with: "The international community must not treat the Israeli campaign as a media dispute or political argument - but as an official attempt to intimidate the independent press, human rights organisations, witnesses, and victims, and to obstruct international accountability. Smear campaigns, and threats of prosecution will not erase victims’ testimonies, invalidate documentation by independent UN / human rights bodies, turn denial into truth, or exempt Israel from its duty to open its prisons and its detention centres to independent investigation."
"U.S.lawmakers are joining Benjamin Netanyahu in pushing for closer integration of the Israeli & U.S. militaries.Critics warn this will give Israel 'dangerous leverage' over U.S. foreign and defense policy"!
"U.S. lawmakers are joining Benjamin Netanyahu in pushing for closer integration of the Israeli & U.S. militaries. Critics warn this will give Israel 'dangerous leverage' over U.S. foreign and defense policy"!
Which ends with .. "Structurally, the two important continuities are these: 1) the distinction between a radical right and moderate establishment right in the Republican Party is nonsense; 2) Congress and both parties have long abandoned a role in limiting the power of the president when it comes to war."
"Pariah state Israel, appears determined to wreck any chance of peace between the US and Iran.The settler-colonial state has kept hitting Lebanon after failing to achieve its major aim; regime change, in the war it coaxed a rudderless Donald Trump into starting."
“Every moment - I connect my life now to those years after the Nakba," says 85-year-old Fatima Ibrahim Khalfallah. "This Nakba is even more terrifying, more deadly, more destructive .. the same hunger, thirst, and fear — but multiplied many times over.”
AND SO CONSIDER: "The illegal US-Israeli war on Iran is exposing the Oil-Dollar-Wall Street complex that binds oil, financial markets, and dollar power, with consequences that reach far beyond the region."
NB: "The founder of Consortium News in 2015 foresaw Benjamin Netanyahu, despite leveling false charges of antisemitism, turning Americans against Israel by going too far with the Palestinians and Iran."
"As a declining imperialist system lashes out to preserve its declining order, working-class organisation becomes not only necessary for the oppressed of the world but indispensable to human survival" EVERYWHERE!! Further note:
"Since the financial crisis of 2008, the world economy has experienced slow growth, high debt, declining productive investment, and deep social inequality. The most dramatic declines have been in the economies of the North Atlantic, which continue to suffer what we call the Third Great Depression.
"The United States and its allies have failed to resolve these economic problems or offer a credible social project. As their control over finance, technology, and natural resources has weakened, decadent and dangerous elites have sharpened their control over information and escalated warfare to sustain their global order. This is the phase of hyper-imperialism.
"The evidence of these hyper-imperialist attacks is clear: China, Cuba, Iran, Lebanon, Palestine, Venezuela and Yemen are all targets. These dynamics are intensified by the New Cold War, in which the United States seeks to contain the rise of China in particular and the shift of the centre of gravity to Asia in general.
"These developments make it clear that the central contradiction of our era lies between a declining imperialist system attempting to preserve its dominance and the aspirations of peoples and nations seeking sovereignty, development, and social justice.
"That is why the decisive question before humanity is organisation. Can the working classes and oppressed peoples build sufficient organised power to intervene independently in this crisis? This is the central challenge of our era.
"The future will not be decided by the calculations of elites or the benevolence of institutions. It will be decided by organisation.
"The ruling classes are organised globally through corporations, banks, media systems, and military alliances. The peoples of the world must organise with equal seriousness. This requires patience, ideological clarity, and confidence in socialist politics, not as nostalgia but as necessity. Unity is essential. A living left will always contain different traditions and debates, but we must recognise the principal contradiction between labour and capital, between the vast majority who produce social wealth and the tiny minority who appropriate it.
"Socialism is no longer merely an aspiration. It is a condition for human survival. But socialism will not arrive spontaneously. It must be built through struggle, through institutions of popular power and through organised movements rooted in the daily life of the people."

NB "October 7, 2023, early morning, Israel's police command center: "(Strike) Gaza. Break it all apart. Along with the soldiers who got abducted"!!!
"In the first hours of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood - while conversing with Israel's Police Chief Kobi Shabtai, another senior officer calls to implement the Hannibal Directive, & destroy Gaza along with the Israeli captives. Minister Itamar Ben Gvir later arrives & orders to stop filming the meeting." Aired on Channel 12 on February 12, 2026"!!
STARTS WITH ... "Neoliberalism, better understood by its less sanitized term cutthroat capitalism, is the poison that destroyed our democracy. It gave the billionaire class and corporations the ideological cover to impoverish the working class, impose crippling austerity, hollow out democratic institutions,buy off our two ruling political parties and deform our courts into appendages of corporations and the rich."
& ENDS WITH ... "Trump and his fascistic cabal, epitomized by billionaires such as Peter Thiel and Elon Musk .. are constructing a mafia state. A nation of gangsters and marks. A nation where they alone have unlimited freedom to pillage and exploit. A nation where the government is privatized. A nation where we are all enslaved to Corporate Technology. A nation where we have no place.We must name our enemies this Fourth of July. They are the Fascists who have seized power. And they are those who, selling us the con of Neoliberalism, put them there."
Consider - "It has become so widely accepted that the US lost the war with Iran that now even American Neoconservative hawks admit it. Ben Norton explains why the major neocons like Robert Kagan and Bill Kristol, have turned against the war. They lament that Iran's victory reflects the decline of the US empire and the transition to a more multipolar world order."
"Israel ordered the 'Hannibal Directive' on October 7 by ordering the killing of captive Israeli soldiers and civilians. But the US media continues to hide the truth." From July 2024 - & very highly relevant!!
AND SO CONSIDER: "The illegal US-Israeli war on Iran is exposing the Oil-Dollar-Wall Street complex that binds oil, financial markets, and dollar power, with consequences that reach far beyond the region."
"A recent poll registered Israeli support for the war on Iran - at a whopping 93%. Between the genocide, the ethnic cleansing, and the annexations, Israelis now think this is how it is meant to be. Constant war to sustain our constant expansion."
