  • President Joe Biden is joining with Trump backers in Congress in imposing sanctions on the International Criminal Court - the ICC - because the court issued a statement that Benjamin Netanyahu should be arrested for war crimes. Meanwhile the U.S. is sending more bombs and missiles to Israel as hundreds of thousands of Palestinians flee Rafah.
    Brian Becker is joined by renowned journalist and author Vijay Prashad, the Executive Director of the Tricontinental Institute for Social Research and Chief Editor of LeftWord Books.

No other Party has national reach. Western Europe, Australia, and various other nations around the globe 🌎 where Green Party has power in various bodies with only 3-30 For the Most Part wrote far better or the best laws cuz the other parties need there votes to do anything. And a #GreenPartyPresident has Veto and Executive Order Power, much of which should revert back to Congress. Some independents and other parties aren't bad, but the Independent and Candidate matters. RFK Jr. Is running now a third scam and election, and there serious issues with Cornel West's campaign, although West seems good on Broad strokes and seems like he has some integrity - Why he left the Greens, I'll never fully understand, although Brianna Joy Grey's interview with Stein on her show sheds a little light on that after West came out after her. Anyhow, If there's a a certain type of Socialist, Communist, Anarchist, or a very certain type of Libertarian at the local, state and congressional levels, cool.

      Thanks to social media and spread of information, with a couple of clicks and with courage and human decency, the truth shines for every seeker to recognize. Plan Dalet is a good way to start your search. It details the ethnic cleansing of Palestinian villages and towns from their inhabitants. Search Dier Yassin, Tantura, Ramla, Lydda, Safsaf, Sa’sa, Kfar Qassim and hundreds of other massacres committed by Zionist Hagana, Irgun and Stern gangs in 1947-1948 under the eyes of the British authorities.

      Remember 1948 Deir Yassin massacre = Palestinian Auschwitz committed by the survivors of the holocaust. Boycott apartheid genocidal Israel. Don’t be the last to condemn the colonial apartheid state like you were in South Africa.
      The Zionist apartheid colonial outpost is controlling ALL aspects of our lives. It is though NOT prepared for what the new generation is witnessing live on social media directly from occupied Palestine. Thanks to the social media and spread of information, Palestine is finally freeing us from this plague.
      No state has a right to exist, but every person does. Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, Rhodesia and countless others are states destined to fall and they did. This one is no different. Criticizing Israel is NOT anti-Semitic, the same way criticizing Saudi Arabia is not anti-Islam, criticizing Myanmar is not anti-Buddhism and criticizing India is not anti-Hinduism.
      Demolishing the apartheid state would be OK and in fact be the only way to save everybody including the Israelis. The two-state solution is no longer possible. Zionists stole ALL the land. The only solution left is ONE demilitarized secular state under international control with ALL people with documents showing ownership rights related to the land between the river and sea. We need to abolish all racial and religious favoritism. Refugees should be allowed to return if they so wish. We need to dismantle the apartheid colonial state. Peace will NEVER be realized without justice for all.
      The answer is very clear and everybody should support it. One country from the river to the sea with the two peoples living together in a democratic system is the only solution. Such unitary binational state is advocated by several former Zionists and current historians including Miko Peled, Ilan Pappe, Gabor Mate, Norman Finkelstein, Barnaby Raine and others and supported by the majority of the Arab population of Palestine. The imperial colonial Zionist outpost is not working and it would NEVER work.
      At the height of the extermination campaign conducted by Nazi Germany, they killed 127 children per day in Auschwitz. In Gaza genocide, the Zionist apartheid ethno-national state killed 139 children per day. See the difference for yourself.
      "Land you have to kill for is not yours, but land you have to die for is"
      “Goliath: Life and Loathing in Greater Israel” by Max Blumenthal.
      “Denying people the right of return to their homeland, and at the same time offering this right to others who have no connection to the land, is a model of undemocratic practice.” -Israeli historian Pappe
      “Since its establishment, Israel has engaged in brutal oppression of the rights of Palestinians. Thousands of Palestinians are imprisoned, beaten and tortured; children are taken from their beds and beaten by soldiers who are armed to the teeth.”-Israeli historian Miko Peled.
      "I am a freedom fighter- says teenager Ahed Tamini, the Rosa Parks of Palestine in her memoir “They called me a lioness, A Palestinian Girl’s Fight for Freedom.” This book is an eye-opener and a worthwhile read.
      Plan Dalet, the blueprint of the ethnic cleansing of Palestinian villages and towns started in December 1947 and was FINALIZED by the High Command of the Zionist leadership on March 10, 1947. Not a SINGLE Arab army soldier had entered the Palestine/Israel before the Zionists declared the birth of their state on May 15, 1948. By then, more than 300000 defenseless civilians had already been massacred, expelled, raped, and mutilated and more than 300 villages and towns emptied, destroyed, torched, and imploded with dynamite under the watchful eyes of and with the support of the British soldiers and police, who left the country on the fateful day. The Zionists even ran out of dynamite because of the extent of their barbarity. By the end of that year, 20000 civilians had been killed and 750000-900000 defenseless civilians, 85% of the population who had lived in the land that became Israel, had been rendered refugees. 530 villages were destroyed and depopulated.
      Zionists criminals even murdered the Swedish diplomat Count Folke Bernadotte, the UN peace envoy in Sept 1948 because he was a witness to their crimes. He objected to the Zionist plan of ethnically cleansing Palestine of its native inhabitants. He, by the way, as the head of the Swedish Red Cross, had helped in the release of about 20000-30000 inmates from the Nazi concentration camps in Germany during WW2.
      Videos and resources you might find educational: Warning, they may be difficult to get because of censorship. Hundreds of books were written on the subject too. It is VERY easy to get informed.
      We cannot and should not prohibit freedom of speech to anyone, least those who oppose our government's fascist and violent tactics against our youth, our students, our academic institutions, and our independent journalists.
      The King-Crane commission set up by Woodrow Wilson and approved by the Paris Peace Conference of 1919 concluded that the Jewish minority of Palestine, 6% of the population at the time, would need the help of a minimal of 50,000 British occupying force troops to establish the Zionist dream promised by the infamous Belfour declaration. The British colonial force ended up needing 100,000 soldiers to crush the Great revolt of 1936-1939, during which 14-17% of the male Palestinian population were killed, injured, exiled or imprisoned. Pretty disgusting history.
      And how many years can some people exist
      Before they're allowed to be free?
      Yes, and how many times can a man turn his head
      And pretend that he just doesn't see?
      The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
      The answer is blowin' in the wind
      Yes, and how many times must a man look up
      Before he can see the sky?
      And how many ears must one man have
      Before he can hear people cry?
      Yes, and how many deaths will it take 'til he knows
      That too many people have died?
      The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
      The answer is blowin' in the wind

    It takes just a brief time on the internet watching interviews with Palestinian Lawyers, Professors, Politicians, Teachers, Doctors, Activists etc to know these are remarkably well informed, intelligent and well educated people - they are more than capable of running their own State!
