Propaganda Lies that Protect Israel’s Genocidal Maniacs | VT Foreign Policy January 24, 2024 VT Condemns the ETHNIC CLEANSING OF PALESTINIANS by USA/Israel $ 280 BILLION US TAXPAYER DOLLARS INVESTED since 1948 in US/Israeli Ethnic Cleansing and Occupation Operation; $ 150B direct "aid" and $ 130B in "Offense" contracts Source: Embassy of Israel, Washington, D.C. and US Department of State. Let’s straighten out some of the nonsense that’s spread by Israel’s network of stooges to make the apartheid regime’s crimes against humanity seem justified. Chief amongst them is the insistence that Israel has a right of self-defence against Hamas in Gaza. This is designed to bolster the Israeli narrative and give the regime diplomatic ‘cover’ to commit any crime it wishes in Gaza. But UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese warns that “Israel cannot claim self-defence against a threat that emanates from the territory it occupies”. Common sense should tell us that, nevertheless the lie is repeated ad nauseam by Israel’s sympathisers among our MPs and ministers at Westminster. Ask any of them exactly where in international law Israel is given such a fantastic right and you won’t get a proper answer. You might wonder why people at the heart of our democratic system are telling lies in order to promote the interests of a thoroughly nasty foreign power. There’s an elaborate ‘grooming’ programme whereby serving MPs and parliamentary candidates, on the recommendation of their political party’s Friends of Israel group, are taken on propaganda trips to Israel as guests of the Israeli government and come back suitably brainwashed. Never mind that this is a breach of their Code of Conduct and the Seven Principles of Public Life (Nolan Principles) which state that “holders of public office must avoid placing themselves under any obligation to people or organisations that might try inappropriately to influence them in their work”. Doesn’t such grooming amount to corruption? What we never hear from them is the Palestinians’ cast-iron right of self-defence against Israel. It doesn’t suit their purpose to tell us that UN Resolution 37/43 gives Palestinians an unquestionable right to resist Israeli aggression in their struggle for “liberation from colonial domination, apartheid and foreign occupation by all available means including armed struggle”. 37/43 also condemns “the constant and deliberate violations of the fundamental rights of the Palestinian people, as well as the expansionist activities of Israel in the Middle East, which constitute an obstacle to the achievement of self-determination and independence by the Palestinian people and a threat to peace and stability in the region”. So when Netanyahu rejects the idea of a Palestinian state and says all territory west of the Jordan River must be under Israeli security control, he collides head-on with international law. Furthermore, UN Resolution 3246 calls for all States to recognize the right to self-determination and independence for all peoples subjected to colonial and foreign domination and to assist them in their struggle. 3246 not only reaffirms the Palestinians’ right to use “all available means, including armed struggle”, but also demands full respect for the basic human rights of all individuals detained or imprisoned as a result of their struggle. And it requires strict respect for Article 5 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights under which no one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment. So where is the UK Government’s concern for the thousands of Palestinian prisoners, including women and children, held hostage in Israel’s jails before 7 October and the 6,000+ more abducted and imprisoned since then? And when did the UK Government ever “recognize the right to self-determination and independence” for Palestinians, who have been left to suffer foreign domination and alien subjugation for over 75 years, or “assist them in their struggle” as required? Palestinians should not have to negotiate their freedom and self-determination – it’s their basic right and doesn’t depend on anyone else, such as Israel or the US, agreeing to it. The UK disrespects that, otherwise we would long ago have recognised Palestinian statehood and been among the vast majority of nations that have already done so. Legal opinion (Wilde) has it that when 138 of the world’s states at the UN General Assembly voted in 2012 to re-designate Palestine’s status from ‘non-member Entity’ to ‘non-member State’, this had the effect of establishing statehood. Britain’s refusal to recognise Palestine is a disgrace. We promised the Palestinian Arabs independence back in 1915 in return for their help in defeating the Turks but reneged in 1917 (in favour of the shameful Balfour Declaration). We should have granted Palestine provisional independence in 1923 in accordance with our responsibilities under the League of Nations Mandate Agreement, but didn’t. In 1947 the UN Partition Plan allocated the Palestinians a measly portion of their own homeland and, without consulting them, handed the lion’s share to incomer Jews with no ancestral connection to it… thanks in large part to the Balfour stitch-up. The following year Britain walked away from its mandate responsibilities leaving Palestinians at the mercy of Israel’s vicious plan for annexing the Holy Land by military force – “from the river to the sea” – which they’ve pursued relentlessly ever since in defiance of international and humanitarian law, bringing terror, misery, wholesale destruction and ruination to the Palestinians. And now genocide. The UK Government recognised Israeli statehood quickly enough in 1949 when Zionist gangs had already carried out several massacres and shown their terrorist hand, trashing 500 Palestinian towns and villages and driving 700,000 civilians out of their homeland. But we have cruelly rejected pleas for Palestinian recognition right up to the present day. Ours is a long history of betrayal. How can we claim to be brokers for peace when we’ve consistently worked against peace? The same goes for the US. It has to be said that Hamas, however we may feel about them, are the chosen and legitimate government in Gaza after winning fair and square the last