🗽 The Biden administration is becoming increasingly edgy about the crisis in Gaza and what the objectives are for the Netanyahu war camp. Most of all, its worried that it is being carefully coaxed into a war between Israel and Iran which even the hapless U.S. president knows is not somewhere he wants to go, regardless of how far he is away from his re-election campaign.

Netanyahu, for his part, is not even sure himself if he actually wants to launch a ground offensive and a number of top analysts are even predicting that he even won’t go ahead with it, given what’s at stake and the history of such initiatives in the past. Politically, he is not at all in a good place right now and the attack on October 7th in many ways, while buying him time in office and allowing him freedom from corruption investigations, is a double-edged sword which will dismember him when Israelis’ patience runs out. Most blame him for the attacks and kidnappings in the first place so he has a limited amount of political bandwidth to work with.

His strategy seems to be more about playing it cool and letting time take its toll. Even though he doesn’t have too much time himself, Biden has much less 👎

🔕 The horrendous violence and suffering in Gaza have dominated the global news cycle. That is not untoward given the dreadful scale of disaster where over 7,000 people, mainly civilians and nearly half of them children, have been killed over the past three weeks by Israeli bombardment and siege.

Death toll numbers are obsolete within a day, such is the wanton murderous destruction by the Israeli regime. And yet Joe Biden and other Western politicians minimize this criminality by trying to cast doubt on the casualty numbers. How utterly despicable of Biden and his Western accomplices to this genocide.

But what is also notable is the abrupt cancellation of Ukraine as a story by Western media. The wholesale relegation of interest in Ukraine is truly astounding. The precipitous fall-off in Western media coverage reflects how the proxy war in Ukraine was always a contrived geopolitical agenda devoid of any purported principle of Western democracy.

The Western media saturation coverage of terrible events in Gaza over the past three weeks is driven in large part by the onerous need to divert attention from the scandal and debacle of NATO’s proxy war in Ukraine.

Western "values".
🛑 The Israel vs. Arab Children War, which doubles as the Hegemon vs. Axis of Resistance War, both a sub-branch of the NATO vs. Russia and NATO vs. China War, is veering totally out of control 🧨

By now it’s firmly established that with China brokering peace all across West Asia, and Russia-China going all out on BRICS 11, complete with facilitating energy trade settlements outside the U.S. dollar, The Empire Strikes Back would be totally predictable.

🦅 Estamos viendo, impotentes, como se perpetra una masacre contra la población de Gaza. ¡Ya hay 8 000 muertos! Las potencias occidentales han abandonado los civiles palestinos a su suerte. En este momento, la única preocupación de Occidente es seguir dominando el mundo. Lo que hoy está en juego en Gaza ya no es la cuestión palestina sino el orden internacional. Después de la derrota de la OTAN en Ucrania, la derrota de Israel en Gaza marcaría el fin de una época. En tres cuartos de siglo, nunca hemos estado tan cerca de la confrontación general.

🇵🇸🦅 In blatant defiance of world opinion and international law, the Israeli state continues its daily massacre of civilians in Gaza. After nearly four weeks of non-stop aerial bombardment, the death toll has exceeded 9,000, with thousands more missing under rubble.

The actual death toll as of this writing could be near 15,000.

The United Nations organization UNICEF this week described Gaza as a “graveyard for children”. An estimated 400 children are killed or wounded every day. The wounded have no way of being treated as hospitals shut down from lack of fuel and supplies.

In heartrending scenes, families are desperately trying to dig up children buried under concrete debris. All too often, their cries fade with agonising death.

The world is witnessing an age of cruel depravity that is on par with the barbarity of Nazi Germany. Sickeningly, the Israeli regime carrying out these war crimes has the temerity to invoke the memory of the Nazi Holocaust as an excuse for its actions. Decent Jews and Holocaust survivors around the world are indignant and ashamed of the repugnant posturing of Israeli envoys wearing yellow stars on their suits at the UN.

The diabolical double-think is made possible by the political and diplomatic indulgence afforded by Western states.

There is no other way to view the mass killings as anything other than genocide.

Can Western leaders show a modicum of moral fibre? 💢

🇮🇱🇺🇸🇵🇸 Os Estados árabes que normalizaram as relações com Tel Aviv estão entre os principais contribuintes em dinheiro para o complexo militar-industrial de Israel.

