Biden's Op-Ed on 'The Challenge of Putin and Hamas'
Biden's approval rating just hit a new low, as Americans voice their frustration with his handling of the U.S. Economy and refusal to support a ceasefire in Gaza. But the Biden team is busy writing Op-Eds for the Washington Post on "the challenge of Putin and Hamas."
As Biden continues to lobby for $106 BILLION that includes more military aid for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, he is arguing that the U.S. must fuel proxy wars overseas because it "makes the world safer" and the U.S. "more secure." Yes, really.

Biden Meets Xi Amid Historic Global Tensions w/ Carl Zha
The leaders of the world's two largest economies came face to face for the first time in a year as Joe Biden met Xi Jinping during the APEC summit in California.
Carl Zha joined me to discuss the meeting, where Biden noted the importance of competition over conflict. That's of course, as his administration continues to foster the current tensions with Beijing by keeping Trump's policies in place, expanding the U.S. Military presence in China's backyard, and arming Taiwan, as Biden himself doubles down on the claim that Xi is a "Dictator."

The U.S. Information War w/ Sam Husseini
The Biden Admin continues to refuse to support a ceasefire in Gaza as it pledges support for Israel in the name of “self-defense.”
But what does Israel’s “right to self-defense” actually mean and is it justification for a month-long bombardment of the 2.3 million people in Gaza? And given the extremely high death toll, why hasn’t the Palestinian Authority invoked the Genocide Convention? I discussed all this, and more with Independent Journalist Sam Husseini

Israel’s Bombardment of Gaza is ‘The Second Nakba’ w/ Prof. Jeff Halper
More than 11,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israel’s bombardment of the Gaza Strip in just over one month, with the UN calling the conditions on the ground in Northern Gaza “Hell on Earth” as Israel continues to target everything from schools, to hospitals to refugee camps.
While the Biden Admin says Israel has agreed to allow for a daily “humanitarian pause” for civilians to flee, Prof. Jeff Halper noted that this is all part of Israel’s ethnic cleansing of Palestine, which is why it is being called “The Second Nakba” as hundreds of thousands of Palestinians are once again violently forced to give up their land.

Israel’s End Game in Gaza w/ Brian Berletic
While Netanyahu is already warning about plans to control the Gaza Strip’s “overall security” indefinitely, the Biden Admin is calling for “humanitarian pauses” and reportedly encouraging Israel to just “use smaller bombs” on one of the most densely populated areas on Earth.
Brian Berletic (@brianlovethailand) joined me to discuss the latest, and he noted that Israel’s bombardment of Gaza, which has killed more than 10,000 Palestinians in the last month, wouldn’t be possible without U.S. support:
“This is not the first time Israel has conducted an incursion into Gaza. It’s not the first time they have mercilessly bombed their neighbors. Who is enabling all of this ultimately is the United States. Israel would not be capable of doing this without constant U.S. support. As a matter of fact, the U.S. is pondering money and weapons to be shipped to Israel as they conduct these operations.”

Blinken Threatens Iran, Defends Israel’s War Crimes During Middle East Tour
The death toll in Gaza has surpassed 10,000 Palestinians killed by Israel's bombardment in just four weeks. Yet Blinken's latest trip to the region was focused on ignoring Israel's war crimes, as he tried to sell Biden's bizarre "humanitarian pause" strategy, while Washington refuses to support a ceasefire.
In addition to meeting with leaders in Jordan and the occupied West Bank, Blinken made a visit to Iraq, where he threatened Iran and claimed the U.S. doesn't want conflict (no matter how many military bases it has in the region)

The U.S. is Suddenly Telling Ukraine It's Time for Peace Talks with Russia
While the Biden Admin claims the U.S. is more than capable of supporting two proxy wars at once with aid for Israel and Ukraine, the reality appears to be finally setting in as reports say Washington is telling Kiev it may be time for peace talks with Moscow.
Of course, they leave out the fact that countless lives could have been saved and the last year and a half of war could have been avoided, if the initial peace talks between Russia and Ukraine in Istanbul in March 2022 had been allowed to lead to a lasting agreement (until the West got involved).
But the Biden Admin hasn't learned a thing from Ukraine, and that's abundantly clear as they call for "humanitarian pauses" in Gaza, but refuse to take any action to force Israel to stop its bombardment of Palestine, even as Israel kills nearly 10,000 people in four weeks.

