FRC’s Tony Perkins is a rabid “Christian” Zionist hypocrite who staunchly supports genocide while fighting abortion
Tony Perkins, the president of Family Research Council, sent out a flyer to subscribers lamenting that “America is falling in its stand with Israel, but we won’t.”
He goes on to invite folks to join FRC this week as we stand with Israel and pray for “peace of Jerusalem.”

Wouldn’t that lapel pin look great on my Free Palestine T-shirt?
I wrote to Tony at the address linked below and asked him:
How is it that you defend the lives of the unborn but promote the genocide of Palestinian children?
You are invited to do likewise. Tony REALLY needs to hear from us.

What I don’t understand is how all the defenders of Palestine keep blaming ONLY the Israel lobby AIPAC but very few seem to understand the power and danger of Christian Zionism, which is even more dangerous because its adherents are impervious to reason, facts and logic. Religion cancels out all cognitive processes in these fanatics and makes them incapable of grasping even the Biblical truth that this Satanic doctrine is the diametric opposite of what Jesus taught.

Monday 11 March 2024 02:33
US strategy in Yemen: Biden failed to restore deterrence!
The United States has set a primary goal in its military intervention in Yemen, which is “restoring deterrence.” While these strikes varied between air strikes and naval attacks, and which numbered about 230 strikes, they did not bear fruit and have not achieved any of their goals yet. The ongoing Yemeni military operations in the Red and Arab Seas indicate the failure of the American strategy to deal with this imposed reality, especially since it is restricted by a number of margins that make amending it difficult.
Yemeni military operations have taken an escalatory path recently, after their pace during the past period had maintained almost constant. The number of targeted ships increased to more than one within 24 hours, and the decision was taken to move from simple prevention and targeting to sinking. As a result, the door was opened to a wide debate about the feasibility of this adopted strategy, which in essence contradicts the slogan raised by US President Joe Biden upon his arrival to the White House, which is to achieve “peace in Yemen.” Accordingly, he took a number of measures: Just two weeks after assuming the presidency in January 2021, Biden took three main steps. First, he removed the “Ansar Allah” movement from the list of foreign terrorist organizations that was drawn up in the last days of former President Donald’s term. Trump. Second, he appointed Tim Lenderking as special envoy to Yemen. Finally, he announced that Washington would stop supporting Saudi offensive operations in Yemen, and declared that the war must end.
ResponsibleStatecraft magazine says in a report that “restoring deterrence is the rationale most often given for this type of US strike, which was expressed on Capitol Hill by those who support the new attack on Yemen.” The magazine adds in its talk, which criticized the feasibility of the American strikes, that “what is forgotten is that the other party has no desire to restore deterrence less than the desire of the United States. This means that an American attack stimulates counter-retaliation instead of making the opponent tremble in fear of what the army might do.” "The American army then. The repeated retaliation between the United States and some militias in Iraq, where the 2,500 American forces there are frequently attacked, demonstrates this dynamic."
The US strategy in Yemen is limited by several margins. First, the presidential elections are just months away. During his campaign, Biden is supposed to present the achievements he has made to the American street. In this regard, he faces two things: the first is his inability to impose peace in Yemen, which is what he previously promised, and his inability to stop or limit operations, which is the slogan he recently raised. On the other hand, an Israeli military operation in Rafah during the month of Ramadan will make matters worse.
The other matter is based on the American-Israeli unwillingness to expand the scope of the conflict or complete extremist military involvement against Yemen, which makes the American and Western surplus power restricted, especially since they sensed the limited feasibility of operations targeting the Yemeni depths.
On the other hand, the failure to impose the American agenda prepared for the waterways in that particular geographical spot opens the door to another kind of controversy related to American ability as a whole and the decline of hegemony. Washington, which employed its fleets and diplomatic efforts to prevent the expansion of the war beyond the walls of occupied Palestine, and then took it upon itself to stop military operations in the Red Sea, did not succeed in what it committed itself to.

