In both cases, the results are populations of refugees, the transfer of lands from the local people to the new colonial powers, forwarding and protecting the interests of international capital.

Human rights experts say the Biden administration's proposed maritime corridor is a much less effective solution to addressing the dire needs of Gaza's besieged and starving population than a ceasefire and pressuring Israel to open land crossings.
As Israel's impending ground invasion of Rafah looms without a ceasefire agreement in sight, the 1.5 million people crammed into Gaza's southernmost city fear that they will spend Ramadan under Israeli fire.

Israel is taking advantage of the war on Gaza to exert control over the al-Aqsa Mosque compound and prevent Palestinians from visiting. With the month of Ramadan set to start, Israeli authorities intend to tighten restrictions even further.
Short answer, YES!! Just like the proverbial chicken without a head, the United States is running around headless and incapable of navigating a way out of a confrontation with Russia. A confrontation that the United States cannot win. But, based on Biden's speech tonight, the United States is going to double down on a losing hand. The Biden team apparently have decided they cannot afford a loss in Ukraine before the election so they are likely to green-light more risky terrorist attacks inside Russia, oblivious to the repeated warnings from Putin and his national security team that Russia will strike back.

As a child in New Jersey, I grew up hearing stories of my mother's flight attendant days in South Korea. A few stuck out to me even at a young age — such as hearing she needed to maintain a certain weight to get into the flight attendant program and that she had to quit her job once she got married. I couldn't understand why my mother had to quit her dream job, the job that allowed her to travel to Hawaii and Paris, the two places she had always wanted to go since she was little, just because she got married. My mother also told me how women either lied about being married to keep their jobs or were pres…
The holocaust that is underway in Gaza is being enabled by the US government and denied by the mainstream US press.
