Ehud Barak, former Prime Minister, speaking at Herzliya conference, published June 22, 2017.
"No one is happy with 60 people killed. Even six is six too many if they are not involved in terror activities. Some of them probably were but most of them probably not," said former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak in a lengthy interview in the Guardian last week.

That seems to be quite an admission concerning Israel's killing of more than 60 Palestinian protesters in Gaza on May 14th. Let's look at that paragraph with great scrutiny, it contains various crucial elements that require a fuller understanding:

Israel has continuously stated that it would never accept any Iranian military presence Syria, whereas Tehran insists it only has military advisers in the Arab Republic.

"We will continue to act against [Iran's] intention to establish a military presence in Syria opposite us, not just opposite the Golan Heights but anywhere in Syria," Netanyahu said.

Next week Israel's prime minister is heading for Germany, France and the UK to hold talks with these countries' leaders. "I will present them with the latest strategic developments in our region, which are connected to the efforts to halt Iranian aggression in Syria and elsewhere," Netanyahu noted.

Washington has warned New Delhi that procurement of Russian advanced military systems may jeopardize defense cooperation and technology sharing between the US and India, as well as "interoperability" between their armed forces.

"There is a lot of concern in the US administration and Congress with the S-400," House Armed Services Committee chairman Mac Thornberry told India's Economic Times daily, urging New Delhi not to rush and carefully consider all potential consequences of purchasing advanced Russian weapons. "There is concern that any country that acquires the system will complicate the ability of interoperability (with US forces)."

"The acquisition of this technology will limit, I am afraid, the degree with which the United States will feel comfortable in bringing additional technology into whatever country we are talking about," Thornberry said in a separate interview with NDTV.

Comment: Seems like the only consequence would be India getting away from American imperial control and closer to Russia who has no interest in controlling Indian politics like the US does. What a bummer for India!

US President Donald Trump infamously called his Syrian counterpart 'animal Assad' in one of his tweets. When asked whether he has a nickname for Trump, Assad told RT he does not use such language.

"This is not my language, so, I cannot use similar language. This is his language. It represents him," Bashar Assad said in an exclusive interview with RT, which will be shown in full on Thursday at 11:30am GMT.

"I think there is a very known principle, that what you say is what you are. So, he wanted to represent what he is, and that's normal," he added.

Israel intelligence minister denies Hamas claims of ceasefire amid largest spike in tensions in years

This latest exchange of fire between Israel and Hamas has been the largest since 2014.

Previously, Hamas's deputy chief in Gaza Khalil al-Hayya stated that "a number of mediators intervened in the past hours and an agreement was reached to return to a ceasefire in Gaza."

The reports about the termination of the fire exchange have also started to appear in the Arabian media, such as Al Jazeera.

However, the information contradicts the statement by Israeli Intelligence Minister Yisrael Katz, who denied ceasefire claims by Hamas.

Comment: The mapof IDF strikes is a joke. For starters, the Palestinians have no 'navel weapons'. When was the last time Israel complained their navy was under attack? And Hamas has 'anti-aircraft weapons'? No one but a delusional Zionist would believe the nonsense the IDF is spewing. Notice how the retaliation is made. Missiles launched from IDF fighter jets. Palestine doesn't have an air force. The IDF is shooting fish in a barrel and puffing themselves up over it. . The terrifying rockets Hamas launches at Israel

Kicked out of Hungary, George Soros continues international meddling: Backing 2nd Brexit referendum bid

US-Hungarian Billionaire philanthropist George Soros faces new accusations of interfering in British politics after announcing he's supporting a bid to push for a second Brexit referendum within a year.

Speaking during a summit organized by the European Council of Foreign Relations think tank, the US-Hungarian financier said that the EU is facing an "existential crisis," but that Britons should nonetheless be given the chance to vote again on any final Brexit deal and whether to stay in the EU on current terms.

Soros has been heavily criticized over his donations of over £800,000 ($1,062,000) to pro-EU campaigns. The pledges included £400,000 to Best for Britain, a campaign group founded by Gina Miller, who successfully defeated the government over its triggering of Article 50 - the letter officially kicking off the Brexit process - without parliamentary consent.

Comment: Negating Brexit has been a major goal for Soros, ever since ordinary British people rose up and declared for themselves. His goal is the undermining the sovereignty of individual nations, in favor of the unelected cabal that runs the EU.

The Trump paradox: He may be a 'liar', but he actually keeps his promises - that's why his supporters trust him

The mainstream media continue to obsess about what they describe as President Donald Trump's war on truth.

CNN has built an entire branding campaign, "Facts First," around the idea that Trump is "pushing conspiracy theories" and "lying to the American people." The Washington Post has kept a running tally of what it says are over three thousand "false or misleading claims so far" by President Trump since he took office on January 20, 2017.

This line of attack has opened the mainstream media up to criticism, both from Trump and the public, for two reasons.

One is that the mainstream media themselves are guilty of pushing "fake news" on a daily basis - false stories or exaggerations that almost always err on the side of liberals against conservatives. The other is that the same media not only ignored but actively defended many of Barack Obama's lies during his eight years in office.

In addition, the media have broadened the definition of "lies" to include things Trump says that are actually true, at least in part, or which are at least defensible opinion.


Comment: And worse, they don't call him out for the lies that actually matter: WaPo Outraged That Trump Lies About Everything That Doesn't Matter


The most prominent example is the ongoing controversy about "Spygate." Last March, the media said that Trump was lying when he said that Obama had his "wires tapped" (with the "air quotes"). But more and more evidence has emerged to support Trump's claims of improper surveillance.

Still, there is no denying that Trump sometimes distorts the truth. I first flagged this problem long before Trump had been elected, in my 2016 book See No Evil: 19 Hard Truths the Left Can't Handle.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov will visit North Korea on May 31 to discuss the situation on the peninsula. It follows Pyongyang's landmark demolition of its nuclear test site last week.

The Russian top official will meet his North Korean counterpart to discuss bilateral relations and pressing international issues, the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

Speaking at the Primakov Readings international think tank summit in Moscow on Wednesday, Lavrov said that multilateral talks on the North Korean issue will help settle the crisis in the region. According to the foreign minister, denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula should be accompanied "by mechanisms to ensure peace and stability throughout Northeast Asia."

Comment: As usual, Russia is picking up responsibilities that the United States is unable and unwilling to handle.

Tehran wants to sue Washington for its indirect involvement in dual terrorist attacks in Iran last year, claiming that the president himself repeatedly admitted the US is responsible for the rise of the terrorist group.

During his election campaign, US President Donald Trump repeatedly accused his predecessor's administration - in particular, Democratic Party rival and former Secretary of State Hilary Clinton - of creating Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS).

"Hillary Clinton created ISIS with Obama," Trump told his supporters in January 2016. In a CBS 60 Minutes interview that aired July 17, 2016, he reiterated: "Hillary Clinton invented ISIS with her stupid policies."

UK businessman William Browder was briefly detained in Spain on a Russian arrest warrant. Browder, wanted by Moscow for fraud, tweeted the news from the back of a Spanish police car.

"In the back of the Spanish police car going to the station on the Russian arrest warrant. They won't tell me which station," Browder tweeted.


A Spanish National Police spokeswoman confirmed that Browder was detained on Wednesday morning in Madrid and taken to a police station to check on the arrest warrant, but said that police determined the order was no longer valid.

Browder posted a follow-up after he was released.

Comment: The net is closing on Browder. Soon he'll be confined to London or Israel.
