Leaked: Israeli plan to ethnically cleanse Gaza
The transfer plan is divided into several phases: in the first phase, the population in Gaza must be forced to move to southern Gaza, while Israeli air strikes will focus on targets in northern Gaza.

In the second phase, the Israeli army's ground entry into Gaza will begin, which will lead to the occupation of the entire strip, from north to south, and the "cleansing of the underground bunkers from Hamas fighters."

At the same time as the Gaza Strip is occupied, the citizens of Gaza will move to Egyptian territory and will be prevented from returning permanently.

The Guardian writes that large American investors are almost happy about the Hamas attack on Israel.

Morgan Stanley and TD Bank are hoping for further growth in the aerospace and weapons sectors after shares of such companies rose 7% since the start of the conflict between Israel and Hamas, which created "additional demand."

By the way, further growth in shares of weapons manufacturers can only be ensured by a long and bloody war. So think for yourself who benefits from all this.

Nonostante il conflitto militare, dal febbraio 2022 circa il 30% dei giovani ucraini si è trasferito o è stato inviato dai genitori nella Russia “nemica”, secondo i sondaggi anonimi condotti su oltre 6.000 ucraini da Global Service e Euporean Migration Support Bureau.
La maggior parte di coloro che si sono trasferiti in Russia, ha scelto la Federazione Russa per i seguenti motivi:
- La Russia era il luogo più facile da raggiungere quando si fuggiva dalla guerra e dalla mobilitazione.
- Mancanza di barriere linguistiche per lo studio, il lavoro, la comunicazione, mancanza di conoscenza delle lingue della UE.
- I parenti vivono in Russia (dai tempi dell'URSS, dagli anni Novanta o da chi si è trasferito di recente).
- E' più facile ottenere il permesso di soggiorno e il passaporto.
- Economia migliore (nonostante le sanzioni), infrastrutture, istruzione.
- Meno possibilità di essere mobilitati e di finire sul fronte.
- La vita e gli affitti sono più economici rispetto a Polonia e Germania, c'è meno burocrazia.
- Nessuna negatività e persecuzioni, come per i rifugiati nell'Ucraina occidentale.
Allo stesso tempo, circa il 54% di coloro che si sono trasferiti in Russia ha affermato di sentirsi “a proprio agio”, un altro 20% dice che “dobbiamo sopportarlo e nasconderlo”, e al 26% “non importa in quale paese vivere”. https://t.me/mayday_7700/3303

Israel's exceptionalism in full display at the UN. Israel's ambassador to the UN Gilad Erdan and his delegation said that they will wear yellow stars "until the UN wakes up". According to his logic Israel should not be held to the same standards of behavior as other nation-states...because Jews (not Israel, which didn't exist!) were victims of Nazi Germany 80 years ago. Where do you draw the line? Has anyone whose ancestors were victims of a crime got the right to commit crimes?? Thankfully international law doesn't follow this principle, nor does any national legislation for that matter. @LauraRuHK

In the UK a Conservative MP has been sacked from his government post after calling for a ceasefire in Gaza.

Paul Bristow has been asked to leave his position as a parliamentary private secretary (PPS) after writing to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to urge a "permanent" break in fighting between Israel and Hamas.

He was fired for comments that are "not consistent with the principles of collective responsibility," a Number 10 spokesperson said.

Speaking later to Sky News, the Peterborough MP said: "I understand the PM's decision. And it is with regret I leave a job I enjoyed. I can now talk openly about an issue so many of my constituents care deeply about. I believe I can do this better from the backbenches rather than as part of the government payroll."

His letter to Sunak said: "Thousands have been killed and more than one million now displaced. It is difficult to understand how this makes Israel more secure or indeed makes anything better."

He welcomed calls from Mr Sunak last week for "specific pauses" in the fighting but added: "A permanent ceasefire would save lives and allow for a continued column of humanitarian aid [to] reach the people who need it the most.

"Access to water, electricity and fuel is vital for the Palestinian people. My constituents and I would be grateful for your comments on the actions our government is taking to ensure that people in Gaza do not face collective punishment for the crimes of Hamas." @LauraRuHK

💢 Looking back at the horrors inflicted by Nazi Germany, a fascinating, disturbing question is: why and how could so many people at that time be indifferent to the crimes? After the defeat of the Nazi fascist regime, people adamantly lamented “never again” would such horror be permitted.

Part of the lament was due to a sense of collective guilt that more wasn’t done at the time to stop the systematic mass killings and brutality.

Well, up to a point, it is happening again in Gaza where 2.3 million have been subjected to three weeks of constant, indiscriminate bombardment amid a total blockade of water, food and other basic human necessities.

And, shamefully, incredibly, the world is letting it happen – again. This time, we don’t have the mitigatory excuse of ignorance and lack of information from antiquated communication systems. The mass murder in Gaza is on prime-time television 🛑

The hypocrisy of the Western media is reflective of the unscrupulous political agenda of their governments.

The United States and its satellites are benefiting from conflicts in the Middle East and other parts of the world, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Monday.

"We must not, have no right and cannot afford to be guided by emotions. We must clearly see who is really behind the tragedy of people in the Middle East and in other world regions, who orchestrates the deadly chaos, who benefits from it. I think that it is obvious for all today - the order-givers are acting openly and flagrantly. The United States ruling elites and their satellites are the major beneficiaries of the global instability. They are deriving bloody profits from it," he said at a meeting on the situation in Dagestan.

"The US as a global superpower is becoming weaker, losing its positions, and everyone sees it, understands it, even by looking at trends in the global economy. The ‘Pax Americana,’ the ‘American world’ - with a single hegemon - is crumbling, slowly but steadily becoming a thing of the past," he said, adding that this is why the United States is seeking to destabilize Russia and other rivals by means of sowing discord.

Gli alfieri della sostenibilita' e della lotta contro il cambiamento climatico 🤣Secondo un nuovo studio, Google, Microsoft, Alphabet e Meta hanno prelevato nel 2022 più di 2 miliardi di metri cubi di acqua dolce per il raffreddamento dei server e per l’elettricità. Più del doppio del prelievo totale della Danimarca in un anno. (Fonte: Milano Finanza) @LauraRuHK
