U.S. President Donald Trump has once again issued a threat to the Palestinian resistance movement, Hamas, and in fact all the people of Gaza to release all Israeli captives in the territory. In a social media post on Wednesday, Trump said once again “there will be hell to pay” if captives are not released. Now Hamas spokesperson Abdul Latif Alkanu said on Thursday that “Trump's repeated threats against our people represents support to Netanyahu to evade the Gaza ceasefire agreement and tighten a siege and starvation against our people.” Hamas said threats will not work against Palestinians. In fact, the ceasefire was working and is the only way that the captives will be released. Now Donald Trump's threats and the occupation utilizing those threats as cover to renege on the Gaza ceasefire is a pressing issue of today's spotlight program and now for our guests Kevin Barrett from Saida, Morocco, and Sakina Datu, journalist and writer joining us out of London.

Hello, Dr. Kevin Barrett. Welcome to the program, sir. We're gonna start with you. Trump also said in the last couple of days, to the people of Gaza, “a beautiful future awaits you, but not if you hold the hostages. If you do, you are dead. Make a smart decision.” Now the same government's complicit in ruining your homeland, killing over 50,000 of your people, annihilating everything, all the infrastructure that you've grown up through and lived upon for many decades, is promising you a beautiful future—the same guy that's threatening you with complete dispossession and ethnic cleansing of Gaza. Your initial thoughts.

Kevin Barrett: Well, the headline of the article I just published in Crescent International Magazine was that Trump is the ugly American on steroids. There's a stereotype of the ugly American, kind of the brutal, uncultured, uncouth, loud-mouthed ignorant slob who, if he gets a few drinks in him, is aggressive and extremely obnoxious. This obviously doesn't describe all Americans, but it describes, unfortunately, more than enough of them, including Trump. In fact, Trump is completely obviously just out of control.

And these obnoxious genocide threats are obviously illegal under international law. He's basically threatening to kill everybody in Gaza and finish the job, which means finish the genocide. He’s essentially threatening genocide. And that's really about the most extreme case that we can think of with regard to the kind of discussions people have had around the responsibility to protect or R2P concept, which is that when there's the imminent danger of an atrocity, even something much less than a genocide of the kind that we're seeing in Gaza, that force is required to stop it. And so that means that Trump has really put himself in the crosshairs of anybody in the world who believes in enforcing international law. He's made himself basically what Hitler would have been if Hitler were everything that they said he was, which he wasn't. But Trump is.

And in fact, half the American public basically sees Trump that way. And half of the European public or more sees him that way. And the whole Global Gouth sees that this genocide has put the United States so far on the wrong side of history that not only is that Zionist settler colonial project now doomed, with six billion people in the Global South determined to make sure that these genocide perpetrators meet their comeuppance and that this experiment be terminated with extreme prejudice, but the United States itself is now in the crosshairs of those 6 billion people too. And nobody more than Donald Trump is right there sitting in the center of this genocide machine, blabbering these disgusting threats.

Now, having said that, let me say there's always the slight chance that Trump is doing the sort of thing he did with North Korea during his first term, threatening fire and fury and brimstone like the world has never seen, basically threatening to drop nuclear bombs on North Korea. And then the next thing you know, he's shaking hands with its leader. And he's best friends with the leadership there.

The U.S. is now secretly—but not so secretly anymore, since it got leaked—negotiating with Hamas directly for the first time. So there's always the chance that Trump is using some kind of bizarre negotiating strategy where he pretends to be an unhinged genocidal psychotic. And in reality, that's a smokescreen for him doing something completely the opposite of what he seems to be doing based on what he's saying. And let's hope and pray that that's the case.

All right, thank you, Dr. Barrett. And Sakina Datu, thank you for your patience. Welcome to our spotlight program here. I hope you're safe and doing well out there in London. Now, Trump, Sakina, the same man who's been pushing for permanent dispossession of Gaza, is making threats of hell to pay. What is a bigger hell to pay than losing Gaza altogether when it comes to Palestinians? And two, how do Trump's threats, from your perspective, impact the occupation's adherence to the parameters of the Gaza ceasefire?

Sakina Datu: I think, you know, Donald Trump has…I’m tempted to say that he's actually gone crazy. But I do think that there's probably a strategy he's thinking about, and that's giving him credit for having any kind of intelligence, saying something else but planning something else. Because we've heard about the secret talks that he's having with Hamas. We've seen what he's done with Zelinski. It can very well happen with Netanyahu. It is not far-fetched to think that. He can turn the tables any time.

But having said that, Trump is not the main person making the decisions at the White House. We know that the entire team around him are hardcore Zionists. It is actually them calling the shots. But still, I think this threat that he has given is an empty threat. I don't think practically there is a possibility of US, for example, putting boots on the ground. Yes, of course they continue to give arms to Israel and encouraging them to keep on committing a genocide. But we have already seen a genocide happen. We are already seeing (genocide moving to) the West Bank.

And the Palestinians have sat through all this and they've made it very clear that they're not going anywhere. So short of him really putting the boots on the ground and forcefully removing people, I don't know how this can happen. And when you talk about putting the boots on the ground, when you're talking about the Israeli army, for example, these are diaper armies. These are very good at just sitting on their machines and throwing drones and killing children and women. But if they are forced, to meet the resistance or to meet Palestinians, they will not be able to survive.

So I think that Trump likes to make waves. He likes to give these statements that are very controversial. It makes people react. For example, when he threatened to build his Riviera in Gaza for the first time, we saw the Arabs coming together and actually sit down and think of a future. And I think that is what he was aiming to do. Even though he has rejected that proposal, I think his way of governing is just to create waves and to start making people think about different possibilities.

On the other hand, Trump is creating enemies everywhere, from Mexico to Canada to Europe. Everywhere, people don't like him. So the issue of him threatening Hamas, that he is going to create yet another genocide, at this stage, it just doesn't look like a real threat.

And Dr. Barrett, why, when you have a plan to avoid a further bloodshed, more death, more destruction, and it's being implemented and it's working, why would you want to interrupt it with threats, with a push to extend the first phase to 50 more days? When everything wasn't working smoothly, there was violations, but by the Israeli side, your ally in Tel Aviv was the one that violated the ceasefire since January 19th, every single day, not the Palestinian resistance. How does Donald Trump not understand his role here? His interjection in this process is not benefiting the captives and it is not benefiting the ceasefire.

Kevin Barrett: I don't think that Trump understands the situation much. And so he's basically, as the other guest said, taking orders from people around him who are hardcore Zionists. allied with the coalition that's currently ruling, which is the most extremist genocidal government in the history of the Zionist entity, which is saying something. And so I think that it's clear that Netanyahu does not want the ceasefire process to continue smoothly. He wants to end it because his messianic millenarian maniacs in his cabinet, people like Smotrich and Ben-Gavir, are going to step down if the ceasefire holds. If it continues into its second and third phases and then peace returns, that would mean the end of the extremists' plan to try to murder seven million Palestinians and drive the survivors out. Of course, that's not realistic. But they imagine that their warped version of God is somehow going to help them accomplish this massive genocide of all the Palestinians.

