Jonathan Ofir | A new Israeli Democracy Institute survey shows that 68% of Jewish Israelis oppose “the transfer of humanitarian aid to Gaza residents.” | This is a shocking data point. The Israeli Democracy Institute released a survey this week showing that over 2/3 of Jewish Israelis – 68% that is – opposed “the transfer of humanitarian aid to Gaza residents at this time.” ● It gets even worse – the survey lowered the bar to exclude any possible opposition to either UNRWA (which Israel has been inciting against) or the Hamas authorities (which Israel considers terrorists). To no avail. Over two-thirds still oppose humanitarian help “via international bodies that are not linked to Hamas or to UNRWA… A majority of Jewish respondents (68%) oppose the transfer of humanitarian aid even under these conditions,” the survey notes. ● The numbers are worse when it comes to right-wing Jewish Israelis, where the opposition is at 80% – four out of five. And consider that about 2/3 of Israeli voters are considered right-wing. ● One really has to pause here. We are in a situation where Palestinians in Gaza are starving, people are consuming animal feed in their desperation. The week the UN’s World Food Programme reported people in Gaza are “already dying from hunger-related causes,” and a UNICEF nutrition screening in north Gaza found that 1 in 6 children under two years old are acutely malnourished. Israelis are not completely ignorant of this. They are supporting genocide by an overwhelming majority.

As part of its defense of the illegal Jewish ONLY occupation of Palestinian territories, the US ambassador asked if the court condemns Hamas | The International Court of Justice (ICJ) held its third day of hearings on 21 February on the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian West Bank territories. ● The ICJ is now halfway through its hearing in which 52 nations and three organizations – the Arab League, Organization of Islamic Cooperation, and African Union – are set to present arguments related to Israel’s illegal occupation of the West Bank, Gaza, and Jerusalem.

Kiev will be able to use the fighter jets outside its claimed borders, the bloc’s head has said | Once Ukraine receives F-16 fighter jets it will be free to use them against military targets inside Russia, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg has said. ● Stoltenberg’s comments were made in an interview to Radio Liberty, the US government-funded broadcaster, which is scheduled to air on Friday. According to snippets released in advance, the NATO head argued that Ukraine has the right to self-defense against Russian “aggression,” which would include “striking legitimate Russian military targets outside Ukraine.” ● As to when the government in Kyiv might actually receive the promised jets, Stoltenberg would not say. Each NATO member that pledged to deliver them has different policies and will decide on their own.
The left-wing in the United States is so foul, so devious, so wretchedly deceitful, they're offering $15 an hour to "Actors" to pretend to be Anti-Trump Protestors in Phoenix and in West Palm Beach, tomorrow. All these "anti- (Insert topic here)" are mostly fakes! The left wing manufactures "protests" trying to pass them off as "grass roots activism" when in fact, they hire ACTORS to make pretend. This is what the left-wing is, in real life. Don't believe much of what you see or hear from them.
The American private spacecraft “Odyssey”, developed by the Texas-based company Intuitive Machines, successfully landed on the Moon, as reported by AFP. | According to Reuters, this event represents the first time in fifty years that the United States has landed on the Moon. The agency highlights that, notably, this lunar landing was accomplished using a privately owned spacecraft. ● “Odyssey” touched down near the southern pole of our natural satellite and began transmitting signals after a few minutes, setting off excitement in the control room. Reuters notes that the design of “Odyssey” does not include provisions for live video transmission from the moment of the Moon landing. ● The private company that owns “Odyssey” has a contract with NASA to launch six lunar surface exploration devices into orbit. The launch of the “Odyssey” module was followed by a month-long unsuccessful landing attempt of another American spacecraft “Peregrine”, on the Moon.
Benjamin Netanyahu has presented his plans for the "day after" the war on Gaza to the Israeli war cabinet. | Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has presented the Israeli war cabinet with a document of principles regarding the occupation's plots for the future of the Gaza Strip. ● Although discussions regarding these plans have been framed under plans for the "day after" the war on the Gaza Strip comes to an end, the glaring proposition from the document is the continued direct occupation of several sectors in the Gaza Strip. Netanyahu said that the Israeli occupation forces will do so until the full "de-militarization" of the Strip is achieved, adding that their presence in the Gaza Strip will be indefinite.

