Who Are the Houthis and Why are They Blocking International Shipping Lanes?

If you are unclear as to who the Houthis are; if you are wondering why they are trying to block international shipping lanes; if you are confused as to why the US government has relabeled them a ‘terrorist organization,’ then watch this video.

It will clear up everything:

The Gray Zone: Life in Jerusalem Under Israel’s Military Dictatorship

The video speaks for itself.

I have shopped and eaten at the Educational Bookshop many times. It is generally the first place I visit when in Jerusalem.

Miko Peled: How Israel Indoctrinates Its People

Israel is one of the most militarized societies in the world.

Military service is compulsory for all graduating high school seniors. Everyone remains a member of the military reserves and is eligible for a  call back into active service well into middle-age.

Israeli dissident, Miko Peled, son of a famous Israeli general and former soldier himself, explains how this militarization of civil society affects Israel’s culture and indoctrinates its people.

Some Call It Censorship; I Call It Anti-Arab Racism

Krystal Ball at Breaking Point news offers a penetrating look at anti-Palestinian media bias.

The way in which people and events are described in news reports tells us a lot about the prejudices, likes and dislikes of news producers and reporters.

In western media Jews and the state of Israel are generally covered very positively. Whereas, Palestinians and the victims of Israel’s aggression in Gaza are portrayed rather negatively.

Check out the evidence offered below. It’s titled “Study Reveals How Media Whitewashes Genocide”:

 

The Genocide Occuring in Gaza is Unmasked at the International Court of Justice

This week was marked by the opening of South Africa’s genocide case against Israel in the International Court of Justice.

Many international experts in the field of genocide studies agree — Israel is committing both genocide and ethnic cleansing against the 2.3 million Palestinian people living in Gaza.

Whereas many US news outlets covered Israel’s defense against South Africa’s charges, very few offered coverage of South Africa’s case for the prosecution. Another example of western bias when discussing Israel.

Consequently, I offer here only a portion of the case made against Israel earlier this week. It is chilling and damning.

Israel deserves to be convicted, shunned and sanctioned by the international community until it not only stops the current war, but dismantles its oppressive apartheid state.

Watch and hear some of the abundant evidence presented for yourself:

Gideon Levy: Sanctions on Israel Are the Only Hope

What happens to a society where the vast majority endorse their government’s policy of committing genocide against a subject people?

Unsurprisingly, it will demonstrate increased levels of hard-heartedness and moral corruption.

Gideon Levy is an award-winning Israeli journalist who provides a chilling description of how Israeli society-at-large now illustrates such corruption as the people of Gaza are exterminated.

Watch and shudder.