I think Netanyahu is too smart to actually believe that that's going to happen. Or I should say maybe too secular in terms of the way he thinks. But he's stuck, because if he were to allow the ceasefire to continue and to work the way it's supposed to work, then he'll lose his cabinet, which means he'll lose his office and peace will break out. And suddenly there will be investigations of everything from Netanyahu's bribery and corruption scandals to what really happened on October 7th, when Israel invoked the Hannibal Directive and slaughtered hundreds of its own civilians deliberately to prevent them from being taken hostage, according to that Hannibal Directive. And if anyone who's watching this doesn't realize that, they can just look at the pictures of the hundreds of cars that were destroyed by firepower far beyond what any Palestinians had that day. Or look at the pictures of the kibbutzes that were destroyed by massive firepower from tanks. Talk to the survivors there, survivors who were witnesses to the fact that Israeli tanks murdered everybody in these kibbutzes.

So if that investigation happens and it becomes clear that it was actually the Israelis who murdered the majority of the civilians who died on October 7th, and Netanyahu was held responsible for this debacle, then he'll spend the rest of his life in prison on a long list of charges. So he doesn't want a ceasefire, and his people are around Trump telling Trump to say things that will blow up the ceasefire process.

Thank Dr. Barrtett and Sakina Datu. Let's shift now over to the Palestinian resistance or Palestinians who have dealt with these threats of dispossession and violence and the active policy of dispossession and violence for over 80 years. I'm telling Donald Trump, “no, it's not going to work. There was something there was a mechanism in place that was working. It's the only thing that is going to work if you care about the fate of the captives. The Palestinians are undeterred by threats after 80 years. You should know that.”

Sakina Datu: Absolutely. In many ways, Palestinians have already won. From the interviews we do with women in particular in Gaza, they have come to a stage whereby beyond that, beyond the suffering that they have endured, they tell us themselves that they don't feel anything anymore. They have crossed that stage of fear. From now on it can only be resistance, because they've endured so much. You know, a human being…there comes a point in time when there is so much you can take and after that you almost become invincible because there is nothing now that can truly shake you. So when when people reach this kind of a state and this kind of resistance I think they've become very dangerous in a sense. And I think this is where the Palestinians are today.

But it is not just the Palestinians. If you look at the region now, since the fall of Syria…we were questioning “where are the Syrians, where is the resistance?” And today we can see that people are now taking to the streets to start fighting the terrorist government that has been put in place there. And so even though Israel thinks that it has moved and captured some of the cities in Syria, the resistance is beginning to form over there. The same is the situation in Lebanon. I mean, we saw 1.4 million people turn up for the recent funeral recently of Hassan Nasrallah.

So people have reached a point whereby they now don't care, it doesn't matter to them whether you kill them because whether they are alive or dead, for them that's a win. Martyrdom for these people is a win. And when it comes to the U.S. or Israel, I think sometimes they are blinded also by their arrogance. And we know that Allah says this in the Holy Quran that oppressors, there comes a point when they are so blinded by their arrogance, it brings about their own downfall.

And so if you look at, for example, Trump, I think what he's doing is he may be intending to make people just react. But in essence, he is forming this resistance around the world, not just in the Middle East. Israel has lost the PR war in a major way. Even sitting here in the West, the ordinary people have been subjected to all sorts of threats now because they don't want us to speak. Any journalist who talks about the Palestinian issuem any activist, is facing a lot of heat. But that is simply because the message is getting through. The ordinary Western person in these countries has completely understood who the aggressors are and who the oppressed are. It is just the leadership controlled by the Zionist entity that is trying to still be on the side of Israel. But this will implode. Israel itself it is going to implode from within. It is a society that is psychopathic. If you look at the soldiers and the mental capacity and the moral values that they possess…This is a society that cannot continue for a very long time. And I think what Trump is doing is adding to that collapse.

So, yes, of course, in the short term, things will get a lot worse and we may see more and more suffering happening. But this is only a matter of time. And when you go back in history, you see major empires…This is how they collapsed. And now we are seeing the same thing. We are seeing the collapse of the West and its hegemony and also Israel.

Thank you, Sakino. And Dr. Barrett, I'd like to also get your take on a Palestinian resistance undeterred by these threats from the White House. And you mentioned earlier, it could be some kind of bluff by Donald Trump or some kind of strategy to elicit some kind of cooperation, albeit I can't really visualize Trump and Hamas shaking hands and taking photo ops the way we saw Kim Jong-un and Donald Trump. But nevertheless, Palestinians said that they will not entertain these threats from the White House. So if it is a strategy by Donald Trump the Palestinians have said that it's not going to work, and they're not going to concede.

Kevin Barrett: Yeah, I was throwing that possibility out as a kind of a long shot. And unfortunately that's probably not the case. So the Palestinians are really going to have to continue to resist, to stick with the ceasefire plan and to make it clear that they're the ones who are holding to the ceasefire plan’s provisions and that others are violating them, the Zionists are violating them. Trump is basically urging the massive violation of this ceasefire plan.

So it's a case of might versus right. Palestinians are right. They're telling the truth. The powerful Zionist entity backed by the United States is lying through its teeth and committing atrocities, genocide, and violating this solemnly signed agreement. And then the world looks on. And to what extent will the world side with truth and justice? To what extent will it allow itself to be cowed by vicious tyranny? That's the test that we're all undergoing. But as the other guest said, I think the world is getting fed up with the likes of Donald Trump and the way he represents the American empire as a totally out of control, predatory, ugly American stereotype, which is really what it's always been. But they used to hide it better. Well, the mask is off. The Trump monster has come out of the basement and we can all see it. And the world needs to unite against this kind of lunacy and stand with the Palestinians. And their steadfastness and courage is just becoming so legendary. And everybody who cares about truth and justice around the world is in awe of the Palestinians and praying for their success.

And Sakina, these threats, this is a direct quote from Hamas spokesman Hazem Qasim said in a statement, “these threats complicate matters regarding the ceasefire agreement and encourage the occupation to avoid implementing its terms.” How is Israeli leadership, from your point of view, seizing on Trump's, and I like the way Dr. Kevin Barrett put it, ignorance of the Palestinian struggle and decades-old injustices done on to Palestinians by the occupation… How is the occupation seizing this opportunity to have Donald Trump give them cover so they can manipulate everything from Gaza to the occupied West Bank?

