"But, hey, the buffed marble courtyard, trapezoidal swimming pool, and other amenities mean that personnel at the new embassy compound will at least be riding out any potential blowback in style."

The Palestinization of Guatemala:

In Chris Hedges recent interview with Jennifer Harbury, she referred to the "Palestinization of Guatemala", with respect to Israel's military aid to further the Guatemalan genocide of (mostly) Maya Indigenous peoples in the 1980s, after the US was forced to stop overt funding.

The article below expands on this. A quote:

Much of Israel’s military aid is part of an assistance mesh that includes agricultural aid. A NACLA report by investigative journalist George Black summarized from Guatemala: “There is an interlocking mosaic of assistance programs — weapons to help the Guatemalan Army crush the opposition and lay waste to the countryside, security and intelligence advice to control the local population, and agrarian development models to construct on the ashes of the highlands.”

jacobin.comHow Israel Facilitated the Guatemalan GenocideGaza isn’t the only place where Israel has sponsored mass killing. During the 1980s, Israel intervened in Guatemala as a proxy for the United States, providing arms and training to the military governments that slaughtered thousands of indigenous Maya.

"#Pahlavi’s pretenses to leadership now should be taken more seriously because of #Israel’s attack on #Iran in June, which was greenlighted by the #TrumpAdministration. Despite Trump’s explicit rejection of #regimeChange in Iran and his frequent disavowals of an interventionist foreign policy, in practice the president’s administration has been supporting the fantasy of a Pahlavi restoration."

Al Jazeera on China and the West

'During the low-wage era of the 1990s, China’s export-to-import ratio with the core was extremely high. In other words, China had to export very large quantities of goods in order to obtain necessary imports. Today, this ratio is much lower, representing a dramatic improvement in China’s terms of trade, substantially reducing the core’s ability to appropriate value from China.'
