Trump is pushing a UN resolution that would revive the British mandate in Palestine
The Trump administration is pushing an Israeli-crafted resolution at the UN Security Council this week aimed at eliminating the possibility of a State of Palestine.
The resolution does three things: It establishes US political control over Gaza; separates Gaza from the rest of Palestine; and allows the US, and therefore Israel, to determine the timeline for Israel’s supposed withdrawal from Gaza, which would mean never.
This is imperialism masquerading as a peace process. In and of itself, it is no surprise. Israel runs US foreign policy in the Middle East.
What is a surprise is that the US and Israel might just get away with this travesty unless the world speaks up with urgency and indignation.
UK MoD ‘unclear’ on damage caused by Palestine Action: Report
Information obtained by the news outlet Declassified UK has revealed that the United Kingdom’s Ministry of Defence (MoD) cannot substantiate any of the reported damage figures that it used to justify the designation of Palestine Action as a “terrorist” organisation.
The decision came in July, a month after some of the group’s members broke into the RAF Brize Norton airbase and damaged two planes, for which four members have been charged.
But now, four months after the event, Declassified UK reports the department is unable to clarify the financial impact of the incident. Instead, the organisation says the widely reported figure of 7 million British pounds ($9.2m) originated from a private company named AirTanker Ltd, which leases aircraft to the Royal Air Force (RAF).
Declassified UK says the police had shared this figure with the media, creating the impression that the damage costs came from official sources rather than a private company with close links to the arms trade.
It also stated that the redeployment of both aircraft within weeks of the incident might indicate that the damages were “overstated within certain British media circles”.

Of course it was all a load of hogwash, these engines are designed to fly through heavy hail. Just power wash it off.