election in 2006. Their 2017 Charter is reasonably in tune with international law while the Israeli government pursues policies that definitely are not. So, knowing Palestine’s right to assert its freedom and self-determination, and its right to use armed resistance against Israel’s endless military occupation, why did Britain proscribe Hamas’s political wing as a terrorist organisation? And what gives the UK and the US the right to encourage and assist Israel in bringing about coercive regime-change in Gaza and preventing Palestinians choosing their own government? Hamas Gaza Chief Yahya Al-Sinwar (R), Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh (L) during a memorial service for Fuqaha, in Gaza City March 27, 2017. R Branding Hamas a terrorist organisation was indeed a propaganda masterstroke. It has allowed the Zionists and other pro-Israel elements within our Government to avoid having to explain Israel’s far greater terror record, and instead focus hatred on Hamas. So stories about atrocities committed by Hamas when they ‘broke out’ and went on the rampage on 7 October were eagerly absorbed and repeated by Western politicians and media even though the Israelis still haven’t been able to substantiate their claims about rape and beheaded babies. The Israeli newspaper Haaretz interviewed the Israeli army’s “ethics” chief about two major incidents that day – the order by an Israeli commander to a tank to open fire on an Israeli home knowing there were 14 Israeli civilians inside, and Israeli helicopters firing missiles at dozens of cars carrying Israeli hostages, killing them. The official narrative blamed Hamas for these “barbaric” acts which were then used to justify Israel’s frenzied onslaught against Gaza’s civilians. However Jonathan Cook, a prize-winning journalist writing from Nazareth, reports that Haaretz and the army’s ethics chief both ascribe these self-inflicted casualties to Israel’s Hannibal Directive, a classified policy requiring soldiers to prevent Israelis being taken hostage at all costs. Cook concludes that Western media outlets are deliberately hiding the truth about this story “because it directly conflicts with the West’s ideological and strategic agenda” while the Israeli media are full of it. What now? Just to show how ridiculous our Establishment has now become in its eagerness to carry on shielding Israel, a man has appeared in court charged with wearing a green headband with writing on it said to arouse “reasonable suspicion” that he supports Hamas. The writing is the ‘Shahada’, a declaration of faith stating that there is only one God (Allah) and that Muhammad is the messenger of God. Only a lunatic would try to make a criminal case out of it. Sadly, there’s no shortage of lunatics these days among our ruling elite. And according to Reuters US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken says in all seriousness that what’s needed to resolve the situation is a Palestinian state with a government structure “that gives people what they want and works with Israel to be effective”. So the Palestinians must co-operate with a neighbour that has for decades committed horrendous atrocities against the Palestinian people culminating in all-out genocide? And whose stated ambition is to rob the Palestinians of their entire homeland? Of course, Palestinians would be wise to work with a comprehensively reformed Israel, if such a thing is possible, when it has finally convinced the world it is committed to international and humanitarian law and worthy of being called ‘friend’. But not until then. In the meantime we have the depraved sadist, Netanyahu, insisting that when he’s done with committing genocide Israel’s security needs will leave ‘no space’ for a Palestinian state …. as if only Israel is entitled to security. Israel’s supporters have tried to persuade us that all this unpleasantness began when Hamas broke out of Gaza and caused havoc among the Israeli population nearby. But, as everyone and his dog knows, Israelis have been terrorising, slaughtering, ethnically cleansing, land-grabbing, and showing utter contempt for international law and United Nations resolutions ever since (and even before) they declared statehood nearly 76 years ago. For them, committing war crimes is routine. It began with the massacres by Zionist terror gangs at the King David Hotel, Deir Yassin, Lydda and elsewhere; and all are well documented. Yet Israel has been blessed with impunity throughout that time and now ‘escalates’ its savagery to the level of wholesale genocide. Is the international community still not sufficiently sickened to end its protection and instead proscribe the rogue regime as a terrorist state? What can we the public do? That’s where BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions) comes in. This non-violent movement has been building over the years. It is now poised to become civil society’s devastating economic weapon for bringing Israel and its supporters to heel if the international community doesn’t do its job. And what happens to politicians who lie? In short, nothing. That is the conclusion of one of the most depressing articles I’ve read in a long time. We hear it said repeatedly that misleading Parliament is a serious matter. But, as Dr Alice Lilley from the Institute of Government says, “The convention has always been that ministers who mislead Parliament are expected to resign, and this is set out in the Ministerial Code. But enforcing this convention is more complicated. “It is ultimately up to the prime minister to decide what happens to ministers judged to have broken the Code. And Parliament has very few powers to punish a minister for misleading it.” So codes of conduct which mention honesty, like the Nolan Principles and the Ministerial Code, are only voluntary, the assumption being that politicians will choose to behave honourably. But in recent years we’ve been cursed with ministers – and even prime ministers – to whom honour, truthfulness and integrity are alien concepts. The sad fact is, there are few sanctions in place for dealing with those who defy the conventions. So self-regulation falls down and Parliament goes to the dogs. Again, it’s up to civil society to take over and name and shame these undesirables.

