"For decades, Western and Israeli policy alignment — expressed through U.S. diplomacy, European funding mechanisms, and Israeli security doctrine — relied on a stable pattern: military assaults, humanitarian aid, diplomatic statements, and a return to routine governance. Each round of destruction was framed as crisis and then absorbed back into normal operations. The current phase in Gaza cannot be absorbed. The scale of killing, displacement, starvation, and infrastructural collapse has overwhelmed the mechanisms designed to contain it." -Rima Najjar- countercurrents.org/2025/12/gaza-c…

"I actually believe that Trump may not have known while his cabinet members probably did. This is what happens when you have a clown in power who doesn’t understand basics about geopolitics. Trump has created a monster he can’t control and it is obvious to everybody, maybe except for him." -EL-

Trump is afraid, and he knows how little control he actually has at this moment. They struck Iran’s South Pars gas field, one of the largest natural gas reserves in the world, shared with Qatar and critical to Iran’s domestic energy supply and electricity generation. In response, Iran targeted major energy infrastructure across the region, including a strike on one of Qatar’s largest LNG facilities, which accounts for roughly 20% of the global liquefied natural gas supply, along with additional targets in Saudi Arabia. Israel claimed that Donald Trump was informed in advance of the strikes, while Trump publicly denied any prior knowledge, insisting the United States was not involved and even calling for an end to attacks on energy infrastructure. The messaging is completely uncoordinated they can’t even align on a consistent narrative or explain why. Time and again, Israel’s statements are putting Trump in an awkward and undermined position. Reports from outlets such as Axios say that The US knew everything. I should say more accurately they suggest that elements within Washington were indeed aware, I wonder who are those elements? Now I actually believe that Trump may not have known while his cabinet members probably did. This is what happens when you have a clown in power who doesn’t understand basics about geopolitics. Trump has created a monster he can’t control and it is obvious to everybody, maybe except for him. Other escalatory actions have gone largely underreported by propagandist media for example strike near Iran’s Bushehr nuclear facility constructed with Russian involvement and long considered off limits due to the presence of foreign technicians (And not just Russian). Yet these moves have failed to produce their intended outcomes. Iran has not collapsed internally, nor has it exhausted its missile or drone capabilities. On the contrary, the tempo of Iranian strikes appears steady, for a second it seemed it was dying down but, seems like that’s not the case. while reports suggest that Israeli air defense systems extremely strain.

Clear agenda from the interviewer. Seyed exposes the lack of journalistic integrity-embarrassing.

Fox News is absolutely panicking. They are crying on air about how the American public is waking up and supporting the resistance. They call it 'anti-Americanism', but the truth is people are just sick of the US and Israel destroying the Middle East.

Block the straight of Hormuz for a week and the world goes mad but block the Rafah crossing for years, preventing the entry of food and humanitarian aid into Gaza and nobody bats an eye. It’s not hard to see that this world values markets, profit and capitalism over human lives.

Watch Netanyahu. He is the quintessential Israeli, ignorant yet condescending, foaming at the mouth with paranoid greed, realizing that he has bitten off more than he could chew and trying to force it down everyone's throat. Seemingly invincible, rotten to the very core.

What??

The uncovering has begun. If only more EU governments showed the resolve of Slovenia. Forward and upward. #DecolonizeMultilateralism

Seven clocks are running. None of them negotiable. All of them counting down to the same weeks. The planting clock. Mid-April is the biological deadline for corn and soybean planting across the US Midwest. Every day that passes without nitrogen becoming affordable and available narrows the window for corn. USDA projects corn falling to 94 million acres from 98.8 million. Soybeans rising to 85 million from 81.2 million. The seeds that go into the ground in the next three weeks determine America’s grain harvest in October. The decision is irreversible. The USDA clock. March 31. Prospective Plantings. The report that converts farmer intentions into official data. Every acreage number, every corn-soy ratio, every nitrogen-dependent calculation becomes a published fact that traders, governments, and food agencies will use to model global supply for the next twelve months. The number arrives in twelve days. The FAO clock. April 3. The Food Price Index. The first global reading that captures post-Hormuz commodity prices across cereals, vegetable oils, dairy, meat, and sugar. The 2022 peak was 159.7 in March 2022 after Ukraine. This reading will incorporate oil above $100, urea at $610, LNG halted, packaging repriced, and freight surcharges of $500 to $1,500 per container. The number that determines whether the UN declares a food emergency arrives in fifteen days. The pharmaceutical clock. India’s API inventory buffers are two to three months, measured from the war’s onset on February 28. Late May is the depletion window. Methanol at 87.7 percent Hormuz exposure feeds the solvent chain for paracetamol, ibuprofen, metformin, and antibiotics. Once buffers deplete, the shortage becomes a patient access crisis for the 47 percent of US generics that originate in India. The China crude clock. FGE NexantECA confirmed China is drawing commercial reserves at up to one million barrels per day. The draw sustains refinery operations for four to six weeks from March 19. Mid-April to late April is the exhaustion window. After that, China faces three options: accelerate Russian pipeline imports, reroute at massive premium, or crack open the strategic petroleum reserve. The third option reprices every commodity on the planet. The helium clock. SK Hynix and Samsung hold two to three months of helium inventory. Late May to early June is the depletion window. South Korea imports 64.7 percent of its helium from Qatar. Ras Laffan is offline. If helium buffers deplete before alternative supply arrives, semiconductor fabrication faces rationing. The AI hardware supply chain hits a physical wall measured in months, not quarters. The insurance clock. Solvency II requires 30 to 60 days of zero incidents before P&I clubs can reinstate war risk coverage. Even after a ceasefire, the insurance normalisation takes six to sixteen months based on the Red Sea precedent of 26 months and counting. The logistics system lags the financial relief rally by the longest duration of any clock in this crisis. Seven clocks. The shortest expires in twelve days. The longest runs for over a year. The planting window, the USDA report, the FAO index, the drug buffers, the Chinese crude draw, the helium inventory, and the insurance cycle are all counting down simultaneously. None of them pause for diplomacy. None of them respond to presidential directives. None of them read sealed packets. The calendar is the only actor in this war that has never lost a negotiation. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

