Why have West Asian nations that long ago pledged their support to the Palestinian cause remained so silent amid Israel’s terrorizing assaults on Gaza, the West Bank, and now Lebanon?. Where have the Russians and Chinese been? Is this not the time for a display of solidarity among non–Western nations? Can we not look to them as a counter to the inexcusable support the U.S. and its clients extend to the Zionist regime? What can we expect, looking forward, of the BRICS — Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa — whose members just concluded a summit in Kazan?
These are my questions a year on from the events of Oct. 7, 2023. On the assumption others may ask them, too, I put these matters to Chas Freeman, the distinguished former ambassador with a long record in West Asian and other world affairs. Our extended exchange via email follows. —P.L.
PL: A German newspaper recently published an interview with the Egyptian foreign minister, Sameh Shoukry, who expressed his profound frustration with the Americans as Israel continues its assault in Gaza—and now the West Bank and Lebanon. You can’t work with the Americans, he complained in so many words. They say one thing, they rarely mean it, and typically do something else altogether.
It prompts my first question. In the context of the enlarging crisis in West Asia, please comment on the diplomatic positions America’s allies in the region. What, generally, is going through their minds? Why haven’t they reacted more vigorously to the Israeli assault? Are they simply “bought,” in one or another way? Or is there more to it?
CF: The United States no longer has any “diplomatic allies” in the region. Popular anger at American support for the Israeli effort to rid Palestine of its Arab population and expand into Gaza and Lebanon makes alignment with Washington too politically costly for Arab rulers to risk.
Israel’s depravity has ended any prospect of normalized relations by Arab states with it. Those that have normalized relations with Israel are now under popular pressure to suspend or reverse it. More importantly, the Gulf Arabs have declared that they will be neutral in any conflict between Iran, Israel, and the United States. Israel’s genocide in Gaza has created a state of war between it and Yemen and fostered a rapprochement between previously estranged Egypt and Turkey.
PL: It has been said that neighboring nations had more affinity with the PLO in times past than with Hamas now because the former was a secular organization, the latter not. Is this accurate, and if so, does the distinction matter now?
CF: Hamas is an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamist democratic movement. It came to power in Palestine by winning an election in 2006. Hamas’s leaders take the position that Arab societies should be governed by those with support at the ballot box rather than by princes, generals, dictators, or thugs. Arab rulers who fall into these authoritarian categories naturally find this position threatening.
Religion is not a major factor in Arab and Muslim states’ relations with Hamas. Like Arab rulers, Hamas is Sunni Muslim. The differences of Arab rulers with Hamas are far less than they were with the atheist leadership of the PLO. Iran, which is Shi`a, has been the main supporter of Hamas — not on religious grounds but in support of Palestinian self-determination.
PL: Can you talk about some specific nations in this context? Mohammed bin Salman, the Saudi crown prince, asserted just recently there can be no question of a Riyadh–Tel Aviv rapprochement until the Palestinians have a state with East Jerusalem as its capital. What is behind this? Where are the Emirates, Qatar in particular, on the Israel–Palestine question?
CF: The Gulf Arab states all affirm that Palestinians are entitled to self-determination and support a two-state division of Palestine. They face mounting criticism from their publics for having done nothing concrete to advance this goal. The last poll of Saudi opinion on normalization with Israel that I saw showed 94 percent opposed to it. Most now argue that those Arab states that have established diplomatic relations with Israel should now break them.
The status of Jerusalem is an important issue for the world’s two billion Muslims. The intrusions into the Al–Aqsa Mosque and the calls of fanatic members of the Israeli cabinet for its Judaization are deeply offensive to Arab Muslims and Christians alike.
PL: I was very pleased, I admit even delighted, to see a video of the en masse walkout at the U.N. General Assembly when Netanyahu took to the podium this week. [The Israeli prime minister addressed the General AssemblyG.A. on Sept. 27.] I take this to be a moment of some importance, and so I have a few questions for you about it. How did you read that occasion and what was your reaction to it?
CF: The hateful things Israel is doing have made it the most hated society on the planet. Netanyahu is seen as the moral equivalent of Adolph Hitler and Israel is a pariah everywhere outside the West. No one other than a dwindling band of American politicians now wants to be seen in Israel’s or Netanyahu’s company. The walkout was a virtual inevitability, only slightly offset by Netanyahu’s importation of Israeli fans of his to applaud his many inversions of truth and falsehood.
PL: I wonder, actually, who was in that group. Was it a broad gathering of non– Western powers that walked out? Almost the entire membership of the new “global majority”—the so-called “Global South”—seems to have walked out, leaving only an isolated contingent from the West behind.
Also, U.N. ambassadors do not generally act without the authorization of their ministries. Can we assume this was the case with the walkout? It was understood in advance what would be done, perhaps with a measure of coordination? And does this tell us something?
CF: You are probably correct that there was prior consultation with capitals, but Israel is now so thoroughly despised internationally that this would hardly have been necessary. Anti–Zionism has become good politics almost everywhere outside the West.
PL: Can you talk about West Asian nations that are neither allies nor clients of the Americans? Iran, Iraq, Syria, Turkey: How have they responded to the Gaza crisis — or not — and how do you see them reacting as it expands?