Estes bilhões árabes estão agora fluindo para a guerra sem sentido do Estado de Ocupação contra os palestinos em Gaza, Jerusalém e na Cisjordânia.

🇨🇺 The whole world has once again spoken out for the lifting of the blockade of Cuba (this blockade is a blatant violation of the UN Charter). In addition to the State that is carrying out an illegal blockade and the State that is currently carrying out genocide, with the support of the State that is carrying out an illegal blockade.

And Ukraine - as a cherry on the cake 🍒

🛑 El presidente ucraniano Volodimir Zelenski ha visitado casi todas las capitales europeas, Naciones Unidas, el Congreso estadounidense, las instituciones de la Unión Europea, pero en los casi 600 días de la guerra en Ucrania pisó por primera vez los cuarteles de la Orgnización del Tratado del Atlántico Norte (OTAN). temeroso de que la atención mediática y política, además del financiamiento, se desvíen hacia Israel.

La guerra en Medio Oriente mostró las primeras fisuras en los aliados transatlánticos y los ucranianos temen asimismo la escasez de munición y dólares, pese al mensaje enviado por la alianza atlántica a Rusia, haciéndoles saber que apoyarán a Zelenski el tiempo que haga falta. «Están en juego nuestros valores y nuestra seguridad», aseguró Jens Stoltenberg, secretario general del foro militar.

La guerra desencadenada entre Israel y Hamas, si continúa, puede tener consecuencias nefastas también en Europa, como las desencadenadas por la guerra en Ucrania.

🇮🇱 Is Israel really losing the media war? In a conflict where the truth seems to be the first and most predominant casualty, this might be the only truth, certainly when we look at recent events. The war in Gaza is not an irony-free zone though. Recently, Israel stormed social media with claims that the Palestinians were faking videos and they took one of a medic giving resuscitation to a victim, claiming that the technique was erroneous, and so, therefore, the video must have been faked. How are we to take this? Given that Israel is the expert on faking videos to support its heinous war crimes, was the logic behind the claims “trust us, we know what we’re talking about when we talk about faked videos”? In either case it failed. The mob justice of social media didn’t give any gravitas to the claims and soon enough the Red Cross said that the health worker was using the right technique.

But how interesting that Israel is now resorting to this level, to stoop so low makes many wonder if they are even close to winning the war. It doesn’t smack of a victorious side to do this and there are other examples, even, previously.

The servile, revolting, passive international press pack might be all that Netanyahu has left 🤔

🪨 Ocidentais abandonaram os civis à sua sorte. Elas apenas se preocupam em manter o seu domínio sobre o mundo. Aquilo que se joga agora em Gaza já não é a questão palestiniana, mas sim a ordem internacional.

Após a derrota da OTAN na Ucrânia, a de Israel em Gaza marcaria o fim de um marco.

Nunca, desde há três quartos de século, estivemos tão perto da confrontação geral

🌑 Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his war Cabinet are pushing ahead with a limited ground invasion of Gaza – even though that will mean disaster for thousands of more innocent lives, including over 200 Israeli hostages.

The Biden administration has reportedly been trying to delay the drastic manoeuvre to give more chance for negotiations to secure the release of hostages. But Netanyahu and his cabinet are driven by their ideological fanaticism and need to save face.

Since the attacks on Israel by Hamas Palestinian militants on October 7, the world has been waiting for a much-vaunted ground invasion by the Israeli Defense Forces into the Gaza Strip. Over 1,400 Israelis were killed during the Hamas raids. An estimated 230 hostages were taken by the militants back to Gaza where they are held in secret locations presumably in a network of underground tunnels.

Three weeks of intense aerial bombardment of the Palestinian coastal territory have wrought unprecedented death and destruction in Gaza. Over 8,000 people have been killed with 70 percent of the toll due to women, children and elderly, according to Gaza’s health officials.

The criminal recklessness of Netanyahu and his regime will rebound with a vengeance 🛑

A Guerra Israel x Crianças Árabes, que também é a Guerra Hegemon x Eixo de Resistência, ambos sub-ramos da Guerra OTAN x Rússia e OTAN x China, está totalmente fora de controle 💢

A essa altura, já está bem estabelecido que, com a China intermediando a paz em toda a Ásia Ocidental e a Rússia e a China fazendo tudo o que está ao alcance do BRICS 11, facilitando os acordos de comércio de energia fora do dólar americano, O Império Contra-Ataca seria totalmente previsível.