The life of (my) life, soul of my soul I have been calling my daughter what translates from Hebrew as "the life of life" or "love of love" for some years now; this is a modern, Israeli take of an Arabic use of language. I grew up in a very Zionist place and time. But I was lucky enough to grow among Mizrahi, Arab Jews; both my father and my beloved uncle spoke Arabic as their first language, and the two, childhood friends, marries two sisters, my mom ant aunt, born in Morocco to Jewish parents. Arab music was part of the soundtrack of my childhood, and from a young age I knew the names and would recognize the voices of legends such as Farid al-Atrash, Abdel Halim Hafez, Warda, Umm Kulthum, Fairuz and others. My father would also take me with him to work occacionally (he was am aluminum worker in construction), and his teammate Isaa, an Arab from Nazareth, was almost a family friend. We all knew him, and loved and welcomed him whoever we would meet. I never forgot how one cold winter morning, when I tagged along with my father on a work day, Issa's wife made us coffee and tea, accompanied by sweet, delicious sugar powder-covered cookies, as they wouldn't let us just pick Issa up and go (I certainly can't speak for all Arabs homes but I know enough to say with confidence that you don't just pass through an Arab home: you sit and have coffee and eat something and have some small talk. Arabs Jews are also similar in that regard). Like many second and 3rd generation Mizrahi Jews, I can't speak Arabic, but I pick up quite a lot of it, and the musicality of the language always sounds a little like home to me. fortunate to have been exposed to Arabs, Jews and just Arabs, from a young age, I was never intimidated by anything Arab. On the contrary: I grew immensely fond of the gentleness, the warmth of heart, the humor, the special sweetness of an Arab street, store or home. In later years, I was lamenting the forced disconnect between me and my Arab roots created by Israel's paranoid mentality. Like many other Arab Jews of my generation I was not an Arab anymore, but not really an Israeli as well to this day I am not sure what being Israeli means, really, apart from a negation of Jewish experiences and denial of current realities). Israeli, just like American or English, connotes whiteness. And white we Mizrahi Jews are not, nor will we ever be. Unlike many Mizrahi Jews, I refused to become an empty shell, filled only with the ideological content of the state: A de-Arabized Arab Jew. That I wouldn't be. I chose to be free instead. - When I heard of the way Nur's grandfather, Khaled, called her, and how similar it was to the way I call my daughter, and when I see the suffering, wounds, burns, pain and death of Gaza's children, the memory and consciousness of me and my roots, both known and simply genetic, springs to life immediately, undeniable and bare. These kids are not foreign or alien to me. They are me and mine, too. I feel their pain and fear, I understand the terms of endearment and the farewells of their grief-stricken parents, even as I really understand but a few words here and there. My soul understands Arabic is the way I'd put it. Zionism's message of fear, hate and suspicion towards Arabs and Palestinians is totally and forever lost on me, and I consider it a personal triumph. I will never hate Arab people. And I ache the terrible dehumanization of Arab people, societies and communities that have so much beauty, gentleness and love in them. The world will know the truth. I am sure of that, and I will do whatever I can to help bring this day about, which is why I write this. (and that's me and my daughter) https://twitter.com/alon_mizrahi/status/1748387894685835663?t=Q08CrljUjSZCMXaiGa2rpg&s=19

Royal Society of Arts Expelled Me for Telling the Truth Rhoda WilsonJanuary 18, 2024 On 15 February 2021, BBC Panorama aired a “hit job” on several prominent doctors and scientists who had the integrity to speak out against the covid agenda. The title of the programme was ‘Vaccines: The Disinformation War’. BBC’s reporter for the programme was none other than disinformation agent Marianna Spring. Because of this BBC documentary, Dr. Coleman was expelled from the Royal Society of Arts (“RSA”) for his “views and his involvement in the BBC Panorama programme,” despite the BBC not asking for his consent to be “involved” with the programme and that ‘Vaccines: The Disinformation War’ has been widely recognised as trashy and dishonest. Dr. Coleman responded to the BBC’s programme in two articles which he published on his website vernoncoleman.org. The website is no longer available but copies have been archived on the Wayback Machine website. The articles referred to can be found HERE and HERE. In the first article published in May 2021, Dr. Coleman said: “The BBC’s Panorama programme is now rightly regarded as trashy and dishonest for forging documents. But Panorama’s trickery involving Princess Diana was trivial and insignificant compared to the way it has supported the Government’s covid fraud and helped promote a fraud which has already resulted in many thousands of deaths.” On 20 February 2021, Oracle Films and Covileaks responded to the Panorama programme by releasing the second of their series ‘Ask the Experts’. The first Ask the Experts was released on 7 December 2020 and was banned by Facebook and YouTube within two days. You can watch ‘Ask the Experts (Covid-19 Vaccine)’ on Odysee HERE. As one of the doctors who had been included, without his consent, in the BBC Panorama programme, Dr. Coleman contributed to the second part of Ask the Experts titled ‘Ask the Experts II (We will not be silenced)’. In Oracle Films’ documentary, Dr. Coleman said: “The BBC’s official policy is not to allow any discussion or debate about vaccination. Instead, they accept as gospel anything the Government, the regulators and the drug companies tell them. Those who question any aspect of the Government line are banned.” You can watch Ask the Experts (We Will Not Be Silenced) on Odysee HERE. Below, Dr. Coleman describes just one of the impacts of BBC’s nefarious programme.

Subscribe now to make sure you receive the latest uncensored news in your inbox… Royal Society of Arts Expelled Me for Telling the Truth By Dr. Vernon Coleman I used to be a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts but the RSA expelled me without a hearing or a debate or a chance to properly defend myself. They expelled me for daring to tell the truth about covid, for being “mugged” by BBC television and for daring to question the global warming myth. (The RSA said they were expelling me because “of my views and my involvement in the BBC panorama programme.” That’s what they said. This seemed to me to be a bit like arresting someone because they’d been mugged. I was never invited to appear on the programme they mentioned which was, inevitably, a one-sided “hit job,” criticising those of us who were daring to tell the (provable) truth. The RSA didn’t seem concerned that the BBC boasts that it won’t ever give airtime to those questioning vaccination “whether they’re right or wrong.”) Everything I said and wrote was factually accurate and, as it becomes ever clearer that everything I predicted is coming to pass, I wonder sometimes if they feel just a little embarrassed. Even if I had been wrong, what sort of organisation expels one fellow because one or two other fellows don’t agree with something they have said? (Does everyone in the RSA have to agree with one another? If so, who makes the rules and why don’t they publish their manifesto of acceptable beliefs? Or is freedom of speech a commodity only allowed to a special few?) My expulsion from the RSA was, at the time, rather a low point. We both thought about death and suicide as the injustices mounted. The endless unjustified abuse made it difficult for me to leave the house or to meet people and made us both seriously depressed. My wife is the kindest person I’ve ever met. In Paris, I once saw her run across to a woman rummaging for food in a rubbish bin. Antoinette didn’t just give the woman some money – she gave her all the money in her purse. All of it. I have known her to do that many times. She doesn’t give coins to beggars or street buskers – she gives them currency notes. I will never forgive the RSA because their mindless, censorious cruelty helped depress us both. It was, in some ways, a low point. Antoinette was also a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts. She resigned the day I was expelled. The lack of debate and fairness has been commonplace throughout the years since early 2020. None of the politicians, journalists, doctors, broadcasters promoting the official line has ever been prepared to debate their beliefs. That is their strength, because it means that they can say and do whatever they like. But it is also their weakness because it means that anyone who is thoughtful and fair-minded must want to ask the question: Why have these subjects never been debated? The above is taken from Vernon Coleman’s new book `Truth Teller: The Price’. You can purchase a copy via the Bookshop on http://www.vernoncoleman.com Just go to the section dealing with Covid and the Great Reset. Note that this book, which explores the covid fraud and other trickery, and describes how Vernon Coleman has, for several years now, been regularly banned and censored, is itself already banned in some countries. Dr. Coleman has made over 300 videos, written a number of books and written over 1,000 articles in the last three years. Despite many attempts the fact checkers have failed to find any errors in any of his work. A copy of this book was sent to the Royal Society of Arts. They have not responded.