CF: Israel’s actions in Gaza, Syria, Yemen, and now Lebanon, and its efforts to produce a widening regional war in West Asia, have accomplished the previously impossible. They have united Shi`a with Sunni and consolidated the Saudi–Iranian rapprochement. The greater Israeli cruelty to its captive Arab populations and neighbors, the stronger the coalition against it becomes. [The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia kingdom and the Islamic Republic reopened ties, after a lengthy breach, following sponsored by the Chinese in March 2023.]
PL: The big question for a lot of people is why there has been so little effective reaction, even diplomatically, to Israel’s barbaric conduct since the events of 7 October.
The Arab League has issued some strong statements, but these have not come to much. As Israel’s savagery became evident last autumn, a few Latin American nations withdrew their ambassadors or cut relations altogether. The South Africans have gone the legal route, very honorably. But other than this, there’s not much going on.
Why the silence, the timidity, whatever you are inclined to call it? It seems a case of “the whole world watching” but the whole world not doing anything. Does this come down to the question of American power?
CF: It is proof, I believe, that, as the saying has it, no one wants to get into a pissing contest with a skunk. That is especially the case when the skunk is backed by a country as powerful and prone to coercive actions as the United States. The supporters of Zionism have a well-deserved reputation for the vicious slander of their critics and determination to ostracize them. This intimidates most people and governments.
Tactically, with a few honorable exceptions, countries have opted to wring their hands while sitting on them. But the strategic (i.e., the long-run) implications of Israel’s self-delegitimization will be far-reaching. International law and the global majority may have temporarily been set aside by risk-averse governments, but tolerance of Israel by their publics as a practitioner of evil is clearly wearing ever thinner.
There is a widening gap between entrenched political elites and outraged mass opinion that is destabilizing politics in democratic and undemocratic societies alike. Demands for the re-democratization of Western societies, as well as punishment of Israel, are becoming ever louder. The “BDS” movement—boycott, disinvest, and sanction—is gaining ground, much as it eventually did against the far milder form of apartheid earlier condoned by the West in South Africa.
PL: Turning to the Europeans, especially the British, French, and Germans: Do we have to conclude these nations are simply vassal states, or is there more complexity to their positions?
CF: Each is different. The Germans are consumed with guilt for their conduct of the antisemitic Holocaust and overcompensate by conferring immunity on Israel, which came into being as a result of that European atrocity. The British and French, like the United States, have politics that are policed by very effective Zionist lobbies and media that self-censor in favor of Israel. Ironically, some European countries with fascist, antisemitic pasts and current affinities for xenophobic authoritarianism see contemporary Israeli political culture as similar in some respects to their own. And Islamophobia is rising a factor in European Christendom.
PL: We come to the big non–Western powers: The Russians, the Chinese, the Indians, if you want to include them the Brazilians. I would have expected more of them by now. The Chinese convened that meeting of various Palestinian factions—this shortly before Ismail Haniyeh’s assassination on 31 July. It struck me as a typical gesture of the nation purporting to live by Zhou Enlai’s Five principles.
What are your thoughts on how the major non–Western powers have so far responded to the West Asia crisis?
CF: These countries are engaged in building an alternative to the increasingly impotent United Nations structure and its sidelined regulatory agencies, like the WTO.W.T.O. The BRICS group began as a protest movement against American and G–7 global primacy by major non–Western powers. It is now developing the potential to convene ad hoc assemblies that can make rules outside the U.N. framework, pending the reform and reorganization of the U.N. to restore its effectiveness.
Chinese efforts at peacemaking in West Asia and Eastern Europe have the backing of its fellow members of BRICS. It is significant that South Africa—the “S” in BRICS—brought the cases against Israeli genocide in both the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court. We are seeing the gradual growth of willingness on the part of decolonized countries to hold the West to its hypocritically professed ideals.
PL: What do you see out front on the diplomatic side? One is forced to wonder, the Israelis having opened a new front in Lebanon and no sign the Western powers will respond any differently, whether we are looking at what I’ve taken to calling limitless impunity, impunity with no end. What influence, what impact, can other nations have on the West Asia crisis at this point?
If you would, please consider the non–West in particular. Can we expect anything more of these nations than we’ve so far seen? The question is especially important, it seems to me, because it bears on the larger matter of “a new world order” and just what any such notion may or may not eventually mean.
CF: I do see the world beyond the West becoming more insistent on respect for global norms by the West as it becomes more powerful and prosperous. The “rise of the rest,” as Fareed Zakaria put it, is a reality. The global center of gravity has left the Euro–Atlantic region.
Middle-ranking powers are becoming more independent and assertive in defense of their own interests and less deferential to the club of imperialist powers that makes up the G–7. And, while the politics of formerly colonized countries are often dominated by the tremors of post-colonial hangovers, their demands, like their struggles for independence, have been inspired by ideas they absorbed from the West.
For the most part, they seek to affirm rather than dispense with the global norms enacted in the period of Western dominance. Thus, they do not seek to overthrow the inherited order but to restore compliance with its ideals. The U.S. perception that they are “revisionist” has a basis, but U.S. antagonism to their demands is founded on a desire to retain a hegemonic role in the global political economy and the ability to use force to override the very norms Americans helped compose and still claim to support.
PL: Just one more question in this line. There is renewed talk now of fundamental reform at the U.N., and, while this is hardly a new topic, the discourse seems more serious now — more promising. You had a plain and simple demonstration of one big problem at the General Assembly this past week: The G.A. can recommend, but all executive authority lies with the five Security Council powers. This, a structural flaw if you like, goes back to the U.N.’s founding.
