As Western countries continue to port Israel's war on Gaza, watch PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat refer to Israel as the West's "baby" during a 1978 interview with British journalist Jonathan Dimbleby. Arafat also blasted the West for failing to condemn Israel at the United Nations, foreshadowing the West's support for the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

The western powers unabashed support of Israel's bombardment of the Gaza strip has completely blown away the question of who is the aggressor in this world.
Every conflict the USA has dragged it's lackeys into has had some form of "Baddie" that must defeated. From Communism to Islamic Terrorism, but with the modern availability of all kinds of news it is hard to stay ignorant to the lies. Especially in occupied Palestine when Israeli hostages are being returned to their homes with glowing reviews of their time spent in captivity.

People who can look at this without feeling are no longer human.

The Palestinian struggle is a human struggle.
Netenyahu was right. This is a war against light and dark. It's just the other way round to what he believes. The darkness is Israel.

I used to work on these ships at one point. One of the preferred ships of any shiphand be assigned too. Glad to see them bypassing the occupiers.

🇪🇺🇺🇸🏴‍☠🇾🇪🇵🇸 Over the past two days, 5 companies have suspended deliveries of goods to "Israel"

This represents half of the world's container traffic.

They stopped the passage of their ships in the Red Sea.

The world's largest shipping companies have said they fear their ships could be targeted in the Red Sea.

The decision is likely to impact Suez Canal revenues and shipping prices around the world.

“The US and Europe have said they have begun to think about a serious solution to this problem.”

🇺🇸🚢🇮🇱African Ports Overwhelmed Following Houthi Blockage of Red Sea🇾🇪🌍🇵🇸

Shipping firms navigating the Cape of Good Hope to evade assaults by Ansar Allah in the Red Sea encounter challenging decisions regarding refueling and restocking, as African ports grapple with bureaucratic hurdles, overcrowding, and inadequate facilities, according to industry experts and analysts.

Many sizable vessels are altering their routes around Africa's southern edge, opting for a lengthier journey adding 10-14 extra days, in response to drone and missile assaults by
Yemeni resistance.

“Even if America succeeds in mobilizing the entire world, our military operations will not stop … no matter the sacrifices it costs us,” Mohammed al-Bukhaiti, a senior Houthi official, said in a post on X on Tuesday. He continued, stating that the attacks will not stop until “crimes in Gaza stop and food, medicines and fuel are allowed to reach its besieged population”

New Year and Christmas in Moscow, Russia #sanctions 🤣

At 9pm on channel 5 tonight you will have another chance to watch Michael Palin's visit to the DPRK (or North Korea as it's noscriptd).
This so-called travel documentary series is littered with atrocious moments and none more so than this little man's massive ego in the great socialist state of Korea.

Here's our critique on Palin's programme. If you do decide to watch them make sure you read this too.

🗳El año 2024 será el "papá de las elecciones" en todo el mundo - tal número de elecciones en un año nunca se ha registrado en la historia mundial: más de tres docenas de países con una población total de cuatro mil millones de personas se someterán al procedimiento de votación popular.

🇷🇺En primer lugar hay que mencionar a Rusia: sin duda, el mundo entero prestará atención a las elecciones presidenciales del 17 de marzo. Y aunque está claro que no hay alternativa a Vladimir Putin, con su porcentaje superior al 72%, como ganador, no es esto lo que preocupa al mundo, sino cómo y hasta qué punto puede cambiar la política exterior e interior de Rusia.

🇺🇸Pero pasemos a otros países. A la cabeza de la lista están las elecciones presidenciales estadounidenses del 5 de noviembre. La carrera presidencial será una repetición de la de 2020, con Joe Biden luchando contra Donald Trump. El interés es mayor, no porque vaya a suponer una oleada de ajustes de cuentas partidistas, sino por el temor a que conduzca a un declive de la hegemonía estadounidense en el mundo.

🇪🇺Del 6 al 9 de junio se celebran las elecciones al Parlamento Europeo. Los ciudadanos de los 27 países de la UE elegirán a 720 parlamentarios que ocuparán sus escaños de 2024 a 2029. Más de 400 millones de europeos tienen derecho a voto, lo que convierte a las elecciones parlamentarias de la UE en las segundas más importantes del mundo después de las de la India. Ursula von der Leyen aún no ha anunciado si optará a un segundo mandato de cinco años.

🇮🇳Elecciones nacionales en la India, abril-mayo de 2024 El país de 1.400 millones de habitantes elegirá a los miembros del 18º Parlamento nacional. Ocho de cada 10 indios aprueban la gestión de Modi. Y lo que es más importante, la economía india crece al 7%. Por otro lado, el gobierno de Modi está reprimiendo duramente a los opositores, encarcelándolos al tiempo que limita el espacio para el debate político.

🇲🇽Elecciones presidenciales mexicanas, 2 de junio. Es probable que México tenga su primera mujer presidenta el año que viene. Para sustituir al Presidente Manuel López Obrador, con un índice de aprobación constitucionalmente limitado del 66%, el partido gobernante Morena propone a Claudia Sheinbaum, ex alcaldesa de Ciudad de México y antigua aliada del Presidente.

