When the Dead Speak and the Living Refuse to Listen

When Palestinians have attempted to break through the wall of silence that encloses the Gaza Strip and describe the crimes Israel has committed, they have been systematically killed: while reporting, while videotaping and photographing, while driving, while interviewing, while sleeping at home with their families. More than 210 have been killed, with more being targeted each week. All to keep the word from getting out. There’s never been this kind of “censorship” by drone in any other war. Yet, here we must confront a confounding double silence. Not just the terrible silence of the murdered journalists, but the deadly silence of their colleagues in the Western media about their killings and those who killed them. This is a silence that kills and buries the story along with the journalists who risked their lives to report it.

The difference between children

Something here has to rise up and scream: Enough. All the excuses and all the explanations will not help – there is no such thing as a child that is allowed to be killed and a child that is not. There are only children killed for nothing, hundreds of children whose fate touches no one in Israel.

Trump administration working on plan to move one million Palestinians to Libya

The Trump administration is working on a plan to permanently relocate up to 1 million Palestinians from the Gaza Strip to Libya, five people with knowledge of the effort told NBC News.The plan is under serious enough consideration that the administration has discussed it with Libya’s leadership, two people with direct knowledge of the plans and a former U.S. official said. In exchange for the resettling of Palestinians, the administration would potentially release to Libya billions of dollars of funds that the U.S. froze more than a decade ago, those three people said.

Fires Ablaze in a Stolen Land: A Failing Zionist Project in Flames

The forests that cover the demolished Palestinian villages of the 1948 Nakba are ablaze at a time when Israel prepares to celebrate its 80th anniversary of colonial settler independence. This is an apt symbol for the smoldering toxins within a failing Zionist system turning to ash. The genocidal apartheid state requests the West for help to fight the fires, whilst, without any scruples whatsoever, its military burns children and adults alive in Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon, courtesy of US, British, French and German bombs, to the cheers of most Israelis and the Zionist international.

Bulletin

The CDPQ December 31, 2022, year-end report is out and shows $2.4+B investments in a dozen companies (up from 10 from last year) that are listed on the UN Data base as complicit with war crimes. These combine with $10 B in other companies complicit with Israeli war crimes, including $3.5B in WSP, the Montreal headquartered company that is under investigation to be added to the UN data base. CDPQ also has majority ownership in Allied Universal (which purchased G4S) of at least $1.5 B (but more likely much more, perhaps around $7B).
