The Pot Calling The Kettle Black

"Netanyahu accuses the UK, France and Canada of 'enabling Hamas'"

"'When mass murderers, rapists, baby killers and kidnappers thank you, you're on the wrong side of justice,' Netanyahu said"

The above quote is a classical example of the Pot calling the Kettle Black.  Bibi is upset because the countries targeted by him spoke out against Israel's tactic to starve Gaza's population intentionally to dead.

The fact is, Israel has been and still is on the wrong side of justice for a very, very long time.

Recent history leaves no doubt who the mass murderers, baby killers and kidnappers really are.  The number of people kidnapped by Hamas is dwarfed by the number Israel has kidnapped over the years, by all accounts.

During the October 7th invasion by Hamas, Israel had, according to evidence, instituted the Hannibal directive, which meant that anything moving on the ground was fired upon by the Israeli military Helicopters', resulting in the deaths of many Israelis by Israel's 'Attack Helicopters'.  We also remember the two Israelis, which escaped from Hamas, only to be killed by Israeli soldiers, despite their waving a white cloth for identification.  The Israeli Government denies all of which.

In 2008, Bette Midler (well known performer), in the writer's presence, once told her audience in Las Vegas, to the affect, 'you must know Israel is a country of crying people'.  The fact that she is a Jew herself saved her probably from being accused of 'antisemitism'.  No doubt, she knows her people.

We also remember the returned Israeli hostages who upon being freed hugged and kissed their Hamas captors goodbye thus invalidating Israeli Government lies of mistreatment received by Hamas.  Some Israeli female hostages shared stories of utter respect they experienced while in captivity.  All to the disappointment of Bibi no doubt.

 

 

"Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu slams UK, France and Canada in wake of deadly DC shooting"

"Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not hold back in his criticism of U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. 

The Israeli leader’s condemnation comes after the U.K., France and Canada issued a joint statement demanding that Israel end its military campaign in Gaza.

In a video statement released on Thursday, Netanyahu said Hamas does not want a Palestinian state; rather, the terror group wants the destruction of the state of Israel. He questioned how this "simple truth evades the leaders of France, Britain, Canada and others." Netanyahu went on to accuse the U.K., France and Canada of giving Hamas "the ultimate prize" in their insistence on the establishment of a Palestinian state.

"Well, for 18 years we had a de facto Palestinian state. It’s called Gaza. And what did we get? Peace? No. We got the most savage slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust," Netanyahu said in the video statement.

Hamas issued a statement thanking the U.K., France and Canada for "rejecting the policy of siege and starvation pursued by the occupation government against our people in the Gaza Strip, and the Zionist plans aimed at genocide and displacement," according to the Jerusalem Post.

The terror organization also urged Arab and Islamic countries, the European Union and others "to take urgent action and adopt firm positions and concrete measures to halt the barbaric Zionist aggression," among other things.

"I say to President Macron, Prime Minister Carney and Prime Minister Starmer: When mass murderers, rapists, baby killers and kidnappers thank you, you're on the wrong side of justice," Netanyahu said in a video statement on Thursday. "You're on the wrong side of humanity and you're on the wrong side of history."

Netanyahu went on to say that while Starmer, Macron and Carney may think they are "advancing peace," they’re actually "emboldening Hamas to continue fighting forever.""

When Political B.S. Meets Reality

During political campaigns politicians make many promises but rarely keep their word.  Later when in office their quasi actions do not hold up to reality, at best they are benefiting preordained members of the donor class, at the expense of the masses of the voters who got them into office in the first place.  Jeffry Sachs a world renowned Economist makes the point in the video linked to below.

"Moody's downgrades US credit rating citing rising debt"

 Surprise, surprise

Ali Abbas Ahmadi

BBC News

 

" Moody's warned in 2023 that the US' triple-A rating was at risk"

"The US has lost its last triple-A credit score from a major ratings firm after being downgraded by Moody's, which cited growing federal debt over the past decade.

In lowering the US rating to 'Aa1', Moody's noted that successive US administrations had failed to reverse ballooning deficits and interest costs.

A triple-A rating signifies a country's highest possible credit reliability, and indicates it is considered to be in very good financial health with a strong capacity to repay its debts.

Moody's warned in 2023 the US triple-A rating was at risk. Fitch Ratings downgraded the US in 2023 and S&P Global Ratings did so in 2011.

The downgrade "reflects the increase over more than a decade in government debt and interest payment ratios to levels that are significantly higher than similarly rated sovereigns," Moody's said in the statement. 

A lower credit rating means countries are more likely to default on their sovereign debt, and generally face higher borrowing costs.

Moody's maintained that the US "retains exceptional credit strengths such as size, resilience and dynamism and the continued role of the US dollar as the global reserve currency".

The BBC has reached out to the US Department of Treasury for comment."