Sakina Datu: I mean, we see this very clearly. When Netanyahu was the first foreign leader to visit Netanyahu and as the symbolic gift he gave him that pager to indicate that they want to use him, calling him the best friend Israel has ever had is while he is in office. I don't believe that it is only Netanyahu. I think it is the whole strategy of the Zionist entity, seeing an opportunity of expanding. They've always wanted this expansion of the Greater Israel. And they are mistaken. But they think that this is an opportunity because they have created a genocide. A lot of Palestinians are very weak. We hear some of the politicians, for example, talking about the fact that let's do this now in the month of Ramadan when they are fasting so they are weak. Let's, you know, just to kill them all at this time when they can't fight back. So in their mind, they are thinking that, you know, the resistance is weakened everywhere. But this is far from the truth.

And in terms of the agreement itself, this was an agreement whereby the U.S. was part of it. It was something that was agreed. You know, it just boggles your mind as to how the U.S. and Israel are thinking that the rule of the jungle is absolutely acceptable, that they can agree to things and then just on a whim decide that they are not implementing them at any moment.

I think Netanyahu is counting a bit too much on President Trump. I know that President Trump is very hugely supporting the Zionist entity, not just him, but Elon Musk and everyone around him is a supporter of it. But Donald Trump has shown that he can be quite crazy and he can turn against anybody. And what he's doing at the moment with Europe weakening himself, I think this can backfire badly on not just America, but also on Israel.

And Dr. Kevin Barrett, imagine for a second if the Palestinians concede. They give up the captives, the only leverage they have without going into the second phase of the Gaza ceasefire, where permanent end is basically hammered out to put an end to this 16-month onslaught permanently, and also see a permanent withdrawal of Israeli occupation forces from Gaza. If Palestinians concede and give up their captives, their only leverage now, where does that leave them in the scope of things?

Kevin Barrett: If the US president were somebody that could be trusted when he makes a promise, then that would be a different situation. But we have this seeming madman in the Oval Office, drooling and screaming these crazed genocidal threats, a very, very unstable maniac who obviously cannot be trusted to keep his word. And so it would be complete madness to say, “okay, well, Mr. Trump, you're threatening us that you're going to bring American soldiers into Gaza when the Israelis couldn't even put a dent in Hamas and the other resistance groups over a year and a half of fighting. The American people have no interest in these kinds of wars. And so you really think you're going to send American troops to come and try to do what the Israelis couldn't do?”

So of course the resistance cannot give up under these kinds of threats. And indeed, I don't think anyone expects them to, really. I don't think Trump is uttering these threats because he expects anyone to actually release these captives and give up all their leverage. So... It's kind of ridiculous. In this kind of situation, when one of the parties to the negotiations behaves in this manner, it really is a signal that it's obviously just an attempt to really undermine the whole process. And so all Hamas can do and all the resistance can do is stand by the agreement that they signed, make it clear that they're the ones standing by it and that these other parties are behaving atrociously and not standing by the agreement that they signed.

And the world will look on. And ultimately, however things play out in the short, medium and long terms, I think the world is going to be turning increasingly towards support for the Palestinians and against the American empire headed by this lunatic, and the Zionist entity headed by an even more evil lunatic.

Kevin Barrett: Welcome to False Flag Weekly News, the weekly news show that can't take a week off because there's too much craziness happening that we would miss. I'm Kevin Barrett with Cat McGuire. Good to have you back, Cat.

Cat McGuire: Hey, always good to be here. There's so much to say. Can't wait to get into it.

Yeah, it's gotten so extreme that I can't write satire much anymore. If Trump’s “bearded belly dancers for genocide” video was satire, it was actually fairly brilliant, although in very bad taste. Some people say my satire is in bad taste, but this video of Trump's, of the

bearded belly dancer beach, bleached baby bones beneath,

which is my tip of the hat to the old Anglo-Saxon poets who used to use a lot of alliteration…what can you say about this stuff? Maybe it's superfluous to even bring it up.

Okay, so let's get there…let's talk about the Trump-Vance-Zelinsky brawl in the White House.

Of course, that video is a satire, as the little warning sign says, but you don't have to exaggerate that much to do satire anymore. So, Cat, what do we make of this?

Yeah, I thought they were just a hair's breadth away from going at fisticuffs there. It was verbal fisticuffs, two on one. I think it was an ambush, a planned ambush. Even the press was kind of in on it. Trump set it up in terms of Zelensky’s suit: “Where's your get up? Where's your theatrical costume?” He said “you're still wearing your costume!” Because it's past. It's over.

He's he's he got a better camo outfit on. But even a reporter ribbed him for it: “why don't you have a suit?” That game's over.

I thought Trump was going to say, “why don't you go back to piano playing?”

That would have been a good one. But in a way, the poor guy—you sort of said it in your article—was being given mixed messages. Because here's Trump saying “peace, peace, I want peace.” And yet almost immediately after Zelensky was kicked out of the White House, the Trump administration approved an emergency arms sale to Israel of over $3 billion that included 35,000 plus bombs, thousands of warheads and armed bulldozers. Even the Biden administration had restricted some of this. And even I think what they call the Moab bombs, the 21,000 mother of all bombs. And he completely bypassed congressional review. He claimed it was an emergency for U.S. security. No, it was an emergency for Miriam Adelson that she's going to start reneging on her payment, demanding it back. And so what a liar and a hypocrite. What's Zelensky supposed to think? Wait, where's mine that I've been getting all this time? And oh, “he's for peace.” Yes, some peace.

My article pointed out that obviously Zelensky didn't start the war. The mainstream was right about that, if very little else. It was the U.S., of course, that started the war. And it's a war on Europe as well as on Russia, the purpose being to keep the U.S. number one, keep the dollar number one, force the Europeans to stop buying cheap Russian gas for their industry, make their industry go broke as they have to buy overpriced American LP gas. So, actually, Zelensky really deserves double-digit trillions in reparations from the U.S., and so does Putin, and so does most of the Middle East.

So Trump's nonsense about how “we're throwing our money around at everybody and we're getting such a bad deal” is just rank b******t. So that's what makes this offensive to me. But on the other hand, I kind of like seeing the U.S. empire blowing itself up, which is really what Trump is doing. But the Israeli empire is inheriting it, so who knows whether that’s any better.

So how about the heroism news? Let's get to some positive news this week. Nasrallah's funeral, a million voices for Palestine, this article from Khalil Harb at the Cradle. I watched that here (in Morocco). We had it on TV all day long. It was amazing. Who knows how many people there were, many hundreds of thousands or a million and a half or whatever it was, a big chunk of Lebanon turned out. A lot of people came from other places. I probably should have tried to fly in from Morocco, actually.

Basically, everybody now knows the Resistance is right, that the only hope is armed resistance against the Zionists and by any means necessary. Here's Pepe Escobar's piece about it, which I thought was pretty good.

What was truly amazing was the numbers not counted in the West or acknowledged to be as great as it was. In recent decades, there's been no funeral of this scale relative to the population. Many years before, de Gaulle had a lot of people attending his funeral. But this is really rather unprecedented.

