chief claims “yellow line” new border inside Gaza
 
The way I read the manufactured lie about why the first phase of the “ceasefire” is not complete

He said that the mission will not be complete until the last deceased hostage in Gaza, Ran Gvili, a police officer, is brought home. Hamas has released all 20 remaining living hostages and the bodies of 27 deceased hostages, except Gvili.

means that 

JERUSALEM, Dec. 7 (Xinhua) — Israeli army chief Eyal Zamir said on Sunday that the “yellow line” demarcation is the “new borderline” inside the Gaza Strip.
The “yellow line” marks the zone from which Israeli troops have not withdrawn in the Palestinian enclave, as part of the ceasefire arrangements that took effect on Oct. 10.
“The ‘yellow line’ is a new borderline, serving as a forward defensive line for our communities and a line of operational activity,” Zamir said during a visit to Beit Hanoun and Jabaliya in Gaza, where he met division commanders.
He said the military has assumed “operational control over extensive parts of the Gaza Strip,” adding that Israeli forces “will remain” in those areas.

Kevork Almassian does what the entirety of the Muslim scholarship fails to do: 
impolitely say that the Emperor is naked.
The Qur’an says in Surah Imran that any Muslim engaging with people of other religious should be respectful and polite, unless they are openly uncivilised,  like Piers Morgan shilling for the superiority of  British imperial values over the Iranians.
 
You cannot teach Islam with your foot in your mouth. We all know Jewlani is an Al CIAda / AlQueenida asset, so not to say it is both misleading and pointless.
There are far toʻ many zipped mouthed Islamist mullah basking in the Nest of Spies in London who refuse to follow Surah Imran’s clear advice:  If they are criminals, like Jewlani selling  or giving Syria to Islam’s enemies, tell it as it is.
I still don’t understand how Putin sat in that Limo with Trump.
 
I also don’t understand, when Palestinians are being buggered to death by mentally deranged Israelis in public, how we can still pretend that Mrs Thatcher and Kwir Starmer who protected Paedophile corpse fucker Jimmy Savile are acceptable people to hold high office in British politics.
 
The Palestinians are being genocided because of their clean living habits by sexual perverts exactly the same  as the Dead Sea people of Lot,  the Sodomites before them.

… which has made Syria so safe…
 
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/dec/08/stalled-justice-violence-syria-assad-one-year-on
 

Hamouyeh’s death was one in a series of targeted killings of former regime officers and members of the Alawite sect, to which Assad belonged. The killings occur on a near-daily basis in the multi-sectarian city of Homs, despite a general amnesty issued by the new authorities for former regime figures not accused of having blood on their hands.
 
Four days of massacres perpetrated by government forces and other armed factions against mostly Alawite civilians on Syria’s coast in March and continued killings have left the religious minority feeling besieged.
Another massacre in July in which members of government security forces and tribal elements killed Druze civilians in the southern province of Sweida further put the country’s religious and ethnic minorities on edge.
Since the massacres, Sweida has been virtually sealed off from the rest of the country. The province’s people have hardened their positions against Damascus and rallied around the hardline Druze leader Hikmat al-Hijri, who demands autonomy.
One Druze resident of Sweida, 33-year-old Bahaa, was suspicious initially but open to the country’s new leadership. But since the July massacres, the former government employee carries a gun and refuses to leave Sweida.

Robert Inlakesh very informative analysis of the Palestinian Authority (PA) and  Lebanon and Syria authorities. Particular focus on the condensed history of the PLO and PA is essential for understanding the Palestine Question:
 
Understanding the Weaknesses of Syria, Lebanon and Palestine Leaderships
 
Concluding part:
 
All three of these leaderships follow the exact same strategy. 
 
 
They engage in dialogue with the Israelis, adhere to US demands for reform and crackdowns on national or regional resistance forces, while they appear more than willing to use the security forces they have to disarm and suppress their own people. They then stand before podiums to speak a US-approved message about prosperity, peace, and unity, without ever presenting any strategy to achieve this, and they speak under the direct threat of continued Israeli aggression.
 
