Benjamin Netanyahu and his crew are fighting the most racist election in Israeli history. His opponent Gadi Eizenkot will normalise an illegal occupation, while his military record is chilling. I write for Zeteo:

What most people already understand, even without the economic terminology, is that firms like BlackRock operate less like investors and more like modern feudal landlords.
These vultures buy essential infrastructure,water networks, ports, energy grids, data centres, and other public necessities, often using vast amounts of borrowed money and paying prices that ordinary market participants cannot match.
Once the acquisition is complete, the debt is pushed onto the acquired company itself.
The result is simple: the public start paying.
Consumers repay that debt through higher water bills, rising energy prices, increased fees, and declining service quality.
The infrastructure becomes a real cash-extraction machine.
Profits flow upward to the shareholders and executives, while the financial burden flows downward to ordinary households.
When the model inevitably breaks down, the consequences are socialised. Communities are left with crumbling infrastructure, polluted rivers, and failing services.
Thames Water in the United Kingdom with a £14 billion debt mountain and repeated sewage scandals is a stark example of what happens when financial engineering takes precedence over public stewardship.
The executives who loaded the company with debt have already collected their bonuses.
The investors have already taken their returns.
And when the system finally reaches breaking point, taxpayers are expected to pick up the bill.
🔴Privatise the gains.
🔴Socialise the losses.
That is the business model........

Difficult to see how China could agree to this, also since it is clear to them that the next SG should come from Latin America/Carib. Not a European following a European. wsj.com/opinion/viktor-orban…

عملياً، هذا يؤكد أن تقديري كان صحيحاً. نتنياهو كان عازماً على توجيه ضربة عسكرية إلى إيران قبل الانتخابات الإسرائيلية، وقد انتقل بالفعل إلى إصدار التوجيهات العسكرية لتنفيذ تحرك قد يشعل مواجهة مباشرة مع إيران. ولكن ما يبدو أنه يعطّل هذه الضربة الآن هو اعتراض قيادة الجيش الإسرائيلي، وعلى رأسها رئيس الأركان إيال زامير، الذي امتنع عن المضي في تنفيذ التوجيه قبل الحصول على موافقات قانونية وأوامر رسمية موقّعة من القيادة السياسية.
هذا تطور لم أتوقعه بصراحة، رغم اطلاعي الواسع على تاريخ إسرائيل. فهذا التاريخ حافل بالصراعات والخلافات بين المؤسسة العسكرية والقيادة السياسية، ولكن أن يصل الخلاف إلى حد امتناع رئيس هيئة الأركان عن تنفيذ توجيه عسكري صادر عن القيادة السياسية، فهذه سابقة مهمة بكل المعايير.
في العبرية هناك مصطلح يُسمّى «סירוב פקודה»، أي رفض تنفيذ الأوامر العسكرية. والمادة 122 من قانون القضاء العسكري الإسرائيلي لعام 1955 تعاقب على الرفض المتعمّد لأمر صادر عن قائد عسكري بالسجن لمدة تصل إلى 3 سنوات. أما خضوع رئيس الأركان للسلطة السياسية، فهو منصوص عليه صراحة في المادتين 2 و3 من القانون الأساسي الإسرائيلي: الجيش، الذي يضع الجيش تحت سلطة الحكومة ويجعل رئيس الأركان خاضعاً لها ولوزير الدفاع.
وهنا تكمن المفاجأة التي لم أتوقعها، وربما لم يتوقعها كثيرون غيري. كنت أراقب احتمالات اندلاع الحرب مع إيران، وأضع في حساباتي الاعتبارات العسكرية والسياسية والانتخابية، ولكنني لم أضع في حساباتي احتمال أن يكون الجيش الإسرائيلي نفسه هو الذي يعترض طريق نتنياهو ويعطّل قراره.
ولكن، إلى أي مدى يمكن أن يصل هذا الصدام بين نتنياهو وقيادة الجيش الإسرائيلي؟ وهل نحن أمام خلاف عسكري وسياسي عابر، أم بداية شرخ عميق داخل مؤسسات الحكم في إسرائيل، قد تكون له تداعيات غير مسبوقة؟
لا اعرف الجواب ولكن بتقديري نتنياهو عالق في مشكلة كبيرة قد تعيق قدرته فعلاً على ضرب إيران.
خبر جنوني بكل المقاييس، وربما سابقة هي الأولى من نوعها في تاريخ إسرائيل!
القناة 12 الإسرائيلية تسمح الآن بنشر خبر مفاده أن رئيس الأركان إيال زامير تلقّى أمراً مباشراً من نتنياهو بشن حملة عسكرية على إيران، لكنه رفض تنفيذ الأمر!
هذا تطور خطير للغاية، يكشف عن انقسام حاد بين المؤسسة العسكرية والأمنية والقيادة السياسية في إسرائيل. وربما للمرة الأولى في تاريخها، يصل الخلاف إلى حد تمرد رئيس الأركان على أوامر رئيس الحكومة بصورة مباشرة!
وربما يكون السبب أن زامير وقيادة الجيش توصّلوا إلى قناعة بأن نتنياهو يريد شن حرب على إيران لخدمة مصالحه الانتخابية، لا لاعتبارات عسكرية أو أمنية.
هذه ضربة هائلة لنتنياهو، وقد تُحدث شرخاً غير مسبوق داخل مؤسسات الدولة الإسرائيلية، بل وربما تنذر بانقلاب عسكري على نتنياهو نفسه.
أنا لا أبالغ هنا. ما يحدث، إن صحّت هذه التفاصيل، قد يكون من أخطر الأزمات بين الجيش والقيادة السياسية منذ تأسيس إسرائيل.