And of course the Israelis had to do their flyover. What they were going to do, threaten mass genocide again to people who came? It was just appalling.

And some people said, well, there were no heads of state, not a single head of state, even from Arab countries. Maybe they were afraid of some kind of assassination that wouldn't have been past Israel to do. But I like how Pepe said it doesn't matter if the president and premier of Lebanon didn't even attend the funeral ceremony, because they're just puppets anyway. So and the main point is that you didn't need any heads of state. The collective people was the voice. You didn't need to hear talking heads.

The heads of state in this region are all cowed, intimidated, bribed, and mostly threatened. So any help they give to the Resistance is kind of under the table. Everybody knows that Qatar and Turkey are massively helping Hamas, of course. And everybody knows that a certain number of the rich people all throughout the region are finding ways to get their money to the Resistance. And that will continue in spades, probably orders of magnitude more than it has in the past. So if you think it was impressive that Hamas was able to build those tunnels and amass those arms and defeat the Israelis in that little area that Israel, with all of its American arms and money, cannot even secure, well, just wait till you see what's next.

Jim Kavanagh of The Polemicist discusses “Trump’s Exemplary Gaza Plan,” as well as ongoing geopolitical upheavals, led by the Trump-instigated US break with Europe and Ukraine.

Excerpt:

Kevin Barrett: So, hey, I want to run an idea by you here, Jim. I just came up with this. So what if every Ramadan, starting with this Ramadan, all of us Muslims decided, instead of looking to our local national authorities to decide when to start the month of Ramadan—which day is the day you start fasting? This is something we do every year. And then sometimes there's controversy. In the United States, different groups of Muslims follow different authorities and they don't always agree which day Ramadan starts and ends.

So how are we going to solve this problem? (How do we get the whole Muslim world to agree, or better yet, to start fasting on the same day?) It's been suggested do whatever the Saudis do. But those of us who aren't very impressed by the Saudis don't like that idea. Another approach is just follow tradition, which is, of course, you go with your local emir or political leader.

But…how could we unite the Muslim world? Here's how you do it. I say we all go by the Palestine moon sighting. In other words,you always go by whoever has the authority in Islam: whenever they say that somebody has sighted the moon in your jurisdiction, that's when you start fasting. Well, let's go by the Palestinians! And specifically, let's have somebody at the Al-Aqsa Mosque look for the moon. And the whole Muslim world will fast the day that they see the moon.

And if we do that, Palestine and Al-Aqsa Mosque in particular becomes the de facto capital of the Islamic Ummah. And suddenly a lot of things would change. So that's my idea. I'm throwing it out here. And if it happens, you can say you were there when it started.

Jim Kavanagh: OK, I'll give you credit for it. I'll write you down as the source of that idea. It's a good idea. It's a... kind of metonymy for the idea that if the Arab and the Muslim world would unite around Palestine, the Palestine issue could be solved with justice.

It’s a way to get some grassroots pressure in that direction. I hope the King of Morocco doesn't get mad at me for saying this, because he's the one who decides when Ramadan starts here, or his people do. But anyway, moving on from there…not that far, though, over to Gaza. You wrote a piece on Trump's exemplary Gaza plan, and it's kind of…painful. Everybody, including me, is saying, this is ridiculous. I mean, this plan is not only evil beyond belief, but it's also unrealistic beyond belief. What is this guy smoking? Is he on a bad PCP trip? But you pointed out that all the other possibilities are highly unlikely, too. So...that's kind of a frightening conundrum, isn't it?

It’s the plan. It is the plan from the beginning. It's Netanyahu's plan. It is happening. “We're going to kill or expel, exterminate or expel most of the Palestinians, if not all of them, just like we did in 1948. We did it before. The world accepted it. We're going to do it again and the world will accept it and the world is accepting it.”

So they're going to do it over a year or over six months or over 20 or 48 years, or 70 years. But that's what they want to do.

Trump’s plan is a kind of gross, grotesque, blatant version of the plan that's actually in motion. And who has the alternative?

Ramadan karim! Cat McGuire and I will discuss Trump-Zelensky and more on False Flag Weekly News later today. -KB

The good news is that an American president finally stood up to a Jew who came to pick America’s pockets. The bad news is that it wasn’t Bibi Netanyahu.

Trump fawns all over Netanyahu, whose genocidal “Jewish state,” the whole raison d’etre of which is to murder millions of non-Jews and expel the survivors, had already pilfered $1.6 trillion by 2002. That was a year after Israel murdered almost 3,000 Americans in New York, attacked the Pentagon, blamed it on Arabs with boxcutters, and pushed clueless Uncle Sam down the road toward spending another $8 trillion on wars for Israel.

Compared to the innumerable pounds of flesh that Israel gouges out of the American body politic, Zelensky’s depredations are chump change. But Trump and Vance, like almost all US politicians except Thomas Massie, are pussies owned by rich, treasonous, genocidal Jewish billionaires. So they’ll pick on a pathetic cokehead penile-piano-playing midget like Zelensky, while kissing the nether regions of ghoulish Netanyahu.

Worse, Trump’s charges that the Ukraine war is Zelensky’s fault, and America has been generously doling out money to Ukraine (so Zelensky should show some gratitude) are rank, nauseating b******t. The US took over Ukraine in a coup in 2014 and remote-controlled it into a war designed to bleed Russia to the last Ukrainian. It isn’t Ukraine that owes the US money. It’s the US that owes Ukraine (and Russia and much of the Middle East) double-digit trillions in war reparations.

The US war on Russia through Ukraine was primarily aimed at looting and subjugating Europe. By cutting off Germany and the rest of Europe from cheap Russian gas, the US delivered a terrible wound to its second-biggest competitor. The EU has a much better educated population than the US—450 million of them compared to 340 million fatAmericans. It should have double the GDP of the US. But the US conquered Europe in World War II and has been squeezing them dry ever since. The US-instigated war on Europe and Russia through Ukraine was just the latest highway robbery by Uncle Scam. Today Europe is a pallid mess, because the US is sucking European blood.

Trump’s putrid claims that the US has been generously throwing its money around, and needs to stop being taken for a ride, are beyond delusional. The Jew-run US empire is running the biggest larceny op in history. It prints toilet paper dollars and exchanges them for real goods and services—at gunpoint. “Globalist” institutions like NATO, IMF, World Bank, ICC, ICJ, the WHO, and various free trade treaties are and have always been barely-disguised instruments of US global domination. Likewise for the soft power propaganda industry tasked with putting a smiley face on the American serial killer. Alhamdullilah, drooling idiot Trump is blowing all of that up!

Trump is right about one thing: The EU needs to terminate NATO and build a military to defend itself. But it needn’t worry about Russia. With a small and shrinking population and gargantuan territory, why would Russia want to expand? Europe needs to deter the US, the world’s leading warmonger, which has all but declared war on Canada and Greenland. Quickly building a few hundred suitcase nukes and smuggling them into US cities would probably be the cheapest deterrent. (And don’t forget to donate a couple of suitcases to each of the leading anti-genocide Resistance nations and groups.)