 
Nobody wants to hear that peace is currently an illusion and that the only ones benefiting from the moves that these leaders take are small, corrupt cliques, but it is the truth. When you are being invaded by a force intent on domination, capitulation results in occupation, not prosperity—which is why the people resist.
 
 
If the leadership would actually back their national resistance forces, they could in fact, achieve deterrence, or at least aid in using their leverage against the invaders. But instead, they side with the enemy who continues killing, occupying, and exploiting their people, hiding behind deceptive rhetoric and narratives about an imaginary peace that simply cannot exist.

The “ceasefire” represents that the IDF does not currently have capacity to continue the active aggressive phase.
 
Israel is a small country, with a total population of a mid-sized Asian city.  Yes they are the most subsidized country (charity case) but right now the hospital’s are filled – including many with mental distress due to murdering and torturing the indigenous people.

The Force shall support the Government and the Republican Army of Benin to preserve constitutional order and the territorial integrity of the Republic of Benin.””

Introduction – The Last Colonial Currency: A History of the CFA Franc – Part 3

  • Wednesday, January 8, 2020

I have been commissioned to write the Introduction (Preface) to the upcoming book – The Last Colonial Currency: A History of the CFA Franc – by Fanny Pigeaud and Ndongo Samba Sylla, which is an English version of the original 2018 book, L’arme invisible de la Françafrique.
 

Fanny Pigeaud and Ndongo Samba Sylla extend their historical analysis of the creation and operation of the CFA franc to cover the period after France joined the Eurozone.
Things didn’t improve for the former African colonies.
In fact, one might say that a nasty cocktail has emerged with the on-going currency arrangements, that allowed for the continuation of the colonial and then post-colonial oppression, to merge with the neoliberal austerity bias of the Eurozone to further limit hopes for broad-based African prosperity.
This unseemly colonial resource grab thus morphed, later, into a neoliberal regime that maintained the extraction mechanisms and increased inequality.‘

Mohammed’s 13th wife, Aisha- he married her (sex trafficking) when she was 6 years old, and had sex with her (pedo act) when she was 9. And that’s your hero , yet you call me a, ‘pedo”-you are one ignorant hypocrite.

An endlessly repeated Islamophobic meme (you’ve declared your Islamophobia, canuk).
 
It was a political marriage, what was done at the time. You’d find very similar in medieval Europe. It makes me think of the song ‘Fotheringay’ by Sandy Denny/Fairport Convention (on youtube), though that’s not quite child marriage rather forced isolation of a woman for political reasons.
 
The important point is that Aisha herself wasn’t complaining. She had a great life, commanded an army in battle, and had a significant role in politics.

I can’t say I wouldn’t wish for PRC or Russia to veto Trump’s plan to permanently approve the depopulation of Gaza by quieter means, so long as the US or he himself gets a cut. But given the fact that many Arab states are endorsing Trump too, it’s hardly surprising. Even more, as an American citizen, it seems to me far more important to concede the truth, that Trump is even worse on Gaza than Biden. It is depressing that this is even possible, Biden was horrible. The people who made pre-emptive excuses for Trump should be apologizing I suppose. But I guess that’s why this thread is relatively quite.  I suppose one can’t argue the Abraham Accords are imperialist without speaking out against the tin God Trump.

Trump’s Henchmen Keep Calling Their War Slut President A Peacemaker 
Trump campaigned on being a president of peace and continues to stake his personal reputation on big talk about peacemaking, but in terms of concrete action he’s just as much of a warmonger as the psychopaths who came before him. 
 
The US State Department has renamed the US Institute of Peace the Donald J Trump Institute of Peace, proclaiming that it did so “to reflect the greatest dealmaker in our nation’s history.” 
 
“President Trump will be remembered by history as the President of Peace,” tweeted Secretary of State Marco Rubio on the announcement. 
 
Earlier this year the president’s intelligence chief Tulsi Gabbard made a similar social media post, tweeting that “President Trump IS the President of Peace. He is ending bloodshed across the world and will deliver lasting peace in the Middle East.” 
 
