Hamas provoque un électrochoc planétaire en dévoilant la nature génocidaire du sionisme (1)

Les hommes politiques et les médias mainstream occidentaux ont longtemps dupé leur monde, en faisant croire à qui veut l’entendre que le parti politique palestinien Hamas, pivot ces dernières années de la résistance armée, contre l’occupant israélien, serait une organisation «terroriste» «fondamentaliste», « islamiste». Et de marteler : «tantôt proche des frères musulmans d’Égypte, tantôt apparenté à Daech (ISIS en anglais et EI en français) ; soit dit en passant, Daech fut créée par le Mossad-CIA-MI6, comme proxy, dans le sillage d’Al-Qaïda. L’EI, se bat toujours en Syrie contre Bachar et pour l’étoile de David et la bannière étoilée, tandis que le contribuable étasunien croit que son pays combat le terrorisme…

Le mystère de l’attaque de Tower 22

«La Résistance islamique en Irak a revendiqué la responsabilité d’une attaque majeure contre une base militaire américaine en Jordanie. Les États-Unis ont déclaré que le nombre de victimes «pourrait augmenter»».

Iran has crossed American’s ‘red line’…regime’s terror chiefs should prepare to be wiped out, warns former US ambassador

Mark Wallace told The Sun that Iranian terror chiefs should be preparing to be wiped out as the only “correct action” is a large-scale blitz of their military bases inside Iran.

Wallace, former US ambassador to the UN, said: “President Biden established his red line with Iran, which was that if any US soldiers were killed, he would act decisively – that line has been crossed.”

Iran Demonstrates Strength to Keep Adversaries at Bay

In mid-January, Iran aimed a missile barrage at a range of adversaries based in Pakistan, Iraq, and Syria in a show of force intended to deter its two main adversaries, the United States and Israel.

Iran’s volleys deviated from Tehran’s classic strategy of acting through a network of allied militias and movements.

Despite the Terrorism Designation, the Houthis Remain Undeterred

The U.S. designation of the Ansarallah movement (Houthis) as a “Specially Designated Global Terrorist” organization last week is unlikely to stop Houthi attacks on commercial shipping through the Red Sea.
The Houthis’ leaders are defying U.S.-led retaliatory attacks and the terrorism designation, insisting their attacks will only cease when the Israel-Hamas war ends.

Iran says US strikes are a ‘strategic mistake’

Iran has called US air strikes on Iraq and Syria a “strategic mistake” after 85 targets were hit across the region on Friday.

The US launched retaliatory strikes in response to last week’s drone attack on a US military base that killed three American soldiers.

The New Bipolarity: Tom Friedman Prophesies a New Global Conflict and Mostly Gets It Wrong

In a recent long opinion article for the New York Times, pundit Thomas Friedman announces “a titanic geopolitical struggle between two opposing networks of nations and nonstate actors over whose values and interests will dominate our post-Cold War world.” (NY Times, January 26, 2024, p. A26). This perception is not silly. The essentially unipolar hegemony enjoyed by the United States since the end of the Cold War is surely under fire, and new constellations of power and influence are forming. But Friedman’s description of the emerging conflict is a sophomoric mashup of historical theory and primitive moralism. It is as if he were a sportscaster announcing a fight between villainous and heroic contestants.