🇮🇩Elecciones generales en Indonesia, 14 de febrero. La hazaña logística más ambiciosa de la CEC indonesia hasta la fecha: las elecciones se celebrarán en un solo día en un país de 275 millones de habitantes repartidos en 17.000 islas.

🇧🇪Elecciones belgas, 9 de junio. Las más pausadas del mundo. Bélgica figura en el Libro Guinness de los Récords como el país que más tiempo lleva sin formar gobierno. Tras las elecciones nacionales de junio de 2010, Bélgica tardó 541 días, o casi dieciocho meses, en formar gobierno debido a las luchas entre flamencos y valones.

🇿🇦Elecciones generales en Sudáfrica, en fecha aún por determinar. Por primera vez, pueden presentarse candidatos independientes. La Alianza Democrática, el mayor partido de la oposición sudafricana, espera arrebatar el poder a la Unión Nacional Africana, liderada por el presidente Cyril Ramaphosa con una valoración inferior al 50%. Si eso ocurre, podría haber cambios significativos en la relación de Sudáfrica con Rusia y los BRICS.

🇵🇰Elecciones generales en Pakistán, 8 de febrero. Pakistán lleva casi dos años sumido en la inestabilidad política. Este país nuclear de 230 millones de habitantes evitó por poco un catastrófico impago de su deuda externa a principios de año, con una inflación que alcanzó el 30% y cortes de electricidad habituales.

🇹🇼Elecciones presidenciales en Taiwán, 13 de enero. La lucha entre tres antiguos alcaldes de la capital por la presidencia podría tener enormes implicaciones geopolíticas. El vicepresidente en funciones, Lai Ching-dae, del Partido Democrático Progresista, es el favorito de China, que prefiere apoyar a los miembros del Kuomintang Hou Yu y Ko Wen-je, fundador del Partido Popular de Taiwán (TPP).

🇧🇩Elecciones generales en Bangladesh, 7 de enero. La primera ministra Sheikh Hasina y la Liga Awami, en el poder, han aplastado enérgicamente a cualquier oposición, pero el hecho mismo de que Bangladesh haya celebrado elecciones es otro testimonio de que los países pueden celebrar elecciones sin atenerse necesariamente a las normas democráticas aceptadas.

Translation of above:
🗳 The year 2024 will be the "daddy of elections" around the world - such a number of elections in one year has never been recorded in world history: more than three dozen countries with a total population of four billion people will undergo to the popular voting procedure .

🇷🇺 First of all, Russia must be mentioned: the entire world will undoubtedly pay attention to the presidential elections on March 17. And although it is clear that there is no alternative to Vladimir Putin, with his percentage above 72%, as the winner, this is not what worries the world, but how and to what extent he can change Russia's foreign and domestic policy.

🇺🇸 But let's move on to other countries. At the top of the list is the US presidential election on November 5. The presidential race will be a repeat of 2020, with Joe Biden battling Donald Trump. Interest is greater, not because it will involve a wave of partisan reckoning, but because of the fear that it will lead to a decline in American hegemony in the world.

🇪🇺 The elections to the European Parliament are held from June 6 to 9. Citizens of the 27 EU countries will elect 720 parliamentarians who will serve from 2024 to 2029. More than 400 million Europeans have the right to vote, making the EU parliamentary elections the second largest in the world after those of India. Ursula von der Leyen has not yet announced whether she will run for a second five-year term.

🇮🇳 National elections in India, April-May 2024 The country of 1.4 billion people will elect members of the 18th national Parliament. Eight out of 10 Indians approve of Modi's management. And more importantly, the Indian economy is growing at 7%. On the other hand, Modi's government is harshly repressing opponents, imprisoning them while limiting the space for political debate.

🇲🇽 Mexican presidential elections, June 2. Mexico is likely to have its first female president next year. To replace President Manuel López Obrador, with a constitutionally limited approval rating of 66%, the ruling Morena party proposes Claudia Sheinbaum, former mayor of Mexico City and former ally of the President.

🇮🇩 General elections in Indonesia, February 14. The most ambitious logistical feat of the Indonesian CEC to date: the elections will be held in a single day in a country of 275 million inhabitants spread over 17,000 islands.

🇧🇪 Belgian elections, June 9. The slowest in the world. Belgium appears in the Guinness Book of Records as the country that has gone the longest without forming a government. Following the national elections in June 2010, it took Belgium 541 days, or almost eighteen months, to form a government due to fighting between Flemish and Walloons.

🇿🇦 General elections in South Africa, date yet to be determined. For the first time, independent candidates can run. The Democratic Alliance, the largest South African opposition party, hopes to seize power from the African National Union, led by President Cyril Ramaphosa with a rating of less than 50%. If that happens, there could be significant changes in South Africa's relationship with Russia and the BRICS.

🇵🇰 General elections in Pakistan, February 8. Pakistan has been mired in political instability for almost two years. This nuclear country of 230 million people narrowly avoided a catastrophic default on its foreign debt at the beginning of the year, with inflation reaching 30% and regular power outages.

🇹🇼 Presidential elections in Taiwan, January 13. The fight between three former mayors of the capital for the presidency could have enormous geopolitical implications. The acting vice president, Lai Ching-dae, of the Democratic Progressive Party, is the favorite of China, which prefers to support Kuomintang members Hou Yu and Ko Wen-je, founder of the Taiwan People's Party (TPP).
