People in Naarm (Melbourne) rally and speak up for Palestine. Israel is now at its most destructive and at its weakest as it is overwhelmed by the Resistance in Lebanon. The people of the world increasingly understand Israel for what it is.

This devastating. How does the Australian Government credibly refute this?

Claudia Sheinbaum has approval ratings of between 70 and 80%, thanks to her progressive policies which have lifted over 8 million people out of poverty. So of course the @nytimes finds some reason to attack her. They hate her because she shows what can be done.

Sidoti: Here is what Australia should do ‘•The first action should be a wide ranging review to identify the many ways in which Australia’s relations with Israel support Israel committing international crimes. 
 •Trade and diplomatic measures include ceasing all defence-related trade with Israel, including dual-use products, components, materials and technology, and ending trade and cooperative ventures with companies developing military items for use by Israel. Australia should also withdraw Australian defence and trade officials from our Tel Aviv embassy and impose secondary sanctions on states conducting defence-related trade with Israel.
 •Accountability measures comprise Australia affirming its commitment to enforce international criminal court arrest warrants for Israeli political and military leaders, along with imposing personal sanctions against these leaders and Israeli settlers responsible for violence in the West Bank.
 •Legal enforcement actions include investigating and prosecuting Australian citizens who have served in the Israel Defense Forces since October 2023 for potential war crimes, crimes against humanity or genocide, while prohibiting Australian citizens from fighting in foreign armed forces. The full force of Australian law should be applied to Australians who commit international crimes, as the prime minister, Anthony Albanese, has said.
 •Settlement-focused measures would prohibit financial transactions with illegal Israeli settlements and end tax deductibility for Australian charities providing funding to organisations supporting illegal settlements. Additionally, Australia should provide at least 15,000 humanitarian places for Palestinian refugees from Gaza and restore scholarship eligibility for Palestinians to undertake tertiary studies in Australia. This is not a wishlist. It is the simple implementation of legal obligations. Australia wants to be a good international citizen. This is how it can be that.’ theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

The Jewish activist Tony Greenstein, whose opposition to the Gaza genocide will see him on trial in August for "supporting terrorism", is now being hounded – like other prominent Palestine solidarity activists – with a freeze on his bank accounts. This is being directed by the government through the National Crime Agency. Santander are the latest culprits to engage in what Greenstein calls "financial terrorism", after similar bank freezes from Nationwide, HSBC and First Direct. One of the accounts frozen by Santander held money raised to help a Palestinian children's centre in Jenin. As Greenstien notes, Jenin's children "suffer enough at the hands of the terrorist IDF without facing the terrorism of the British state acting via its banking system".

The pressure from the people’s protests has turned the dial in Albania… After weeks of mass protests that brought Tirana to a standstill, Albanian authorities have reportedly moved to clear Sazan Island and dismantle a controversial €1.4 billion luxury development project linked to Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner.

Israel executed baby Sam today with a bullet to the face in the occupied West Bank. They killed his mother too. Sam was only 7 months old. They murdered a mother. And her infant.

Soon after accepting a "ceasefire" and claiming it harbors no "hostile intent" toward the Lebanese state, the Zionist regime has struck a Lebanese military convoy and murdered a Army brigadier general. No doubt the US-installed president of Lebanon will find a way to blame Iran.

Day 7 of Albania’s protests. The message is growing: the land is not for sale. the coast is not a deal. and the people are not a footnote in Kushner’s project.

#albaniaisnotforsale Dear Ivanka Trump: THIS LAND BELONGS TO THE ALBANIANS ONLY!!! OUR COUNTRY IS NOT FOR SALE!!!🇦🇱❤️

Ali Akbar Velayati’s analysis is exactly right when he says ‘compromise’ and ‘unsecured obligations’ are ideological and tactical tools to weaken the resistance to US-UK imperial hegemony. The US-UK imperial militarist capitalism and its institutional ideological storm troopers must be physically driven out of West Asia.

