It is difficult to understand how the colonialists have maintained a foothold for so long. And we rage at the blatancy of Arab puppet leaders, and say crying out loud. Why don’t the people get rid of these puppets. But then we have to check ourselves, us here in the UK are also held hostage by blatant corrupt puppet leaders. The more we try the more they turn the screw of suppression. The latest outrage against Palastine action group to be prescribed as a terrorist group, the hypocrisy would be funny if it wasn’t so damn tragic. It’s not only the Middle East that they occupy. It’s us City of London tentacles span the globe.

The US and the illusion that they shed their Imperial yolk. Did they really? Consider what happened to the individuals that signed the declaration of Independence. One by one they were hunted killed tortured or if they were lucky or able to live in hiding. But these vendettas extended to their families Alex krainer wrote a good article on the subject of the 4th of July. my burning question is, who are these people. Because as I can see it is not the dots lining up, it appears to be one dot

Thank you. An amazing historical piece. I’m passing this on to friends who are on the brink of understanding the long game that has been played. Thank you again… I am concerned for you in Lebanon now. Please stay safe. 🤗

After all we have learned about choreographed lies and fabrications about heroic and professional Oct. 7 military breakout out of Gaza concentration camp — why is Hamas still described as “terrorist” ???

Hamas behaved professionally and well-disciplined in conducting a successful breakthrough military attack out of decades long open concentration camp.

Panicked and cowardly Israeli army, however, murdered its own citizens while as usual launching a coordinated fabrications about “beheaded babies and rapes” – ALL disproven by now.

Hamas party was democratically elected and represents wishes of Palestinian people.

Thanks for this analysis and reporting. Currently reading/discussing Yahya Sinwar's "The Thorn and the Carnation" and this is excellent context for understanding his account of how Hamas formed during the First Intifada.

Killing torturing and imprisoning witness by the native describing the violent theft of homeland, labor, and eventually language, so that the market, those who benefit, from the shock and awe of the Abu Grahib carceral state formed from land and labor and larceny, can feel good and redeemed in the inherent lie of Christianity, sold on the bestseller list, about their consumption driven with Chevron, to lock, block, and doxx any hint of resistance, succinctly described by you, Vanessa Beeley, thanks, to the hegemonic evil starvation and lethality that’s celebrated with standing ovations on July 4th via bombs bursting in air.

The most comprehensive analysis of the resistance forces and capability I've ever read. I'll link to this. And it was a pleasure to hear your interview, Vanessa, that mentioned this column and started with your father's connection to Middle East politics. Grateful that you decided to fill his shoes!

Very promising! A nail in the main narrative. The Zionist mafia doesn't look that dominant after this extensive exposure, many thanks Vanessa!