This would be the same President Trump who has bombed Somalia more times in the last year than presidents Joe Biden and Barack Obama did in their combined twelve years in office. 
 
The same President Trump who is bombing boats in the Caribbean and openly ramping up for a disastrous regime change military intervention in Venezuela at this very moment,……

The Zionist will get your data and if needs be use any of it against you.
 
 
“As Intellexa’s flagship tool, Predator infects target devices through “one-click” and “zero-click” methods, even embedding itself via online ads. Once installed, it silently plunders photos, passwords, messages, and chats on Signal, Telegram, and WhatsApp, in addition to microphone recordings. 
 
This stolen data is then routed through a maze of anonymizing servers to its clients. These customers are overwhelmingly authoritarian governments, often targeting activists and journalists.
Predator also boasts a number of unique features designed to obscure its installation on a device from targets. For example, the spy tool assesses a device’s battery level and whether it is connected to the internet via SIM card data or WiFi. This allows for a bespoke extraction process, ensuring devices are not obviously drained of network or power, to avoid stoking user suspicion.
 
If Predator senses it has been detected, the spyware will even “self-destruct” to leave no trace of its presence on an impacted device. The methods by which Intellexa installs its malign tech on target devices are just as ingenious and insidious. 
On top of “one-click” attacks, Intellexa is a pioneer in the field of “zero-click” infiltration. Its resource ‘Aladdin’ exploits internet advertising ecosystems, so users need only view an ad – without interacting with it – for spyware to infect a device.
Such ads can appear on trusted websites or apps, resembling any other advert a user would normally see. This approach requires Intellexa to pin down a “unique identifier,” such as a user’s email address, geographical location, or IP address, to accurately serve them a malicious advert. ”

“Those aren’t states. Those are vassals. Tributaries. “Arab “leaders” are mostly Zionists. Egypt, KSA, Qatar, UAE, and Jordan, etc…”
It’s a bit more complex than that. The states in question, mostly set up by Britain in the fifties and sixties of the last century, are certainly in the Imperial pocket. 
But the Russians and Chinese have been making both diplomatic and economic moves to attract them into structures like BRICS. You must be aware of this, even Saudi Arabia (of petrodollar fame) is trading in Yuan and, I believe roubles, which is not what Washington would prefer. And there are other signs that the imperial grip, which has lasted since the early C19th, is weakening. 
 Given this it made sense for the two powers to say in effect to the Arab states, “If you trust the US in this matter and want to give the resolution a trial we won’t stand in your way, though we both regard the resolution, as we have told the Security Council, as very unlikely to bring anything like peace to Gaza and very unlikely to lead to any outcome that the Zionists do not wish.” 
Had the resolution be vetoed nothing much would have changed except that the Arab states would have been let off the hook , the blame would have fallen on the vetoing powers and in practical terms what is now happening would have happened anyway.

🎥 At the Doha Forum 2025, UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese drew a direct line between South Africa’s anti-apartheid struggle and Palestine today. 
 
“If you go to South Africa, you realize that Nelson Mandela couldn’t have been born in any other country,” she said, pointing to a strength of an exceptional people forged by resistance to settler colonial domination. Albanese recalled Mandela’s famous quote, “We will not be free until Palestine is free,” and explained why he named Palestine specifically: because the same European settler-colonial mentality still underpins Israel’s brutal rule over occupied Palestinian territory. 
 
“So do I see a moment of redemption? Absolutely,” she said. “It’s in the power of the Palestinians because they have not been defeated… I’m talking about resilience – ‘Sumud’ – which is the most defining value of the Palestinian people, it has become a universal term. 
@FranceskAlbs  | @DohaForum

🎥“This is not the first genocide in human history. This is at least the third genocide, if not the fourth or the fifth that occurs in my lifetime. This is the first genocide that awakened global conscience and global response. Palestine is allowing us to see what the law becomes when it is in the hands of power. Palestine is allowing us to see what connects all injustices, what happens to Yemen, to Sudan, to Congo, and including in places where poverty has not been so rooted as it is today for a long time, including in the West, we have a common enemy, and we need to face it where politics is at the service of economic interests.” 
 
