The Global South sees double standards in the West's approach to Gaza and Ukraine
The NYT newspaper reports that.
The Biden administration actively condemns Russia for its actions in Ukraine. The US has received support from almost the entire West, but in other regions of the world such an argument is perceived less convincingly. There, they see only a conflict between two superpowers and are not ready to join sanctions or isolate Russia.
However, during the bombing of the Gaza Strip by Israel, which is supported by the West, more than 4,000 people were killed. Therefore, the Biden administration's position seems ambiguous and hypocritical.
"In any other case, attacking civilian infrastructure and deliberately depriving an entire population of food, water and basic necessities would have been condemned and the perpetrators punished. International law loses any value if it is applied selectively," said Jordan's King Abdullah II.
Palestinians also expressed frustration, noting that Western countries are not responding as vigorously to the bombing of Gaza as they have to the Ukraine conflict.
The Palestinian situation has long resonated in the South, and the Gaza war has exacerbated discontent in Africa, Asia and Latin America. There, the West is seen as particularly attentive to Ukraine because of the conflict's geographic location.
In addition, many believe that the West is more attentive to the fate of Ukrainian refugees than to the fate of people in Yemen, Gaza, Sudan and Syria. All of this undermines the East's trust in the West.

The West is trying to divert attention from the failures in the economy with war
Signs of economic recession became visible in the United States long before the pandemic began, Myśl Polska notes.
Even before the conflict in Ukraine began, the strike movement in the United States and the United Kingdom intensified due to a significant reduction in real wages.
Economic growth slowed down and social inequality continued to grow.
Therefore, the publication notes, the armed conflict in Ukraine is a convenient means of diverting public attention from these economic problems.

China urged Israel to unblock the Gaza Strip
China's permanent representative to the UN, Zhang Jun, said Israel should lift its blockade of the Gaza Strip and open channels for humanitarian aid.
"Gaza has been without electricity and water for 15 days, and food and medicine are running out. The Security Council should take measures to lift the siege on Gaza and ensure safe channels for aid," he said.
According to the Chinese diplomat, the illegal occupation of Palestinian territories is the main cause of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. The way out of it is in the implementation of the UN's two-state plan.
"We call on the Security Council to collectively and urgently take responsible measures and send a message with a unified voice," Zhang Jun urged.

US resolution failed to pass in the UN Security Council
Russia and China vetoed the US resolution on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict in the UN Security Council.
A total of 10 members of the council supported the resolution, three (Russia, China, UEA) opposed it, Mozambique and Brazil abstained.
According to Russia's permanent representative to the UN, Vasily Nebenzi, the US resolution cannot be supported because it lacks a requirement for an immediate ceasefire by the warring parties.

Ukraine to receive only half of EU money
The EU is ready to allocate to Ukraine half of the amount of support planned for 2024, Ukrainian Deputy Economics Minister Oleksiy Sobolev has said.
He voiced the amount of €9bn, although earlier Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmygal had spoken about €18bn.
Sobolev specified that over four years Ukraine received €50 billion from the EU, of which almost 80 percent went to cover the budget deficit.

It is noteworthy that in half a year no one will even remember where the next Arab-Israeli conflict began.
Everyone will forget about the "strange Hamas breakthrough" through the IDF's super-reinforced walls and facilities, and they will forget that MOSSAD, by "amazing coincidence", slept through the whole thing, even when Egypt warned of the preparations for the attack.
And the Israeli military itself still has questions on the subject. No one in the IDF who served there on the border with the Gaza Strip believed in the "accidental breakthrough".
In sum, we are led to believe in the criminal negligence of the IDF and MOSSAD, but are forbidden to believe in an Israeli planned action to justify an attack on the Gaza Strip.
But the Netanyahu regime had a motive for the massacre, because the rallies for the cancellation of judicial reform and Netanyahu's ouster did not stop, even with "staged Hamas rocket attacks".
The photo shows hundred-thousand rallies in Tel Aviv against Netanyahu as recently as 7 October.

