The siege of North Gaza

U.S.-sponsored Zionist genocide makes Jabalia synonymous with Auschwitz, Treblinka

A Palestinian man carries the body of a baby recovered from the rubble of the Jabalia refugee camp one day after an Israeli airstrike hit the area.

For the last year, the United States and its Zionist partners have waged a brutal and unyielding siege on Gaza. The widespread devastation and death throughout the Gaza Strip has been widely reported on in both corporate media and alternative sources. 

Neighborhoods are eviscerated. Water supplies are non-existent. Children burn in their hospital beds. And even with all of that misery, it seems that Zionist forces are escalating the genocide to yet another level. Currently, the Gaza Strip’s northern section is suffocating under the weight of that escalation. 

Since early October of this year, occupation forces have held the Jabalia refugee camp under siege. Jabalia is one of the oldest and largest refugee camps in Palestine. Jabalia is home to well over a hundred thousand people packed into an area of 1.4 kilometers. This makes Jabalia the most densely populated square kilometer in the world. The war has seen relentless occupation offensives against Jabalia since Oct. 7th. 

However, it has only been in recent weeks that the IOF has entirely encircled Jabalia. Occupation forces have ordered Jabalia’s residents to leave what is left of their homes or be killed. Fearing that they will never return home if they leave, tens of thousands have stayed. As the Zionist stranglehold has tightened, the conditions in Jabalia have become borderline untenable for human life. 

Since the siege’s start, Jabalia has been completely cut off from Gaza City and the rest of the strip. UNRWA reports that 90% of Jabalia’s water is undrinkable. Zionist troops destroyed Jabalia’s power grid completely, rendering the entire camp without electricity. As if this wasn’t bad enough, Jabalia was also one of the epicenters of the recent polio outbreak in the Gaza Strip, the first of its kind in a century. 

Unfortunately, the siege within the siege is not limited to Jabalia. The occupation air force and army have killed dozens in mere days in both Beit Lahia and Beit Hanoun camps. Both camps are similarly cut off from all aid like Jabalia. Beit Lahia is home to the last functioning hospital in northern Gaza. As such, it has been under constant IOF bombardment. The Zionists are intent on targeting all facilities and infrastructure that supply the people of these camps with the most basic human necessities. 

In just weeks, the occupation has murdered 1,300 people throughout North Gaza, and that number is likely massively underreported. 

The Zionists’ goal in its siege on Jabalia and similar camps is not a secret: Their goal is to either murder or displace every single person in the area. There is a phrase for this sort of place: a death camp. If Israel in any way represented the values and history of Judaism, the so-called Jewish State would recognize a modern-day Treblinka when it saw one. 

Instead, the Zionist regime plays the role of the modern-day Third Reich. In its new role, the Zionist regime is full steam ahead towards the entire extermination of Palestine’s indigenous people. UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, Joyce Msuya, stated the situation simply: “The entire population of North Gaza is at risk of dying.”

The people of North Gaza and all of Palestine need the intervention of the world now. The United States and their Zionist dog must be isolated economically and militarily until they end this horror campaign against Palestine. 

The lesson of the Shoah, or Holocaust perpetrated at the hands of Nazi Germany, was not the need for a fascist faux-Jewish ethnostate but the need to prevent all forms of fascism and genocide in the future. The Zionists cannot be allowed to continue to operate modern-day Treblinka and Auschwitz in Gaza or anywhere. 

Palestine must be free.

No votes for genocide!

Nov. 2 — Three days before the capitalist elections, people gathered in Manhattan’s Union Square to say no to the mass murder in Palestine and Lebanon. Called by the Shut It Down 4 Palestine Coalition, the action was part of a National Day of Action to say no votes for genocide!

“The U.S. government funnels billions of our tax dollars to Israel as they continue to commit genocide against the Palestinian people,” declared the coalition. “During this presidential election, we won’t forget the candidates’ blatant support for the genocide.”

Speakers at the Union Square rally demanded a ceasefire and stopping the endless baby-killing weapons shipments to the Zionist occupiers of Palestine.

People marched up New York City’s avenues through Herald Square and Times Square before holding a final rally at the reference library on Fifth Avenue. No matter what happens on election day, the struggle for Palestinian liberation will continue.

