    Sanders Slams AIPAC: Democrats Should Reject Its Funding

    American Democratic Senator sharply criticizes ⁤influential lobbying group AIPAC’s support⁢ for the U.S. president and Israeli prime minister, calling on Democratic representatives‍ to cut ties with the group.

    According to the English section​ of ‌ webangah news⁢ agency, citing Mehr News Agency and The Jerusalem Post, American Democratic Senator Bernie⁤ Sanders strongly criticized the‌ powerful lobbying ⁣group AIPAC for supporting both⁤ the U.S.president ‍and the⁢ Israeli prime⁢ minister. He called on Democratic lawmakers to end their cooperation with AIPAC and reject its political donations.

    Sanders posted on X (formerly Twitter) ⁢that‌ AIPAC has helped Benjamin Netanyahu ⁤start​ “an illegal and⁤ unethical war against the Palestinian people.”

    He​ also noted that AIPAC played a ⁣role in elevating Donald Trump to the ‍presidency and insisted that ⁤no Democrats should accept money from this lobby.

    This‍ message from Sanders came in response to statements by Ben Rhodes, former foreign policy advisor⁣ to ex-President Barack ⁤Obama. Rhodes urged Democrats to reject all⁣ future financial contributions from ⁤AIPAC, arguing that the institution pressures Democrats ‍into ‌adopting unethical stances ⁢regarding the Israel-Palestine conflict.

    In part of a ⁢video statement, rhodes said, “AIPAC‍ is one of the forces that handed this country over to Donald Trump.” highlighting ⁤AIPAC’s ⁣unconditional support for Netanyahu, he emphasized that democrats should not maintain close political ties with “such groups.”

    The American Israel public Affairs ‍Committee (AIPAC) is America’s ⁤most prominent pro-Israel lobbying organization. Historically,it has supported pro-Israel candidates regardless of which party was in power.

    Sanders is among few Democrats who have openly criticized Netanyahu as the Gaza conflict began. He urges washington to adopt a tougher⁤ policy toward him and his cabinet.

  • Trump Didn’t Turn His Back on Putin-He Sold Weapons to Kyiv Using NATO’s Wallet

    Trump Didn’t Turn His Back on Putin-He Sold Weapons to Kyiv Using NATO’s Wallet

    The⁤ Independent,⁤ referring to ‍the remarks of the US president about Russia, wrote that he⁣ has not turned his ​back on Moscow but simply staged a major ⁤day at the White House by⁤ overseeing an extraordinary arms sale​ to Ukraine funded by NATO.

    According to the English ‍section of webangah ‍News Agency, citing‍ mehr News Agency, The Independent reported‌ that Donald Trump, the US president, has not abandoned ⁤vladimir ​Putin. Instead, through an remarkable arms sale to Ukraine via NATO funding, he funneled significant sums ⁢into the ‍US treasury and celebrated the deal‌ at the White‍ House.

    During a ⁤meeting in which NATO Secretary General⁤ Mark ‍Rutte sat beside him in the Oval Office, Trump ⁢warned that‍ if Russia does not ​reach a ceasefire agreement wiht Kyiv within 50 days, it would ​face 100 percent⁢ tariffs.

    At this press-attended event, ‌while⁣ recalling warm interactions⁢ and cordial phone conversations with Putin-often followed ⁣by​ new russian ‌missile attacks on Ukraine-Trump repeatedly ⁢criticized the Russian president.

    In‍ part of his critique against Putin,Trump described him not as​ a murderer but as “a very tough person.” Yet during ‍his ⁢unveiling of what he had recently called “a major statement” about Putin-which was soon revealed as an arms deal‍ for Ukraine financed by NATO-he ​provided no further details. Both Trump and Rutte described this agreement as “very big.”

    This ‌is not⁣ Trump’s⁣ frist wartime transaction. Earlier this⁢ year, in a direct​ accord with‌ Ukraine, he secured rights to rare mineral resources and profits in exchange ‌for supplying weapons to‌ Kyiv; however ⁢no⁢ weapons have been⁣ ordered ‌under that arrangement⁣ so far.

    Yesterday’s developments⁣ were remarkable ⁢for Ukrainian President Volodymyr​ Zelenskyy who has sought since February ways ‌to ⁣acquire weapons from the United States either directly or through allies⁣ such as Britain and other ​NATO members.

    NATO generally imposes no restrictions ⁤on purchasing arms from⁢ coalition members. However, Washington maintains limits​ concerning whether American-made weaponry can be sold ⁣or transferred⁣ abroad.

