Why the US vetoed a Gaza Strip cease-fire
To understand the real reason the US vetoed the UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, I refer you to Saturday’s rare report in Yediot Ahronoth about the unprecedented numbers of casualties sustained by the Israel military… Continue reading

Gaza: the masks are off
By Sayed Hasan at resistancenews.org
As the genocide in Gaza resumes, it becomes ever more clear that the Operation “Al-Aqsa Flood”, launched by the Palestinian Resistance on October 7, and the events that followed, have not only destroyed the prestige of the Israeli army: they completely unmasked the hypocrisy of the West, who is not only… Continue reading

Where will Gazans go?
Where will the south Gazans go? Their homeland has been rendered uninhabitable. They continue to be bombed. They remain jailed in a tiny besieged land, without food, water, electricity, health care, sewage, or any basic services. Egypt continues to bar the border, and they wouldn’t leave anyway. Where will the Palestinians go? Will the world… Continue reading

Pentagon contractor Elon Musk and war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu had a conversation that they broadcast on Twitter during Musk’s apology pilgrimage to Israel in a desperate bid to salvage his public image amid costly accusations of antisemitism.

Gaza: a pause before the storm
By Pepe Escobar and first posted at The Cradle
While the world cries “Israeli genocide,” the Biden White House is gushing over the upcoming Gaza truce it helped broker, as though it’s actually “on the verge” of its “biggest diplomatic victory.”
Behind the self-congratulatory narratives, the US administration is not remotely “wary about Netanyahu’s endgame,” it fully endorses it -… Continue reading

Israel’s Biggest Enemy Isn’t Hamas… It’s Netanyahu
This is an overly optimist piece but still a valuable voice to present the “realist” flavor within the West. Iran and Palestinians will no longer acquiesce to disingenuous western games, such as the “two-state solution,” in order to reach a modus vivendi — especially after Al Aqsa Flood and subsequent genocide. They now work to… Continue reading

Endgames?
We are in a fairly intense discussion with myself having selected the best of the futurist options on Gaza and playing them out against one another. This is not to say who is right or who is wrong, but it is to attempt to meld ideas, see what makes sense, and of course, get the… Continue reading

PLA Strategist: The U.S. Uses Its Dollar to Dominate the World
[Editor’s Note: In April, Qiao Liang, a People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Major-General, gave a speech at a book study forum of the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP’s) Central Committee and government office.
