My heart goes out to Mr. Musallat. Today and tomorrow, The Hague Group, which consists of 10 member states of the U.N., will be joined by 20 other member states in Bogota to decide on actions to enforce international law in Gaza. U.N. Rapporteur Francesca Albanese will be among the speakers. The conference starts at 11:30 EDT.

In the words of Colombian President, Gustavo Petro, the purpose of the conference is to “bring together a broad coalition of governments— from Algeria to Brazil, China to Spain, Indonesia to Qatar, to move from condemnation to collective action.” The conference will be live-streamed.

P.S. If you search for Progressive International, you can subscribe for free and get the link for the conference. There are probably other ways to access it as well. Hopefully, P.I. will also respond to an email requesting a link.

I have not seen his story anywhere but on Zeteo. The suffering of Palestinians, the genocide, is lost in Trump's mendacity and stupidity.

I am devastated by the cruelty that took Sayfullah's life. His father is an example of mind blowing faith and resilience. I am shook to my core at the lack of accountability of the perpetrators and the continued participation in this horrific decimation of a people. Prem conducted an excellent interview, giving Mr. Mussalat enough time to speak and asking pertinent questions. The only interviewer and platform to do so. Thankyou Prem for doing this interview and big thankyou to the father as well for speaking out. I have so much respect for y'all's integrity. 🙏🏽

There is a solution of a kind, to enforce a Korea-style situation, maintain a multinational military force to make sure peace holds and no more Palestinians die whether by bullets or starvation. But the US and the EU won't go for that, so can the BRICs nations? Any other nations out there? Surely the Saudis, the Gulf states have an interest in enforcing peace in the region? Yours in naivete.

First, my condolences to Sayfollah’s family . It must have been so painful for his father to give this interview. That the United States has not condemned the murder and called for accountability is indicative of the double standard they continue to ‘champion’. It is beyond shameful.

Murder of Palestinians by Israeli settlers happens regularly and is ignored by the US government and mainstream media, making a mockery of the idea that America supports human rights anywhere in the world. And they are not America first, everything is about wealth and power, ignoring basic humanity.

Anyone whose still asking or wondering if Trump's claim of MAGA is legit should know better. Don't forget his son is law is one of most hard-core zionists out there and Trump will do anything to please his daughter including be part of the genocide

Get a grip. Why isn't Zeteo reaching out to the American Arabs who supported Trump? (Hint: Start in Dearborn, MI, then call the former mayor of Hamtramck MI who was appointed Ambassador to Kuwait.)

Remember Butcher Biden/Genocide Joe and his sidekick Kamala Harris? The former is an admitted Zionist and Harris is married to a Zionist so what makes you think anything would be different under a Democrat administration? I mean get a grip.

Orange Cheeto and Christian Nationalism

Cheeto told a prayer breakfast audience today that he’s ready to get rid of the separation of Church and State, a defining principle of the US Constitution

As Hitler said in 1929, “We tolerate no one in our ranks who attacks the ideals of Christianity. Our movement is Christian.”

Of course this has nothing to do with separation of Church and State It has everything to do with gaining a portal of entry for Cheeto’s Nazi driven Christian Nationalist movement that the right has supported with the likes of Viktor Orban, Hungary’s dictator who has visited CPAC a couple of times and been a keynote speaker The Project 2025 playbook is to get the government to become a Christian Nationalist movement attendant with all its agenda including doing away with Women’s Reproductive Rights and abortion

And the Xian Nationalists will show the Zionist U.S. national Jewry what antisemitism really looks like.
