The whole world is with Palestine

A very large majority including 120 countries voted in favor of a humanitarian truce called upon by the United Nations General Assembly on October 26.

It's worth mentioning that 22 European Union members voted either in favor of, or abstained from, the humanitarian truce resolution.


Apart from Israel and its US protector, only 4 EU members and 8 other small countries voted against.That means that the aggressor and its protector are very isolated.


That means a widespread international support for the Palestinians during Israel's military campaign following the October 7.


It's worth mentioning that this resolution is the first formal U.N. response to the present situation. And let's be clear: the General Assembly is the UN organ that really represents the peoples of the planet and not the Security Council that was formed as a result of the second large war between European countries.(also known as "the second world war" by the West)

Covid-19 Incredible news!

"Europe and the United States have decided to earmark 4% of all funds expended in the fight against Covid-19 to the eradication of malaria, AIDS and tuberculosis, diseases that kill millions of people every year." I was sitting in front of my TV watching the news. I could barely believe my ears. As the report continued, I turned up the sound so as not to miss a word. The United States has lifted sanctions against Cuba and Venezuela and sent 10 planes with medical equipment and personnel to assist those countries in their fight against Covid-19. The leaders of North and South Korea have signed an historic agreement to reunite their country, henceforth known as the Republic of Korea. The African and European Unions have signed a free trade agreement, under which goods and citizens may circulate freely from one continent to the other. The stock exchanges are now publishing daily figures on the profits of major companies, broken down by country, to serve as t...

Negotiations: Beyond Words

  After the first day of negotiations, Iran stated that some areas of convergence had been reached, but significant disagreements remain. Tehran called for continuing the diplomatic path despite the absence of an agreement. U.S. officials indicated that the discussions ended without a deal. According to them, Iran refused the American conditions, particularly regarding the nuclear issue. Nevertheless, the United States described the exchanges as serious while reaffirming its “red lines”. In a regional context marked by Israel’s opposition to Iran’s nuclear program, tensions between the United States and Iran continue to revolve around this issue. Since the creation of the Islamic Republic and the hostage crisis of 1979, several cycles of negotiations have taken place. At each stage, the level of U.S. representation has increased, moving from diplomats to government officials, then to special envoys, and today reaching the vice president. The U.S. president himself was reportedly in...

Justice on the Side of the Palestinian People

July 19, 2024, marks a monumental victory for justice, which has clearly sided with the rights of the Palestinian people. The International Court of Justice (ICJ) issued an opinion declaring that Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories is illegal. The court demanded that all states take action to end this occupation and that Israel pay reparations to Palestinians who have suffered due to this situation. It is important to note that this opinion follows a recent decision by the Court requiring Israel to cease any actions in Gaza that could constitute genocide. This ICJ opinion will strengthen international pressure on Israel. Although it will take time, just like the end of apartheid in South Africa, there is no doubt that justice will prevail and that Palestinians will regain their right to self-determination.