Later, just before midnight, several dozen protesters gathered outside NBC Studios at Rockefeller Center to confront Kamala Harris, who made a surprise appearance on Saturday Night Live. As her caravan passed, they waved Palestinian flags and chanted, “100,000 people dead, Kamala, your hands are red” and “Democrat, Republican, genocide is by bipartisan.”

U.S., British bombing of Yemen’s key port threatens renewed famine, war

The United States and British air forces launched a series of air strikes against the Yemeni port city of Al Hudaydah on Oct. 31. This is the second of their kind launched by Western forces against the port, specifically since the beginning of 2024. 

In July, Zionist forces carpet-bombed the Al Hudaydah port region, killing six people and wounding another 80. The July strikes also destroyed oil facilities and a crucial power station. At the time, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemned the strikes and accused the Zionist entity of unnecessary escalation against Yemen. 

The United Nations World Food Program later found that the July 20 Zionist strikes destroyed 800,000 liters of UN-owned fuel supplied for humanitarian purposes. Even the U.S.-friendly Western think tank, Human Rights Watch, condemned the strike as apossible war crime,” citing the scorched earth nature of the strikes that targeted civilian infrastructure. 

This recent round of strikes on the port, this time perpetrated directly by the U.S. and Britain, signals a dangerous escalation in the region and threatens to plunge Yemen back into a bloody civil war after an uneasy armistice has held for roughly five years. Further attacks on the port could also reintroduce famine conditions in Yemen and worsen the current cholera outbreak. 

The port at Al Hudaydah is a crucial supply point for Yemen and the entire Arabian peninsula. Regarding Yemen, 70% of the country’s food imports enter via the Al Hudaydah port. Further, the port is also the entry point for over 80% of all humanitarian aid that enters Yemen. 

The targeting of Al Hudaydah’s civilian port capacity is not a mistake. It is an intentional attempt to destabilize the legitimate Ansar Allah-led government of Yemen and to place the people of Yemen under siege conditions as they fight to end the genocide in Gaza. This is not the first time Western-backed forces have attempted to starve out Ansar Allah via the Al Hudaydah port.

In 2018, a U.S.-backed joint Saudi and UAE forces besieged the port city in the hopes of striking a fatal blow against the growing then-named “Houthi Movement.” That movement, now known as the Ansar Allah Yemen Government, led an uprising in 2014 against a Saudi puppet government that aimed to open the country to predatory Western monopolies. In 2014, the rebel forces captured the Yemeni capital city of Sanaa and established a new seat of government. 

Four years into a bloody war between Saudi Arabian proxy forces and Ansar Allah, the Saudi and Emirate forces decided to make a move against the new Yemeni government by attacking the Al Hudaydah port. This deadly move came after years of human rights abuses against the Yemeni people. To be clear, the United States, France, and Britain supplied weapons to the Saudi forces, who used those weapons to wage a terror campaign against Ansar Allah and the citizens of Yemen. 

U.S.-supplied Saudi forces began their attack on the Al Hudaydah port in June of 2018. The battle quickly intensified, engulfing the entire city and placing the port at the risk of total shutdown. The Saudi forces’ aim was the same as the U.S. forces today: to starve the people of Yemen and undermine Ansar Allah’s ability to govern Yemen. 

Like today, the strategy ultimately failed, but not before it launched Yemen into famine conditions, which the country is just now recovering from. Even with that recovery, the Famine Early Warning Signs Network still considers Yemen to be in a state of acute food insecurity. 

The intensity of the 2018 fighting around Al Hudaydah port, combined with the growing humanitarian crisis, was the spark that began a peace process in Yemen. The Stockholm Agreement, signed in December 2018, was the first of several ceasefire agreements that temporarily put the Saudi war on Yemen on hold. The Stockholm Ceasefire was not fully implemented until 2021 when Saudi and Emirati forces finally withdrew from the port region. 

Throughout this time, the United States never actually recognized the validity of the Stockholm Agreement. That said, the United States did not reject the ceasefire plan either, until possibly now. 

With its recent escalations against the Al Hudaydah port, specifically, the lifeline of Yemen, the United States threatens to launch the country back into civil war and famine, all while Yemen fights a cholera epidemic. In the week before the most recent strikes on the port, the U.S. signaled to Ansar Allah through back channels that it may formally reject the Stockholm Agreement and open the door for renewed Saudi and Emirati intervention. The U.S. would take this step to prevent Yemen from further assisting the resistance in Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon. 