NON VOGLIONO LA PACE. VOGLIONO LA GUERRA PRIMA DI CADERE.
Mia riflessione personale
dura e diretta.
Ci raccontano da tre anni che la Russia vuole invadere l'Europa.
È una balla colossale.
Una menzogna per tenerci buoni mentre ci rovinano.
La verità, detta da un economista americano.
- Michael Hudson - e non da un "filo-putiniano", è l'opposto.
La Russia non vuole niente da noi.
Vuole solo che la lasciamo in pace.
Ha provato per 30 anni a diventare europea.
E poi ha capito cos'è diventata l'Europa.
Una colonia finanziaria dell'America.
Un'economia morta, che odia i lavoratori.
Un posto non più democratico, che ha tradito tutto quello che era l'Illuminismo.
E ha detto: lasciateci stare.
Non vogliamo più avere niente a che fare con voi.
Chi è allora che cerca lo scontro?
Guardate la mappa.
Non è la Russia che si avvicina alla NATO.
È la NATO che si è piazzata sotto le finestre di casa sua.
Ora vogliono trasformare il Mar Baltico in un lago NATO.
Vogliono bloccare le petroliere russe.
Vogliono strangolare Kaliningrad, che per loro è come la Crimea: un pezzo di Russia.
Hanno già iniziato a sequestrare navi.
Quella è pirateria.
Quella è una dichiarazione di guerra.
Perché lo fanno?
Perché lo sanno.
Lo sanno che tra due anni non ci saranno più.
Macron in Francia è finito.
Il governo in Germania è finito.
In Inghilterra sono finiti.
Sanno che gli elettori li spazzeranno via.
E allora pensano: questa è la nostra ultima occasione.
L'ultima occasione per fare la guerra grossa. Per legarci per sempre agli USA. Per far saltare tutto prima di affondare.
Siamo in mano a gente disperata.
E la gente disperata è pericolosissima.
Non hanno il coraggio di dirvi che ci stanno portando a una guerra breve e sanguinosissima, forse anche nucleare, per salvare la loro poltrona.
La Russia continua a mandare aerei solo per scortare le sue navi, per non farsi rubare il petrolio che vuole vendere all'Africa e al Sud America, non a noi.
Loro continuano a provocare.
Il muro di Berlino è caduto 35 anni fa.
Oggi ne stanno costruendo uno nuovo, molto più alto, per tenerci separati dalla Russia per sempre. Per farci credere che il nemico sia a Mosca, quando chi ci sta affamando è a Bruxelles, a Parigi, a Berlino.
Non ci vogliono salvare dalla Russia.
Ci vogliono usare come carne da cannone per non perdere il potere.

Peter Oborne on the West Bank: "It is a horrific, racist project to drive out Palestinians... 65 of [the Bedouins'] communities have been destroyed in the last three years... The fact that we, the democratic, human rights-respecting West, is tolerating this horror is extraordinary."

“Zionist” is not a race. Zionism is a political ideology that seeks to establish and maintain an ethnostate in Palestine. Its realisation has resulted ethnic cleansing, apartheid and now genocide. Genocide is racism in its most extreme form. Your upside down world won’t last.
At our October Plenary Meeting, The Board of Deputies of British Jews has overwhelmingly voted to declare that the Green Party of England and Wales, by having adopted an antisemitic platform, has become a racist party.

I've been revisiting @UKLabour's 2024 manifesto, and some of the commitments are extraordinary given where we are today...
- Defend the international rule of law.
- Uphold international law in Gaza.
- Recognise Palestinian statehood as an inalienable right.
- Reject new oil and gas exploration because it worsens the climate crisis.
These weren't demands from protesters.
THEY WERE LABOUR'S OWN PROMISES!
The government shouldn't need reminding what the principles are. It already wrote them down and commited to them!
The question is why those principles become negotiable the moment defending them carries a political cost.

Huge news for Latin America, and the world:
Lula da Silva has won reelection in Brazil, despite blatant electoral meddling by the US.
Brazil is the biggest country in Latin America, a major geopolitical power, and a founding member of BRICS.
The US empire wanted to put back in power the corrupt, far-right Bolsonaro dynasty, which is extremely pro-US and pro-Israel.
The Bolsonaros vowed to minimize Brazil's role in BRICS, serve the interests of Brazilian oligarchs and big landlords at the expense of the working class, uphold the global US dollar system, and let US corporations plunder Brazil's natural resources -- especially its rare earths and critical minerals, which the US wants to reduce its reliance on China.
In contrast, Lula comes from a poor family and has always put the interests of the working class first. He has a non-aligned foreign policy, 100% supports Palestine, strongly believes in the importance of Global South integration and cooperation, and was a co-founder of BRICS.
Lula will deepen Brazil's partnership with China and the rest of the Global South. He will also continue to push for the transformation of the international financial system and will challenge the global dominance of the US dollar, which infuriates Washington.

How embarrassing for you @ShabanaMahmood the stench of your shame will live on forever. I hope the £$ were worth it.
Proof of how power corrupts! Send them all to the Hague!
Shabana Mahmood disgracefully equates neo-Nazi skinheads with pensioners protesting against Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
She claims to be part of the pro-Palestinian movement. She is nothing of the sort. She is complicit in the genocide of the Palestinian people.
Shame on her. Hope the ministerial car was worth it.
