Israel uses US weapons to kill Palestinian ‘children without restraint’, rights group says

from PressTV

 

A Geneva-based rights group says Israel is using American weapons to kill Palestinian "children without restraint" in the besieged Gaza Strip and the occupied West Bank, calling on the United States to stop shipping arms and military equipment to the occupying regime.

In a statement on Thursday, the Defense for Children International (DCI) strongly urged Washington to halt its flow of arms to the Tel Aviv regime after Israeli soldiers killed two teenage boys in the city of Jenin two days earlier.

“The United States must stop sending weapons to the Israeli military that are used to kill Palestinian children without restraint, whether in Gaza or Jenin,” the organization said.

Two 15-year-old Palestinian teenagers were shot dead by Israeli snipers in the Jenin refugee camp on Tuesday morning.

“Mahmoud Amjad Ismail Hamadneh & Osama Mohammad Naim Abdulatif Hujair, both 15, were shot and killed by Israeli forces during a military incursion into Jenin yesterday. Mahmoud was killed while riding his bike on his way home from school,” the rights group said in a post on X on Wednesday...

ICC has no evidence for 7 October rapes, documents indicate

 (This is the same thing they did to Gadhafi, filed charges against him based on what our regime change assets told them, not on facts.)

from Electronic Intifada

There are many vexing aspects to Monday’s announcement by International Criminal Court chief prosecutor Karim Khan that he is seeking arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, defense minister Yoav Gallant and three leaders of the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas.

That he should charge the leaders of a legitimate resistance against military occupation and equate them with the leaders of a criminal regime that is perpetrating genocide is questionable enough – one theme explored in an excellent commentary on the indictments by Justin Podur on his YouTube channel The Anti-Empire Project.

It is particularly bizarre that Khan would charge Ismail Haniyeh, the Hamas politburo chief and a civilian political leader who almost certainly had no role whatsoever in planning the 7 October resistance operation.

That can only be aimed at delegitimizing Hamas in line with Western political imperatives. It may well hamper Haniyeh’s constructive role as an interlocutor and mediator in efforts to negotiate a ceasefire, something Hamas has been trying to do in the face of consistent US-backed Israeli rejectionism.

But that Khan has charged Haniyeh, along with Hamas’ Gaza leader Yayha Sinwar and its military commander Muhammad Deif with sexual violence and rape is absurd.

Although it is only an accusation, the fact that the ICC prosecutor seeks formal charges adds weight and credibility to the claims, and will thus feed the notion that there is some factual basis to Israel’s entirely debunked atrocity propaganda about Hamas using rape and sexual violence as a weapon of war...

Iranians ‘better off’ without Raisi – Blinken

 (Our politicians always have to bend the knee to the free market regime changers.)

from RT

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has claimed Iranians are “probably better off” without President Ebrahim Raisi, who was killed along with several other senior officials in a helicopter crash on Sunday. The US diplomat made the remarks while defending his department for offering its condolences over Raisi’s death, arguing it was merely a formality.

The State Department had expressed its “official condolences” in a brief statement on Monday, while reaffirming Washington’s “support for the Iranian people and their struggle for human rights and fundamental freedoms.”

Blinken was grilled about the statement during a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on Tuesday, when Senator John Barrasso (R-WY) claimed it was “shocking” that the administration would mourn a “sworn enemy of the free world.”

“We expressed official condolences as we’ve done when countries – adversaries, enemies or not – have lost leaders,” Blinken explained. “It changes nothing about the fact that Mr. Raisi was engaged in reprehensible conduct, including repressing his own people for many years.”...

AP condemns Israel's obstruction of live Gaza feed

 (When you are trying to argue you aren't committing genocide, it's kinda hard when the press shows up and live-streams you committing genocide)

from Daily Sabah

The Associated Press decried Israel's shutdown of its live feed showing Gaza for exploiting the country's newly passed foreign broadcaster law.

"The Associated Press decries in the strongest terms the actions of the Israeli government to shut down our longstanding live feed showing a view into Gaza and seize AP equipment," Lauren Easton, vice president of corporate communications at AP, said in a statement.

"The shutdown was not based on the content of the feed but rather an abusive use by the Israeli government of the country's new foreign broadcaster law," Easton added.

Officials from the Israeli Communications Ministry arrived at the AP office in Sderot in southern Israel and seized a camera and broadcasting equipment. They handed the agency a piece of paper signed by Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi accusing the news agency of violating Israel's foreign broadcaster law.

Israeli authorities accused the global news agency of providing images to the Qatar-funded Al Jazeera television, one of thousands of clients that receive live video feeds from the AP and other news organizations...

Are you chatting with a pro-Israeli AI-powered superbot?

from al Jazeera

As Israel's assault on Gaza continues on the ground, a parallel battle rages on social media between people and bots.

Lebanese researchers Ralph Baydoun and Michel Semaan, from research and strategic communications consulting firm InflueAnswers, decided to monitor how what seemed like “Israeli” bots have behaved on social media since October 7.

