Despicable Sellout RFK Jr. Takes Time Off from Hitting on Young Interns to Shill for Zionists

by Scott Creighton

I told you when he crawled out of the woodwork to announce his candidacy that he was compromised. I told you he was a neoliberal and a Zionist apologist. Here he is telling you that the people of Gaza aren't the victims here but instead the REAL victims... are the Jews.


He's done it before, he'll do it again. He isn't trying to win. He's trying to put together a political machine he can hand over to his spoiled rotten son in 2028.

Israel’s Willing Executioners

by Chris Hedges from The Truth Seeker

Run, the Israelis demand, run for your lives. Run from Rafah the way you ran from Gaza City, the way you ran from Jabalia, the way you ran from Deir al-Balah, the way you ran from Beit Hanoun, the way you ran from Bani Suheila, the way you ran from Khan Yunis. Run or we will kill you. We will drop 2,000-pound bunker buster bombs on your tent encampments. We will spray you with bullets from our machine-gun-equipped drones. We will pound you with artillery and tank shells. We will shoot you down with snipers. We will decimate your tents, your refugee camps, your cities and towns, your homes, your schools, your hospitals and your water purification plants. We will rain death from the sky.

Run for your lives. Again and again and again. Pack up the pathetic few belongings you have left. Blankets. A couple of pots. Some clothes. We don’t care how exhausted you are, how hungry you are, how terrified you are, how sick you are, how old, or how young you are. Run. Run. Run. And when you run in terror to one part of Gaza we will make you turn around and run to another. Trapped in a labyrinth of death. Back and forth. Up and down. Side to side. Six. Seven. Eight times. We toy with you like mice in a trap. Then we deport you so you can never return. Or we kill you.

Let the world denounce our genocide. What do we care? The billions in military aid flows unchecked from our American ally. The fighter jets. The artillery shells. The tanks. The bombs. An endless supply. We kill children by the thousands. We kill women and the elderly by the thousands. The sick and injured, without medicine and hospitals, die. We poison the water. We cut off the food. We make you starve. We created this hell. We are the masters. Law. Duty. A code of conduct. They do not exist for us...

Pro-Israel billionaires urged New York crackdown on Gaza protests: Report

 

(Rich Zionist billionaires want that land in Gaza for their developer investments so they got together to plan ways to force local police and politicians to rough-up the protesters and get em out of the public eye before their Zionist plans got too bad a reputation in the public. That's 'Merkia! 101, boys and girls)

(H/T Aunt BB) from al Jazeera

A handful of powerful businessmen pushed New York City Mayor Eric Adams to use police to crack down on pro-Palestinian student protesters at Columbia University, donating to the politician and offering to pay for private investigators to help break up the demonstrations, the Washington Post has reported, based on leaked WhatsApp conversations.

The story, published on Thursday, says that several billionaires seeking to influence public perception of Israel’s war in Gaza discussed means of pushing the mayor and the university’s president to end the protests, which were eventually cleared last month amid criticism of the police’s heavy-handed response.

“One member of the WhatsApp chat group told The Post he donated $2,100, the maximum legal limit, to Adams that month,” the story reads.

“Some members also offered to pay for private investigators to assist New York police in handling the protests, the chat log shows — an offer a member of the group reported in the chat that Adams accepted.” The story states that city authorities denied that private investigators were used to help manage the protests.

The report comes as universities across the country continue to employ force against pro-Palestine activism, raising concerns over the repression of political expression. A number of universities have successfully negotiated with student encampments, which have called for divestment from companies involved in Israel’s war in Gaza and boycotts of Israeli institutions.

The WhatsApp chat cited by the Washington Post included prominent businessmen such as former CEO of Starbucks Howard Schultz, Dell founder and CEO Michael Dell, hedge fund manager Bill Ackman and Joshua Kushner, brother of former President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and adviser on Middle East issues, Jared Kushner.

Other leaders, such as snack company founder Daniel Lubetzky, hedge fund manager Daniel Loeb, billionaire Len Blavatnik and real estate investor Joseph Sitt also said that they held a video meeting with Mayor Adams on April 26...

Spain bans ships carrying weapons for Israel from docking at its ports

from PressTV

Spain has decided to ban ships carrying weapons for Israel from docking at its ports, Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares says, a day after the country denied a vessel permission to call at a southeastern port.

Albares said Spain’s decision not to authorize ships carrying weapons for Israel to call at its ports comes as the country doesn't "want to contribute to war."

He noted that the ship that was denied access to a Spanish port on Thursday was the first such vessel to be blocked.

Albares noted that the refusal was consistent with the government's decision to suspend weapon export licenses to Israel after it launched the war on Gaza in October...

Hamas rejects US floating pier for Gaza aid as publicity stunt

from PressTV

The Hamas government in Gaza has rejected America’s establishment of a temporary floating pier designed to increase the amount of aid getting into the besieged strip as a publicity stunt “to beautify its ugly face.”

"The floating water dock off the coast of Gaza does not meet the needs of our Palestinian people for food. We demand the opening of land crossings and the immediate and urgent entry of aid and goods through them," the Gaza government media office said in a statement issued on Friday night.

US President Joe Biden ordered the construction of the pier in March. Shortly afterward, the US deployed naval ships to the Eastern Mediterranean to construct the "floating pier" that will reportedly receive aid from Cyprus, and send it onward to Gaza.

The US announcement came amid mounting pressure on Israel to allow aid into Gaza as the UN and other aid agencies have warned of imminent famine due to Israel's prevention of the land-based delivery of life-saving aid to Gaza.            

The US military said on Friday that trucks carrying humanitarian assistance will soon begin moving ashore "in the coming days."

USAID response director Dan Dieckhaus said on Wednesday the construction of the pier - known as a Joint Logistics Over-the-Shore (JLOTS) system - is complete...

Chaotic Israeli govt at impasse over Netanyahu's Gaza war strategy

from Daily Sabah

The Israeli government is deeply divided over the ongoing war in Gaza, as highlighted this week by Defense Minister Yoav Gallant's public demand for a clear strategy from the country's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

As troops resumed attacks on Palestinians, Gallant voiced his refusal to establish a military "government" in the enclave, underscoring growing Israeli security establishment concerns about the likelihood of post-conflict Israeli rule of Gaza.

This split became more pronounced with the contrasting views of centrist former generals Benny Gantz and Gadi Eisenkot, who supported Gallant, against the far-right nationalist religious factions led by Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and Internal Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, who criticized his stance.

"That's no way to run a war," the right-wing Israel Today tabloid headlined its Thursday edition over a photo of Netanyahu and Gallant facing in different directions...

