Entry into U.S. Is Not Matter of Our Interest: International Affairs Analyst
Pyongyang, June 10 (KCNA) -- Kim Myong Chol, an international affairs analyst of the DPRK, issued the following article titled "Entry into the U.S. is not a matter of our interest" on June 9:
Recently, the U.S. announced a measure to designate the peoples of 19 countries as the subjects of ban to entry into the U.S. under the pretext of "threat" to its national security.
The arrogant acts of the U.S., which is self-righteous, exclusive and racist, are now faced with strong denunciation and rejection of the international community.
Of course, it is a matter belonging to the sphere of sovereign rights of a relevant country to restrict and control the entry of foreigners.
Nevertheless, the above-said measure taken by the U.S. is incurring a censure of the international community because it is used as a malicious political tool for discriminating and pressurizing other countries.
Great irony is that there is strange interpretation that the Democratic People's Republic of Korea was not included in the subjects of the U.S. ban on entry and this measure may reflect the U.S. administration's carrot stand towards the DPRK to open the door to the resumption of dialogue between the two countries.
This cannot be interpreted otherwise than one-sided judgment not knowing well the past and present relations between the DPRK and the U.S.
In 2017, the first term of office, the present U.S. administration included the DPRK in the list of countries subject to entry ban to the U.S. for the unjust reason that it refused to cooperate with the U.S. government and did not meet the demand for sharing information, and maintained it throughout its ruling.
This year when the second term of office began, the U.S. re-designated the DPRK as an "uncooperative state in combating terrorism" and extended again the effect of the measure for totally banning the U.S. citizens' trip to the DPRK.
The reason why the U.S. does not include the DPRK in the list can be explained only by the U.S., whether it is purely for technical reason or for political purpose.
But one obvious fact is that we are not interested in the least in the matter of entry into the U.S.
Even if the present U.S. administration has not placed the DPRK intentionally on the list of countries subject to entry ban, the DPRK is not interested in it and has no reason to be glad.
The U.S., which is the most hostile country to the DPRK and where xenophobia and racial discrimination have been established as a social climate and all sorts of social evils flood, can never be welcomed as the destination of the DPRK citizens' trip.
Shortly ago, the vice-president, the second-ranking person of the present U.S. administration, denounced a U.S. university for lacking "ideological diversity" and made absurd sophism about the political system of the DPRK. This is another typical example why the DPRK has repugnance for the U.S.
If the present U.S. administration thinks that the DPRK will accept the allowing of the entry into the U.S. as a "gift" which it neither thinks nor wants, it is miscalculation.
It is not the matter of the DPRK's concern that the U.S. unilaterally makes illegal regulations outside and places the DPRK in them or not. I think that the Democratic People's Republic of Korea will, in the future, too, not welcome the entry of Americans into it.
This is a just and legitimate exercise of sovereign rights to defend the state and social system and the welfare of the people from all hostile threats of the U.S. and is quite different from the U.S. prejudiced prohibition measure on entry with malicious intention.
The DPRK will not evaluate the U.S. actions on the basis of someone's hopeful observations or subjective interpretation. It will face the U.S. on the basis of the reality and by relying on its own independent judgment. -0-

This article is about massacres at "Gaza Humanitarian Foundation" sites (GHF). It's basically a fake aid organization set up by the US and Israel for the purpose of killing people in Gaza. Israel blocked all aid entering into Gaza on March 2. All food and medicines shipments to Gaza were blocked for over 80 days. GHF opened on May 27 and Israeli militants have been opening fire on starving Palestinians at the GHF sites almost every day since.
This tweet thread lists the number of Palestinians killed or injured each day at GHF sites from May 27 to June 24.

The Haaretz article mentions that some of the people who work for GHF are Palestinian. What Haaretz doesn't explicitly say is that the Palestinians who are hired by GHF are part of the ISIS-linked Al Shabab gang. Israel pays the ISIS-linked Al Shabab gang to limit the aid going to Gaza. Hamas has a group called the "Arrow Unit" which fights against the Al Shabab gang and other aid looters.
