Marandi: Your guest also once said that the only thing that deters Palestinians who resist is if they know that their sister or mother will be raped. Kedar: This is a lie! I never said... Marandi: Piers, one of your producers can look it up right now...

The US response to my UN report fails to refute any of my legal findings that the US has murdered 244 civilians at sea. Instead it resorts to childish name-calling. I’m obviously not a terrorist sympathizer - but the US is committing extrajudicial killings ohchr.org/sites/default/file…

This clip right here is why many countries around the world hate the United States. It is absolutely baffling to me that someone could sit up on stage with a stupid grin and laugh about violating international law and pass it off as "we can do whatever we want because we Americans are exceptional" 🤦‍♂️ There is nothing exceptional about the United States. It is one of many great countries in the world. I could make arguments that Canada, China, Germany, Italy, Spain, Japan, Korea, Thailand, Australia, and many other are also "exceptional" in many metrics. So where is the United States "exceptional" here are a few metrics: - Obesity: We have one of the highest adult obesity rates among wealthy countries - Child poverty: We have one of the highest child-poverty rate among affluent nations - Healthcare spending: We spend substantially more per person on healthcare than any other wealthy countries, and yet are one of the most unhealthy nations - Incarceration: We rank near the top for the highest incarceration rates - Gun deaths: We have an exceptionally high firearm-death rate compared with other high-income countries. - Life expectancy: The U.S. trails many similarly wealthy nations despite spending the most on healthcare We also are a failing democracy with politicians who don't serve the people and only work to enrich themselves (no better example than Trump) We start useless wars across the globe and let foreigner countries (Israel) control and influence our foreign policy decisions. The best thing about the United States is the people and the diversity of our nation. But the US is failing more every day and our reputation has been destroyed on the world stage because of Trump and his idiotic policies The United States need to wake up. This clip exposes just how lost many Americans are

This ANZAC commemoration has nothing to do with Israel — the battle took place in Be’er Sheva in Palestine in 1917. Israel had not even been invented yet. Thirty-one years after the battle, the British handed their colony of Palestine over to a new European immigrant colony created by the UN to be known as Israel from 1948. Israel has stolen Palestinian land, now they try to steal their history.
This Saturday marks the 109th anniversary of the Battle of Beersheba, a pivotal military victory marked by the charge of the Australian Light Horse Brigade. The Embassy of Israel in Australia honours the bravery of the Australian soldiers who fought there and remembers those who lost their lives, many of whom were laid to rest at the Be’er Sheva ANZAC War Cemetery in Israel 🇮🇱🇦🇺 Lest We Forget.

It is often forgotten that the gene pool of the Palestinians and Southern Lebanese was that of the Apostolic First Century generation of Christians. Palestine was a Christian country longer than it was anything else. Contrary to Zionist propaganda, conversion to Islam took place due to Marmeluke taxation, and was often disingenuous. The persecution by the Zionists of the indigenous Christians has been far more extreme than that of "Muslim" convert Palestinians. A Christian population of 25% in the West Bank has been reduced to little more than 1% in the last 40 years due to brutal targeted attacks by Zionists on Christians and their holy sites.

In 1973 Israel shot down a civilian airliner. 108 people died. America refused to condemn the shooting. On 21 February 1973, a Libyan passenger plane flying to Cairo lost its way and entered Israeli-occupied Sinai. Israeli fighter jets intercepted the Boeing 727 and opened fire. The aircraft crashed. Of the 113 people aboard, only five survived. Israel maintained that its forces had mistakenly believed the aircraft was on a hostile mission. The International Civil Aviation Organization investigated and concluded there was no justification for shooting it down. Its governing council voted 27–0 to condemn Israel. The United States abstained. The victims were simply trying to get to Cairo.

Piers Morgan: What was it you were smirking about? Moser: I was actually laughing... A recently founded settler colony, Israel, which was founded in living memory... ranting at an Iranian, saying that his country is fake, Iran, one of the most ancient countries in the world.