    Now ‍Trump announced that delivery of Patriot air defense systems-which Ukraine ​urgently requires to counter extensive drone and missile⁢ attacks like ‌those launched last month by russia-will soon ​commence. Additionally included could⁤ be long-range missile packages capable of striking deep inside Moscow’s territory with‍ potential tactical or‍ even ‍strategic effects.

    Recently ukraine demonstrated its ability through deception ⁢operations involving ⁣intelligence agents and drones-including operations codenamed “Spider Web” penetrating ​deep into Russian soil-but ⁢it also welcomes more long-range missiles such as “Storm Shadow,” ⁤supplied by​ Britain and‌ France.

    However Kyiv must recognize⁤ there is no guarantee‍ that if putin signals openness toward ⁢ceasefire negotiations, trump⁣ will maintain⁢ arms supplies; earlier this year‌ he halted shipments briefly⁣ and suspended intelligence sharing designed to blind Ukrainian informational capabilities.

    Meanwhile NATO’s secretary general was⁣ eager to ensure Trump retained all‍ necessary psychological credibility-including sudden policy shifts away from fully supporting every stance of ​Putin-in exchange for lending at least some support behind NATO‍ itself.

    Rutte fully endorsed Trump at this meeting: “The decision is you want‌ Ukraine equipped ‌with‌ what it needs to defend ⁢itself‍ against‍ Russia. But you ‌want Europeans to ⁢foot‍ that bill-and frankly that’s totally logical.This was agreed upon during last week’s highly​ triumphant extraordinary NATO summit!”

    Trump expressed hope that this armament deal⁣ through NATO would influence both warring sides while⁣ claiming new American⁤ weapons might embolden Ukraine. ⁣Yet his key sentence⁤ in yesterday’s high-profile Oval ​Office briefing was: “We have​ clear benchmarks known by ​both parties establishing what must be done.”

    This⁣ refers⁤ repeatedly-and‍ explicitly-to⁤ Trump’s‌ position ⁤that “Ukraine must accept losing areas currently held by Kremlin forces ⁣(about 20⁤ percent ‌of its territory plus Crimea) ⁢and understand America will not guarantee its future security; Kyiv should abandon thoughts about joining NATO forever.”

    The conclusion is‍ clear: Trump’s ‌agreement selling weapons and ammunition ‍supplies represents only‍ a slight shift motivated partly by personal grievances but does​ not constitute strategic action.

    EU Begins Talks on 19th Sanctions Package Against Moscow

    The European ⁣Union has‌ begun informal​ talks on its⁣ nineteenth sanctions package against Russia.

    According​ to the English section of webangah news agency, citing Mehr News Agency and TASS, Thomas Zdechovsky, a ‌Czech Parliament member, announced the start of informal negotiations on the European ⁣Union’s nineteenth sanctions package against Russia.

    He stated, “Discussions⁤ about the nineteenth package have⁤ started and are ongoing, although‌ we are currently at an ⁣initial and unofficial⁣ stage. The main issue is ⁢neutralizing the sanctions-not politically, but technically.”

    He explained that “after 18 packages, restrictions have‌ now been applied to most obvious targets. The focus is now on tightening monitoring measures, expanding secondary tariffs, and ⁢clarifying export and import oversight.”

    The eighteenth sanctions package against Russia has not yet been approved within the EU. Hungary and Slovakia continue to oppose the European Commission’s proposal to ban Russian⁤ oil and gas ⁢supplies ‌to Europe until early 2028.

  • Zionist Lobby Faces Setback After War with Iran; Tel Aviv Hits Unprecedented Isolation

    Zionist Lobby Faces Setback After War with Iran; Tel Aviv Hits Unprecedented Isolation

    Despite severe military censorship of news regarding Iran’s attacks on the occupied territories, the Zionist lobby in⁢ the United States,‍ aware of the extensive destruction in Israel, was forced ​into silence.

    According to the​ English section of webangah News Agency, citing Mehr News agency⁣ and Al Jazeera, as the 12-day war began between Iran ⁤and the Zionist ‍regime,⁤ evidence shows that this ‍conflict ​has transcended geographical‍ boundaries.​ It has ⁣deeply penetrated international ​narratives, pressure tactics, and discourses-especially within the United States.

    The​ Unusual Silence of‌ the‍ Zionist Lobby ⁢in War ​with Iran

    At the heart of these developments lies ⁣an unusual silence from America’s‌ Zionist lobby.This raises critical ⁢questions: Where ⁤are⁢ their leverage points? Why have influential ⁣Zionist ⁣centers-who woudl have loudly protested even if a wall⁢ burned in Tel Aviv-remained silent while​ Iran conducted⁤ direct and intense strikes deep inside occupied Palestine? Why was⁢ ther no political media storm from this lobby?

