DPRK: Israel and US Condemned for Ongoing “War Crimes” Against Palestine! (30.10.2023)

The fact that the United States supported and protected Israel’s criminal actions immediately after the hospital bombing incident – through making absurd arguments that this incident was believed to be the work of forces other than Israel -clearly demonstrates that the United States is an accomplice in condoning and encouraging Israel’s murderous atrocities.

The reason the United States arrogantly vetoed the UN Security Council Resolution and attempted to prevented humanitarian aid reaching Gaza – is under the rationale that Israel has a “right to self-defense” – which a coded message meaning Israel can kill as many Palestinians as it sees fit in pursuance of the Zionist’s Greater Israel policy.

The United States, the destroyer of world peace and the strangler of justice, can never escape the responsibility it carries of condoning and encouraging Israel’s monstrous War Crime of brutally slaughtering the Palestinian people.

Ahmed Saleh, a rescue-worker with the Civil Defense Service, said that they sometimes asked people: “Did you hear an explosion nearby?” Saleh points out to Al-Arabi Al-Jadeed that “those injured amid the communications outage were unable to communicate,” which represented a greater threat to them. Saleh adds, “Before that, despite the poor quality of the communications network, we were able to receive communications from the wounded, their families, relatives, or neighbours.” But it shows that during the night of Friday and Saturday, anxiety prevailed in the situation, as they did not know “who was martyred and who was injured.”

How the Imperial War Museum Relegated the “Black Experience” of WWII to a Back Corridor! (26.10.2023)

When we entered a back corridor – slightly disheartened by the shallowness of the IWM coverage of WWII from an ordinary British and Chinese perspective – we were astonished to find that a ‘Black’ British art exhibition – regarding WWII – had been consigned to an ‘out of the way’ place! The corridor is both bare and bleak – the sort of place one (momentarily) traverses through to get to another place – or perhaps rest for a moment to get one’s bearings. In no civilised way should this location be interpreted as ‘suitable’ for an art exhibition – as it reeks with Eurocentric disdain! Such is the contemporary IWM and the disjointed face it shows to a general public it intends to fleece in its gift shops!
