Is it 'hate speech' to report that 70 residential buildings were destroyed in 48 hours in Gaza? - video included
Criticism of one party to the Gaza conflict has been deemed 'hate speech' and illegal by the Australian federal parliament (see embedded Gerard Rennick video below). Somehow, however, the same federal government shows little concern about the actual hate crimes (as opposed to hate speech) being committed in full view of the whole world in Gaza, as in the embedded tweet.
Israeli defense minister calls for October 7 probe
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has insisted on ending the Gaza war first
Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant has called for a state inquiry into the October 7 Hamas attack, contradicting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s position.

Let's talk more about Turkey's role in the Middle East
Is Turkey's role in the Middle East, especially regarding its support or provocation of wars and unrest, underestimated? Indeed, it often seems ignored. For instance, during the ongoing genocide against Gaza, much of Israel's oil has come from Azerbaijan, routed through Turkish ports.

The winner takes it all in Syria
In 1980, the Swedish pop group ABBA released a hit song, “The winner takes it all”. As of December 8, 2024, the armed coalition headed by Ahmed al-Sharaa, formerly known by his nom de guerre, Abu Mohammed al-Jolani, might be singing that song. In every conflict, there are winners and losers. On a scale from 1 to 10, the various factions involved in the Syrian civil war from 2011 to 2024 are rated below.
“Israel is expanding occupied territories at the expense of Syrian lands”, interview with Andrey Ontikov
On December 9, Egypt accused Israel of illegally seizing a buffer zone in Syria. The area extends from the Golan Heights almost to the outskirts of Damascus. Israel troops and weaponry are now within hiking distance of the capital of Syria. Syria is now under the administration of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, an armed opposition group from Idlib, which had been supported prior to 2017 by a covert CIA program.

After 13 years, besieged Syria sadly falls to NATO-backed terrorist invasion from Turkey
We express our sorrow at the fall today of Damascus, Syria, - a secular democracy - to takfiri terrorists backed by Western powers. They are led by Ahmed Hussein al-Shar'a, commonly known as Abu Mohammad al-Julani. The US listed Al-Juliani as a 'Specially Designated Global Terrorist,' in May 2013, and four years later advertised a $10 million reward for information leading to his capture.
Independent indigenous Senator Lidia Thorpe denounces Albanese government's complicity in Israel's mass murder of Palestinians
(PDF containing transcript can be found here) Genocide is reliant on the dehumanisation of others to justify inhumane action. Since 7 October, we have heard Netanyahu describe Gaza as a city of darkness and ask people to flee or face certain death. Of the Palestinians, Netanyahu says: 'We are facing monsters.

Labor digs Australia deeper in Middle East war with B2 bombers on our air-bases
"Australia is clearly taking sides and showing disregard for the many Australians currently in outright despair." The Independent Peaceful Australia Network (IPAN) has expressed alarm about Australia getting involved in the fighting in the Middle East by letting other countries use our air bases up north. IPAN advises that Australia should quickly pull back and not help with the fighting.
Security Council meeting video shows how the US, with its veto and the supply of weapons to Israel, helps murder women, children, doctors and reporters in Gaza
On 22 Second August, Riyad Mansour (pictured) Permanent Observer of the State of Palestine to the United Nations spoke to the United Nations. In that meeting, Riyad called upon all the Ambassadors to the Security Council to come with him to Gaza to see for themselves how Israel is destroying the housing, hospitals, schools and other infrastructure whilst killing, so far, by one more conseravtive estimate, more than 40,000 unarmed Palestinian civilians. Much, but all of the discussion is
As Israel proceeds with its murder of Palestinians in Rafah, doing nothing is not an option - Spanish Social Rights Minister Ione Belarra
Ione Belare (pictured), Spanish Minister for Social Justice, explains that the world can and must act to stop Israel's plans to kill 1.4 million Palestinians in Rafah. Rafah is right on the southern border of the Gaza Strip next to Egypt and is home to about 1.4 million displaced Palestinians, who have taken refuge there. Israel's planned attack flies in the face of a peace agreement having been reached in Egypt between Israel and Hamas.

