Two days before Israel is to stand in the dock at the International Court of Justice, accused of committing genocide, the UK's foreign secretary David Cameron suddenly remembers, under intense questioning, that Israel is the occupying power in Gaza, and that it therefore has a duty to ensure Palestinians receive the basic necessities of life it has been denying them for the past three months – and before that, for the 17 years of its blockade.
Should the court find that Israel is committing genocide, as it all too obviously is, the UK government would be complicit for supplying arms and for failing to press Israel to observe its obligations towards the Palestinian population under international law (something it has failed to do for decades).
Cameron's statement is an early sign of panic in western capitals, in case their efforts behind the scenes to intimidate and threaten the court's judges fail.
I explain the stakes of the hearing into South Africa's genocide case against Israel in my latest article: middleeasteye.net/opinion/war-ga…
🇷🇺 President Vladimir #Putin: When Western companies left our market, they apparently expected that everything would collapse overnight: businesses would shutter and thousands of people would be left without work. And, in the best-case scenario for the adversary in the broad sense of the word: for the opponents of #Russia in general and not just on the battlefield, people will take to the streets and demand bread and work.
❗️ We have the lowest unemployment rate in the history of Russia: 2.9 percent, which has never happened before.
📈 And real incomes of the population have grown (there is such a thing as real disposable income of the population) and real wages have grown, and quite significantly.
☝️ All this suggests that we have a stable economy and stable financial system.
The infants in Al Nasser Childrens Hospital in Khan Yunis, Southern Gaza, that the IDF forced their families to leave and the heath team to evacuate, where found decomposed after suffering alone on the beds of the hospital!! This is pure evil.
It is hypocritical to mark International Day for Elimination of Violence Against Women without calling for a #CeasefireNOW in #Gaza. 1000s of Gazan women have been murdered by Israel. 800,000 displaced, 50,000 of them pregnant. Register & recognise the violence of this situation.
🇷🇺President Vladimir #Putin:
Unlawful trade restrictions and the climate agenda pursued by some [Western] countries in order to improve their own competitiveness, continue to have a negative impact.
In order to eliminate competitors & to gain advantages, dishonest methods of competition are used, including the destruction of transport and logistics chains and international payment arrangements, and even acts of state terrorism.
The explosion at the #NordStream gas pipeline under the Baltic Sea is a glaring example.

🇷🇺 President of Russia Vladimir #Putin: We are now fighting not just for #Russia's freedom but for the freedom of the whole world.
☝️ We can frankly say that the dictatorship of one hegemon is becoming decrepit. We see it, and everyone sees it now.

On this day in 2016, leader of the Cuban revolution Fidel Castro passed away. His achievements:
In the first 30 months after Fidel Castro and Cuba’s🇨🇺 communists came to power, more classrooms were built in those 30 months than had been built in the previous 30 years.
In the previous 30 years, Cuba had become a de-facto US colony, and a safe haven for mafia criminals from the US. Before Castro’s revolution, US financial interests owned 90% of #Cuba’s mines, 80% of public utilities, 50% of railways, 40% of sugar production and 25% of Cuba’s bank deposits. With the arrival of the Cuban revolution, the US’ control of Cuba was broken.
Despite the illegal US embargo, Cuba built a world-class healthcare system, resulting in the island nation beating the US on life expectancy and infant mortality rates. Cuba’s abundance of world-class doctors have been sent all around the world to assist countries’ healthcare systems, 605,000 healthcare professionals had been sent to 165 nations since the Cuban Revolution.
Fidel Castro and former Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez launched a medical program called Operation Miracle, which treated blindness and restored sight for over 4 million people free of charge.
Castro provided material support to the anti-apartheid struggle in South Africa🇿🇦 and aided Namibia’s🇳🇦 liberation struggle
Castro survived 634 assassination attempts, many of these were orchestrated by the CIA.
The #EU wants to talk about Human Rights abuse in Hong Kong where #China police haven't killed one protester in 5 years, while same EU is supporting a Genocide in #Gaza where Far Right #Israeli Regime have killed over 13,000 civilians in 50 days. The European Union of Hypocrisy..
The grandson of former French president Charles de Gaulle:
"If Russia loses, the world loses"
Which means that America's victory would entail some dark days for everyone.
The economic independence of Europe will be the first victim of the foreign policy of Washington.
This is something the western mainstream media should be telling you.
But they won't....

Banning athletes from Belarus or Russia because you don't like their Governments is nonsense - the athletes are innocent, just as #US athletes have been innocent while US Empire killed millions dropping more bombs since 1945 than the rest of the world put together...
#Zakharova: 🇨🇦PM Trudeau has presented “unreserved apologies” for not knowing that Yaroslav Hunka who was celebrated in the Canadian parliament, was a Ukrainian #Nazi veteran.
Does this mean they didnt know who they were applauding? How then do they manage to govern the country?
#Zakharova: The reaction of #US, #UK & #France is the hardest part of this story to believe
☝️ These countries are permanent members of #UNSC, who earned their seats because their soldiers fought & died to liberate the world from Nazism.
