Analysis: "It was anger that won Trump this election" Trump obviously belongs to America’s financial super-elite, but many in the working class see him as a saviour from their economic plight in the US plutocratic system. "Make America Great Again” ignores the fact that "there was never anything great about a nation predicated on mass socioeconomic inequality, where Republicans & Democrats alike perpetuate plutocracy under the guise of democracy."

"End the Genocide! It is not a war!" Francesca Albanese to UN "You're talking of this as if it were two armies confronting each other. It's between a people who are trying to resist on the little that remains of their land, & one of the most powerful armies in the region. "I'm very critical of the [west] but many many states from the global South still have ties with Israel.... These relations have to be suspended." #UN #GlobalSouth #Israel #GazaGenocide #BDS .
Report: Israel buys 25 F-15 aircraft from US Boeing, with an option for 25 more. “The transaction will be carried out from American aid funds". Note: All US aid to Israel is military aid & must be spent in the US. It is US public money going directly into the pockets of US arms corps. Vive la guerre!

"I understand the sensitivity, because none of you has really clean hands when it comes to human rights.

Analysis: "Israel is perfecting crimes committed by Britain" Prior to the Balfour Declaration of a Jewish homeland in Palestine, the indigenous Muslim, Christian & Jewish populations in Palestine had co-existed peacefully. Balfour did not ask for indigenous views on the matter because, he said, "they would unquestionably give an anti-Jewish verdict". However, that verdict would have been against colonisation, not against Jews as people. https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/david-cronin/israel-perfecting-crimes-committed-britain #Balfour #Palestine #UKPol . image
