Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley): We’re seeing the western political/media class bleating the word “unprovoked” in unison again, this time in reference to the massive multi-pronged operation launched by Hamas against Israel on Saturday morning which reportedly
Thank you - thank you. Israel has been practicing genocide on Palestinians since 1948 and even sooner. Hamas and Palestinians have solid grounds to rise up to this brutal genocide, and open air prison. The Palestinian land was stolen!
I’m not buying that Mossad and Shin Bet missed the build up for this attack and I am deeply suspicious that the border security was deliberately weakened to allow for an unimpeded incursion with maximum shock effect on Israel and of course the USG. Is it too far a reach to infer this will lead to aggression against Iran and by extension, further provocation and violence on Ri
To think that in 2023 people still have to fight for their existence. Establishing Israel in Palestine in 1948 was a travesty, a betrayal by the British of the Palestinians. Israel has never upheld terms of the UN agreement. Instead they have been brutal toward the Palestinians, terrorizing children, murdering journalists, permanently crippling people. The Palestinians have right to protect themselves! The US gov. Officials have no conscience. Unprovoked! My ass!
I see the headlines this morning and my hair bristles. I look around to see if I can solve the riddle. To believe the Israelis Intel had no clue such a big attack was imminent is foolish. You don’t have all this side hustle bullshit (independent actions) and keep OPSEC.
So then the paranoia kicks in and you wonder what is really happening. That doesn’t make me schizo it makes me a critical thinker. We must never allow ourselves to fall for the lie again. It’s also important to gauge our response. Getting bogged down in conspiracy is no bueno either. Find that happy medium.
THAKS FOR THIS POLITICIAN ! and his A: And then, of course, President Putin intervened, striking the plenary session like lightning.
This is an unofficial Top Ten of his address, before the Q&A which was characteristically engaging:
“I even suggested joining NATO for Russia. But no, NATO does not need such a country (…) Apparently, the problem is geopolitical interests and an arrogant attitude towards others.”
“We never started the so-called war in Ukraine. We are trying to end it.”
“In the international system, lawlessness reigns supreme.”
“This is not a territorial war. The issue is much broader and more fundamental: it is about the principles on which a new world order will be built.”
“The history of the West is a chronicle of endless expansion, and a huge financial pyramid.”
“A certain part of the West always needs an enemy. To preserve the internal control of their system.”
“Perhaps [the West] should check its hubris.”
“That era [of Western domination] is long gone. It’s never coming back.”
“Russia is a distinct civilization-state”.
“Our understanding of civilization is quite different. First, there are many civilizations. And none of them is better or worse than the other. They are equal, as expressions of the aspirations of their cultures, their traditions, their peoples. For each of us it is different.”
On The Road to “Asynchronous Multipolarity”
The theme of Valdai 2023 was, most appropriately, ‘Fair Multipolarity’. The key axes of discussion were presented in this provocative, detailed report. It’s as if the report had prepared the stage for Putin’s address and his carefully crafted answers to the questions from the plenary.
The concept of multipolarity in the Russian space was first articulated by the late, great Yevgeny Primakov in the mid-Nineties. Now, the road to multipolarity is based on Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s concept of “strategic patience”.
The perception management has to be this brazen this time out--the public is becoming more and more doubting and questioning as to how any of these violent conflicts are necessary let alone "provoked." The propagandists are becoming less and less imaginative in their wording and tactics. Let's not stop them as they make mistake after mistake. The illusory effect might yet be destroyed along with imperialism!
"(U)nprovoked" is becoming hackneyed, and in this case is beyond ridiculous. I've seen photo evidence of Palestinians - children, unarmed women and men, the aged - shot by IDF from behind barbed wire. This was testified to by human rights activists and organizations. Mystifying how a stockpile of 2500 to 7000 home made missiles went undetected by one of the most sophisticated intelligence and surveillance organizations in the entire world. But they were "shocked". Well I'm a little shocked that deadly arms delivered by an advanced state that intermittently and arbitrarily kills innocents (mowing the lawn) in an open-air prison are actually more moral than amateur rockets that are far less deadly -because they are more accurate!!! It's a moral metric - and logic- I can't buy into.
Israel kills at least 12 Palestinians for every Israeli killed. It's a stat that seems to imply Israeli lives
