So Israel, which has killed hundreds of Gazans, many of them children, since the so-called Ceasefire was declared on October 11th, has now stated that it is currently intending to maintain its “yellow line” occupation of more than half of the Gaza Strip. That will likely eventually make most of Gaza de facto part of Israel and the Palestinians who once upon a time lived there are shit out of luck, as the old saying goes. And as for those benighted creatures who actually believe that ceasing fire means one must stop shooting it is perhaps past time to ask the man behind the “Peace Plan” which bears the name “Trump” what is going on.

Today, the Columbus Liberation Center, staffed by organizers from the Party for Socialism and Liberation, opens their doors to the public. The Grand Opening celebration is set for 6PM, December 13th at 1004 Parsons Ave. The Columbus Liberation Center is a space for community organizing, political education, and culture. Included in the space is a bookstore, library, working spaces, kids play corner, and a main hall for meetings.

To explain more about the 4,000 sq/ft space, organizer shenby G says: 

“We’re here on the South Side because we know it’s an area treated with disdain by the city and actively over-policed. Black Americans face the constant threat of violence by Columbus Police, and then you have rising rents and a lack of affordability, with apartments increasing their prices by $100, $150 while there’s fears about grocery stores and convenience stores closing left and right. All the while unaffordable and bougie businesses encroach deeper and deeper down the avenue.

BANGKOK, Thailand -- Thailand's U.S.-supplied F-16 warplanes and Swedish Gripen jets bombed at least three Cambodian casinos during the past week in a gamble Bangkok hopes will obliterate its enemy's alleged ability to fire armed drones from the border zone complexes and stockpile rockets, mortars, and other weapons.

The big white-walled casinos are easy targets in the green forests and brown scrubland because Cambodia has no effective military air force to defend them.

Cambodia has not fired its anti-aircraft weapons during the war which began in July, perhaps predicting a devastating response from militarily-mightier Thailand.

Cambodia's casinos are some of the biggest and strongest-built buildings along the frontier, constructed with millions of dollars from gamblers' and investors' money.

The well-equipped casino complexes could offer Cambodia's military formidable structures, but it was not possible to independently confirm their dual use.

US President Donald Trump's 'Board of Peace' is reportedly set to be announced before the year's end. This news coincides with increasing reports that the US administration is serious about pushing forward the second phase of the Gaza ceasefire.

However, many critical questions remain unanswered. How can a governing council be superimposed on Gaza when Palestinians are unified in their rejection of any new form of Western mandate over their lives?
