Posted in respect to the toughness & intransigence of Palestinians after 69 years of struggle against colonialism, ethnic cleansing, apartheid, carpet bombing, occupation, & being vilified as terrorists, without surrendering to superior military force.

Long live Palestinian Intifada. Palestine will be free.

Max Blumenthal who tried to build his career off the backs of Palestinians, is now chasing honoraria on Assadist circuits & fame on Fox News defending Putin. Give him a few years, he’ll be doing Infowars, Global Research, Consortium News, Counterpunch, & will be a regular on Fox News. Tucker Carlson talks the same game. His trajectory is not good but it is a well-trodden path shysters before him have taken.

Now pitiful Max has tweeted objections to The Syria Campaign raising funds for medical facilities in Idlib, Syria. Last August, an MSF/Doctors Without Borders hospital in Idlib was completely destroyed by Syrian or Russian bombers & in April of this year they destroyed two more hospitals in the region. A principle of international law is the neutrality of medical facilities, including hospitals, clinics, field hospitals, medical personnel, & ambulances–although that is flouted habitually by US forces in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, & elsewhere, by Israel in Gaza, & by Syria, Russia & the US in Syria.

If smug & smarmy Max has objections to providing medical care to the 165,000 civilians being bombed to smithereens within the Idlib district, he should take it up the Geneva Conventions & see if he can persuade them to legitimize barbarism. Otherwise he should stfu.