Prime Minister Fico's Assassination: Ukraine, Treaties and Pfizer... and his useless security team

Prime Minister Fico's Assassination: Ukraine, Treaties and Pfizer... Oh My

by Scott Creighton

Folks are already being called 'conspiracy theorists' for wondering aloud if perhaps there was more to the recent attempt on Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico's life than simply a 'crazed lone gunman' in spite of the fact that his administration recently refused to hand over control of their country to the WHO via the Pandemic Treaty and the fact that he said this about the corruption surrounding the Covid-19 'vaccine' corruption back in Jan. of this year while promising a REAL (not the kind Chris Coumo was calling for) investigation:

‘The Slovak public simply needs an answer. Needs an answer about vaccination, what it actually was. Why people were vaccinated with various experimental vaccines. Why all sorts of drugs were pushed into people.’
That scares the shit out of certain people, don't you think?

New mRNA Vax Propaganda Campaign Kicks Off: They Want Your Damn Data

An experiment is only useful if it produces actionable data they can derive conclusions from. Turns out the VAERS data is being suppressed (only $40k paid in total thus far) to protect the brand of mRNA vaccines but that hinders the researchers who are looking for something (Fountain of Youth) because they can't get follow-up data to see what their garbage jabs are doing. So, Dr. Birx smiles her way thru a propaganda interview asking folks to come forward and offer up their 'genetics' for them to study. They aren't done yet folks.

Leaked Docs Reveal British Intelligence’s Secret Exploitation of Palestinian Refugees

by Kit Klarenberg from Mint Press News

Leaked files obtained by MintPress News detail the intensive interest taken in Palestinians both within and without the country by British intelligence operatives and Foreign Office-funded and directed cutouts over many years. Collectively, the material leaves little room for doubt that the British government has long sought to covertly surveil, infiltrate, and manipulate Palestinians for malign ends while exploiting their suffering to serve London’s geopolitical objectives.

Throughout the Syrian proxy conflict, British intelligence ran expansive psychological warfare programs, targeting the local population and Western citizens. The objective was to destabilize Bashar Assad’s government and convince domestic and foreign audiences, including overseas governments and international bodies, that the Western-backed Free Syrian Army was a moderate, legitimate alternative and flood media globally with pro-opposition propaganda. A corrupt constellation of private contractors staffed by British military veterans and “former” spies delivered these clandestine campaigns.

Innovative Communications & Strategies (InCoStrat) was a particularly prolific participant in this effort. The firm was founded by Paul Tilley, Britain’s former Ministry of Defence head of communications for West Asia, and Emma Winberg, a longtime MI6 officer, who subsequently married now-deceased White Helmets founder James Lemesurier. The leaked documents reveal that in Syria, she was tasked with the “management and development” of a local “network of interlocutors, key leaders and local coordinators”:

[This network is] able to assist in the development of messages and influence through word of mouth, in difficult to reach areas. The knowledge gained through these interactions will generate the contextual understanding that provides the foundation for our communication campaigns, our ability to assess their effect and to provide detailed atmospheric reports that inform HMG of the developing situation in Syria.”...

Blinken tells Ukrainians to embrace conscription

 (What a Globalist Ghoul Blinken is. Telling young kids to throw their lives away so we can keep the meaningless conflict going until the last Ukrainian is dead. What a POS he is.)

from RT

Ukrainians must accept more mobilization as a necessary step toward the country’s eventual NATO membership, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said during a speech in Kiev on Tuesday.

Speaking to students at the Kiev Polytechnic Institute, the top US diplomat noted that Ukrainians are relying on his country for continued support, but insisted that they must see the importance of the military draft for the fight against Russia.

“Your recent mobilization was a difficult decision, but a necessary one. The defenders who have so courageously held the line for more than two years need help. They need rest,” Blinken said.

Joining the military will “allow you to harden your defenses, to build more units, to take the fight to Russian aggressors,” he added...

Slovakia’s Prime Minister in ‘Life-Threatening’ Condition After Shooting

 (American Thug State rears it's ugly head again. This guy not only rejected more aid to Ukraine but also said, 5 days ago, Slovakia was NOT going to hand over it's sovereignty to the WHO via their Plandemic Treaty. 'The Health Ministry noted that it would not support any documents weakening Slovakia's position as a sovereign state.' source)

from The NYT

Slovakia’s populist prime minister, Robert Fico, was shot and seriously wounded on Wednesday in what the government called an assassination attempt.

A post on the prime minister’s official and verified Facebook page said that Mr. Fico was in “life-threatening condition” after sustaining “multiple” gunshot wounds.

“The next few hours will decide,” the post said.

The exact nature of Mr. Fico’s injuries was not immediately known. There was no immediate comment from the police about the attack, which unfolded in the central Slovak town of Handlova and drew shock and condemnation from European officials.

A veteran politician, Mr. Fico has aligned with the Hungarian prime minister, Viktor Orban, in opposing aid to Ukraine and challenging mainstream opinions within the European Union.

On Wednesday, Mr. Orban was quick to send good wishes to Mr. Fico, whom he called “my friend.”...

BEHOLD! The ISRAEL ALWAYS COMES FIRST! ACT - Brought to you by Republican Sellouts in D.C.

by Scott Creighton

America first. Remember?

Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) today joined Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) and many other sellout senators in congress in an effort to make sure everyone knows who they really serve in the U.S. Senate... Israel.

'Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) today joined Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) and colleagues in introducing the Israel Security Assistance Support Act to condemn the Biden administration’s pause on arms transfers Israel and require the administration to reverse its pause.' senate website

Biden just released 1 billion dollars worth of munitions to Glorious, Blameless, Forever the Victim Israel with which the 'Did We Mention the Holocaust?' Zionists will kill many many more Palestinian children, undoubtedly. 

However, that isn't enough for the Israel-Firsters in the Senate to satiate their neanderthal bloodlust. They want Biden to release the 2,000lb and 500lb 'smart bombs' to the 'Most Moral Army in the World' so they can wipe out entire neighborhoods in the overcrowded Rafah section of Gaza and 'accidentally' kill thousands more civilians, while conveniently clearing the land for the new Israeli developments that are on the agenda for the eventual rebuild.

Think of the shekels that will save!

In order to make it perfectly clear that these Republicans (yes they are all Republicans) serve Israel First (not the millions who want it to stop... but the RICH ONES.) they have stipulated in the bill that if Glorious, Blameless, Forever the Victim Israel doesn't get their 2,000lb bombs FOR FREE... immediately... then they plan to hold up every penny they can for every other project of NATIONAL SECURITY for the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA until they do (or until the U.S. collapses and is invaded by some bullshit little country somewhere)

Hamas: Any agreement stopping short of Gaza ceasefire ‘meaningless’

from PressTV

A high-ranking member of the Palestinian Hamas resistance movement says it would be “meaningless” to conclude any agreement with the occupying Israeli regime unless Tel Aviv commits itself to a complete ceasefire in the besieged Gaza Strip.