The United States government and military often act as if they are peace brokers. Their actions prove quite the opposite. The true greatest threat to peace and stability in the Middle East is the United States itself. Its recent brutal escalations against the free people of Yemen are stone-cold proof of that.

The legacy of Palestinian resistance leader Yahya Sinwar

PAL-Awda statement on the martyrdom of Sinwar

Yahya Sinwar, Abu Ibrahim, Chair of the Political Bureau of the Islamic Resistance Movement, lived a hero and died a legend. PAL-Awda NY/NJ and the Palestinian Assembly for Liberation join with all Palestinians and oppressed people across the region and the world to honor the martyred leader, whose name will go down in history as a symbol of resistance and liberation.

The oppressors of the Palestinian and Arab people call him a “terrorist,” a “fanatic,” an “extremist.” So say the mass murderers in Tel Aviv and their paymasters and armorers in Washington. So say lying US politicians, including both big-party presidential candidates, and the lying corporate media. This is how the oppressors have always described those who resist their tyranny-Nat Turner, John Brown, Sitting Bull, James Connolly, Patrice Lumumba, Malcolm X, Che Guevara, so many more.. This is what the Nazis called the Jewish freedom fighters of the Warsaw Ghetto. So the zionists and their funders have called the many martyred leaders of Palestine.

These are the words of those who wage a war of extermination against the people of Palestine and Lebanon, who burn children to death or shoot them in the head or starve or maim them. Despite the assassinations of Sinwar, Nasrallah, Haniyeh, and Shukr, the zionists have continued their genocidal campaign, proving to the world time and time again that their only goal is the complete occupation of Palestine and the annihilation of the Palestinian people.

They have massacred hundreds in the camps of north Gaza in just the three days since Abu Ibrahim rose to martyrdom. This very day they have wiped out an entire neighborhood in Beit Lahia, murdering over 100 people. These crimes get no word of concern from US politicians and media, for they themselves are the perpetrators.

To Palestinians, Abu Ibrahim was a hero, a freedom fighter. His life was the very embodiment of the Palestinian cause, of the right to exist and to return and live with peace and freedom in their own land. He lived his life in service to that cause, and in that cause he was martyred.

Like so many Palestinians, Yahya Sinwar was born and raised in Khan Younis refugee camp, in the giant open-air prison called the Gaza Strip. His family was forced there when Zionist gangs destroyed their home town of Al Majdal in 1948. The Zionist settler colony of Ashkelon was built on its ruins.
Sinwar was 5 when zionist forces occupied Gaza. He was 19 when they first imprisoned him. In 1988, he was sentenced to four life sentences for organizing armed resistance to the brutal occupation.

During his 22 years in the enemy’s dungeons, Hamas, the movement he helped found, forced the occupiers to withdraw from Gaza and won the Palestinian general elections. This was the Palestinian people’s answer to the betrayal of Oslo. In 2011, the Resistance won his release and that of 1000 others from the cells of the occupier.

Sinwar was named the leader of Hamas on August 6, 2024, following the assassination of the movement’s political bureau chief, Ismail Haniyeh.

While this is a moment of mourning for us globally, it is also a moment to recognize the dismantling tentacles of the zionist entity, and the weakening of its colonial project. On October 7, 2023, when the Palestinian Resistance broke through the prison gates surrounding Gaza, they destroyed the world’s perception of the israeli occupation forces as an invincible army. Since then, the Palestinian Resistance has been holding its ground in Gaza, despite the billions of dollars in funds and weapons funneled into the genocide by the U.S.

Yahya Sinwar, leading the resistance, embodied the spirit of our collective struggle until his last breath. In his final moments, despite heavy bleeding, with a hand nearly severed, draped in a kuffiyeh and combat gear, Sinwar stood defiant in the face of sadistic occupation, hurling a piece of wood at the israeli drone. His final moments dispelled zionist propaganda that the leadership of our resistance is hiding in tunnels while their people endure genocide. Instead, the world saw him fighting until the very end, defending his land and his people.

Sinwar’s martyrdom, like that of the leaders who came before him, will inspire countless others, igniting a new generation of fighters who will rise in his name.

LA Times won’t endorse genocide: Nika Soon-Shiong

The daughter of Los Angeles Times owner Patrick Soon-Shiong says the paper Is refusing to endorse a candidate overseeing genocide. “For me, genocide is a line in the sand.”

