The US is involved in overthrowing the Assad regime in Syria in order to gain oil resources, keep the US dollar afloat, cripple the Russian economy, and to fight for Israel’s interests. Bankers, multinational oil companies and military contractors are the beneficiaries of the war that has killed half a million people. […]
Israeli soldiers have killed 32 Palestinians near the border fence in Gaza. The Palestinian Authority says that the unarmed civilians have been egged on by Hamas to sacrifice themselves to gain international attention. Israeli fear has caused the dehumanization of the Palestinians who are protesting the loss of their land and their dire living conditions. […]
The airbase houses Iranians, Russians and members of the Lebanese armed group, Hezbollah, Israel’s sworn enemy, whom they attacked in February. Israel refused comment on the airstrike, but it has claimed in its prior attacks on Syria that it is preventing weapons transfer to Hezbollah. Israel is very concerned that Iran is establishing a military presence in Syria. Russia claims there is no sign of chlorine gas or any other substance used against civilians in Douma, the site of the reported chemical attack. […]
Netanyahu announced a UN deal allowing half of the 40,000 African asylum seekers who are in Israel are to be sent to Western countries (Canada, Germany, and Italy), and the other half could stay in Israel, scrapping plans to send them all to Africa. Originally, Israel gave them the choice of being jailed indefinitely or voluntarily relocating to Uganda or Rwanda with $3,500. This proposal was opposed by 25,000 Israeli protesters because many asylum seekers said they would choose prison rather than go back to Africa. Israeli officials now are worried about the logistical challenges of jailing such a large population. […]
The Israelis erected a fence around the occupied territory and declared the fence area a military zone, which means they shoot-to-kill anyone attempting to breach the fence. The unarmed Palestinian protestors are determined to approach right up to the fence. In the ensuing confrontation, Israeli soldiers fired live rounds, rubber bullets, and tear-gas canisters into the crowds. Seventeen were killed and over a thousand wounded on the first day, A video clip shows soldiers detaining a 3-year old Palestinian boy in the West Bank. […]
PM Netanyahu said that the electrified fence along its border with Egypt is necessary to ward off African migrants who are a greater threat than Islamic terrorists. Why? His answer is that they threaten the Jewish state’s national character. [Control over immigration is a right of national sovereignty just as much as we have the personal right to keep strangers out of our homes. Europe and America would do well to pay closer attention to this concept.] […]
US and Israeli war games in Israel are simulating battles on three fronts: Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza in Palestine. A war is expected in Gaza, which may be uninhabitable by 2020 because of the Israeli military blockade of trade. US Third Air Force Commander Lt. General Richard Clark said, “We are ready to commit to the defense of Israel, and anytime we get involved in a kinetic fight, there is always the risk that there will be casualties.” […]
Jerusalem: Christian leaders closed the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, built where it is believed that Jesus was buried. The closing was in protest over new taxes by the Israeli government. The municipal government of Jerusalem issued an order for the seizure of church assets, including property and bank accounts, for new taxes in the amount of $186 million, that they say are owed to the government. Church officials say this is an attempt to weaken the presence of Christians in Jerusalem. […]
This three-part video may be the most controversial video we have ever featured. Predictably, defenders of the Israeli state will challenge the portrayal of Israel as an aggressor. We are publishing this, not as a condemnation of Israel’s foreign policy, but because the commentator, Jake Morphonios, has been incredibly accurate with predictions of events in the Middle East. Now he is saying the aggressive foreign policy of Israel, the Saudis, and the US acting together is designed to escalate into a full-blown World War that will involve Russia, China, and much of the rest of the world. In view of Jakes’s amazing record of accurate predictions, we believe it would be foolish to ignore him. […]
Israel claims that a base in Syria launched a drone into its territory and it responded by sending an Israeli F-16 aircraft into Syria, which was shot down. In a dramatic escalation, Israel carried out major air raids against Syria on Saturday, including what it says are Iranian military targets. Israel now is preparing for war in the north, along the Syrian border. […]
Israel has been bombing Syria for years in an effort to provoke war, and they targeted a city near Damascus that is said to be a research facility related to chemical weapons. Israel’s assault follows on the heels of allegations of a chemical attack on Syrian citizens. In its pursuit of regime change in Syria, Israel has given covert support to al-Qaeda linked groups. This latest attack is part of what has developed into an open state of war between Israel, Syria, and Syria’s Iranian allied forces. […]
A new chemical attack against Syrian citizens has been blamed on Syrian President Assad. Predictably, the US Ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley, is blaming Assad and calling for war before an independent investigation of the event can be conducted. It is highly suspicious that the medics at the scene of the supposed gas attack are the ‘White Helmets’ who are linked to al Qaeda and who previously have been exposed staging fake attacks and providing actors to play the role of victims.