Sami Abu Zuhri, a member of the Hamas movement's political bureau, further noted on Tuesday that Israeli captives will not see the light of day until the usurping entity complies with the conditions of the Gaza-based resistance groups.

He stressed that Israeli authorities must adhere to the conditions of the Palestinian resistance front, the foremost of which is an end to the ongoing aggression against Gazans.

Abu Zuhri pointed out that it is “the occupying regime” that “obstructs and impedes reaching an agreement.”...

Palestinian resistance sustains unprecedented anti-Israeli attacks; still going strong: US think tanks

from PressTV

Two US think-tanks say Hamas and other Palestinian resistance groups in the Gaza Strip have launched record number of retaliatory attacks on Israeli troopers and are still going strong, despite the Israeli regime’s intensified attacks against the besieged territory.

In a report published on social media on Wednesday, the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) and the Critical Threats Project (CTP) noted that the resistance fighters are sustaining a very high daily rate of attacks targeting Israeli forces in the Jabalia refugee camp, as the Israeli military battles Hamas in northern Gaza months after claiming the resistance group had been “dismantled” in the area.

According to the report, Palestinian resistance groups have carried out 86 attacks --an average of roughly 28 attacks per day-- targeting Israeli forces in Jabalia since the regime’s military forces advanced further into the eastern areas of the Jabalia refugee camp on May 11.

This rate exceeds the level seen during a similar operation in the al-Zaytoun neighborhood in Gaza City, when the resistance groups conducted 92 attacks --an average of roughly 10 attacks per day-- over a nine-day period during the Israeli military’s initial aggression in the area...

Empty threats: US to ship more weapons, ammo worth $1B to Israel

from Daily Sabah

A week after threatening to withhold some arms over Rafah, U.S. President Joe Biden's administration informed Congress on Tuesday of a $1 billion weapons package for Israel.

The administration informally notified the weapons package to Congress, which will need to approve it, a U.S. official said, while a congressional aide who also requested anonymity said the weapons bought from U.S. weapons makers amounted to around $1 billion.

The weapons would come out of a major $95 billion package recently approved by Congress in defense support for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, and the Biden administration has repeatedly said it planned to go ahead and appropriate the funds through purchases from U.S. manufacturers...

Palestinians mark 76 years of Nakba amid larger catastrophe in Gaza

from Daily Sabah

As the Palestinians prepare to mark on Wednesday 76 years of their mass expulsion from their homeland, the human calamity of Israel's genocidal war on Gaza is a grim reminder of their continued struggle.

Palestinians refer to it as the Nakba, Arabic for catastrophe. Some 700,000 Palestinians – a majority of the prewar population – fled or were driven from their homes before and during the 1948 Arab-Israeli war that followed Israel's establishment.

After the war, Israel refused to allow them to return because it would have resulted in a Palestinian majority within its borders. Instead, they became a seemingly permanent refugee community that now numbers some 6 million, with most living in slum-like urban refugee camps in Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and the Israeli-occupied West Bank.

In Gaza, the refugees and their descendants make up around three-quarters of the population...

No, the UN Did NOT 'Revise Down' the Number of Children Killed by the IDF in Gaza

Stop lying.  All of the Israel apologists in the MS and Alt media outlets here in the states are basking in the 'new numbers' supposedly revised down from 15k children killed by the IDF in Gaza since Oct. 7th. Turns out, they didn't revise anything down, they just, for propaganda purposes, used the number of IDENTIFIED children killed by the IDF (most moral army in the world) as if the other 8k dead children who have yet to be identified somehow don't count.

Tracking Unvaxxed With Fingerprints/ Matt Staver, Liberty Counsel

from Meryl Nass

A new lawsuit states the FBI was tracking “unvaccinated” New York City schoolteachers and employees using their fingerprints. The city gathered a list of its employees who refused to get the COVID-19 shots, tagged them with a “problem code,” and flagged them to the FBI with a file that included their fingerprints.

Not only were some of these Americans fired for refusing this shot — many for religious reasons — now their fingerprints are on record at the FBI with a flag. This scarlet flag could make it significantly more difficult to land another job, teaching or otherwise.

The FBI is not the only federal department or agency tracking vaccine status. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is rolling out four new codes, and you might be tagged with one of them.

These new codes track people regarding their COVID injection status and other vaccines. This even includes a code for tracking conversations about these shots and any “counseling” given “regarding the safety of a vaccine.”

This is chilling. And to think, the World Health Organization (WHO) hasn’t even taken over yet. All of this is happening without the WHO in control. Yet if we allow the WHO to gain authority over America, we will have very little recourse...

Isolated and Defiant, Israel Vows to ‘Stand Alone’ in War on Hamas

from the NYT

 As the death toll in Gaza has risen, countries have turned their backs on Israel. The consequences of those desertions, from security to economics, risk turning Israel into a pariah.

 People sit in curved benches in a large room. Two screens read, “Voting result: In favor, 143; against, nine; abstention, 25.”

Turkey has suspended trade with Israel. The world’s top court is considering whether Israeli leaders have committed genocide. Protests have overtaken cities and campuses worldwide. Ireland and Spain say they will recognize Palestine as a state by the end of the month.

Even the United States — long Israel’s closest ally and benefactor — is threatening for the first time since the war began to withhold certain arms shipments.

Seven months after much of the world pledged its support to Israel following a Hamas-led terrorist attack, the country finds itself increasingly isolated. With a war that has killed more than 34,000 Palestinians and left Gaza on the verge of famine, any international good will that Israel amassed on Oct. 7 has been all but lost...

Biden panders to pro-Israel Jews, who are as reactionary on Israel as evangelicals

(The poll numbers don't matter thanks to electronic voting machines. They don't have to answer to the will of the people. Of the people, by the people, for the people is meaningless now and that is why they defend the black box voting system to the death)

from Mondoweiss

Joe Biden took contradictory actions this week. He called campus protesters of Israeli genocide antisemites one day. Then a day later he said he wouldn’t give Israel more bombs to kill Palestinian civilians.

Biden is trying to reconcile two irreconcilable parts of the Democratic coalition– the progressive base and a special interest, the Israel lobby.

Biden’s speech on Holocaust memorial day was an extended attack on the progressives. He said campus protests represent the latest “surge” of the “ancient hatred of Jews,” the same hatred that fueled Nazism.