Monday 04 March 2024 03:21
Berlin Film Festival: Racism towards Palestinians must stop
The Hebrew newspaper Haaretz discussed German extremism against the Palestinians specifically in various aspects of life, especially with regard to what happened on October 7, she said in a report translated by the “Trenches” website that during the awards ceremony at the Berlin Film Festival, Ben Russell, the American director, went up to the stage wearing a keffiyeh, and condemned Israel’s actions in Gaza and described them as genocide. Other filmmakers called for a ceasefire.”
Translated text:
In Germany, it is acceptable to criticize Israel, and this is not considered anti-Semitic. But deep prejudice against Palestinians, left-wing Jews and Israelis, all in the name of supposed accountability for Germany's anti-Semitic past, has reached alarming levels.
[I think this attitude betrays a certain lack of intelligence]
Shortly before No Other Earth won Best Documentary at the Berlin International Film Festival, I moderated a panel discussion at the festival alongside a group of filmmakers, including Basil Adra and Yuval Abraham, the film's protagonists and two of the film's co-creators, ie, the Palestinian-Israeli team that made it.
The documentary tells the story of the home demolitions and forced displacement of Palestinian communities in Masafer Yatta – a group of West Bank villages in the South Hebron Hills that are at the heart of a decades-long and now accelerating conflict between the Palestinian communities that live there, on the one hand, and the Israeli government and army, and the extremist settlers on the other.
During our discussion, Adra, who is Palestinian, and Ibrahim, who is Israeli, described their cooperation as one of “joint resistance rather than coexistence.”
As the film shows in harrowing detail, Adra and Ibrahim use their voices and cameras to fight back against, and highlight systemic discrimination against Palestinians in the West Bank. It is a reality that can best be summed up in a term that Germans do not like to hear: “apartheid.”
Abraham used the term to describe the disparate realities he and Adra live every day in their homeland. In his acceptance speech upon receiving the top prize at a film festival known as the Berlinale, Adra then went on to plead with Germany to stop arming Israel in its war against Hamas. In Gaza, which witnessed a catastrophic loss of civilian lives in Gaza. About 30,000 Palestinians were killed, the vast majority of them civilians.
Their statements sparked an immediate backlash, with journalists working for news organizations owned by Axel Springer, a right-wing media company that is openly pro-Israel, leading the attack.
Reports quickly spread across the majority of German media outlets denouncing the Berlinale speeches as an "anti-Semitic scandal", leading to sharp reactions from high-ranking German politicians which then captured the attention of the Israeli media as well. In the wake of damning press coverage, Abraham received death threats so severe that he had to delay his return home. Even his family home became the target of a right-wing Israeli mob.
The fallout from Abraham and Adra's comments, and other critical voices at the film festival awards ceremony, exposes a long-standing problem in Germany where critical discourse on Israel and Palestine is quickly characterized as anti-Semitic, closing off the possibility of thoughtful or thoughtful discourse. As a German, I am disturbed and ashamed by what happened at the Berlinale and the broader direction it points to. The neglect of Palestinian voices, as well as the increasing marginalization of left-wing Jews and progressive Israelis, all in the name of supposed accountability for Germany's virulently anti-Semitic past, has reached alarming levels of political distortion. [The German authorities simply do not understand that the Holocaust was not specifically an anti-Jewish phenomenon, it was much broader than that and stemmed from the German mindset that rejects people not on the basis of their own personal self worth or merits but rather on their race and their membership in certain groups thought to be objectionable. The German authorities of today, like those of the Third Reich, do not see individuals, they see only groups. Thus anyone belonging to the group identified as Jews were rejected, and today, the same attitude is observed toward anyone belonging to the group identified as Palestinians. This very stupid mindset will, as long as it lasts, continue to cause friction between groups of races, religions, political identification, nationalities (ie, Russian), etc. This is not just a German phenomenon, it affects others as well, and is a major source of friction that can easily lead to war.]
Germans increasingly appear to be trying to whitewash their shame about the Holocaust by policing dissenting voices that challenge the dominant pro-Israel narrative in the German state. The price is often a hideous disregard for the descendants of the victims of our forefathers' crimes, not to mention the plight of the Palestinians. [This is important insight]
In doing so, many Germans today place strong pro-Israel rhetoric above the very values that should guide any sane individual toward a resolute rejection of both anti-Semitism and racism. Such a farce has little to do with ongoing discussions within Israeli civil society or with Palestinians' deep-rooted aspirations for liberation and self-determination.
During the awards ceremony, Abraham and Adra were not the only ones who angered Germany. Ben Russell, the American director who also won an award, took to the stage wearing a keffiyeh and condemned Israel's actions in Gaza, describing them as genocide. [of course, it is genocide, and political attitudes are not the only barrier to identifying it. US and European “Christian” Zionism is another attitude that blinds people to the Israeli genocide.] Other filmmakers called for a ceasefire. Such statements come amid profound turmoil in Germany's cultural scene, spurred by the events that erupted in the wake of October 7. Recent months have seen a wave of cancellations of exhibitions, conferences and other cultural events due to artists' outspoken statements regarding Israel and Palestine, including those by Palestinians and Jews.
Notable examples include the cancellation of an awards ceremony for Palestinian writer Adenya Shibli in October, as well as the international scandal surrounding the cancellation of a Hannah Arendt award ceremony for Masha Gessen, the Russian-American Jewish writer who likened Gaza to ghettos. Under the Nazis in December.
Berlin Mayor Kai Wegener denounced the Berlinale party as "unacceptable relativism" and "anti-Semitism." Berlin's Culture Minister Joe Chialo echoed similar sentiments, condemning it as "anti-Israel propaganda." Even a member of the Bundestag from the German Liberal Party, Frank Müller-Rosenterit, called for stopping funding for the Berlinale. German Justice Minister Marco Bushmann announced potential legal repercussions. One particularly embarrassing aspect of the story concerns German Culture Minister Claudia Roth of the Green Party.
Unless Germany aims to further diminish its reputation as a country that has learned something from its dark past, it must stop its bias against Palestinians and left-wing Israelis and engage in a deep reckoning with what historical responsibility might look like in 2024.
Of course, the prospects for such a reorganization look very bleak these days. This is why Germany needs an urgent reminder of the need to finally listen to critical voices – such as those of Basel Adra and Yuval Abraham – rather than stifling them.