On Tuesday, the final appeal for WikiLeaks co-founder Julian Assange to avoid extradition to the United States began. Days earlier, his wife and lawyer, Stella Assange, warned that if the journalist is not released soon, the stress of the case and his confinement could kill him, adding that he “will die” if extradited to the US.
💬 “His health is in decline, mentally and physically. His life is at risk every single day he stays in prison, and if he’s extradited, he will die,” Stella Assange said at a media briefing in London.
Julian Assange, an Australian national, could face up to 175 years in prison if extradited to the United States on espionage charges. ● But the US has no plans for Assange to stand trial in the United States, Dan Kovalik, a professor, human rights lawyer and peace activist told Sputnik’s The Critical Hour on Tuesday.
💬 “If [Julian Assange] is sent to the US, they’re just going to delay the trial as long as they can so that they can guarantee that he’ll die in jail,” Kovalik explained. “That’s always been the plan.”

Maryam Aldossari | Some western 'champions' of the feminist cause have reserved their fury for the plight of Israeli women, ignoring the catastrophic suffering in Gaza | From the outset of the war on Gaza, an unsettling narrative has permeated western media, portraying Israel as a paragon of civilisation starkly contrasted against the bastion of backwardness that is the Middle East. Some pundits have even gone as far as reducing its people to the level of the animal kingdom. ● Such bias is nothing new, further amplified in the UK by outlets such as UnHerd, as media propaganda continues the unsettling tradition of misrepresenting the Arab community. But it has been unexpectedly troubling to hear such distortions echoed by British feminists and activists. ● If you are following well-known UK feminists in hopes of finding a united outcry and empathy for the violence faced by Palestinian women and children, I am afraid you will be deeply disappointed.
Catherine Austin Fitts | The U.S. Federal Reserve and its central banking allies are engineering unprecedented changes in the financial system. How do we know this? Because they speak openly about what they intend to do. | I want to show you three 1-minute videos today that describe the vision of total central control currently being implemented by the central banks. ● The first is a clip from an IMF panel in October 2020. The speaker is Agustín Carstens, the general manager of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) in Basel, Switzerland. The BIS is the central bank of central banks, which enjoys the powers of sovereign immunity. The Federal Reserve is one of 63 central banks which are BIS members, including the Bank of England, the European Central Bank, and the Bank of China. In this clip, Mr. Carstens is describing the nature of central bank digital currency or CBDC. The BIS is leading a global effort to implement CBDC, including a partnership with the Federal Reserve. Let’s see what Mr. Carstens says about where he hopes our money is going.
According to a joint report by three journalists, the US intelligence community inappropriately used its foreign allies to spy on Trump associates in order to circumvent a law that prohibits the CIA from domestic spying. | Three journalists recently published an article in which they allege that the United States Intelligence Community (IC), including the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), illegally requested its English speaking counterparts—the “Five Eyes” including the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand--- to spy on former President Donald Trump advisors and campaign aides before he was elected to the White House in 2016. ● Ray McGovern, who served as a CIA analyst for 27 years, returned to Sputnik’s The Critical Hour and explained his experience with the "Russiagate" conspiracy, adding that the truth was hidden from Americans for more than six years.
💬 “Not only did the [House Intelligence Committee] (HPSCI) authorize the Five Eyes, those are the cooperative security services of the US, Britain, Canada, New Zealand and Australia, all English-speaking folks, a vestige of World War Two. They authorized them to collect dirt on 26 Trump staffers,” said McGovern.

Civil rights icon spent time in Khan Younis refugee camp and listened to Palestinian poetry, inspiring him to write an essay about the Israeli occupation | The human rights activist and Muslim preacher Malcolm X was killed 59 years ago today, on 21 February 1965. Though mainly known for his advocacy for the civil rights of Black communities in the United States, he also spent much of his life speaking on the struggles of peoples worldwide. ● Particularly during the latter years of his life - after breaking away from the Black nationalist and separatist Nation of Islam - Malcolm began to interact with leaders and organisers across the globe. During extensive travels in Africa and the Middle East in 1964, he met several postcolonial pan-African and pan-Arab leaders, including then-Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser, Ghanian Prime Minister Kwame Nkrumah, and Guinea President Ahmed Sekou Toure.