New DNC Pipe-Bomb Video Can "Utterly Demolish The Jan6 Narrative": Darren Beattie "If the Republicans step up, if the speaker steps up, if the relevant congressional figures step up, this is the chance to utterly demolish the January 6th narrative that the regime is using to weaponize the national security state against the American people, and to take Trump off the ballot." Having acquitted himself extremely well (and calmly) during the ZeroHedge Debate on January 6th, Darren Beattie brandished his considerable tome of facts to discuss with Tucker Carlson the impact of newly-released footage surrounding the pipe-bomb incidents of January 6th (well 5th). Carlson begins by quite appropriately pointing out the fact that the FBI's ongoing efforts to apprehend those involved (or not) in the Capitol riot contrasts greatly with their apparent inability to identify the person responsible for the pipe bombs: "The FBI wants you to know that if you were there, you can't hide," highlighting the extensive use of surveillance technology in these efforts. Except if you hide in plain sight... Beattie's analysis of the discovery of the DNC pipe bomb, published on Jan. 18 by Revolver.news raises questions about the authorities' response to the bomb at the DNC. The video shows a man (circled in red in the photo below) - now identified by congressional investigators as an undercover US Capitol Police officer - approached an SUV owned by the Metropolitan Police Department just after 1:05 p.m. on Jan. 6. Then he walked to an adjacent dark SUV belonging to the Secret Service and spoke to someone in the driver’s seat, Revolver reported. The vehicle was parked in a driveway of the DNC building at the intersection of Canal Street Southeast and South Capitol Street Southeast in Washington D.C. But, as Beattie points out, their response is described as "utterly unconcerned." "What the individual in the backpack is doing is alerting the Metro PD and the Secret Service of the fact that there is a pipe bomb just feet away," underlining the lack of urgency in their actions. As Joseph Hanneman details, the undercover officer walked off camera back toward the park bench and the bomb at 1:06:34 p.m., the video shows. Two occupants of the MPD vehicle exited the SUV at 1:07:25, and a third emerged 35 seconds later. The driver went back into the vehicle to retrieve a COVID mask. The first indication on Capitol Police radio dispatch that the DNC bomb had been discovered came at 1:07 p.m., according to audio files obtained by The Epoch Times. “987-Adam, I’m going to declare a 10-100 at the DNC as well,” an officer broadcast on the OPS2 radio channel. “Similar device as was found at the RNC as well. Advising the units on scene what’s going on.” At 1:09 p.m., the security camera pivoted and zoomed in on the bench, indicating that the U.S. Capitol Police Command Center was aware of the bomb. In fact, it took more than two minutes for the Secret Service detail protecting Vice President-elect Kamala Harris to visibly react to the presence of the bomb. Ms. Harris was inside the DNC building at the time the bomb was discovered. A group of children were allowed to walk near the bench where the bomb sat after the undercover officer discovered the device, Revolver reported. Children walk past the Democratic National Committee and a pipe bomb (location marked with a circle) found minutes earlier by a Capitol Police undercover officer. (U.S. Capitol Police/Graphic by The Epoch Times) In the nearly seven minutes after the undercover officer approached the Secret Service detail, the streets were not closed, the sidewalks were not cordoned off, and pedestrians were allowed to walk right past the bomb location, security video shows. Agents walked back and forth on the driveway and sidewalk near the bomb, and one officer walked close enough to snap a photo of the device before waving at the other officers. The FBI later determined the bomb was planted the night of Jan. 5, along with a similar device left in an alley near the Republican National Committee, which is where the conversation between Carlson and Beattie goes next. Beattie mentions that the bomb was found by a pedestrian, Karlyn Younger, in a back alley with a timer set to go off at 1 p.m., coinciding with the certification of the electoral vote, raising questions about the intent and timing of the bomb placements: "We're told that the RNC bomb was sitting behind a trash can in a back alley, undiscovered for over 16 hours, and yet was randomly stumbled on." Beattie then discusses the characteristics of the bombs, noting that they were not designed for remote detonation, suggesting they were not intended to explode but rather serve as a diversion. He also questions how the discoverers of the bombs could be so accurately timed, noting: "The person who planted the bombs presumably would have had to count or just simply be the luckiest person alive." In conclusion, Beattie and Carlson discuss the political implications of the January 6th narrative and the lack of thorough investigation into the pipe bombs. As we started with at the top of this note, Beattie emphasizes the importance of challenging the official narrative, particularly in the context of the upcoming 2024 election.

