“I know the limits of international law but I still believe in peaceful means of conflict resolution and prevention. So I want to make the system work, but I know that it will take a longer time than normal to fix it – and meanwhile, many more people will die.”

UN rapporteur Francesca Albanese

Much media attention about a Reform politician who took bribes from a Ukrainian politician but no media attention on the payments to British Politicians by the Israeli Lobby and the acceptance by Trump of $100,million by Arch Israeli supporter Miriam Adelson

Let's get it right. Nathan Gill was bribed by a UKRAINIAN MEDIA MOGUL, UKRAINIAN not Russia. Again Ukraine shows itself to be a corrupt cesspit and the fingers pointed directly at Russia completely bypassing the corrupt shit hole that enables it.

Correct

Clem.PM @clempm.bsky.social · 4h

in Trump’s Knesset speech yesterday he praised Miriam Adelson who donated $1,000,000 to his Presidential campaign

He doesn’t even try to hide the Zionist influence anymore knowing a compliant media will ignore this corruption

Scratch the surface of most American Wars and you will find a commonality of imperatives

1 Regional dominance
2 Weakening rivals
3 Access to or control of economic assets

The slaughter of Palestinians is no different

Absolute monsters. All of them.

Israel announced on Sunday that 12 licenses have been awarded to six companies, including British multinational oil and gas firm BP p/c and Italian energy giant Eni, to explore and discover additional offshore natural gas fields. Oct 29, 2023

I have 3 full passports and I’m working on a 4th. I used to be proud. I wore the flag on my hardhat. When asked yes “I AM AN AMERICAN” you could see the look of envy from most. Now? look has changed to a furrowed brow&a WTF look so I wouldn’t admit to being an American now for anything!

So after two years of Israeli slaughter, Gaza The West Bank & East Jerusalem remain illegally occupied by Israel & Israeli politicians responsible for genocide are congratulated by their NATO allies

Much media coverage of the bodies of Israeli hostages

No mention of the unknown number of Palestinian bodies buried under the rubble of Gaza.

Will Israel locate them and return them to their families?

In the coverage of the Gazan ceasefire today, I have not seen much of the famed media balance

”A flyer distributed by the Israeli military warned people that “we are surveilling you everywhere”

A timely reminder that Gaza & the West Bank remain under Israeli occupation

Israeli spokesperson says to grant statehood to Palestine be a reward to Hamas

By the same token not granting a Palestinian state is a reward for Israeli genocide

Trumps gleeful celebratory speech to the Knesset confirms the underlying truth that the USA is Israel’s ally and has facilitated Israel’s slaughter.

The USA is not an honest international peace broker

Western media gives no coverage to the refusal of Israel to release these two leading medics

Has Israel murdered them?

Aaliyah 🇮🇪🇵🇸 ‼️SAVE GAZA‼️ @aaliyahxx.bsky.social · 3d

CNN reports that Israel has refused to release two abducted Palestinian doctors, renowned pediatrician Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya and Dr. Marwan Al Hams, deliberately excluding them from the ceasefire and prisoner swap agreement.

A digital poster features two Palestinian doctors, Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya and Dr. Marwan Al-Hams, against a blurred background of destruction and smoke. Text at the top reads in bold yellow letters: “They are not coming home.” Below, in white and yellow text, it says: “Israel denies release of abducted Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya and Dr. Marwan Al-Hams in deal.” Both men appear serious—Dr. Abu Safiya in a white medical coat, and Dr. Al-Hams in dark clothing with a stethoscope around his neck.

Lots of interviews with families of hostages.
None with families of Israel's prisoners. Of course they can't go into Gaza but then in interests of Balance they should NOT be doing the former.

Their much vaunted "Balance" seems ever more of a CON.

Israeli settler colonialism is reinforced by the West

Western elites have been benefiting form a series of systemic international wealth transfer operations since the Atlantic Slave Trade onwards

💢Marx was right.🕊 @paulwalker44.bsky.social · 1d

There’s this #myth that #capitalists do where they pretend that they “work for” and “earn their money” with the “sweat of their brow” because of “education”, “merit” and “hard work”, and that couldn’t be more incorrect.

Denmark to Buy 16 More US-Made F-35 Fighters After unidentified Drone Flights

While there is no of proof of the source of these drones, more Champaign bottles opened at the US military industrial complex as sales figures continue to rocket

Lockheed Martin F35s cost between $85-110 million each

Clem.PM @clempm.bsky.social · 1d

Israel's Katz said Hamas tunnels would be destroyed under the framework of Hamas’ disarming and demilitarisation, foreseen in the next stages of the US-backed ceasefire plan.

I have seen no confirmation that Hamas has agreed to disarmament.

The foundations of this ceasefire seem wafer thin to me
