Are we to expect the worthless “sanctions” ticket by the EU shortly? It provides a free pass on weekends from 9:00 – 18:00 (so maybe worth it when you’re stuck)

Occupied Palestine: Democratic Overdose on Occupied Land
Excessive Levels of Democratic Governance Model/Values Continue to be “Played Out” on Occupied Land; how inspiring to watch the perpetrators, the observers and enablers dancing to the same tune miles apart while “lying undercover”. Truly, the so-called western alliance has become one big/fat joke. Of course the bigger joke are […]
Read More Mideast: Palestinians Exist (job done, well done….)
Just another day in the occupied territories (nothing much…..) Well at least Palestinians got recognition from some western nations they “exist” that should do the trick…

GAZA Board of Peanuts Spilling More Peanuts
Board of Peanuts Reached a Deal with Hamas Say’s Who? Say’s Trump! (oh, ok, subject closed…) This is becoming a trend and the intention behind it seems to be as follows; diversions intended to give confidence something is in the works, then a disagreement to prolong the conflict and give […]

Middle East: Settler Violence in the West Bank (STRICTLY NOT FOR EU CONSUMPTION)
STRICTLY NOT FOR EU CONSUMPTION (that goes without saying) but if you think its for US consumption you must be kidding (the west becomes the wild west because they still seem to think they can get away with it ‘scot-free’)
Read More Palestine: Running Out the Clock on Human Lives
Legally speaking ignoring genocide is complicity in genocide however long it takes for accountability to kick in. Pragmatically speaking you may not experience these atrocities but there are clear signs of blowback from these conflicts at multiple levels; economically (obviously), politically in terms of foreign meddling/pressure points, civil liberties as […]
Read More The Palestine Action Ban Verdict (my personal take)
What I’m making here are my own observations – from what I know/my understanding of it as of today and not claiming to know all the facts – on the verdict as a non-legal expert; though I have a BA in law I never practiced law though I’m always quite […]
Read More Iran War: The “Art of the Deal” Was Never Actually “for Real”!!!
You know what the truly sad part in all of this which bothers me; its that the EU is standing by shackled – no meaningful inputs just verbal/inconsequential outputs for a union hoping to lead, but the question would be who’d care follow. I certainly hope this changes quickly but […]
Read More Kaja Kallas, the EU’s Top ‘Coordinator’
The point of Kaja Kallas is stated by Kaja Kallas…NOT the EU’s Top Diplomat but Top Coordinator with a nice salary to go with it. Now here’s a question; if she is the coordinator what business is it of hers attending global forums representing the EU when she’s liable to […]
Read More Mark Carney’s “Confused” Views on Iran Obscure rather than Reveal – Time for Change of Course
First things first; the revelation that a leader is invited to a news conference with the american child before even any negotiations start is absolutely hilarious; that’s an entire satire show in of itself. As for Carney’s comments about how he perceives Iran/conflict – something many European leaders subscribe to […]

Diplomatic outrage with flotilla activist abuse video & PM Giorgia Meloni’s Inspiring response
I totally ‘appreciate’ PM Giorgia Meloni’s response (link to article below); “images were ‘UNACCEPTABLE’ [she might as well copy paste that term from previous/similar abuse statements she made – I mean why in the world waste precious time rewriting it?]” and then based on this article she demanded the release […]
Read More EU “finally” Sanctions West Bank settlers
Sanction Israeli settlers again?! Didn’t than happen in 2024 or is the location difference what matters here/and what good has this achieved? How about government, trade, leaders? Nope, none of that, its much too on the nose, so to speak! Making a difference is NOT the point here, stonewalling pretty […]
Read More Mideast/Occupation: Dysfunctional Democracy & Indoctrination
Whenever a democratic state becomes blindsided from its core values; either due to its own self interest or the interest of foreign rogue states you know for a fact that you’re in the ballpark of a dysfunctional democracy. However, when that state goes a step further of engaging/supporting genocide, while […]
Read More The EU & the Iran War: Talk the Talk but Don’t Walk the Walk
Here’s what’s happening (in my opinion) 1. The EU rather than contributing in efforts to de-escalate and come up with a new vision to resolve consequential conflicts, they take the tried and tested role; arrogantly demanding others to change course without addressing key issues or getting involved beyond throwing tax […]
Read More Paris to host international meeting on Israeli-Palestinian conflict in June
Well done Sir, Well done France! I can only hope this is a genuine effort and that it proves to be the ultimate beginning of the end to the suffering on both sides. The region deserves better but due to the painful history it does require external partners to make […]
Read More Social Media Coercion: The Panic Button “PRESSED” (may happen at a button near you)
Forget about the title for a second and consider this little nugget; the powerful efforts we see from pressing this button only amplifies the realities of the system that existed before that button was pressed. In other words one begins to understand how the system was/is rigged from within by/in […]
Read More Finally, the EU Properly “Stretches” in Facing Up to the Mideast Crisis
Make no mistake about it, the EU finally takes action where it matters. The kind of action one makes when “stretching” while sitting on a chair. How you can tell that, well not too difficult; 1. The statement on mideast conflict read by someone other than the EU President, while […]

