May 19, 2025:The somber face of Caitríona Perry reporting on Netanyahu getting basic aid trucks into Gaza. Caitríona Perry is current anchor of BBC America. Just like typical BBC bigoted propaganda "journalists" only so happy if and when they can bombard Israelophobia. They, constantly, stream genocidal Hamas provided or/and controlled footage - to shock. Amazingly they can't show adult terrorists being eliminated. Adults - the key. And of course they wouldn't mention cruel Palestine Hamas using = robbing aid as a controlling power.

Summoned Israeli ambassador to Two-tier's Presence, demand that Israel surrender. Lots of sanctimonious platitudes. Halted trade talks. More threats. Israel: GFYS Transcript linked below video.

...With the guidance of former Nazi German munitions experts, Nasser expanded Egypt's chemical weapons program to include the production of mustard gas, chlorine, phosgene, and according to several intelligence estimates, even advanced nerve agents. A short four years later, Egypt deployed this new class of weapons in January 1967 on the small northern Yemeni village of Kitaf, located within the vicinity of the Yemeni tribal opposition's cave headquarters.International media, whose attention had already been drawn to South Arabia by the continuation of hostilities, wasted little time in shining the spotlight and launching full-scale journalistic inquiry into Egypt's use of chemical...

Cannes (France) (AFP) – Hollywood heavyweights Joaquin Phoenix, Pedro Pascal, Riz Ahmed and Guillermo del Toro have added their names to a letter condemning the film industry's silence on what it called "genocide" in Gaza, the organisers confirmed Friday.

The Trump administration has fully implemented the defunding of the UNFPA that it announced back in March and announced today that no new funding will the directed to it. And the pro-abortion agency is unhappy. As LifeNews reported then, Trump has ordered the defunding of the UNFPA, a United Nations population control agency which promotes abortions worldwide. This is a continuation of his pro-life policy from his previous administration. In 2017, Trump signed an executive order defunding the UN population group because it pushes abortions on other countries and has worked with China for decades to implement its forced abortion...

In December the Obama Administration pushed a UN resolution that banned criticism of Islam. The Obama Administration helped the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) push through their resolution condemning the stereotyping, negative profiling and stigmatization of people based on religion. Team Obama led the way for the resolution to pass through the General Assembly. Now the Iranian Regime is threatening to sue Barack Obama using that same blasphemy law. Press TV reported: A senior Iranian official says US President Barack Obama could face legal action in connection with the production of an anti-Islam movie by an American Jew. “A complaint...

Joe Biden’s floating aid pier in Gaza, which was only operational for 20 days in the summer of 2024, was a much bigger failure than initially reported, according to a new Pentagon Inspector General report. More than 60 service members were injured and one died during non-combat duties on the mission, according to the Pentagon IG, although the manner of the injuries was not clear. “Based on the information provided, we were not able to determine which of these 62 injuries occurred during the performance of duties or resulted off duty or from pre-existing medical conditions,” the report said. Army...

Of all the Middle East peace plans that’ve been proposed since 1948, President Trump’s was the first one that featured bearded dancers and casinos. His video representation of “Trump Gaza” (that he posted online) speaks for itself:CLICK ABOVE ARTICLE LINK FOR THE VIDEO One of the PR benefits of adopting an over-the-top persona is, you can’t ridicule what’s already ridiculous. The Economist dubbed the “Trump Gaza” A.I. video “a weird new genre of political communication,” where policy proposals are insulated from controversy under the pretext of absurdism.It’s also funny. And those cocktails look yummy:Donald Trump shares wild AI video clip...

Department of Education newsletter claiming Israel is committing “genocide in Gaza” was sent out to hundreds of teachers — prompting fuming Jewish educators to call it out as another example of ingrained antisemitism in the city’s public school system. The 14-page “Teacher Career Pathways” spring 2025 newsletter — which sports the logos of the city DOE and the United Federation of Teachers union — went out over the last week to “master teachers” across the system’s 1,800 schools. “The genocide in Gaza, among other global injustices, emphasized the urgent need for student voices to be centered and heard,” it said....

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration has decided that the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees is not immune from being sued, reversing the U.S. government’s position that the organization was protected from civil liability.The Justice Department revealed its new stance in a letter it filed in federal court in New York on Thursday as part of a lawsuit that aims to hold the agency, known as UNRWA, accountable for the Oct. 7, 2023, deadly attack on Israel by Hamas. The change in position underscores the hardened perspective toward the agency under the Trump administration following allegations by Israel that some...

If there is a single moment in time in which the fate of Western civilization was decided, it is the battle of Marathon, 490 BC. The Persians under their king Darius landed in Greece, only 26 miles from Athens itself. A vastly outnumbered Greek force marched out to meet them. The Persians had already conquered huge swathes of the Middle East and South Asia. A relative handful of quarrelsome Greeks seemed unlikely to pose much of a challenge to them. But they were. When the day was done, the Persians were vanquished. The idea of Persian invincibility was destroyed forever....

Iran has responded to US President Donald Trump's warning that Tehran must end its support for the Houthis in Yemen. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on social media on Sunday that the US government has no authority to dictate Iranian foreign policy, and it must stop killing Yemeni people. The spokesperson for Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Esmail Baqaei, said in a statement released on Sunday that the brutal airstrikes by the United States had resulted in the martyrdom and injury of dozens of people, including a number of innocent Yemeni women and children. He said the US military...

Fox News is wall to wall with dead-eyed politicians telling you that Iran is a dangerous “sponsor of terror.” Softening up the base for a war. But what exactly does that phrase mean, and how does it apply to the United States? Here’s one measure: over the past twenty years, how many Americans have been killed by Iran on American soil? Try to find that number, and then compare it to the number of Americans killed by drug ODs. Or suicide. Or illegal aliens. Or carjackings, diabetes and the Covid vax. Still think Iran is the greatest threat? How about...

The United Nations rights chief said the parading of bodies in Gaza is abhorrent and flies in the face of international law. [...] Gilad Erdan, former Israeli ambassador to the UN and the US, compared the Palestinians in Gaza to the Nazis in an X/Twitter post. “Even in Nazi Germany, there were Germans who saved Jews. Not a single Gazan saved a single hostage.” Erdan continued, “Many, many ‘innocent’ Gazans took part in the kidnapping & murder, and many more came out today and on October 7 to celebrate the return of Jewish babies in coffins.

Katz said the plan "will include options for exit and land crossings as well as special arrangement for exit by sea and air." Katz welcomed what he characterized as Trump's "bold plan" for...

One can’t help but see the grim irony in a United Nations event on human rights being held in Hangzhou, a major Chinese city known for its technological hubs, co-hosted by the People’s Republic of China (PRC). Perhaps the invitations were printed on forced-labor cotton paper, and the keynote address brainstormed over a surveillance feed of political prisoners. Leave it to the UN to turn hypocrisy into a high art. This past December, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) and the PRC co-hosted the Hernán Santa Cruz Dialogue on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights...