Russia, China and Iran are the ‘Axis of Evil’ - New U.S. House Speaker
Russia, China and Iran are the new 'Axis of Evil' – that's according to the newly elected House Speaker, Mike Johnson, after his first act in office was to oversee a resolution re-affirming U.S. support for Israel, and giving Netanyahu the green light to wage war against Iran.
Meanwhile, the death toll from Israel's complete siege on Gaza has surpassed 8,000 Palestinians—the majority of which are women and children—in just three weeks.
Every U.S. leader, from Joe Biden to Mike Johnson, who says they stand with Israel is really saying they're complicit in genocide, as they continue to enable Israel's war crimes.

NO CEASEFIRE: Biden Admin Backs Endless War From Gaza to Ukraine
While the death toll from Israel's complete siege on Gaza surpasses 7,000, including 3,000 CHILDREN, the Biden Administration continues to justify the genocide as it refuses any attempt at a humanitarian ceasefire.
NSC Spokesman John Kirby claims that the public needs to be prepared for more innocent civilians to die because "This is War." As if it's just a few civilians losing their lives who are becoming ''collateral damage," as the U.S. calls it.
But the Palestinians aren't just being targeted by an unprecedented bombardment from Israel... they're also being cut off from fuel, electricity, water and humanitarian aid. Their homes, schools, churches and hospitals are being destroyed. Israel is committing war crimes left and right, while Kirby claims a ceasefire would only benefit Hamas.
Yet Israel has shown that it isn't waging a war on Hamas right now... it's waging a war on Palestinian civilians who have no way to defend themselves.

Gaza Facing 'Humanitarian Catastrophe', Israeli Bombs Kill 1,000+ Children
The Gaza Strip has been brought to the brink of catastrophe, as Israel continues its relentless bombardment, targeting civilians, journalists, and aid workers, while depriving one of the most densely populated areas on earth of water, fuel, electricity and humanitarian aid.
Despite the countless war crimes Israel has committed—which include killing more than 1,000 Palestinian children in 10 days—the Biden Administration still refuses to acknowledge any of it, instead pledging unwavering support for Israel.

FALSE FLAG? Israel Was Repeatedly Warned About Impending Attack From Hamas
How did Israeli intelligence miss that Hamas was planning such a massive attack? Well, it appears they didn’t. Reports are now revealing that Egypt repeatedly warned Israel of an attack coming from Gaza, but Israeli officials chose to ignore it and focus on their settlements in the West Bank instead.
Now, Israel has not only declared war, but the Israeli Defense Minister said he ordered “a complete siege on the Gaza Strip,” vowing there will be “no electricity, no food, no fuel,” and referring to the people in Gaza as “human animals.”
But despite Israeli officials openly pledging to continue to commit war crimes against the Palestinian people, the West remains silent, and instead continues to pledge their unwavering support for Israel.

When you create the world's largest open-air prison, you deprive the people stuck inside of basic resources, and you continue to infringe upon their land with new settlements... you can't act surprised when they revolt.
Netanyahu's declaration of "we are at war," comes after the Israeli government has spent decades waging war on the Palestinian people through an illegal occupation.
Biden's statement saying the U.S. stands with Israel, and using the classic "Israel has a right to defend itself" claim, is a reminder that Israel's occupation of Palestine and its daily assault on the Palestinian people, is made possible by the support it receives from the U.S.
Zelensky had the audacity to speak out, claiming that "terror has no place in the world," when the Ukrainian Government has spent years terrorizing the people of the Donbass, and has spent last year and a half terrorizing its own people by forcing them to fight and die in NATO's proxy war against Russia.
The hypocrisy is overwhelming today.

UK Addresses British Troops in Ukraine Claims, as Police Target Journalist for 'Malinformation'

But even though many in the Western media are starting to admit that Ukraine isn't winning this war, or coming anywhere close to accomplishing Zelensky's goals of domination over Crimean and the Donbass, that hasn't stopped the UK from targeting an independent journalist with a caution for 'Malinformation' over his videos about the war and the West support for it.

