The EU’s vassalage to Washington cannot get much more repugnant than this. Laughable, too. Rarely has a onetime powerful and proud civilisation degenerated so far and so quickly into abject kowtowism, cowardice and rank stupidity.

Gaza – US and the West Supports Israel’s Crimes Against Humanity – Understanding the Never-Ending Conflict
33 minutes readPETER KOENIG—What is nearly as criminal as the IDF’s aggressions, is the almost complete silence of the west, and the world at large, vis-à-vis Israel’s atrocities committed on the Palestinian population. It is an unspoken tolerance for the carnages Israel inflicts on Palestine, especially in the Gaza Strip, the world’s largest open-air prison. For example, the political UN body, despite hundreds of Resolutions, condemning and flagging Israel’s illegal actions against Palestine, including the ever-increasing number of illegal Israeli settlements on Palestine territories, seems to be helpless against Israel. Weak condemnations of Israel, calling both parties to reason – leaves Israel totally cold and undisturbed. There is no punishment whatsoever, not from the UN system, not from the western allies, most of whom are Washington and NATO vassals.

Debunking Israel’s ‘Human Shield’ Defense in Gaza Massacre
8 minutes readAbby Martin provides a short but powerful rebuttal to Israeli claims that Hamas—a “terrorist organization”—is hiding behind civilians to attack Israel. Meanwhile, we have yet to hear one peep of protest from the usual Hollywood shitlibs: Where’s Rob Reiner, or Ben Affleck or George Clooney (worth about $500 MM) now? When not denouncing Palestinians, complete and deafening silence.

Serbian WWII film smeared by war propagandists in Western media
29 minutes readMAX PARRY—What none of these yellow journalists bother to explain is how any Serbian film can faithfully portray WWII history, during which Serbs were disproportionate victims at the hands of their fellow countrymen in collaboration with the Axis invaders, without provoking such accusations of nativism. The trumped-up charge is that the filmic representation of atrocities committed by the Ustaša during WWII is to somehow excuse or legitimate war crimes carried out five decades later during the Yugoslav Wars (of which Serbs were assigned excessive blame), when this too proceeds from a false historical premise.

The Biden administration’s lofty rhetoric is meant to distinguish the new administration from the previous Trump White House and its “America First” mantra. President Biden and his aides are trying to project a seeming return to multilateralism as opposed to Trump’s in-your-face nationalism. And so we hear a lot about the U.S. vowing to uphold the rules-based order. The difference is merely rhetorical. The consistent reality is that the United States and its Western allies are seeking to pursue a unilateral approach to international relations. The Biden administration is just a little more adept compared with Team Trump at public relations and media spin to cover this reality of American hegemonic ambitions. Lest we forget, hegemonic ambitions are anathema to a democratic world order based on equality among nations and universal respect for international law.
