Only the persistence of a racism so deeply entrenched it seems written into our DNA, combined with the total dominance of Zionist narratives among our politicians, media, and public figures, can explain not only the lack of reaction, but even the absence of any mention of the fact that on September 10, Israel deliberately bombed the offices of two newspapers in Sanaa, assassinating 31 journalists.

On September 10, 2025, another Israeli attack on Yemen's civilian infrastructure struck several sites in the capital, Sanaa, including the offices of the newspapers September 26 and Al-Yaman. The toll was devastating: at least 50 people, among them 31 journalists, were killed, and more than 165 others wounded. And yet, this major war crime has been met with total silence in the West — just as the unprecedented assassination of half of Yemen's government 14 days earlier.

This denial recalls the infamous statement by the French genocidal gutter philosopher Raphaël Enthoven ("There are NO journalists in Gaza. Only killers, combatants, or hostage-takers with press cards."). Far from being an exception, he was simply saying aloud what many analysts and commentators whisper in private. The muted, permissive, and even encouraging reaction to the unprecedented massacre of journalists in Gaza — just like the reaction to the first genocide in history openly acknowledged by its perpetrators and broadcast live day after day — makes this abundantly clear. For our "beautiful Western souls," there are no "journalists" in Yemen, only "Houthi rebels," just as in Gaza there are no "civilians," only (actual or potential) "Hamas members."

The decision follows Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez's pledge to enshrine in law a ban on arms trade with Israel over its offensive in Gaza. On Monday, he also urged Israel's exclusion from international sport.

The Spanish government has cancelled a contract worth nearly €700 million for Israeli-designed rocket launchers, according to an official document seen Monday by Agence France-Presse. The move comes after Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez announced last week that his government would "consolidate in law" a ban on military equipment sales or purchases with Israel over its offensive in Gaza.

The contract, awarded to a consortium of Spanish companies, involved the purchase of 12 SILAM rocket launcher systems derived from the PULS platform made by Israeli firm Elbit Systems, according to the International Institute for Strategic Studies' Military Balance. First reported by local media and the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, the cancellation was formalized on Spain's official public contracts platform on September 9.

The narrative construction of Zionism fundamentally depends on two premises: historical victimization and alleged regional isolation. Both are rhetorical weapons designed to justify Israel's systematic brutality against Palestinians and other native populations of the Middle East. But neither of these narratives holds up under even a minimally honest analysis of the region's current geopolitical reality. The myth of the "tiny State of Israel surrounded by enemies" is one of the greatest fabrications of contemporary Western propaganda.

The idea that Israel is a solitary bastion in a sea of Arab hostility is, today, completely baseless. With few exceptions, countries in the region not only tolerate Israel but actively collaborate with the Zionist regime — including militarily and diplomatically. The supposed regional resistance has evaporated in recent decades, giving way to a policy of normalization and, in many cases, direct submission to Israeli interests.

Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev has once again issued a firm warning to the Western military alliance backing Kiev, saying that if NATO countries begin shooting down Russian drones over Ukraine during the 'special military operation', this will put Moscow at war with NATO.

The words come dangerously after the last week has seen Russian drones allegedly breach Polish and Romanian airspace - both NATO member's along the alliance's 'eastern flank'. Moscow has rejected accusations that it intentionally sent these drones, which were by and large 'decoy' UAVs amid broader drone waves targeting inside Ukraine.

"Seriously, implementing the provocative idea of Kiev and other idiots to create a 'no-fly zone over Ukraine' and allowing NATO countries to down our drones will mean only one thing: NATO's war with Russia," Medvedev wrote on Telegram Monday. He additionally remarked the "powerful European initiative 'Eastern Sentry'" amuses him as it "seems to be all that remains of the 'coalition of the willing'."

The G7's political systems are entering a moment of truth.

France is once again in crisis. Francois Bayrou's government failed to win a vote of confidence in the National Assembly and has resigned. President Emmanuel Macron has promised to quickly propose another candidate. But after calling early elections last spring, he created a parliament with no stable majority. Now he must try to form a cabinet for the third time in little more than a year. If he fails, new elections will follow, and this time not even Macron's usual tricks may save him. Both the far right and the far left have been waiting for this moment, sharpening their teeth for the embattled president for years.

The spectacle in Paris is not unique. It is part of a wider malaise across the political systems of the G7.

In Japan, Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba long insisted he would not step down. Yet his party's losses in two parliamentary elections left him no choice. In Britain, a scandal forced the resignation of the deputy prime minister and left the Labour Party floundering at approval levels no better than the discredited Conservatives. Nigel Farage's Reform Party now leads in the polls. In Germany, Chancellor Friedrich Merz is recording record-low ratings while the anti-establishment Alternative for Germany remains stable at CDU levels.

Italy and Canada are steadier, but barely. Canada's Liberals were rescued not by their own strength but by Donald Trump. His coarse attacks on Ottawa provided a rally-round-the-flag effect, sparing them a near-certain defeat. The result was continuity in power, though with Mark Carney replacing Justin Trudeau. As for the United States itself, the picture is clear enough: Trump's supporters face little resistance. His opponents are simply lying low, waiting for better times.

Each of these cases has local causes, yet together they reveal something larger.

A month before Charlie Kirk's killing, billionaire pro-Israel moneyman Bill Ackman arranged an intervention in the Hamptons during which sources say he and others "hammered" Kirk for the conservative leader's growing criticism of Israeli influence in Washington. Kirk came away fretting about Israeli "blackmail," sources say, as he contemplated a Catholic conversion.