Israel Wants Tony Blair for 'Humanitarian Coordinator' in Gaza as West Criticizes Death Toll
Israel is reportedly asking former UK Prime Minister and war criminal, Tony Blair, to be a "humanitarian coordinator" for the Gaza Strip in an effort by Netanyahu to give his war effort "greater legitimacy."
This, as Blinken says that "far too many" Palestinians have been killed (without saying who killed them), and Macron voices support for a ceasefire to save women and children, as the death toll from Israel's bombardment surpasses 11,000 Palestinians killed in five weeks.
But while the Western politicians may claim to be concerned about the civilians, their actions show the opposite as they continue to make it possible for Israel to carry on with its ethnic cleansing of the Gaza Strip.

Blinken is on another tour of the Middle East, and while this one has included stops in Iraq and the occupied West Bank, it has NOT included Washington’s endorsement for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.
Even as civilians deaths continue to climb, with children making up nearly half of the causalities from Israel’s bombardment, Blinken chose to repeat Hillary Clinton’s claim that a ceasefire shouldn’t be considered because it would be “good for Hamas.”
Blinken’s comments come despite his stop in Jordan where he met with leaders from Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UAE, where they expressed the need for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, and argued “collective punishment,” which is internationally recognized as a war crime, is not a form of self-defense.

Israel is now demanding the resignation of UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, after he noted that the attack from Hamas did not happen in a vacuum, but after the Palestinian people had been “subjected to 56 years of suffocating occupation.”
Guterres also condemned the Israeli bombardment, noting that it has amounted to collective punishment of Palestinians, which is a war crime under international law.
“I am deeply concerned about the clear violations of international humanitarian law that we are witnessing in Gaza. Let me be clear: No party to an armed conflict is above international humanitarian law,” Guterres told the Security Council as he called for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire.

Protests Seen Around The World Over Israel's Bombardment of Palestine
Rallies have been seen around the world, from Jordan, to Libya, to Turkey, to the U.S. Capitol, as people take to the streets in protest of Israel's nonstop bombardment of Palestine.
But while the media ignored the protest held by 'Jewish Voice for Peace' because they were calling for a ceasefire in Gaza, Biden went to Israel to pledge his unwavering solidarity.
Biden's pledge of $100 million in aid for Gaza comes as more than 100 trucks carrying aid have been forced to sit in Egypt, due to Israel's complete blockade on the Gaza Strip, which has included multiple bombings of the Rafah Crossing used to reach the Palestinian people in need.

Israel ordered 1.1 MILLION Palestinian civilians to move to the southern half of the Gaza Strip, ahead of an expected ground invasion (a demand that even the UN admits is incredibly dangerous, not to mention impossible)
Israel then BOMBED convoys, killing at least 70 civilians, mainly women and children, as they attempted to comply and seek some form of safety.
On the same day, Israel killed one journalist and wounded several others with an airstrike.
Israel has killed 15 medical staff and injured 27 this week, while bombing 15 medical facilities, and 23 ambulances and medical vehicles.
Israel dropped more than 6,000 bombs in 6 days on Gaza (one of the most densely populated areas on earth), and used extremely dangerous white phosphorous munitions.
Israel has cut off all water, fuel, electricity, and humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip, which is home to ONE MILLION CHILDREN.
Meanwhile, the Biden Admin refuses to acknowledge any of this, and Blinken claims the U.S. and Israel are superior to other countries because they "respect international law."
Seriously... How many war crimes have to be committed in a single week for the world to wake up to the fact that the genocidal rhetoric coming from Israeli officials isn't just rhetoric? It's their policy, and the West is enabling it.

Trudeau Bemoans 'Russian Propaganda' Amid Backlash for Celebrating Ukrainian Nazi Veteran
Canada's House Speaker is apologizing for celebrating a 98-year-old Nazi veteran as a "Ukrainian hero" who "fought the Russians," during Zelensky's visit to Parliament.
Anyone who has paid attention to history knows who was "fighting the Russians" during WW2, but the fact that Yaroslav Hunka fought for the 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS, which was responsible for the slaughter of millions of innocent people, was conveniently left out of his tribute.
While Trudeau admits this is "embarrassing" for Canada, he quickly jumped to reminding the world to watch out for the dangers of Russian propaganda. Yes, really.