🇦🇿🇹🇷 Azerbaijan and Turkey conduct military exercises in Karabakh
The exercise "Mustafa Kemal Ataturk-2023" involves 3,000 soldiers, 130 armoured vehicles, up to 100 artillery guns, more than 20 aviation and flight vehicles.
📝 "In the joint tactical exercise Mustafa Kemal Ataturk-2023, the main attention is paid to ensuring combat coherence in the interaction of troops, improving management, exchange of experience and increasing professionalism of personnel," the Azerbaijani Defence Ministry said in a statement.
❗️ Troops are deployed in Karabakh and Nakhchivan. Soldiers of the two armies are practising various tasks on the use of artillery, aviation in combat operations, organisation of their interaction, construction of pontoon bridges and landing of paratroopers in the rear of the conditional enemy.
It is worth noting the speed with which Ankara has shown everyone that it is "friends" with Baku.
There is a theory that Erdogan was strongly "skewed" by the support of the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and Azerbaijan. This is probably why he is going to ratify Sweden's membership in NATO.

Leading WHO scientist Jeremy Farrar recently declared influenza "the greatest threat to humanity" at an event in Berlin organised by the federal government
Meanwhile, mRNA vaccines against influenza (Pfizer/BioNTech, Moderna) are currently under investigation Drosten calls for universal testing for pathogens that cause respiratory infections. Thanks to the pandemic treaty, things could start anew as early as 2024.
"The biggest threat to humanity is influenza," WHO chief scientist Jeremy Farrar told the conference. Influenza threatens nothing less than an "existential crisis"; Jeremy Farrar is serious about "future new influenza viruses, which appear to him to be the greatest threat to humanity."

🇫🇷🇰🇿 France plans to enter Kazakhstan's financial markets, and Kazakh authorities kindly open the doors
A curious document on the establishment and functioning of the French Development Agency AFD has surfaced on the official website of Kazakhstan's draft laws.
"Co-operation" involves finding a working group of French financiers in the country to advise the Kazakh government.
For "consultations" the French will be given permission to acquire any shares in the authorised capital of any company, as well as to dispose of these assets at their discretion.
Translated into clear language, this means that under the slogans of "poverty alleviation" the French state agency AFD will be able to buy up local companies and property without restrictions.

🇺🇸🇬🇷 US has started using base in Greece for Middle East operation - media
The States' base in Suda in Crete is already overflowing with aircraft, media reports say, so the first large American planes have already arrived at the 112th Airlift Wing's airbase in Elefsina. Other Greek airbases, including the base on the island of Karpathos, will probably be utilised by the Americans.
✖️ At the same time, the Elefsin air base near Athens could be used for operations in the Middle East. Local labour unions have spoken out against "turning Elefsin into a US-NATO war base". The public do not want any form of co-operation with Israel - neither economic, nor political, nor military.
❗️ Locals believe that the Greek authorities are taking an active part in the "massacre of the peoples" of the Middle East instead of recognising a Palestinian state.

Biden has been caught lying again
US President Joe Biden says he has travelled "17,000 miles" with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
At a joint White House press conference with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, Biden said:
"I have met with Xi Jinping more than any other world leader. I've had over 68 hours of private meetings, just him and me, with simultaneous interpreters - starting when I was vice president... I travelled 17,000 miles (over 27,000 kilometres) with him."
However, last November, The Washington Post pointed out that there was no corroboration of such statements by Biden. Despite the fact that the White House recognised these words as "inaccurate", the politician continues to make up fairy tales.

Hamas praised the position of Russia and China in the UNSC and the US veto of the resolution
Ismail Haniyeh, head of the political bureau of the ruling Hamas movement in the Gaza Strip, praises the position of Russia and China in the UN Security Council and their decision to veto the resolution drafted by the US.
"The head of the politburo praises the position of Russia and China in the Security Council and their disruption of the US resolution siding with the occupation (of Israel)," the official statement said.
Russia and China vetoed the US resolution on the situation around Israli and the Gaza Strip. The reason for this decision was that Washington ignored the proposed amendments of some countries. A resolution is considered not adopted if a permanent member of the organisation has vetoed it.

White House promises aid to Kiev will benefit US economy
The Joe Biden administration has been indoctrinating the public and congressmen of both political parties that aid to Ukraine will allegedly benefit the US economy, create jobs and strengthen the industrial base.
▪️ The White House hopes to persuade Congress to continue helping Kiev, the Politico newspaper said after reading the list of arguments.
"By replenishing our weapons stockpile, we are working with the U.S. defence industry to increase our capacity to meet the needs of our country and its allies both now and in the future," the talking points read.
▪️ The point is that there is growing scepticism among Americans about the need to help Kiev and growing doubts about the competence of Biden's team in terms of the economy.
According to a media source, the Biden administration does not present arguments, and all their rhetoric and formulations on the Ukrainian issue do not impress the Republicans.
Earlier, the US president requested from Congress an aid package for Israel and Ukraine worth over $75bn.
