anyone that’s not on the left views bombing a wedding in the middle east as “peace keeping”, so this will be an inflammatory statement once again.

Am I really supposed to believe the country that probably has satellites that can read license plates from space "mistook" a school for a military complex? Totally a coincidence that their intelligence partner is the schools & hospitals bombing world champion.

Israeli soldiers were killed by brown people terrorism while Lebanese buildings simply disintegrate and Iranian school girls spontaneously stop being alive - similar to how Palestinian babies just instantly combust in well-documented examples written up by the NYT.

Israel has no "Gaza War" - not for Gaza, nor for narrative. Israel massacres Palestine as its fascist genocidal solution to the Nakba's echoes, and massacres the truth with US/EU support. Journalists, aid workers, infants, educators, athletes, poets, artists - they're obstacles to extermination.

Only 8% of Democratic voters approve of Israel’s actions in Gaza, yet 43% of Senate Democrats just further enabled them by approving another bomb shipment. www.stephensemler.com/p/which-part...
Both parties are out of step with their base on Gaza. Especially Democrats. This table compares approval and disapproval ratings of Israel’s actions in Gaza between Democrat and Republican senators and voters. For Democrats, approval is 35 percentage points higher in the Senate than it is among the voter base, while disapproval is 32 points lower. For Republicans, approval is 29 points higher and disapproval is 22 points lower. Difference = Senators % minus Voters %. Senators % reflect votes on S.J.Res.34 (30 July 2025). Voters % from Gallup poll on Israel’s actions in Gaza (29 July 2025).

DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN TO GET FOOD AND WATER IN TO GAZA. This is from Lemkin Institute begging..... we are all begging.
The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention is
calling on every single leader in the world: DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN TO GET FOOD &
WATER INTO GAZA RIGHT AWAY. Even if it takes bypassing the reports, meetings, endless conferences, parliamentary sessions, UN sessions, and all the other regular diplomatic
channels that have led nowhere. Just do it. Genocide must not be allowed to continue while we all
watch. We must not allow mass starvation in Gaza.
We cannot wait any longer. IF YOU HAVE POWER, USE IT. HISTORY WILL DEMONSTRATE THE RECTITUDE OF
YOUR ACTIONS.

Israel's security establishment has "been operating an armed militia in Gaza, whose personnel are affiliated with ISIS." When confronted with this information, Netanyahu responded: "What's wrong with that?" Pretty much says it all. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...
"What's wrong with that?" With these four supposedly innocent words, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu caused additional damage to any chance of ending the war in Gaza and returning the hostages. This is how Netanyahu reacted last week to MK Avigdor Lieberman's revelation that the Israeli security establishment has been operating an armed militia in Gaza, whose personnel are affiliated with ISIS. The leader of the militia is Yasser Abu Shabab, a member of a large Bedouin family from Rafah.

Netanyahu accused Lieberman of revealing a state secret, but by confirming the information, the prime minister himself became an accomplice. This may hamper any future efforts by Israeli intelligence services to recruit agents and collaborators.
