Why are they not keeping the peace in Ukraine

I need to return to enjoying my music for which I am told I have a good ear for noticing music picking the Rolling Stones; Eric Clapton´s first records for being famous + many more and Rihanna´s first CD c2007/2008 when I was diagnosed with cancer. About that time a lady from UA dreams Donetsk (UA Dreams) wrote to me and we corresponded for about 18 months before she moved to Germany. I warned her then about the Russians when they invaded Georgia

Hope that history rights itself and that there will be love and peace in the world: those breaking it will meet their karma before they bring their tyranny to the peace lovers of this world

#Israel - Alex Gibney on "The Bibi Files," Netanyahu's Corruption Case & How Endless War Keeps Him in Power: Democracy Now

17 December 2024

As the official death toll in Gaza tops 45,000 and Israel's wars throughout the Middle East continue, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is in court for a long-awaited corruption trial, making him the country's first sitting leader to face criminal charges.

He is charged with fraud, breach of trust and accepting bribes in three separate cases. For more on this extraordinary case, we speak with acclaimed filmmaker Alex Gibney, whose latest documentary The Bibi Files features leaked behind-the-scenes footage of police interrogations of Netanyahu, his wife and those accused of bribing him.

The film has been banned in Israel, and Netanyahu even tried unsuccessfully to stop it from screening at the Toronto International Film Festival, but Gibney says it is being widely shared inside Israel through unofficial channels.

"Strictly speaking, this is a film about corruption," Gibney tells Democracy Now! "It starts with petty corruption — being bribed with gifts and cigars, champagne, jewelry — but then the ultimate corruption is how he's tried to elude a reckoning for his misdeeds, and in so doing, he wraps himself in the mantle of prime minister and then wages endless war."

In an interview with Middle East Eye, Marwan Muasher, Jordan’s former foreign minister, says that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s idea of Arab states accepting Israel amid ongoing tensions in the region is unrealistic.

Muasher said that the “Zionist project” is failing to fulfil its promise of a democratic and peaceful Jewish state and that “Israel is increasingly undemocratic,” peaceful, or secular. He also argued that the only way for peace is for Israel to end its occupation.
