One wonders how such a Palestinian state can possibly exist, when its potential members are being assassinated and starved to death daily, 24/7.

 UN Security Council to Hold Contentious Vote on Palestinian Statehood

Friday will witness another Gaza-related showdown in a very divided United Nations Security Council, as council member Algeria has prepared a draft resolution for the body recognize a Palestinian state.

It would require nine votes and no vetoes on the part of the US, Britain, France, Russia or China in order to pass - which means it won't happen, given the US as a close ally of Israel is expected to surely block it. The plan ultimately seeks to bestow on Palestine full UN membership status.

Looking ahead to the vote, US Ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield said Wednesday: "We do not see that doing a resolution in the Security Council will necessarily get us to a place where we can find ... a two-state solution moving forward."

The US position has long been that a Palestinian state must be born out direct negotiations between the Israelis and Palestinians, and not accomplished superficially within an external forum like the UN.

Israel has clearly rejected that it will allow for a Palestinian state so long as Hamas still exists, and PM Netanyahu has even linked the more secular-leaning Palestinian Authority in the West Bank to 'terrorism'. He has also rejected a prior US call to allow the PA to take over and administer the Gaza Strip. The reality is that the current Gaza war makes the prospect of achieving a Palestinian state more distant than ever.

There's Something Very Bizarre About What Was Just Discovered.. (Secret Mystery On Mountain)

Image
 Apparently, a rare event occurred in California just two days ago—a tornado tore through a shopping center in Scott Valley, an unusual phenomenon for the region, as tornadoes are extremely uncommon in California. While this alone is a compelling story, it leads to something even more intriguing. The tornado not only caused damage to the shopping center but also led to the closure of a specific road: Mount Hermon Road. This detail caught attention, especially considering a recent unrelated event involving Mount Hermon. Just a week ago, news emerged of Israel taking control of Mount Hermon from Syria. The coincidence of these two events—one involving a rare tornado in California and the other a significant geopolitical development in the Middle East—adds a layer of curiosity to the story. It raises questions about the name connection and the unusual alignment of events occurring within such a short time frame.

Sen. Tom Cotton Presses Pentagon to Preserve Records on Border Wall Material Sales

Image
Republican Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) has sent a formal request to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin demanding that the Department of Defense (DoD) preserve records related to the sale of unused border wall materials. Cotton’s letter comes amid growing scrutiny over the Biden administration's decision to auction off these materials at low prices, a move that has sparked political controversy ahead of President-elect Donald Trump’s anticipated second term. Background on the Issue The Biden administration halted construction of the U.S. southern border wall upon taking office. Last year, Congress authorized the disposal of unused border wall materials under the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) . Since then, the administration has been selling the materials through auctions, often at significantly reduced prices. This decision has faced backlash from Republicans who view the sale as an attempt to undermine border security policies. Cotton’s Requests In his letter, Cotton urged...