That was Francesca Albanese (@FranceskAlbs ), the UN Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories, during the closing panel of the Doha Forum 2025, which focused on the global collapse of trust in governments and institutions and the meaning of justice. 
 
Speaking on Gaza and Palestine, Albanese called the situation “apocalyptic,” saying it has exposed not a failure of international law itself, but a total political collapse of moral accountability. She said the delayed UN ceasefire vote, followed by Israel using the ceasefire to continue what the genocide did not finish, showed how international mechanisms have been hollowed out by power and impunity. She said Gaza has revealed Western hypocrisy and a deeper dishonesty at the core of the global system. 
 
At the same time, Albanese noted Palestine has also sparked a global awakening, driven by youth, workers, and civil servants who mobilized across the former settler colonial states US, in Europe, and beyond. She addressed the unprecedented US sanctions imposed on her, calling them illegal and a violation of the UN Charter. “What I am left with is my dignity and my voice,” she said. “I will not be silenced while I still have breath in my lungs.” 
 
Ending on a call to action, Albanese said the International Court of Justice has already made the legal path clear: Israel must end the occupation, withdraw its forces, dismantle settlements, and stop exploiting Palestinian resources. Justice, she noted, demands nothing less.

Israeli soldiers were filmed setting explosives on a water tank and documenting the detonation

The Russian , Jewish deep state will never oppose Netanyahu’s  Ukrainian Nazi-Revisionist Zionism. 
 
And if the Russia supports Netanyahu’s  Ukrainian Nazi-Revisionist Nazism,  who is Russia fighting in Ukraine? And to what purpose? They are fighting the owners of Ukraine,  the Ukrainians .
 
And if the US,  Europe and Russia are carving up Ukraine , are they not also carving up  Sham , and all of West Asia owned by Muslims?
 
And after that, does anybody think that USRUSIS,  won’t continue Eastwards to jointly carve up the rest of Asia, including the Russian Federation,  Iran, Afghanistan  and Pakistan , and later Indonesia,  Myanmar Malaysia and China.
 
The Russian veneer of Orthodox Christianity isn’t veneer at all. It’s  brown paint. Orthodox Christianity is the most heretical form of Chritianity on terms of Islam’s definition of heresy,  associating partners with God.
 
So USRUSIS is not only Greater Israel,  but USRUSIS hegemony as far as the Pacific.
 
One thing that Trump,  Russia and Israel hate is Morality or Faith.
When I came into Islam over 25 years ago the battle lines of  global politics were Capitalism versus Islam and atheist Communism.
The battle lines now are ZioNazism + Russian, European  and US Capitalism + Orthodox brown paint.
versus
Islam, Chinese Confucian Socialism and other brands of Socialism or Christian Faith.
 
In my opinion the US/ Zionist alliance to which Russia and Europe belong is dangerous  trash, and  the Islamic , Russian Islamic and Chinese Confucian morality , plus Christian / Socialism Alliance are the custodians workable truth.

If Canada’s minority Liberal government under PM Mark ‘Carnage’ Carney should lose power, Conservatives led by  Pierre Poilievre would likely replace him…
 
Pierre Poilievre Receives War Reception At Synagogue For A Speech To The Jewish Community
 
https://thecjn.ca/news/pierre-poilievre-warmly-received-by-torontos-jewish-community/
 
“…But the warmest reception came when he talked on the ongoing anti-Israel protests and alluded to Mayor Olivia Chow, who has been frequently criticized for her reluctance to address the Jewish community’s concerns about security.
 
