Israel and USA go for broke attacking the world
It is really not funny that the people in the USA are still fighting over which genocidal lunatic to elect red or blue pill instead of doing something to change the system. Worse yet is some people will vote for Kamala only because she is a woman of color. (If this happens it will be Obomba’s 4th term as President. If Kamala selects Hitlery as her VP then Kamala will be another body in the long trail of Hitlery’s dead bodies and USA will get the Clingon as President). Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. I would really not give a care about who is elected as US president except that the US foreign policy is destroying humanity. If they would just stay home and mind their own business then that would be a different story.

True Heroes: Israel’s Deliberate Target of Municipalities
Gaza (Quds News Network)- From day one of the war in Gaza, Israel’s stated aims weren’t confined to only eradicating Hamas and destroying its military power, besides, Israel was vividly keen to leave a zionist footprint on every Gaza wall, street, and cultural landmark; to find a dummy picture they could cling their victory upon. That has been characterized by massive devastation across the besieged strip.
Throughout their blatant attacks on civilian houses, hospitals, mosques, universities, municipalities, and civilian headquarters, Israeli occupation soldiers meant to promote to their people how powerful the Israeli army is that “can reach every corner in the strip and can destroy, without limits, whatever confronts them.”
Among the Israeli targets, since the onset of war, were municipality staff and their workplaces, in which Israel bragged previously about turning Gaza into the “Stone Age”.

Senegal's PM calls out France for co-opting murder of African troops
France is attempting to co-opt the story of six African soldiers executed by French troops, by labeling them as soldiers who "died for France."
The announcement by French authorities comes after the government in Senegal prepared to honor these soldiers in a celebration of the 80th anniversary, which it hopes will "give new meaning to this painful memory."
On December 1, 1944, French colonial troops and gendarmes were ordered by French army officers to execute several dozen African troops at the military camp of Thiaroye, near Dakar, Senegal.
The African riflemen, known as tirailleurs senegalais, were repatriated after being held in Nazi Germany prisoner-of-war camps and were awaiting demobilization from French authorities.
French officers ordered their execution after demanding that bonuses owed to them be paid and that they be treated as equals to French soldiers. The incident was kept hidden for decades before being unveiled to the greater public in a 1988 film, Camp de Thiaroye, by Ousmane Sembene and Thierno Faty Sow.

Meanwhile in the Venezuelan Legislature, DIVISIONS among the opposition Opposition deputy (and presidential candidate) Jose Brito: "Where the fu*k are your children, Maria Machado? If Milei or Noboa were governing here, there would not have been a bone left unbroken last night!" Maria Machado, the main US puppet in the opposition, infamously sent her children to the USA before calling for violent uprisings.
Famous Russian blogger Boris Rogin is in the center of Caracas, shows that it is calm and says, the protests are blown out of proportion in the media and are not reflecting reality. Everything is calm, except some spots where the riots happen. It’s not at the scale where the state is in danger.
Pro western journalist were ready to film the chaos with gas masks, before the protests started. They were expecting big fights and chaos … They already knew the CIA had arranged protests that might lead to a coup.

UK to delay decision on banning arms sales to 'Israel' for weeks

Newly-appointment Foreign Minister David Lammy is under pressure from backbench Labour Party members to announce a complete ban on arms sale to "Israel," which was speculated to occur this week, according to The Times.
However, the decision could take longer as ministers are aiming to suspend export licenses for specific weapons linked to the occupation's war crimes in Gaza, a probe that is expected to take weeks.