Germany’s Economic Resilience in Check
A brief comment Developing economic resilience can only get you so far; what is also needed is developing political engagement and promoting / respecting international law globally because there is no such thing as geopolitical barriers; thats the blindside cause without order all bets are pretty much off. Quite an […]
Read More The Moment for Political Courage
For some it’s about empty statements and getting “sophisticated / technical”; in other words you buy a flashy yet empty clean as a whistle box. For others however it much simpler than that; its about going back to basics and naming things for what they are. In layman terms its […]
Read More EU fails to cut economic ties with Israel but a “clever” idea proposed!
[German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul called the proposal “inappropriate”. “We have to talk with Israel about the critical issues,” he said at the start of the meeting.] Now how in the world did we all miss that one? And while we’re at it why not apply this exact/same posture in […]
Read More Israel & the Question of “Values”?
Well, we’ve seen genocide against civilians and now even religious symbols are also being destroyed, but of course that’s not say religious structures and personnel – including christians – have not been in the firing line and open to abuse for decades; this is not new. What is new is […]
Read More Iran War: Self-Defence, who are you kidding?
I guess the salient point of the clip is what is now considered conventional wisdom in corrupt politics but here a little twist; Trace the Money to uncover the shared “Values” (it really isn’t complicated but we’re constantly being gaslighted to believe it is…). And by the way how did […]
Read More Israel’s Death Penalty ‘Blatantly racist’, really????
It’s NOT about a LAW but about an entire SYSTEM. People who are proposing a 1 state solution with Palestinians/Israeli’s living side by side within one state are delusional (putting it mildly). As for the western backlash, oh I’m so sorry because you’re actually a few decades too late and […]
Read More Palestine: Mideast Analysis/Paralysis
Great analysis in this clip. The problem is that we’re at a point/time where action to save lives is more urgent than analysis and matters of history. The way I feel is that there should be a firm international intervention – would be great if led my country’s in the […]
Read More Palestine: Francesca Albanese’s Holding Truth to Power – She Deserves an Award/Prize (NOT being silenced)
Francesca Albanese is fighting pretty much by herself for the soul of humanity and international law and the reason she’s constantly being attacked is simple; she’s challenging the power structure that has existed for generations and tirelessly trying her best to help us see through the scam we’ve been sold […]
Read More Palestine: Francesca Albanese’s UN Report (in the words of the victims) & My Brief Take – Viewer Discretion is advised
Nothing is unclear about the realities of Palestinian suffering or controversial about Francesca Albanese statements and reports. If wester leaders/states – who are already implicated big time whether they choose to remain silent or decide to act now – have any doubts whatsoever about the realities in the reports presented […]
Read More Palestine: The Right to Exist
I never knew how dumb this question actually is until I watched Francesca Albanese respond to it so effectively. I guess when you hear something so often you begin to accept it without even thinking about it. In other words this question actually raises yet another question of the right […]

Read More Friedrich Merz Takes Half a Stand
Well of course I do not speak German myself but I’m basing my view on online translations of the clip, and so let me make 3 points; Merz’s panic mode when seeing someone raising a Palestinian flag is quite revealing – a pandora’s box seems to have opened ever so […]
Read More Mideast Foreign Policy: My Final Word
As the French would say “oh la la, la la, la la” (to me this phrase is not really French until ‘la la’ is repeated 3 times) – but then again everything can be repeated pretty much to your hearts content. Here’s a final point I would like to make; […]
Read More US Attacks Iran: A Defensive War After All!
So our clever prime minister keir starmer now making yet another U-turn (his trademark letter) and now allows US to launch attacks on Iran to degrade its ability to defend itself as a purely defensive measure by the UK. So it turns out that this conflict is purely defensive in […]

Read More US Attacks Iran: Keir Starmer’s Inspiring Update
So the logic goes something along the lines of; We’ve learnt lessons of Iraq so we support unprovoked/illegal attacks on Iran but we don’t expect them to retaliate and hit targets used as launch pads to hit their nation in the gulf or elsewhere – (as they’ve threatened to do […]
Read More US Attacks Iran: Mark Carney a Huge Disappointment
Mark Carney turns out to be a huge disappointment; similar to his stance on Maduro’s abduction and where international law is concerned he seems to pay lip service to the left yet constantly turns right. This gold rush to China by Canadian and European is meaningless and will be a […]

Keir Starmer makes impressive points so lets break them down One moment he talks about protecting International Law and the other he seems quite supportive of US actions on Iran (or at least does not condemn it) an act that undermines International Law in every possible way. One moment he […]

A new global order based on conventional power pushing towards a new global disorder based on unconventional power; lets see how things pan out. That said it is alway quite reassuring for the EU to release a “pragmatic” statement along the lines; “the developments in Iran were greatly concerning” – and […]

Political Nuggets: No War in GAZA
Nope, this is NOT about tragedies of war but atrocities/genocide committed in the name of war where there is no actual war. Nope, no rocket science just pure common sense/keeping it simple. Its not about left/right, zionist/non-zionist ideology its about clear undistorted realities that will haunt human conscience for decades […]