Important video
British journalist and author Owen Jones recently made a video describing in excruciating detail Israel’s ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza and the West Bank. Many others have also reported on this. Medical Aid CEO Melanie Ward says that “children are being starved at the fastest rate the world has ever seen.”
Jones concludes that Israel’s ruthless actions – publicly supported by Western governments at a time when the world is seeing them in real time – could prove the downfall of the West.
He points out that “Western governments have openly facilitated some of the worst crimes of our age” and concludes: “I don’t think the West is ever going to recover from this.”

U.S. Peace Activist Given Longest Prison Term in German Campaign to Oust U.S. Nuclear Bombs
Story by Nukewatch • 20h • 4 min read
German bureaucrats really hate people running around saying anything they please. There is an 18 month prison term in store for anyone who dares to say in public anything negative about the Jews or Israel.
The Germans somehow think that WW II was a war between the Jews and Germans, and since the Germans lost, they figure they need to pay reparations.
But in fact, the deeper principle was Nazism versus freedom of religion and ethnicity.
Which is why Germany today focuses on hating the Palestinians and promoting genocide, which they think is Jewish and needs to be defended.

To understand West-think, just turn reason upside down and you’ve got it
Writing for Western audiences presents a bit of a challenge because most of us are trapped in the phenomenon of West-think, ie, trained by our lying media to accept the Neocon viewpoint with regard to foreign affairs.
West-think is essentially upside-down in comparison to East-think, ie, the way of thinking of, say, Russians and Chinese about society and politics.
For example, in West-think, the world power that wholeheartedly supports Israeli genocide and crimes against humanity is seen as the good guy while the countries that condemn genocide and heinous Nazi-like crimes are considered the bad guys. In fact, somehow, Western officials have convinced themselves that the Houthis, the most active fighters against the Israeli crime syndicate and its supporters in Washington, are terrorists.
Clearly, in the Western mindset, good is evil and evil is good. Even in regard to the Ukraine war, in West-think, the Ukrainian Nazis are freedom fighters while the Russians, who oppose Nazism, having lost 27 million souls to the Third Reich that invaded them in 1941, and having spent almost a decade under artillery fire from Kiev’s Nazis in the Donbass, consider Nazism evil and are willing to invest millions in rubles and Russian lives in fighting it.
West-think is therefore clearly upside down compared to logical and rational thinking of normal people. I will go so far as to call it a mental illness, and a dangerous one because the wars on civilians waged by the West since the 50s have taken millions of innocent lives.
One minor item: I have heard at least one very competent geopolitical commentator pronounce “Houthi” as “Hooty.” That is wrong. Unlike most other languages but like the Greek, Arabic actually has a sound that is as produced in English by the letter combination -th-.
Translation from Arabic with my notes in bold and in [brackets]
Link to alkhanadeq report on Houthi achievements
Friday 08 March 2024 02:58
In numbers: The harvest of the Yemeni Support Front for Palestine
The leader of the Ansar Allah movement, Mr. Abdul-Malik Al-Houthi, presented the harvest of 5 months of Yemeni military operations as a support front for the Palestinian resistance in the Gaza Strip, which numbered 96 operations since the beginning of the Al-Aqsa flood, of which 32 operations were carried out to strike targets in occupied Palestine. These operations, which “come as a surprise to the United States and Britain,” have not been witnessed in Yemen for 8 years, when Saudi Arabia and the UAE were beyond missile range.
Mr. Al-Houthi pointed out that during “8 years of the American-Saudi aggression against Yemen, it did not reach Saudi Arabia, nor the Emirates, to the same extent that the missile force fired in its naval operations, and to occupied Palestine, in the last 5 months.”
96 operations using 403 missiles and drones
Since the opening of the support front for the Palestinian resistance in the Gaza Strip, the Yemeni armed forces have carried out 96 operations using 403 ballistic and cruise missiles and drones, during which 61 ships were targeted. Of these, 64 were in the Red and Arab Bahrain, and 32 were operations into occupied Palestine: 32 with ballistic and cruise missiles.
It also carried out this week alone: 8 operations, during which it targeted 7 ships in the Red and Arabian Seas, the Gulf of Aden, and Bab al-Mandab, with 19 missiles and a drone, the most prominent of which was targeting American and Israeli ships, which led to their catching fire and the evacuation of the ship’s crews from them.
An achievement at the tactical level
Mr. Al-Houthi stressed in his speech that this “influential and rising number, in which new weapons are also being used, surprised the Americans and the British, and they are unable to limit these operations, even despite their attempts to prevent or limit them.” Pointing out that targeting ships at sea is a complex process, not a simple one. This is why it is so confusing to enemies:
First: The ships move in the sea, and even distance themselves to places that are farther from the Yemeni coast. Just like in the case of ships that are targeted in the Arabian Sea, there are occupied governorates, separating the missile force from their coasts. Despite their movement, and their attempts to camouflage themselves by turning off identification devices...etc., and by many means, and then camouflaging the information, all of that was bypassed, and they were targeted while in transit at sea, and were hit accurately, with ballistic missiles, the first time they were targeted. Ships hit with ballistic missiles.
Second: “An achievement on the technical level, on the industrial level, and an achievement on the tactical level, and the Americans admitted this. This is considered a real achievement, a major breakthrough, and they actually did not expect it... Targeting a ship is bigger than the issue of targeting a military vehicle on land.”
More than 344 thousand solidarity rallies
At the level of events, marches, demonstrations, and rallies, which are an essential part of the situation, they are integrated with military operations:
Marches and demonstrations: There were 2,539 demonstrations and marches
Events: up to 76,770 events
Popular and community vigils: up to 76,051 popular and community vigils
Student vigils at universities and schools: up to 148,299 student vigils at the university and schools
Evening meetings: up to 40,969 evenings
More than 14 thousand women’s rallies in two weeks [This puts paid to the myth that Islam is exclusively male and excludes women. Things are changing and the West is being left in the dust]
At the level of women’s activities, which is an essential part of the position of the Yemeni people, their men and women:
Women's events and vigils: 2420 women's events and vigils.
Central female rallies: 232 pauses
Women's seminars: 11,838 seminars
Giving and spending convoys: 42 convoys
At the level of events, marches, demonstrations and vigils in just two weeks:
Marches and demonstrations: 358 marches
Events: 3032 events
Popular and community rallies: 5372
Student endowments in universities and schools: 6939
Evenings: 10398 evenings
More than 1,700 military maneuvers and exhibitions
At the level of mobilization, Mr. Al-Houthi stressed that “the Yemeni people are a mujahid [militant] people, armed, and ready to fight, but combat training and military qualification are nonetheless important, and the courses in this are continuing, and the outputs are many, while continuing with regard to spending and financial donations”:
Outputs of these workshops and courses: reached more than 282,000 trainees during this period alone.
Military parades: up to 350 military parades
Maneuvers: up to 719 maneuvers
Military marches: to 652 military marches
On the other hand, Yemen was subjected to 344 raids and naval bombardments, including 18 raids during the last week, during which one was martyred and 6 civilians were wounded. Mr. Al-Houthi stressed that this will not limit the capabilities of this successful, escalating, and rapid path in developing military capabilities that are quickly accomplished.” [This level of achievement is incredible considering that the West has spent billions trying in vain to stop the Houthi campaigns]. Mr. Al-Houthi pointed out that since the American-Saudi aggression, the missile range of the missile capabilities was approximately 40 or 45 kilometres, but then it reached a level above 1,000 kilometres. However, this development was not limited to “the level of range, but also to the level of superior ability to hit, superior accuracy and destructive capacity.”

Schiller Institute Issues Invitation for ‘Oasis Plan’ International Conference April 13: Build Hope, Build Development, Build Peace
by Marcia Merry Baker (EIRNS) — Mar. 11, 2024
March 11, 2024 (EIRNS)—We are in an incredibly dangerous situation. Global NATO and echelons of the singular and collective “West” are perpetrating conflict and evil on the scale of mass suffering and death in Ukraine, and many other places, which is at the degree of genocide in Gaza.
There are voices speaking out against this, and, moreover, they are warning of the ultimate danger of nuclear war and annihilation. In the Trans-Atlantic, the battle is joined to stop this process of doom. For example, in the U.S. a letter went to President Biden on March 7, from hundreds of rabbis and cantors, calling for the U.S. to stop backing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “There is no military solution” in Gaza, they wrote.
But the killing and destruction continue. Those responsible have learned nothing from the lessons of their military and insurgency “interventions,” resulting in vast destruction in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Gaza, Yemen, and more. Senior journalist Simon Jenkins wrote in The Guardian on March 5, “The crass ineptitude of a quarter of a century of western military interventions should have taught us some lessons. Apparently not.” ("NATO Is Growing Restless over Ukraine, and Russia’s German Military Leak Proves It.")