Biden became ‘Genocide Joe’ thanks to the Israel lobby Philip WeissNovember 29, 2023 Netanyahu and Biden meet, July 14, 2022. Photo by Israeli government press office. Netanyahu and Biden meet, July 14, 2022. Photo by Israeli government press office. At Thanksgiving, a friend took me aside and said, “How does Israel get away with this? They are wiping these people out, you can see it before your eyes. But people here are losing their jobs if they say anything against it on social media. Health care workers have lost their jobs at hospitals.” My friend is not alone. The upside of our government’s greenlight to Israel’s unending massacre and destruction in Gaza, with disease and famine looming, is that many are asking the same questions. Why is Joe Biden incapable of doing what any decent person would do, and any leader—of saying, Stop this madness now! An overwhelming majority of countries in the region and world have condemned the brutal military offensive– what BBC describes as “apocalyptic,” and one high UN official says is “the worst” destruction he’s ever seen. (“They stopped counting the number of women and children killed.. . It’s complete and utter carnage.”) And the progressive Democratic base is appalled. And there have been resignations at the State Department and at mainstream media. Even as Israelis regularly appear on our broadcasts, thanking Biden for his unwavering support. The answer to this puzzle is that Biden fears the domestic political cost: the loss of the Israel lobby inside the Democratic Party. Biden fears the disaffection of the Jewish establishment that has for over 50 years dedicated itself to the principle that there must be no daylight between the U.S. and Israeli governments, even as war crimes are blasted over the airwaves. This dynamic is rarely discussed in our media because it is thought to foster antisemitic theories of Jewish control. Even addressing the Israel lobby is labeled a conspiracy theory with lawless consequences — such as the reported vandalism of the Los Angeles home of the head of the Israel lobby group AIPAC, with red paint flung on his property as protesters shouted, Baby killer. There is plenty of evidence for the idea that the lobby’s support is what weighs on Biden’s mind. Jews are an important part of Biden’s Democratic base. 70 percent of Jews say they are Democrats. And the Jewish community appears to be overwhelmingly supportive of Israel, just as it was during other historical crises– with notable and honorable exceptions. We are “working around the clock to bring urgent relief to the people of Israel,” the Jewish Federations announces in its regular ad on WNYC, the NPR station I listen to. The dissent of liberal Zionists is over – J Street is back with the rightwing pro-Israel groups in backing Israel’s “right to defend itself” and in opposing a ceasefire. Zionists are flexing their political muscle in plain sight. AIPAC is said to be planning a multi-million-dollar offensive to pick off Squad members in Congress who have been critical of Israel. A progressive senatorial candidate in Michigan has reportedly been offered $20 million in campaign contributions from a former AIPAC donor to drop his bid and take on Rep. Rashida Tlaib instead. Big donors have withdrawn gifts from universities or threatened to do so in anger over anti-Zionist demonstrations and faculty statements. One Forbes headline said a “Jewish billionaire” was pulling his money from Columbia; and craven remarks equating anti-Zionism with antisemitism from Harvard’s president and Columbia’s too appear to be responses to donor pressure. Columbia’s banning of pro-Palestinian groups has the backing of the president and former president and has sent chills through the academic community. The media are under similar top-down pressure from Israel supporters. “We are horrified and deeply saddened by the brutal attack on Israel,” the chairman of Comcast/MSNBC (who once participated in the Israeli Maccabee games) said last month, even as Israel was already pounding the Gaza Strip. The CEO of Warner/CNN, David Zaslav, also issued a statement of support for Israel after it experienced “one of the deadliest [days] in Jewish history since the Holocaust.” Later Zaslav was reported to be considering taking part in a $50 million publicity campaign to “define Hamas to the American people as a terrorist organization.” CNN’s coverage has been distinctly pro-Israel, as has MSNBC’s. While both networks have aired reports that portray the Palestinian nightmare of the last seven weeks, generally the coverage has been from the Israeli point of view, often with a propaganda-like tone. Israeli government spokespeople are frequent guests, and the Zionist ideology is happily ensconced throughout liberal media. Wolf Blitzer once worked for AIPAC; the Atlantic’s editor once was an Israeli prison guard; and Tom Friedman told a Jewish audience in 2021 that “Israel had me at hello,” and “Don’t worry. In times of crisis, I know where I will be. When the Jewish state is under threat.” Joe Scarborough regularly equates anti-Zionism with antisemitism. Our official political culture is Zionist. Joe Biden calls himself a Zionist. Last summer House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries took 22 first-year Democratic congresspeople on a tour of Israel and stood at Netanyahu’s side, alongside the head of AIPAC (whose house is the target of demonstrations). Biden and Jeffries are surely concerned about Democratic fundraising. Israel supporters use campaign contributions to make sure that the policy debate in the U.S. “remains extremely narrow,” as Nathan Thrall wrote in the New York Times in 2019. “Despite pointed critiques of American support for Israel by representatives like Betty McCollum of Minnesota, [Rashida] Tlaib and [Ilhan] Omar, there is little willingness among Democrats to argue publicly for substantially changing longstanding policy toward Israel,” Thrall said. “In part, some Hill staff members and former White House officials say, this is because of the influence of megadonors: Of the dozens of personal checks greater than $500,000 made out to the largest PAC for Democrats in 2018, the Senate Majority PAC, around three-fourths were written by Jewish donors. This provides fodder for anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, and for some, it is the elephant in the room. Though the number of Jewish donors known to prioritize pro-Israel policies above all other issues is small, there are few if any pushing in the opposite direction.” Yes, it’s about “Jewish donors.” At J Street in 2016 