That the ICJ has not affirmed Israel's right to self-defense is perhaps the most important point of this provisional resolution. He is the dog that didn't bark. The argument that all Western leaders have been using has been rejected by the court. The ICJ did not repeat that an occupying power has no right to self-defense. It was not necessary. He simply ignored Israel's misleading claim.

The Oxfam organization has just published a report on inequality in the world, “Inequality SA”, which has the subtitle “A huge concentration of corporate and monopolistic power is exacerbating inequality in the global economy.” A work that brings a lot of light in these days when the media is dedicated to reporting on the World Economic Forum or Davos Forum.

Historically, annihilating purposes are denied and hidden by their protagonists. The Young Turks, or the Nazis, for example, left hardly any declarative and printed evidence of their intentions against Armenians and Jews. Discretion prevailed.

What can be expected from Lai Ching-te as president is an intensification of the projections recorded in the last two terms of the PDP with Tsai Ing-wen at the helm. That is, a firm commitment to political rapprochement with the United States, also economically, defensively and strategically. Lai's Taiwan reaffirms its validity and importance as a pivotal point for the US in Asia.

The people who really didn't want to be there were the judges, because in fact it is the judges and the Court itself that are being judged. The fact of genocide is incontrovertible and has been clearly stated. But several of the judges are desperate to find a way to please the United States and Israel and avoid rebutting the current Zionist narrative, the adoption of which is necessary to keep the elite's feet comfortably under the table.

If there is any country that boasts of defending human rights around the world, it is the United States. In the name of these rights, it imposes sanctions on countries, freezes funds from other governments abroad, orders the arrest of world leaders and even their relatives, and intervenes militarily anywhere in the world.
On the occasion of International Human Rights Day this December, let's take a look at that country that takes on the role of global watchdog.

Peace won, at least for now, the commitment to dialogue won, Latin America and the Caribbean won, our people won, and today they can sleep in peace and hug their families without the fear of being overwhelmed by a war that they tried to impose. from outside.

I don't think anything I say about what's happening in Gaza is going to affect Israeli or American policy in that conflict. But I want it on the record so that when historians look back on this moral calamity, they will see that some Americans were on the right side of history.
What Israel is doing in Gaza to the Palestinian civilian population – with the support of the Biden administration – is a crime against humanity that serves no meaningful military purpose. As J-Street, a leading Israel lobby organization, says: “The scope of the humanitarian disaster and civilian casualties taking place is almost unfathomable.”

As long as the world's leading power refuses to respect the limits of international law, it will always be a destabilizing force in the world and will contribute to future conflicts. A principled, internationalist approach to the world requires that the United States not only respect the laws it expects others to respect, but also hold itself and its customers to the highest standards. Any attempt to establish exceptions or create loopholes for the US and US-aligned states will serve to undermine international law and encourage further violations.

Washington's attitude in recent weeks has consisted of relentlessly feeding Israeli arsenals with bombs of all kinds, knowing the terrible humanitarian cost that the massive destruction has had for more than a million civilians.
The image of a benevolent power that the United States cultivates has been shattered, to the point that protests against President Joe Biden's administration in North American cities have become a regular, daily occurrence. The unrest has spread among thousands of officials in the White House, Congress, the State Department and the Pentagon. In some cases, the unrest has transpired through letters, signed or not, and even with a loud resignation.

The United States intends to use a historic territorial dispute between Venezuela and Guyana over the Essequibo to promote an armed conflict in Latin America, justify military expansion in the region and thus take control of the continent's immense wealth, as confessed by the head of the Southern Command, Laura Richardson.
