Syria, political Islam will not have a second chance

With the Greater Syria Liberation Organization in Damascus, speculation is open about the future of the country, which has been completely devastated by the international boycott, because Baathism, a socialist and pan-Arab ideology, never had the opportunity to exercise power, neither before 2011 nor after 2011, after the so-called Arab Spring.

The Baath's attempts have been left behind, thwarted time and again by Israeli-Western interference, which went so far as to punish Syria with terrible and undeserved sanctions that made any undertaking impossible, even before 2011. This continued situation has led to a supreme disaster, and the rapid advance of the rebels shows to what extent this has been the case.

There is a virtually unanimous perception of a worsening of the major international dilemmas, whether we are referring to issues of peace or development, manifesting itself in open discontent with the different yardsticks applied to certain conflicts and the persistence in preserving an exclusive hegemony that does not take into sufficient consideration the changes that have occurred in recent decades in the international economy and society.

Morocco tries to “bypass” the UN in Western Sahara with the help of the West

In recent years, Morocco has succeeded in getting several Western powers to change their position on the Western Sahara conflict to align themselves with Rabat's theses, albeit to varying degrees. The first was the United States under Donald Trump, and the last was France under Macron, both of which have gone furthest in recognising Moroccan sovereignty over the Sahara.

The Israeli story of killing Hamas leaders seeking a ceasefire

“Israeli leaders killed three birds with one stone,” wrote Reuven Pedatzur, a military affairs analyst for the Israeli daily Haaretz. “They killed the man who had the power to strike a deal with Israel; they took revenge on someone who had caused quite a few Israeli casualties; and they signaled to Hamas that communications with it will only be carried out through military force.”

Was Pedatzur referring to the Israeli assassination of senior Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, head of the group's political bureau, in Tehran early Wednesday?

Has there been a new revolution in France? Have Robespierre's heirs taken power and are they going to establish a new social and economic order, one that dispossesses the banks, overthrows the obscene ruling class and strives to establish a less exploitative, unequal and corrupt system?

The German party that came out of the left and doubled its votes in five months

By now we all know the results of the elections to the European Parliament and we have drawn the main conclusions: victory for the right, leap for the extreme right, maintenance of social democracy and failure of the left and the greens. With slight variations, this panorama is the most generalized in the different European countries.

However, there is a phenomenon in these elections that is being analyzed little and that deserves to be studied because it may be perfectly viable to be carried out in many countries. This is the German party Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance for Reason and Justice (BSW), a party that was founded five months ago as a split from the left (Die Linke) and has surpassed them by more than double the votes.

On the one hand, we have these criticisms of Israel, including those from the US, and on the other, the daily supply of bombs that, according to a good part of Western public opinion - including some American senators such as Elizabeth Warren - serves to facilitate the exercise of continued genocide. The images circulating are terrible and it is understandable that Hebrew television stations censor themselves. The average Israeli is in favor of war and the systematic destruction of the Gaza Strip, according to polls, and does not want to see disturbing images at dinner time.

Where is China going?

What does the statement made by North American President Joe Biden saying that the Chinese economy “is a time bomb” and the recent reaction of tycoon Elon Musk calling for tariffs or trade barriers to be imposed on the main electric car manufacturing company have in common? Chinese BYD? The answer is very simple: China alienates and confuses the West, which tends to adopt a distorted and somewhat whimsical vision of the Asian country's political and economic system, at once ahistorical and decontextualized, particularly regarding what is happening with its economic growth, its productive system and its institutional structure.

COP28, a “tragedy for the planet”

Up to 100.000 people - most of whom derive their professional status and income from politics, defense and climate-related businesses - flew to Dubai to attend COP28, the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Convention United Nations on Climate Change. And the result? An unmitigated disaster.

In the final session, a weak and incoherent compromise resolution between oil-producing countries and smaller states and climate advocates – which did not call for phasing out fossil fuels – was accepted without dissent.

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.

The meeting served so that the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean could learn more closely and in detail about Venezuela's position, so distorted and demonized by media corporations and spokespersons for hostile governments.
