The #Balkans have become a focal point of activity in the dealings of fmr top #Trump ofcls since out of office.
Trump’s son-in-law #JaredKushner is pursuing a pair of real estate development deals—1 in #Albania & 1 in #Serbia —for his new investment firm, which is funded by the govts of #SaudiArabia & other #Mideast nations. Both deals have drawn criticism because of the involvement of foreign govts & perception that helping Kushner’s business could be a way to gain favor w/a 2nd Trump admin.

World-Outlook · Iran-Israel Shadow War: Its Role in Mideast Conflict (II)Iran’s theocracy took power through a counter-revolution in the 1980s. The clerics crushed the independent struggle of Iranian workers and peasants who had carried out a popular uprising in 1979. That social revolution had reverberated across the region and the world. The mobilization of working people toppled the U.S.-backed monarchy of the shah — a brutal and hated regime. Since it tamed the mass struggle, the theocracy has held on to power through periodic brutal crackdowns on any expression of opposition to the Islamist regime. This article sketches the origins of this regime that underlie its current trajectory, including the damage it has inflicted on the Palestinian struggle.

World-Outlook · Iran-Israel Shadow War: Its Role in Mideast Conflict (I)Iran and Israel traded direct airstrikes on each other’s territory, for the first time, in a confrontation in April that raised the danger of a full-blown regional war. Both governments, however, stepped back from the brink after Israel chose to launch a limited strike in response to Iran's large but ineffective rocket barrage aimed at Israel. Having avoided further direct military conflict, both countries returned to their long-running shadow war, in which Iran’s strategy is to arm and direct allied militias such as Hezbollah. These developments also shed light on Tehran’s pretentious “support” for the Palestinian liberation struggle. The clerical regime uses such posturing to prop up its dictatorial hold on power in Iran and its reactionary reach through proxy armies across the Mideast. Many Palestinians in the occupied territories, as well as working people and others in Iran, are beginning to see through such grandstanding and now openly oppose it.

The place, #Kushner said in an interview, was “magnificent” & “natural”…& an “incredible canvas” for his dreams of developing luxury projects.
Now, #JaredKushner is seeking to transform this stretch of #Albania into the kind of luxury resort that #Trump would brag about. It would be Kushner’s biggest project yet using part of his roughly $3 billion private equity fund — financed largely by investors in #SaudiArabia & other #Mideast #petrostates….
It's funny how, decade after decade, we keep bombing targets in the #Mideast supposedly used by militants and terrorists, and yet they never go away. Could it be that this doesn't work?

@helpmeskeletor Agreed: For Israel and its mostly Jewish population to do to others what was done to them, historically, is wrong. Elements of what was done to Jews in World War II included confinement in areas of concentration, Ghettos. The Palestinian people are stateless and don’t control their borders or airspace. No one condones the #Hamas murder raids or kidnappings. But, to ignore history and continued #israeli injustice to #palestinians is wrong. #Israel #mideast
