A mourning Iranian mother, whose young son was martyred in a US-Israeli terrorist attack on his elementary school, shares her grief.
Iran is putting-up a plucky defence of itself against the industrial might of the US – and the fabricated might of Zionist Israel. If the reports are true – over 500 US military personnel have been killed in targetting strikes around the Middle East – including around 5-ships sunk or disabled for violating the closed seas around Iran. Iran is expertly using missiles and drones to good effect – but for how long? It is a clever use of asymmetric warfare as it bypasses the massive advantage the US possesses with its convectional airforce and bombers. Iran’s drone and missile technology is a remarkable development and adaptation. The main problem is that neither China nor Russia will come to the aid of Iran as the former values unhindered world trade over ideology – and Russia is already bogged-down in a costly proxy-war with the US in Ukraine. Harsh words condemning US actions are pointless whilst the US continues to inflict material damage on the world with impunity. The bourgeois media and broken education system in the West ensures that the proletariat are continuously taking the wrong-side – and sympathising with the oppressors against the oppressed.
Out of respect, I am adding my contribution “below” the main story. It is interesting that within early Buddhist iconography – the Buddha (following his death) is never portrayed in his living form (that was a much later development) – but rather as some form of “empty space”. Indeed, for around 500-years following his Pari-Nirvana (Great Extinguishing) I believe it may have been a taboo to attempt to limit the Buddha to his (passing) physical manifestation (it seems that the Greek habit of making statues of their philosophers [in Gandhara-Afghanistan] that may have influenced the eventual development of Buddha-statues – either sitting [like the Jains] or standing [like Socrates]). One of the early depictions involve an “empty throne” (suggesting a king who has physically departed – but has left his authority in-place). Others involve two footprints, a flower, a tree, and a wheel, etc. The Buddha taught that although the material world “exists” – it is “empty” of any “permanent” or “lasting” entity – when viewed from the perspective of conscious awareness and a finite physical existence. Of course, Buddhism is not Islam – but I believe the Islamic Revolutionary State is hinting that the temporal authority Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei held due to his spiritual attainment – lives on in the face of the pure evil that Trump and Netanyahu both represent – even though his body has been destroyed by the agents of the devil.
The West (including Israel) implemented an illegal overthrow of the democratically elected government in Ukraine – and instigated in its place the “Maidan” Neo-Nazi junta. It is interesting that thousands of IDF Veterans have travelled to Kyiv to join its Neo-Nazi “Azov” Battalions (along with untold numbers of Jews from around the world) – whilst simultaneously still upholding a pronounced victimhood regarding the Nazi German holocaust (which my grandparents risked their lives fighting during WWII). These contradictions need to stop and Israel must be held accountable for its despicable behaviour, attitudes, and crimes. Israel – like the US – must be brought in-line with International Law. Despite having endless and unjust (illegal) sanctions imposed upon it – the Iranian people have managed to construct a well-thought-out defensive plan – and successfully apply it against the unjust might of the US and the Zionists! Meanwhile, as the racist regime of Israel does not care about the welfare of non-White (non-Jewish) people – it has today murdered 57 Iranian schoolgirls (with many more wounded) – using Western supplied missiles. This is the sheer evil of it all in microcosm.
When you reach my age – the (destructive) repetitive patterns that define the greed and hatred of the capitalist system become clearly apparent. Young people are caught unaware because they lack the appropriate experience to “see” what is actually going on – rather than what the system wants you to think is going on. The most damage is done to the minds and bodies of the young. Older liars, such as Donald Trump, well, they are gate-keepers for the profiteers and warmongers. In Nazi Germany – Trump would be in the SS – in modern America – he belongs in the corporate boardroom (that almighty and god-like entity the Americans are taught to worship from birth). In the USSR, if there was any justice in the world, Trump would be in a gulag – and I say that as someone who knows the USSR was a just place. As I write, thousands of Iranians are being killed and wounded by the US and Zionist Israel – today’s greatest examples of totalitarian capitalism. It turned-out that it was not the USSR that was the greatest threat to world peace – but the US and Zionists themselves.
Against tense regional developments, U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee said in a Friday interview that Israel has a “biblical right” to claim control over the entire Middle East, or at least most of the region.
The comments drew condemnation across the Arab countries as the Arab League called them “highly extremist.”
Huckabee’s remarks, being illogical and irrational, are “inconsistent with the fundamental principles and established norms of diplomacy,” Secretary-General of the Arab League Ahmed Aboul-Gheit said in a statement.
Those remarks “serve only to inflame sentiments and stir religious and national emotions” when countries are exploring ways to implement the Gaza ceasefire and “seize the opportunity to launch a serious political process towards peace,” he said.
Egyptian Foreign Ministry expressed its “astonishment” over the remarks on
