Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Thursday, September 11, 2025

EU President Ursula von der Leyen announced sanctions against Israel and new aid for Ukraine during her annual State of the EU address, with the timing shaped by Russian drone incursions into Poland and Israeli airstrikes in Qatar targeting Palestinian resistance leaders. The EU will suspend bilateral support to Israel, propose sanctions on extremist Israeli ministers and violent settlers, and seek a partial suspension of the EU-Israel trade agreement -- the first concrete steps after months of criticism that the EU has failed to respond adequately to Israel's horrific ethnic cleansing in Gaza.

"Man-made famine can never be a weapon of war," President von der Leyen emphasized, calling Israeli atrocities in Gaza "unacceptable." Earlier this week Brussels condemned IDF airstrikes in Doha targeting Palestinian resistance leaders, saying they "breach international law and Qatar's territorial integrity."

An international arrest warrant issued by the ICC for crimes against humanity and other depravations remains active for Likud PM Benjamin Netanyahu. An indictment is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Link: ICJ Genocide Ruling .

ICC-indicted war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu may conquer the Gaza Strip, but he may lose the crown jewels of NYC to AIPAC's eternal chagrin. In addition to the likeable Zohran Mamdani's (33) affordability plan for poor New Yorkers which can be easily paid for by taxes on Wall Street, the banks, and the oligarchs, he is also an avatar and a point man against Dummkopf Trumpf and Netanyahu. Every poor Palestinian the IDF murders in the Gaza Strip probably equates to 80-85 New Yorkers voting for Mamdani in the NYC mayoral race. One AI estimate (separate from my pen and paper calculation) suggests that 400,000 voters will vote for Mamdani on the Gaza genocide issue alone.

Trumpf's pathetic attempt at bribing Eric Adams to leave the race hasn't worked yet. The high highfalutin positions that Trumpf offered the disgraced Mr. Adams require US Senate confirmation, which is not guaranteed and Adams knows that. And will Eric Adams be comfortable at Cabinet meetings as the only man of color sitting there with a bunch of racists?

On the other hand, the venal Adams also sees financial opportunities to make obscene amounts of pelf with insider trading and occult crypto-currency schemes with the peccable Trumpf junta. So, we'll see what grown-up Stymie Beard does.

Canada announced it will recognize the State of Palestine at UNGA this month with other Western countries such as the UK, France, Malta, and Australia. And now Ottawa is "re-evaluating its relationship" with the Pariah State after Israel illegally bombed Qatar, murdering several people. PM Mark Carney is not "nice guy" Justin Trudeau and Canadians are lucky to have him as PM with three bellicose leaders causing the world so much mayhem and grief: www.cbc.ca

Irish broadcaster RTE announced it will not take part in the 2026 Eurovision Song Contest "if the participation of Israel goes ahead." Ireland's participation in the event "would be unconscionable given the ongoing and appalling loss of lives in Gaza." Ireland has won the contest seven times in total, most recently in 1996. Slovenia and Spain also signaled they won't participate if the Rogue Nation takes part in 2026 Eurovision: www.bbc.com

I thought Sven-Olof Walldoff in that video might be Mikhail Kutuzov in the flesh.

It is freaking hilarious that DR decided to use that as the headline here. You ignored the "All hostages must be returned" and everything like that that Palestine is guilty of just to make an ideological point. There are so many points here that expose Palestine's (i.e., Hamas) wrongdoings but liberals don't care about anyone killed, raped, etc. just like they don't care when it happens to Americans who don't agree with their ideology (like women being raped and killed by illegals). No, those people mean nothing to any of you. All that matters is spinning everything just to make ideologic points. Combine that with the celebrations of killing someone who is just speaking their opinion and you can easily see which party is really causing all of the violence right now. Rarely does any violence occur from right-leaning people to make ideological points. Since the DR lib kids on here have no logic skills, of course you are going to say we see it all the time. That's just because you spin everything to be conservative points. Like if a racist guy in Alabama kills a black guy, you automatically and immediately say something like, "Yep, that's political violence" when it isn't related at all. Hate just from one person to another is rarely political and that's been true for thousands of years. But hate specifically because of political ideologies is rampant across both sides, and there is very clear evidence liberals are the cause.

If you don't like that, then do something about it. Ignoring it, spinning it, demonizing me for calling it out, etc. do absolutely nothing to change the fact that violence because of political ideology differences is mostly from liberals these days. Riots, lootings, murders, rapes, etc. are committed and defended by liberals waaaaaaaaaay more than conservatives these days and you can't argue that because the proof is all out there.

This Kirk situation, which Fox is milking for every ounce of partisan bias it can so you have to ignore most of what they report, should still be looked at by liberals as a call to do better. Instead, they celebrate the murder of someone because of a difference of opinion. That's the bottom line and ignoring it only makes things worse.

My questio is; do LilMarco and Trump speak to each other? Because I just read another story that Rubio is assuring Israel that the U.S> will continue to support their genocide against the Palestiniaans. So now U.S. foreign policy is we will support you as we sanction you?

Dummkopf Trumpf, already born with two left feet and now stricken with ataxia, is woefully dancing out of step with the civilized world. His only friends are other murderers or authoritarians: Benjamin Netanyahu, Vladimir Putin, and Jair Bolsonaro.

The EU, the UK, Canada, Australia, NZ, Mexico, and Brazil are showing the way in moral leadership. Under Trumpf, the US is a nuclear-armed banana republic.