Richard Falk and Hans–Christof von Sponeck, two authoritative figures with long experience as senior U.N. officials, just published Liberating the United Nations: Realism with Hope (Stanford). I count this an important book.
Can you think out loud about the spreading crisis in West Asia and what might be done about it in the context of this new movement for U.N. reform?
CF: A bit of diplomatic imagination is much needed. There is nothing in international law that would prevent the ad hoc gathering of like-minded countries to concert policies and practices without regard to the United Nations. The U.N. is demonstrating a level of political impotence that resembles that of the League of Nations in the face of fascist actions in the 1930s in China, Ethiopia, and Central Europe. We must hope that the reform or replacement of the U.N. will not require a world war, which is what it took to replace the League with a new and — for a time — more effective organization.
As I suggested, the BRICS seems to be developing into an institution that might give birth to new and more just systems of global governance. But whether it does or not, the need to focus on shared objectives and devise collective measures to pursue them is pressing. Falk and von Sponeck are onto something important.
PL: As it happens, the BRICS just concluded a summit in Kazan, along the Volga in southwestern Russia. I found the timing suggestive, if only vaguely, of a world order to come as it prepares to replace a declining order. The Western press coverage, was, of course, almost farcically resentful, and I always read this kind of thing as a measure of the West’s insecurities. Do you have a read on the summit and its significance?
The big news that was supposed to come out of the Kazan gathering—so I thought, anyway—was a formal announcement of a strategic partnership, maybe even an alliance, between Russia and the Islamic Republic. This would have huge implications for the West Asia crisis. But I didn’t see anything on the Moscow–Tehran relationship. Do you have a thought on this?
CF: Those with militarized foreign policies not surprisingly think of the BRICS as a “bloc” like the G–7 or a potential alliance like NATO, but it is neither. It is an alternative to Western domination of international institutions and rulemaking, but it is a forum, like the United Nations, not an anti–Western coalition. Treating it as anti–Western could, however, provoke it to become anti–Western.
If Russia and Iran wanted to formalize their defense relationship, the BRICS meeting at Kazan would have provided a place to do so, but the timing was not opportune, given the uncertainties created by Israel’s threats to attack Iran to restore escalation dominance and thus achieve the regional hegemony to which it aspires. Russia does not need a formal alliance to be able to help Iran or others in the region to defend themselves against Israeli aggression. It will do so to the extent this serves Russian interests, as it has in Syria. Iran will continue to sell drones and transfer technology to Russia in return.
One important difference between the fading world order post–Cold War and the new international system toward which we are transitioning is the diminished role of alliances and the return of classic diplomacy. The emerging system is one dominated by ententes (limited partnerships for limited purposes) based on common interests, some of which may be transient, rather than by alliances embodying shared values as well as interests.
All five of the original BRICS member states are nonaligned and regard “alliances” as liabilities rather than unalloyed strategic assets. They are prepared to defend their own interests, which they privilege above those of other nations. They will agree to help others defend themselves when contingencies make this expedient but not otherwise.
The reasoning behind this view is straightforward. Commitments to defend other sovereign states subject those who make them to the risk of becoming embroiled in fights that are not their own to advance interests they may not share. George Washington understood this well, which is why he counseled Americans to avoid entangling alliances as well as passionate attachments to other nations. Our current leadership does not understand the wisdom of such a self-interested and flexible approach to foreign affairs. It seems incapable of realizing that the BRICS member states are prioritizing diplomatic dialogue and cooperation over military deterrence. BRICS members seek to safeguard their sovereignty not just by freeing themselves from Western hegemony but by enhancing cooperation among each other based on give and take that serves common interests.

i think the position of the russians and chinese is quite clear, they both call for a return to the pre 67 borders, which is kryptonite to the ersatz israeli ubermensch. unless you’re haxo and impatient for the start of ww3, like all zionists and conservatard christians, what else can be done, express extreme outrage?
this is all part of a much larger war in ukraine, taiwan, korea and points elsewhere. the important thing is not what they are saying but what they are doing. somehow russia, china, korea, iran and her proxy yemen have all developed hypersonic missiles at the same time, while the the u.s. embezzles, er ahh, i mean invests billions, in failed attempts to join this exclusive club.
israel and her zato vassals are completely outclassed, out gunned and living on their potemkin reputations, that are being shredded like zato air defenses. all they have left is propaganda and they seem to feel this is enough to overwhelm the world, in a bullshit blitzkrieg, as they have always done.
sorry charlie, this won’t win kinetic wars in a hypersohnic age, that you like haxo, seem to have slept through, hitting the snooze alarm every 5 minutes for two or three decades. well time to wake up rip van winkle, the neolithic era is over, time to crawl out of your cave, your stone age religious and cultural supremacy are done, your race is run, on earth as it is under heaven. it’s just a matter of time…..
Chas Freeman, what a class act this man exudes
It is very boring and USELESS interview. It is totally a waste of TIME.
Death to Israel, Death to US/UK
Apparently these two persons don’t know or they don’t want to talk about the fact that NO one can trust Russia. Russia never will help Hamas. Putin is with Saudis and Israelis. He helps only those who are agents of Mossad like Mohammed Dahlan, supported by zionist UAE, to give that Israel trust. Putin supporting genocidal Netanyahu and have never condemned the genocide in Gaza, like never condemn the attack on Iran.
This interview is extremely BORING.
