Bishara condemned the Israeli prime minister’s “crocodile tears” over the freeing of hostages Eli Sharabi, Ohad Ben Ami and Ori Levy in exchange for 183 Palestinian captives. “Netanyahu is complaining that three individuals lost weight when the entire Gaza Strip was ‘put on a diet’, as the racists in the Israeli government said.

Haaretz via Archive.ph Apparently I’m not alone in believing Netanyahu will renege as soon as possible, because he never intended for this issue to resolve. This is a ploy. Because the hostages were not his concern. Primary or secondary. The cease-fire agreement has yet to be signed.Potential last-minute complications still hover above it, as an […]

It’s not credible to me that Israel would give up on it’s expansionist goals. Call me pessimistic, while keeping in mind I do […]

Syria as a massive trap?
This is a very interesting perspective. Much of it makes sense to me. I’m not saying it’s correct. I’m saying Alex Krainer makes some very, very good points regarding the interactions between nations, particularly Turkey. Which, as Alex points out Turkey and Russia have some very serious deals between them. Pipelines, nuclear power plants etc., […]
