▶️ While sounds of the Israel-Hamas war echo nearby, an Israeli dance group, joined by American artist and influencer Montana Tucker, performed Friday in southern Israel, in tribute to Oct. 7 Hamas attack victims.
It's a clear sign of the antisemitism at the United Nations that they didn't blast this change out to every major news agency in the world.
"According to data published May 6, of the 34,735 people who have died in Gaza, more than 9,500 were women and more than 14,500 were children. Two days later, the United Nations reduced those figures to 4,959 women and 7,797 children killed while maintaining that the overall number of more than 35,000 deaths in Gaza remains unchanged."

“If you want to know what an unfolding genocide looks like, open your eyes. It looks like the forced famine of 1.1 million innocents. It looks like thousands of children eating grass as their bodies consume themselves, while trucks of food are slowed and halted just miles away.” -Rep. Ocasio-Cortez

Stolen West Bank settlement homes are being sold in America to Jews. An real estate event at a synagogue was set up, and this fine gentleman (a Jewish man) was having none of it.
...in which #Arab leaders have accepted their weakness in material and military affairs and sought to normalize with a much more powerful, Western-backed #Israel.
By contrast, the #Iranians, #Hamas, #Hezbollah, the #Houthis and others chose a more religiously-sound approach. They accepted that the #US could overwhelm them with high-tech “shock and awe” aerial attacks. 👉They chose to focus instead on delivering...
...decisive blows that show that some key aspect of the enemy’s power, some Goliath, such as the air force, is in fact impotent."👈
"👉#Iran and its allies, by contrast, regularly show that they can keep fighting and landing decisive blows.👈 They, like the #Arab peoples led by #America’s allies, 👉are religiously committed to destroying #Israel.👈
As such, 👉helping the Israelis win by taking in #Palestinian refugees, whom the ...
...#Arabs know #Israel would never allow back, is not in the interests of #Arab leaders.👈
Rather, their best bet is to stay on #America’s good side rhetorically and commercially, but 👉to quietly improve their ties with Iran and other #US enemies, and prepare to end their normalization with Israel.👈
The balance of power, which previously forced the #Arab states to avoid fighting Israel and antagonizing the U.S., has shifted. 👉Now the balance of power dictates that the #Arabs prevent #Israel from winning and avoid antagonizing #Iran and their own publics.👈
But the balance of power has not shifted enough for #Arab leaders to disengage from the U.S.,...
Continuing this train of thought, however, this leaves only dire outcomes for the #Israelis and the #Palestinians:
If no #Muslim country will grant them refuge for political reasons, a lot of the #Gazan#refugees will die on that border wall...
...There will never be peace in #Palestine, not even if there were a #TwoStateSolution, placating the #Palastinian population, neither the #Sunni, nor rhe #Shia neighboring countries will stop their hostilities until the whole of the #Israeli state is eradicated from the map.
If #Trump should at last really get his second term as president, the global balance of power will further shift even further towards #America's antagonists...
...are in a position of probably maximum historic strength.
So, right now would be the time for both to negotiate.
Alas, the leaders of the two peoples are arguably the worst combination in decades: their chief (only?) aim is to remain in power.
So, we have two peoples, and two groups of leaders, whose aims are or should be aligned, but whose, likewise aligned, leaders make a solution impossible.
A cataclysmic irony of fate.

Mid March is the long run for many Gazan refugees, Mr. President!
Even though the saying goes, each country gets the government it deserves. Even a democratically elected government is not the same as its people.

"#Lula is not completely in error if we consider more qualitative aspects of history & look to European fascism as a whole and not just the German National Socialists (who were peculiar in many ways)."
Agreed.
#Hitler, on the other hand, stands for the systematic destruction of a people on an industrial level including its culture. Even, #Putler, as I, too, have started calling him, falls a bit short by this measure.
Many years ago, the late German Chancellor Dr. #HelmutKohl hat a PR disaster when he compared a #Sowjet minister to the infamous #Nazi Propaganda Minister, #JosrphGoebbels.
Thus, #Lula's #Hitler comparison is very much out of...
More importantly, it indirectly "normalizes" #Hitler's crimes against humanity by diminishing them, relatively speaking.
Even if the #Netanyahu Government really did plan the mass flight of the #Palestinians and even their eventual resettlement in #Africa, it simply would still be (fortunately) way below the atrocities committed by the big slayers of the Modern Age.
