Play the anti semitism card all you like. This isnt the UK. From Mondoweiss we know that current thinking of both an influential think tank linked to Netanyahu and Israeli Intelligence Ministry is to move the population of Gaza out of Gaza into tent cities...
Imagine thatnotso long ago, in any givencountryyou are familiar with, halfof the entire populationhadbeen forcibly expelled within a year, halfofits villagesandtowns wiped out, leav-ingbehindonly rubbleandstones. Imaginenowthe possibility that some-howthis...
Are you seriously holding up the war in Ukraine as sufficient reason to slaughter more than 6 thousand innocent civilians in Gaza? More than half of which are children? Israel has continued, from its inception, to find ways to eliminate the inconvenient ...
An oldie but a goodie. Nelson Mandela on why he supported Palestines right to exist and Yasser Arafat. Also, the necessary limits that must be placed on Israel before its right to exist can be affirmed. This is similar to the argument put forward by Norman...
Responsibility for life?? Who needs satire these days...
As an agressor state illegally holding occupied territory and laying a siege on another territory they forfeit that right with regard to Palestinians. How can it be otherwise? States can just invade and then pummel the invaded population claiming self ...
Oh. So secondary explosions larger than the initial one? There weren't any. The IDF have the ability to detonate missiles at any predetermined height before impact. Result? Plenty of dead in a crowded car park with little structuural damage and no crater.
Good grief! You have heard it said! Oh, well thats a relief then! Do you understand that the Israeli siege on Gaza is illegal? It has been described by David Cameron as an open air prison, a ghetto by Haaretz, a human rubbish heap by the Economist and a ...
On the contrary. There is no "firming up". What is obvious to anyone with an ounce of sensibility is that it is impossible for a misfiring Hamas missile to cause this much death Did you read anything of what Micky wrote? Did you take in the graphic ...
The same thing happened to Captain Haddock when he accidentally drank a glass of water. His remedy was half a bottle of whiskey. I only mention this because of your name. Glad you're feeling better!
Well, thats peanuts compared to whats coming. A few months before the mid terms...(a) Chicago billionaire had gifted anti-abortion Supreme Court fixer Leonard Leo the largest known tranche of dark money in US history: $1.6 billion The article goes on to ...
I realise that you hatred of anything Russian fills you with rage when they are the obvious sole reasonable voice and winning milirarily to boot. There are many relevant references detailing Western preferences for ISIS over designated enemies such as ...
Putin tried to talk about his concerns regarding the $5 bilion spent by the US to organise the 2014 Maidan coup and then support and arm the likes of Azov and similar neo Nazi groups. It is all disturbingly similar to their support of other crazies such as...
There is much to like about Arderns speech. The attempt to express independence in NZ foreign policy and focus on deescalation and disarmanent as well as climate change issues even while supporting Nato. Your final paragraph is a place where both yourself ...
And the plots about as complex as an Enid Blyton story and everyone just laps it up. Goodies look like goodies and baddies look like baddies so that nobody even has to think
Whoops. I'm in the wrong thread
I think you may have missed the point. The question was: Should we engage in talking before the initiation of war? Are we now heading for the same point with regard to China? Refusing to talk now and then waving our hands in the air proclaimung innocence ...
It seems that the discussion in the West has become limited to "my way or the highway". It cannot be argued that between 2014 and 2022 Russia did not make an effort to discuss what they saw as events impacting on their security. For the West to point blank...
Right. And I wonder what the response to either of those scenarios would be... Hmmmm...
I find the star wars story line is getting a bit tired now. Once again the rebel forces fly their fighters down a narrow channel flanked by enemy weaponry to deliver the killer missile down the air duct that is the one weak point.
I dont recall Nato abiding by any "rules". Not sure which Nato country was invaded when they bombed Belgrade? Same with Libya.
So long as you realise that its the same type of fantasy as the Marvel movies which at least are recognisable as such. US N and AF are having a field day in signing up young fantasists to a life with a very high rate of suicide. Pentagon written and ...
Great video Sanctuary
Great article MS. The point raised by Mick Lynch on record profits and payouts to shareholders is a world wide phenomenon. When blaming workers it was the "wage/price spiral". Now its the profit/price spiral. No wonder workers are getting angry. Thanks ...
I think you misunderstand what per capita means. It means everyome gets an equal share so the amount allocated to Costa Rica would significantly increase.
Tedious for you I guess RL because a focus on per capita use doesnt allow for a continuation of the extreme lopsidedness of resource allocation. Anything that is scarce should and must be allocated on a per capita basis. Anything else just exacerbates ...
Well put TM. This is the type of vision we need. Looking forward with courage and confidence rather than forever herded by fear.
Great post Mike. The comments to this post show at least that there is significant support for a more independent foreign policy. As inflation ratchets up and energy becomes very pricey we will have a lot more to worry about. Its a pity that Ardern couldnt...
Hasta la Pasta!
Former Aus FM, Bob Carr lays out a path by which Julian Assange could be freed by the new PM Albanese. He laments the lack of any kind of national pride that allowed Morrison to accept such extreme treatment of an Aus passport holder and points out the ...
She is the real deal and could be the actual nail that fixes shut US military hijinx in arming drug cartels against poor Colombians. All that is left now is for Lula to take back Brazil. This will be a tough nut to crack with the US potentially focused on ...
