New Years Day

Just something for practicing with SQSP categories really. Two articles about Israel and the Middle East caught my attention as being unusually useful. This one https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2024/12/31/bidens-netanyahu-first-us-second-strategy-was-a-total-disaster gets a good hold of how awful Biden’s Zionist presidency has been and how important it is for the US to have its ‘footprint’ in Israel to control the whole region. And this one https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jan/01/donald-trump-killing-of-qassem-suleimani-triggered-fall-of-assad-tom-tugendhat shows is a rare example of one well-informed MP speaking, when we so often only get the Ideologically addled window-dressing of so-called leaders, Starmer being one of the most contemptible in my opionion.
