Mr. Mahmoud Abbas presented an eloquent speech at the UNGA and got applauded. Thanks to whoever is his speech writer. By contrast, war criminal and genocide lord Netanyahu was almost a persona non grata at the UN. Most delegates of countries chose not to attend or walked out as he walked in (he had brought a few racist Zionists to attend as audience and to cheer him). But these are side shows to an ongoing GENOCIDE. We live ina world where only strength seems understood and the UN has become a hollow chamber where politicians meet to state their positions and the US and great powers continue supporting genocide. Only thing challenging them is non-state actors (guerrilla forces/liberation movements). Abbas will need to do something different than what he was willing to do for the past 15 years: 1) end corruption (starting with his office then the foreign service then down the line, 2) stop hanging on to the golden chair and to the illusion of Oslo, 3) really implement reconciliation and joint work with Hamas and other resistance forces. That would mean no longer holding on to a dictatorial role of deciding the future of the Palestinian struggle by himself while promoting the most incompetent and corrupt people to positions of power. Democracy and transparency are non-negotiable.

Protecting nature in Palestine
This is Zionism, this is "Israel" Israel shut down Al-Jazeera offices and ripped off pictures of its reporter (US citizen) Shireen Abu Aqla and continues to help the Saudi "AlArabiya" channel spout Zionist propaganda
Matt Nelson just died after setting himself on fire (third person to do so to protest US support of genocide).