CHINESE SCIENTISTS created a new medicine that is being hailed as a breakthrough in the fight against lung cancer, it was revealed this week. “And the results here, I think, are quite astounding,” said Dr Monty Pal of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) in a YouTube video review. “What we see here is an improvement in median overall survival.” Yet the development of the new drug, called ivonescimab in English, is being portrayed as worrying news by politicians and media in the US. Why? The US elite’s congenital megalomania means it has to be number one in every field. This need triggers extreme paranoia—and means that Chinese lifesaving advances are bad news. . NATIONAL SECURITY THREAT “It’s a war right now with China,” said United States Department of Health and Human Services Chris Klomp at the recent Conservative Political Action Conference. "We face a national security threat right now...it's not one of missiles and tanks. It's of laboratories and life-saving medications.” Oh no! Not life-saving medications! Will the dastardly Chinese stop at nothing? But it gets worse. If American patients become reliant on the Chinese for drugs, there is a risk of “creating a new Strait of Hormuz”, said former FDA chief Dr. Peter Marks, quoted in the New York Times. That’s a telling remark. Not only is the paranoia up front and center, but look at the example he chose. The US created an entirely needless problem in Iran, with thousands dead and millions suffering from fuel shortages. Western political plays have real world consequences for both sides--and innocent parties, too. . CHINA SCIENTISTS GET TOP SPOT The medical issue escalated last week at the annual ASCO global gathering of oncologists (cancer doctors). The five biggest breakthroughs are given top-of-the-bill presentation slots—and politicians and journalists were shocked when one of them went to Chinese medical scientists who conducted their trials in China. . THE ISSUES Let’s look at the issues, one by one: Are there serious concerns that the new drug, ivonescimab, doesn’t work or only works on Chinese people? - No. The drug was created by a Chinese firm called Akeso Biopharma, and it is already used successfully in China. There has since been a global study in the United States, Canada and Europe, too, to ensure diversified data. Are there worries that China may deny sending this and other drugs to Americans? - No. Chinese companies keep the rights for their own country and then license the drugs in the US to American firms. Ivonescimab in the US is a product of Summit Therapeutics of Miami. Is there concern that the data is false? - No. The Lancet, a medical academic journal, has already printed a study saying that people who got the new drug had a 34 percent lower death rate. Is the problem that the Chinese copied the drug from the US? - No. That’s not how science works. Science advances through data-driven breakthroughs, irrespective of where they take place. So what is the problem? It’s the usual one: the US needs to dominate everything, whoever gets hurt. In the case of medicines from China, the victims of needless hostility will include US citizens, if drugs are delayed or banned. . BUILDING WALLS President Donald Trump has already signed legislation that prevents US government bodies signing contracts with Chinese biotech firms, however beneficial their products and services may be. And separately, politicians in Congress are trying to get rules passed that prevent the recognition of data from clinical trials in Mainland China or Hong Kong. Some US journalists also appear less interested in the scientific breakthroughs than the politics of who is making them. The New York Times report last week on the topic began with these lines: “For decades, an annual gathering of oncologists has featured drug trials that were run mainly at American and European hospitals. “But at this year’s meeting, which is being held in Chicago this weekend, the signs are everywhere of China’s ascendance as a powerhouse in drug development — and of the threat that many believe it poses to American biotechnology.” China’s latest threat: lifesaving medications.

Albania has officially drawn the line, Sazan 'lsland is being cleared. In an stunning turn of events, Albanian authorities have launched an active enforcement operation to kick out foreign developers and private security personnel occupying Sazan Island. The decisive action marks a total collapse of the controversial €1.4 billion luxury real estate deal that aimed to turn the protected national marine reserve and former military base into an exclusive private playground for global elites, The eviction comes after four consecutive weeks of historic hundred-thousand-strong protests that completely shut down the capital city of Tirana, refusing to allow their native coastlines and ecologically sensitive wetlands to be privatized by foreign investors, the Albanian public unified under a single, unyielding demand: "Albania is not for sale, the courts faced with a historic political crisis, mounting domestic fury, and a widening anti-corruption investigation by special prosecutors (SPAK), the government was forced to pivot, by deploying state forces to reclaim Sazan lsland, Albania has sent a clear message to international billionaires and foreign developers trying to bypass environmental protection laws, This historic victory for citizen-led activism proves that the collective voice of a nation can successfully overpower backroom corporate deals and protect sovereign land. The people spoke, and the government had to listen.

Jimmy Dore: "We preach democracy to China. But we don't have democracy here - the oligarchs run everything. The Princeton study proved 90% of people's wishes never become law. Only the top 10% of wealthy matter. In China, the government sits above capital. The economy works for the people. Here, capital sits above government. The economy works for billionaires"

🚨🇮🇱🇱🇧 ISRAEL IN PANIC: U.S.-BACKED IRON DOME CRUMBLES UNDER HEZBOLLAH PRECISION STRIKES Hezbollah is methodically dismantling Israel’s Iron Dome network with strikes on launchers and radars, turning the northern front into another grinding setback for the IDF in southern Lebanon. 🔸 4-5 IRON DOME UNITS DESTROYED IN MAY — an unsustainable bleed for a force with only 30-40 systems total. 🔸 ALMAS MISSILES (Iran’s non-line-of-sight Javelin equivalent) plus drone/loitering munition teams form a recon-strike complex that spots then kills batteries inside and outside Lebanon. 🔸 Even limited hits force constant relocation, spread thin northern coverage, and divert troops from offensive tasks to protecting the air defenses themselves. 🔸 SATURATION ROCKET ATTACKS exploit the brutal cost math: one interceptor runs over 10x the price of a cheap incoming rocket, so volume eventually wins. 🔸 NORTH KOREAN-BUILT TUNNELS from the early 2000s keep Hezbollah’s launchers safe from Israeli jets, preserving the rocket threat indefinitely. A multi-billion Rafael production deal signed November 2025 and funded by $5.2 billion of a larger US aid package still leaves open whether 2024 losses were replaced before fighting resumed in March 2026. Do you think Israel's Iron Dome is as safe as they claim?

THE DEATH OF G7: Putin drops devastating GDP numbers that humiliate the West! "If you look at the dynamics of global GDP over the last 5 years, 49% is represented by BRICS countries, while the G7’s contribution is a measly 18%. BRICS overtook the G7 back in 2020." "Over 25 years, the BRICS share in global trade has more than doubled, accounting for nearly a quarter of global exports last year. BRICS internal trade turnover already exceeds $1 TRILLION a year and continues to grow steadily."
