State of Palestine Confronts Zionist Genocide!

UN: State of Palestine Presents First Resolution on ICJ UNGA Ruling! (17.9.2024)

The draft resolution comes as part of a push by the Palestinian leadership and people to formally demand an end to the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories within 12 months. It is based on the ICJ’s advisory opinion, which found that Israel’s decades-long occupation of the Palestinian territories was “unlawful”, and that its “near-complete separation” of people in the occupied West Bank breached international laws concerning “racial segregation” and “apartheid”, and grounded in international law.

During his speech, Mansour added that “the draft resolution “focus]es[ . . . on the obligations of Israel, all States and the United Nations and other international organizations in accordance with international law. It also calls for a number of individual and collective actions to uphold the law and implement the relevant United Nations resolutions on the question of Palestine.”

Eire Harp - St Patrick Battalion!

St Patrick Battalion – How the Irish Changed Sides During the US Invasion of Mexico! (17.9.2024)

Fortunately, night fell and with it came a violent tropical rain-storm. Even more fortunately for the Americans, Brigadier-General Persifor P Smith, a remarkably steady man, arrived to assume Command of the American forces to the West of the Pedregal. Smith was apparently not shaken by the fact that he was surrounded and had fewer than 4,000 troops with which to face the possibility of a combined attack from something between 13,000-17,000 men the next day. He summoned Lee, who had scattered the land between San Jeronimo and General Valencia’s position, and found it unguarded, and decided to ignore the large body of Mexican troops to his North, and attack General Valencia’s left-flank at first-light. It would obviously be helpful if the American troops in front of Valencia staged a strong demonstration in the morning, but Smith had no-way of communicating this to them.

Imperial Japanese Officer - Taiwan Massacre

Taiwan: Imperial Japanese Army Massacres 1870-1945! (17.9.2024)

That is, excluding the population growth rate between the Liu Mingchuan Period to 1895 (some 11 years), Taiwan’s population plummeted by 600,000 to 700,000 in less than a year – due to Japan’s policy of killing and expelling Taiwanese people! Between 1895-1897 the Imperial Japanese permitted ethnic Chinese people to leave Taiwan – but official figures record that only 4,456 Taiwanese people took this route of relocating to Mainland China. This process involved an official procedure of application – which was granted (or denied) by the Imperial Japanese Authorities on a case-by-case bases. Therefore, no matter how the numbers are calculated, from September 1895 to the end of 1896 (just over 1 year), the number of “unnatural” (or “massacred”) deaths of Taiwanese people suffered at the hands of the Imperial Japanese reached at least 500,000 – which is a credible figure.

Former Ethiopian Minister: Chinese People Always Stand with African People! (16.9.2024)

The Chinese people always stand with the African people

As an African proverb goes: A friend is someone you share the path with. President Xi said in his keynote speech at the opening ceremony of the FOCAC, explaining the roots of the everlasting Sino-African relations and the fundamentals of Sino-African cooperation.

“Joy shared with others are more enjoyed,” Ye said, “This saying is similar to ‘A friend is someone you share the path with’ , which shows that modernization has world significance.”

Ye noted that in China’s targeted poverty alleviation efforts, the concept of “no one must be left behind” is also mentioned. “It is a humanistic spirit that has long existed in China,” he said.

Telila was impressed by the African proverb Xi quoted, saying it not only demonstrates the style of his leadership, but also conveys the firm determination of Chinese and African people to join hands to march toward modernization, and the willingness to do their utmost to support and lead the Global South toward modernization.

In Telila’s view, true friends will accompany each other all the way through thick and thin. “The Chinese people have always stood with the African people, and we regard Chinese as true friends,” he concluded.

Matt Nelson Self-Immolates!

US: Matthew Nelson Self-Immolates – Protesting Gaza Genocide! (15.9.2024)

Nelson said he demanded the US government stop financial support and arms supplies to Israel, and called for exerting pressure on the regime to end its genocide in the Gaza Strip.

“It is expected that democracy serves people not the interests of the rich”, he said in the video, calling for the liberation of Palestine and demanding different countries support the International Criminal Court’s arrest warrant against Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Matt Nelson is said to have been transferred to hospital after setting himself on fire. There has been no report on his health condition.

Back in February, US Airman Aaron Bushnell self-immolated outside the Israeli embassy in Washington to protest the brutal war on Gaza.

People Live Longer Under Socialism in China!

China: CPC to Raise Retirement Age Following Vast Socialist Increase in Mortality Rate! (15.9.2024)

The new policy also highlights employment support for youths and workers at older ages, and encourages local authorities to tighten prevention of age-related job discrimination while prompting employers to hire more senior candidates.

Under the new policy, employers who hire workers older than the statuary retirement age should give such new employees basic working benefits related to income, right to rest, safety and job-related injury insurance.

Li Zhong, vice-minister of human resources and social security, said that the new retirement policy will be implemented steadily and at a modest pace, and positions vacated by new retirees may not be that suitable for youths, so the changes will likely have a mild impact on youth employment.

Li said the nation will continue to prioritize youth employment to let it grow at a reasonable rate and with higher quality.
