macron backtracks on his comments about Israeli strikes killing young and old civilians in gaza.....French President Emmanuel Macron has appeared to backtrack on his comments about Israeli strikes killing scores of civilians in Gaza, which he made in an interview with BBC on Friday while calling for a ceasefire. The remarks were met with backlash from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who accused Macron of making “a serious mistake, factually and morally,” while the Israeli President said that the remarks “caused much pain and upset in Israel.” On Sunday, the French leader initiated a phone call with Isaac Herzog to clarify his position saying that he “did not intend to accuse Israel of intentionally harming innocent civilians,” according to Herzog’s office.
who's more palatable to general election voters than trump who's ahead of Biden with registered voters....Former US President and current frontrunner for the Republican nomination, Donald Trump, is leading current US President Joe Biden in both national polls and five of six swing states, damaging the argument that Trump’s political Republican rivals are more electable than the former President. According to two recent polls of swing state voters, Trump is beating Biden in Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, while Biden maintains a small lead in Michigan. Meanwhile, two national polls have Trump ahead of Biden with registered voters by three or four percentage points.
good terrorists and bad terrorists....On October 7, Israel was attacked by Hamas, an armed Palestinian resistance group inside Gaza. The group killed 1,405 people, and kidnapped over 200 in Israel. Hamas was a branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, a global terrorist organization which is outlawed in many countries, but not in the US, UK or Germany.
warming up....The world has just experienced its hottest 12-month period in recorded history, with the average global temperature over 1.3 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels between November 2022 and October this year. Analysis of international data, conducted by Climate Central scientists, found that human-induced climate change had significantly elevated temperatures around the world. The report warned that El Niño was only just beginning to boost temperatures and, based on historical patterns, most of the effect would be felt next year. While Australia did not experience the same level of extremes compared to many other parts of the world, a hot and dry summer was expected.
holocaustic.....“Jewish people exterminating men, women and children in a concentration camp is _______.” How do you finish a sentence like that? The words should fall like acid into your ear drums. It should be an impossible sentence. And yet, not so. We are witnessing it today in Gaza – the world’s largest open-air prison, home and hell to 2.3 million brutally repressed human beings – carried out by the Jewish State of Israel. Genocide.
By Eugene Doyle
If the word seems excessive, then listen to leading Israeli politicians in their own words. Israeli government minister Amichai Eliyahu endorses using a nuclear bomb against Gaza – and told the Times of Israel that the whole Gaza Strip should be conquered and resettled.
self-important american fascist zeitenwende in the indo-pacific....From May 14 to 16, 2023, participants of the Munich Leaders Meeting in Tokyo focused their attention on security challenges in the Indo-Pacific and their global implications. They discussed maritime security, the impact of technology competition, matters of deterrence, nuclear security, and how to strengthen the rules-based international order. Just days before the G7 Hiroshima Summit, the Munich Security Conference (MSC) hosted a Munich Leaders Meeting (MLM) with the kind support of the Japanese government. For the first time, an MLM was held in Tokyo, Japan. The MSC brought together 60 senior decision-makers and experts, including government officials, think tankers, and journalists, to discuss security issues in the Indo-Pacific region.
delayed justice is crooked justice in america.....Special counsel David Weiss, the U.S. attorney for Delaware appointed to lead the investigation into President Joe Biden's son, told lawmakers in closed-door testimony Tuesday that he had full authority to pursue criminal charges against Hunter Biden, according to a copy of his opening statement obtained by CBS News. Weiss said he voluntarily agreed to appear before the Republican-led House Judiciary Committee before the submission of his special counsel report — an unusual move — to "address misunderstandings about the scope of my authority" in the Hunter Biden criminal probe but would not divulge information that could impede the ongoing investigation.
election of a president in america.....The Election Integrity Partnership, an online “disinformation group” created by the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and operated through a network of think tanks and academic institutions, was deliberately set up to censor conservative speech during the 2020 campaign season, a report published by the House Judiciary Committee on Monday revealed. The group directed almost all of its censorship efforts against “true information, jokes, and political opinions” posted by conservative social media users while leaving false information posted by liberals alone, the report claimed, describing the partnership’s true goal as “censor[ing] Americans engaged in core political speech in the lead up to the 2020 election.”
a waste of ukrainian women preparing to die in the trenches — for crazy zelensky ......Halyna Vynokur, a clerk in a hardware store in Kyiv, was shouldering a firearm for the first time. Iryna Sychova, a purchasing manager at a department store, disassembled and reassembled the jumble of rods and springs in a Kalashnikov rifle. They were among two dozen women who turned out in a forest near Kyiv one recent weekend for a course in firearms and urban combat, training that included shooting rifles, finding booby traps and throwing hand grenades. They were spurred by a sense of duty, they said, realizing they might some day end up on the front lines.
debt — running out of paper.....The US national debt has risen so high that Washington will no longer be able to print any more dollars to service it, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said on Thursday. He was commenting on a statement made by his US counterpart John Kirby on Wednesday, that the US has already spent 96% of the funds allocated for Ukraine since early 2022, when its long-running tensions with neighbor Russia turned to armed conflict. When a reporter suggested that Washington could just print money indefinitely unless the printing press breaks down, Peskov pointed out that there will simply be no paper left. “I read recently that the United States spends about $200 million an hour on servicing its debt,” he said. “They will run out of paper soon,” he added.
russia cannot allow the organisation of military blocs along russia's borders......Maria Zakharova puts Straussian Blinken in his place with his ultimatums by Bertrand Hedouin Yes, times have changed, not always for the better. Russia and China are slowly but accurately occupying the Goban in the face of a Western team, those of the globalists, who still and always persevere in wanting to advance on the squares of their hobby game.
brave zelensky fights defenceless civilians....Moscow has requested an extraordinary meeting of the UN Security Council to address Ukraine’s strikes on the city of Donetsk, Russia’s deputy ambassador to the UN, Dmitry Polyansky, announced late on Tuesday. Earlier in the day, Donetsk was subjected to multiple missile attacks by Kiev’s forces, which resulted in heavy damage to several critical civilian infrastructure sites. Initial reports by local officials put the number of victims of the attacks at 20. The authorities later confirmed five fatalities and said over 20 others were injured. “We have requested an emergency open meeting of the UN Security Council in connection with today’s attacks by the Kiev regime on Donetsk,” Polyansky said in a statement on Telegram, adding that the meeting is expected to take place on Wednesday afternoon.
weaponizing the enemy’s children: dehumanisation of palestinians has gone mainstream......The Economist has published a piece pretending to answer why Israel is killing so many Palestinian children, or, as the British journal puts it, why “children are a very high proportion of the victims of war in Gaza.” The authors note that “in Ukraine, a conflict between two much bigger powers, children account for fewer than 550 of roughly 9,800 civilian fatalities over a much longer period.” Hence, they venture, “Gaza’s enormous child death toll reflects, among other things, its especially youthful demography.” BY Tarik Cyril Amar
