After the Cease-fire: Peace or War?

A summary of the realities of the aftermath of the attacks in the Middle East, how it will likely affect the US, Israel, and Palestine.

(PORTLAND, Ore.) - U.N. Secretary General António Guterres urged Israeli and Palestinian leaders to go “beyond the restoration of calm to start a serious dialogue to address the root causes of the conflict.” Noble idea, but don’t expect anything of the sort.

Israel`s Ongoing Crimes Against Humanity

Seven simple talking points:

(OCCUPIED PALESTINE) - Here is some "need to know" information so you may better understand how the Israel-Palestine situation has evolved to the human rights disaster that it is today, and why it is so difficult make change occur.

Palestine was colonized and replaced by a colonial settler state called “Israel”. The ideas was simply to take a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural, multi-religious country and transform it to a "Jewish state".

Tormented Dance of the Colonizer

As was true in South Africa under apartheid, so is true in Palestine under European Jewish colonization - things may get worse before they get better.