In a series of social media posts on Oct. 24, Nika Soon-Shiong said that the decision stems from opposition to Democratic candidate Kamala Harris’ stance on the war on Gaza. She noted that her father, a South African transplant surgeon, worked as an emergency surgeon at Baragwanath Hospital in Soweto during the apartheid era, stating, “For my family, apartheid is not a vague concept.” 

Nika said, “This is not a vote for Donald Trump. This is a refusal to endorse a candidate overseeing a war on children.”

Billionaire’s agenda: Silencing anti-Zionism

At first glance, the phrases “Stand Up to Hate” and “Combat Anti-Semitism” seem innocuous enough. After all, who wants to be known as a hateful bigot or a virulent anti-Semite? Outside of a select realm of Nazis and fascists, those who are proudly hateful anti-Semites rank few in the large masses of the working class. 

These two phrases are at the center of billionaire Robert Kraft’s non-profit, the Foundation to Combat Anti-Semitism, and its various media campaigns. If only this foundation were actually committed to fighting anti-Semitism or racist hate. In reality, Kraft’s nonprofit and its campaign have nothing to do with ethnic or racial hatred. The Foundation to Combat Anti-Semitism is, in reality, the foundation to combat anti-Zionism. 

To be clear, anti-Semitism is certainly a problem in the United States. Neo-Nazi organizing continues to grow. The Jewish community faces dozens of anti-Semitic hate crimes a year that have nothing to do with Israel but simply are based in anti-Jewish bigotry. Further, anti-Semitic rhetoric continues to ring from the highest levels of the U.S. political class

Robert Kraft is not concerned with those forms of anti-Semitism. Actually, Robert Kraft is not concerned with anti-Semitism at all. He is simply concerned with profits and the protection of his investments in the Zionist entity, which include various athletic facilities and “entrepreneurship” funds.

Kraft founded the so-called Foundation to Combat Anti-Semitism in 2019 with a $20 million grant. So, did Kraft establish this organization in response to the neo-Nazi march on Charlottesville, the mass shooting at Tree of Life Synagogue, or the murder of gay Jewish teenager Blase Bernstein? No, he did not. 

At a private event in 2019 in “Jerusalem,” Kraft discussed his plan to build his foundation. Kraft boldly announced at this event that his $20 million foundation would be aimed at combating the Boycott, Divest, and Sanctions movement and any other “delegitimization of Israel.” 

At the time, Kraft had already funded and led 27 missions to the Zionist entity. That number has only skyrocketed since. The Foundation’s opening propaganda salvo involved a team-up with two rappers, both Black men: Meek Mill and Jay-Z. 

Outside of collaborating with those two rappers, the Foundation was pretty quiet in its first few years. In 2022, it launched its first major “Stand up to Jewish Hate” during the Super Bowl, which draws tens of millions of viewers worldwide every year.

According to Kraft, he was driven to fund this ad campaign in the wake of anti-Semitic statements from two Black men, Kyrie Irving and Kanye West. For Kraft and the Foundation, the statements of these two Black celebrities were clear indicators that anti-Semitism in the United States had risen to an unacceptable level. 

Were the synagogue mass shootings and neo-Nazi torch marches not clear enough indicators that anti-Semitism was surging? Kraft only seems to care when Black or Brown people are allegedly anti-Semitic. 

This messaging plays into a common misconception that the Black community is somehow inherently more anti-Semitic than other communities. This is a strange notion considering that even according to the Zionist “Anti-Defamation League,” the vast majority of anti-Semitic hate crimes are perpetrated at the hands of neo-Nazi and white supremacist organizations. Regardless, even this racist messaging was a smokescreen for Kraft’s real motivation in his Foundation: to break the BDS movement. 

In the years since its founding, the Foundation has pumped millions of dollars into studies and media campaigns that assert anti-Semitisim includes criticism of Israel. This included an October 2023 report that categorized as anti-Semitic any comparisons between Gaza and Auschwitz and Jewish students building “Sukkahs” in solidarity with Gaza. That’s right, building shelters for the Jewish holiday of Sukkot in solidarity with the homeless of Gaza is somehow anti-Semitic. 

The bodies of 11 Jews lying in pools of blood in Pittsburgh weren’t enough to push Kraft to action, but Jewish students standing in solidarity with Palestine were. As a part of this attack on the anti-Zionist and BDS movements, Kraft announced in April of this year that he was pulling all of his financial support from Columbia University because of pro-Palestine protests. 

