Several Israeli media sources (& Hurriyet) report that the #UAE & #Egypt will participate in ‘day after’ Arab security force in Gaza.
Egyptian & Emirati media silent on this, probably because the people are strongly opposed to this scheme; governments would condition participation on Palestinian statehood - which Bibi blocks. @israel@egypt@uae
#Hamas said NO FOREIGN TROOPS, quite clearly a couple of weeks ago @Sherifazuhur. They SPECIFICALLY MENTIONED Arab nations as unwelcome. They don't want so-called 'peacekeepers' from arab #NATO SATRAPS . This is WAR. They intend to win, scorched earth or not
I suggest, without joking, a coalition of the formerly colonized... consisting of the nations in that category pursuing the ICC #genocide case, to supply MILITARY MUTUAL AID to Hamas in the form of #IDF killing troops. @israel@egypt@uae
Today in Writing History June 4, 1917: Laura E. Richards, Maude H. Elliott, and Florence Hall won the first Pulitzer prize for biography. They wrote about their mother Julia Ward Howe, the feminist, abolitionist, pacifist author and poet. You can read the biography here.
Howe not only wrote the lyrics to The Battle Hymn of the Republic; she also wrote the pacifist 1870 Mother’s Day Proclamation. Also known as the Appeal to Womanhood Throughout the World, the proclamation called on women to unite worldwide for peace. In 1872, Howe called for a Mother’s Day for Peace to be celebrated each year on June 2. Yet today, women throughout the U.S. and Europe (along with the men) are calling for ever more heavy weaponry and NATO troops to be sent to the Ukrainian killing fields, where over 200,000 Ukrainians have already lost their lives, and where this now direct NATO involvement risks precipitating WWIII between nuclear-armed powers, neither of which show any indication that they are willing to back down or negotiate an end to the slaughter. Where is the peace movement today? Or, is some slaughter justified in the name of capitalism (er, I mean against despotism)? And, if that is true, where are all the people screaming for war against India? Philippines? Italy? Saudi Arabia? El Salvador? Egypt? Sudan? And Israel?
@jmcs@trajekolus yes and no. The perception is otherwise. The perception is an alliance of western values and democracy. And as we all Know perception is reality. So, yes, #nato sucks. There was no natural law of physics that denied the circling of F35, rafale or Tornados over Kharkiv 230222. None.
@jmcs and would have been #fuckrussia decision to make. Evidence shows the Russian scum backs down only against strength. So, still, #nato sucks. P. S. There l were a zillion options what the orcs could have done except nukes. Dont fall for their propaganda.
Nato’s failure to save Ukraine raises an existential question: what on earth is it for? ( www.theguardian.com )