The smear got sympathetic coverage on broadcast media. “This is ultimately a continuation of why he ran in 2020, when he saw neo-Nazis marching in Charlottesville chanting — quote — ‘Jews will not replace us,’” Laura Barron-Lopez said on the PBS News Hour. CNN reporter Jamie Gangel echoed the Charlottesville claim. While CNN anchor Dana Bash said that the protests “hearken back” to Nazi Germany.

Biden’s attack on the demonstrators carries great political risk. The Democratic base is overwhelmingly critical of Israel. By 56 to 22 Democrats say that Israel is committing a “genocide” in Gaza, according to a new poll...

Police remove Pro-Palestine camps at three US universities

from RT

More than 40 people were arrested on Friday as authorities moved to dismantle pro-Palestinian encampments at the University of Pennsylvania, the University of Arizona, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

Protesters against the Israeli war on Gaza have set up tent cities across major American universities over the past three weeks, starting at Columbia University in New York City. 

Around 4am on Friday, police in riot gear surrounded the encampment at MIT, giving protesters 15 minutes to leave. The ten students that chose to stay were arrested, according to MIT President Sally Kornbluth. The group of protesters who gathered outside the camp to chant “pro-Palestinian slogans” was dispersed by 6am, the school said.

“This is only going to make us stronger. They can’t arrest the movement,” Quinn Perian, an undergraduate student and organizer for MIT Jews for Ceasefire, told AP. “MIT would rather arrest and suspend some students than they would end their complicity with the genocide going in Gaza.”

Perian vowed the students won’t back down until MIT “agrees to cut ties with the Israeli military.”...

US report finds possible Israeli violations of international law in Gaza

(They withheld the report on Monday so they could drop it on Friday hoping it would get lost in the weekend news fog because everything we do is to benefit Glorious Israel you know)

from al Jazeera

A report from the administration of President Joe Biden has found that Israeli forces likely used United States-supplied weapons in a manner “inconsistent” with international law, but it stopped short of identifying violations that would put an end to the ongoing military aid.

In the report, released on Friday after a delay, the US State Department indicated Israel did not provide adequate information to verify whether US weapons were used in possible violations of international law during its war in Gaza.

... 

“It is reasonable to assess that defense articles covered under NSM-20 have been used by Israeli security forces since October 7 in instances inconsistent with its IHL [international humanitarian law] obligations or with established best practices for mitigating civilian harm,” the report said.

The report nevertheless adds that the Biden administration believes Israel is taking “appropriate steps” to address such concerns...

‘No one can deny Zionist power and grip on American political system’

from al Jazeera

After the UN General Assembly on Friday overwhelmingly backed the Palestinians’ drive for full membership, which is blocked by the United States, Robert Wood, Washington’s ambassador to the UN, said it remains his country’s view “that unilateral measures at the UN and on the ground will not advance this goal”.

Speaking to Al Jazeera, Sami al-Arian, director of the Center for Islam and Global Affairs at Istanbul Zaim University, said frustration is growing within the UN body due to the US’s continuous use of its veto power in favour of Israel.

“We have two states in this system – the United States and Israel – on one hand, and virtually the world on the other,” he said.

“People are extremely frustrated because they can’t get this war to end, they can’t get any kind of resolution and now even the humanitarian aid, which the United States has been threatening Israel, is being cut off for the past four-five days – nothing has been done about it,” al-Arian added.

“With all this destruction and havoc taking place and yet the United States does not see that it can intervene and make a difference.”

Al-Arian said “no one can deny” the “Zionist power and grip on the American political system”, adding that the US has also been using Israel in order to maintain its interests “even though its interests now are being severely harmed”.

UN General Assembly resolution urges fresh vote on Palestinian statehood

from PressTV

The United Nations General Assembly has overwhelmingly passed a resolution, urging the world body’s Security Council to reconsider Palestine’s request to become a full UN member.

The resolution was passed during an emergency session of the assembly on Friday.

A total of 143 countries voted in favor of upgrading Palestine's status at the world body, while nine voted against and 25 abstained.

Palestine is currently a UN non-member observer state, a status that was granted to it in 2012. An application to become a full UN member needs to be approved by the Council and then at least two-thirds of the General Assembly.

The United States, the Israeli regime’s biggest ally, has so far blocked Palestinians’ every attempt at being recognized as a full member by casting its veto against relevant resolutions...

US weapons worth billions set aside for Israel despite Biden threat

from Daily Sabah

Despite President Joe Biden's recent warning, the U.S. has billions of dollars worth of weaponry in the pipeline for Israel.

A senior U.S. official said this week that the administration had reviewed the delivery of weapons that Israel might use for a major invasion of Rafah, a southern Gaza city where over 1 million civilians have sought refuge, and as a result paused a shipment of bombs to Israel.

Washington has long urged Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government not to invade Rafah without safeguards for civilians, seven months into a war that has devastated Gaza.

Congressional aides estimated the delayed bomb shipment's value as "tens of millions" of U.S. dollars...

"Humanitarian operations cannot run without fuel. Unless the supply of fuel resumes immediately, humanitarian, communication, and banking activities will halt within days," said Georgios Petropoulos, the head of the U.N.'s humanitarian affairs organization sub-office in Gaza.

"Protection of civilians, humanitarian assets and supplies with assurance from all parties to the conflict remain a major concern," Petropoulos told a UN briefing in Geneva.

The current availability of fuel will enable communication service providers to continue operating for another 24 hours, after which network disruptions will commence, he added...

UN General Assembly backs membership for Palestine

('At the UN General Assembly, Israeli Ambassador Gilad Erdan takes to the podium and uses a paper shredder to destroy the UN Charter, moments prior to a pivotal vote aimed at expanding Palestinian privileges within the UN framework.' I am surprised he wasn't wearing a star of david on his lapel like last time but I guess he got to much flak for it)

from RT

The UN General Assembly passed a resolution accepting Palestine as the 194th member of the world body on Friday. The US has previously vetoed Palestinian statehood at the Security Council, however.

Palestine has been a non-voting observer in the global body since 2012. The new resolution would grant it “new rights and privileges,” as well as full membership if approved by the Security Council. It was adopted with 143 votes in favor, nine against, and 25 abstentions.

US Deputy Ambassador Robert Wood said his government was opposed to the resolution, indicating that Washington would veto Palestinian membership at the council again – as it did last month.

Friday’s resolution included an expression of “deep regret and concern” by the General Assembly that the US had vetoed the admission of Palestine on April 18, and urged the council to “reconsider the matter favorably” in line with the UN Charter and decisions by the International Court of Justice...