Putin has NOT condemned Israeli attack on Iran. But China has. That’s why the majority of Iranian people cannot trust a zionist entity like Russia or racist India. That’s why Putin is in bed ONLY with zionists in India, Saudi Arabia, UAE or Turkey.
Some gullible people at this site think that Russia will help Iran. NO, Russia never helped Iran, in fact Putin helps only Iranian’s enemies like Israel, Aliyev, Saudis, or the faggots in UAE, or Turkey.
Oh, happy days!
When Israhell is no more!

Russia is central to Israel’s terror in the region. Empty Russian rhetoric aside, Russia has always supported the satanic, savage Jews, Netanyahu (Putin’s buddy) in particular. Russia can do a lot but prefers to turn a blind eye. Russia failed to condemn Israel’s aggression against Iran but continues to call on Iran to “exercise restraint.” In Syria, Russia is playing a despicable cowardly game, coordinating with Israel and the U.S. in their ongoing aggression against Syria. A report by Hezbollah shows that since the arrival of the Russian forces in Syria, Israel has increased its attacks on Syria after coordinating with the Russians. Key to this is Russia’s refusal to allow the Syrian forces to use the anti-aircraft missiles. The ongoing terrorist attacks on unarmed Palestinians (women and children) by Jews is a textbook case of live-streamed genocide, but Russia doesn’t call it genocide. In addition, Russia never acknowledged that the Satanic Jewish regime is openly an apartheid regime. In short, Russia is as Zionist and Jewish-controlled an oligarchy as the U.S., if not worse. At least, many Americans around the country openly protesting against Israel’s terror and show solidarity with the Palestinian people. Anyone who dares to do the same in Russia will be sent to the prison.
For those with smartphones:
“…he – Chas Closet Jew Freeman – was “deeply insulted” by those charging antisemitism … he had a “great respect for Judaism and its adherents”.
This is what Chas Freeman has great respect for and what the scum helped create last but not least with evil Obama & admin.:
https://ok.ru/video/7589488495232
Putin is a Jew, a very serious Holocaust fanboy (like Jew Trump) and in place to consolidate the new Zarism (serfdom) over the Russian peoples: Jewish oligarchy;
(the son of three Jewish whores: his physical mother (left the boy to run off with a Georgian fucker), his foster mother and his mother substitute while occupanties in Jewermany – his Jewish German teacher in Dresden.
What positions did Ambassador Chas Freeman take on Israel during his tenure as America’s ambassador other than lie on behalf of his government? His Jewish identity makes this interview redundant. It comes too little too late.
No, no, no, no, no. This guy is a Paki moron. Is Pakistan really rising in global prominence? I keep hearing about India being the next China but they keep getting shorter.
As for “the West” it’s also a mixed bag.
This is what China means about “Bloc confrontation.”
Is South Africa really rising in global prominence outside of BRICS?
Now there is a society ready for super-power backed civil war.
Totally untrue of powers that have survived Western bloc military intervention, such as Vietnam, where cops don’t respond to domestic violence calls, and Afghanistan, where Tali-Chad put a stop to girls’ education.
Putting women in their place is the basis of any successful nation that wants a future.
Absolutely spot on regarding Russia. This may seem trivial but I was a frequent commenter on RT, the Russian government owned news website. I quit after repeated deletion of any of my comments that were critical of Israel. Other commenters complained of the same issue. That was about 4 years ago.
Thanks for the wake up call for those who think that Russia is a natural ally of those opposed to Zionist atrocities. Nothing could be further from the truth.
More of the same old nonsense.
Life is not the false reality based on race or origin as white racists paint things, real life is the struggle of nations against western colonial exploitation that does not allow them to fight for development to live a dignified life. Because if they rebel they are killed.
And if anyone has any doubts they should only think about why the West is really supporting the killing of children in Palestine with the ethical, political and moral risk that this implies.
Is anyone so stupid as to believe that people are being killed for religious reasons?
I began by appreciating former US Ambassador Freeman’s views to these questions until reaching his point about “Adolph” Hitler//most hated man in history.
Stopped reading at that juncture.
Is Freeman Jewish ?
Why are American officials seemingly incapable of unbiased views/discussion ?
Freeman needs to know that the reason the world distrusts and disbelieves his country, as he admits, is because its knowledge base is Jew propaganda.
The entire country is an (un)official Jew construct.
RT is Zionism’s mouthpiece and one of the Jews’ propaganda organs in the Global South. In addition, it is Russia’s primary promoter of Islamophobia.
Although BRICS becoming “anti-Western” would be justified and welcome, because “West” simply means Jew rule, as a Brazilian I can tell you that it just ain’t gonna happen: Brazil, too, is a mere vassal of the Jew and a possible rebellion against our overlords is nowhere in sight, unfortunately. Brazil may have seemed to progress with Lula, who showed a bit of pushback against the Israeli barbarities and was even declared persona non grata by Tel Aviv. It’s definitely better than have to put up with Bolsonaro hugging the Israeli flag alongside all his brainless zioccolytes.
But this type of “progress” is really not enough: it’s basically all rhetoric, all for show. For when you look at the Brazilian state and society, you see fifth-columnist Jews and shabbos goys all over the place: for every move forward you have a bunch of Jews and covert zionists pushing us back several steps. One such group is the Brazilian military, who was coopted by the US long ago and still insists on buying sensitive Israeli military equipment, oblivious of all the back door spyware the Jews have secretly hidden in the equipment they buy.
