Day 618 of accelerating genocide & day 4 of regional war and why we are more optimistic
This is Day 618 of accelerating genocide. The empire tries to march on making wars and engaging in extermination (population in Gaza dropped from 2.3 to 1.85 million in 20 months) while facing some resistance. The Empire relies on hegemony in economic power, on subservient media, on expanding racism that dehumanizes non-whites and non-Jews, on deadly weapons, on industrial dominance, and on control of mainstream media and attempts to control academic discourse (the freedoms in universities are being quelled!). The psychological and propaganda warfare is becoming more strident. The scenario for violating International law while pretending to distance the US from the illegal attack was laid out in 2009 by one of the arms of the global Zionist movement which is seen here https://www.brookings.edu/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/06_iran_strategy.pdf
The only glitch in this theater (of the absurd) was that Narcissistic Trump does not follow the script laid for him by the Zionist movement so ends up contradicting himself on extent of involvement in this illegal war on Iran.
But words, no matter how self-contradictory, are not as important as actions. Thus everyone can see things like US supplying Hellfire missiles https://middleeasteye.net/news/exclusive-us-quietly-sent-hundreds-hellfire-missiles-israel-iran-attack
and other actions becoming obvious even to other powers like China and Russia
Authoritarianism and oligarchy in the US is being promoted and tryig to get the rich richer and the poor poorer but all must be under control by deep state actors serving the most nefarious movement whose power makes governments of otherwise powerful states (like Gemany and the US) support genocide and blatant violations of an international law that these same countries helped shape. Crimes against humanity and war crimes become normalized. Whether done with blackmail or bribery is irrelevant to the outcoe of lobbying (see https://popular-resistance.blogspot.com/2023/11/israel-lobby-in-usa.html).
As Mary Kostakidis stated: "Now we must worry about a future in which the world’s most awful regime, Israel, takes advantage of international ignorance to maintain unique possession of the most dangerous weapons. Israel’s strike is a display of scheming madness for which we should all be fearful and will one day regret. Not knowing where this madness will lead, except to know the madness will not be calmed and will lead into more madness."
How Far Can Israel Go? Miko Peled on the Attack on Iran
and lest we forget
Palestine was the issue in 1948, in 2002 when this film "Palestine is still the issue" was made https://youtu.be/39EjqBrJBAc
and is still the issue and the reason for an ongoing intentional genocide https://youtube.com/shorts/0SW_UhTRExg
And on how Israel discriminates even in shelters to protect its own citizens (if they happen to be not Jewish)
If you read so far it means you are still looking for why we are more optimistic. Before the unprovoked and illegal attack on Iran, I put the chance of a global war (no win for anyone) at 70%. But the past four days and with China, Russia, and now Pakistan getting involved to defend Iran against the US/Israel/Germany/France/British aggression the equation is changing. I now put the probability at less than 50% and as this drags on, that percentage probability could drop. The reasons are economy (imagine for example if Iran decides to close the strait of Hormoz) and people power. Here is an example of the latter: 150,000 beautiful people march in The Hague for Gaza, Palestine

Day 615; 11 elemental facts, global war?
Yesterday I told staff that there will be an attack on Iran and to stock on food. It started few hours later. It does not take a genius to figure these things out as all the signs were clear. Trump (Epstein/Mossad videos holding him by the balls) told Iran to surrender to his (Israeli) demands within 60 days. Attack happened on day 61 and only a few days after Iran released secret documents proving that the International Atomic Energy Agency (which is allowing "Israel" to have many nuclear bombs) is infiltrated by the Mossad. Is anyone surprised at the turn of events? It maybe worth repeating elemental facts:
1) Zionism is a global racist political movement of which "Israel" as a state is merely a stage and a sub-project (the goal is global domination).
2) This project is predicated and built on the largest mass grave and concentration camps in modern history. Liquidating Palestinians and Palestine is a prerequisite for expansion of the project. Conversely Palestinian resistance/steadfastness is also key to ending humanity's nightmare (see http://qumsiyeh.org/popularresistanceinpalestine/ )
3) Half a million Palestinians have been massacred since 1948
4) Now 8.5 million Palestinians are refugees/displaced people.
5) The Gaza Strip is now the largest (and only) extermination camp on earth.
6) Israel cut off the internet access to the Gaza strip so the extermination/ genocide will stop being broadcast
7) International law was discarded (US veto and spineless politicians arund the world).
8) Zionism runs the US and both engage in war crimes and crimes against humanity.
9) Both empires are run by megalomaniacs not very different than Hitler, maybe only less intelligent and timed when a global war will have no winners.
10) Leaders of the vassal states helping Israel (Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, the new government of Syria, etc.) are also clueless about the shifting quick sands under their feet. They will soon be discarded by their masters.
11) the concomittant genocide and ecocide is bad for ALL: those who condone it, support it, or neutral to it. No one will be immune from the carnage.
We are living in a period of transition and the old empires are decaying. This is the time of monsters.. Empires start wars, stretch themselves too thin, then collapse. Meanwhile weapons manufacturers propser, people die, gold and oil prices will continue to go up. So will national debts of states like the USA. Common people get poorer while the rich get richer. Many will have insouciance and denial about the grim fate they help create to others and to themselves. But the global uprising seems to be growing. We live in predictable and interesting times. You can either be active and shape your future or let the evil forces shape the future for you (and they will come for you after they finish with people in our region).

Israel raised $5bn in bond sales to US investors as Gaza genocide strained economy: Israel has spent some $67bn to carpet bomb Gaza and slaughter tens of thousands of Palestinians
The genocide and ecocide continues unabated. Actions speak louder than words. Time is critical. We in Bethlehem are now under siege. All the gates to our ghetto are closed. Gaza continues to be decimated. Silence is deafening.
Stay tuned, stay humane, ACT to keep hope alive
