Syria: soft-hearted Muslims for Israel

Reporting of Federici Studies Center

They burned prisoners alive, slaughtered hundreds of people, even practiced cannibalism. Yet even Islamic terrorists have a heart: Indeed, after occupying the Palestinian refugee camp in Yarmouk, in Syria, they were concerned with looking for the bodies of two Israeli soldiers who died in 1982 and buried in the camp cemetery, then handing over the bodies to the Tel Aviv government to ensure a Jewish burial. Such a touching story (prudently censored by mass disinformation organs) worthy of the Heart book!
Yarmouk, terrorists exhume corpses of Israeli soldiers
Syria – Terrorist groups present in the Palestinian refugee camp of Yarmouk have exhumed the bodies of Israeli soldiers, confirming the close cooperation between terrorists and Tel Aviv.
The Arabic-language al-Mayadeen news channel quoted the deputy secretary general of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (Fplp), Tallal al-Naji, who declared that Isil, the al-Nusra Front and the terrorists of the Free Syrian Army have exhumed the graves in the Yarmouk refugee camp, on the outskirts of Damascus, on orders from Tel Aviv to find the bodies of Israeli soldiers. The order to transfer the soldiers' bodies to Israel was issued by the Israeli command center.

The United States is tearing us apart, but in Italy no one noticed

While bon ton Italy has a good time discussing populism and sovereignism, the Empire strikes again. Mike Pompeo, the secretary of state who came from the CIA (where it leaves, as new boss, tale Gina Haspel, at the time neocon very active in torture and now in fact confirmed in office with the decisive votes of the Democrats), announces "the harshest sanctions in history" against Iran, which could only be canceled if the ayatollahs took appropriate measures. Like disappearing off the face of the earth or converting to Buddhism. There is a basis for the disagreement with Iran, as is known, the Iranian nuclear deal signed in 2015 there USA, Ue, Russia in Onu. For almost the entire world the agreement works and, at a minimum, has blocked Iran's path to military nuclear power 15-20 years. For three countries, however, it is a dangerous disaster. Three against all, but in the three, alongside Israel and Saudi Arabia, there is the Empire, then the table jumps. Bad but that's how empires do it.
In the same speech, but, Pompeo, on behalf of the American administration, clearly explained the fate that awaits us: “We understand the financial and economic hardship this imposes on our friends, but you should know that we will hold accountable those who do prohibited business with Iran. I know that the Europeans want to preserve the nuclear agreement but now they know what our position is".
It's beautiful. Why Pompey, when he talks about “forbidden affairs”, means the businesses prohibited by the USA and the sanctions decided by them, not illicit or criminal business at all. 5 billions of actual trade, others 25 between protocols and agreements already signed and to be implemented. To give an idea: 30 billion was the value of the Italian Stability Law of 2018.

How much longer will we continue to pretend that the Palestinians are not a people?

How much longer will we continue to pretend that the Palestinians are not a people?
Source: Comedonchisciotte
Monstrous. Frightening. Wicked. It's strange like today, in Middle East, the words are simply missing. Sixty Palestinians dead. In one day. Two thousand four hundred injured, more than half from live ammunition. In one day. These numbers are an outrage, an escape from morality, a source of infamy for every army.
And we should believe that the Israeli army is that of the “purity of weapons”? And we have another question to ask. If I'm there this week 60 Palestinian deaths per day, what will happen if there are any next week 600? O 6.000 next month? Israel's squalid justifications (and the crude American response) they raise exactly this question. If we can now accept a massacre of this magnitude, how long our immune system can handle in the days, in the weeks and months to come? Read More

The embassy of death

The embassy of death

After the months spent amidst controversy and mockery, was held on the day of the seventieth anniversary of the birth of the State of Israel the official inauguration of the new US embassy in Jerusalem. However, what the American president had naively declared as a day dedicated to the hope of a "pace” was resolved, as was predictable, in a massacre by Israeli soldiers against the Palestinian civilian population. We don't just want to dwell on the almosts 2000 injured and beyond 50 dead killed by Israeli bullets – packed, shipped and sold directly from the same country that believes itself to be the bulwark of the survival of democracy in the world - to underline an obscene and deplorable situation that no European country deigns to condemn with due attention. It's precisely this lack of coherence, not just media, but sincerely political, which leaves those astonished (like all of us) has witnessed a real transformation over the last twenty years diktat by the government of Israel: not only political and economic dominance, but above all social and cultural compared to a population that has seen its native land usurped, forced to live on a strip of land and, not humiliated enough, denigrated and left to their own devices by the great world powers.

These are the questions any journalist should ask the Israeli army

As these lines are written IDF snipers have killed more than 40 Palestinians near the Gaza barrier and injured others 2,200, a dozen are believed to have been mortally wounded. At the same time you read these words, the numbers have probably already gone up. IDF spokesman used to claim his snipers were 'in danger'. When you hear these words, think aboutoperazione Speedy Express.
Speedy Express was flown by the US Army's 9th Infantry Division in the Mekong Delta in 1969. The US military claimed to have killed 10,899 opposing fighters. He just suffered 244 losses. Being in Saigon, a young genius called Alexander Demitri Shimkin, a veteran of civil rights marches, he perplexed his fellow journalists with a strange pastime: he took the trouble to actually read the official press releases and tabulated what was written.
After a few months, Shimkin put together a strange statistic: the 9th Division claimed to have killed 10,899 fighters but had only captured 748 weapons. Shimkin's conclusion was simple: the disparity between deaths and captured weapons means that the majority of those killed in Speedy Express were not combatants but civilians. It was problematic for Shimkin to find a publisher willing to publish this first example of data journalism and Newsweek published it only in 1972. Nonetheless, the publication caused a political firestorm, with the US military forced to take refuge in the desperate claim that “many guerrilla units were not armed with weapons”. Read More

Towards the end of the West?