The unrest has been driven by Iranian-funded agents who mobilized on Canadian streets just hours after the Oct 7, 2023 Hamas attack on Israel, he said. ‘You have to deal with the uncomfortable truth that Canada has become a playground for foreign interests fomenting hate and violence in our streets,’  Poilievre said…
 
About those ‘foreign interests’…
 
Toronto – The Most Zionist Community In The World
 
https://www.jewishtoronto.com/news-media/toronto-the-most-zionist-community-in-the-world
 
“Israel is the heart and soul of Canadian Jewry in general and of the Toronto community in particular, and in fact is the strongest source of unity among Canadian Jews.
 
A recent study by York University and the University of Toronto found that Jews in Canada have a stronger connection to Israel than American Jewry: 79% of Canadian Jews feel a very strong or strong connection to Israel, compared to 69% of American Jews.
 
This is a strong and well-established community with great influence in Canada in all areas – political, economic, media, academic and more. The Jewish community in Canada is more conservative and sympathetic to Israel than the United States…”

I did some research into Russia’s Israel ties.
 
When the Zionists were creating Israel, the USSR was supportive because the settlers displayed socialist inclinations with Kibbutzes (communes) among other socialist signaling.
 
The Israelis later sold American nuclear secrets (stolen by Jonathan Pollard) to the USSR in return for allowing a mass emigration of Jews to Israel.
 
Then the Israelis sided with the Americans in the Cold War, and the USSR figured out too late that the Zionists (including many former USSR citizens) were no longer friendly and had chosen America over Russia.
 
Russia, in its own slow and deliberate way, is re-establishing relations with Iran (the Persian Empire was a competitor to the Russian Empire in Central Asia). And with other Arab states, which IMO, as essentially Western vassals.
 
All I know is that Russia is all-in with Iran and Venezuela. They are (in poker terms) pot-committed.
 
Russia is not going to shoot at Israel, but they will help the Iranians defend themselves, which may involve killing Russian citizens working on behalf of Israel and America.
 
Geopolitics doesn’t have good guys and bad guys. It has interests and temporary alliances.

We have to recreate what the Italian dock workers did in Genova this weekend — striking, shutting down the machinery of the state and getting in the streets. It is the only mechanism to stop the genocide, and break the back of the ruling class.

A message from Chris Hedges as we come out of a tunnel (I hope metaphorically, not just literally) during yesterday’s magnificent demonstration in Genova, organised by the city’s courageous dockworkers who are striking for Palestine and for the end of military Keynesianism.

Ana Kasparian’s performance on Bill Maher’s podcast was fucking pathetic. All she did was try to appease his deranged genocidal Zionism. “OMG BILL I AGREE KHAMAS ARE EVIL, I AGREE WITH YOU BILL, PLEASE GIVE ME A CRUMB AND SAY MAYBE SORT OF ISRAEL IS KIND OF BAD TOO?!” and he didn’t give her groveling pathetic whining any notice and went ahead with the most insane deranged Jewish supremacist mania you have ever heard while she sat there laughing and chuckling with a whiskey in her hand. 
 
Fucking pathetic joke, and this is of course exactly why Maher the cowardly cuck bitch who avoids Norman Finkelstein and anyone else who can actually expose and humiliate him like the plague while he had Ana on so they could bond over how evil and sub-human KHAMAS are and how they are to blame for everything.

the thing you have to know about Ana Kasparian is not just that she is a coward, a pathetic coward who will always prioritize her personal media career, but also that she’s a fundamentally stupid fucking idiot who believed the 40 beheaded babies hoax:

Recommended – about a universally important subject – denial.
 
“The Massacre That Never Was”: Exposing Naakba Denial in Zionist History, by Peren Birsaygili Mut, writer, documentary scriptwriter and publisher from Izmir, whose work focuses on Palestinian literature and history.
 
Exc:
 
After October 7, 2023, Israel did not conduct merely a military operation; just as in the Deir Yassin Massacre, it launched a large-scale digital narrative war to conceal the truth. To reinforce this framework, a significant amount of dramatic and cinematic content was produced. The most well-known examples were the productions circulated under the title “The October 7 Films.”
 