And for all the talk about the new BRICS payment system and bypassing the dollar, the fact is Brazil is basically a debt slave to the Jews, and this has been the case since the very birth of our country: one of our first acts as a sovereign nation, back in 1822, was to contract a huge Rothschild loan. We’re still at this debt-slavery stage, about half of our federal budget going to paying out the interest on debt.
How many people have the capacity to minimally understand this? Brazilian congressmen are ridiculous and either don’t understand or are not allowed to even mention this fundamental question. There are a few heroic voices who call this debt what it is: illegal, heinous, odious. Here are a couple of quotes from Maria Lucia Fattorelli, a heroine who for many years has called for an audit of Brazilian debt (which is required by the constitution, but still hasn’t been performed):
Just like Brazil, all the other BRICS are also members of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), called the central bank of central banks. It’s just a big Jew fleecing scheme. Until the BRICS can escape from this scheme, all their meetings are basically pointless, because they are not addressing the heart of the problem: debt-slavery to the Jews. Here is what former Central Bank of Brazil President Gustavo Franco said about the power of the BIS:
Fantastic comment. Thank you for clarifying Putin’s true nature and identity. Is it possible the Ukraine conflict has been orchestrated by Jewish oligarchs in Ukraine and Russia for their mutual self-enrichment while they loot Western treasuries?
The origin of the term “fifth-column” is from the Spanish civil war to describe fascist supporters in communist areas. You see, there were four principal generals on the right, hence the term “fifth column.”
The song “Los cuatros generales” is a song from the war describing their exploits, available on YouTube.
As for the Rothschilds they have been in power since at least Napoleon so while I don’t think Jews are all going to disappear from the earth entirely I do think we are due for some dynastic succession. The Tribe of Israel was not always led by English bankers, that is for sure.
Belief in the Holohoax … the ultimate test of objectivity. Freeman fails, so no point in paying attention.
Russia has already helped Iran with air defense equipment. But, I examine everything in Russia thru zionist-colored glasses.
I’m told two million Russian Jews live in Israel. That’s what ….. 20% of the population of Israel? We’ve all seen the pictures of Putin rubbing elbows with jews. Then, there is the Russian half-hearted defense of Syria – allowing Israel to sneak attack (on a more-or-less weekly basis) the Iranian guests/advisors in Syria for YEARS.
Some definitive answers I’m currently looking for:
1) Are common Russian folk dying suddenly like common American folk from a clot-shot bioweapon?
2) Is Russia importing ruinous quantities of third world dregs?
3) How much of the UN “Agendas” does Russia support?
On the positive side, Putin is said to be pro-family and pro-religion so that’s a big plus.
Questions, questions.
“Netanyahu is seen as the moral equivalent of Adolph Hitler”
– Never ceases to amaze how obviously otherwise intelligent/well-informed people like Freeman (andMcGregor, McGovern…) can have this total blindspot when it comes to that topic and still blindly regurgitate those childish propaganda-cartoon stories…
Must be either proof that this was/is the most effective propaganda ever propagated …
Or, how susceptible and at times total willfully ignorant even most intelligent people are….?
Probably some clever plot to get a bunch of Turks and Arabs killed. Iran is chock full of Jews, like Russia. I think it has more than Turkey or Iran.
Oct 28, 2024 “We Are in an Escalatory Cycle”: Trita Parsi on Latest Israeli Attack on Iran, Risk of Wider War By Democracy Now!
We speak with Iranian American policy analyst Trita Parsi about Israel’s latest attack on Iran on Saturday, when it bombed military facilities and air defense systems in the country. Iran said four soldiers were killed in the attack. Israel also struck air defense batteries and radars in Syria and Iraq. Israel’s assault this weekend came about four weeks after Iran launched a missile attack on Israeli military sites in response to Israel’s war on Lebanon and Israel’s assassination of Hezbollah and Hamas leaders, part of a series of actions between the two countries since the outbreak of the war on Gaza last year.

thanks for pointing out the attacks on syria and iraq, imo this will be where the iranian response will come from, most likely. the israeli attack was countered to great effect, with help from the russians, upgrading their air defenses and e.w. systems, while the earlier iran response shredded the israeli and zato defenses, totally pantsing israel and leaving them, “em-bare-assed” in front of the world that is now laughing at them.
the israeli “response” was designed for public consumption in occupied palestine and occupied america, to buy the fading hegemon a little time, before they are confronted by their own ignorant citizenry. iran will most likely respond by ratcheting up the grand plan of soleimani to the next level of pain, slowly parboiling the ignorant zato frogs, limeys, yankoffs and murderous israelite larpers.
again, this is just the eastern front, in the larger world war, involving ukraine, taiwan and korea, in spite of what all the ignorant 5th coulmnist trolls here have to say about it.
CF: “No one other than a dwindling band of American politicians now wants to be seen in Israel’s or Netanyahu’s company.”
Really? A “dwindling band”?
Did Mr. Freeman really miss the 58 standing ovations Bibi rec’d from our Solons? Or the $20 billion plus they have voted him to commit genocide in Gaza?