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4ge0xk4ld1o 

This latest downgrade by Moody is the result of gross mismanagement of the economy by either political party over the years.  For example, financing the war in Ukraine and the Genocide in Gaza with borrowed money is certainly lacking fiscal responsibility.  All this deficit spending, in violation of the Constitution apparently, is ongoing while too many working Americans must sleep in their cars, for they cannot afford the rent of a safe place to live in.

"A lower credit rating means countries are more likely to default on their sovereign debt, and generally face higher borrowing costs." Ref. article text shown above.

One Million Dollars Fine Or 20 Years In Jail Can Be Yours ... For What?

 House Bill No.  H.R. 867 almost came up for a vote today; it was withdrawn, however, for mostly unknown reasons.  For more details watch the videos linked to below.  Opinion has it, there is a good chance this bill will be included in another more complex bill, properly buried to make it not easier but harder to locate, giving it a better chance to be unknowingly voted for, in the affirmative.  By the way, the intent of this bill is unconstitutional, as it violates the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

It seems that the so-called U.S. Representatives are trying desperately to protect Israel from the major image damage that Israel has inflicted upon itself, by all accounts.  Is this an act of desperation?  If so, it most likely will not work but it certainly could piss-off the masses, when their rights are removed in favor of a foreign country.

If Trump really means 'America First' he cannot sign this bill into law, if approved, lest he wishes to acknowledge that he is a big Liar.  So far, some of his actions already taken makes some people wonder if he really has America first in his heart and brain.

"Kids who are US citizens, by birth, are getting hauled to Honduras. Does this Make America Great?"

 Blog amended 5/30/2025 *

* According to the U.S. Constitution Amendment XIV, SECTION 1

"All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.  No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or communities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; not deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."  Added to this Blog Post 5/30/2025

 Not withstanding the Fourth Amendment, Children born in the U.S. became the next victims; an honored longstanding tradition is abruptly axed; are honor and tradition dead?

"The Republicans who chose Donald Trump to be president of the United States must be over-the-moon delighted to see his administration addressing the greatest threat America faces: children who are U.S. citizens.

That’s right. We recently learned a 2-year-old, a 7-year-old and a 4-year-old with Stage 4 cancer – all citizens – were whisked out of the country April 25 and deposited in Honduras with their mothers, who were being deported by Immigration and Customs Enforcement."

 

"That child, along with the other two, wound up in Honduras with the two mothers."

 "Regarding the 2-year-old, who, if I’m sure, posed the biggest threat of them all, a Trump-appointed federal judge wrote that he has a “strong suspicion that the Government just deported a U.S. citizen with no meaningful process.” The child’s father wanted her to remain with him in the United States, but the mother and child were spirited away with a speed that tells you all you need to know about the process.

Now I assume from their lack of outrage that Republican lawmakers are in favor of citizen-toddlers being denied due process. I mean, have these kids really earned it yet?

 I also assume folks out there cheering on Trump in the face of all available evidence and pitiful polling numbers – he has the lowest 100-day approval rating of any president in 80 years – are okey dokey with ICE creating situations like this, described by the ACLU as: A “U.S. citizen child suffering from a rare form of metastatic cancer was deported without medication or the ability to consult with their treating physicians – despite ICE being notified in advance of the child’s urgent medical needs.”

The Washington Post spoke to lawyers for the two families and reported that “both families were taken into custody while attending routine check-ins … in New Orleans as part of the Intensive Supervision Appearance Program, which allows individuals to remain in their communities while undergoing immigration proceedings. Lawyers say the families were taken to Alexandria, Louisiana, a three-hour drive from New Orleans, where they were prevented from communicating with their family members and legal representatives and then put on a flight to Honduras.”  https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/columnist/2025/04/28/children-deported-us-citizens-trump-republicans/83274745007/?tbref=hp

"Israel’s Genocide Has Killed More Journalists Than WWI and WWII Combined: Report"

 

"Palestinian journalists lift placards during a rally in protest of the killing of fellow reporters Hussam Shabat and Muhammad Mansour in Israeli strikes a day earlier, at the al-Ahli Arab hospital, also known as the Baptist hospital, in Gaza City on March 25, 2025.

 There is little doubt that the Israeli 'Killing machine' is probably the best ever in recent historical terms.  This makes the former German SS look like choir boys by comparison, it appears.

 "At least 232 journalists have been killed amid the genocide, a new Costs of War report finds."

By

Sharon Zhang ,

Published

April 1, 2025 

 

"More journalists have been killed in Israel’s genocide in Gaza than in the past seven major U.S.-involved wars combined, marking the “worst ever conflict” for reporters in history, a new report says. "

 "As of late March, at least 232 journalists have been killed in the Gaza genocide, with the vast majority being Palestinians, according to a new paper by the Costs of War project in Brown University’s Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs. Nearly 380 journalists have been wounded in the violence as of January, per the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate.

