GARLAND NIXON—Garland and Dr Monteiro discuss the enormous political and structural changes taking place in the world as the US empire, representing the aristocratic/racist/exploitative colonialist order, now mired in irrevocable decline and chaos, slowly gives way to a new world order rooted multilateral sovereignty and genuine democracy. These are exciting times for humanity, says Dr Monteiro. There are indeed troubles and dangers ahead, but if the US ruling class can somehow finally accept (or be forced to) a new egalitarian multinational system, many things will rapidly begin to improve for most of humanity. The Global Majority—the “non-white” portions of the world—will now be in command.

INDRAJIT—Today, America and their Jewish client state think they can defeat Palestinians by genociding them. Not merely killing them, but starving them to death, making them suffer and die without food, water, medicine, or sanitation.

MAX BLUMENTHAL—There are three major factors behind the shift: first, many on the right have begun to share the same sense of disgust and indignation with Israel that progressives have. Who can suppress the pangs of outrage when confronted with the live-streamed industrial level Israeli butchering of children each day for the past 6 months?
Second, more American Christians recognize the threat Zionism poses to Palestinian Christians, whether in Gaza, Bethlehem or Jerusalem. The Christ at the Checkpoint Initiative Munther Isaac helps to lead and US groups like Sabeel have provided a critical network for connecting US churches to Palestine.
Finally, American conservatives are recognizing that the Israel lobby’s influence runs counter to the ethos of America First, and that many of the most heavily promoted right wing influencers are just controlled opposition projects whose careers were astroturfed by pro-Israel billionaires.

BOMBING PALESTINIANS IS GOOD FOR PALESTINIANS, SAY AMERICA’S ELITE PUNDITS
by Adam Johnson20 minutes readADAM JOHNSON—A ceasefire would not help the residents of Gaza? Which residents? The tens of thousands of dead residents, or the over 1 million former residents who are now refugees? If it were possible to conduct a snap poll of those living in Gaza right now, one wonders what percentage of respondents would agree with Sen. Duckworth’s assessment that a ceasefire is bad for them. But, alas, our politicians know best.
The bombing-Palestinians-for-their-own-good line is one frequently used by Israeli officials themselves. Israel’s UK ambassador, Tzipi Hotovely, for instance, recently told Sky News that “the Hamas regime is bad for Palestinians and Israelis.”
