People are continuously involved in calling out the Israeli attacks on Gaza: States and Governments not so.

It appears that solutions will come from people only.  The large Freedom Flotilla is stocking up before departing on the last leg of the journey to Gaza.  At this count there are over 50 boats.  “The Sumud Flotilla is arriving in Tunis, from where dozens of boats will sail to the devastated Gaza Strip to break the siege. All eyes must be on them, to protect their mission of Humanity.”  The featured image is Tunis, where the people are out in the street supporting the Sumid Flotilla.

These are questions that are asked and this is from Vanessa Beeley.  The response is from a well-respected Russian channel, East Calling.  It was again a surprise when Maria Zaharova presented her last spokeswoman update, a very long update and a look at the upcoming UN General Assembly meeting, and there was no word about Gaza and the war against Palestinians.  https://mid.ru/ru/press_service/spokesman/briefings/2044875/?lang=en#:~:text=The%2080th%20session,just%20polycentric%20world.   

Despite the efforts to drown out the wholesale slaughter and killing of the Palestinians, it remains the moral issue of our day.

From Vanessa Beeley:

Question: To what extent do Russia and China [and BRICS nations] factor the survival of Palestine and the Arab identity, history and culture into their “RealPolitik”? I am not talking about “Two State Solution” statements or hollow condemnations of the Zionist entity’s genocidal and expansionist policies – I am talking about inclusivity of those nations in policy considerations, economic boycott of “Israel” etc. I am also not considering Arab Gulf states or Abraham Accord nations in the equation. They have already betrayed their own people as they were designed to do (KSA, UAE, Qatar etc).

Iran is included in the Resistance Axis

Under International law, Genocide Convention etc etc, all BRICS should be, at the very least, ending all trade with the genocidal entity [Iran is already doing so].

Beyond the obvious neighbours and India fingered by Netanyahu, there are other BRICS+ ‘blessors’ (as end-times allies of Netanyahu self-describe) witnessed in this ten-point (partial) catalogue of how war and profits make for unfortunate bedfellows:

Russia is the #1 coal supplier to the genocide and South Africa #2 now that Colombia and Turkey have declared Boycott Divestment Sanctions BDS against Israel;
Brazil supplies 9% of Israel’s oil while Russia operates the main shipping export terminal for one of the largest oil suppliers (Kazakhstan), and as Michael Karadjis points out, “Israel imports a small but regular amount of oil from its BRICS neighbour Egypt, via Sidi Kerir, near Alexandria, the terminus of the SUMED pipeline. Oil from BRICS members United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, as well as Iraq, also feeds into this pipeline”;
In both South Africa and Brazil, leading officials have openly bragged in recent weeks that they will not impose coal and oil sanctions on Israel, with the latter’s defense minister also opposing potential cancellation of military cooperation with Tel Aviv-based Elbit Systems (currently ‘paused’);
India supplies vital military equipment for use in Gaza, the West Bank and now Lebanon, including Adani-Elbit’sdeadly medium-altitude, long-endurance (‘male’)drones;
the two main parts of Israel’s main port – at Haifa – were privatised in recent years by Shanghai International Port Group and Adani, facilitating more efficient supply of weapons and ammo to the IDF;
Chinese-Israeli trade hit a recent record of $20 bn/annum, including $14.4 billion of exports to Israel (#1 in the world in 2022) – in spite of December 2023 claims that Chinese Cosco ships would avoid Israeli ports (a stance reversed in February);
India is the #5 trader with Israel at nearly $5 billion;
The normalisation of Arab-Israeli trade continues, e.g. a recent wartime 5% increase in UAE-Israeli commerce – thanks to increasingly crucial transshipment services following Houthi disruptions to Red Sea shipping – featuring co-U.S. sub-imperial powers Egypt, UAE and Saudi Arabia, as Netanyahu himself bragged when applauding the new land route;
South African arms dealer Ivor Ichikowitz (the ruling party’s leading campaign contributor a year ago, and a tireless pro-Israel propagandist this year) operates a military joint venture with Elbit Systems, has a Tel Aviv office and runs an “Ichikowitz Family International Tefillin Bank” supplying the Israel Defense Forces;
Thousands of migrants from Ethiopia, and hundreds from India, now serve as IDF-employed draftees or mercenaries, alongside an unknown number of South African citizens, and what may be as many as tens of thousands of Russians, because there are, as Brazilian journalist Pepe Escobar conceded, “one million plus Russian passport holders or double passport holders who live in Israel. This is a very very complicated affair because according to the Russian Constitution, Russia has to protect them. The fact that many of these are hardcore Zionist and with a genocidal mentality makes the problem even more unsolvable…”

“Big politics” does not justify support of an entity that is committing genocide and expanding into sovereign territory unlawfully.

Response from East Calling:

Dear Vanessa,

I’m not an official (https://t.me/jharnous/8990?comment=1861) of any of the countries listed. I can only express my opinion. These countries are doing everything they can right now.

Russia’s main efforts are aimed at conducting the SMO, Iran is recovering from its loss of influence in the region, China never directly interferes in conflicts, and they are now experiencing serious economic problems.

The main thing is that the US is helping israel, and israel has nuclear weapons, which they will 100% use when they understand that they are losing. And this will lead to World War III.

Just don’t think that Russia and Iran are not helping Palestine. There are simply events that are not usually discussed publicly.

This is big politics.

This is a typical Russian response to any questions, as Vanessa asked.  Bolded is the idea that China is experiencing economic problems, and as we know, that is probably not the correct view.

It is still an unacceptable situation that the Killing Of Palestinians is called out strongly at the UN Security Council but nothing material is done.  We’ve had rumors that there is a process that the UNSC could follow, which will allow intervention from other countries.  I have however not seen real evidence that this is in the planning.  In the meantime Israel has prohibited their cabinet members to speak to the press and everything inside of Gaza is now completely hidden by Netanyahu decree.

People are asking for a Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions policy, and very few in the world adhere to anything like this, and yet, it is the easiest of all to implement.
