JONATHAN COOK—After its mass ethnic cleansing operations of 1948 and 1967, Israel tried to manage the remaining Palestinian population through the traditional apartheid model of herding the natives into reservations, as its predecessors did with the remnants of the “locals” who survived their efforts at extermination.

CAITLIN JOHNSTONE—If you’re just tuning in, Israeli intelligence ignored mountains of information that the October 7 attack was coming and left Israelis completely undefended, then the IDF killed significant numbers of Israelis with indiscriminate fire and pinned the blame for 100% of Israeli deaths on Hamas, and all those deaths are now being used as justification to push Gazans off their land to the south and shoot them if they try to return while Israeli officials keep talking about how great it would be to get all Palestinians out of all of Gaza. Such a crazy coincidence how every single step of Israel’s military operations against Hamas in Gaza has looked exactly the same as what you’d expect to see if Israel was trying to permanently drive Palestinians off a large stretch of Palestinian land. This isn’t a war against Hamas. It’s not a war at all. It’s a military operation to facilitate an ethnic cleansing. Hamas aren’t the targets, it’s the excuse.

A critique of the recent article in The New Yorker Magazine by Evan Osnos, “China’s Age of Malaise”
145 Mins readJEFF J. BROWN—Baba Beijing did not elect Xi Jinping because he was going to be China’s Gorbachev and sellout the people to Wall Street and NATO. They elected him, because they knew he had what it takes to be China’s 21st century Mao, to defeat Uncle Slaughter and its global Wehrmacht. It is almost comical how MSM writers transform in lockstep the West’s enemies’ leaders into cardboard cutouts, Dell Comic fiends. From Lenin to Stalin and Mao to Xi, the descriptions become lurid and fantastic, like lumbering James-Bondesque Frankenstein evildoers hellbent on snuffing out humanity.

MARGARET KIMBERLEY—The horrific scenes of carnage have evoked revulsion for millions of people in the United States and around the world. Huge protests have taken place nationally and internationally and the zionists find themselves on the public relations defensive but will not concede defeat. They are using brute force to dox, damage careers, end careers before they start, withhold funds, and use other means to silence righteous indignation over Israeli war crimes.
