With regards to the ongoing massacre carried out by Israel, I think it is not a coincidence the fact that since October 7th, 2023, at least 227 journalists have been killed in the Palestinian territories of Gaza and West Bank. Israel's war on Gaza is the deadliest conflict for media workers ever recorded. And it is not a coincidence that Israel's stock market has broken record this year amid raging multifront wars, outperforming the world mayor stock markets. As recently mentioned by the United Nations special rapporteur, Francesca Albanese, Tel Aviv's stock exchange has increased by 179 % "since the war in Gaza began" in October 2023. She also specified that Israel has set up an economy of genocide and ethnic cleansing.
Obviously our media system doesn't spread these news.
In addition, leaders of the so called civilized world are not neutral observers to the genocide in Gaza. They are direct participants in Israel war crimes, providing them with the weapons, intelligence and diplomatic cover to carry out a systematic massacre of Palestinian women and children. Needless to point out that the US is the Israel military's biggest supplier. That's how would be dangerous an unipolar world, where one state holds a dominant position of power, potentially leading to instability and conflict.
In the meanwhile, the EU decided not to suspend its association agreement with Israel at the Foreign Affairs Council meeting on the 15th July, 2025. This means the EU gives Israel the green light for more genocide and ethnic cleansing.
Regarding on the EU's position on the Russia-Ukraine war, we are witnessing the celebration of Brussels' hypocritical double standard.
It's a shame that these things are happening.
ReplyDeleteAnd it's also a shame that the so called advanced and stabilized democracies clearly agree on Israel' ethnic cleansing.
Delete...will this ever get better?
ReplyDeleteIf we, Westerners, were not to back Israel's criminal system, this would get better.
DeleteDa pena lo que pasa en medio oriente. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteGiorgio, if you only knew how sorry I am for the people (especially children) who live in the Gaza Strip. Those who remain alive after the terrible shelling are dying of hunger. My country calls on the whole world to pay attention to this tragedy from the rostrums of the UN, WHO and other organizations. But it is difficult to reach people who have put Nazism and fascism at the forefront of their ideology.
ReplyDeleteThe same thing happened in Donbass. For 8 years, Russia has been appealing to the whole world to help stop the killing of children in Donbass by the Kyiv regime.
People in Gaza are struggling to find food and medicines because of Israel’s blockade on vital aid. This is a clear sign that Israel wants to destroy the entire Gaza's population.
DeleteDear Giorgio, July 24th was Princess Olga's Day of Remembrance. Yesterday I published a post about Saint Russian Princess Olga. I also learned that Saint Olga of Russia is venerated in the Catholic Church too. Is this true?
ReplyDeleteI found this out:
DeleteYes, that is true. Saint Olga of Kiev, also known as Saint Olga of Russia, is venerated as a saint in both the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Catholic Church. She is recognized for her wisdom, piety, and role in introducing Christianity to the Rus' people. The Orthodox Church even calls her "Equal to the Apostles.
Thanks to both of you for sharing information about Saint Olga.
DeleteWhat a shame,
ReplyDeletebut unfortunately another realization that it is not the people who rule, but money!!
Humanity and the environment have been so hurt by wars,
but they continue!
That's right, katerina. Environment have been also hurt by wars. For example, there is a lot of asbestos among the rubble caused by Israel's bombings.
DeleteOh, gosh That is a lot of journalists to die but then far more people have died there also...dreadful to all.
ReplyDeleteHad no idea about the stock market, however, you have enlightened me on that.
Take care.
That's an economy of genocide/ethnic cleansing set up by Israel.
DeleteGiorgio, thank you for dedicating your posts to Palestinians.
ReplyDeleteI know you are interested in this hot topic.
DeleteNova Music Festival 7 October 2023 Massacre
ReplyDeleteI just don't understand why the higher powers are letting this happen??? Roger Waters of Pink Floyd has been outspoken on these matters and people are shouting for him to be arrested?????? Freedom of speech....what happened to that?
ReplyDeleteHonestly Giorgio the world is a crazy place to place to be in. Worrying for our kids and grandkids to grow up in. :-(
Anyway hope you have a nice weekend. :-D
Completely agree with you, Ananka. Roger Waters shows that freedom of speech don't exist anymore in Western countries. The United Nations special rapporteur, Francesca Albanese, courageously exposed, in her latest report, not only the ongoing ethnic cleansing in Gaza but also the economic and financial powers that have profited from Israel's genocide ... a few days later the United States sanctions UN Human Rights Council Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese. For the United States Secretary of State to sanction her is a shameful act, placing him firmly on the wrong side of history and justice.
DeleteYou always share interesting points of view, Ananka.
Nice weekend to you too.
Giorgio, it's obvious that a terrible tragedy is taking place in Israel. Genocide.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of double standards, we can observe them at every turn. I'll give you the example of China. Beijing talks about peace, an end to the war of the criminal, the plague of Putin and Russia on Ukraine, but it supports the scoundrel in the Kremlin – it helps Russian drone production. These drones are killing Ukrainians – women and innocent children – and destroying Ukrainian infrastructure. Beijing supports and supports Putin's scum's genocide. It's been exposed how China deceives the world.
My friend, I wish you a good weekend!
Anna, with regards to the Ukraine-Russia war the word "genocide" is not appropiate.
