Saying that Palestinians need to demiltarize while the Zionist entity is getting billions in lethal aid from the US regularly.

This is exactly what the us does in its foreign policy. Everyone else must disarm, but the us is allowed to build up military might and create bases along their adversaries' borders.

That's something I don't understand. Palestine is already demilitarized. They have no military.

Lets remember and spread the word that this might be because of the vast amounts of oil and gas that legally belongs to Palestinians... If they had a country.

To me, the whole "oopsie, we didnt see Hamas prepare for a strike" and now "well, lets eradicate them" just fits to the narrative of "welp, dont want them to have the oil and gas. How can we make sure it will be ours?"

I love the optimism in that report.

This offers an opportunity to distribute and share about US$524 billion among the different parties in the region and promote peace and cooperation among old belligerents, the study notes.

As if finding new raw resources on someone's land has ever led to peace.

All the more reason to move away from oil

From a far-right Zionist government led by a wannabe dictator, like Benjamin Netanyahu, it is what you can expect.

He's going to play to his extreme nationalistic base, gambling the future of Israel and the Middle East and forfeiting Israeli lives, for personal power, like a madman.

Just a bunch of bros planning a genocide, not a cell phone in sight. Living in the moment.