The somnolent Europeans, minus a handful of die-hard Gaullists, have been too stupid to realize that the Zionist-occupied US is not only the primary threat today under Trump, but has been their worst enemy since World War II, when America conquered and subjugated Europe (and genocided parts of Central Europe and Germany) leaving the continent under humiliating US occupation. But now Trump is giving them a rude awakening.

The Ugly American has always been a paragon of shameless kosher crassness. Trump has ripped off the mask for all the world to see.

Jonathan Revusky refutes Sterling Harwood on the Stephen Hawking replacement hypothesis and Ryan Dawson on the “Arabs hijacked planes on 9/11” hypothesis.

Excerpt:

Kevin Barrett: Let's move on to the theories that you wanted to talk about. The first one being: Was Stephen Hawking replaced? We brought on Sterling Harwood and Sterling and I both said there's a kind of a strong prima facie argument that there's something really wrong with this conventional biography of Stephen Hawking, because he lived way too long after an ALS diagnosis. But then after admitting that, Sterling Harwood claimed that there's not really anything else to support (the replacement theory), and ultimately the idea that he was replaced is equally or more unlikely than some other explanation. So go ahead and explain your take on that issue.

Jonathan Revusky: Well, of course he was replaced, Kevin. I mean, the whole thing is a pretty self-evident hoax. I never really thought that for anybody who read the article and actually made a point of looking at the photographic record—I sent you a link, which is sort of the main Yandex image search for Hawking, didn't I? You just type Stephen Hawking into the Yandex search engine, yandex.com, and then hit the images tab. You can do that in Google. I trust Yandex more nowadays. Google is, I think, more curated. But you get a series of images. I think the first dozen images are the latter-day Hawking, who was fairly obviously an imposter.

But, you know, finally, what is interesting about this Hawking case? I mean, we have all these hoaxes, right? The Boston bombing and some crazy Arab ran over some people at the whatever Christmas market in Germany and some other crazed kid in France cut off his teacher's head and all these kinds of things that are hoaxes. But the funny thing about all of those is they're sort of one-shot deals: They occur on a specific day and then it's over. Even 9/11 left much more of a mess than these other hoaxes, that's for sure. You have all this dust and all the remains of these buildings lying around. But still, but of course, they made a point of clearing off all the junk as fast as possible. So the hoax lasted a certain number of days and was over though the aftermath of the hoax we're still living with.

But the Hawking hoax, assuming it is a hoax, I've investigated enough to say it is, is just…this is a multi-decade hoax, a fairly major production, really, sort of multi-layered with a lot of different weird subplots in it. Hawking, the real Stephen Hawking, almost certainly passed away in the year 1985. You can, I think, pretty much pinpoint it.

Supposedly he got pneumonia in Switzerland, in Geneva someplace and was hospitalized. And they had him on life support, these tubes coming out of him. This is the official story, by the way. What you get on Wikipedia is the official story, in essence. And what's interesting is you can read the official story and there are enough truthful elements in it that you can largely deduce the truth. Like, the claim is that Hawking is in Switzerland in order to visit CERN, the particle accelerator thing they have there somewhere near Geneva…

Ryan Dawson of the Anti-Neocon Report finally joins Truth Jihad Radio, resulting in almost two hours of incendiary conversation! We discuss quite a few of the hottest and most censored topics, including what really happened on 9/11, whether Trump is really dismantling the deep state, where the next big war will be (Ryan thinks Netanyahu will finally get his long-awaited war on Iran) and how fast the US empire’s collapse will take.

Ryan mentions that Epstein’s client list (check out Ryan’s video version) has been public for years—I interviewed Nick Bryant about it in early 2020—but investigative journalism has been missing in action.

Transcript begins:

Kevin Barrett: Welcome to the podcast version of Truth Jihad Radio. I'm Kevin Barrett doing underground radio for the internet age since 2006, although at that point there was probably as much going on on the airwaves, the actual airwaves and the satellites as there was on the internet. And now here we are. It's been well over a couple of decades, since 9/11, and that problem hasn't been solved. But some people think that Donald Trump is going to solve all our problems. He's going to reveal the UFOs. He's going to reveal the Kennedy assassins. He's going to make peace with Russia. And he somehow got a ceasefire that's barely still holding in Gaza. So, according to one view, Trump is the Messiah. On the other view, maybe he's the Antichrist, or worse, because it's all going to go to hell in a handbasket when war breaks out with Iran. And then of course, his guys are targeting China. So who are we going to talk to to try to figure all this stuff out now, when it's not that clear yet precisely where it's all going? How about Ryan Dawson of the Anti-Neocon Report? First time on my show! He's been following the same paths as me for many, many years, so it's good to finally connect. Hey. Welcome, Ryan. How's it going?

Ryan Dawson: Yeah. You know, our paths have crossed a few times. I think not too long ago we were both on the same Press TV interview and I said, oh, Kevin Barrett, I wish we could do a show because I've seen your work before and it's very similar to mine, very similar to my conclusions. And it's surprising it's taken this long for us to finally do a show.

Kevin Barrett: That's true. Part of the reason probably is that I don't spend too much time with anybody else's audio-visual. Partly it's a matter of time. My brain works better scanning text. My brainwaves were warped when I was a little kid and I learned to read too early in life. And so I've got this massive left brain dominance thing going: "send me text."

Ryan Dawson: I still notebook everything down.

Kevin Barrett: Cool. All right, well, we're both relics of another time, and you're kind of the king of anti-neocon 9/11 Truth broadcasting. But you don't write that much...

Ryan Dawson: Yeah, well, I did, but it's just easier to plagiarize when you write stuff. But I don't like the word or the term 9/11 truth because I disagree with 99% of people who use that label. You know how bad that's gotten with the airplane deniers and all that stuff. I just don't like it. But yeah, I'm probably the most reasonable, heterodox take on September 11th for sure.

Kevin Barrett: Well, let's get your take on that. So we both agree that the no planes planes hypothesis about New York is very, very, very likely wrong.

Ryan Dawson: About all of it. There were definitely airplanes. I mean, the Pentagon's just as stupid, because you've got a big airplane sized hole with airplane parts in it, with DNA from all the passengers who were on that plane hitting the building. And they're like, I didn't see it on film, so it didn't exist.

Kevin Barrett: Okay, that's going to piss off some of my audience, but too bad.

Ryan Dawson: Very important to admit there's an airplane, because if you don't have the plane, you don't have the hijackers in particular. Now we fall down mid-air. And if you don't have that, then you don't have a path back to state sponsorship of September 11th from Saudi Arabia. All that disappears when you deny an airplane.

Kevin Barrett: You don't believe that there were actually human hijackers responsible, do you?

