Land Grab …
Thank you
for this article by Manlio DinucciBiden Plan: Rebuilding Gaza To Erase Palestine
US President Biden has presented a plan for a lasting ceasefire in Gaza.
The clear aim of the plan is to strike the BRICS, which Russia and China are part of, and Saudi Arabia has entered together with Iran, which the USA and Israel consider their most dangerous enemy in the region. However, the fact remains – concludes Biden – that Israel will always have the right to defend itself from threats to its security and that the United States will always ensure that Israel has what it needs to protect itself.
Biden’s plan perfectly fits the United States’ war strategy in the Middle East.
The surviving Palestinians, returning to their homes and neighbourhoods, would find only rubble and would no longer have any real property rights.

Former Israeli captive expresses anger at ‘heartless’ government for failing to save her husband
“It doesn’t matter to them if you are released or not, if you die there or come out alive.”
Tami Metzger, a former Israeli captive who was released by Hamas in November last year, described Israel’s government as “heartless” as the country celebrated the freeing of four Israelis in a deadly attack on Nuseirat that killed at least 274 Palestinians.
Metzger criticsed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for meeting with the four freed captives after the attack, saying that he did no such thing when captives were released through deals with Hamas.
Israel confirmed early last week that her husband, Yoram Metzger, was killed along with three other captives during an Israeli army operation in Khan Younis. The Israeli army did not give additional details as to how the men had died. Their bodies are reportedly still being held by Hamas, who had stated before that Nadav Popplewell, one of the captives that was confirmed dead, was killed by an Israeli air strike in April.

End of the EU Dream: Disengagement from Reality. America’s War against Europe
What is referred by change here is the collapse of the EU. This collapse will happen sooner or later, so it is pointless to try to predict when it will happen. Instead, it would be much more useful to analyze the fundamental reasons that brought the political movements, which have been confirmed by these election results as candidates to be the driving force of the transformation in Continental Europe, to this point.

Europe’s Far-Right Mainstream with the Meloni-Von der Leyen Political Alliance
Try to imagine a Prime Minister’s own party’s youth wing throwing literal Fascist salutes during a mass demonstration in a major European capital and nothing happening to this leader. Now imagine the same Prime Minister remains an ally of the incumbent European Commission President after that. Well, that’s Meloni in a nutshell. With the Meloni-Von der Leyen political alliance, far-right politics and even neo-Fascism has now officially become mainstream in Europe – as long as it supports the European Union bloc itself and the Atlantic Alliance.
Enough with the useful idiots of liberal-fascism (IT)
From the first results of the European elections it is clear that the war on Russia, support for Israel, liberalist and austerity policies - all profoundly reactionary and fascist choices - are making the right grow, however it presents itself.
Ursula von der Leyen's warmongering Europe, Mario Draghi's war economy, are the breeding ground for the growth of the neo-fascist right in Europe, as the entire history of the continent teaches.
The Euro-Atlantic left, servant of the USA and fanatical about this policy, destroys itself, and thus contributes to the destruction of democracy.
They are the useful idiots of liberal-fascism, which has been growing in Europe for thirty years also due to the complicity of the reformist left.

No, israel Does Not Have the Right to Self-Defense In International Law Against Occupied Palestinian Territory
By : Noura Erakat A state cannot simultaneously exercise control over territory it occupies and militarily attack that territory on the claim that it is “foreign” and poses an exogenous national security threat. In doing precisely that, Israel is asserting rights that may be consistent with colonial domination but simply do not exist under international …
Solidarity, dedollarization, and human rights- the missing elements in the quest for a peace without genocide- is what IMEC eliminates, by making Israel the middle man in the free trade of oil and gas, a legacy of The WMD Iraq War, so the woke left, I.e. consumers, around the world, can colonize native lands with single family homes and SUVs.
