INDRAJIT—the 1948 Genocide Convention was immediately abused to perpetrate more genocide. ‘Israel’ was founded the same year. It’s only this year (2024) that Israel is finally being indicted for its crimes. Israel’s crime isn’t really genocide, which they’ve been doing for decades. Their crime is doing it too quickly and too obviously, so much so that the International Court of Justice cannot remain blind.

Violent explosions rock US occupation base in Syria
10 minutes readNEWSDESK—A series of violent explosions rocked the military base in the US-occupied Conoco oilfield in north-east Syria on 12 January, following a large rocket attack, Sputnik’s correspondent reported. According to the correspondent, the attack “destroyed the base and its surroundings. American air defenses tried to confront the missile attack with their ground and air anti-aircraft weapons, to no avail … the American occupation army’s air force and helicopters, in the meantime, began flying over the skies of the towns surrounding its bases” in the oilfields of Conoco and Al-Omar.

EDITOR—Danny chats with former British diplomat Alastair Crooke, an expert in Mideast affairs, and geopolitical blogger, on the prospects for peace and justice for the long tormented Palestinians. His conclusion is that Israelis and Palestinians are both locked in a long-term revolutionary struggle with mutually exclusive goals, the Israelis committed to build a biblical “Greater Israel” at the expense of all Arabs, and the Palestinians sworn to create an independent state in the old lands of Palestine, currently occupied by transplanted settler colonialist Jews. Crooke sees no short-term resolution to this conflict, unless the greater powers intervene, which could precipitate WW3.