Read an article on the student intifada censored by The Boston Globe

from the Electronic Intifada

Editor’s note: The following article was commissioned by The Boston Globe. The newspaper refused, however, to publish it.

The Nakba is noted as the mass, violent exodus of approximately 800,000 Palestinians.

It was forced by Zionist militias between 1947 and 1949. However, Palestinians know the Nakba never ended.

This perpetuation of violence can most recently be seen through the ongoing genocide of my people in Gaza, where the US and Israel are allied in a machine of destruction and death, resulting in almost 35,000 people being massacred so far, thousands stuck under the rubble, and most of Gaza’s 2.3 million people displaced.

The experience of the Palestinian diaspora, although nothing in comparison to the active ethnic cleansing and genocide being experienced by Palestinians in Gaza, has been amplified in difficulty in the past months. College campuses, falsely paraded as the vanguard of free speech and debate in this country, have become a hotbed for repression of Palestinian activism.

In October, a peaceful sit-in for divestment from this genocide at my school, University of Massachusetts Amherst, was met with the arrests of 56 students and one staff member.

Javier Reyes, the university’s chancellor, chose to level wanton university code of conduct sanctions on these students, even though previous sit-ins were not punished with sanctions even after arrests, and even still after the criminal charges were dropped...

Israel expands attacks throughout Rafah, intensifying catastrophic humanitarian conditions

from WSWS

Israel’s attacks on the southern city of Rafah continued Thursday amid reports that talks between Israeli and Hamas representatives on a ceasefire in Cairo have broken down. The long-planned attack on the last refuge for Gaza’s Palestinians, where some 1.5 million people are crammed together, has blocked the main border crossings for aid into the enclave, further worsening the humanitarian catastrophe.

The Rafah border crossing between Egypt and Gaza and the Karem Abu Salem crossing from Israel into the enclave have been closed since the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) began bombarding eastern Rafah. Israel claimed that the Karem Abu Salem crossing was reopened Wednesday, but there are no confirmed reports of aid deliveries reaching Gaza. According to Gaza’s Government Media Office, Israel has blocked some 400 trucks from delivering supplies in the past 48 hours...

HIND'S HALL - Macklemore's new song

 


King Bibi's Land Grab

from Truth Seeker

If you’ve ever taken a lifesaving course, you know there’s a real possibility that a drowning person will drag you under and you’ll both die. It’s a lesson that should be kept in mind when discussing America’s relationship with Israel. (adapted from)@LarryBoorstein

On Monday, Israel intensified its airstrikes on Rafah, bombing more than 50 sites in the heart of the city. Video footage on Twitter showed plumes of smoke rising from the makeshift encampments and residential buildings where more than 1.4 million refugees are presently huddled in the most densely populated place on earth. Israel’s air campaign was accompanied by a sizable ground-offensive that deployed tanks and armored vehicles to the southern border where Israeli troops quickly seized the Rafah Crossing without resistance.

The sudden uptick in violence has triggered widespread panic among the Palestinians many of who have already gathered their families and belongings onto carts and buses and fled northward to safety. The opening assault on the civilian enclave is reminiscent of earlier attacks on Gaza City and Khan Younis both of which followed a similar pattern. The launching of random bombings is designed to amplify feelings of terror within the population while the humanitarian blockade tightens the stranglehold on critical food and medical supplies. The objective here is not to kill as many Palestinians as possible, but to force them into sprawling tent cities where they will languish amid the rubble until the international community finds a way to spirit them out of the country. For Israel, the endgame has always been ethnic cleansing, a comprehensive erasure of the native population. The ground invasion of Rafah represents the final phase of that maniacal strategy. This is from an article at the World Socialist Web Site:

The assault on Rafah comes despite the acceptance by Hamas Monday of a proposal for a temporary cessation of hostilities in exchange for the release of hostages. But after spending weeks attempting to blame the Palestinians for the ongoing war, Israeli officials flatly rejected the proposal….

New York Times' Pulitzer Prize for Gaza war coverage a travesty of journalism

(al Jazeera, Electronic Intifada or Mondoweiss should have won the award based on what they claimed was the criteria. Hell, Haartz does a more honest job covering the conflict/genocide than the NYT does. For that matter, so do I. But this is just another way for the zionist establishment to put yet another phony stamp of approval on their hasbara lies. The West is irredeemably corrupt to the core.)

from PressTV

The New York Times has won the Pulitzer Prize for its coverage of the October 7 Hamas-led operation into the occupied territories and its aftermath even though the newspaper has been slammed for distorting the facts about the war and whitewashing the Israeli regime’s genocidal crimes in Gaza.

On Monday, the New York Times staff walked away with a Pulitzer in international reporting for its “wide-ranging and revelatory coverage” of Hamas-led Operation Al-Aqsa Storm, the intelligence failures of theIsraeli regime and its no-holds-barredmilitary aggression on Gaza.

The award, understandably,triggereda backlash from pro-Palestine activistsas the newspaper has been widely criticized for its biased coverage of the war, for instructing journalists to avoid using terms like “genocide,” and for amplifying the bogus Oct. 7 “sexual violence” claims made by the Israeli regime...

Piers Morgan FED UP With Israeli Spokesperson's LIES (til he lets him off the hook)

by Scott Creighton

In a video from Majority Report we see a couple folks (Sam and someone else) discussing Piers Morgan's interview with Israeli spokesperson in which Piers appears to grill him about the number of civilians the IDF have killed in Gaza.

Since I just gave you the numbers in my previous article, I thought I would take a look at how these guys evaluate Piers' interview.

At first Piers seems to really stick it to the lying clown from Israel. He even gets him to sit there for 10 seconds staring at the camera with nothing too say like Cyraxx trying to think of his next lie.


 

But then the liar admits HE KNOWS THE REAL NUMBERS AND WONT TELL PIERS. That's right. The truth slips out.

Neither Piers Morgan NOR the tools at Majority Report seem to catch the liar's little slip up and both continue to act AS IF the guy really doesn't know the truth.

You can bet I wont though.

Netanyahu Shows Map of 'New Middle East'—Without Palestine—to UN General Assembly

from Common Dreams published SEPT 22 2023


 

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu angered Palestinians and their defenders Friday after presenting a map of "The New Middle East" without Palestine during his speech to the United Nations General Assembly in New York.

Speaking to a largely empty chamber, Netanyahu—whose far-right government is widely considered the most extreme in Israeli history—showed a series of maps, including one that did not show the West Bank, East Jerusalem, or Gaza. These Palestinian territories have been illegally occupied by Israel since 1967, with the exception of Gaza—from which Israeli forces withdrew in 2005, while maintaining an economic stranglehold over the densely populated coastal strip.

