7 Countries in 5 Years

2 Mar 2026 – As a Palestinian I have witnessed the daily toll of murder of our children (21,000 children, thousands of them toddlers just in the past 2.5 years). But this only increased my horror at seeing other Children killed by the Zionist (US/Israel joint at the hip regime) in Lebanon, Yemen, Sudan and elsewhere.

But I was especially struck by the lack of western coverage of the bombing Sat 28 Feb of an elementary school in Iran that killed over 100 girls. The sight of a father going trough the bloodied backpack of his daughter made me cry so much. Till when are we going to put up with this genocidal maniac regime that had a lock on the world (via blackmail mostly ala Epsteingate, tip of the iceberg). When will we have a global uprising. Zahra Golpayegani, the 14-month-old granddaughter of Sayyed Ali Khamenei among many other civilians was also martyred with other innocent civilians in the US-Israeli illegal aggression against the Leader’s residence. This is the same leader who made a religious Fatwa that forbids development of a nuclear weapon even though he and all Iranian leaders knew that they would have been safer with nuclear weapons (ala North Korean leader who Trump befriended since he had nuclear weapon and ballistic missiles!).

Trump made his choice: he had to chose between joining in Israeli expansionist empire building wars or have the rest of the videos and documents released that will get him impeached and jailed. He made his choice and bombed seven countries in one year – the last is Iran (but this is not going to help him). He had to secure Venezuela’s oil before destabilizing our region. But could it be that after the war (if it ever ends) Trump will still face the legal consequences of rape of children? The extent of propaganda against Iran is amazing.

Now that Iran is attacked illegally and unprovoked and for the second time by the US/Israel (Epstein) regime, he regional war already started. Surprises and mistakes happen daily now. Three US F-15 Jets costing $360 million were downed over Kuwait. The offices of ICC wanted war criminal Netanyahu was bombed. US embassies from India to Pakistan to Iraq to Lebanon are besieged by the masses. Evacuations of foreign militaries happening throughout the region (e.g. the foci of imperial extensions in Cyprus and UAE). Oil and gas prices are going way up (10% in the first two days). Inflation is skyrocketing. The world economy is going into a downward spin and the global war is a matter of days or weeks ahead with no winners except cockroaches as they resist nuclear radiation. Those who were not paying attention to our (Palestine) wake-up calls or those Jews who were tricked to think that might makes right (“we rather be feared than loved”) miscalculate badly to their and our detriment. The genocide and ethnic cleansing in Palestine has provided a global wake-up to the stark choice: Zionism (total destruction, genocidal/suicidal game) OR peace. Will it be too late to end this nightmare?

Reminder Gaza Genocide still Going on

US General Wesley Clark (former NATO supreme commander) in 2007: US/Israel plan to take down 7 countries in 5 years – I guess they updated the schedule since because of their difficulties in the other countries). But this Iran thing may spell the end of Zionism stranglehold on the US!

We have a global war to try vainly to erase this: What happened in 1948
