Biden administration delivers weapons to Israel bypassing the Congress is the block piece inserted into the article “Gaza: l’Qfrique du Sud saisit la CIJ pour ‘‘génocide’’ ) Israël” which reports South Africa voted for the Genocide accusation on Israel in International Court of Justice.

My comment: From the day one of 2024, Israel appears to continue airstrikes on Gaza. I will not be surprised by anyone who might think about the line connecting the sale of weapons to Israel, to favors given to war weapon manufacturers, to pro-Israel constituents, to 2024 election.

The other screenshot is from “De plus en plus d’Indiens prêts à tout pour vivre aux Etats-Unis”, which begins with the site of La Marne airport in France, where Legend Airlines (Indian) was stopped by the authority to prevent Indian migrants from illegally reach the US. Their route is complex. France is just a transit point from which migrants fly to Nicaragua, then go to Mexico, then they walk in the US by crossing the US-Mexico border. The increasing number of Indian illegal migrants in the US is cited as 96,917 (2022-2023) in comparison to 8,017 (2018-2019) in the article, the third largest illegal migrants to the US after Mexicans (as #1) and Nicaraguans (#3). Many of hose Indians [are dreaming] for successful startups in [American high tech industries] is also mentioned.

The years 2022-2023 are in the Biden presidency. Recently, the number of Africans entering the US illegally via Mexico has been increased and this is far from a top secret. Meantime, Biden is most concerned about weapon sales to Ukraine and Israel? If I’m very cynical, I’d continue to say only Blinken is working hard for all those things.