Middle East Eye reported Netanyahu also held up a map of "Israel in 1948"—the year the modern Jewish state was established, largely through the ethnic cleansing of more than 750,000 Arabs—that erroneously included the Palestinian territories as part of Israel.

Palestinian Ambassador to Germany Laith Arafeh said on social media that there is "no greater insult to every foundational principle of the United Nations than seeing Netanyahu display before the UNGA a 'map of Israel' that straddles the entire land from the river to the sea, negating Palestine and its people, then attempting to spin the audience with rhetoric about 'peace' in the region, all the while entrenching the longest ongoing belligerent occupation in today's world."...

Interesting talk from Giordano. Not sure how much of it I buy since so many of these scientists will oversell their research hoping for more funding (remember Remote Viewing and psychic warriors?) but still something we should be paying attention to.

and 539 'civilians'

by Scott Creighton

Every day Israel's lies become clearer to those willing to see thru them.

Here are the actual casualty/fatality statistics compiled by sources on both sides of the conflict. As you can, when we were told 1,800 Israelis were killed on Oct. 7th, that was a lie. When we were told that number was actually 1,400, that too was a lie. Now the number is 1,200 and, once again, lie.

INTERACTIVE-LIVE-TRACKER-GAZA-May7-2024-0820GMT_1080x1080-1715250035

The total number of fatalities suffered by Israel since the start of this thing, numbers that include all IDF soldiers killed in action INSIDE GAZA, come to 1,139. As you can see, the source of the Israeli numbers are both the IDF and the Israeli Social Security administration. And they have had plenty of time to search the areas inside Israel where the conflict took place.

According to Barrons (who cited AFP) and according to Asharq al Awsat (featured on front page of Google search) the IDF had lost 600 soldiers in the conflict since Oct. 7th 2023. The date that number was reported by the IDF themselves, was March 31.

That was a month and a half ago.

Do the math.

539. 539 is the number of reported Israeli civilian casualties total. 

War crime concerns grow after discovery of another mass grave in Gaza hospital

from PressTV


Concerns of potential war crimes have been raised after the discovery of a third mass grave in the remains of Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza which has been under the Israeli bombardment since October last year.

The graves were found to contain bodies without heads following the Israeli military siege on the Gaza hospitals.

The Palestinian resistance group Hamas called the discovery of the new mass grave further proof of the Israeli occupation army's brutality towards Palestinians and the medical field, according to a statement released on Wednesday.

The statement added that the Israeli occupation is undermining the livelihoods of Gaza residents to carry out its agenda of elimination and displacement.

It also demanded the opening of an independent international investigation into the crimes against humanity committed by the occupying entity against medical staff, the wounded, the sick, the displaced, and civilians in general.

At least 49 bodies were discovered by health workers at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City on Wednesday, according to a medical official and Gaza authorities. This marks the latest finding at the facility, which had been previously raided by Israeli forces.

Seven mass graves have been uncovered across the Gaza Strip during the Israeli war launched in October last year, with three in Al-Shifa Hospital, three in Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis, and one in Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza...

Israeli PM, CIA chief Burns discuss 'pausing' Rafah invasion

from Daily Sabah

The top U.S. intelligence chief William Burns and Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu talked about "pausing" the country's ongoing invasion of Rafah in Gaza, amid global outcry about Tel Aviv's monthslong violations of international law.

Netanyahu and the U.S. spy chief, who has been involved in mediation efforts in the Israel-Hamas war, met in Jerusalem as part of Washington's latest efforts to secure a truce in the Gaza Strip.

"The two discussed the possibility of Israel pausing the operation in Rafah in exchange for hostage release," the Israeli official told AFP on condition of anonymity.

The meeting came as truce negotiations resumed in Cairo, after Hamas on Monday announced it had accepted a cease-fire proposal from mediators Egypt and Qatar.

Israel has defied international objections and sent tanks into Rafah, the Hamas-ruled territory's southernmost city on the Egyptian border which is packed with Palestinian civilians sheltering...

Telegraph newspaper claims UK will not sign Pandemic Treaty

from Meryl Nass substack

 Not sure I believe them. They do not provide the source for the claim. But still, it means we are now cooking with gas!

Britain is refusing to sign the World Health Organisation’s pandemic treaty while it insists the UK would have to give away a fifth of its jabs, The Telegraph understands.

The UK is firmly against such vaccine-related commitments and will not sign any form of the pandemic agreement that undermines Britain’s sovereignty.

Representatives of the WHO’s 194 member states are halfway through talks to try to agree to the WHO Pandemic Agreement, an initiative first announced in May 2021.

At the peak of the Covid emergency, nations planned to sign a legally binding document, informally known as the pandemic treaty, or pandemic accord, that would force countries to tackle the next global health emergency in a united way.

Under the terms of the latest draft of the treaty, now in its ninth and final iteration, all member states, including the UK, would be obliged to give up 20 per cent of “pandemic-related health products” to other countries and would be prevented from stockpiling supplies. This would include therapeutics, PPE and vaccines.

The WHO document states the UN-run agency would get “real-time access” to 10 per cent of these products for free, and 10 per cent “at affordable prices”...

Biden Cut a Deal with Bibi to Allow for Temporary Invasion of Rafah for Political Gains

After a couple days Bibi will sign the cease-fire deal (then will violate it when he needs to) and tell the rabid zionist psychos he 'won' and stuck it to America at the same time. Biden gets to claim victory as well while the people of Gaza suffer even more. Our 'leaders' are craven sycophantic sociopaths.

Negev: Israel carries out largest demolition of Palestinian homes in years

(H/T to reader) from Middle East Eye

Israeli bulldozers, under the protection of police forces, on Wednesday destroyed 47 Bedouin homes in the southern Negev region, in the largest day of demolitions in years.

The demolitions, near Umm Butin village, targeted the houses of members of the same family, Abu Asa, leaving hundreds of them without a home.

Israeli authorities carried out the demolition under the pretext that the structures did not have the proper building permits, which are very rarely granted to Palestinian Bedouins in the Negev desert, known as the Naqab in Arabic.

Several Abu Asa family members decided to burn down their own homes prior to the operation rather than watch the Israelis destroy them. One Palestinian, Ahmed Abu Asa, was arrested after he tried to obstruct the bulldozers...

