Behold the US-Israeli equivalent of “Generalplan Ost,” the Nazi program for lebensraum in the East. Ironically, a summary can be found at Yad Vashem the Holocaust remembrance org. Just replace Nazi with US-Israeli, Jew & or Slav with Palestinian, and you’ll get the gist. So much for “never again”
WASH POST: “A postwar plan for Gaza circulating within the Trump administration would turn it into a trusteeship administered by 🇺🇸 while it is transformed into a gleaming tourism resort… temporary relocation of Gaza’s more than 2 million population…” 🤔 www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

The correct analogy for the Trump admin is not monarchy, but the mob, with Trump as capo di tutti capi & Rubio as chief consigliere. The contract on the UN & International law has been placed by the heads of la MAGA nostra! The rule of law is officially whacked. Fuhgeddaboudit! #LaMAGAnostra
The U.S. State Department announced on Friday that it is “denying and revoking visas” for Palestinian officials ahead of the UN General Assembly meeting in New York City next month, where several states are expected to recognize a Palestinian state.
Rubio Denies Visas for Palestinian Officials Ahead of UN Meeting Where States Slated to Recognize Palestinian State
Numerous countries have said that they plan to recognize a Palestinian state at the General Assembly meeting.

Grab your copy of 1984 and start reading to remind yourself of the coming highlights! The forever war is just around the corner, brought to you by the same folks who gave us a Taliban-controlled Afghanistan, a million dead Iraqi’s, a 14 year regime-change dirty war in Syria that shattered 1/5

Make no mistake, Tonight, US-backed Israel commits the greatest crime, that encompasses all others, that of aggressive war. Fawning, sycophantic US media, like CNN, with their “preemptive” framing are shameless apologists for war crimes & are thus complicit. Iran has the right to defend itself!!

The US gov’t is a gang of criminal, sociopathic warmongers, who have created idols of themselves. Hellbent on a new crusade only a world that bends to its every selfish, depraved desire can be allowed. Independence or resistance is intolerable & must be violently crushed. This evil must be stopped.

This is piracy on the high seas in international waters by a vicious, US-backed, terrorist occupation entity that respects no rule other than its own self-proclaimed impunity. Will complicit, morally degenerate US Senators like @markwarner.bsky.social & @kaine.senate.gov condemn this lawlessness!?

</a>
</h2>
<div class="content">
<div class="field field-field-text"><p>Members of the Gaza Freedom Flotilla, a vessel named Madleen, posted a video to <a href="https://x.com/clashreport/status/1930011203671105915?s=61">social media</a> late on Tuesday, urging viewers to share their "distress signal" after they spotted a drone overhead. </p>
<p>The Madleen was some 80 kilometres away from Greece in the Mediterranean, on its way to Egypt, when the drone flew above it, then either turned back, or turned off its lights, the volunteer crew said. </p>
<p>Their goal upon arrival in Egypt is to walk to the Rafah crossing on foot, in a bid to highlight Israel's siege on Gaza. Israel, however, has fired on such vessels before, namely in 2010 when it killed Turkish citizens on board the Mavi Marmara. </p>

The levels of anti-Palestinian racism in US political culture are just obscene. This cult of the self culture is now virtually devoid of ethics & morality. Anything can be done to the scapegoated other. This is where deeply racist viewpoints like “American Exceptionalism” lead.
