On Monday, Jared Kushner, Ivanka Trump, and other members of the Trump administration celebrated the opening of a new U.S. embassy in Jerusalem, while at the same time and just a few miles away, Israeli snipers shot at hundreds of unarmed Palestinian protesters in Gaza. More than 60 people were killed in a single day, including children. Predictably, the U.S. media went into pro-Israeli propaganda mode, blaming all of the violence and killing on Hamas, which for all its many sins, didn’t actually kill anyone this week. On this week’s episode of Deconstructed [on The Intercept], two Palestinians join Mehdi Hasan to discuss U.S. coverage of Palestine and how to get prominent Democratic politicians to take the Palestinian struggle for freedom seriously. Rula Jebreal was raised in East Jerusalem and is an academic and foreign policy analyst. Linda Sarsour, whose parents immigrated to the U.S. from the occupied West Bank, is the co-chair of the Women’s March and

If any country, including the U.S., had armed terrorists embedded in neighborhoods, and holding civilians hostage for years, and targeting unarmed civilians constantly, it too would be using its own military and security forces to fight the terrorists in order to liberate the captive civilians. by Steven Sahiounie Part 3 - Sectarian, constitutional, and dedicated to resistance President Bashar al-Assad of Syria is approaching the end of 18 years in office. His father President Hafez al-Assad died in summer 2000, and the transition was made to his son taking over as the leader of Syria through a constitutional procedure. At the time of the death of Hafez al-Assad, the Syrian Constitution stated there was one legal and recognized political party: the Ba’ath Party, which has a secular and socialist party platform and is committed to the political ideology of the resistance to the occupation of Palestine. However, during the Syrian crisis in 2012, a new

If a chemical weapons “attack” comes to pass in the place it has been predicted, it would be the first such provocation blamed on Assad to take place in territory occupied by a foreign power, likely triggering an intensified military response from the U.S. by Whitney Webb Part 3 - A step up in false-flag provocation? If a chemical weapons attack is again being planned, as reports suggest, this provocation would likely be more significant than previous such attacks and would likely result in a more drastic response from Western powers. This is because Jafra oil field, where the staged attack is allegedly being planned/staged, lies within the portion of the Deir Ez Zor governorate that is under the control of the United States and its armed proxy group, the SDF. Past chemical weapons attacks that have been blamed on the Syrian government, have all occurred in areas held by Syrian rebel groups, such as Idlib province and Eastern Ghouta. If such an attack comes to

Through another great campaign, the neoliberal apparatus attempts to smear anyone who opposes 'bloody Gina' as being, for example, misogynist. The method is known: the neoliberal tools highlight that the Central Intelligence Agency will have its first female Director, and, of course, this is something that everyone should welcome as a progressive step forward. Yet, at the same time, through a kind of trick, these tools make Gina's terrible record of tortures and war crimes magically disappear. Well, how about the women who have the courage to condemn Gina's awful record, like the woman in the following video? Are they misogynists too? Or, how about Kamala Harris, who clearly had 'bloody Gina' in the corner for that awful record? I

globinfo freexchange Σε προχθεσινή ανάρτηση της ιστοσελίδας του Russia Today , αναφέρεται ότι η Ευρωπαϊκή Ένωση σχεδιάζει να σταματήσει τη χρήση του δολαρίου για αγορά πετρελαίου από το Ιράν, μετατρέποντας όλες τις συναλλαγές σε ευρώ. Αναφέρεται επίσης ότι η αποκάλυψη έγινε από διπλωματική πηγή στο επίσης Ρωσικό RIA Novosti. Υπενθυμίζεται ότι, ήδη από τον Απρίλιο (δηλαδή πριν την ακύρωση της συμφωνίας για το πυρηνικό πρόγραμμα του Ιράν από τις ΗΠΑ), το Ιράν είχε ανακοινώσει ότι σταματάει τη χρήση του δολαρίου ως επίσημο νόμισμα αναφοράς ξένων νομισμάτων, αντικαθιστώντας το με το ευρώ. Η απόφαση είχε ως στόχο να ενθαρρύνει κυβερνητικούς οργανισμούς και εταιρίες που συναλλάσσονται με κράτος, να στραφούν προς το ευρώ σε βάρος του δολαρίου. Καθώς το Ιράν αποτελεί μόνιμο στόχο της Αμερικανικής αυτοκρατορίας, εδώ και δεκαετίες, φαίνεται ότι η ηγεσία της χώρας έχει αλλάξει στρατηγική προς μια πιο ευέλικτη εξωτερική πολιτική. Εκτός από τις προσπάθειες που