 

Comparisons between fascist “Israel” and Nazi Germany are not anti-Semitic. Jewish students who stand in solidarity with Palestine are not anti-Semitic. Boycotts of corporations that fund the genocide of Palestine are not anti-Semitic. 

 

Robert Kraft is not a friend of the Jewish community or any community that suffers from apartheid, racist hatred, or class oppression. He is a right-wing billionaire who inherited his fortune from his father-in-law and long prided himself in his friendship with Donald Trump. 

Don’t be fooled by Kraft and his Foundation’s smooth talk and expensively produced television advertisements. He is just another racist Zionist billionaire.

Los Angeles stands with Gaza: Protest against Western media’s pro-Zionist bias

Oct. 18, Los Angeles – Seventy-five people turned out for an emergency protest in front of CNN. 

The protest was called when the Israeli military bombed targets that had been declared safe zones – a tent encampment at Al-Aqsa Hospital, a school at the Nuseirat camp, and the Al-Shati camp, all in northern Gaza.

Dozens of Palestinian people were killed in the bombardments or burned alive in massive fires that followed. The majority were children.

Organizers selected CNN as the site for the protest because of the Western media’s extreme pro-Zionist bias in its coverage of the genocide.

Hamas statement on the martyrdom of Yahya Sinwar

Halt the aggression in Gaza, withdraw and release our heroic prisoners from the occupiers’ jails

With all the pride, dignity, and honor, the Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, mourns to our Palestinian people, to our entire nation, and to the free people of the world. One of the noblest and bravest men, a man who dedicated his life for Palestine and gave his soul for the sake of Allah on the path to its liberation. He was true to Allah, and Allah was true to him, choosing him as a martyr alongside his fellow martyrs:

We mourn the great national leader, the Mujahid Martyr Brother Yahya Al-Sinwar (Abu Ibrahim), Head of the Political Bureau of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) and Commander of Al-Aqsa Flood Battle

He rose as a heroic martyr, advancing and never retreating, wielding his weapon, engaging and confronting the occupation army at the frontlines. He moved between all combat positions, steadfast and stationed on the honored land of Gaza, defending the land of Palestine and its holy sites, inspiring the spirit of endurance, patience, steadfastness, and resistance.

Our great people, our Arab and Islamic nations, and the free people of the world:

The martyred leader Yahya Al-Sinwar lived as a mujahid, and from his youth, he carved his path within the ranks of Hamas, engaging in its resistance operations. During 23 years of imprisonment, he triumphed over the zionist jailer. (https://t.me/PalestineResist/286) After his release in the Wafa al-Ahrar deal (https://t.me/PalestineResist/9470), he continued his contributions, planning and fighting until his eyes witnessed, on October 7, 2023, the day of the great flood (https://t.me/PalestineResist/13228) that shook the depths of the entity, exposing the fragility of its supposed security. The heroic epics of our people and the valor of our victorious resistance followed until he attained the highest rank and the noblest medal, ascending as a witness and a martyr, content with the jihad and sacrifice he offered.

The martyr leader Yahya Al-Sinwar followed in the footsteps of great martyred leaders, including the founding martyr Sheikh Ahmed Yassin (https://t.me/PalestineResist/24405), Dr. Abdelaziz Al-Rantisi, (https://t.me/PalestineResist/6825), Al-Maqadmeh, Abu Shanab, Jamal Mansour, Jamal Saleem, the martyred leader Ismail Haniyeh, (https://t.me/PalestineResist/51032) and his deputy Sheikh Saleh Al-Arouri, (https://t.me/PalestineResist/42038), along with the caravan of martyrs from all our leaders and people. We affirm that these sacrifices will continue to illuminate our path and drive us to more resilience and steadfastness. Hamas remains committed to the promise of its founding leaders and martyrs until the aspirations of our people are fully realized: the complete liberation and return and the establishment of the Palestinian state on the entire national soil with Al-Quds as its capital, by Allah’s will. This will become a curse upon the invading occupiers who are strangers to this land.

Our great people, our Arab and Islamic nations, and the free people of the world:

The martyrdom of Brother Leader Yahya Al-Sinwar, along with all the leaders and icons of the movement who preceded him on the path of honor, martyrdom, and the project of liberation and return, will only strengthen Hamas and our resistance, making us more determined and steadfast in following their path, honoring their blood and sacrifices. A movement that offers its leaders and members as martyrs in defense of the rights of its people is a noble, genuine movement deeply rooted in its people.

