While the Arab world and the international community have called on Israel to adopt a two-state solution to end the conflict with the Palestinians, an Israeli professor claims the notion is not more than a fiction coined by Arabs to distract the globe from their true intention – the annihilation of the Jewish state. US President Donald Trump’s “deal of the century” peace plan might be […]

China has accused the US of trying to inflame tensions among powers that have stakes in the South China Sea. The rebuke comes after Washington formally rejected China’s territorial claims in the region on behalf of US allies. In a strongly-worded statement on Tuesday, the Chinese embassy in the US demanded that Washington keep its distance from the disputes between Beijing and other nations claiming sovereignty […]
White House trade adviser Peter Navarro appeared on CNN on Tuesday morning for yet another off-the-rails interview, this time devoting much of his energy to promoting anti-malarial drug hydroxychloroquine following a disputed new study finding some efficacy in treating the coronavirus. Last week, in the wake of the Food and Drug Administration revoking the emergency use of hydroxychloroquine due to serious safety issues and lack of […]
…by Jonas E. Alexis If you think that Benjamin Netanyahu has ceased to amaze and humor you, then think again. Netanyahu should certainly start applying for a stand-up comedy job somewhere on the planet. Someone would hire him because he is the man who is willing to say some of the most ridiculous things ever uttered by a human being. So what has Netanyahu been up […]

Peace seems to have exceedingly, ridiculously, laughably bad timing, this latest time in Afghanistan. This is not a column defending Donald Trump. Across my career I have said more positive words about the scolex family of intestinal […]
The “Afghanistan bounties” narrative propelled by the US mainstream media has all the earmarks of a hoax, say international observers, explaining who actually stands to benefit from unverified reports allegedly leaked by an anonymous intelligence official. Citing unnamed sources The New York Times last Friday broke the story that Russia was allegedly offering the Taliban* bounties to kill US soldiers in Afghanistan, highlighting President Donald Trump’s […]
Last week the Gateway Pundit announced a prayer rally on Saturday at the iconic St. Louis Statue on Art Hill in Forest Park in St. Louis City. The radical left wants the St. Louis statue removed. Several priests showed up at the statue on Saturday to pray around the time of our rally. One local priest was heckled and harassed while he tried to explain the […]
To ravage, to slaughter, to usurp under false titles, they call empire; and where they make a desert, they call it peace – Calgacus Libya is currently engaged in a brutal civil war with foreign armies either already involved (Turkey) or poised to intervene (Egypt). This is not the first time Libya has fallen under the evil influence of a conqueror, the last despot to cast […]
By Sajjad Shaukat for Veterans Today In the past, the most developed countries had direct control on the less developed countries through colonialism. But, neo-imperialism is its most dangerous form, prevalent in the present world. In theory a less developed is free, but in practice, its government and economy are controlled by a developed country indirectly. In these terms, through its military and intelligence agency RAW, […]
As Capitol Hill residents have cordoned off several city blocks and taken over a police precinct to set up the “Seattle People’s Department” in their “No-Cop Co-Op,” President Trump has threatened to use force to take back CHAZ if the city does not reassert control. Fifty years ago, an African-American mayor of the nation’s eighth largest city took similar action in the midst of a full-blown […]

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was “dubious” about US President Donald Trump’s decision to appoint the latter’s his son-in-law, Jared Kushner […]
The Trump administration is taking seriously a shocking claim from its enemy in Afghanistan that the Taliban foiled an Islamic State plot to assassinate a senior U.S. diplomat, U.S. officials confirm to The Daily Beast. Officials said they’re investigating an assertion, made in a recent Taliban video, that the local branch of the so-called Islamic State recruited two men to murder Zalmay Khalilzad, the State Department’s […]
ROME—In the back corner of Milan’s Maggiore cemetery is Campo 87, a field of hastily dug graves where 128 victims of COVID-19 were laid to rest in plots marked only with cheap plastic crosses. Those buried there were unclaimed at hospital morgues much like the scores of nameless COVID-19 victims buried in the potter’s field of New York’s Hart Island. But many of those who ended […]
The Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement is pushing a movement to “defund the police” — the group reportedly plans to develop an armed branch of “peace officers” to patrol cities. BLM New York chapter Chairman Hawk Newsome said the group hopes to imitate the Black Panthers Party, The Daily Mail reported. “We prepare to stop these murders by any means necessary,” Newsome said, echoing a call […]
By Kadir Mohmand for VT Dear Ms. Deyoung: Please do not sabotage the peace agreement signed on February 29, 2020. I believe the report was extremely bias, supporting the misguided views of war profiteers, both Afghan and American, who want to sabotage this agreement and the troop withdrawal to the detriment of U.S. taxpayers and Afghan civilians. I invite you to hear and present both sides […]
A combination of military and media pressure has resulted in the termination of Iraq war related criminal investigations, reflecting the power of the British military as “the only institution in the UK that is allowed to run their own criminal courts and prosecution service”, according to the Peace Pledge Union. The head of the UK military’s prosecuting body, the Service Prosecuting Authority, recently announced that they would […]
by Jack Heart I’m in Mississippi, but it’s Minnesota that’s burning. Apparently America’s police force, incessantly portrayed as heroes by a media that worships uniforms when they are anything but, have beaten another Black man to death, for no good reason except they felt like it. Three straight days of rioting and looting in Minneapolis. One must wonder if the locals were practicing safe distancing when […]
[Editor’s note: Just as Trump was inserted into the White House by an international cabal of nominally Russian crimelords, so was Benjamin Netanyahu before him. In 1995, Yasser Arafat and Yitzhak Rabin were on the verge of finding a lasting peace accord between their two peoples, a dream that was cynically destroyed by the bullets of a brainwashed Palestinian student, a patsy for the Shin Bet […]
