Analysis: Five Reasons Why Trump’s Blockade in the Strait of Hormuz Won’t work:
1. It isn’t stopping Iran from selling oil;
2. It won't make Tehran fold any time soon;
3, By summer, Trump won't be able to ignore the squeeze on Americans;
4. It is convincing Iran that Trump can't be negotiated with;
5. It is an act of war that puts Trump back to square one.

The leadership of the Zionists in Palestine admitted from the early 1900s that their theocratic, apartheid colony would have to be built on Palestinian blood, bones & building-rubble.

They protested the UK's ban on the Filton jury knowing - & the press reporting - that the defendants may be sentenced as "terrorists."
Their signs read: “Jurors deserve to hear the whole truth” (referring to the ban) & "Jurors have an absolute right to acquit according to their conscience”.
Interview: "How Hawkish Democrats, from Schumer to Harris, Paved the Way for War with Iran"
"The climate that the Democrats have helped lay in these 20 years of hawkish statements & resolutions... really made Trump’s job easier & has enabled him, thus far, to get away with it."
Dem "opposition" has been "largely on procedural grounds without making a forceful moral case against war".

"All they will find is sand": the demolition of Gaza
Genocide has two phases:
* the destruction of the national pattern of the oppressed group (Israel's bombing);
* the imposition of a design by the oppressor (Gaza reconstruction plans).
Israel's destruction will be so complete that Gazans will never again be able to locate their neighbourhoods, let alone their homes. "All they will find is sand".

Interview: "Palantir Wants To Be The Government"