Here is an excerpt from a letter recently rec’d from a US (SIC) Senator concerning israel:
“I voted for the Emergency National Security Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2024 (P. L. 118-50), which was signed into law on April 24, 2024. This law contains several provisions providing significant aid to Israel, in addition to addressing several other areas critical to national security. Specifically, P. L. 118-50 provides military support and diplomatic security to Israel, as well as critical funds for the Department of Defense (DoD), the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the Department of State (DoS), and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) to counter conflict in the Middle East and supply humanitarian aid. Additionally, this bill prohibited funding for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), an organization that has been proven complicit in operations with the terrorist organization, Hamas. The law also requires additional sanctions on exporters of Iranian petroleum or missile components, countries supporting Hamas or the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), and further regulates exports to Iran.
Despite all the forces aligned against it, Israel continues to hold strong our shared values.”
The Jew is dangerous. Usury is a tax. Usury is a tax on money conjured up at the moment the debt agreement is concluded. No money changes hands. The ledger in the instance of the loan records that the borrower owes the lender principal and interest for a set term. Only when the debtor signs the papers does the creditor enter the debt on its ledger. Borrower and lender agree that the money is lent in U.S. dollars and paid back in U.S. dollars. Only when the papers are signed does the creditor create the money. Then the debtor enters the principal on its ledger.
It is an arrangement which allows the debtor to participate in the dollar denominated global economy.
As a rule the debt includes a sideboard arrangement — factored in to buy American exports with a portion of the debt. Some of the debt is handling costs i.e., kickbacks by another name. Of course the borrowing country’s banks charge to facilitate the debt their country pledges as collateral. In effect another kickback. The imports are easily subject to an import tax — often paid in kind — you understand: ten for the country, one for me and one for you; ten for the country, one for me and one for you — and so on.
The global economy is corrupt. Taxpayers fund the entire scheme.
Corporations buy for pennies goods they then mark up, processing the markup at source, i.e. in the country of origin through a holding company, then land the goods in the country of receipt with documents attached showing a much higher cost of goods than was actually paid. Why?
Because the buyer can distribute the goods, showing therefore a higher purchase cost, which reduces the profit which in turn reduces the taxes the company would otherwise have to pay. It’s all done in such a way it is legal. The importing company then pays labour a minimum wage. The real profits are then only lightly taxed. The money is never patriated except as foreign investment.
That money is made on the backs of tax payers whom are in effect slaves. Of course this scheming is inflationary. Prices rise, taxes rise, interest rates rise — all done with greed, malice, dictatorial force and intention.
The entirety of United States citizens are milked like cows. Every evening millions of men, women and children sit down willingly for their evenings brainwashing. Buy, buy, buy — the American citizens measure of success — is the message. Every one of the big media properties is run by a Jew. Coincidence? You and I are programmed to believe these people are your friend.
Hitler is enjoying a great comeback, present even in the US presidential debates, with mutual accusation of being ‘Hitler.’ But given the increasingly confusing character of the caricature, Trump has now come up with the puzzling statement that he is “the opposite of Hitler.” He did not offer details to explain what being “the opposite of Hitler” boils down to.
The vaccine stuff is conspiracy theory– we got an experimental mRNA vaccine, and they learned how to work out propaganda and logistics in the face of an epidemic. Say what we will but Jews are masters at a game they’ve played for thousands of years now, good enough to know not to test such plans for the first time at global scale. All those pagers went off when and where they were supposed to. A toxic vaccine only killing the first group because production delays interrupted deployment would invite attention. COVID-19 was a test run. Any deaths are coincidental. Next time won’t be.
Russia absorbs a shit ton of migrants from the surrounding *stans, and opened borders a few years ago to deal with the same Jewish intellectual-manufactured population crisis the west has swallowed without question. I say that with scorn because in no sane world is the solution to such an event mass importation of the lowest-class individuals on the planet.
I don’t know what percent of UN agendas they support but they’re hardly the only ones that matter. They bowed to Jewish media interests in nuking allofmp3.com to join the WTO in 2001, respect DMCA takedown claims for media shared on VK and the same media interests and support have been used to undermine standing Russian anti-LGBT propaganda legislation passed in 2013. From performative lesbians Tatu (2001) to feminist Pussy Riot (2011), and lately “sissy hypno pornography” (2016) which follows the format of music videos but is explicit hardcore pornography set to pop music and overlaid with literal propaganda suggesting you should focus on the male parts because you are actually gay. All of it is pushed from outside to subvert the anti-indoctrination law, and has bled over to the west as well. Obscene pornography is a distinctly Jewish weapon; they broadcast it to Palestinians in previous Gaza invasions as well. I guess the DoD finally developed that “gay bomb” they were working on.
In addition, there are Russian resources like the confusingly-named pro-lgbt.ru that show quite a bit of counter-LGBT content that would never fly in the west, and even helpfully points out some of the papers written by western academics that have been suppressed by LGBT activists. Some of the articles have comments left by parents begging the Duma to do something stop the transgender madness. Kids wanting to castrate themselves really is a phenomenon that only started with viral marketing around 2010. It’s not fucking microplastics or soy.
Russia also gets blamed for everything worldwide; the Cambridge Analytica drama about election interference was much ado about nothing and overhyped to distract from AIPAC’s machinations. The media spares Russia no accusation. Anytime something gets hacked, it’s Russia (IME, it’s Israel). They aren’t treated like a loyal ZOGbot.
They’ve bent on some issues out of necessity but I wouldn’t say they’re compromised. Yet.
We’re going to take Lebanon, and Jordan, and Egypt, and…

News that I just read:
(This bitch here real name is Nimarata Nikki Randhawa) whose parents came from the Sikh cult, in India).
