Palestine: Israeli Voting Population Continues Down ‘Fascist’ Path! (7.11.2022)

Sadeq Al-Shafi’ee, a political analyst from the West Bank city of Ramallah, expected the new Israeli government to “use the most extreme degree of excessive violence to deal with the Palestinians trying to confront occupation.”

“The Israeli voters’ choice of the right is evidence of rejecting any peace agreement with the Palestinians, or negotiation over the establishment of a Palestinian national entity on any part,” he explained.

Abdulmajid Sweilem, a Ramallah-based political analyst, suggested the Palestinians “get rid of the signed agreements,” because “the next Israeli government is not only a non-partner but hostile to peace.”

“What the elections in Israel resulted in is an opportunity for Fatah Movement led by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and (Gaza’s ruling movement) Hamas to rise up against reality, end their internal division and make real unity to confront the coming future,” Sweilem said.

Gary Younge, a sociology professor at the University of Manchester, once commented that dollars play a decisive role in U.S. politics. He wrote, “U.S. elections: no matter who you vote for, money always wins.”

In 1863, the ideal democratic government of the United States was depicted by then-U.S. President Abraham Lincoln in his landmark Gettysburg Address as the “government of the people, by the people, for the people.”

More than 150 years later, the fig leaf of democracy can no longer cover up the corruption of the American political system. Kishore Mahbubani, a Singaporean scholar, put it best in his book The Asian 21st Century. “Americans are proud of their democratic political system. But the facts show that America has increasingly come to resemble a plutocracy, where society is governed of the 1%, by the 1%, for the 1%.”

Chinese Structural Biologist Yan Ning Will Return to China to Establish Medical Academy (2.11.2022)

In 2014, Yan’s team analyzed the three-dimensional crystal structure of the human glucose transporter GLUT1 for the first time.

CPC Rejects US-Backed Taiwanese ‘Fascist’ Calls for Independence! (28.10.2022)

The root cause of the current tension in the Taiwan Straits is due to the DPP authorities’ stubborn adherence to the secessionist stance of “Taiwan independence “and engagement with external forces for provocation against the mainland, while external forces play the “Taiwan card” and use the island to contain the mainland, Ma said.

He urged the US to fulfill its political commitment to not support “Taiwan independence” and stop sending wrong signals to “Taiwan independence” forces.

Language resolutely opposing and deterring separatists who seek “Taiwan independence” was added to the Constitution of the Communist Party of China at the 20th CPC National Congress, which concluded on Saturday.

“‘Taiwan independence’ is the biggest obstacle to the reunification of the motherland and a serious danger to national rejuvenation,” Ma said.

The addition to the Party Constitution was made in response to the current cross-Straits situation and reflects the will of the Party and the wishes of the people, he said.

Chinese Lawmakers Debate Draft Law Revision on Further Protection of Women! (28.10.2022)

It also highlights that authorities, including governments, police, as well as villagers and residents committees, shall report these crimes immediately. Measures shall be taken to rescue women who have been abducted or trafficked. The rescued women shall be well-settled and given help and care.

Titanic: No Golliwogs Were Saved! (27.10.2022)

Walter Lord points out that all Asians were assumed to be ‘stowaways’ – and ‘Japanese’ for reasons not entirely clear (I have written elsewhere about the eight ‘Chinese’ passengers aboard who were technically ‘British’ subjects) – with the ‘White’ British expressing dislike for the twenty or so ‘Italian’ waiters working in one of the special restuarants on board. (These men were ‘locked’ into their restuarant and drowned – never being let out). Black people are not ‘toys’ for White children to play with – plain and simple. Imagine teaching your children that another ethnicity is nothing but a passive object that exists to entertain your curiosities, desires and perhaps even perversities! Even today in the UK there are still White people who think these racist dolls are acceptible and even justify selling them in their shops!
