It is notable how the U.S., the U.K., France, Germany, the EU, and others were so prompt and robust in condemning #Iran's calculated response against the #israeli settler colony, describing the response as an unacceptable attack that is destabilizing the region. Strangely, the israeli unprovoked attack against Iran to which this reprisal offerd a response does not seem to be as unacceptable at all, even when the israelis killed 16 people in their attack against the premises of the Iranian Consulate in Damascus two weeks ago while the Iranians did not kill any in their response on Saturday. Consequently, these countries never condemned in any terms the israeli attack against the diplomatic mission of a UN Member State, with three of them even blocking on the next day a Security Council's statement that would have condemned the israeli attack. More ironically, those states that are so outraged today by the Iranian reprisal were not that outraged by the israelis' murder of 33,700-41,500 civilians within six months as part of the current israeli genocidal campaign in the #GazaStrip, occupied #Palestine! They have the audacity to accuse others of violating international law, while they have been supporting and sponsoring the #israelioccupation's commission of #warcrimes and its full disregard for the UN resolutions, the #IHL rules, and #internationallaw in general. In the same context, last night, the israelis were attending a Security Council meeting upon their request to discuss the matter after violating all the UNGA and Security Council resolutions concerning the question of Palestine since 1948, ignoring the #ICJ orders and AOs, morally assassinating the #UN and its Secretary General for condemning the israeli war crimes, destroying and attacking several UN facilities in more than one country including 145 destroyed only within the last six months, and murdering 178 UN staff within the same six months alone. Some countries continue to be so kind by caring for the people in the #MiddleEast and being worried about the region's destabilization. However, in doing so, they believe that this destabilization can be caused by anyone except their settler colonial ally which has been committing war crimes and acts of aggression against the territories of up to eight Arab states for +75 years as well as other indirect acts of aggression against other states in the region. They keep excelling themselves in terms of double standards and hypocrisy. In all cases, no one should be blamed for any escalation of the situation or for pushing the Middle East into a regional #war except the israeli war criminals and their sponsors, especially the genocide facilitators in D.C., London, Paris, Berlin, and Brussels.

Representatives of Iran's Palestinian allies Hamas and the Islamic Jihad, as well as Yemen's Tehran-backed Houthi movement, Lebanon's Hezbollah and Iraqi resistance groups will attend the meeting in Tehran, said the sources, who declined to be named due to the sensitivity of the issue. 1. Well this kinda validates the proxies work for Iran, if you still needed proof. 2. If Iran’s enemies wanted to collect a lot of high value hits, Tehran might be headed for some hard times in the next 12- 48 hrs. TBD. 3. I don’t think Israel will wait for Iran to have their turn at bat before their next move. TBD. 4. If there was ever a time for the US to piggyback as a supporting effort, this might be it. Unfortunately we have an election coming up and the current administration cares what Americans that support Iran and its proxies think. Isn’t it crazy that if we neutralized one of our biggest enemies/threats that our own citizens would cause mass chaos and disruption from within. We have players and staff in our locker room that support the other team.

Europe is not a civil society anymore

Israel should be isolated by the world for their continued war crimes against humanity in Gaza. The next step is for the USA to stop all military funding! “The UN security council has voted to demand an immediate ceasefire in Gaza for the first time since the start of the Israel-Hamas war, after the US dropped a threat to veto, bringing Israel to near total isolation on the world stage. The US abstained and the 14 other council members all voted in favour of the security council ceasefire resolution, put forward by the 10 elected council members who voiced their frustration with more than five months of deadlock between the major powers. Applause broke out in the chamber after the vote. The text demanded “an immediate ceasefire for the month of Ramadan leading to a lasting sustainable ceasefire”. It also demanded the release of hostages but did not make a truce dependent on them being freed, as Washington had previously demanded. White House spokesman John Kirby later said that the vote did not represent a shift in US policy, but the resolution signaled a significant break between the Biden administration and the Israeli government – and represented a long-delayed show of international unity on Gaza after more than 32,000 Gazans have been reported dead, thousands more are missing, and UN agencies are warning that a major famine is imminent. On Tuesday, a UN human rights expert will deliver a report calling for Israel to be placed under an arms embargo, on the grounds that it has carried out acts of “genocide” in Gaza.” #Gaza #oppression #terrorism #apartheid #Israel #Palestinians #accountability #endtheviolence #endtheinsanity #warcrimes #thereisabetterway #humanity #peace

BREAKING: The WSJ reports that the UN’s Special Advisor on the Prevention of Genocide has been dismissed after refusing to say that the campaign in Gaza fits the definition of a genocide based on the evidence.

Where is the West Media? Where is the Human Rights Organisations? See what these Terrorists are doing openly! Israel's Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir announced plans to continue arming settlers in the occupied West Bank and near Gaza and Lebanon. In a post on X, the minister stated that 120,000 weapons had already been distributed to Israeli settlers since the start of Israel's war on Gaza last October, with many more conditional approvals granted. "We intend to continue arming Israel. That's what we did, and that's what we'll continue to do!," the leader of the far-right Jewish Power Party wrote on October 7, pledging to "fight for complete victory" in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran until all "abductees are returned home." Despite UN calls for a ceasefire, Israel has intensified its Gaza offensive since October 7, 2023, killing nearly 42,000 Palestinians mostly women and children - and injuring over 97,300 others. The conflict has expanded to Lebanon, with Israeli air strikes killing over 2,000 Lebanese since September 23. Tel Aviv launched a ground invasion into southern Lebanon on October 1. Shame on the United Nations Humanrights Organization PLHRF International Court of Justice (ICJ) International Criminal Court Organization of Islamic Cooperation ( OIC ) #FreePalestine #BreakTheSilence #PalestinianLivesMatter #TerroristsIsrael #ISupportHAMAS

Israel is fighting a terrorist organization that invaded its territory and murdered civilians while committing acts of rape and robbery. This is a long war. There are many dead Palestinians, most of whom are family members of those Hamas terrorists. It's not genocide - it's self-defense by a country that wants to continue surviving in the Middle East. Hafez al-Assad murdered 500,000 people in Syria, wounded many and exiled millions from Syria. There is no arrest warrant against him or condemnation in the United Nations - due to the opposition of Russia and China. The ICJ does not judge Syria. There is no proposal from any Muslim or other country in the world to remove Syria from the United Nations. It seems that the UN as an international body for conflict resolution has become - in recent years - an irrelevant organization. Are we facing an international change in which international institutions such as the UN or the ICJ become less relevant and what affects is the affiliation of regional blocs only, similar to the European Union, NATO, Atlantic Alliance, OECD, BRICS and more.