I'm confident that our government will do everything in its power to bring this conflict to a peaceful and amicable conclusion just like they have in the Ukraine…
As usual, defending radical Islam requires cherry picking history (a logical fallacy), as if this long-standing religious war began in 1948. This is a long discussion that goes back to the beginning of Christianity and then Islam. The Roman punishment for sedition was crucifixion. Jesus was crucified because he attacked the empire via the money lenders. In the 2nd century, Bishop Irenaeus of Lyon changed the story and blamed the Jews. If Jesus had actually committed blasphemy, he would have been stoned to death. At the same time, after another Jewish revolt against Rome was put down, Rome renamed Palestina (the Philistine states, now Gaza), Israel, and Syria as "Syria Palestina," trying to wipe Israel off the map. So, it was the Romans that renamed Israel as Palestine, not the Palestinians. In the 4th century, the lie that the Jews killed Jesus was baked into the so-called "New Testament" (another insult to the Jews, as if the Torah [Old Testament] had been replaced. This lie in the New Testament is the root cause of anti-Semitism for the past two millennia, resulting in torture, forced conversion, expulsions, asset seizures, etc. leading to the Holocaust. Islam, which sees itself as the spiritual heir to Judaism and Christianity, adopted this lie as well and had its own SS brigade (Handcar) in WWII, which rounded up Jews and others. Both Christianity and Islam are proselytizing religions that, ultimately, want everyone in the world to believe what they believe. Right now, Iran, an Islamic theocratic dictatorship is funding Hamas, Hezb'Allah, and the Islamic Jihad in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria, and elsewhere, including Africa. Their goal is an Islamic super-state, including wiping Israel off the map and killing the Jews. So, all of this is a long-term religious war, which is why all the attempted solutions have never worked, because non-Jews see the situation as political, which is how Islam wants people to see this. And that is the core of their propaganda, that Israel is Palestine and that Jerusalem is the capital of Palestine. That game is over, even if the rest of the world has bought into the lie, because their belief system depends on that lie. https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/origin-of-quot-palestine-quot
One can be sure that in US puppet-land Australia, we will see and hear the "unprovoked" word, ad nauseam from here on in.. Mind you, I can attest to having also witnessed the continual deaths of Palestinians since 1967 when the USS Liberty, an American vessel, was bombed by Israel with many US deaths and forgiven almost immediately by then President Lyndon Johnson. From then on, I have been an advocate for justice in Palestine, to no avail, the USA having become the murderous weapon used by Israel for the supply of weapons and funding for 55 years of inhumane occupation.
So naturally, from there feeble lips of Biden, this attack by Hamas is "unprovoked."
Hans Christian Andersen is alive and well and living in Washington.
Australia is now the epitome of US vassal states in the world, surpassing NATO as a believer in the fantasy of US democratic objectives, well rewarded for our stance on AUKUS and the contracted submarines (AU $ 360 billion, sometime in the 2040's, and counting) in return for which we enjoy the welcome presence of B-52 nuclear capable bombers in our 'top end'. Australia will promote and publish the story line that it is told to do by all the well controlled US sources of world "news", (for want of a better word), a.k.a. propaganda.
The deaths that can now be expected from Israel, adding to the daily murders of men, women and children from Palestine, will be supported by the USA. Count on it.
Just analyse the verbiage to date from the Israel -controlled USA.
A beyond outstanding commentary on the inequities extant between the terrorist Zionist entity and its every adherent and the sumud (steadfast) decades-long valiant resistance by the Palestinians. Viva Palestine! -- indeed, indeed, Viva Hamas!--the "leading edge of the Palestinian sword of resistance"!
I am less surprised about the brazen management of the plandemic, Ukraine and now Israel as I am about the zombies all around me who fall for it, even when it falls apart in front of their eyes, they still believe. The management is getting more and more brazen because it keeps on and on working! I am starting to think that there is some f$ck wittery being put in the water.

Gaza is an open-air prison camp. This isn't a war. It is a prison riot. The Israeli guards should have expected it.

RFK Jr. was bragging that he was told to jump in a lake - which he did... What if we told him to "choke on a d..."?
Honestly, I don't care about the rest; we know they are trash.... I just expected way more from him...

are more valuable than Palestinian lives.

Gaza has been a brutal concentration camp for how many decades?
