HERMIT—The Preamble of the [British] Mandate was as follows: “Whereas the Principal Allied Powers have agreed, for the purpose of giving effect to the provisions of Article 22 of the Covenant of the League of Nations, to entrust to a Mandatory selected by the said Powers the administration of the territory of Palestine, which formerly belonged to the Turkish Empire, within such boundaries as may be fixed by them; and Whereas the Principal Allied Powers have also agreed that the Mandatory should be responsible for putting into effect the declaration originally made on November 2nd, 1917 [the Balfour Declaration], by the Government of His Britannic Majesty, and adopted by the said Powers, in favor of the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, it being clearly understood that nothing should be done which might prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country…”

PAUL EDWARDS—The PR arm of our corrupt, deceiving Deep State frames—as it always has—the latest Israeli massacre as a contest of equals, matched opponents, not a clear case of the sadist Zionist army shooting fish in a barrel. Israel attempts to deflect criticism of the sickening brutality of its Einsatzgruppen military-style on grounds that criticism of that sick, evil, murderous state is reprehensible “Anti-Semitism”. This trope, invented by the Holocaust Industry it has assiduously cultivated ever since that grim Nazi horror, is run up the flagpole whenever Zionist governments need cover for the criminal, racist violence they perpetrate at will on demonized Palestinians.

PATRICE GREANVILLE—For some time now Mark Ruffalo has stood out as one of Hollywood’s most acerbic critics of Israel. The latest event, currently in an official “cease fire”, an outrage clearly provoked by Israel’s policies originating in its Zionist vision for that region, made Ruffalo come out and declare that Israel was engaging in genocide. The response from the always hypersensitive Zionist lobby must have been swift and strong because within a couple of days Ruffalo resurfaced to offer a shameful apology. Obviously, as Jimmy Dore put it in his show a few days back (a rather long segment that has now curiously vanished from YouTube) Ruffalo was confronted with a clear ultimatum: apologise in no uncertain terms, eat your words, or else you’re finished in Hollywood. Ruffalo apparently thought career, wealth and fame were more important to him than principle. The upshot is this ugly episode now making the rounds, with a plethora of Zionists gloating over Ruffalo’s pathetic and clearly imposed cave-in. Too bad that Ruffalo failed the test. But then again it was always too much to expect a Hollywood shitlib to rise to the challenge. Principles are tested when the game gets rough, when a real price is to be paid, not when it’s easy and there are no unpleasant repercussions. For the nth time we see again that liberals can’t be trusted.

US Presidents Are Always Evil Because The US Empire Is Evil: Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix
15 minutes readCAITLIN JOHNSTONE—By far the single most important job of a US president is to take responsibility for decisions on empire management that would have been made regardless of who is in office, whether Democrat or Republican or tuna fish sandwich. Their job is to provide the illusion of democracy, letting you feel as though you “voted out” the perceived perpetrators of various misdeeds while leaving the actual power structure responsible for those misdeeds fully intact.
It’s like rectifying a corporation’s misdeeds by firing the secretary. They just rotate in a new secretary every few years.

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.