Armenians from Tavush march to Yerevan to prevent the surrender of their province to Azerbaijan by Quisling President Pashinyan
On 19 April President Ilham Aliyev of Azerbaijan demanded that neighbouring Armenia surrender to it the territory of its northen-eastern-most province of Tavush. Armenian President Nikola Pashinyan raised no objection and, once more, following a pattern of betrayals which followed his installation as President in the US-orchestrated colour revolution of 2018, acted immediately to use the forces of the Armenian state to facilitate this surrender of territory.
Why is Joe Biden enabling the invasion of his own country by illegal aliens?
The United States has an appalling record of meddling in the affairs of other countries, which has often taken the form of outright invasion. The most recent example is its facilitation of Israel's known murder of more than 34,000 Palestinians in Gaza since 7 October last year. And, since he was inaugurated in January 2021, it appears that US President Joe Biden has actually overseen an organised, undeclared, invasion of his own country. Using multiple, government financed NGOs, Biden has facilitated truly massive illegal human traffic from across the globe, via the United States southern border, plus their transport throughout the country. His government has also financed airline passage for many more illegal immigrants. Estimates of how many illegal aliens now reside in the United States are in the order of 25 million. In the embedded video Redacted's Natali and Clayton and their guest J J Carrell rightly label Biden's conduct 'treason'.
Facts about Israel's murder of 34,000 Palestinians in Gaza put to Israeli spokesman on Norwegian TV
In an 8 minute interview posted to YouTube on 30 April 2024, Yama Wolomsal, a Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation anchor, questioned David Mencer, a spokesperson for Israel, about the almost-7-month-old Gaza conflict in which over 34,000 Palestinians are known to have been killed and thousand more are missing, presumed dead, beneath the rubble. By putting to David Mencer facts from authoritative sources including the World Health Organisation, the United Nations, the Gaza Health Ministry and numerous human rights groups, Yama Wolomsal demolished every one of David Mencer's claimed justifications for Israel's war.
Armenians resist further surrender of territory to Azerbaijan by Pashinyan regime - updates from 21 April
Alison Tahmizian Meuse continues with her Twitter/X account @AliTahmizian to report how Armenians are continuing to resist Armenian President Nikol Pashinyan's most recent betrayal of Armenia - his attempt to hand across to Azerbaijan the region of Tavush. (Below is the latest update of 3 May.)

Armenians resist further surrender of territory to Azerbaijan by Quisling Pashinyan regime
(Updates from 21 April) After years of surrender of territory to the neighbouring Azerbaijan, by President Nikol Pashinyan, Armenians have stood up and opposed Pashinyan's latest betrayal, the attempted handover of Tavush, the region painted red on the map in the north-eastern corner of Armenia. Currently, Ilham Aliyev, President of Azerbaijan is allowing the export of oil to the fascist regime of Benjamin Netanyahu which, has, in the six months since 7 October 2023, murdered over 32,000 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. The oil is piped from Baku in Azerbaijan, through Georgia to the north of Armenia, thence through Turkey to its port of Ceyhan, from where it is shipped to Israel. This is in spite or Turkish President Erdogan's supposed opposition to Israel's genocide. In recent nationwide local government elections, Erdogan's so-called "Justice and Development" party was wiped out because of the disgust by Turkish voters at Erdogan's duplicity. Hopefully these protest in Armenia will not only lead to the ouster of President Pashinyan, buy also of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.

Israel could soon start World War 3?!
Update 18 April: George Galloway's guest predicts that Israel will start World War 3 on Saturday.
As the newly-elected UK MP George Galloway recently stated, on Episode 334 of his Mother of All Talk Shows (MOATS), "Will they, won't they, will they won't they, will they they join the dance - Biden says 'no', Netanyahu says 'yes'. Who is going to prevail? How can Netanyahu not say 'yes' because his cabinet have, by a majority, already decided that, within 24 to 48 hours, what will effectively become World War 3 will begin. So, hold your children close and listen carefully to tonight's show, the Mother of all Talk Shows. Who knows? It may be the last time that we ever talk. It's going to be the Mother of all Talk Shows. Stay tuned."
