We are in the middle of a high stakes psychological war on Iran, not that Israel doesn't want to hit Iran imminently, but part of the Israeli pressure is not only on Iran, but on the US too. Will the US sustain the pressure?

"Israel is tolerating violence against its Palestinian citizens to push them out, while weaponising anti-Semitism to pull Jews in." Ethnic cleansing by murder and persecution is genocide. The genocide is not only in Gaza. It is across historic Palestine. www.aljazeera.com/opinions/202...

Here’s why Israel is allowing record murder rates in its Palestinian towns
Israel tolerates violence against Palestinian citizens to push them out, and weaponises anti-Semitism to pull Jews in.

The pundit defense of pedophiles is thoroughly evil. They are using their influence to create permission structures for abusing children. This is something that should be viscerally abhorrent to everyone, and yet they are being paid to do it. Consider what that means.

Netanyahu will visit Trump in February, in the WH. This will be his 7th visit since Trump's inauguration in 2025. Netanyahu is managing Trump's White House like a CEO, making a visit every two months. Netanyahu is managing this WH like no other WH before, thanks to his Trump Zionist donors proxies.

If Israel and the US are not stopped by some force, a lot of harm will be done to the people and the world in the coming years. It is time the UN or super powers other than the US step in and draw some red lines. The situation is untenable.

Note that there is no mention of Gaza in the 'Board of Peace' charter. Trump wants the Board of peace as a blueprint to address other international conflicts by making to the parties offers they cannot refuse so he, his donors, buddies and family can profit from these conflicts.

This is not the 1st time America abandons the Kurds. But for the Kurds, this should be the last. America has no friends and allies in the region but Israel, it works only to further Israeli interests. Since Syria's Sharaa is no threat to Israel, America no longer needs the Kurds.
