In my last few days in Vietnam ๐Ÿ‡ป๐Ÿ‡ณ, Iโ€™ve been spending time in Ho Chi Minh City/Saigon. It was here that the USA ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ was defeated officially on April 30th 1975.

At the War Remnants Museum, there is not only a remarkable account of the history of atrocities committed against the Vietnamese people but also a host of captured war armaments, a strong message that this is now liberated territory.

I couldnโ€™t help but wonder: when Palestine ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ is free, will there be a similar museum of US-made weapons captured from the Israeli occupiers? That is surely one I want to go to.

This is all to say that Palestine ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ deserves the kind of independence that Vietnam won. And now more than ever, a majority around the world supports this.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑโš”๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธNetanyahu confirmed the start of a ground operation in the Gaza Strip.

Netanyahu said:

We are only at the beginning of the journey. This is our second struggle for independence.

Last night, additional ground forces entered Gaza, marking the beginning of the second phase of the war aimed at destroying Hamas' military and government capabilities and bringing back our hostages.

Netanyahu says the decision to launch a ground invasion was made unanimously by the military cabinet.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑโš”๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธHas Israel Committed War Crimes in Gaza? ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ’”

As Israeli PM Netanyahu speaks of the official start of a massive ground offensive in Gaza and with the death toll of Palestinian men, women but a lot of children rising amidst a brutal and indiscriminate bombardment, a weary world demands a ceasefire.

It certainly feels like Israel has long surpassed the point of justifiable right to self-defence and we continue to move to another human rights and international norm of Responsibility-to-Protect (R2P) or does that only come into play when the US and NATO wish to devastate countries like Yugoslavia, Iraq and Libya?

As the picture chillingly alludes to, how does Israel and its US patron justify with a straight face the deaths of over 3,000 Palestinian children? Where is the purported moral authority? All I see is contempt for human life.

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿคก In a Kiev nightclub they decided to show patriotism and honor the memory of the fallen Armed Forces officers with a minute of silence.

Immediately after this, the visitors began to party as if nothing had happened.

This suggests that โ€œUkrainian patriotismโ€ is a deeply feigned story for residents of the capital.

In fact, the capitalโ€™s residents donโ€™t give a damn about the โ€œdefenders of Ukraine.โ€

This is very serious.

Whatever happens next, as horrifying as it may be, the strategic relationship is on top of their game.

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆMissing: Zelensky, Last Seen When Ukraine Was The West's Favourite Playground

In the high-stakes game of geopolitical chess, it seems Ukraine's poster boy, Volodymyr Zelensky, has been benched. Just a couple week ago, his face was the emblem of Western resistance against the Russian bear. But oh, how the tables have turned! As the Gazan skies light up with the fire of a new war, the Western spotlight has swiveled towards the new action, leaving Zelensky in the shadows. It's almost like the media has a new darling (Israel), and Zelensky's 15 minutes of fame have dwindled into obscurity.

Remember when he was the gallant knight, paraded by the West, his face plastered on every news channel? Now, it seems like he's been handed the script titled "Silence is Golden." One can almost picture him, frantically waving from the forgotten wheat fields of Ukraine, trying to catch the camera's eye as it flits towards Israel.

It's a cynical world where the West's attention flits from one war to another, leaving yesterday's manufactured heroes in the dust as they chase the new day's headlines. The tragicomedy unfolds as Zelensky stands in the wings, waiting for the spotlight to swing back his way. But alas, the script has changed, and it seems there's no longer a role for our once beloved Zelensky. Oh, the fickleness of geopolitical fame!

Here's to Zelensky, now tucked away in the shadows of yesterday's headlines, perhaps enjoying a line or two as the Western spotlight hastily shifts, leaving him with nothing but the echoes of forgotten promises.

๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ทErdogan: The Master of Double-Dealing?

Erdogan's recent grandstanding at a pro-Palestinian rally is nothing short of political theatrics. His fiery condemnations of Israel reek of hypocrisy when juxtaposed against years of warm embraces with Israeli prime ministers. The stark disparity between Erdogan's public denunciations and his private camaraderie unveils a cynical dance of deceit.

His labeling of Hamas as "freedom fighters" and Israel as war criminals appears to be a blatant ploy to court his Islamist base, a stark contradiction to his cozy rapport with Israeli leaders over the years. This glaring inconsistency exposes Erdogan's double-dealing on the geopolitical stage, where he wears the mask of a Palestinian sympathizer while holding hands with those he condemns.

The imagery of Erdogan rallying amidst a sea of Palestinian flags against the backdrop of heartfelt embraces with Israeli leaders is a telling narrative of his political duality. This duplicitous behaviour underscores a cynical opportunism that trumps any semblance of genuine allegiance to the Palestinian cause.

Amidst this tableau of deceit, one can't help but question: Is Erdogan's pro-Palestinian stance a genuine outcry for justice, or merely a cold, calculated act in the ruthless theatre of geopolitics? His track record of cozying up to Israeli leaders while ostensibly championing the Palestinian cause exposes a level of hypocrisy that is as audacious as it is contemptible.