US Report on Israel’s Conduct in Gaza Strip Delayed Indefinitely – Reports

(The Biden administration has also cut a deal, quietly and behind the scenes. with Netanyahu to give him 3 days to bomb Rafah in order to appease the rabid racist greedy Zionists in Israel (and beyond) before he accepts the cease fire deal Hamas agreed to 3 days ago. The thinking is that Bibi will kill a bunch more civilians in Gaza so he can then tell the ultra-right ghouls in his war cabinet that they took out Hamas in Rafah and they wont disband his coalition when he signs the agreement to appease the citizens of Israel. Of course, when it comes to Israel, no cease fire deal has any weight to it, since they will always violate them whenever it is politically advantageous for them to do so. These are vile people. That's why the Biden admin made a big deal out of halting weapons shipments to Israel a couple days ago. To make it look like they tried to stop the pending invasion when in fact, they approved of it. I hope this costs Biden his presidential bid but we all know what electronic voting machines do so likely it wont.)

from Aletho News

The Biden administration’s report on whether Israel violated US law and international humanitarian law during its military operations in the Gaza Strip has been delayed indefinitely, Politico reported on Tuesday.

If the report determines that US and international law have been violated, the Biden administration would be expected to stop sending military assistance to Israel.

The administration emailed Congress notifying lawmakers that it will miss the deadline to submit the report but did not provide additional details.

When the National Security Council was asked to explain the delay, they referred any inquiries to the State Department.

Earlier on Tuesday, State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said that the US government is trying very hard to meet the “self-imposed deadline.”

Miller said it is possible to “slip” a little bit, but the administration is trying to get the report done by Wednesday.

On Monday night, some 200 attorneys, 27 of whom are currently in the Biden administration, sent a letter to top US officials arguing that sending weapons to Israel would be illegal.

The report’s delay comes as Israel started a military operation in Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, where some 1.4 million Palestinians – are sheltering...

Gazans salute university students’ uprising for Palestine

from Mondoweiss

As Israel’s invasion of Rafah has begun, people in Gaza are holding out hope that international pressure will force Israel to refrain from going further in its genocidal campaign. A part of that hope is tied to the heroic actions of university students across the U.S. who are rising up for Gaza and for Palestine. 

A week before the most recent escalation of Israel’s military campaign, people in Gaza were writing messages on placards in their displacement camps, thanking the students for reminding the people of Gaza that they are not alone and that entire generations in the U.S., the largest supporter of the war machine eliminating Palestinian life in Gaza, are committed to putting a stop to the genocide.

In front of the displacement camps, children stand to deliver a message of thanks to the solidarity protests. In front of the al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, a group of doctors holds a conference thanking the students. Likewise, in markets and public places, activists participate on social media holding up signs also thanking the free students defending the rights of Palestinians.

The media spokesman for al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, Dr. Khalil Al-Dakran, expressed thanks on behalf of Palestinian doctors in a message he read at a vigil...

State Cop Thugs Attack Kids at UMass Amherst While ONLY ONE of her Fellow Protesters Had the Balls to Do Something

 by Scott Creighton

This is how the thugs in our police forces deal with young idealistic kids just trying to stop a genocide at UMass Amherst. 


 

These cowardly pigs are afraid of everything and everyone. It's like they are back occupying Iraq and Afghanistan all over again. Everyone is the enemy and above all else, fuck 'to protect and serve', their main mantra is... 'no matter what, no matter who you hurt, make sure you go home safe and let the lawyers work it out'  These are cowards with badges and guns who just want to put in their 20 years, get a fat state pension and retire to Florida like all their heroes. 

Of course, it would have been nice if more than just one skinny kid came to the aid of that little girl being attacked by the BlueLineThugs. A little solidarity goes a long way. Ever seen that video of the water buffaloes in Africa rising up against lions? The strong turn and attack as the lions pounce on the weaker buffaloes. They don't just stand their doing nothing but filming it for TicTok clout.

Should take a lesson from this kids. We stand together or we fail along. Better learn that lesson quick especially if you are talking about Palestinians. They learned this shit a long long time ago.

‘The goal is to destroy Gaza’: Why Israel rejects a ceasefire with Hamas

from al Jazeera

Israel appears to have been blindsided by Hamas’s announcement on Monday that it had agreed to an Egyptian-Qatari ceasefire proposal. But the Israeli government quickly made its position clear – the proposal wasn’t something it would agree to, and, to make matters more explicit, its military forces took control of the Palestinian side of Egypt’s border with Gaza in Rafah.

For many analysts, the Israeli government’s message is clear: there will be no permanent ceasefire, and the devastating war on Gaza will continue.

“Israel wants to reserve the right to continue operations in Gaza,” said Mairav Zonszein, a senior analyst on Israel-Palestine for the International Crisis Group (ICG).

She added that a deal seems impossible as long as Israel refuses to end the war, for good.

“If you enter a ceasefire deal, then you will [eventually] need a ceasefire,” she told Al Jazeera...

At least 35 killed in Israeli strikes on Rafah as vital aid corridors cut off

from PressTV

Nearly three dozen Palestinian civilians, including women and children, have been killed as Israeli military forces bombed various neighborhoods in the southern Gaza Strip city of Rafah.

Medical sources at Kuwait Specialized Hospital in Rafah, located 30 kilometers (19 miles) southwest of Gaza City, said 35 people were killed and 129 others injured as a result of the Israeli offensives in the last 24 hours.

The official Palestinian news agency WAFA, citing medical sources, also reported that seven Palestinian citizens, including children, were killed in the early hours of Wednesday in an Israeli bombing of al-Zaytoun neighborhood, east of Gaza City. Several others were injured as well.

Local sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Israeli warplanes targeted an apartment in a residential building near al-Falah School in the Asqoula area of al-Zaytoun neighborhood, killing a man, his wife and their children...

There’s one thing standing in the way of a ceasefire: Netanyahu’s refusal to compromise

from The Guardian

The latest twists and turns in negotiations to end the war in Gaza appear labyrinthine and confusing. But it’s really not that complicated. Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s prime minister, must compromise on the outstanding details of the proposed ceasefire deal and Hamas’s weekend counter-offer – and immediately halt Israel’s criminal bombing of Gaza and reckless military incursions into refugee-populated areas around Rafah.

For its part, Hamas must honour previous understandings about the staged release of Israeli hostages and cease its crude, last-minute haggling, especially about exactly how many Palestinian detainees, and which ones, are freed in return. Its priority should be alleviating the plight of Gaza’s civilians, not scoring points. Its demands that Israel agree a “permanent” end to the war at this stage were always unrealistic...

Israeli attack on Rafah has US blessing – media

from RT

Israel’s invasion of Rafah is being carried out “with full American coordination,” Qatari news site Al Araby reported on Tuesday. While Washington has publicly refused to back the operation, Al Araby’s sources say the White House gave Israel the green light so it could score a symbolic victory before signing a ceasefire deal.

