"How Mandela’s Party Lost Its Majority for First Time Since End of Apartheid"

The African National Congress led by President Cyril Ramaphosa got just 40% of the vote in last week’s election.

The biggest gains were made by a new party led by fmr pres Jacob Zuma, who left the ANC under investigation for corruption.

"The ANC fell too short of the expectations of the masses, the working class & the poor,” says activist Trevor Ngwane.

"Israel has shattered its precedent of sadism, paving the way for wider imperial corruption & the end of the West’s neoliberal mirage.

"As Israeli actions continue with impunity..they threaten to trigger a cascade of global acts of fascistic aggression."

"Israeli actions thus serve as a trial balloon for continued US imperial corruption & exploitation on the road to climate change-induced international turmoil."

US on Gaza: "Rudderless, incompetent & complicit"

Just as the US temporary pier - a ludicrous idea instead of insisting Israel open land crossings - finally broke apart....

the latest US "ceasefire proposal” will similarly founder unless it comes with sanctions...

the last thing US complicity will allow.

Analysis

Biden's policy of blind support of Israel...

is "an insidious geopolitical play that will make the world a more dangerous place."

It advances "U.S. imperial interests under the guise of a diplomatic deal."

Biden wants to tie the U.S. to Saudi Arabia in an agreement "to protect the Saudi dictatorship & lock us into a new cold war."

U.S. would commit to militarily defend Saudi Arabia, a "destructive force in the region for years."

Analysis

by Prof Abdullah al-Arian on the "Major contradiction" in the latest truce proposal

Eg, does Biden agree with Israel "occupying parts of Gaza even after the ceasefire", despite Palestinian rejection of the idea?

And, as Israel & US want to exclude Hamas from future politics, how could an agreement with Hamas be reached?

al-Arian sees Biden's offer as primarily aimed at winning back disillusioned dem voters.

The anniversary of Israel's attack on the USS Liberty

A reminder that there are no limits to Israeli perfidy.

"The Israeli attack took place after six hours of intense, low-level reconnaissance.

"The attack itself was conducted over a two-hour period by unmarked fighter aircraft.

At least one of the pilots instructed to attack communicated, “But Sir, It’s an American Ship.”

He was told “Never Mind, Hit Her!”

Analysis

Israel is lying about Palestinian land loss since ww1

The Israeli govt is still pretending that we've all got this wrong.

It says that "Palestinian land" is not really Palestinian land, bcz it is "public or government land".

It wants us to think that Palestine... maybe... wasn't.

Remember, for fascist lies to work, they have to be Big Lies.

“Unprecedented in the History of American Republicanism”: Trump Verdict & GOP Extremism

Trump can still be president as a convicted felon & is poised to become the Republican nominee in July.

"One of the most dangerous things about Trump is that he’s not a one-man show. He’s the presumptive nominee of a political party in a two-party system. That in itself poses an immense danger to American democracy.”