“Oh I only got booed at the mosque cos extremists” is disgustingly defamatory of all Muslims who were there. Maybe they don’t like your support of genocide, your failure to condemn Israel’s attacks on Lebanon, the illegal war on Iran? No. According to @AlboMP they booed him because they’re supporters of extremists. You disgusting, racist, genocidal little man

Journalist Walaa Jamea barely holds back her tears as she vents her grief and pain of being unable to visit the graves of her murdered family members since they are buried in a cemetery behind the yellow line. She adds," She doesn't know if Israel spared the graveyard from its destruction machine, recounting Israel's previous defilement and desecration of graveyards in Gaza."

Some of our blindfolds were removed and the Israeli commander pulled out his phone and showed us a picture of a dog eating a corpse. He said, “This is what will happen to anybody who lies to me.” electronicintifada.net/content/what-h…

In Australia, if you criticise Jewish supremacy you'll be tried by a Jewish judge and jailed for a year. If you're a Jewish paedo you'll walk free. ...but if you're Israeli President Herzog, wanted by the ICC for war crimes/crimes against humanity, they'll roll out the red carpet

@MuntherIsaac I'm offended that he's still alive.

This quote by Netanyahu is offensive on multiple levels. It not only compares Jesus to Genghis Khan, but also suggests that the way of Jesus is naive, while a ruthless, “might makes right” approach—marked by relentless aggression—is what ultimately allows good to overcome evil. Netanyahu, and his Christian Zionist supporters, are making a mockery of the ethics of Jesus. That is the true offense.

I’ve gained a lot of new followers since I recorded this video a few weeks ago, the last time I was able to enter Kfarkela before it became an active war zone so I’m sharing it again so people can understand the breadth of the destruction of the southern villages in Lebanon. This is what ethnic cleansing looks like. Kfarkela and Markaba, occupied south Lebanon. The Israelis destroyed most of this after the ceasefire was implemented Cameraman: @aliezzedine7

And a Labor Australian Govt was the first to support the US in their bombing of Iran. It’s just unbelievable. What a betrayal #auspol

Israel created these illegal kill zones in Gaza and has now done it in Lebanon. The impunity the world has afforded Israel for murdering journalists, healthcare workers and leveling entire cities is how we got here. How much more will Israel get away with before enough is enough?

Absolute bombshell. The US Treasury Secretary admits on live TV that they are unsanctioning Russian and Iranian oil just to manipulate global prices and save their own economy after starting a disastrous war. The hypocrisy of Washington is fully exposed.

You speak as if this violence appeared overnight..as if history began yesterday. For over 15 months now, our villages have been under fire, our people buried, our lives torn apart. And before that? Decades upon decades of the same story 1936, 1948, 1950, 1956, 1967, 1978, 1982, 1996, 2006, and now again in 2023 2024 and 2026. This is not new. This is a pattern. So where was this outrage then? Where was this moral clarity while generations of our parents and grandparents were being killed, displaced, erased? Your child asks why we cannot live in peace and that question alone exposes the tragedy. Because how can peace exist when one side grows up shielded from the truth, unaware of what has been inflicted on others for decades? What kind of understanding is that built on? There is something deeply unjust about raising a child disconnected from reality, from history, from accountability. Because ignorance is not innocence... it is learned silence in the face of suffering. Do not lecture us about peace while denying the very conditions that make peace impossible. تفو... بلا أخلاق صحيح.

Pete Hegseth accuses Iran of investing in missiles and weapons instead of people, during a speech in which he's asking for $200 billion for weapons, instead of people.