While Washington and London were pushing against a couple dozen German divisions at best, the Red Army was grinding through 150 to 200. That is the math no one likes to talk about. About 80% of the Wehrmacht's losses came on the Eastern Front, fighting one country. The USSR carried the war on its back while the Western powers claimed the spotlight. Tell me again who actually broke the Wehrmacht.

A vote for @Jesswilsonmp is a vote for a genocide supporter who will put Zionist demands before every other Victorian. No supporter of the genocidal apartheid state of Israel should sit in any Australian parliament. Australians do not support the incineration of babies in tents.

Targeting Iran’s civilian infrastructure - power plants and petrochemical facilities - will both fail to bring about any of Trump’s goals and also trigger a response that will make life unsustainable for millions of people in West Asia.
Trump is reportedly planning to restart war with Iran after the election. Some of us have been briefed on the war plan. And while I cannot disclose any details, I can say this: the plan is insane. It will not achieve objectives and will set off a new cycle of escalation.

Saudi air strikes targeted a crowded Market in Northern Yemen today killing 14 innocent civilians. Where's the outcry + condemnation from the EU + Member States who care so much about Human Rights..? Do Yemeni lives, like Palestinian, matter less to Europe's Neo Colonialists...?

I have just won the first legal case in my journey to reclaim my life. Over the past three years I have paid a heavy price, away from the media spotlight—one that cost me my freedom, my safety, my voice, my career, my financial rights, and everything I built over 12 years—simply because I stood up at the UN and said, "Stop the genocide against our people in Gaza and Lebanon"—at a time when no one else dared to utter a single word. To give you a small example: I have been living away from my family for nearly a year, moving between three different residences and using three different vehicles, while adhering to numerous additional security measures recommended by the authorities. Although my voice has been censored here—simply because they do not want you to know what they have done to me through your own governments—if you were to learn what they are capable of doing to me, you would realize that they could do the very same thing to you as well. Your awakening would cost them their hegemony. Amidst all of this, I want to celebrate this victory—even if only with one of you. And I promise that the time will come to reveal everything and expose everyone.

Senator @ChrisMurphyCT, You have told the public that you were briefed on the plan to resume attacks on Iran, that you cannot share its details, and that "the plan is insane." You have said it will escalate the war, break international law and destroy America's commitment to the rule of law. Knowledge of that kind carries obligations. Public reporting points to what the plan holds. Israeli sources told ABC News the next strikes would target petrochemical facilities to erode Iran's economy. CNN reports US forces could strike within 96 hours of an order. In April your president promised that every bridge in Iran would be "decimated" and every power plant left "burning, exploding and never to be used again," and said he was "not worried" about war-crimes charges. You called that threat "a clear war crime." In July he told Fox News the United States would "knock out" all of Iran's power plants and bridges unless Tehran negotiated. The stated purpose was never military advantage but coercion: punish the population until its government yields. The UN called such attacks a very clear violation of international law. If the briefing showed the same intent, you are among the few Americans who "officially" know a war crime is being prepared. Secrecy does not bind you to silence about it. Executive Order 13526 forbids using classification to conceal violations of law; a stamp cannot convert complicity into a duty. The Speech or Debate Clause protects what you say in the Senate, as the Supreme Court confirmed in Gravel v. United States after Senator Gravel read the Pentagon Papers into the record. Senate Resolution 400 provides for disclosure over executive objection. Your oath runs to a Constitution that makes the Geneva Conventions the supreme law of the land, and their Common Article 1 requires every organ of the United States to ensure respect for them, the Senate included. The same duty reaches the chain of command. You said military leaders gave no sign of their private views. Make them state those views on the record: demand that the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and the CENTCOM commander say, in open session, whether each target passes the military-objective test. Remind them that a source of revenue is not a military objective, and that the "war-sustaining economy" theory behind such targeting is rejected by the ICRC and most states. Tell every service member that the UCMJ requires obedience only to lawful orders, that superior orders are no defense to a manifestly unlawful one, and that the War Crimes Act follows them for life. History will not ask whether the plan was classified. It will ask who knew, and what they did.

