BANGKOK, Thailand -- President-elect Trump's blistering portrayal of illegal immigrants eating cats and dogs, plus his tough threats of steep tariffs against China, are expected to intimidate Asians hoping to move to the U.S. or profit from Chinese-U.S. trade.

Mr. Trump's victory however may bring some relief for the leaders of three authoritarian, pro-China, Southeast Asian nations -- Myanmar, Laos, and Cambodia.

"In his first term, he [Trump] did not exhibit interest in the promotion of democracy or human rights," Kantathi Suphamongkhon, a Thai former foreign minister, said in an interview. "This tendency is expected to continue.

"Governments in Southeast Asia with human rights or democracy issues will feel less or no pressure on this front," Mr. Kantathi said.

Those leaders could expect a much less confrontational Washington responding to their countries' lack of fair elections, free speech, and other human rights which are often highlighted by Democratic administrations.

Israel denied two critically injured journalists to leave Gaza for life-saving treatments. Fadi Al-Wahidi and Ali Attar, two injured cameramen of Al-Jazeera TV, are fighting for their lives after they received serious injuries that required treatment outside Gaza. Israel refused repeated requests by Al-Jazeera and human rights groups to grant the journalists an urgent medical travel permit without offering a reason.

Now, the family of journalist Fadi Al-Wahidi has entered an open hunger strike to protest Israel's denial of his right to travel for treatment. His cancer-stricken mother made a passionate appeal for help to all news organizations, human rights groups, and public officials. She stated that she would take part in the hunger strike.  

Under the rules of war and international humanitarian law, Israelis are obligated to treat the occupied people humanely and protect the wounded and the sick. 

Both Fadi, 24, and Ali, 27, were intentionally targeted by the IOF while they were documenting the Israeli war crimes in Gaza. In addition, both journalists have the right to receive treatment.

American soldiers found the Concentration Camps. The Holocaust. Everyone learned about the Holocaust for a reason. Our government built the United Nations, and the International Criminal Court. It prosecuted NAZI's at Nuremberg. Never again, we said. The word “antisemite” had meaning.

Since America and Europe still did not want Jews, the Western powers after WWII gave them land occupied by Palestinians. This resulted in Nakba, which was when the surviving Jews were sent to Palestine in 1947, supplied with weapons, in order to steal the land. This was based on claiming some bullshit about God or religion giving them the rights to steal the land, the homes, the olive trees. Jews labeled themselves as victims and granted themselves the privilege of victimizing others.