To those lamenting the captured occupiers held by the resistance, we say: they will not return except with the cessation of aggression on Gaza, its withdrawal, and the release of our heroic prisoners from the occupation’s jails.

We continue in the path of Hamas, and the spirit of Al-Aqsa Flood will remain a living flame in the hearts of our people.

We remain faithful to your pledge, Abu Ibrahim, and your banner will never fall but will remain high and proudly raised.

Peace be upon you, Abu Ibrahim, the humble, devout, and pious man.
Peace be upon you, the prisoner.
Peace be upon you, the fighter.
Peace be upon you, the martyr.
Peace be upon you, for history will record that you wrote the first line in the war of liberation and the end of the occupation.

May Allah have mercy on you and grant you the highest place in paradise with the prophets, the truthful ones, the martyrs, and the righteous, and what excellent companions they are.

And it is a jihad of victory or martyrdom

Biden-Harris administration escalates war drive against Iran

Recent weeks have seen the U.S. war machine substantially escalate its proxy war against Iran via “Israel” and other regional partners. On Sept. 27, the U.S.-backed Zionist regime assassinated Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah, a key Iranian ally and leader in the Axis of Resistance.

United States President and war-monger-in-chief Joe Biden issued a statement in full support of Nasrallah’s assassination and “Israel’s” general escalation against Lebanon. Biden didn’t stop there. He proudly declared that the “United States fully supports Israel’s right to defend itself against Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis, and any other Iranian-supported terrorist groups.” 

As an apartheid regime built on the back of colonization and genocide, “Israel” has no right to self-defense. The fact is, the people of Palestine and their regional allies will fight for the complete liberation of the Arab world from U.S.-Israel terror. Palestine’s struggle for liberation, whether it be the armed struggle or the political struggle, is a fight for the very survival of a people. 

So when the U.S. president, the face of imperialism, declares that the imperialist military structure will support Zionism in “self-defense,” what he means is that the U.S. will provide the Zionist entity with whatever it needs to fight its masters’ enemies. In this case, that enemy is Iran. Since Biden’s speech, the U.S. military and propaganda machine has only escalated the saber-rattling against Iran.

On Oct. 4, six days after Biden’s statement, U.S. aircraft and warships launched strikes against 12 military and civilian sites across Yemen. Ansar Allah, Yemen’s ruling political party, is a key ally to Iran in the region. Yemen’s strikes against U.S. naval vessels and disruption of Red Sea shipping lanes are a crucial part of the Axis of Resistance’s overall fight to stop the Zionist entity. The U.S. cannot allow this sort of coordination in resistance to threaten its strongest and most profitable military base, known as “Israel.”

As such, the U.S. imperialist class, including the defense industry, big tech, and automotive companies, will support whatever action is needed to secure the Zionist entity, even if this means marching toward war with Iran. 

To that end, the Biden administration has already taken several steps to militarily escalate against Iran. On Oct. 8, State Department Spokesman Mattew Miller clarified the Biden regime’s position on “Israel’s” current war in Southern Lebanon. Miller announced that the regime no longer supports any ceasefire between occupation forces and Hezbollah. Further, the Biden regime is now fully behind the IOF’s ground incursions into Lebanon. Hezbollah is another key player in the Axis of Resistance and a close ally of Iran. 

In its latest move, the Biden regime deployed a THAAD missile system and 100 U.S. troops to occupied Palestine in support of the anticipated Zionist response to Iran’s Oct. 1 ballistic missile attack on the Zionist military infrastructure. 

The Zionist regime’s counter-strike on Iran is being planned in close coordination with the White House and the Pentagon. Such plans could include missile strikes on the Iranian oil industry and other civilian sectors. 

As The Cradle reported, the expanding Zionist war has meant big profits for the Western defense industry. The Quincy Institute published a report: “Israel’s wars mean ‘massive’ returns for U.S. arms company investors.” 

“Investors in weapons stocks have enjoyed record gains over the past year, dramatically outperforming the major stock indexes in a stock rally that analysts are attributing to violence and instability in the Middle East,” the report says.

Military escalation against Iran serves to keep the gravy train rolling at the cost of millions of starving and dying people across the Middle East. As long as that is the case, then the U.S. will continue to fund and coordinate the Zionist war against Iran and its allies.