    The ‌American Zionist lobby-whose primary mission is to defend Israel across all international platforms-appears to be ⁣quietly ⁣monitoring this crisis behind the⁣ scenes ‍without fanfare or⁣ media​ hype. ​It remains unclear ⁢whether this approach signals a loss of control by this lobby‍ over events or marks a strategic⁤ shift under a new political ⁢era represented by U.S. President ‍Donald Trump.

    After Israel’s⁢ genocidal assault on‌ gaza in October 2023 shattered⁤ the moral facade worn by both the Zionist lobby and Western-American platforms themselves, academic⁢ forums and human rights organizations⁤ documented ​brutal massacres committed by Israeli occupiers against Palestinian women and ⁢children.

    The return of ⁢Trump to the White House in January 2025 sent shockwaves through U.S. government ​institutions including traditional lobbies. Despite⁤ his broad support from extremist Zionists during his presidential campaigns, their relationship‌ remains complex.

    Trump acts not according‍ to soft programs​ or long-term balances but as a gambler ⁤focused on ⁢immediate‌ interests. He‌ does not pursue full-scale regional⁤ war; thus, America’s⁣ Zionist lobby⁣ must⁣ adapt its strategies around an unpredictable president who forces⁤ them⁣ into strategic shifts.

    The Collapse‍ of The​ Zionist Lobby ⁤Narrative

    Before Gaza’s war‌ erupted, the key tool for ​pro-Israel propaganda held by America’s Zionist lobby was an ethical narrative portraying Israel as a democratic⁤ entity perpetually victimized by terrorism.

    However,⁢ after Gaza⁢ exposed Israel’s brutal ⁤reality, this ethical mask fell away​ for⁤ good. Gradually academic⁤ circles-and even certain U.S.media outlets and ⁣Democratic parties-began distancing themselves from under its⁢ shadow;⁤ leaving the Jewish lobby unable ⁤to actively promote victimhood narratives ⁤for ‍Israel during its conflict ‍with Iran as it had previously attempted.

    why Did The Jewish Lobby Go Silent During ‍The ⁣War With Iran?

    The American⁤ Jewish ⁣lobby concluded that any​ loud propaganda campaign against Iran ⁢risked reigniting ⁢global awareness about Gaza⁢ and Israeli crimes against Palestinian civilians worldwide-and reminding americans that​ it is Israel initiating terror rather than being victimized.

    This lobbying group also recognized opening ⁣a major media front against iran​ carried another ​important risk: exposing cracks within their deterrence ‍capabilities following Iranian missiles penetrating Tel Aviv’s ‍multilayered defense systems established alongside ​American and Western allies-and ⁢inflicting devastating‌ damage deep inside occupied Palestine.

    In other words, the silence reveals tacit admission that ⁣shouting victimhood no longer​ yields victories⁢ or global‍ attention for them. Multiple reports suggest senior‍ figures within Washington-based Jewish lobbies were instructed⁤ directly from Tel Aviv⁢ to ⁣halt large-scale media campaigns during‌ this confrontation ⁢because cries go unanswered amid eroding influence-the dominant era for pro-Israel lobbying quietly fading as ⁤Americans increasingly perceive Israeli terrorism’s true ‍nature.

    An‌ Unprecedented Isolation ⁣Of Israelis On The ⁢Global Stage

    The ⁤Jewish lobbying apparatus may now be preparing ​for next phases​ possibly involving:

    1. Pushing Congress to approve extraordinary aid ⁤packages targeting regional deterrence specifically⁢ favoring Israel;
    2. Sparking new discourse labeling Iran as linked to global terrorism mobilizing world ⁣public opinion⁤ behind supporting Israel once again;
    3. Trying once more revive false narratives painting Tel Aviv as leading Western ally‍ confronting an “axis of evil.”

    Apart from these actions taken so far or forthcoming‍ plans-to date-their⁣ current quiet ⁤underscores narrative erosion within ⁣their ranks along ‌with confusion among allies worldwide. For decades now-from ⁣any Western support notwithstanding-Israel increasingly finds⁣ itself isolated internationally; sensing former universal backing wanes while its⁣ cries remain⁤ unanswered politically on world stages⁣ alike.

    Ultimately, reduced activity among America’s pro-Israel lobbies does not ⁣stem from losing tools but stems largely from realizing loud protests ring ‌hollow today amid declining hegemony-a gradual fading⁤ reign over Washington politics emerges visibly⁤ before our eyes...