1- Nikki Haley: U.S. has long known UNRWA spreads anti-Israel, antisemitic hate; Biden-Harris funded it
Bitch, it’s the UN, they distribute food to the needy just like they do at your parents country!
2- Israeli Reservist Dies of Wounds Sustained in Southern Lebanon Combat, IDF Announces.
3- Israeli Officer and 4 Soldiers Killed by Explosive Device in North Gaza.
And finally even though Donald J Trump doesn’t tire of kissing Jew ass he still gets attacked by them:
4- Trump’s Revolting Festival of Racism, Hatred, Ignorance and Venom at Madison Square Garden.
(They are going crazy though 😂)
5- Aljazeera: ‘Ruthless massacre’: Israeli bombing kills 109 Palestinians in north Gaza.
Jewish Zionist Israel wants to stablish a ONE world jewish oligrachical govt. In order to achieve it, they must WIPE OUT ISLAM..and they will flood the MUSLIM NATIONS with SEX/pedo/pornography/TRANS/gay/lgbt/drugs/debt/Tax/enslavement/transhumanism/eutanasia/ABORTIONS/infanticide/organ/harvesting/terfficking/ a GODLESS AMORAL INHUMAN Jewish NWO…I believe in GOD but I do NOT believe in the JEWISH “GOD”…
Christ-cuckery is the essence of Whites around the world.
It’s certain the mere broadcast of this will be construed as anti-semitic.

Don’t miss this one: a soldier died from wounds sustained during fighting in the northern Gaza Strip earlier this month. It could be that he was bombing a school, hospital or a day care center to kill the ‘terroists’!!!!
IDF soldier dies of wounds sustained in north Gaza, raising ground op toll to 362
An obvious “zero” answer taints the rest of your text. We have enough *real* science from real pros to show that the clot shot bioweapon did what it was supposed to. Death, disability, social damage.
I note that the death toll was low enough to create mass distrust in the regime’s SOP and yet, are we not set up perfectly for a bio-strike with a real hardcore killer virus now?
Thanks for the perspectives on the other issues.
Yes the jews need Lebensraum.
That’s it only 362 killed? Shit any WWII battle even low level saw more then that. I want to see 10’s of thousands whacked like at the battle of Kursk on the Russian front in 43.
Haley, in my ‘umble ‘pinion, is a purely evil cunt. Licking Judeonazi arse does that to you. I think that the assertion that the Palestinians are brainwashed to hate Israelis is, perhaps, the nadir of rank dishonesty.
I mean, after near eighty years of massacre, murder, dispossession, rape, mass torture, slander and every other horror known to their ‘God’, Satan, inflicted on the Palestinians, the Jews deserve to be loved and worshiped by the ‘two-legged animals’, surely.
The ‘opposite of Hitler’? A meat-eating, smoking, dog-hater?
From the story about the four IDF soldiers killed:
None of you should be surprised, nor should you complain, when in the future the IDF just levels these buildings, rather than risk the lives of soldiers by sending them in where there may be booby-traps (personally, I think the officer who did that, or allowed them to enter, should be court-martialed) — I’d issue evacuation orders over a loudspeaker, than call in an airstrike to flatten the building with a JDAM.
Why post something like this as a comment? — can’t you think of anything else to say? — don’t answer, it’s a rhetorical question.
Well said. It takes someone with a high level of critical thinking to realize this. Russia’s position was a blow to say the least, especially since the whole Ukraine deal was instigated by Zionists on Capitol Hill to quash Russian power within the region.
[Covid is off-topic and such comments may get trashed.]
The death toll from COVID, sure. Deaths attributable to the vaccine itself are subject to debate though.
But yes– we are set up perfectly for a bio-strike with a real hardcore killer virus now. I expect this to be the Samson Option of choice; nukes leave an irradiated mess needing cleanup, and typhus was the real exterminator of WWII. I feel like I said as much though; whatever the “cause” of the outbreak, COVID-19 was an incidental test run to study. Whatever it is next time will be the real thing. Jews don’t run the CDC, the medical associations and every pharmaceutical company on the planet for the benefit of mankind.
The threat isn’t the vaccines; it is silly to kill someone with the “solution” when the “problem” is already designed for that purpose. The Jewish way of indirect violence would necessitate inoculation of themselves, and simply withholding the vaccines from the goyim (leaving them to die at the bottom of the well) the next time a deadly virus makes the rounds. When only the Jews survive, the earth is theirs.
Ouch. To each their own opinion, but everybody was sedentary for over a year in quarantine and propagandized by viral social media nonsense. Blood clots were always going to be a predictable outcome of sitting in place for a year; I bought a treadmill by month 2. They formed, they went untreated, and once people became active again after quarantine ended the clot breaks up and blocks a heart valve. That is simply what blood clots do. Not a function of a malicious vaccine “causing” clots. If anything a few shots of kumatin would have done a better job killing people post-quarantine than the vaccine itself.
My wife, kids and I took every round offered, across both manufacturers, and are all still alive and healthy enough to report in. “Clot shots” are a psyop; a sideshow. Keep your eyes peeled for the main attraction.
That’s what you get from a career based on eating Judeonazi faeces, and declaring it chocolate.
