This is probably the only thing that the west can do to reign in the mad president of Israel

Just listen to the story of Omar at 5 min
Well, it has been about a decade and counting for the Uyhgur, and still not much.
Think theyâve lost the general world populace a while ago there Joe

153 countries in the GA vote to call for a ceasefire - although that is only 13 more than on October 27.
Had a grim laugh over the World Bank report issued today on the economy of Gaza. Apparently, they think economic activity has plummeted to a near standstill. Hmm, you think?
33 additional countries voted for a ceasefire. But any UNGA vote is pointless in any case.
Countries are free to demand a ceasefire. They all know that US will veto.
The UN especially the security council are ineffectual bodies
Wasnât it 140 on October 27?
By contrast, the previous UN resolution calling for a âhumanitarian truceâ on 27 October attracted 120 votes in favor, 14 against, with 45 abstentions.
I must have garbled the âabsentsâ from that vote.
think we all know the globalist elites are just having their way with society these days. Money talks.

Itâs the neoliberal agenda in action.

care to extrapolate on that?
To summarise: since Reagan and Thatcher came to power, the entire political landscape has been controlled by the right, funded by billionaires. The public are supposed to drift money- so those with more wealth are âgoodâ and âdeservingâ and those without âbadâ and âlazyâ- while also vilifying taxation.
The aim is for wealth to be all that matters and for those with it to control not just the political agenda but the everyday lives of the masses.
Thatâs just a very basic summary; look up neoliberalism online for more detail.

and yet when the right cry foul and preach anti-establishment they are vilified by the left. police are armed to the teeth to deter any uprisings by the people against the government and their ways of pillaging the public coffers and with legislating privacy invasion with laws such as the Patriot Act it would be nearly impossible to organize any kind of protests without the government knowing and intervening
something like that?
See, itâs almost as though people on the right and on the left can actually share many values, who knew???
Neoliberalism emphasises personal greed over collective solidarity. It appeals to individualsâ desires for material wealth and emphasises policies such as tax cuts over public services. These policies benefit the rich more than the poor, but are appealing to a large proportion of the public by dangling the carrot of prosperity while continuing to funnel wealth upwards.
This creates inequality which creates frustration and anger. In order to contain this anger, issues are manufactured to divert attention, the classics being immigrants and law and order. Recently âwokenessâ has been built into a huge threat to society and outrage has been stoked by politicians in order to gain political advantage, thus distracting and diverting people from the real causes of their dissatisfaction.

my question would be, if this neoliberalism is coming out of the right as above (Reagan, Thatcher) wouldnât that be neoconservatism? âControlled by the rightâ ?
