Israel Destroyed Gaza ‘for Generations to Come’ and the World Stayed Silent

The first official reference to Gaza becoming increasingly uninhabitable was made by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) in 2012, when the population of the Gaza Strip was estimated at 1.8 million inhabitants.

 The intention of the report, "The Gaza Strip: The Economic Situation and the Prospects for Development," was not merely to prophesize, but to warn that if the world continued to stand idle in the face of the ongoing blockade on Gaza, a humanitarian catastrophe was imminent.

 Yet, little was done, though the UN continued with its countdown, increasing the frequency and urgency of its warnings, especially following major wars.

Now By Fire, Next by Quake, then by Apocalyptic Radiation: Will Gavin Newsom's Atomic Folly Kill Us All?

Los Angeles is now being destroyed by fire. Next will be the “Big One” earthquake everyone knows is coming. And then---unless we take immediate action---Diablo Canyon’s radioactive cloud will make this region a radioactive dead zone.  My family is now besieged by four fires raging less than four miles away.  We don’t know how long our luck will hold. We are eternally grateful to the brave fire-fighters and public servants who are doing their selfless best to save us all. We are NOT grateful that Gavin Newsom has recklessly endangered us by forcing continued operation at two unsafe, decrepit nuclear power plants perched on active earthquake faults, set to pour radioactive clouds on us from just four hours north of here. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s resident site inspector---Dr.

From the Rubble Rises 22 Powerful Voices

Last week, I, as an Executive Producer of FROM GROUND ZERO: STORIES FROM GAZA, was quoted across the country as stating the following: “No filmmaker, writer or artist should ever have to tell the story of their own extermination.”

And yet…

As I write this, in a scattered group of cinemas across the country, movie-goers are watching this anthology of stories captured on camera by Palestinian filmmakers in Gaza amidst Netanyahu’s reign of terror over the past year. This collection of 22 short films of his shameless extermination attempt — the unending barrage of bombs and bullets, the forced starvation — is what the people of Gaza are facing every single day.

And during this hour and fifty-two minutes on the screen, you will feel the pulse of the Palestinian people. Their resilience. And you are right there with them.  They are not Hamas. They are not rapists. They are not lying in wait to murder Israelis. They are not a threat to any human or to Democracy as certain propagandists are hoping you’ll be brainwashed into believing.

Goodbye to the Rule of Law

Updated on Jan 13, 2024 (International crimes)

Although the rich have been getting away with crimes since the founding of the Republic, this concept that no one is above the law at least applied to the proletariat, or the common man. The citizenry has mostly accepted this powerful myth.. That myth is hanging by a thread given Trump’s own crimes, but will be completely and 100% indefensible after Trump pardons the traitors that attacked the Capitol on January 6, 2021.  

Long Live the Young King

This exciting week, the man aiming to become king of everything made his first statements. Greenland should be bought by the United States. Canada needs to be sold to the US. The Gulf of Mexico should be renamed "The Gulf of America".Trump has launched a race for imperial rebranding. France seeks the return of what was once called the Louisiana Purchase. "We sold it very cheap in 1803 for only $15 million because we went bankrupt financing the American Revolution against the cunning British." We want to bring it back - with interest. We also want parts of Kebek that were hijacked from the US. Long live France! ".Not to be left behind, Spain and Mexico have united in a joint lawsuit seeking the U.S. return portions of Northern Mexico and California seized in the 1840s.Mexico was forced to give over 55% of its land to the Americans. Former French nationalist leader Jean-Marie Le Pen, whom I interviewed in the 1980s, said to me: "You Americans have stolen California from Mexico." Now they are getting it back through immigration". "Un bon mot" (words with place), as the French say.Spain has claims to California, which it once ruled. Spain also wants the Philippines and Cuba back.

The War Criminal 'Victim': Netanyahu’s Inevitable Fate

Suddenly, Yoav Gallant, Israel's notorious Minister of Defense, disappeared into obscurity. The man who served in his country's military for about 35 years, in politics for nearly 10, and oversaw major wars, including the ongoing genocide in Gaza, quickly retreated from headlines and political significance.

 In his resignation letter, Gallant accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who fired him on November 5, along with his replacement, Israel Katz, of endangering the country's security. However, he kept his criticism largely focused on the issue of military conscription for Israel's ultra-Orthodox community.
