I love marketing. I hate how digital marketing tramples on people's right to control their online experiences. I am doing something about it through new tech, reporting & vigilance. https://trustwebtimes.com/

Do you know anything about this conflict ? Maybe you should ask some Iranians who fled the terrorist-islamist regime a few years ago...

A lot of "this isn't America" in the replies, to which I must unfortunately respond that allegedly esteemed institutions bootlicking for Far Right groups. This is exactly what America is and was designed to be.

GOOD NEWS: Arab media reports that Hamas is losing control of Gaza.

Gazans have reportedly taken over warehouses where Hamas was stockpiling stolen aid.

Without that aid, Hamas lacks the funds to recruit new terrorists and can no longer control the population through food.

Too many on this platform are HAMAS apologists - useful idiots in HAMAS' propaganda wars.

A priori assumption is that this is a conflict where 2 peoples want the same land.

FALSE. One side - HAMAS - has stated over and over and over again it wants to destroy JEWS.

The deeper meaning behind "almost no healthy children die of the measles" is that, when children do die of the measles, it's only ever because they were already ill. And the deeper meaning behind that is "well, we can't save 'em all." And that's just...17th century thinking.

In Moscow no hint of compromise. Russia continues to attack Ukraine. One Russian newspaper this week told European leaders to "breathe in the smell of the new world order." My thoughts on the last two weeks.
Hectic two weeks leaves Russia confident - and peace in Ukraine feeling no closer
On Ukraine peace talks, the Kremlin has played for time through deflections and side-steps, writes the BBC's Steve Rosenberg.