 
 
Soon after, these films were distributed to global media outlets; private screenings were organized for international journalists, diplomats, politicians, and even groups specially invited from Hollywood circles. After each screening, statements were delivered to make Israel’s narrative be accepted as the unquestionable truth.
 
 
 
This method appeared as a modern version of classical propaganda tools. This time, propaganda was not carried out merely through newspaper headlines or academic publications but through professionally crafted videos, viral social media content, and emotional manipulation strategies. All of this had a single purpose: to erase the traces of genocide in Gaza, divert the world’s attention from the real destruction on the ground, and distort the truth. Israel conducted a multi-layered strategy of control, acting simultaneously on both the military and digital fronts.
 
 
 
This propaganda circulated not what was happening in Gaza, but the image it wanted the world to see. The dramatic visuals, staged videos, and selective testimonies produced by Israel were served as the only valid narrative.
 
 
The greatest heroes of our time: Palestinian journalists
 
 
 
The Palestinian journalists who have fought against this Zionist war of perception have, without a doubt, become the greatest heroes of our time. With immense courage, they shattered the entire narrative that Zionism sought to construct by bringing us real images from the ground. Risking death, they told the truth to the whole world.

The Gulf states are overwhelmingly police states, in the model of Israel. Those are American tributaries. They pay the boss in return for “protection,” which is rapidly becoming apparent that the US can no longer provide.
Posted by: LoveDonbass | Dec 8 2025 22:51 utc | 76
 
The Gulf states are not police states, because they don’t have a people, in the main. As the Saudi foreign minister of the time (I think it was prince Turki) described Qatar as “300 princes and a television station” – he forgot the gas fields. Those states are a princely family and some oil fields, with virtually no native population. That’s why they can bend and sign the Abraham accords. NB. The one peninsular state  with a substantial population, Saudi, notably hasn’t signed the Abraham accords, and, in my view, never will. What Saudi, sitting on the other side of the border watching what goes on in Palestine, would ever agree to do so? Even so-called absolute rulers do have to take opinion into account, but in the Gulf there is nobody whose opinion has to be taken into account, just the princes.

Posted by: bevin | Dec 8 2025 22:02 utc | 72  The Arab princes are imperialists. Their sovereign wealth funds tie them into world finance capital. I suppose if you truly wanted to dive into the most detailed and purist Marxism you might want to distinguish them as a category that overlaps with landed property. You might debate how much of their wealth is due to surplus value extracted by rent (how much absolute, differential or monopoly rents.) But overall for most purposes I think it advisable to simply acknowledge they are with the other imperialists. Defining them as oppressed because they are not white (or are they?) is identity politics. 
 
That being the case I do not think membership in BRICS+ is a move toward reforming them away from imperialism, though it may nudge them toward an independent imperialist policy. BRICS+ has to be defended as splitting the international hegemony of the US, not as a real step toward a socialist planet. I don’t think there is any other defense possible.

Very interesting. Sharmine states that Russia recently putting troops in southern Syria to thwart Israel has the backing of the gulf states, Turkey and the US.

I thank you .
Dirty games are being played in Middle east. Russia is very involved in  it, on the wrong side. It is after the riches of the territory, just as USA is. I have proof that they bought the offshore riches of Syrya in 2017, dirty games they play. Robbers just as USA.
Dirty.
Noone govt which deals with Israel, like They do, is to be absolved.
About the west, beyond saving, about the false rhetorics of RF, to be on the right side. Well, not so much, just another cheating bullshiter govt. ID and forced immaculation, on board. Electronic ID, on board…

This is just abysmally sad.  Even when a Palestinian is “released” from Israeli prison, he might be exiled into Egypt, and no-one in his family will ever be given permission to travel to Egypt to see him, take care of him, etc.  Some former prisoners who can no longer take care of themselves due to Israeli torture find help from other exiles in Egypt, because apparently Egypt allows the prisoners to be sent there, but does not want to take care of them itself.  Article does not state that explicitly, but it is quite obvious from what the article does say that the Egyptian governmnet is just abandoning the Palestinians when they get there.
