A leading Israeli news site quotes Netanyahu telling his top general, 2 days after Oct 7, to ‘take down houses, bomb with everything you have.’ An admission of war crimes from the horse’s mouth. Let’s see how the hasbarists try spin this. www.ynet.co.il/yedioth/arti...

Or use food as a weapon of war Or bomb civilians, schools, churches and hospitals Or murder tens of thousands of children Or displace millions and occupy their homes But Israel does all that. Israel is a terrorist state.

A man in Gaza stands on top of a water truck, holding a large hose. The background shows palm trees and buildings under a clear blue sky. Overlaid text reads: “Israel must not be allowed to use water as a weapon of war.” The Amnesty International logo appears in the bottom right corner.

For 20 days, Israel has sealed off Gaza from any aid or goods access. The occupation is starving Palestinians in Gaza while renewing its relentless genocidal bombing. Made possible by the USA.

ICE detained Julio Noriega, a 54 year-old US citizen who was born in Chicago, for over 10 hours on January 31st. He was walking around "Berwyn, Illinois, handing out his resume to local businesses." They didn't show him a warrant. They didn't give him paperwork. And he's now suing.

Israël a repris des bombardements d'une rare intensité à Gaza faisant plus de 200 morts dont beaucoup d'enfants et des familles entières, notamment à Khan Younis. Les génocidaires ont affirmé avoir eu l'accord de l'administration Trump pour commettre ces boucheries.

Once you establish that people can be punished because the administration doesn't like their speech, expanding the bounds of who can be treated that way becomes inevitable.

Republicans claim to care about the debt, but they never want to tax the rich. They only want to take it from the health care and programs for the poor and elderly — while CUTTING taxes on the rich. It’s not about efficiency. And they don’t care about the debt. It’s a con.

Take a moment today to read about a few of the young children whom Trump and Musk killed by shutting down USAID. The blame for these deaths falls on them. There will be hundreds of thousands more dead kids before their lethal crusade against foreign aid ends. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
Another household kept alive by American aid was that of Jennifer Inyaa, a 35-year-old single mom, and her 5-year-old son, Evan Anzoo, both of them H.I.V.-positive. Last month, after the aid shutdown, Inyaa became sick and died, and a week later Evan died as well, according to David Iraa Simon, a community health worker who assisted them. Decisions by billionaires in Washington quickly cost the lives of a mother and her son.
"Many more children will die in the coming weeks," said Margret Amjuma, a health worker who confirmed the deaths of Peter and Achol.

Israel violates the cease fire in Gaza every single day. They've murdered hundreds of Palestinians since it was signed. And we all know that as soon as one act of resistance happens, it will be hyper-amplified in the western media, and Israel will use it as a pretext to massacre thousands more.

One day, after hundreds of Israeli attacks in violation of the cease fire, there will be one Israeli soldier or civilian killed. At which point Israel, the US and the entire western media will call it a cease fire violation, and Israel will massacre 1000s of children in Lebanon, Palestine or Syria.

What it boils down to is that Israel and its American supporters are singlehandedly killing free speech - and democracy - in the US. That's all there is to it. Americans can be jailed or deported for criticizing Israel today. Tomorrow it will be Trump, Musk and the rest that will be off limits.
