The second largest weapons supplier to Israel sends humanitarian help to the country Israel is destroying...
I know it's the first of April but you just can't make this 💩 up...
China's prestigious Army Honor Guard Battalion march to their barracks in "Casual" clothing along the walls of the forbidden city in Beijing.
The men are all 188 cm (6'2") in height. And they march around 10,000 km a year training.
"Empires do not fall in a single catastrophic defeat, but through the accumulation of moments where they fail to impose their will. After the end of the cold war, America failed to do that fully in Iraq. It suffered a fiasco in Afghanistan, and now it is risking to have an even bigger failure in Iran.
This could be America’s Suez moment.
And just as in 1956, the most important audience is not the one on the battlefield.

"It’s not a conspiracy theory: Israel’s leader is openly admitting what people were previously labeled anti-Semitic for claiming — that Israel wants to rule the world. Netanyahu said it outright in a speech given this week. He stated that Israel’s goal is not just to become a regional power, but to become a global superpower."
Yesterday I could watch the movie 'Palestine 36'. I can highly recommend it.
The film recounts the 1936–1939 Arab revolt against British colonial rule in Palestine during the Mandate period.

There is also a Chris Hedges interview with the filmmaker Annemarie Jacir.
"The only apartheid state, I mean democracy in the Middle East has introduced the death penalty for Palestinians, but not Israelis. The Knesset passed the new law in a 62-48 vote which shows the majority of Israel’s parliament is aligned with Itamir Ben Gvir, the guy we’ve spent forever pretending is an extreme outlier. Even the AI avatar of Netanyahu voted in favour of the bill."