Ryan Dawson: I do.

Kevin Barrett: Really?! Okay, well...You've gone a bridge too far for me. And here's here's my reasoning. And you can explain to me why this is wrong. The biggest,most difficult demolitions in the whole history of the demolition industry were set up and would have taken quite some time and an immense amount of money, expertise and so on, as well as all the expertise required to make it secret. So the demolition of the World Trade Center was an amazing engineering project. Those demolitions, not just the three famous buildings, the Towers and Building Seven. So they had invested a tremendous amount of effort to prepare for these spectacular demolitions that were going to be the key part of the 9/11 psyop. They had to be 100% sure that planes were going to hit those buildings, or at least convince everybody that planes hit the buildings. That's your excuse for what happened to those buildings. If the planes miss or there are no plane strikes, you're stuck holding the bag and you've got a really major problem on your hands. Therefore, since you have to be 100% or at least 99.99 % sure there will be actual plane strikes on those buildings, you're going to have to find a better way to do that than to find human pilots and hijackers who are going to be capable of taking control of a plane and slamming it into those buildings in such a way that there's a big enough apparent fireball soyou can somehow hypnotize everybody into believing that the plane crashes have something to do with your demolitions.

So given that, I can say with 100% certainty, they had to have use autopilot to get those planes into those buildings, because there's no way they could ever have the required degree of confidence in any human pilots. And then once we look at the details, the speeds and the trajectories and so on, it becomes even more clear that not even the world's best pilots could probably do that more than 50% of the time, even if they wanted to. And if you're arranging this event, you could never be sure that they would decide that they wanted to at the last minute, could you? So therefore, we are 100% sure those planes were not flown by humans, and if they weren't, what makes us think the other ones were?

Ryan Dawson: That's putting the cart before the horse. Assuming there's all this demolition and all this other jazz and who you mean by they. You can have hijackers and have it assisted by some sort of automation, you know, assisting them, but you have to have hijackers on the planes, because if you don't have a person there, at least as a pretext. So you can say, hey, they did it all by themselves. The passengers on the plane are going. Why is the plane just turning around mid-air like flying by itself? They could get on the earphones and say, hey, the plane is out of control or something. That's not what happened. There were hijackers there. We have long records of them going to flight schools. We have. This is stuff they had to bury and redact from their own FBI reports to hide state collusion with September 11th terrorists.

Celia Farber , the journalist who did most to expose Fauci & co.’s murderous AIDS hoax, discusses her new book (co-authored with Dr. James Thorp) Sacrifice: How the Deadliest Vaccine in History Targeted the Most Vulnerable. Blurb:

Sacrifice documents the true story of Dr. James Thorp, a respected doctor of maternal fetal medicine, who in 2020, finds his entire profession has lost its mind, as well as its soul. Stunned to find his colleagues take the bribe money, drink the Kool-Aid, and push the COVID-19 shots, Thorp is one of the few Ob-Gyns to bear witness and broadcast the multitude of pregnancy complications including miscarriages, stillbirths, and many other tragic outcomes resulting from the shots.

One of the few doctors from the maternal-fetal medicine realm who publicly protested the Covid shots as directly deadly to his patients—unborn babies—Thorp witnessed the carnage on a daily basis firsthand, documented it, published papers, and spoke up on countless media platforms, and in Senate hearings in Washington, DC. He was terminated, without any cause, and went on to campaign around the country to get the truth out.

From our interview:

There are various very creepy and very revealing US government COVID websites. And I discovered those websites in the process of working on this book with Dr. James Thorpe. As we were working on the book, he and his wife, Maggie, who is an attorney, did these freedom of information requests and found the smoking gun about what kind of money and when and how went to the agencies that were put in place to protect pregnant American women to set the standard of what's safe and what isn't for pregnant American women: The American Board of Gynecology, ABOG, the ACOG, and the Society of Maternal and Fetal Medicine. Those are the big three.

And it's in the billions. And, like, you see a hockey stick. They got not much funding….And then the hockey stick actually starts just before 2020. Sometimes it starts in 2019. But it's vertical takeoff. And suddenly they're soaking in tens of billions. And the gold standard, as Dr. Thorpe often says, for pregnancy, which... I'm not sure I agree that was the gold standard, but ostensibly the gold standard was no untested substance to be given to any pregnant women ever, ever, ever. No untested substance. And it could be something that people consider harmless: “oh, but that's a cough drop.” It doesn't matter if it's on test.

So this was just washed away like those film clips of a tsunami or a typhoon, and it just takes out the whole marina, right? Gone. And these were contracts, let's be clear. Scripts came down. And the contracts demanded that the institutions and that all of the employees browbeat their patients with the script.

And this is what's so tragic because the last person a pregnant woman would think might be taking money to gaslight and lie to her would be her OBGYN. That's a trusted relationship. So it really can't get more evil than what they did. It's just breathtaking.

And Dr. Thorpe is one of the only doctors who just stood up and essentially screamed bloody murder to what was happening all around him. I don't know the number of how many tens of thousands of OBGYNs there are in the country. Many of them came to him quietly, sub rosa, behind the scenes. He has become the voice for the truth about what happened to pregnant women and their babies.

Mainstream journalists say crazy things. Most of their madness is banal, consisting of shallow platitudes endorsing GoodThink. But sometimes they one-up themselves, exhibiting a genius for craziness that leads one to wonder: What was that about?!

Such a moment came when CBS commentator Margaret Brennan blamed the Holocaust on free speech. JD Vance correctly diagnosed Brennan’s remark as mad. But Freud wasn’t the first to note that genius is to madness near allied. That is, certain symptoms of apparent madness imply rich tapestries of meaning, some or most of which the mad person (or poet or dreamer, according to Freud) does not consciously grasp.

Brennan’s brilliantly mad remark was symptomatic of the decadence of today’s pseudo-liberal elite. Many decades ago, back when liberals genuinely believed in liberalism,* it was taken for granted that “the Holocaust” and “free speech” were antagonistic polar opposites. Everyone understood, or professed to understand, that Hitler’s regime had destroyed the moral compass of its society by imposing a one-size-fits-all totalitarianism that brooked no dissent. Martin Niemöller’s famous line about how “first they came for the socialists and I did not speak out because I was not a socialist” summarized the accepted wisdom that the drunk-on-censorship Nazis crushed people’s free expression group-by-group. The implication of Niemöller’s truism was that widespread failure to speak out, and consequent loss of free speech, enabled the horrors of Hitler’s regime, including the war it supposedly caused and the extermination of six million Jews (mostly in gas chambers) that it supposedly perpetrated. In short, the destruction of free speech—not free speech—caused the Holocaust.

So what led Brennan to madly flaunt her self-styled liberal identity by expressing the precise opposite of the classical liberal understanding of “the Holocaust” and its relation to free speech?

