The Western Pitch Exposed by Sachs & Mearsheimer

Matt Gable  ….. WATCH    https://www.youtube.com/live/VkS9zukrCFA?si=Un2HLPdhlqRVMLF5

Jeffrey Sachs takes a similar view to mine about the Jolani and General Petraeus meeting at the UN a few days ago. Fast track in this interview to 24’50 and the phrase beginning,  “Switching gears before we go ..” we see the same film clip at the UN of Petraeus expressing deep concern for the hand-chopping head-chopping terrorist Jolani followed by Sach’s readings of Petraeus and Syria.

The Israeli Concept of “Human Animals” in Palestine

Gamini  Seneviratne

Appropriate though it is, the words …  “Human Animals” …  in the heading do not refer to those who are slaughtering the human beings resident in Gaza and the West Bank. They are the ones used by the Zionist invaders to refer to the people of Palestine.

Indeed, the term “human” is used by them and their fellow criminals in the Western world in this context only as an adjunct to ‘shields” employed by Hamas. Incidentally, and there are many such features ‘incidental’ to the completely false Zionist-Euro-American narratives, no evidence has been forthcoming of Hamas shielding itself behind anyone, least of all the people they represent and protect.

Transforming Gaza …… “The Great Trust”

Outback Aussie

The Great Trust is a 38-page document setting out plans to turn Gaza into a grand American Riveria by constructing over the bones and bodies of Palestinians — hotels, casinos, bordellos, condominiums, golf courses, and million-dollar seaside properties.  America has no legal basis for taking control of Gaza but they want to do it anyway which is why the US and the West support the genocide in Gaza, ethnic cleansing, and if need be the extermination of all Palestinians in Gaza.

The Insidious Power-Brokers Aligned behind Israel in Today’s World

APOYI-APOYI 

The title and the highlights in this presentation have been  imposed by the Editor of Thuppahi –who receives The AUSTRALIAN and is aware of its heavy bias. Apoyi-Apoyi, incidentally, is a  White man

SEE …. https://youtu.be/dpkD0uGAE90?si=HroPfWPxaM3K1-1t…… Here, Malaysia’s PM Anwar Ibrahim describes Netanyahu as “truly insane and inhumane” and “sick.” He said he is 73 years old and in his lifetime has never seen such appalling inhumanity as is now occuring by Israel in Gaza. Very young children are killed as Netanyahu claims they too are Hamas.

Israel’s NAZI Terror in Palestine … with US & European Backing

Bishop Duleep de Chickera in Colombo, in an  article  in  GROUNDVIEWS, 31 July  2025, entitled “From Toe Hold to Freehold: Zionist Occupation Strategies”

GV NOTE  INTRODUCING THE AUTHOR : In 2001 Duleep De Chickera was ordained the 14th Anglican Bishop of Colombo. Educated at Royal College, Colombo and representing the college at 1st XV Rugby, he gained his training for the ministry at the Theological College of Lanka in Pilimathalawa, earning a B.Th thereafter earning a M.Sc. from Keble College, Oxford.  He has served as chaplain and then as the sub-warden of S. Thomas’ College, Mt Lavinia. And in 2008 was accorded the honour of preaching a key sermon at the Lambeth Conference in the presence of 650 Bishops from around the world.

When US President Donald Trump arrogantly suggested that the neighbouring Arab States should absorb the Gaza population as a solution to Israel’s decimation of Gaza, he announced what discerning persons the world over had already perceived – the earliest Zionist Israeli arrivals, courtesy Lord Balfour, had come to take it all.

Slaughter of Palestinians …. Again

A Sri Lankan American, in an Item entitled “Slaughter of Palestinians”

As the world wakes up to the harrowing images of children slain by Israeli bombs across the entire Gaza Strip AGAIN, we cannot bear witness to global leaders JUST… DOING…. NOTHING. This is an acceleration of the genocide that Israel is committing against the Palestinian people as a whole. We already failed to prevent it and our Governments have an even greater obligation to stop it now.

Marakkalayaa & Thambiyaa: Epithets That Bind Us Across Time

Sent by FIRAZATH HUSSAIN, an Old Mate from the Fort of Galle
 
Read slowly to be more meaningful
In the heart of the isle, where the oceans meet,
lies stories of traders, their journeys replete.
𝑴𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒌𝒌𝒂𝒍𝒂𝒚𝒂, a name of the seas,
Born from the waves, carried by the breeze.