This is the highest journalist death toll of any U.S. war since the Civil War, the group says — and, in fact, tops the combined toll of journalist casualties in the U.S. Civil War, World War I, World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War (including the U.S.’s assaults on Cambodia and Laos), the Yugoslav Wars, the War in Afghanistan, and the ongoing Ukraine War.

In the first month of Israel’s genocide alone, at least 37 journalists were killed, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists — marking the deadliest month on record for journalists worldwide, the group said.

The report, written by journalist Nick Turse, tallies the journalist death toll based on accounting by Al Jazeera and the Committee to Protect Journalists. The toll calculated by Turse is far higher than the oft-cited death toll tallied by the latter group.

As the report notes, the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate said that the death toll of journalists as of a year ago was about 10 percent of Gaza’s journalist community — equivalent to killing 8,500 journalists in the U.S. That number would be even higher if the journalism profession in the U.S. had not been gutted over the past decades.

It’s unclear how many of these killings were deliberate targeting of journalists, but it’s clear that Israel has “unleashed an unrelenting war on the press,” the analysis says. Reporters Sans Frontières has counted at least 35 cases where there is sufficient evidence of direct targeting — though press freedom groups and experts have repeatedly said that it is clear that Israel is undertaking a concerted effort to slaughter those documenting the genocide.

Those directly targeted by Israeli forces include 23-year-old journalist Hossam Shabat, who Israel killed in an airstrike last week. The young journalist had become well-known throughout the genocide for his unrelenting coverage of northern Gaza in the face of Israel’s intense assault and siege on the region. Israel has acknowledged his killing, claiming, without evidence, that Shabat was a terrorist.

On Tuesday, the same day that the report was released, the Palestinian Journalists Protection Committee announced that Israel had targeted and killed another journalist, Al-Aqsa Radio reporter Mohammed Saleh Al-Bardawil, also killing his wife and three children.

In addition to targeting and killing journalists, “Israel has employed a full spectrum effort to undermine the free flow of information,” the report says, through the Israeli military’s destruction of the communications system in Gaza and intimidation and widespread repression of the press.

Israel’s targeting of journalists is an escalation of the erosion of journalism across the world.

“Across the globe, the economics of the industry, the violence of war, and coordinated censorship campaigns threaten to turn an increasing number of conflict zones into news graveyards, with Gaza being the most extreme example,” the report says."

"Drone strike sets Gaza-bound aid ship ablaze in int'l waters"

"A humanitarian ship en route to Gaza was struck by drones and engulfed in flames early Friday while sailing in international waters off Malta, according to the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, the group organizing the mission.

All passengers aboard survived following a rescue operation, the Maltese government confirmed.

The targeted vessel, Conscience, was carrying 16 people – 12 crew and four civilians – when it was reportedly attacked twice by armed drones just after midnight.

The ship issued a distress call from 17 nautical miles (31.5 kilometers) east of Malta.

Video shared by the coalition showed explosions lighting up the night sky, followed by flames consuming part of the vessel.

The group alleged the strike was a deliberate act by Israeli forces and said the attack caused significant damage to the hull and the ship’s generator, placing it at risk of sinking.

A humanitarian ship en route to Gaza was struck by drones and engulfed in flames early Friday while sailing in international waters off Malta, according to the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, the group organizing the mission.

The ship issued a distress call from 17 nautical miles (31.5 kilometers) east of Malta.

Video shared by the coalition showed explosions lighting up the night sky, followed by flames consuming part of the vessel.

The group alleged the strike was a deliberate act by Israeli forces and said the attack caused significant damage to the hull and the ship’s generator, placing it at risk of sinking.

“Israeli ambassadors must be summoned and answer to violations of international law,” the coalition said in a statement, demanding accountability for what it called the targeting of a civilian vessel.

Israel’s Foreign Ministry has not responded to the accusations.

The Maltese authorities dispatched a patrol vessel, and a nearby tugboat began firefighting efforts. Although the vessel’s crew refused to abandon ship, officials later confirmed everyone was safe after hours of containment.

The Freedom Flotilla Coalition, which is campaigning to end Israel’s 17-year blockade of Gaza, said the ship was part of a covert mission involving volunteers from over 21 countries, including prominent human rights figures.

Organizers maintained media silence in the lead-up to the journey, hoping to avoid interference.

This latest attack evokes memories of a deadly 2010 incident when Israeli forces boarded a Gaza-bound flotilla, killing nine activists.

While other blockade-challenging missions have been intercepted without bloodshed, tensions remain high.

The attempted voyage comes amid ongoing conflict in Gaza.

Following Hamas' Oct. 7, 2023, incursion on southern Israel, which killed 1,200 and led to 251 hostage takings, Israel’s retaliatory offensive has claimed over 52,000 lives, per Palestinian health officials."