They’ve been bringing reserves up to go into Lebanon and Hezbollah has also been hitting their staging areas with rockets etc. IDF soldiers surely must be experiencing a bit of shell shock at this point and they can lay the blame for that and everything else that’s happened at Netanyahu and his gang’s feet. The situation with Iran isn’t over by a long shot either. I’m not so sure Iran will strike back after this ineffective Israeli attack, but I am certain the Israelis are going to attack Iran again. The Israelis are determined to go the F.A.A.F.O. route with Iran and, unfortunately, it appears the die is cast for them to find out. They’ve been warned over and over and over. Hezbollah has sleeper cells in Mexico and, at this point, I’m sure there are operatives inside the US as well. This is what happens when you allow a pipsqueak country like Israel to attach itself to your country. They make their problems and wars, your problems and wars and in the process, they take you down with them. Christian Zionists have a lot to answer for as well.
Pretending that Israel acts with any rationale other than the Dahiya doctrine to level buildings in Gaza only makes you look even more Zionist.
To underscore the point that messianic jerkwads like Smotrich are so full of shit, it’s bleeding out their ears.
Not a rhetorical answer. 🕶️
I have also noticed this as well. Brendan ‘O Connell has some good takes on this what Russia is really up to.
India is big alright, not a power but a shithole. India is a big shithole populated by the primitive and stinking pajeets.
Agree 100%
Hamas came to power by elections in 2006.And then?
No more elections.
Hamas is precisely in the same category as thugs, dictators etc etc, despite the best efforts of this “ambassador” to pretend otherwise.
Jews loved SPARTACUS as a rebellion movie against the Roman Empire.
But now, the slaves in revolt are the Palestinians and the New Romans are the Jews.
The Jews won’t allow another election because HAMAS would be the hands down winner.
600 Hamas captured??? Jews lie as others breath. The Jews would have killed them like they killed hospital patients.
Anybody who reads this and does not come to the conclusion, for a variety of reasons, that the holocaust myth has to publicly destroyed and jews have to be eternally shamed for the propagation of this blood libel, are just not capable of reading comprehension.
You slimy, moronic, lying piece of kosher shit-it was the Judeonazis, the Palestinian Quislings like Abbas and Dahlan, and the USA who obstructed the elected Hamas members of parliament and all future elections. How does ANYONE become as viciously hypocritical and lying as this?
“in the future the IDF just levels these buildings, rather than risk the lives of soldiers by sending them in where there may be booby-traps…”
“in the future???” Yeah, right, they may just start leveling buildings in the future, you lying moron .
” I’d issue evacuation orders over a loudspeaker, than call in an airstrike to flatten the building with a JDAM.”
I think you are wasting your talents here, just posting venomous garbage. You should be there leveling buildings, genocide fanatic.
Nothing touches my heart more than the Jews’ fretting over the lack of democracy in the nations they seek to destroy.
“Just like Brazil, all the other BRICS are also members of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), called the central bank of central banks. It’s just a big Jew fleecing scheme. Until the BRICS can escape from this scheme, all their meetings are basically pointless, because they are not addressing the heart of the problem: debt-slavery to the Jews. Here is what former Central Bank of Brazil President Gustavo Franco said about the power of the BIS” [Emphasis added]
That is hitting the proverbial nail on the kippa.
They were still extraordinarily unsafe
Tax payers as I used it is a euphemism. No matter quibbling about the nomenclature. Leviathan has everyone by the throat. Debt, counterparty, debt, taxes, regulations are man made constructs.
Word salads are meaningless. Few people care to attempt to decipher a string of meme bombs and obscure tropes. Obviously economies in particular and the global economy is in tatters.
The professor speaks English perfectly, he is thoughtful, he does not present a word salad of misleading misinformation. He does not pretend to predict the outcome of the present genocide but he informs us that the Iranians are resolute. His remarks about the decline of the U.S. and the reason for that decline — unequivocal Congressional support for Israel — show he is under no illusions about the reason for muddle in the Middle East. Netanyahu is the tail wagging the dog.
He argues with good reason that the American empire is in serious decline. He thinks Israel is done for; maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but in any event, inevitably. He remarks how hated the Americans are throughout the world. Although he well understands it is the Zionists whom are responsible.
Well worth watching and hearing him. Obviously well educated, well informed, well spoken and calm. No sign of hyperbole now common among the entire cast of talking heads in the West.
I would suggest he is reflecting just how mature and coordinated is the Arab leadership. Netanyahu set a trap. And the trap snapped shut on his own meddling fingers. Netanyahu cannot now claim — as is their fashion — that they are other than they are demonstrating in Gaza. They are a perverse people completely without a conscience. Now, there is no doubt about it. They pretended for centuries that they were hated for no reason. Now the reason is clear for the world to see. Thank you Netanyahu!
From the perspective of Putin’s mother Russia, Israel is baby Russia in the Middle East. Putin consideres Palestine as Novorossiya II.
There is no question that America, Israel, and Russia have partitioned Syria among themselves after emptying Syria of its inhabitants through extermination and forced exile. What is puzzling is why America agrees to the formation of Novorossiya II in the Middle East but opposes it in Eastern Ukraine. Imperialists confuse me!
Unlike the USSR Russia is no progressive force in history. At present it is mainly in a defensive posture, but it loves to be imperial when it can. If you read RT articles between the lines you will easily see Russia’s chauvinist zionist and imperialist ambitions.
The wretched of the earth have no big daddy. The orphans must struggle for survival independently.
Beest to remain silent on an issue that you are ignorant on because you only end up looking foolish.
COVID Vaccines Pose 112,000% Greater Risk of Brain Clots, Strokes Than Flu Shots
