FRED REED—America’s foreign policy makes it hated in most of the world. It seems murderous, thuggish, brutal, a menace to everyone. For example, the U.S. killed over a million people in Iraq. This does not bother Americans. Since 2000 it has destroyed Iraq, Syria, Libya, enters its eighteenth year of butchering Afghans, bombs Somalia, sends troops to Africa. It militarily threatens North Korea, Venezuela, Iran, seeks to destroy the economies of Iran, Venezuela, Cuba, Russia, China. It sanctions Europe. No other country does this.

In Jerusalem, the “Conference for the Victory of Israel” threatens London and Washington
30 minutes readTHIERRY MEYSSAN—he “Israel Victory Conference – settlements bring security: Returning to the Gaza Strip and Northern Samaria » was no mere meeting of Jewish supremacists. A rabbi, sentenced to life imprisonment for his crimes, spoke on behalf of the successors of the Stern group that assassinated British leaders in Mandate Palestine. It was a declaration of war against the Anglo-Saxons. By participating in this event, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was threatening Washington and London. President Joe Biden immediately banned all fundraising and money transfers to these extremists. This is the first time that the United States has imposed sanctions against Israelis.

RANIA KHALEK—Israel’s genocide in Gaza has shocked the conscience of the entire world, with an endless flow of videos and images of Palestinian children cut into pieces by American bombs dropped by Israeli warplanes deliberately intended to destroy a civilian population. Despite the explicitly genocidal rhetoric of Israeli officials, Western leaders continue to proclaim their support for Israel’s right to “defend itself.”
But this war on Gaza is different from past wars, not only in the level of Israeli aggression, but in the reaction on the street, from the Middle East to the United States. Israel is losing the narrative war.

16 minutes readBRETT WILKINS—he decomposing body of a missing young Palestinian girl was found Saturday in Gaza surrounded by her dead relatives in a bullet-ridden, tank-crushed car near a blasted ambulance and the bodies of two paramedics killed by Israeli troops while trying to save the child.
The plight of 6-year-old Hind Rajab drew worldwide attention after the Palestine Red Crescent Society published a recording of a desperate phone call made by her 15-year-old cousin Layan Hamadeh to the PRCS as her family came under Israeli tank attack while trying to flee to safety in their car in the Tal al-Hawa neighborhood of southern Gaza City at dusk on January 29.

George Galloway and Miko Peled discuss clear demands to save Palestinians from the approaching total genocide
6 minutes readEDITOR—George discusses the Gaza situation with Miko Peled, a distinguished veteran anti-zionist activist, and himself the son of a prominent Israeli general, and former member of an IDF special forces company. Peled is critical about the current resistance strategy. The people who wish to help Palestinians must make CLEAR demands. Asking for a ceasefire, he notes, is not a clear demand; asking to stop the genocide is NOT a clear demand. The Pro-Palestinian movement and international community must demand and impose specific objectives on Israel and its Western supporters, including an immediate embargo to the supply of weapons, fuel and munitions to Israel, without which Tel Aviv could not prosecute the war; perhaps impose a blockade on the country; kick Israel out of all international organisations, from the FIFA to the UNO—which Tel Avid clearly has never respected, anyhow; and it’s time to demand the unconditional release of all Palestinians held in Israeli jails, and perhaps the most obvious, a no-fly zone over Gaza.
