WELCOME TO WORLD PUBLIC INTEREST JOURNALISM

Under Earth Constitution government, we are all world citizens with certain inalienable rights (Article 12, Bill of Rights for the Citizens of Earth). Israel would never have been allowed to steal Palestinian homes and lands, to establish an apartheid state, or to commit mass murder (genocide).


Because the undemocratic UN Charter has prevented the UN from protecting Palestinians, the world community and family of nations must look elsewhere for solutions. The World Constitution & Parliament Association is developing the House of Peoples for the Provisional World Parliament with 1000 Electoral Districts to represent the Earth's 8 billion people under the authority of the Earth Constitution.


The UN General Assembly has an opportunity to empower itself (utilizing the authority of the EC) if it establishes the Earth Constitution's House of Nations which would give 187 nations, for the first time since 1945, voting rights on global issues. -- R. Kotila, PhD, editor

PEOPLE OF CONSCIENCE are the Zionists' worst nightmare

IDF ordered to stop Gaza-bound aid ship carrying Greta Thunberg

Lorenzo Tondo (in Jerusalem)     The Guardian



Alarm briefly sounds on vessel Madleen amid interception fears ... The Israeli defence minister has threatened to “take all necessary measures” to prevent a humanitarian ship carrying climate campaigner Greta Thunberg from reaching Gaza.

 

The Madleen says it is attempting to reach the shores of the territory to bring in a symbolic amount of aid and raise international awareness of the continuing humanitarian crisis.

But on Sunday, Israel Katz ordered the Israeli military to stop the ship from getting anywhere near Gaza.

 

“I have instructed the IDF [Israel Defense Forces] to act so that the hate flotilla … does not reach the shores of Gaza – and to take all necessary measures to that end,” Katz said in a statement.

 This Is Israel

This is Israel. This is what the Zionist project looks like. The dead kids. The blown-out hospitals. The desperate, starving civilians. This is it.


There is no alternate version of Israel where these things are not happening. The liberal Zionist vision of a two-state solution and a just and peaceful Israel exists solely in the imaginations of the people who envision it. Nothing like it has ever existed. Everything about the modern state of Israel is unyieldingly hostile to that vision.


You either want to burn children alive, or you don’t. You either want to deliberately starve civilians, or you don’t. You either want to bomb hospitals, or you don’t.


You either want to deliberately assassinate Palestinian journalists while forbidding foreign journalists entry into Gaza, or you don’t.


You either want to deliberately massacre civilians and systematically destroy civilian infrastructure in order to force the removal of Palestinians from a Palestinian territory, or you don’t. And if you don’t, you must oppose the state of Israel.


Everything Israel is doing is the result of everything it has always been. As soon as the west decided to drop a settler-colonialist state on top of a pre-existing civilization wherein the new immigrants would receive preferential treatment over the indigenous inhabitants who were already living there, it became inevitable that Israel would wind up in the condition it’s in today.


What we are seeing in Gaza today was baked into the state of Israel ever since its inception.


Israel’s supporters avoid confronting obvious truths like these. Support for Israel depends on mass-scale psychological compartmentalization. Everything about it revolves around avoiding unpleasant truths instead of deeply and viscerally reckoning with them. 


Averting the eyes from the video footage of Israel’s atrocities in Gaza. Averting the eyes from the contradictions between the values they purport to hold and everything Israel is as a state. Averting the eyes from the mountains upon mountains of evidence staring us all in the face. That’s the only way support for Israel is able to continue. ... READ MORE

Offending Zionists Is Good, Actually

It is good for evil people who desire evil things to be upset by your words and deeds.

 

British comedian Dawn French was successfully pressured into publicly apologizing for a video she made in opposition to the Gaza holocaust after Israel supporters made a stink claiming she was insensitive to Israel about October 7.


I can’t believe it’s 2025 and people are still worried about offending Zionists. Oh gosh I’d better issue an apology, I’ve upset the people who are cheerleading an active genocide. Better be careful how I word this or I might seem insensitive to people who think it’s fine to bomb hospitals and burn children alive. Oh no I can’t say that because if I do I’ll be in hot water with the “intentionally starving civilians is good” crowd. 


Fuck these freaks. Fuck ’em. ... It is good for evil people who desire evil things to be upset by your words and deeds. The more Israel’s supporters hate you, the more likely it is that you are a decent person. Say what needs saying and wear their outrage as a badge of honor.


Israel killed four journalists in an airstrike on a hospital the other day, and it caused barely a blip in the news cycle. It’s so crazy how this is just normal now.


The behavior of the state of Israel is one nonstop argument against the continued existence of the state of Israel.


Most Israel apologia is just saying ridiculous nonsense in an assertive tone and demanding to be taken seriously. They’re butchering children by the thousands in a completely undisguised effort to purge all Palestinians from a Palestinian territory, and then spouting a bunch of transparently bogus talking points to try and spin this as fine and normal. But because mainstream institutions solemnly promote this obvious bullshit, we’re expected to treat it like it’s a completely valid position that needs to be respected.


There’s no actual basis for the pro-genocide position in truth, logic, or morality. It’s a completely indefensible position, so self-evidently wrong that a child could recognize it at a glance. ...


Seems like a lot of western Jews don’t understand that in the eyes of the average westerner they’re literally just white people. The Jewish people we run into in the west look, speak and act pretty much the same as any other pale-skinned individual in western society, so they’re not othered in the way some races and cultures are. Being Jewish isn’t typically seen as any more remarkable or exotic than being Episcopalian.


...  Western Jews enjoy white privilege and do not encounter the same obstacles that actual oppressed minorities encounter in life, but the tradeoff is that when they try to act like they’re an oppressed minority in order to promote the interests of Israel, ...


There is no antisemitism epidemic in our society. ..READ MORE

The Last Days of Gaza

Chris Hedges Original to ScheerPost

EXCERPTS

 

This is the end. The final blood-soaked chapter of the genocide. It will be over soon. Weeks. At most.


Two million people are camped out amongst the rubble or in the open air. Dozens are killed and wounded daily from Israeli shells, missiles, drones, bombs and bullets. They lack clean water, medicine and food. They have reached a point of collapse. SickInjuredTerrifiedHumiliatedAbandonedDestituteStarvingHopeless.


In the last pages of this horror story, Israel is sadistically baiting starving Palestinians with promises of food, luring them to the narrow and congested nine-mile ribbon of land that borders Egypt. Israel and its cynically named Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), allegedly funded by Israel’s Ministry of Defense and the Mossad, is weaponizing starvation.


It is enticing Palestinians to southern Gaza the way the Nazis enticed starving Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto to board trains to the death camps. ... READ MORE

'We Are Preparing for War' With China 'Threat', Says US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth

EXCERPTS


US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth delivered an extremely hawkish speech in which he demonized China as a “threat” and said, “We are preparing for war”.


“Those who long for peace, must prepare for war. And that’s exactly what we’re doing. We are preparing for war, in order to deter war — to achieve peace through strength”, Hegseth stated.


The top Donald Trump administration official made these aggressive remarks at the Shangri-La Dialogue 2025, a summit held in Singapore on 31 May.


“The threat China poses is real, and it could be imminent. We hope not, but it certainly could be”, Hegseth claimed, indicating that the Pentagon was preparing for a war over Taiwan.
