From the Outrageous to the Bizarre: News from Empire's Edge

The Tamimis

News gets more bizarre every week. It was revealed that Mohammad (Kushner) Bin Salman has spent a billion dollars to buy a home in France and one Leonardo da Vinci painting and another trillion dollars buying weapons from US Corporations (whose only use will be to kill more Yemeni civilians).

More bizarre for me was that Mahmoud Abbas dutifully condemned the rocket fired from Yemen in self-defense after Saudi Jets have dropped tons of US and British bombs on Yemeni cities.

Then we hear the Zionist puppets Nimrata Randhawa (who changed her name to Nicki Haley) and the (orange) bully Trump threaten countries who were about to vote at the UN based in support of international law (which says Israel is an occupying power in Jerusalem). Despite these bizarre threats, 128 countries voted with, 9 against, and 35 (shamefully) abstained (those who did not vote with international law should be held accountable by their people so please check how your country voted and challenge them).

Nimrata and the Orange puppets were really angry!! Their bosses in Tel Aviv were acting their usual schizophrenic, superiority/inferiority self. Resistance forces around the Arab World are growing. Collaborators are confused what to do (some are privately calling me for advise about the best way to reclaim a resistance heritage and step back from the brink ;-).

On the ground, the world's 4th or 5th largest army (by weapons and by manpower) who failed against Hamas and Hizballah went after more Palestinian children and unarmed civilians trying to hang on to our land (again the superiority-inferiority complex would explain this). So they arrested our friends Ahed Tamimi of Nebi Saleh (16 years old), her mother Nariman, her father Bassem, and her cousin Nour after shooting another cousin in the face (and injuring and abducting hundreds more in the last week).

I urge everyone to get informed then write to your elected officials and to the mainstream media and to use social media to publicize the injustices and demand freedom for all prisoners and for an end to the colonization and apartheid in all of Palestine. Some calls for action to release the Tamimi family and all child political prisoners:
