Zelensky's Victory Plan: Challenges and Western Support

The Challenges Facing President Zelensky’s Victory Plan For several weeks, President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine has been actively advocating for his comprehensive victory plan, which he asserts will bring an end to the ongoing conflict with Russia by next year. However, despite his vigorous lobbying efforts, Western leaders have offered only lukewarm support for his initiatives. To date, no…

Addresses US Congress by PM Benjamin Netanyahu

While watching the addresses US Congress by PM Benjamin Netanyahu I had to write this blog up. In the complex world of international politics, few figures stand out as distinctly as Benjamin Netanyahu. Israel's Prime Minister, often referred to by his nickname "Bibi," has demonstrated a unique blend of resilience, strategic acumen, and charismatic leadership that more Western leaders could learn from. His tenure, marked by both controversy and commendation, offers a treasure trove of lessons for contemporary statesmen navigating the turbulent waters of global politics.

Master of Realpolitik:

Netanyahu's approach to governance is a masterclass in realpolitik. He has navigated Israel through some of its most challenging periods, including numerous conflicts, intense diplomatic pressures, and a volatile regional landscape. I strongly admire his raw bluntness. Speaks from the conviction in his heart a true Israelis patriot. His pragmatic approach, often prioritising national security and survival over idealistic pursuits, ensures that Israel remains a formidable presence in the Middle East.

Strategic Vision:

Netanyahu's strategic vision is perhaps best exemplified by his handling of Iran's nuclear ambitions. His relentless campaign to highlight the dangers posed by a nuclear-armed Iran has been instrumental in shaping global perceptions and policies. Netanyahu's ability to galvanise international support, despite facing considerable opposition, underscores his persuasive prowess and deep understanding of global dynamics. Western leaders could benefit from his ability to anticipate threats and mobilise international coalitions effectively.

Economic Stewardship:

Under Netanyahu's leadership, Israel has experienced significant economic growth. His tenure saw the nation transform into a technological powerhouse, often dubbed the "Start-Up Nation." Netanyahu's economic policies, focusing on innovation, deregulation, and fostering a business-friendly environment, have paid dividends. Western leaders grappling with economic stagnation and declining competitiveness can learn from Netanyahu's emphasis on technology and entrepreneurship as drivers of economic success.

Diplomatic Dexterity:

One of Netanyahu's remarkable achievements is his diplomatic dexterity. He has managed to forge unprecedented alliances with previously hostile nations and strengthened ties with major global powers. His role in the Abraham Accords, which normalized relations between Israel and several Arab states, is a testament to his diplomatic ingenuity. This ability to build bridges in a fractured world is a skill that Western leaders should aspire to emulate.

Communication Mastery:

Netanyahu is a master communicator. His articulate and persuasive speech-making, whether addressing the Knesset, the United Nations, or the international media, has been pivotal in advancing Israel's narrative on the global stage. He skilfully uses rhetoric to rally support, defend policies, and counter adversaries. Effective communication, as demonstrated by Netanyahu, is essential for leaders aiming to inspire and lead both domestically and internationally.

Resilience and Adaptability:

Netanyahu's political career, spanning several decades, is a testament to his resilience and adaptability. Despite facing numerous challenges, including intense political rivalries, legal battles, and public scrutiny, he has consistently demonstrated an ability to bounce back and retain leadership. This resilience, coupled with a willingness to adapt to changing circumstances, is a critical quality for any leader. Western politicians, often facing rapidly shifting political landscapes, can draw inspiration from Netanyahu's tenacity and adaptability.

Benjamin Netanyahu's leadership offers a compelling case study for Western leaders. His blend of realpolitik, strategic foresight, economic acumen, diplomatic skill, communication prowess, and resilience presents a multifaceted template for effective governance. While his methods and policies may not always align with every ideological perspective, the underlying principles of his leadership are universally applicable. As the world continues to confront complex challenges, more Western leaders could benefit from adopting some of Netanyahu's proven strategies, ensuring stability, security, and prosperity for their nations.

In Gaza, journalists are passing out from exhaustion and famine. Despite the ICJ ruling, the US and Australia are intentionally defunding UNWRA based on baseless claims by Israel that members of the aid group are Hamas-sympathizers. Netanyahu, of course, has ignored the ICJ ruling. Israel has banned insulin pens from arriving in Gaza, a particularly cruel and inhumane crime to add to their laundry list of offences. Nothing has changed, and things are getting worse.

It is not that hard to not buy things. To not watch things. Perhaps it is inconvenient, and makes you go out of your way, and costs a little more to buy alternatives. But if you were to attend a funeral a day for every child that has died in Gaza so far, it would take you over 27 years. When the worst that will happen to you is that you don't watch a TV show featuring a zionist, you don't buy a specific brand that donates to and supports zionism, how could that possibly compare to the plight of Palestinians who must amputate limbs without anesthesia?

Once again, this is the BDS list of brands to boycott.

Here is a comprehensive post about more actions you can take in support of Palestine.

Here is a list of verifiable orgs that provide aid on the ground.

credible organisations that are doing work on the ground in Palestine:

Care for Gaza:non-profit charity that distributes money, food and other resources directly to families in Gaza.They maintain a regular presence on Twitter and Instagram. You can donate to them via Paypal here.

PCRF / Palestine Children's Relief Fund: non-profit organisation that distributes essential food and resources to families in Gaza. Most recently, they delivered 30 tons of vital medicine, and 82,000 pounds of flour.

Medical Aid For Palestinians: deploys medical teams to treat Palestinians suffering under Israel's malicious bombardments.

Donate e-sims to Palestine: massive post with tutorials and relevant links, with discount codes included in the post and in the replies.

Direct Aid: humanitarian fund distributing supplies such as blankets and winter jackets directly to Palestinian families.

I've been debating how to breach this topic for the past days, but there is no easy or practical way to bring it up. There is an ongoing genocide in Gaza- the world's largest open air prison, as described by U.N. officials and activists. Nearly 2500 Palestinians have been killed in the course of past few days, including women and nearly 700 children. 700. Israel urged Palestinians to leave the Gaza stripe (even though they have nowhere to go to) only to bomb their "safe" exit routes. Entire civilian neighborhoods and hospitals are being targeted by Israel, and they are threatening to cut off the water and electricity in Gaza as well, turning the few running hospitals left to cemeteries.

Palestinians children are writing their names on their palms so people would recognize them, in case they end up being killed by Israel forces. Palestinians are writing their goodbye messages on social media because they aren't sure they'd still be alive tomorrow. There is so much atrocity going on, so many war crimes that the west have deemed reasonable because those are Palestinian lives that are taken, because Palestinians lives aren't as important as western ones, because international law doesn't apply when it comes to Palestinians.

it is unsettling and uncomfortable to watch these images of war, of beheaded children being carried by fellow civilians, of ambulance drivers falling to the ground from the horror of that they've witnessed, of cries of babies who are suddenly orphans, who have never known anything but violence and murder. But this is the reality of Palestinians, as it has been for the past decades. Please, I urge you, educate yourself on the ongoing conflict. There is no hard choice, there are no nuances that you need to take into consideration, there are no 'buts'. There is a colonization, an ethnical cleansing, a genocide, and Palestinians aren't the instigators of it. They are the ones paying the price.

Standing up for Palestine doesn't mean you are anti-jew, the proof is there are a lot of Jewish people standing with the Palestine cause, because they recognize the atrocities committed by the Israeli government. There were no "40 beheaded babies" by Hamas, this was a false information, consciously perpetuated by Israel then the USA so they'd be able to attack Palestine with a "reasonable" motive, only backtracking on it when the damage was already done. There aren't two sides. There is only one true side and it's Palestine.

"The Holy Roman Empire wasn't holy, roman, or an empire" is something amateur historians love to post and it sounds like something some snide and pretentious dweeb thought it up, which is exactly correct bc it is a paraphrase of Voltaire.

not saying the holocaust wasn't bad. but i need people to understand that it wasn't the only genocide that happened in the same period of world history. not because i want you to pay less attention to holocaust but because i need you to ask why it's the only one we ever talk about. it wasn't the longest occured massacre of a marginalized group, it wasn't the most gruesome, it wasn't the one with the most casualties, it wasn't the first and it wasn't the last one. i need people to think about why we didn't pay much attention to all the other holocausts after WWII that happened simultaniously and were just as horrible. it says so much about media, the news we are fed, and that our empathy is BOUGHT by the same people that keep funding genocides all over the world.

Turn off the Super Bowl - it’s not important. Go open the news now.

I hope you all understand that Israel has begun attacking Rafah at night while people were asleep.

They are now attacking what few buildings still remain in the south, near the TENTS that contain nearly 2 MILLION starving Palestinians who were forced out of their homes because their city was LEVELLED. By the SAME people now bombing them.

Rafah is where the Zionazis ‘claimed’ is the ✌️ ‘safe zone’✌️ /wink wink for Palestinians (it never was. I warned people about believing this stupid lie for months). And although we were all telling you for months that it’s all a lie, and that Israel’s purpose of Oct 7 has ALWAYS been to erase every Palestinian, the West STILL SUPPORTS ISRAEL. They are STILL GIVING THEM WEAPONS AND MONEY.

Giving them all the resources they need to steal another people’s land. To level their city like the fucking Rumbling, then slowly and methodically kill of its population by locking them in a freezing, waterless desert with no food, water or basic amenities. Then speed it up by blowing up the people in tents. Starving, weakened, dehydrated people, many of which are just 10-year old orphans trying to keep their 5 and 3 and 2-year old siblings alive because every adult in their life is already dead.

This is a catastrophe beyond my comprehension. This is savagery and barbarity beyond nothing I’ve ever imagined. I pray every Zionazi dies a miserable, horrible death. I wish the same to their supporters.

When Christianity is gone, nature will heal. Honestly though, the cognitive dissonance required to be devoted to a slave religion death cult really makes me understand why every historical society had some kind of class/ caste system. These people are incapable of critical thought and only survive because the billionaire oligarchs want them to