The backing from the US President is expected to garner greater support from allies for Rutte's nomination. | US President Joe Biden is reportedly endorsing Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte to succeed Jens Stoltenberg as the next NATO secretary-general, according to a US official cited by Politico on Wednesday. The backing from the US President is expected to garner greater support from allies for Rutte's nomination. ● Earlier on Wednesday, Politico stated that approximately two-thirds of NATO nations are currently supporting the nomination of Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte to assume leadership of NATO this year. However, it is crucial to note that the decision necessitates unanimous agreement among all NATO member states. The report also mentioned that Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas and Latvian Foreign Minister Krisjanis Karins are not considered potential candidates as they have not officially submitted their candidacies, according to NATO officials.
A professor of government at Georgetown University in Qatar says the United States’ approach toward the Israeli war on Gaza is purely hypocritical. | “U.S. policy toward the war has been nothing other than hypocritical,” Professor Mehran Kamrava tells the Tehran Times. The professor also says there is no doubt that “the primary objective” of Israel is to depopulate Gaza of “its Palestinian population”.
Israel's economy shrank by far more than expected in the final quarter of last year in the wake of the war on the besieged Gaza Strip, marking sharpest contraction since the pandemic. | Israel’s Central Bureau of Statistics said in a statement that economy plunged 19.4% in the final three months of 2023, as significant resources were diverted to the regime’s military engagement in the war on the coastal sliver. That is the equivalent of a fall of 5% between October and December. ● According to British daily business newspaper the Financial Times, the significant downturn in Israel’s economy was partially due to mobilizing 300,000 reservists, who abandoned their jobs and businesses for extended presence in the military. ● Other factors involved the Tel Aviv regime’s funding housing for over 120,000 settlers, who left the northern and southern regions of the 1948-occupied territories close to the border with the Gaza Strip.

The US has vetoed a United Nations security council resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza for the third time, arguing that it would undermine negotiations over a hostage agreement. | The US was the lone vote against a ceasefire resolution put forward on Tuesday by Algeria. The UK was the sole abstention, with 13 votes in support, including those of close allies of Washington who insisted the humanitarian needs of Palestinians outweighed any reservations over the Algerian text. Washington was widely lambasted for using its veto again at a time when nearly 30,000 Palestinians have been killed and more than 2 million people are under threat of famine.

Michael Shellenberger and Peter Boghossian | By describing the psychopathological characteristics of extremist movements, we will reduce their power | Over the last few years, Woke progressives have behaved in increasingly odd ways. Black Lives Matter activists in Washington, D.C., screamed at and hovered over a woman sitting peacefully in a restaurant, demanding that she raise her fist in a salute. Climate activists threw soup at a Van Gogh painting, dumped milk on the floor of a grocery store, and cemented their hands to an airport runway. And transgender activists claimed, falsely, that there was a “genocide” against trans people, even though there’s no evidence that trans-identified people are being killed at higher rates than non-trans people. ● Some of these behaviors can be explained by the fact that Wokeism is a religion. Two years ago, the two of us published a chart, “Woke Religion: A Taxonomy,” and an accompanying essay, which described how race, climate, trans, and other Woke activists had created their own versions of original sin, taboos, and myths. We turned the taxonomy into a poster and sold hundreds of copies. Both of us still get emails from people saying that the chart helped them to understand why so many previously secular people appear to be in the grip of a deeply superstitious religion.
Chris Hedges | Julian Assange will make his final appeal this week to the British courts to avoid extradition. If he is extradited it is the death of investigations into the inner workings of power by the press. | If Julian Assange is denied permission to appeal his extradition to the United States before a panel of two judges at the High Court in London this week, he will have no recourse left within the British legal system. His lawyers can ask the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) for a stay of execution under Rule 39, which is given in “exceptional circumstances” and “only where there is an imminent risk of irreparable harm.” But it is far from certain that the British court will agree. It may order Julian’s immediate extradition prior to a Rule 39 instruction or may decide to ignore a request from the ECtHR to allow Julian to have his case heard by the court. [...] Julian’s “crime” is that he published classified documents, internal messages, reports and videos from the U.S. government and U.S. military in 2010, which were provided by U.S. army whistleblower Chelsea Manning. This vast trove of material revealed massacres of civilians, torture, assassinations, the list of detainees held at Guantanamo Bay and the conditions they were subjected to, as well as the Rules of Engagement in Iraq. Those who perpetrated these crimes — including the U.S. helicopter pilots who gunned down two Reuters journalists and 10 other civilians and severely injured two children, all captured in the Collateral Murder video — have never been prosecuted.
Russia recorded cases of Ukrainian troops using US-made chemical grenades in the special military operation zone, according to Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, the head of the radiation, chemical and biological defense troops of the Russian armed forces. | Russia's Radiological, Chemical and Biological Defence Troops (RChBD) have documented cases of the use of poisonous chemicals by the Ukrainian military. ● According to Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, some of those substances were contained in the US-made weapons. ● In particular, Ukrainian forces used US-made gas grenades loaded with "CS" capable of causing skin burns and respiratory paralysis, meaning Washington violated the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) ratified by the US on April 25, 1997. ● Ukraine received US-made chemical weapons along with HIMARS systems, Patriot missile defense complexes, howitzers, etc "directly from the United States," Igor Nikulin, military expert, former member of the UN Commission on Chemical and Biological Weapons, told Sputnik.