political experts described the “gigantic” and “shocking” magnitude of Jewish donors in Democratic Party campaigns– who are perceived to be pro-Israel. A former finance director for many Democratic congressional campaigns said she had always gone to AIPAC for a position paper on Israel before undertaking to raise money from the Jewish community. To understand what Joe Biden is thinking, it is worth reviewing presidential history, to remind ourselves how significant the Israel lobby is as a force. A few key moments: –Truman overrode his own State Department and his own opposition to the idea of a religious state to back Israel’s establishment and then turn a blind eye to its expansions. John Judis wrote in his history, “Genesis,” that Truman did so because he needed $100,000 from political donors Abe Feinberg and Ed Kaufmann – a huge sum in 1948–for a whistlestop campaign trip through the midwest when his campaign was broke and Thomas Dewey was threatening to make him a one-termer. –Both Jimmy Carter and George H.W. Bush lost their bids for a second term in the White House, and it is said that both politicians saw the Israel lobby as a factor in those losses. Carter repeatedly challenged Israel over its settlements and believed that taking on Israel and its American lobby cost him his job. “From the New York primary [in March 1980] onward, I believe Carter was left with the view that New York Jews had not only defeated him in the primary but were also a factor in his loss in November,” Carter aide Stuart Eizenstat writes. Bush also hammered Israel over settlements, “because I think this is what the American people want,” he said. But Bill Clinton ran to Bush’s right in 1992 with the support of the Israel lobby and defeated him. Tom Friedman summarized the lesson: “President Bush the first stood outside the White House one day and said I’m one lonely man standing up against the Israel lobby. What happened as a result of that… is that Republicans post Bush I, and manifested most in his son Bush 2, took a strategic decision, they will never be out pro-Israel’d again. That they believe cost them electorally a lot.” –Obama made the same calculation. His need for the endorsement of Haim Saban and other “major Jewish donors” caused him to give in on Israel’s unending landgrabs, Judis writes. And Obama aide Ben Rhodes confirms that view. When Obama and Netanyahu clashed the year before Obama’s reelection campaign, Rhodes had to call “a list of leading Jewish donors . . . to reassure them of Obama’s pro-Israel bona fides.” Obama waited for his second term to take Israel on over the Iran deal in 2015. In a major speech, he said that Israel was the only country in the world that opposed the deal. And while Benjamin Netanyahu is completely “sincere” in his opposition, Obama said, “As president of the United States, it would be an abrogation of my constitutional duty” to defer to Israel’s wishes on this matter. –Trump of course abrogated his duty. He did whatever Israel wanted including trashing the Iran deal and moving the embassy and seeking to legalize illegal settlements – all to maintain the support of his largest donor Sheldon Adelson, who gave 100s of millions to Republicans. This is the history that counts for Joe Biden. He is going to go by the playbook that has evolved over his lifetime — regardless of the growing sympathy for Palestinians in the Democratic base that is evident in poll after poll. The good thing about today’s crisis is that the lobby’s influence is naked. “Sleepy Joe has a new nickname– Genocide Joe,” cracked another friend at Thanksgiving. It is impossible to imagine Biden ignoring the world’s calls for ceasefire or his own base’s outrage over the images of slaughtered Palestinian families and children – impossible to imagine that without the influence of the organized Jewish community, which patently does not care about these victims, or when it does mention them says that Hamas is to blame. Another good effect of this crisis is that it has provided a different picture of the Jewish community from blind support for Israel: the vigorous opposition to Israel’s militarism among young and progressive Jews. Witness the incredible cease-fire demonstrations organized by IfNotNow and Jewish Voice for Peace. The growth of anti-Zionism will transform (and redeem) the Jewish community. And be a major factor in transforming U.S. policy, as well. Before you go – we need your support At Mondoweiss, we understand the power of telling Palestinian stories.

Today i will be exposing the Virgin Anarcho Capitalist VS the Chad Anarcho Communist Meme here: https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/1331942-virgin-vs-chad. Lets start with the Virgin Anarcho Capitalist. #1. The Virgin Anarcho Capitalist wants Corporations deregulated according to the Marxist that wrote this. Answer: Corporations are Organs of the state and are collectively owned not individually owned. Corporations are Syndicates, and as I've mentioned before the Soviet Union called them Syndicates and the Italian Fascist called their Syndicates Corporations. Corporations are Marxist Fascist Socialist Organization. They have nothing at all to do with Capitalism nor a free market. #2. The Virgin Anarcho Capitalist comes from an incredibly wealthy family according to the Marxist that wrote this. Answer: I would actually argue that Those of the Public Sector State Hierarchy Controlling the means of production are the extremely wealthy socialist group. There aren't to many rich Capitalist as those of the Private Sector are having their wealth siphoned away by the State. But not only that, they are also having their businesses crushed by the State and considered none essential as what happened with the Covid lie. The State, through the Covid lie attempted to crush competition, thus they attempted to crush Capitalism which is private individual control of his/her own economy. Through Taxations our wealth is being redistributed to the Giant Corporations which are funded by the State giving these Corporation a huge advantage over Private Individually owned businesses. With all of the Government funding Corporations receive, they have no problem paying employees 20 dollars per hour minimum wage. Price control and minimum wage only affect the small privately owned businesses, not the Giants the Public Sector State Hierarchy supports. #3. The Anarcho Capitalist Virgin always wears suits with bow ties according to the Marxist that wrote this. Answer: Actually, it is the Socialist thugs of the Mainstream Media and those that have collective shareholder ownership