The Israeli army thus wanted to reiterate the concept already repeated by all of Tel Aviv’s diplomacy to the UN and journalists and later by the spokesman of the despotic and genocidal Benjamin Netanyahu: “The Blue Helmets must leave Lebanon because Hezbollah uses the bases as protection” and the soldiers of 40 nations as “human shields”.

Whatifalthist, a young commentator (younger than me!) is one of the best geopolitics commentators out there today. He has publicly said he thinks this election cycle will result in a US Civil War, most likely this year… But very likely in the fallout years, same way the election of Abraham Lincoln in Nov 1860 took until April of 1861 for Fort Sumter to be fired upon.

The anchor asked panel participant Dr. Tanya Haj-Hassan—an American pediatric intensive care physician who volunteered for two weeks at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip—for her thoughts on the matter.

“In all honesty, a humanitarian crisis is what you deal with when you have a hurricane, what you deal with when you have an earthquake,” Haj-Hassan replied. “This is not a humanitarian crisis.”

Israel is waging a war of extermination against the Arab peoples, said Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, expressing solidarity with the peoples of Palestine, Lebanon and Syria.

"The international media insist that Israel is waging a war against Hamas and Hezbollah. This is not true - this is Netanyahu's war of extermination against the people of Palestine, the Arab people in Lebanon, this is not even a war, but genocide," Maduro said on the television program titled With Maduro Plus, which is broadcast on the Venezolana de Television channel.

Ukrainian accession to NATO could result in nuclear war, Slovak MEP Lubos Blaha told RT on Monday during a visit to Moscow. Slovakia, a member of the US-led military bloc, previously vowed to stonewall Kiev’s candidacy over fears of a conflict with Russia.

The UN special rapporteur on the human rights situation in the occupied Palestinian territories says Israeli forces are committing “another massacre” in northern Gaza’s Jabalia refugee camp. 

In a social media post on Sunday, Francesca Albanese said Palestinian civilians in Jabalia “are killed – both in groups and one by one – amid unspeakable cruelty and sadism” by Israeli troops “who have accepted to be ‘willing executioners’ of a genocidal plan.”

She further noted that the Israeli attacks are being conducted with Western support and weapons.

Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev was stating the “absolute truth” when he criticized NATO countries and their support for Ukraine in a scathing recent social media post, French MEP Florian Philippot has said.  

The European Parliament member was commenting on a post published by Medvedev on Sunday, in which he pointed to the economic problems that Ukraine’s Western backers are facing.
