Jake Sullivan just announced there is no genocide because the killing was not intentional
It wasn't the Israeli regime's fault. Today the SETTLERS destroyed the food aid. The Israeli forces watched them do it as the Gazans starved. Not Israel's fault, see?

Humanitarian aid trucks attacked (not for the first time); US is angry but impotent (not for the first time); Israel targets aid worker’s car, has no explanation (not for the first time); 450,000 Gazans evacuated from shelters (not for the first time); incitement by Israeli settlers and ministers; US military officer resigns; DNC afraid to hold debate about Gaza; campus protest update:
GAZA HUMANITARIAN AID TRUCKS ATTACKED AND SET ON FIRE BY RIGHT-WING ISRAELI PROTESTERS.
By IAK staff, from reports
Ha’aretz reports: A truck intended to deliver humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip was set on fire near the Negohot settlement in the Hebron Hills of the West Bank. The truck was part of a convoy that was blocked and looted by right-wing protesters against the transfer of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip. Firefighters arrived at the scene and the police started an investigation.
A senior defense official told Haaretz that “police are turning a blind eye to the riots of lawbreakers who vandalize and burn the aid trucks, using inside information they receive about the movement of trucks.”
Earlier Monday, close to 100 people blocked an aid convoy, emptied trucks of their contents and damaged nine of them. Four people were arrested in the incident. According to Israeli human rights organization B’Tselem, the incident lasted for hours, in the presence of Israeli forces who didn’t intervene.

Ukraine howled in fear due to the powerful explosions. SMO summary for the morning of May 14
Last night, Russian cruise missiles and Geran attack drones again flew over Ukraine. Their flights were recorded in Sumy, Dnepropetrovsk, Kharkov, Vinnitsa, Khmelnitsky, and Chernivtsy oblasts.
Explosions followed reports of airborne danger. The first one was heard in the city of Uman, one of the Ukrainian news portals reported. There are no exact details about the target hit. But, according to preliminary information, a military repair enterprise located in the city may have come under attack.
Explosions were also heard in Kharkov, Sumy and Dnepropetrovsk. We are waiting for information about destroyed enemy targets from pro-Russian underground fighters.
Iskander destroyed two dozen Ukrainian UAVs [The Iskander is a hypersonic missile, cannot be shot down. One reason why Zelensky’s demands for more air defenses are senseless]
In the area of the settlement of Mylovoe in the Kherson oblast, an Iskander missile blew a site with Ukrainian drones into pieces, the Iznanka Telegram channel reported.
According to the information, a cluster of enemy UAVs was noticed by a Russian reconnaissance drone, which transmitted information to headquarters.
“The drones stood as if on parade, ready to strike,” say the operators who monitored and recorded the destruction of targets. — Several UAVs were already installed on launch catapults located in Ukrainian Armed Forces pickup trucks, and, apparently, were waiting for the “Start” command. Our rocket arrived earlier."
The strike was carried out by an Iskander missile equipped with a cluster warhead. According to objective control data, at least 25 drones, seven operators and two pickup trucks with catapults were destroyed.
“The attack can be called unique in the degree and speed of interaction between aerial reconnaissance officers and the command responsible for decision-making,” as assessed by an officer of the Russian Armed Forces. “It was thanks to the high degree of interaction that such an effective result was achieved.”

Pashinyan the US-controlled traitor to Armenia
I don’t believe I have ever mentioned in this newsletter Armenian PM Pashinyan, a traitor to his people who was installed in his position by none other than the infamous regime change activist George Soros. This is not speculation. The below article confirms it.
Pashinyan’s behavior is erratic. On the one hand he has recently expressed interest in joining NATO and the EU, but on the other hand, he continues to keep Armenia in the CSTO (Collective Security Treaty Organization, under the Russian wing.)

