Scott Bennett: Israel, Gaza, Ukraine, and The End of Empire

James Fetzerblog

Scott Bennett GTI-There is a very close relationship between the Ukraine and Gaza wars. US-Nato and Israel are one unit. Both want to weaken Russia and Palestine. The US used neo-Nazi terror groups to replace the rulers in Ukraine with US puppets in 2014. The Russian-speaking Ukrainian community was persecuted and terrorized, such as in the Donbash region. US-Nato is using Ukraine and creating conditions (which will make Ukraine a member of Nato) that will seriously threaten Russia’s security. However, this effort actually weakens the US and Nato. Meanwhile, in…

Joachim Hagopian, US-Israeli Genocide: Psychopathy on Full Geopolitics Display

James Fetzerblog

Joachim Hagopian Another major news development this week involves Bibi the Butcher’s “chief political foe” (according to CNN), Israel’s former Defense Minister and retired General Benny Gantz as a current member in Netanyahu’s war cabinet. Totally against Bibi’s wishes, Benny at Biden’s behest traveled to Washington to meet on Monday and Tuesday with Vice President Kamala Harris, Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Security Council Advisor Jake Sullivan. All these puppets implored Benny to go back to Israel and convince Bibi his position as head of state will not continue to be…

Joachim Hagopian, Israel’s Rafah Ground Invasion – Zionist War Against Islam Is about to Explode

James Fetzerblog

Joachim Hagopian The deadliest ever Israeli bombardment by land, sea and air on Rafah, Gaza Strip’s southernmost border city, took place while America was sidetracked with Superbowl Sunday festivities. On Sunday Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu went on ABC News “This Week” to announce: Victory is within reach. We’re going to do it. We’re going to get the remaining Hamas terrorist battalions in Rafah, which is the last bastion, but we’re going to do it. Then overnight on Monday February 12th, anywhere from over 100 to 164 Palestinians were reportedly murdered by Israeli attacks. International alarm and condemnation of…

Joachim Hagopian, Today’s Upside-Down World Spins: Superbowl, Year of Dragons and Demons

James Fetzerblog

Joachim Hagopian No doubt special counsel Robert Hur’s leaked report to the press this week was timed to take public focus away from Tucker Carlson’s highly revealing interview with Vladimir Putin, proving the West demonized Russian leader as the only seemingly honest and genuine adult on the world stage, is clearly not interested in waging world war against US/NATO. Then, contrast Putin’s prudence and competence with the released assessment concluding Joe Biden’s incapacity to stand trial for misplacing troves of highly classified documents as “leader of the free world.” With imposter-in-thief Braindead occupying a stolen White House showing…

Omar Karmi, Gaza genocide turns into PR disaster for US

James Fetzerblog

Omar Karmi  Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza is turning into a public relations disaster for the US.Israel has been openly and increasingly defying its main sponsor and ally despite the Biden administration’s fulsome support for Israel’s massive assault on the tiny coastal territory it occupies, and despite the administration repeatedly circumventing its own legislature to deliver munitions to Israel.In December, the US said it wanted Israel to wind down its Gaza operation by mid-January. It hasn’t happened. Twice in January, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu openly contradicted the US administration over a two-state solution. The second time, he…

Will World Court’s Ruling in Genocide Case Signal the End of International Law?

James Fetzerblog

Michel Moushabeck A credibility crisis with sharp consequences could result if the court rules in favor of Israel, despite the evidence. There is very little more we can say that the thousands of reports and images of death, destruction and humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza have not. Israel, without a doubt — its genocide watched globally in real time — has already lost in the court of public opinion. But will the International Court of Justice (ICJ) — the UN’s highest legal organ — find Israel guilty of genocide? Nearly 30…

Nathan Soloman, US Attack on Yemen Exposes the Lie of Supposed “Rules-Based International Order”

James Fetzerblog

Norman Solomon  Antony Blinken’s lofty rhetoric about “rules” and “rights” is emptier than ever after Biden’s illegal attack on Yemen. Have you heard the one about the U.S. government wanting a “rules-based international order”? It’s a grimly laughable premise, but the nation’s major media outlets routinely take such claims seriously and credulously. Overall, the default assumption is that top officials in Washington are reluctant to go to war, and do so only as a last resort. That framing was in evidence when the New York Times published this sentence at the…

Joachim Hagopian, HOSPITALIZED SECRETARY OF DEFENSE LLOYD AUSTIN’S HEAD MAY ROLL

James Fetzerblog

Joachim Hagopian [Editor’s note: Russians Claim: Austin Dead In Ukraine. Report https://realrawnews.com/2024/01/russian-claim-austin-dead-in-ukraine/] US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin’s hospitalization on January 1st resulting from a post-surgery complication from an elective medical procedure was kept quiet to even senior Biden administration leaders, top Pentagon officials and members of Congress. Not even Austin’s boss President Biden knew he was in the hospital. On Friday January 5th, Pentagon Press Secretary Air Force Gen. Pat Ryder was forced to admit that the Pentagon was unaware its chief has been a patient all week long at Walter Reed National Military Center. Though unsure of…

Joachim Hagopian, City of London Pawns US and Israel are Fast Becoming Rogue State World Pariahs  

James Fetzerblog

Joachim Hagopian Every week Israel and US governments’ genocidal war in both Gaza and larger Middle East increasingly alienates and dooms both these nations as global outcasts. Even a Wednesday December 20th Washington Post cast doubt on Israel’s capacity to defeat the heavily entrenched Hamas militants fighting on their own demolished turf in Gaza. Though near all of Gaza’s buildings lay in rubble, with 90% of its Palestinian residents displaced and homeless, and over 20,000 of them dead, 2 out of 3 women and children, with all its pulverizing military might, WaPo insists that Israel…

The Antisemitic Moment: Maligning critics by Jewish groups to “protect” Israel only damages their credibility

James Fetzerblog

PHILIP GIRALDI    In a 2002 interview the former Israeli government minister Shulamit Aloni was asked by Amy Goodman: “Often when there is dissent expressed in the United States against policies of the Israeli government, people here are called antisemitic. What is your response to that as an Israeli Jew?” Shulamit Aloni replied “Well, it’s a trick, we always use it. When from Europe somebody is criticizing Israel, then we bring up the Holocaust. When in this country [the US] people are criticizing Israel, then they are antisemitic.” She added that there…