𝗨𝗞𝗥𝗔𝗜𝗡𝗜𝗔𝗡 𝗡𝗔𝗩𝗔𝗟 𝗗𝗥𝗢𝗡𝗘𝗦 𝗧𝗔𝗥𝗚𝗘𝗧 𝗧𝗛𝗘 “𝗦𝗛𝗔𝗗𝗢𝗪 𝗙𝗟𝗘𝗘𝗧” Out of the waves on the starboard side emerges a low, black boat. No cabin, no helmsman — just a flat hull and a post at the stern. Spray fans out behind it. It is heading straight for the ship’s side. The target is the Liberian-flagged container ship Contship Jet, on October 28, 39 kilometres off Cape Shabla, Bulgaria. Three strikes hit its starboard side, sparking a fire and causing a 20-degree list. Around two dozen containers went overboard. By midnight, the vessel had sunk. Bulgarian naval personnel rescued all crew members alive: 14 Filipinos and four Ukrainians. Officially, nobody knows whose boats they were. Let’s call them “goodwill naval drones”: unmanned, nameless and extremely determined. They also have a sense of humour. The strike came at precisely the hour when the defence ministers of Bulgaria, Romania and Turkey were meeting in Sofia to discuss Black Sea security. “While this meeting was taking place, a container ship was attacked by three drones in the neighbouring sea,” Bulgarian Defence Minister Dimitar Stoyanov told reporters. The ministers issued a statement condemning the attack. What else could they do? Bulgarian Navy chief Admiral Emil Eftimov identified the direction of approach: the drones came “from the east.” And in case anyone has forgotten, the sea lies east of Bulgaria. The navy could not open fire: it had no mandate beyond territorial waters, while the attackers had carefully avoided entering Bulgaria’s 12-mile territorial zone. Contship Jet is the fifth vessel to have been attacked in Bulgaria’s exclusive economic zone since the beginning of October. Plot the routes on a map, and the pattern no longer looks like coincidence. Alfa Watan was heading for Sulina, Romania. HS Dignity was bound for Braila. Chelsea 3 belongs to Ukrainians, is registered in Odessa and was heading to Moldova. Able, a frequent visitor to Odessa and Chernomorsk, was reportedly carrying grain. Sulina is the maritime gateway to the Danube. And the Danube provides a route to the Ukrainian ports of Izmail, Reni and Kiliya. After our strikes nearly brought the ports of Greater Odessa to a halt, the Danube’s share of Ukrainian port cargo turnover had risen to 74% by August. According to our military sources, these routes carry not only grain but also military cargo and fuel for the Ukrainian Armed Forces. A back door Kiev hoped to shield with NATO coastlines. Contship Jet was sailing from Haifa to Constanta, Romania’s main port, where Kiev and Bucharest recently simplified procedures for handling Ukrainian cargo. According to a list published by the Bulgarian maritime press, the ship’s containers held lithium-ion batteries, flammable liquids, acids and industrial components alongside food and construction materials. What else was inside the 421 containers may only be revealed by divers. @sashakots

These cunts have no critical thinking skills at all. On one hand, they claim that Russia struggles to "take over Ukraine", whilst believing that Russia is also has enough military personnel to invade Europe and Britain. Neither of these claims are true. Russia hasn't "invaded Ukraine" to conquer, rule and pillage. It's because the West wanted to park more NATO bases on the Russian border, using Ukraine as a battering ram to weaken Russia. This began in 2014 with a CIA-backed colour revolution in Ukraine, deposing the democratically elected leader and replacing him with one more useful to western imperialist expansion. Also, Russia has a total of 1.5 million military personnel. Hitler had 17 million, and still failed to successfully take Europe and other regions on a permanent basis. The west is dependent on fearmongering for our compliance, sustaining forever wars, and massive wealth transfers upwards.

They're actually copying Iran's Lego videos. Remarkable what Iran has managed to do against the global superpower: destroying US bases, downing scores of aircraft & now even seeing the US imitate its propaganda. Whatever else, the era of uncontested American dominance is over.
MAKING. AMERICA. GREAT. AGAIN.

Fox: Why are you here this morning? Trump rally attendee: Well, in the late 70s, I was a little too young to go to South America for the Jonestown Massacre. But this is as close as I'll ever get, so that's why I'm here. There's nothing like seeing a cult right up front.