of the of the means of production in the Stock Exchange Socialist Market who wear suits with bow ties. #4. According to this Marxist, the Anarcho Capitalist Virgin is a big believer in Traditionalist gender roles. Answer: You don't have to be a Capitalist to be a Traditionalist in Gender Roles. The differences is when one has individual control of his/her own economy, He/She doesn't care about controlling anybody else's life. Individual control of your own economy is freedom. I would however argue that it is Socialism that brings about the crisis and wars amongst the genders putting males against females and females against males, Whites against Blacks and Blacks against Whites, Employers against Workers and Workers against their Employers, Aryan Germans against Jews and Jews against Germans. All of these crisis are caused by collective control of the means of production, not private individual control of the means of production. #5. The Anarcho Virgin Capitalist according to the Marxist author, Thinks the 50's and 60's America were the best. Response: I have no idea how this belief defines someone as Capitalist #6. The Virgin Anarcho Capitalist somehow believes in both individualism and tribulism. Answer: The above is Oxymoronic, as you cannot have both Invidualism and Tribulism. This contradiction is explicitly evident in Hitler's writings, who was a Socialist by the way. Hitler says in Mein Kampf that National Socialism also promotes individual worth.. Hitler however could never solve the contradiction this brought about. As if he really promoted individual worth as he said, then there was no way he could Nationalize the Masses or Socialize the people as he also said he would do. If there was individual worth, then the Germans couldn't be working for the betterment of their race, and there was no way for Hitler to Socialize the Aryan Race, as they would be competing with each other. Capitalism is strictly about the Private Individual and has nothing to do with groups or tribes who's effort is to strip the individual of his individuality. It is Socialism who promotes Tribalism and Collectivism. What the Marxist that created this Meme has proven is that the Virgin Anarcho Capitalist is actually a Socialist. I would however agree that he is not a Marxist Socialist. But by definiton he is a Socialist! #7. The Virgin Anarcho Capitalist according to the Marxist that created this Meme, is scared of black and brown people and wants to create his own ethnostate. Answer: As we already know that it is collective control of the means of production that brings about the clash between racial groups (Race Socialism), not individual control of the means of production. It is therefore easy to decipher that the Marxist author of this trash Meme is lying. Coupled with the fact that the Virgin Anarcho Capitalist wants a (White Enthnostate), which proves he is not a Capitalist but a Socialist, as State Control of the Economy is Socialism. Capitalism is Anti-State. Capitalism is the Antithesis of Socialism and therefore cannot be Socialism at the same time. There is no State in an economy that is controlled by individuals. #8. The Virgin Anarcho Capitalist thinks Liberals are Left according to the Marxist Author. Answer: Actually this is more proof that the Virgin Anarcho Capitalist is actually a leftist Socialist, very possibly a National Socialist. Classic Liberals are on the Right for the most part and are libertarians. #9. The Virgin Anarcho Capitalist is a useful idiot to Fascists according to the Marxist author. Answer: The author doesn't even understand the definiton of Fascism and is resorting to pseudo definitons as is common with Collectivist, that is, if the author even knows a pseudo definiton to the Term Fascist at all. As is common with most Marxist Fascist, they can't even define what Fascism is. Or else, they would understand that they are indeed the Fascist Trade Unionist. As Fascism in its simplist definition is Trade Unionism. The Soviet Union was Marxist Fascist. It is literally in the name, Soviet Union. Italian Fascism was Trade Unionism. All you have to do is read the writings of Gentile the creator of Fascism and Mussolini. They make explicitly clear what Fascism is, and what their political ideology was, which is contrary to what Marxist Historians and Sympathizers on Wikipedia are saying. #10. The Virgin Anarcho Capitalist has no praxis, just whines about liberals on the internet. Response: This sounds more like a National Socialist. Classic Liberals are on the Right not the Left. Meaning of classic liberalism: Classical liberalism is a political tradition and a branch of liberalism that advocates free market and laissez-faire economics; civil liberties under the rule of law with special emphasis on individual autonomy, limited government, economic freedom, political freedom and freedom of speech. #11. The Virgin Anarcho Capitalist uses Statist and Collectivist as insults. Answer: As i have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt. The Virgin Anarcho Capitalist according to how this Marxist describes him, is not an Anarcho Capitalist but a Utopian Socialist. He is indeed a collectivist no different than the Marxists and is living in a world of Contradictions and pseudo definition of terms identically to the Marxist. #12. The Virgin Anarcho Capitalist believes in Hierarchies according to the Marxist author. Answer: And Hierarchies are Public not Private. The Marxist has literally spelled out here that the Virgin Anarcho Capitalist is really a Socialist. You can't have a Hierarchy when every individual is fending for themselves. Only collectivism brings about Hierarchies. #13. The Virgin Anarcho Capitalist says Richard Spencer's ideas could work according to the Marxist author. Answer: Richard Spencer is a leftist Race Socialist lol. Richard Spencer is so on the left that he voted for Biden. He made his voting registration public on twitter for everyone to see. #14. The Virgin Anarcho Capitalist Invested in Bitcoin according to the Marxist Author. Answer: Many Socialists are invested in Bitcoin as well. I don't see how this indicates that all who invest in Bitcoin must be Capitalist. #15. The Virgin Anarcho Capitalist believes in White Genocide according to the Marxist author. Answer: The reason why the Virgin Anarcho Capitalist believes in White Genocide is because he is a Socialist lol. Done with the Virgin Anarcho Capitalist who should actually be renamed the Virgin National Socialist instead. Later on when i have more time, i will refute the Chad Anarcho Communist part of the Meme as well.

