On May 10, 2024, the UN General Assembly passed overwhelmingly, with only nine negative votes (Argentina, Czechia, Hungary, Israel, Micronesia, Nauru, Palau, Papua New Guinea and the United States) a resolution which “Determines that the State of Palestine is qualified for membership in the United Nations and should therefore be admitted to membership in the United Nations” and “Accordingly recommends that the Security Council reconsider the matter favorably.”

Beyond revealing the utterly authoritarian and censorious climate of Israel, Loffredo’s detention and treatment by the IDF and Israeli police also expose the U.S. government’s corrupt devotion to the Jewish State, and how it abandons its purported democratic values when they interfere with the goals of their most “reliable partner” in the Middle East. When an Israeli social worker was sent by the American embassy to do a “wellness check” on Loffredo while he was in solitary confinement, the journalist hoped she would get him food and water, which he had been deprived of for days. Instead, she berated Loffredo because he “hurt Israel” and told him that he’d likely remain in prison for a long time. “That is the only help that the American Embassy afforded me… was giving me this Zionist social worker to berate me because of my reporting and give me no help at all,” Loffredo recounts.

One might have hoped that a good liberal education would have inculcated most citizens with the ability to recognize and resist this flaw in media and political chatter, but this was not to be. The job of education has always included turning out loyal citizens and not independent thinkers. And now, even what liberal education does take place, is dying out.
“Greater Israel” period in U.S. policy: supporting Israeli annexation and ethnic cleansing in the West Bank, Gaza, and parts of Lebanon; lifting sanctions on settlers; and preventing any bans on weapons transfers. “They have lists of things that they are ready to do,” Friedman says, warning that we should take them at their word.
For the thirty-second time in so many years, the US blockade of Cuba was globally condemned at the UN General Assembly’s annual vote in October. Only Tel Aviv joined Washington in defending the collective punishment, which is illegal under international law.
Now is an historical moment for recognition of not what Cuba has failed to do, but for appreciation of how much it has achieved with so little and under such adverse circumstances not of its making.

They enthusiastically embraced a convicted felon and known rapist to be their country’s exemplar. Not hesitatingly, not with caveats, not in ignorance of his crimes but knowingly and cheerfully. A tainted vulgarian represents their nation, its ethos, its character. He’s their role model – a man who ran for president to stay out of prison.

Zionism was a Quisling Movement That Collaborated with the Nazis and Obstructed the Rescue Efforts of Others
When Hitler became Chancellor of Germany on January 30 1933 most Jews reacted instinctively by boycotting everything German. Not so the Zionists. They were eager to trade with the Nazis to build their ‘Jewish’ state and in August 1933 they reached a trading agreement with them, Ha’avara.
Maccabi Tel Aviv fans rioting in Amsterdam chanted slogans like “There are no schools in Gaza, as there are no children left.” Far from just extremist provocations, their slogans tell the truth about Israeli war aims.

The Amsterdam ‘Pogrom’ That Wasn’t: Corporate Media Fails To Tell the Whole Story
Western media never tire of citing the atrocities of Hamas while diminishing and justifying the killing of tens of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, even when the majority of them are women and children. But how accurate is this portrayal of events?
