Israeli defence firm opens in UAE
As boycotts grow against both Israel and the UAE, it appears as though the two governments are quietly tightening their defence ties. With Israel’s latest ceasefire breaches in Gaza - and amid accusations that the UAE is backing genocidal militias in Sudan - an Israeli state-owned defence firm has opened a new arm in Abu Dhabi.
Those who commit/support genocide together, stick together. Hence Israel wants the Arab countries in the international stabilization occupation force as they are all in the pocket of the USA.
A Propaganda Film By Betar USA
The Grayzone presents a behind-the-scenes portrait of Betar USA, the militant Zionist street group that claims credit for guiding the Trump administration's jailing and attempted deportation of pro-Palestine student activists.
After joining Betar, the producer of this documentary filmed a series of intimate interviews with Ronn Torossian, a famed New York public relations professional who helped establish Betar USA as a vehicle for advancing the ideology of the late Rabbi Meir Kahane in the US.
Presenting Torrossian and his henchmen in their own words, without an editorial filter or narration, this film offers a raw, bracing portrait of the most radical edge of American Zionism.
