Warsaw War Saws: Trumpeting for Less Peace and Security in the Middle East

Sending Positive Vibes

The fig leaves are falling. Crooked puppet dictators with no dignity obeyed US/Israel dictats and lost credibility by attending the failed PR/Hasbara conference drumming up for war in Iran (held in Warsaw last week) but really is for Netanyahu's election campaign and Trump's end-of-times doomsday Christian Zionist supporters.

Acting against the wishes of their people, they openly embraced the apartheid regime of Israel and got only black-face to show for it [1,2].

Meanwhile, hypocritical US politicians and mainstream media supposedly opposed to Trumpian policies applauded the march for war against Iran and the attacks on Russia and China (not toeing the Israeli line to liquidate the Palestinian cause).

Like the failure of the US/Israeli terrorists (ISIS) in Syria, imperial designs on Venezuela and Iran will fail because both of them have more democracy than any of the US led stooge governments and even the US itself which is run by monied interests [3].

They assume people have short memories about genocidal zio-imperialistic wars on Libya, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, and Afghanistan.

We even remember Iran 1953 and Chile 1973. That is why people laugh when they hear Zionist and American politicians speak about democracy in Venezuela when standing next to Gulf Monarchs (and I am not talking about butterflies here). Meanwhile Israel daily violates international law and human rights [4] and even crimes against humanity and against nature.

I drive on segregated roads and cannot even visit my city of Jerusalem 3 miles away while any Jew or convert to Judaism can come and get automatic citizenship and live on land stolen from my friends and relatives right here and travel freely anywhere! Can this be any clearer to billions of people?

Zionist lobbies around the world try to stifle any criticism of Israel, divert attention (e.g. to Iran) and are especially focused on stifling two things: any exposure of the Israel lobby [5] and the BDS movement [6]. The very well managed PR/media coverage (Hasbara) ensures distorting reality to serve colonization [7] by vilifying and lobbying so that human rights are not discussed. But the tide is clearly shifting and the media and politician hypocrisy is becoming glaringly obvious.

I sometime think that letting them do foolish things like the Warsaw conference and sanctions on Russia, China, etc is the best to accelerate the demise of empire.

Yet empires need and must be challenged. Every day we struggle thinking of whether we are living and acting in line with our conscience and beliefs. All humans do this but some compromise their principles for sake of convenience, money, avoiding difficulties etc. Others are more pure and principled and some sacrifice their lives to stay true to those principles.

I lost 19 friends killed by Israeli occupation forces in the past 10 years. Each one of them was true to principles. We also lose friends true to their principles by natural causes, friends especially from abroad. People like Hedy Epstein, Hajo Meyer, Gale Toensing,

Qavi and many more. Last week we lost the poet Khalil Touma and we lost Jeremy Hardy of Medical Aid for Palestine. Below [8] is a short film of Jeremy when he visited us investigating medical conditions under colonial occupation. But we should not wait till people die to be grateful for their actions. Millions are acting.

It is all about money. A report by Human Rights Watch details how the
