When #Israel does that kind of project, that kind of announcement, and dare to materialize it - mass bombing, mass killing, mass destruction, mass starvation, mass flooding... - it can't be denied it's the "terrorist" one & it's committing a #genocide. What #west is doing is to participate. None of these politicians, these governments, has any credibility. They should be ashamed of themselves. Disgust is all what they can inspire. I don't even know how they can listen to themselves.
"A plan to provide more artillery shells to #Ukraine by having #Japan send munitions to #Britain has stalled, underscoring the challenge the #West faces in increasing #Kyiv’s stocks of the much-needed ammunition."
I'm sure she is trustworthy and impartial
They only had 12 names, one with direct connection to October 7 operation, 3 with possible connection with Hamas and the rest were guilty of passing the border on October 7 like 1000s other palestinians. And of course, we have to believe it's truth worthy because the source is so reliable.
It's still unbelievable that they sat on the story for 112 days and only reported it after ICJ agreeing with the south African genocide accusations of Israel. #StopTheLies#Israel#Gaza@palestine
It obviously doesn't worth to be taken seriously AND it's not even a reason to cut funds to #UNRWA. These 12 persons aren't the origin of the 10/7 & they are suffering the #Gaza situation above all, they live it. That's totally rubbish. #west is just using bullshit to do bullshit. There's no content, not even the start of something defensible. All there is it's an eloquent bad faith showing by itself that these #western governments are the wrong side : they ARE malevolent.
White guilt and Biden’s support for the genocide in Gaza
Underlying the unqualified American support for Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza are feelings of white guilt over antisemitism, which have been projected onto a people that had nothing to do with these crimes.
They don't feel guilty of killing. Would be simpler if it was the case. So no excuse. "Antisemitism" is not the question. These #West politicians just are fascist #warmongers. Like the nazis.
“We need to recognise the fact that #Russia has succeeded in firing up its military-industrial complex and adjusted to a wartime economy. With North Korea and #Iran, #Putin has reliable suppliers of military equipment that don’t care the slightest for their own people’s needs,”
Part of the reason for the #West’s slow response is political and cultural.
It is obvious that if #Ukraine loses support from the #West, #Putin may well achieve his goal of destroying Ukrainians as a people and erasing the largest country from the map of #Europe. Despite the obvious tragedy of this situation for Ukraine, the consequences of its defeat for the West and especially for the #US as the leader of the free world would be no less catastrophic.
Who cares ? #West (& #US in particular) appears to be even worst than #Russia. One thing I didn't like about the first #impeachment attempt against #Trump is that he was doing lots of shit by himself (it's all what he does), he had lots of reasons to be considered for the irresponsible he was, but no, it was all about "collusion with Russia". Like an obsession. And years after he's always here despite all he's done. It just looks like a mockery to fool everyone.
Palestinian journalists are stopping their reporting for ‘a world that doesn’t know the meaning of humanity’
As Israel has murdered over 118 journalists during its genocidal war on Gaza, many journalists have been forced to stop reporting on the unfolding horror for fear of being deliberately targeted.
By reporting the #Israel illegitimate #war, they also proved #West & #humanity are 2 clearly distinct things. One is all an aggressive harmful smokescreen when the other is all what holds a world up.
On the content, we're on the same page. I just say what #West impose as an order is not. The World is people, not a flat saucer. So IMO, speaking about "order" for it implies humane considerations.
Gaza will be the grave of the Western-led world order
By supporting Israel’s atrocities in Gaza, the West has shredded what remains of its credibility and brought the ‘rules-based’ world order it purports to lead to the point of no return.
“The ICJ case shows how western logic is wearing thin and its persuasive power waning in a multipolar world.
The significance of the fact that the country bringing the case is South Africa – an icon of the ravages of colonialism, settlement and apartheid – cannot be lost on anyone.
It symbolises a vast racial injustice, too raw and recent to be dismissed as ancient history.” #ICJ #West #Colonialism #Racism https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/jan/15/israel-trial-south-africa-icj-palestine
Mohammed Ghalayini, a Palestinian scientist who spent weeks in Gaza during Israel’s bombardment before being evacuated, denounced Western nations for their uneven response after October 7.
“I think one word really describes the international response by the Global West – and that is racism. If Palestinians weren’t considered less than human by Western leaders then the response would be much different in terms of empathy.”
The well-off and financially secure easily get into this pipe-dream that if we just decentralise and free everything, democracy just happens like magic.
But democracy doesn’t actually happen, oligarchy happens. Freedom from central control means those resources are fought over by the most powerful, not shared like in a democracy.
Competition is healthy, as long as there is competition. But what we increasingly have also in the #west is #monopolistic#oligarchy.
South Africa repeatedly made a distinction today at the #ICJ between the government of Israel and its military vs. Jewish people and Israeli citizens. Any claims of #antisemitism are completely unfounded:
Well, I won't enter religious considerations (I'm atheist/agnostic, let's say. That's not a topic I'm qualified or interested in), but on the "violence cycle" thing, the same goes for the palestinians who've a lot to digest. Knowing the Israel of today hasn't lived the holocaust itself. This conflict is territorial above all and all of this doesn't explain the #west attitude which should have bring #Netanyahu to his senses, rather than amplifying this craziness.

A majority (63%) of Russians continue to support the full-scale war against Ukraine, which is viewed by another 64% as symptomatic of a larger "civilizational struggle between Russia and the West," according to a poll released on Jan. 9 by the University of Chicago's nonpartisan National Opinion Research Center (NORC).
It’s fairly obvious that #Israel’s ultimate goal is to get rid of the #Palestinians in both the #Gaza Strip and the #West Bank and make those areas parts of Israel. The “two state solution” talk is just used as a distraction, to shut-up any objections, and was never honestly wanted by Israel.