Russian analyst: Pashinyan follows Soros’ commandments [EXCLUSIVE]
30 September 2019 [note the date]
By Abdul Kerimkhanov
Yerevan [Armenian capital] strictly follows George Soros’ commandments and puts itself in confrontation with its closest strategic ally Russia, Evgeny Mikhailov, Russian political analyst said in an interview with Azernews.
Mikhailov believes that Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan's statement that he twice refused to meet George Soros, the Founder of the Open Society Foundations, does not mean that Pashinyan is not linked to Soros.
"It is absolutely not necessary for the Armenian PM to tease its main and so far only strategic ally Russia with such meetings. In principle, there is an understanding that Yerevan follows strictly the commandments of Soros and this is enough to bring Armenia into a confrontation with the whole world," the analyst said.
The main thing is that most of Pashinyan’s team was maintained with Soros’s money and they are in contact with him, the expert added.
Answering the question about the power change in Armenia, Mikhailov said that “the velvet revolution did not fully meet the expectations of the West. On the other hand, Yerevan could have followed the Ukrainian scenario, but the change of power in the White House did not allow this process to intensify to the point of maximum confrontation with Moscow, as the West had wanted,” the Russian analyst said.
"Against this background, Pashinyan feels very uncomfortable. He counted on more, but in my opinion, he was deceived. Now Pashinyan smiles sweetly on all sides. It seems he needs the West, but the country’s main sustainer is Russia,” Mikhaylov said, adding that Pashinyan will have to choose between Russia and the West.
Mikhailov stressed that the most useful scenario for Armenia is to start normalizing relations with Azerbaijan. [with which it was at war over a territory inhabited by Armenians but claimed by Azerbaijan. Putin may have been able to do more but why aid a traitor? Armenia had chosen to turn its back on its erstwhile protector Russia and hitch its wagon to the West. It lost the war] It’s quite obvious that without a solution to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Yerevan will remain in isolation for a long time, which prevents the country from developing.
"As soon as the return of the occupied territories takes place, the situation will improve dramatically. [It doesn’t appear as if the occupied territories will revert to Armenia. Putin once stated that the territories are legally Azerbaijani possessions] Peace with neighbors will lead to the removal of certain restrictions and the unblocking of transport routes, which will lead to an increase in trade with many countries in the region," Mikhaylov said.
Mikhailov emphasized that Armenia’s problems, such as the outflow of population and low birth rate, will be solved after Yerevan signs peace agreement with Baku. The expert assumes that in the event of the return of its territories, Azerbaijan itself will eventually be ready to invest considerable funds in the development of both Nagorno-Karabakh and indirectly of Armenia itself.

Pashinyan’s government is in its death throes and is deceiving itself - experts
May 10, 2024
The current popular movement for a change of power in Armenia should not be compared with all previous protests. Political scientist, chairman of the Democratic Unity party Suren Petrosyan stated this to EADaily.
According to him, each movement has its own characteristics.
“However, what we see today indicates a more than significant increase in public dissatisfaction with the policies of the current authorities,” [the previous movement, the US-led Velvet Revolution, installed Pashinyan] said the political scientist.
He expressed confidence in the success of the current movement, which will have to restore the national values of the Armenian state and the Armenian people. Petrosyan noted that it is simply impossible to resist the current movement, and the government itself is in its death throes. As an example of this agony, he cited yesterday's incident when a KamAZ truck tried to drive into a crowd of people.
Referring to the fact that members of the ruling Civil Contract party have been distributing a photograph of Nikol Pashinyan since yesterday, under which they write “Legitimate Prime Minister,” Petrosyan emphasized that the rally of thousands that took place the day before is a clear confirmation of the degree of legitimacy [a low degree] of Pashinyan. [perhaps the debacle in Ukraine was a lesson to Armenia.
Even polls in Taiwan show that the Taiwanese no longer trust the US]
“If 140 thousand people in the square express no confidence in him, is this their legitimate prime minister? A process has begun where the government is trying to deceive itself,” said the political scientist.
Answering a question about the tactics of the authorities, who are counting on a decline in the nationwide movement, Petrosyan called for addressing this issue to the authorities themselves.
“But, in my deep conviction, a process has begun that will ultimately lead to a change of power,” the political scientist noted, adding that tonight the rally on Republic Square will be much larger than yesterday.
Turkologist Varuzhan Geghamyan also expressed confidence in a larger rally, which will take place in the center of the Armenian capital on May 10.
“Let me remind you that yesterday more than 50 thousand Armenians were present to express their protest and disagreement with the capitulatory and pro-Turkish policy pursued by the current de facto authorities,” the Turkologist noted in a conversation with EADaily.
Let us note that today there are protests of disobedience throughout Armenia demanding the resignation of the current Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan. Citizens demand to stop serving the anti-state, pro-Turkish agenda. From early morning, students of the country's largest universities went on strike and took to the streets in support of the “Tavush for the Motherland” movement, led by the head of the Tavush diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church, Archbishop Bagrat Galstanyan.

The capture of Odessa and Kharkov will paralyze support from the EU and the USA - SVR veteran
May 7, 2024
When Russian armed forces take control of Odessa, Ukraine will be cut off from Western arms supplies. Lev Korolkov, an expert on crisis situations and a veteran of the Foreign Intelligence Service, stated to Pravda.Ru.
He explained that without Odessa, Kiev would lose its strategic importance due to the lack of a port and access to the sea, and Ukraine itself would simply turn into a territory inhabited by a certain number of people. Korolkov emphasized that, despite significant destruction of the port infrastructure, Western supplies are still carried out through the Danube. However, the capture of Odessa would stop this completely, effectively depriving Ukraine of Western weapons and assistance. [I need to add that I am reading reports of arms shipments arriving by rail to Western Ukraine and continuing on to the front lines. However, the railways are losing power due to the Russian air strikes]
“Partly food, partly equipment and much more, which goes to support the Kiev regime,” he noted.
Commenting on the situation around Kharkov, the SVR veteran noted that the Russian armed forces are using tactics of squeezing out the enemy, since combat operations in urban environments are complicated by large-scale destruction and risk to civilians.
At the same time, NATO, “grinding its teeth” will not take any action in the event of the capture of Odessa and Kharkov by the Russian army.
“Maybe they’ll come up with some other sanctions.”