After pounding the densely-populated city with airstrikes, Israeli tanks and troops entered the eastern districts of Rafah on Monday night. As of Tuesday morning, the Israeli military said that it had taken “operational control” of the Gaza side of the Rafah border crossing, which links the Palestinian enclave with Egypt.

The operation, which involves Israeli armor and special forces, “came after the Egyptian side was notified of it, and with full American coordination,” Al Araby reported, citing anonymous sources.

Hours before the IDF began its attack on Rafah, US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller told reporters that Washington does “not support Israel launching a full-scale military operation in Rafah.” With around 1.4 million displaced Palestinians sheltering there, Miller said that “a military operation in Rafah right now would dramatically increase the suffering of the Palestinian people.”

Behind the scenes, however, American officials gave Israel a different message. “The American administration has given [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu a green light for a limited, short-term operation, which may take several days, to achieve an image of victory that he can market to far-right ministers,” an unnamed Western source in Cairo told Al Araby.

When the operation concludes, the source claimed, Netanyahu will approve a Qatari- and Egyptian-brokered ceasefire deal okayed by Hamas earlier on Monday,..

Explainer: What are the contours of Gaza truce deal accepted by Hamas?

from PressTV

"The Hamas announcement appears to be a ruse designed to cast Israel as the side refusing a deal," the unnamed official was quoted as saying by Reuters.

The far-right regime minister Itamar Ben-Gvir also claimed that Hamas’s acceptance of a ceasefire is a "trick"...

...

What are the contours of the truce deal?

The long-awaited truce deal outlines a three-phased approach to an agreement between the Israeli regime and Hamas in Gaza. Each stage would last at least six weeks.

Key points include the release of Israeli captives in exchange for Palestinian prisoners, the return of displaced persons, the provision of humanitarian aid, the withdrawal of forces, and reconstruction work.

Here's a detailed breakdown of each stage:

US, EU slam far-right Israeli minister’s ‘racist’ claim his rights outweigh that of Palestinians

from CNN... AUG 2023 (before Oct 7th)

The United States and European Union Friday slammed comments by far-right Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir that his right to life outweighs Palestinians’ right to freedom of movement in the occupied West Bank.

“We strongly condemn Minister Ben Gvir’s racist, destructive comments on the freedom of movement of Palestinian residents of the West Bank,” a US State Department spokesperson said.

“Such messages are particularly damaging when amplified by those in leadership positions… President [Joe] Biden and Secretary [of State Antony] Blinken have been clear that both Israelis and Palestinians deserve to enjoy equal measures of freedom and security.”

The European Union also strongly condemned the remarks, saying: “All human beings are equal and should be treated the same way.”...

Harsh Israeli rhetoric against Palestinians becomes central to South Africa’s genocide case

from AP

Fighting “human animals.” Making Gaza a “slaughterhouse.” “Erasing the Gaza Strip from the face of the earth.”

Such inflammatory rhetoric is a key component of South Africa’s case accusing Israel of genocide at the U.N. world court, a charge that Israel denies. South Africa says the language — in comments by Israeli leaders, soldiers and entertainers about Palestinians in Gaza since Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack sparked war — is proof of Israel’s intent to commit genocide.

Israeli leaders have downplayed the comments, and some in Israel say they’re a result of the trauma from Hamas’ attack.

Rights groups and activists say they’re an inevitable byproduct of Israel’s decades-old, open-ended rule over the Palestinians and that they’ve intensified during the war. They say such language has been left unchecked, inciting violence and dehumanizing Palestinians...

Database exposes 500 instances of Israeli incitement to genocide in Gaza

from TRT World

Europe-based NGO, Law for Palestine, unveils more than 500 cases of incitement to genocide and ethnic cleansing against Palestinians by Israeli decision-makers, lawmakers, army personnel, and intellectuals.

A non-profit human rights organisation has revealed a shocking evidence of over 500 instances of Israeli officials advocating for genocide against Palestinians in besieged Gaza.

"Our documentation encompasses over 500 incitements of violence and genocidal incitement, appearing in the forms of social media posts, television interviews, and official statements from Israeli politicians, army personnel, journalists, and other influential personalities," the Europe-based Law for Palestine said on Thursday.

"These reprehensible incitements have been categorised into significant thematic areas, including genocidal intent, forced displacement, and collective punishment," the NGO said.

What's truly unsettling is that this evidence comes straight from the top, said the NGO, adding it emanated from the upper echelons of the Israeli government, "including the president, prime minister, Knesset members, military personnel, and law enforcement."...

Congressman praises heckling of Israel-Hamas war protesters: 'Ole Miss taking care of business'

 'Israel-Hamas war demonstrations at the University of Mississippi turned ugly this week when one counter-protester appeared to make monkey noises and gestures at a Black student in a raucous gathering that was endorsed by a far-right congressman from Georgia. “Ole Miss taking care of business,” Republican U.S. Rep. Mike Collins wrote Friday on the social platform X with a with a link to the video showing the racist jeers.' AP


Seems like this situation has allowed certain folks the ability to think they can finally let their racist side out into the sunshine for a little while. People like these can't say anything about blacks or Chinese or Mexicans anymore.. but damn it all... those 'terrorists' let them unload all their racist hate on Muslims or Arabs or Palestinians.

Saying someone is a 'Palestinian supporter' is the new 'Nigger Lover' slur for these scumbags and as you can tell, they revel in it.

Most of them were too smart to let their hate flow too freely. Not that one dude. He's done. I wonder how he will fare in his next class sitting next to his darker skinned fellow classmates.

Israel attacks Rafah despite global outcry

from Daily Sabah

The Israeli military said it was conducting airstrikes in eastern Rafah, as the cabinet unanimously decided to continue attacks, completely ignoring international calls to stop its plans to invade the area, where around 1.5 million Palestinians, including at least 600,000 children, are seeking refuge after months of attacks.

The move came hours after Hamas announced it had accepted an Egyptian-Qatari cease-fire proposal, which could end seven months of war in Gaza.

However, it's uncertain whether a deal has been sealed. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said that the proposal was "far from Israel's essential demands," but that it would nonetheless send negotiators to continue talks on a cease-fire agreement.

Earlier Monday, Israel's military said it ordered around 100,000 people to evacuate Rafah, signaling the ground invasion, which rights experts said could amount to war crimes, could be imminent.

The U.N. human rights chief slammed Israel's order to relocate Palestinian civilians from Rafah as being "inhumane," saying that it threatens to expose them to further danger and misery, as he warned that such acts can amount to a war crime...
