Perhaps nothing highlights the surreal & perverse symbiosis of US-Israeli alliance as the US recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel & the Golan Heights as the territory of Israel. It’s as meaningless as me declaring myself empress of the universe. Except that the US & Israel are engaged in genocide against the Palestinian people.
“Why does Israel need USA to recognise it’s sovereignty over Golan Heights? I don’t need Mr. Trump to convince me and people around me that this cellphone belongs to me unless it doesn’t.”

“One day I lost 6 Euros. After realizing I’ll never get it back, I convinced myself that if silly Billy Muhammad Tawhidi can lose his brain, get thrown out of school, self appoint himself an Imam , go brainsick and still live with it, I can also. Don’t mind. He’s Al-Fitnah (Trouble maker ) and pure evil.”

“Those who called for an end to Indo-Pak war whereas turning a blind eye to the violence that’s being unleashed upon Kashmiris by both of the state’s are not pacifists but hypocrites of highest order.”
–Zachriah Sulayman
“A house has been set ablaze by the forces during the cordon and search operation in the area,” Locals alleged.

A good article, in Forbes of all places, on why Kashmir has a right to self-determination.

Sajid Mizher, a 17-year-old volunteer paramedic wearing a clearly marked vest was shot & killed by Israeli occupying forces in Bethlehem, West Bank. The Israeli military calls itself “the most moral army in the world” while it engages in genocide.
May young Sajid Rest In Peace.

Pellet gun victims in Kashmir, many of whom were not involved in protests & many who are children: there was more political furor over a single suicide bomber attack than over the thousands who have been blinded, disfigured, disabled by pellet guns. There needs to be an international campaign against their use or they will spread like the use of water cannons against protesters.
According to the latest report on Pellet Gun Victims in the Kashmir Valley, 59.3% of the victims suffered from visual impairment of various degrees while 36.7% ending up with severe blindness.
Whether Russia did or whether it did not, meddling in US elections is not Russia’s greatest crime. Bombing civilians in Syria is Russia’s greatest crime & when you scratch beneath the surface of all this gloating over the conclusions of the Mueller investigation it’s all about defense of Russia’s military intervention in Syria to defend the Assad dictatorship.