On September 11, one day after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, billionaire pro-Israel moneyman Bill Ackman took to Twitter/X to trumpet his relationship with the late conservative operative. "I feel incredibly privileged to have spent a day and shared a meal with @charliekirk11 this summer. He was a giant of a man."

The Grayzone has spoken to five people with intimate knowledge of Kirk's meeting with Ackman, which was held in early August. According to one source, Kirk was left upset after the gathering turned into an "intervention" where he was "hammered" for his increasingly skeptical views on the US special relationship with Israel, and for platforming prominent conservative critics of Israel at his TPUSA events.

Since publishing this report, The Grayzone has learned from one attendee of the Hamptons event that Ackman convened the influencers under the auspices of a discussion about Zohran Mamdani and the supposed threat he posed to the West if elected mayor of New York. But the meeting went off the rails when Ackman personally confronted Kirk about his views on Israel. The public face of UK Lawyers for Israel, Natasha Hausdorff, joined in the argument, and began "screaming" at Kirk, according to the attendee.

The strike on the Hamas negotiating team assembled in Doha to discuss the 'Witkoff Gaza proposal' is not just another 'IDF operation' to be passed over silently (as with the de-capitation of almost the entire civilian cabinet in Yemen).

It marks rather, the end to an entire era - and "a new reality" for Qatar.

It's a landmark event. For decades, Qatar has played a very profitable game - supporting the radical An-Nusra jihadists in Syria as a lever against Iran, while maintaining American military bases and a strategic partnership with Washington. Doha presented itself as a mediator - dining with the jihadists whilst acting as a Mossad facilitator.

It was this multi-directional approach that gave Qatar the reputation of being the 'eternal beneficiary' in Middle Eastern crises and in Afghanistan. Even when Israel, Iran, or Saudi Arabia were under attack, Doha came out ahead. The Qataris calmly counted the profits from their gas and enjoyed the role of indispensable intermediaries.

Now this fairy tale is over: There will be no more 'safe zones'. Most tellingly, the U.S. (reported Israeli Channel 11) had approved the action about which Trump was then informed. Despite questioning the attack, Trump said he applauded any killing of Hamas members.

We should have seen this coming. The Doha attack was yet another Trump-Israel sneak attack - a pattern that began with the sneak strike on the Hizbullah leadership assembling to discuss a U.S. peace initiative - a methodology then was copied for the Iranian de-capitation operation of 13 June, just as Trump touted JCPOA talks with the Witkoff team commencing in the days ahead.

And now, with Trump's Gaza 'peace proposal' handed as bait to gather the Hamas leaders together in one place in Doha, Israel struck. Witkoff's Gaza plan looks a mockery; or else a deliberate feint. For Israel had already decided to end the Qatari role.

Israeli logic is fundamentally simple and cynical - regardless of how many American bases you have or how important your gas is to the global economy. The killing of Ismail Haniya in Tehran, the strikes on Syria and Lebanon, the operation in Qatar - all are links to one chain: Netanyahu (and a majority in Israel is behind him in this) methodically demonstrates that there are no forbidden territories; no rules of law; no Vienna Convention for him in the Middle East.

The support for Israel's genocide and ethnic cleansing; the failure to make any serious effort to prepare a political path for a settlement on Ukraine; the reliance instead on making war, whilst proclaiming peace - all these represent the essence of the Trump approach: An exercise of escalatory dominance, both at home and abroad.

I had the pleasure of appearing on Charlie Kirk's program a few times over the years and I always found him to be polite, respectful, and genuinely interested in ideas. Even in areas where we might not have agreed, he listened carefully. He was a strong advocate of free speech and he made a career of trying to convince the youth of the value of free speech and dialogue regardless of political differences.

At the young age of 31 years old, he had already founded and ran the largest conservative youth organization in the country and as such he had enormous influence over the future of the conservative movement and even the Republican party. As I discovered during my Republican presidential runs, the youth of this country are truly inspired by the ideas of liberty, peace, and prosperity.

I do not believe we have anything near the real story about the horrific murder of Charlie Kirk last week. The narrative presented by the FBI and other government agencies is wildly contradictory, with an ever-changing plotline that makes little sense.

A team of independent experts commissioned by the United Nations' Human Rights Council has concluded that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, issuing a report Tuesday that calls on the international community to end the genocide and take steps to punish those responsible for it.

The deeply documented findings by the three-member team are the latest accusations of genocide against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government as Israel carries on with its war in Gaza, which has killed tens of thousands of people. Israel rejected what it called a "distorted and false" report.

The Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory and Israel, which was created four years ago, has repeatedly documented alleged human rights abuses and violations in Gaza since the deadly Oct. 7, 2023, attacks in Israel led by Hamas, and other Palestinian areas.

While neither the commission nor the 47-member-country council that it works for within the U.N. system can take action against a country, the findings could be used by prosecutors at the International Criminal Court or the U.N.'s International Court of Justice.

The FBI's No. 2 man said Monday he suspects Charlie Kirk's alleged killer, Tyler Robinson, could have been "aided and abetted'' by an "extended network'' — alluding to "multiple warning signs" he gave leading up to the assassination.

As The Post reported Sunday, law enforcement was already probing whether pro-trans online groups, sexualized animal-obsessed "furries" and others connected with Robinson had advance knowledge of his alleged murderous plans.

The groups include communities on the online gaming platform Steam, as well as Armed Queers SLC, which took down its Instagram page after Kirk was murdered.

But now, FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino suggested that the feds are casting an even wider net — scrutinizing whether anyone in the crowd, including possibly the TikTokker who was asking Kirk a question at the moment of his murder, knew anything about the plot.
