Israel, of course, is not listening. They'd rather go on with their slow motion ethnic cleansing of Gaza.

After all, former bouncer turned truculent Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman told the Knesset, "the operation must end with the IDF controlling the entire Gaza strip."

The BRICS, at the insistence of Russia and China, even introduced an updated draft treaty on the need to prevent the weaponization of outer space -- as in Star Wars, an essential part of the Pentagon's Full Spectrum Dominance doctrine.