The answer, of course, is that she is afraid of something. “The Holocaust” represents something so fearful she cannot allow herself to think about it, or even to think at all. This thought-stopping magic of “the Holocaust,” the secret to its power, is related to its incomparability. Prior to the rise of the Holocaust religion, in which the Jews replace Jesus, the gas chambers replace the cross, and Israel replaces the resurrection, only God was viewed as incomparable. (The Qur’an sums up its last word on theology as Walam yakun lahu kufuwan ahad, “and there is none like unto Him,” and all other monotheisms agree.) But today it is the one-and-only Holy Holocaust that is held to be incomparable, while all other massacres and genocides, including the one happening now in Palestine, are mere trifles. Indeed, those dare to compare the Holocaust to anything else are accused of blasphemy and heresy. For example, in many countries, those who meet the IHRA Working Definition of Antisemitism by “drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis” are subject to civil and criminal prosecution and imprisonment. (I hate to even imagine what they’ll do to those of us who think the comparison may be unfair to Nazis!)

So the First Commandment of today’s de facto Western state religion is: Don’t even think about the Holocaust! And that explains the subconscious fear that Brennan expressed by absurdly linking the Incomparable Holy Holocaust to free speech. What she is really afraid of is that freedom of speech, a prerequisite for freedom of thought, could lead people to think freely and critically about the Holocaust. Were that to happen, the Holocaust would be reduced from its current status as an official state religion to “just another historical episode to debate and critique.” And once people were allowed to freely debate and critique the Holocaust narrative, instead of being imprisoned for doing so, they might find something so hideously blasphemous, so horrifically sacrilegious, that…that…well, it’s too horrible to even consider!

So to prevent people from speaking and thinking freely about the Holocaust, Brennan implies, we need a free speech holocaust. That is, we must burn the Western liberal Enlightenment tradition of free speech to the ground in a kind of sacrificial lynching. (The root meaning of holocaust is “fiery sacrifice.”)

Even as Brennan’s Pseudoliberal Party pushes slaughtering free speech on the Holocaust altar and burning it to ashes, JD Vance’s Trumpist Party professes to push back. Indeed, Vance effectively blasphemed against the high priests of German GoodThink by endorsing the anathemized AFD and its right to participate, unhindered by “firewalls,” in the political conversation. That was the infraction that triggered Brennan’s unhinged blame-free-speech-for-the-Holocaust blurt-out.

But are the Trumpists really the free speech party? As E. Michael Jones and I observed on False Flag Weekly News, the vast majority of anti-free-speech activity in the West amounts to attempts to protect Jews and Israel. From academics like me, Anthony Hall, Kees van der Pijl, Joy Karega, William Woodward, and others who have exposed 9/11 as a neocon-Zionist fraud and been raked over the coals for it, to Steven Sulaita, Dr. Marc Lamont Hill, and now an ever-growing list of professors fired for opposing Israel’s genocide, to the long list of politicians murdered or ejected from politics** by the Zionists, to the vast majority of censorship of books, mainstream media, and social media, it’s clear that somewhere between 90% and 99.9% of the ever-accelerating crimes against free speech that have annihilated classical liberalism in the West have Jewish-Zionist fingerprints all over them. And the Trumpist party, the party of JD Vance, is even more rabid in its persecution of critics of Israel’s genocide than Margaret Brennan’s openly anti-free-speech party is.

So the fear that Margaret Brennan unconsciously expressed—that the truth will harm the Jews—appears to be shared by JD Vance, who not only approves of the purges of anti-genocide students and professors, but also supports persecuting and deporting the Jews’ enemies, namely people from the Global South and especially Muslims, from Europe. Vance’s support for AFD is obviously not about freedom and democracy. If he cared about that, he would demand that Germany stop imprisoning historians who question Holocaust orthodoxy. Instead, Vance and his rightwing Jewish owners want to ethnically cleanse Europe to get rid of people whose cultural environment hasn’t been steeped in pro-Jew/pro-genocide indoctrination…people from countries where almost all intellectuals are Holocaust revisionists. Like Margaret Brennan, Vance is an abject slave of Jewish power and a rabid enemy of free speech. Vance and Brennan are just two sides of the same genocidal Judeo-fascist coin.

Why does the whole Jewish-owned Western ruling elite, from the Pseudoliberal Party to the Trumpist Party, feel compelled to burn free speech to the ground? Obviously their imperative is: “Protect the Jews”…from the likely consequences of genuine free speech in the internet age. If we allow genuine freedom of speech (which obviously includes freedom of reach) to flourish in the digital commons, the Jews fear that people will learn:

*That the Holocaust narrative has been, at minimum, greatly exaggerated.

*That the Protocols of the Elders of Zion are hardly unrealistic.

*That highly unscrupulous Jewish bankers seized partial control of the West two centuries ago and have been steadily increasing their power ever since.

*That the state of Israel is inherently genocidal, and that its creators were the worst terrorists in human history.

*That Israel killed the Kennedys (among many other political leaders).

*That Israel did 9/11.

*And, of course, that Jewish tribalists have all but destroyed the West’s enlightenment heritage including free speech.

If and when people learn these things, they are likely to grow very angry at Jews in general, and rich powerful Jews in particular…like the ones who own and operate the media and political space in which Brennon, Vance, and all other mainstreamers operate. So Margaret Brennon (and JD Vance) aren’t concerned with the alleged 1940s Holocaust so much as they are worried about free speech and free inquiry leading to a new Holocaust. In other words, the terror that afflicts Brennon is an example of what Gilad Atzmon calls “pre-traumatic stress syndrome.”

So according to the Uniparty, we must mount a gigantic sacrifice, a scorched-earth-style burnt offering, and reduce freedom of thought and expression to ashes, in order to stop the next Holocaust (and enable the genocide of Palestine). And they are planning to do it by technocratic means, Peter Thiel style, following Elon Musk’s mantra “freedom of speech but not freedom of reach.” That is, they will use AI to ensure that the only people who read this article, and others like it, are people who have already been “contaminated by anti-Semitic ideas.” Anything that threatens to go viral and spread to the larger population of blue-pilled newbies-and-normies will be quarantined by digital firewalls. And those firewalls, unlike the ones erected against the “expel-the-Jews’-enemies” AFD in Germany, will be supported by the likes of JD Vance. (Feel free to try to defeat the firewalls by forwarding this essay to all and sundry!)

Perhaps the emerging anti-free-speech philosemitic AI will be none other than…the Antichrist. (The Jews, after all, are the anti-Christ party.) Call it The Beast. If the current rulers of the West have their way, all of humanity will be forced to sacrifice its freedom to The Beast, which will be housed, symbolically if not literally, in a blood sacrifice temple in Occupied Jerusalem, the capital of the Genocided Holy Land. In the midst of this great digital book-burning, this holocaust-of-words accelerating alongside the genocide of Palestine (the perpetrators of both crimes being identical) perhaps Jesus and The Mahdi will arise to challenge The Beast on behalf of God and humanity, and of simple truth and justice. If the Mahdi represents military resistance to The Beast, Jesus represents forgiveness—including a certain forgoing of the natural desire for vengeance.