I am having a hard time believing how many pounds I've effectively taken off in a very short time. I use to weigh 235 pounds. In two months i took off 20 pounds and was at 215 pounds. One month later i was fluctuating from 200 pounds to 204. My brother in law and my father told me i had plateu. They told me i needed to incorporate excercise routines to lose more weight. I didn't incorporate any excercise routine at all. This is the fourth month of my diet and i got on the scale again because i feel even lighter, and more of the stomach fat is gone. I now weigh 192.4 pounds. I have shed off another 12 pounds without any excercise at all. I haven't been at 192 pounds since the year 2015. My wife says i even look younger now. In the past, i had lots of excuses as to why i gained so much weight. I had aggressive foot and ankle reconstruction surgeries on both of my feet in the year 2016. I was out of work for close to a year because of this. Also, that same year i had knee reconstruction of my ACL. I definitely gained lots of weight. But no where near 235 pounds in 2016. I wasn't really sure what contributed to my weight gain. I thought it might have been my return to taking my SSRI medication early 2014, as i went from 139 pounds to like 170 late 2014. Still, 170 wasn't bad at all. But later, after the surgery and close to a year of inactivity, i jumped from the 180's range to the 190's range and even closer to 200 pounds. I got off the SSRI Medication i was taking and went to a different type of medication similar to SSRIS, not because of weight gain though. The doctor told me SSRIS contribute to serious weight gain. However, i had to go back to the SSRI medication because the other Medication wasn't working for me at all. After years of having my situation 100% controlled by the SSRI medication i take. I have decided to never stop nor change the SSRI medication for anything else as it has gotten the job done. So, years past and i grew to become an extremely heavy fat monster who probably peaked at 240 pounds Max. I felt like i couldn't hardly even jump, even though i did not blame that on the fat but on previous foot and ankle surgeries i had. I couldn't have a normal night of sleep because i would choke and lose my breath. I learned from my wife to sleep on my side. I could sleep fine on my side without choking and not being able to breath. After so many years of being extremely fat, and my wife being unhappy with my situation and knowing that i didn't even try to do anything about it. One day, my sister sent us a video to watch. This video had to do with the scam food pyramid of the FDA. To make an extremely long story short, as the video was extremely long. For you to lose weight and become healthier, you have to flip the FDA food Pyramid B.S diet scam. Well, i did just that. Rather than going high carbs low fat as the scam FDA Pyramid reccomends. I am going high fats low carbs. This is not Keto, for i cannot do a diet that only consists of meat. I still eat fruits and vegetables. In fact, i eat an exaggerated amount of bananas and i only continue to lose weight. When my wife buys bananas i eat them all rather quickly. What i did completely remove from my diet was bread, rice and refined sugars, such as chocolate bars and drinks with lots of sugar ect. By doing this, i have taken off 43 pounds in 4 months. Some days i do eat as much as 7 eggs. I love sunny sideup eggs and it is a great source of protein. Eggs do a fantastic job of keeping me full. I also noticed with my current diet i don't have hunger crashes like what i had on the FDA scam carbs diet. I eat lots of fat and proteins, and i can go hours without feeling hungry, or being tempted by carbs and sugers. High Fat low Carb diet is way more satisfying than the High Carb low Fat FDA scam diet. This is only more evidence that State Control of the means of produciton is trash and must come to an abrupt end. Defund the FDA!

Bunny and I watching our favorite trash tv show ????

As someone that has been one of the biggest supporters of Wefunder I'm now publicly stating that I won't be investing in any companies that raise on their platform or recommending any company seeking capital through a equity offering through Wefunder. I 100% denounce them and I'm done with their trashcan policies. I recommend those seeking capital for their business to check out Republic, Startengine, or through Mynt Exchange if they can afford the $20,000 listing fee vs the other equity portal that have backend fees. Thanks.

https://youtu.be/Ywum_LU0wFA What is Codex in MIR M? It is an option in the game where you need to register items in exchange to unlock powerful stats for boosting your character. You get them while fighting monsters on any maps in the game of MIR M. As you can see in the picture, you have 3 major categories: War Adventure Profession I had completed a few Codex so far, but it takes a huge amount of resources. You need to find items or buy them in the market with gold. A precious and scarce resource in the game. Enhance items in the Codex It is a way to boost the stats of valuable items. When you enhance an item, you have a +1 in the right top corner, as you can see in the below picture. The max enhancement level you can reach is 25. The higher the number, it will become much costly to buy it in the market. It is normal because the item provides better stats for your character. Another cool feature when you use the enhance feature, you can increase your skill. This provides a way to become better and fail less often when you enhance items. The video In the video, you can see me upgrading an item to reach level +3. I received the item while fighting the monster on the battlefield. Instead, put the item in the trash because it takes up precious space in my bag. I upgraded and register it in the Codex This will help me, in the long run, to build a character stronger, where I will unlock better stats later on. Have a great day!

I need a bigger trash bag ????

Protesters in France collided with police on the 10th day of nationwide strikes and protests against the government’s pension reform on Tuesday, resulting in 201 people arrested and 175 police officers injured. Some activists set trash, barricades, and cars on fire. According to the French Interior Ministry, some 740,000 protesters joined 240 rallies held throughout France on Tuesday, paralyzing major services. The government deployed 13,000 officers, with nearly half of them in Paris. As of Wednesday, many workers, including the waste collectors in Paris, have returned to work, allowing the French capital to clear the piled trash on the streets for weeks. Local authorities estimated that about 8,000 tonnes of waste remained uncollected. Millions of people in France have expressed their disagreement over the pension reform and the use of Article 49.3 to pass the reform without a vote. Raising the retirement age is particularly unfair to workers in tough working conditions with shorter-than-average life expectancy. The next official strike day will be on Thursday, April 6th. #france #pensionreform #europe #paris #protest #trash #frenchie #riotpolice #Article493

Rainy and windy day, but beautiful nonetheless. Struggling a bit with building the greenhouse with recycled and torn plastics but it's coming. It might be easier to buy a plastic (it's cheap too) but then we continue draining this planet's vitality and producing endless trash. Hard mission to let go of the system's comfort but I'm no quitter! #diy #recycling #offgrider #pob #cent #aliveandthriving #someeoriginals
