State of Palestine Confronts Zionist Genocide!

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

17/09/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

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.”

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.

US: “Anti-China Week” Exposes US Weakness in Addressing its Own Issues! (17.9.2024)

17/09/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

In this era of globalization, China and the United States are deeply intertwined, particularly in economic and trade sectors, but badmouthing China won’t help to solve U.S. problems. On the contrary, decoupling will cripple industries, drive up prices for American consumers, and weaken the United States’ competitive edge in innovation. Semiconductor shortages, disrupted supply chains, and inflationary pressures are just a glimpse of what decoupling would bring. Moreover, isolating the U.S. market from China’s electric vehicles won’t help with the green transition in America.

Washington’s China policy, guided by a self-contradicting doctrine and an outdated superpower ego, is running fast in the wrong direction. It reflects a profound misunderstanding of the interconnected nature of the most important bilateral ties in the world, and could ultimately miss a golden opportunity for cooperation that benefits both nations and the globe at large.

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.

Gaza: Zionist-Forces Continue to Strike UN-Schools! (12.9.2024)

The Israeli army also launched an airstrike on Wednesday on the Al-Qarra family home in the town of Khuza’a, east of the Khan Younis city in southern Gaza, killing at least 13 people from the family, including children and women, according to local sources and eyewitnesses.

There has been no comment from the Israeli side on these two airstrikes.

Israel has been conducting a large-scale offensive against Hamas in the Gaza Strip to retaliate against a Hamas rampage through the southern Israeli border on Oct. 7, 2023, during which Hamas militants killed 1,200 people and took about 250 hostages.

The Palestinian death toll from ongoing Israeli attacks in the strip has risen to 41,084, Gaza-based health authorities said in a statement on Wednesday.

China: Door “Closed” on the International Adoption of Chinese Children! (6.9.2024)

06/09/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

After China’s Reform and Opening Up of the early 1980s, Americans adopted thousands of Chinese orphans, which on the surface became a good story in the history of Sino-US exchanges, but which was used by the US to cast all kinds of negative allegations onto the the Chinese Socialist System. Even before this – from the second half of the 19th century to the 1930s – there was also a social trend of large-scale adoption of Chinese orphans in the US, known as the “Orphan Train Movement”. This is odd – as the “Chinese Exclusion Act” was passed by the US government in 1882 – designed to keep all Chinese people “OUT” of the US! This was the first Act in history to exclude a group of people entirely premised on their “race” – and is an Act that has been subsequently used across the Western world as a template for all xenophobic legislation.
