Sabra and Shatila are an impoverished Beirut neighbourhood and a Palestinian refugee camp in the same vicinity, They are known for the savage massacre of Palestinian refugees and poor Lebanese Shiites (internally displaced from southern Lebanon by the Israeli occupational brutalities) which killed anywhere over 3000 children, men and women—the assassins killed out of the sight of media and covered their tracks with mass graves. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6P2ybaBVK4Q

In Krutaya Balka, a frontline village N of Donetsk and just outside of Yasinovataya, 15 people (mostly elderly) remain, under near-daily Ukrainian shelling & heavy machine gun fire. I spoke with those I could find at home while I was there. All told me they were constantly being assaulted by Ukrainian forces) by heavy machine gun fire and shelling. The machine gun fire not only punctures the walls but also can set fire to the roof, thus the whole house. All said they had no where to go, so they stay, living in hell in an area otherwise quite lovely. Same as I heard in Zaitsevo, further north in the Donetsk People's Republic. This video is the first of a few I'll upload from Krutaya Balka, letting the civilians speak about what corporate owned media will not.

On Saturday March 16, for two hours I joined a massive demonstration of Venezuelans rejecting US policies against their country and leadership. The people in this video are largely excluded by corporate media reporting on Venezuela. They include Caracas' poorest, defiant supporters of the Venezuelan government and Bolivarian project [see: https://venezuelanalysis.com/topic/bolivarian-project] Media would have you believe they are against President Maduro, and that any who show up to such rallies are *forced* to do so. You decide whether these vivacious, strong, informed people seemed *forced* to participate. Venezuela has for years been subject to an economic war led by the U.S., and continues to face sanctions after brutal sanctions by the very governments purporting to care about human rights and hunger. Kevin Zeese (https://popularresistance.org ) summarized the situation well: "The US has an ongoing regime change operation which began in 2002 with the brief Chavez coup and which continue at this moment with the farce president Guaido. Guaido has been trained by the US for more than a decade. He is inept and has little support in Venezuela. When we were there he was the butt of jokes. He comes from a small right-wing party in a small state where he won a second place seat in the National Assembly. ...The US has been unable to get support for a military attack on Venezuela. Both its right-wing allies in Latin America and the EU have opposed that approach. A military attack would be a failed venture as Venezuela is twice as large as Iraq, has a military of 200,000 and civilian militia of 2 million. ...A US military attack would be very destructive of Venezuela. The people of Venezuela will not give up their independence and be dominated by the US again. With the war-path blocked, the US has been trying another approach. It has been caught trying to smuggle weapons into Venezuela. This week the so-called 'chief of staff' for Guaido along with his bodyguard were arrested for trying to create terror cells to attack government officials and cause violent chaos in Venezuela. The example of Venezuela breaking from US domination in 1999 with the election of Hugo Chavez is not something the US can accept. They need to show other countries that those who break from US control will be punished. And, the natural riches of Venezuela are too much to ignore, e.g. the largest oil, gold and diamond reserves in the world, the fifth largest gas reserves and large reserves of minerals essential for electronics and weapons. Sadly, the US will keep seeking to put in place a puppet government unless public opinion forces change to what is a deep bipartisan policy supported by Wall Street, the military-industrial-intelligence complex and transnational cor ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XaQ7SdSa9Fg

transporting some of the over 5000 Palestinians injured by Israeli bombing and firing during the 23 day Israeli massacre of Gaza. Gaza's Palestinians had no bomb shelters, no air raid sirens, no safe havens, no means of escaping the Strip which was being bombed in its entirety. The residents of Ezbet Abed Rabbo faced some of the worst atrocities at the hands of the occupying Israeli soldiers, including point-blank shooting to kill, denial of water, food and medication, assault, detention in vast mud walled pit, and bombing of homes in which families resided. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdW1rVtX8vc https://ingaza.wordpress.com/2009/01/11/injured-denied-access-israeli-soldiers-shoot-woman-in-stomach-and-keep-elderly-hostages/