Early on, Baydoun and Semaan said, pro-Palestinian accounts dominated the social media space. Soon, they noticed, pro-Israeli comments increased vastly.

“The idea is that if a [pro-Palestinian] activist posts something, within five... 10… or 20 minutes or a day, a significant amount of [comments on their post] are now pro-Israeli,” Semaan said.

“Almost every tweet is essentially bombarded and swarmed by many accounts, all of whom follow very similar patterns, all of whom seem almost human.”

But they are not human. They are bots...

Ireland, Norway, Spain formally recognize Palestinian state

from PressTV

Ireland, Norway and Spain have formally recognized the Palestinian state, angering the Israeli regime that recalled its ambassadors from the two European states.

“Today Ireland, Norway and Spain are announcing that we recognize the state of Palestine, each of us will undertake whatever national steps are necessary to give effect to that decision," Irish Prime Minister Simon Harris said at a news conference in Dublin on Wednesday.

“I am confident that further countries will join us in taking this important step in the coming weeks.”

He added that the move was a statement of "unequivocal support" for the so-called two-state solution, which he described as "the only credible path to peace and security."

Shortly after Harris's statement, his Spanish counterpart Pedro Sanchez and Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store said both countries will recognize the Palestine state from May 28.

Sanchez said it is clear is that “[Israeli] prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu does not have a project of peace for Palestine.”..

New Pandemic of the Vaccinated is Upon Us

 by Scott Creighton

 

All those experimental mRNA jabs are sitting around in warehouses doing no billionaires any good so all of a sudden we have a summer of Covid facing us once more.

It's the new Pandemic of the Vaccinated, folks. Watch this sales pitch from some TV 'news' outlet down under as they get their own 'journalist' to play the part of the sick guy to push their audience to get out there and get more jabs. Get a booster jab. Get the antivirals. Get it all they say. That's 'news' folks.

Notice he mentions he has already had a total of 6 'vaccines' for Covid-19 and this is NOT his first bout with the Rona.

That's a hell of a good product there, right?

Pfizer's stock is dropping. Sales are next to zero. They have a lot of product waiting to be jabbed into unwitting arms so here we go again with yet another Plandemic fear mongering campaign.

Yeah, the Bird Flu is next on the program for us but that doesn't mean they are going to stop trying to move their existing product. Lots of tests to be run on the gullible during the Pandemic of the Vaccinated.

Good luck folks.

Gaza is Exposing a Ton of Shit Including AIPAC Buying Our Corrupt Congress

The New AIPAC Talking Point Straight from Our Leader Bibi's Mouth: ICC is Coming for YOU Next!!!

 by Scott Creighton

Sometimes, if you let your adversaries keep talking, they'll tell you all about themselves without wanting to. A confession, if you will.

Apparently the apologist collaborators in D.C. have been handed their new talking point when it comes to justifying going after the ICC for daring to accuse certain citizens of Glorious Israel of committing genocide and war crimes in Gaza and that talking point is: we're next!!!

Yep. The 'hand out palm up' crowd are all parroting this talking point in unison suggesting if they don't nip this accountability thing in the bud, then international law might just start applying to us as well. And what a horrible thing that would be.

Here's one war criminal's statement:

Mike Pompeo

@mikepompeo

Targeting Israel is the first step before the ICC comes after Americans. The Biden Administration should immediately sanction the corrupt and anti-Israel ICC.

And here is another's:

To kick off this new hasbara campaign, Bibi Netanyahu went on Jake Tapper's show on CNN yesterday and set the talking point in stone for our collaborators like Moses coming down from the mount with engraved tablets:

"Israel is given here a bum rap. I think it's dangerous. Basically, it's the first democracy being taken to the dock when it is doing exactly what democracies should be doing in an exemplary way," he told Tapper. "It endangers all other democracies. Israel is first, but you're next. Britain is next. Others are next, too." Netanyahu

That's right. According to Netanyahu, 'democracies' should kill over 15,000 innocent children and steal the land from another people when THEIR OWN military opens fire on THEIR OWN citizens out of panic, cowardice or Zionist opportunistic depravity. 

Cus... that's what democracies do now, I guess.

Itamar Ben-Gvir promotes future Israeli settlements in Gaza

from Aletho News

An Israeli minister has once again called for the expulsion of the Palestinians from the Gaza Strip and an expansion of settlements in the besieged Palestinian territory.

Itamar Ben-Gvir in comments carried by Israel’s Maariv news site on Tuesday advocated a full military takeover of Gaza.

The far-right minister said Israel should push the Palestinians to “voluntarily” leave to make way for settlements.

“Israel should be the one that controls the Gaza Strip, unequivocally, and no one else,” Ben-Gvir said.

Most important, he said, is “encouraging voluntary emigration of Palestinians” from the territory. “I would love to live in Gaza if possible.”

Last week, the minister said the settlements called for by far-right attendees were the “true solution.”

“We must encourage emigration. Encourage the voluntary emigration of the residents of Gaza. It is moral!”...