Towards the end of the West?
Source: Italicum
With the implosion of the West, Europe will also end?
Trump's decision to have the US withdraw from the nuclear deal with Iran, with the relative restoration of the economic embargo, could lead to a rift with serious consequences in relations between Europe and the United States. Probably Trump's breakup, with the doctrine of America First, compared to Obama's foreign policy, it will mean the end of the West itself, as a geopolitical area that identified itself in the Atlantic alliance between the USA and Western Europe, arose at the end of the Second World War.
With Trump, American unilateralism in foreign policy is reaffirmed and Obama's multilateralism declines, as a phase of American geopolitics characterized by the decline of the world primacy of the USA, due to the emergence of new continental powers, such as Russia, at dinner, India and to a lesser extent Iran itself. Emerging powers have brought about the end of the era of American expansionism on a global scale, established following the collapse of the USSR.
Europe's role in the world itself has undergone a drastic reduction, both economic and political. In fact, Europe is not a unitary political institution, but only an economic-monetary union, which from a geopolitical point of view has not been able to free itself from American dominance. Therefore Europe remained strongly involved in American decline in the world, paying the consequences of their subordination. Read More

"Inattuabile" it is the sovereignist narrative or the pro-European one?

"Inattuabile" it is the sovereignist narrative or the pro-European one?
Source: Maurizio Blondet
So Mattarella, on behalf of a parasitic oligarchy that has ruined the country economically with its servility to Berlin, he warned us citizens and our elected officials against "the sovereignist narrative" - ​​and what it does? Immediately afterwards he attacks with the well-known "pro-European narrative": overcome particularisms, no country can do it alone, “we need more integration” etc.
We need to finally get him and those who repeat this old story, pick up a book, finally, that helps them understand how their "narrative" is fantastic and far from reality.
The book could be that of the professor of Monetary and Fiscal Policy at the University of Siena, Sergio Cesaratto , “Who doesn't respect the rules? Italy and Germany, double standards of the euro" (Imprimatur, 124 pages, 14 euro).
The book proves exactly what it says in the title, which Germany constantly violates, and always to your advantage, the rules of a monetary union; which imposes absurd regulations, which bring the destabilization of weak economies closer, instead of avoiding them; who wants to “obtain the discipline” of countries with high debt, like Italy, “increasing the possibility of a financial crisis”, and claims to "stabilize markets by bringing their breaking point closer", as Walter Munchau of the Financial Times wrote, therefore it is even negative in achieving the goals it proposes, recovery and prosperity.
It's about understanding that Germany, “obsessed with Italian bank bad debts”., has banks that, together with the French, they have toxic derivative securities in their belly for 6899 billion, or 12 times our sufferings. Europe seems to have only one need and urgency: how to force Italy to reduce its public debt, making the markets understand that we are potentially insolvent (and therefore they should demand higher interests from us), when in reality almost 30 Italy has maintained a primary surplus for years, that is, its tax revenues are higher than public administration expenditure (once the interest expense on the debt has been deducted).

L'eterno salvacondotto della Shoah

The eternal safe conduct of the Shoah
Source: Massimo Fini
That Abu Mazen's statements (the Jews would be somehow responsible for the Shoah) are unacceptable, as he immediately declared, among others, also the European Union, there's no need to even say it. One wonders though, as a reader of Il Fatto did (27.4), Mauro Chiostri, talking about today and not about the codified yesterday, whether the State of Israel does not enjoy a special safe conduct based precisely on the Jewish extermination of three-quarters of a century ago. It's a question, for the truth, which many people do but which they do not dare to express publicly for fear of being immediately branded as anti-Semitic, deniers, racists, Nazis. But Israel is a state and should not be confused with the international Jewish community. In less Manichaean years than the ones we are currently experiencing, it was the Jewish community itself that did not want such confusion to arise. And it was logical that this should be the case. Because Israel is a state and, as such, can perform objectionable actions, and even nefarious, but that doesn't mean he has to answer for it, let's say, a Jew from the Rome ghetto. Today, however, this confusion exists and Israel can carry out acts with impunity that would cost other states indignant condemnation, if not worse, of the so-called 'international community'.

Israel prepares for war?

Israel prepares for war?
Source: Aurora site
General Mattis told the US Senate Armed Services Committee that he believes a military confrontation between Israel and Iran in Syria is increasingly likely: “I can see how it might start, but I'm not sure when or where“. This shouldn't be surprising. Anyone peeking through the membrane of the Western bubble, can see the main dynamics “bridging and strengthening” such that they inexorably close in on Israel. It becomes “inexorable”: not so much because the states of the Middle East desire war (they don't want it); but because Israel feels culturally forced to bind itself to President Trump and his team of extremists, placing itself as the first collaborator in the United States' "war" to repel China, Russia, Iran and make their commercial project an ineffective and weakened entity. The belligerent rhetoric of Pompeo and Bolton may seem like an intoxicating elixir to some Israelis; but the Middle East is simply not the place to collaborate in this new US hybrid "war" against the new emerging dynamics.
