Israeli Minister of National Security and supporter of extremist, far-right policies Itamar Ben-Gvir visited the United States in late April. From the time he got off his plane in Florida and throughout events in New Haven, CT, New York City and Washington, DC, he was met with opposition, protest and resistance. Even some Zionist groups opposed his visit, which included stops at Trump’s Mar-A-Lago, a Jewish society tied to Yale university, the halls of Congress, and a fundraiser in New York. Ben-Gvir is a Kahanist, a follower of the rabbi Meir Kahane who supported and encouraged and was convicted of acts of terrorism in both Israel and the United States. He famously has a portrait of Baruch Goldstein in his living room, who killed 29 Palestinians in Hebron in 1994, and he repeats the calls of Goldstein and Kahane to expel all Palestinians from their homeland.
And following in those ideological footsteps, Israel’s government announced this week that it plans to seize Gaza entirely for the first time since it was forced to withdraw in 2005.

Putin sold Syria for parts of Ukraine. I hope that the Qataris and Israelis build a gas pipeline between Qatar and Europe, so that the traitorous Russia will pay for its betrayal in money, not just with the blood of its former allies

Traitorous Russia must fall.
Why do you want a whole country destroyed just because you don’t like their president? How could Russia have defended Syria when they are busy fighting the Nazi military of Ukraine as well as NATO?
