Donald Trump has been made the central character in U.S. politics around whom everything revolves. But whether he wins or loses, the imperial status quo will be unchanged, says Caitlin Johnstone.

The verse “Shema Yisrael” is a testimony to God’s oneness. The same idea is central to Islam. A linguistic connection shows Judaism and Islam share much in common.
Anti-Zionist activist Miko Peled says Israel is not a Jewish state. Rather, it was established by a racist, settler-colonial movement and is a violent, apartheid state that is engaged in the genocide of the Palestinian people.
“Older ‘liberal’ Israelis are shocked. They say this is not the Israel they grew up in, but it always was. They just didn’t see it, didn’t want to see it or were too deeply indoctrinated to see it.
“The evidence is all there in the hundreds of villages destroyed and depopulated and the people massacred all the way up to 1967, including children as sweet and innocent as those obliterated in Gaza. The Gaza subset of a long-running genocide is the evil fruit of seeds sown long ago.”
Israel even refuses the vaccinations for the HOSTAGE CHILDREN
She represents Israel’s “Existential Threat and is their excuse for genocide, The very notion of Palestinian freedom is a threat to the Zionist psyche
In 2021, Israel killed 22 members of Palestinian artist Zainab Alqolaq’s family in an attack on their home in Gaza. Today, Alqolaq is struggling to survive the current genocide, yet she’s determined to see justice prevail.
As Alqolaq looks toward Gaza’s future, she’s determined to see justice prevail. “My hope is to find an end to this barbaric occupation.” Even with the prospect of a regional war between Israel, its Western lackeys, and the Axis of Resistance, compounded by the chaos in Israel as the government’s intransigence continues, the economy plummets and people flee, one thing’s crystal clear. “The future is a free Palestine from the river to the sea.”
Interview with Rania Khalek of Breakthrough News about my book Zionism During the Holocaust
I explained that Israelis were suffering, not from holocaust trauma, but settler colonial trauma. Their reaction was typical of the slaveholders in the Caribbean who, faced with uprisings by their Black slaves, reacted with unbridled violence. It was the reaction of those who have their foot on the neck of the slave or subjugated and then react violently to any rebellion. It is always the nightmare of the oppressor that their victims will rise up and take revenge.
In the past, Israel’s moral debate about its military actions may have been narrow and hypocritical, but at least it existed. Not this time.
The notion of Israeli forces being the exceptional standard bearers of civilised conduct, reluctantly engaged in violence they would otherwise wish to avoid, has vanished before the colonial settler’s violent logic so commonly found in the West Bank. Be it illegal settlements or orchestrated gang rape, all is fair in hate and war against the Palestinians.
Previously, the Palestinians have agreed to multiple revised American ceasefire proposals. Each time, however, Benjamin Netanyahu added new conditions forcing the resumption of negotiations back from the starting point.

Ilhan Omar Takes Swipe at AOC for Praising Kamala Harris’s Gaza Ceasefire Push
Blinken’s Bullshit Bridge was never explained. It was conceived to simply continue to put the blame on Hamas otherwise known as Gaza. A vacuous Propaganda Proposal for Joe and Bibi at the continued cost of innocent lives. Last week they passed to give $20Bill more arms to Israel. Does that for a moment indicate there ever was a genuine effort for peace? In the meantime Israel is grabbing more land and looting the West Bank and demolishing homes in East Jerusalem

Inside the Push to Get Palestinian Speakers on the DNC Main Stage
In Gaza today, it seems likely that famine will continue to spread and kill until there is a ceasefire. Given current political realities in Israel, a ceasefire is unlikely until the United States halts its recurring transfers of lethal weapons to the IDF.
a crucial question: How has Israeli society transformed to the point where public protest against the wars and violations of Palestinian human rights has largely disappeared?
Colonizing Childhood and Zionist Pedagogy: Interview With Prof….a French child does not wake up every morning to say I am French! I am French! I am French! But the Jewish children have to dramatise their identity, their allegiance, their loyalty. Any Jewish Israeli that refuses to justify his/her presence there is asked to leave for she/he has no rightful place in Israel! There is no escape without really acknowledging the past and then comes the painful decision: what does one do with the past?
Again I want to stress that Israel’s prevailing culture of racism, fundamentalism, support for war crimes and apartheid against Palestinians is partly a product of an educational system that indoctrinates Jewish-Israeli students with militant colonial values and extreme racism that turn them into monsters once in uniform. Many in Israeli society are bewildered by the sadistic, gratuitous cruelty of Israeli soldiers towards Palestinians. Israelis have internalised the message that Palestinians are people whose life is dispensable with impunity and whose presence has to be diminished. One should not wonder then why, at the height of the Israeli massacre in Gaza 2008-2009, a Tel Aviv University poll (reported in the Jerusalem Post, Jan. ’09) of Jewish-Israeli opinion showed a shocking 94% support for the assault despite full knowledge of the enormous suffering this Israeli aggression had inflicted upon the 1.5 million Palestinians incarcerated in the Gaza “prison camp” and of the massive destruction of their civilian infrastructure. More BDS (Boycott Divestment & Sanctions) is needed to end Israeli occupation, colonialism and apartheid.

Israel’s war has never been about 7/10 it’s been ongoing since 1948 and it began with the Zionist terrorist project that began long before that while the West closed a blind eye and subsidised it for their own interests oil.

The Ultra-Orthodox object to Jews praying at the Temple Mount because it is the holy site of the Second Temple and for Jews to pray there before the Messiah comes is impious and defiles holy land. The official Israeli Rabbinate also holds this stance.
The controversy between the Ultra-Orthodox and fascist wings of Judaism comes on top of a building crisis between the Ultra-Orthodox community and the Netanyahu government over the conscription of the Ultra-Orthodox into the Israeli army.