May Jesus and the Mahdi defeat the Zionist Antichrist and inaugurate an epoch of truth and justice on Earth, amen.

*Liberals, by definition, are people who hold freedom as their highest value. They believe that given the freedom to discuss and critique each others’ ideas without fear or favor, human beings will arrive at ever-better approximations of the truth, from whence they will move towards ever-better approximations of justice. During the heyday of American liberalism, it was taken for granted that people could say whatever they wanted, as long as it wasn’t legally obscene, defamatory, part of a criminal conspiracy, or inciting violence. Speech construed as political got the strongest protection.

**Those ejected from politics by the Zionists include J. William Fulbright, James Abourezk, Paul Findley, Jim Traficant, Cynthia McKinney, Jamaal Bowman, and Andy Levin, among many others.

Israel has killed almost 100 innocent civilians, committing over 300 ceasefire violations, since the truce went into effect. They lie incessantly about their false-flag bus bombings, "beheaded babies," "babies killed with bare hands"…giving pathological liars a bad name.

Transcript of Press TV interview:

The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas has named the six Israeli captives due to be released on Saturday. Israel is also expected to release more than 600 Palestinian abductees in return. The exchange is the final one under the first phase of a ceasefire agreement signed just over a month ago. On Thursday, Hamas handed over the remaining two Israeli captives who were killed in Israel's bombings of the Gaza Strip. Israel claimed that the body of one of the captives wasn't actually hers, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu threatening to make Hamas pay. The resistance group rejected the threats as a PR stunt. Hamas said it's investigating the Israeli claim, adding that there's the possibility of the bodies due to Israeli airstrikes on the location where the captives were being held. The head of the government media office in Gaza says Israel has violated the ceasefire agreement with Hamas over 350 times. In a statement, Ismail al-Tawwapt has said the Israeli violations included direct shootings at Palestinian civilians and airstrikes by fighter jets and drones. Since the start of the ceasefire agreement, Israel has killed nearly 100 Palestinians and injured hundreds of others. The confirmed death toll from the Israeli genocide in Gaza has surpassed 48,300 people, mostly women and children. Israel has been hampering the entry of humanitarian aid, including shelters and medical necessities, even after the ceasefire agreement. Well, joining us now from Morocco, we have editor of Veterans Today, Mr. Kevin Barrett. Mr. Barrett, first of all, share with us your views on the constant violation of the ceasefire by the Israeli regime, which has come to be known as a common practice by the Israelis.

Yeah, Israel's notorious for this kind of lawless behavior. And the reason they get away with it is the skewed media coverage in the West. The media are dominated by the sympathizers, co-religionists and co-ethnicists of the state of Israel, who are loyal to the state of Israel, in many cases more loyal than they are to their own countries. They dominate the media of Western nations and give cover to the Zionists as they violate the ceasefire hundreds of times with impunity, while the Western media reports headlines on “Hamas may have returned the wrong body,” or “buses are blowing up in Tel Aviv,” empty buses blowing up in parking lots in Tel Aviv. Obviously, there being no Palestinian faction that would have any motivation to do anything like that, the only people that would have any motivation for blowing up empty buses and parking lots in Tel Aviv would be Netanyahu and the extremists in his cabinet who want excuses to continue the massacre, the genocide, and to continue violating the ceasefire. And then the Western media just dutifully reports this stuff as if that somehow Israel is experiencing terrorism, when Israel is blowing up its own empty buses in the parking lot as a blatant, transparent, false flag publicity stunt.

You know, I'm really tired of the Western media being complicit for genocide. And if we ever have real war crimes trials, the owners and operators of the Western media need to be put on trial for their lives, for broadcasting non-stop genocide propaganda.

And Mr. Barrett, if I'm correct, tomorrow marks the final stage of the first phase of the ceasefire agreement. After that, it's scheduled to have medical necessities, humanitarian aid, shelters, to be allowed in to Gaza. What is being allowed in right now has been described as just a drop in the ocean of what the Gazans need. Do you think that the Israelis will also not be holding up there under the bargain when the time comes for the allowing of humanitarian aid to come into Gaza?

Well, even in the first phase, they were supposed to allow humanitarian aid in, and they did not meet their commitments. And their failure to allow the trucks in that they were supposed to allow in was the reason why Hamas briefly talked about delaying the release of some of the captives. And then, of course, once again, the Western media covered for the Zionist genocide perpetrators by not reporting honestly what was going on.

And so we can't trust the Zionists to keep their end of the bargain. There are those in the Zionist entity who want to flee forward into a wider and bigger war and a bigger genocide. And indeed, they've moved their genocide from Gaza, where to some extent they're still perpetrating it, but they've moved the focus to the West Bank now. And the extremist faction there, which unfortunately is not marginalized—it's central to the power structure in occupied Palestine—they want more. They don't want to abide by the ceasefire. And unfortunately, they can get away with violating it because the Western institutions, starting with the media. won't hold them accountable by informing the people of the Western countries what's really going on. And those who are paying attention know, but the majority of people are still being grossly misinformed. So no, I don't expect the Zionists to abide by this ceasefire. Whether they completely blow it up and go back to wholesale genocide and utter annihilation of the civilian population of Gaza—I certainly hope and pray that they don't.

Thanks a lot, Kevin Barrett, Editor of Veterans Today, joining us from Saadia.

Salim Mansur discusses his new article: “What Is the Essential Requirement for a Peacemaker? Remove the beam out of one’s eye, as Jesus commands.” In it he notes: “The Ukraine war will end sooner than later, if not it will greatly impede Trump’s ‘Make America Great Again’ domestic agenda. But this is not the case with the Gaza genocide of Palestinians by Israelis and, consequently, there is no end on the horizon for the conflict in West Asia.”

Salim Mansur is a Professor Emeritus of Political Science at the University of Toronto. He has published many books and academic articles, as well as numerous op-eds in several of Canada’s leading mainstream newspapers.

Excerpt from the interview:

Your latest piece on what is the essential requirement for a peacemaker—remove the beam out of one's eye as Jesus commands—went to the heart of the issue a lot of people are talking about with Trump. Is he going to make peace, which is possibly what it looks like in Ukraine, or is he going to preside over World War III in West Asia as he hands everything on a silver platter to Netanyahu and his messianic, millenarian, lunatic cabinet? That's the big question, isn't it?

It's a very big question, Kevin. But it not only depends on Netanyahu and the Zionists in Israel, the Israeli extremists, fascists, whatever we want to call them, which is appropriate. But it also greatly depends upon that 80 million Christian Zionists in America. I think they have got the American Republic, whatever remains of it, by the throat.
