The US has given Israel the green light to kill civilians in Rafah despite public comments from US officials calling for Israel to come up with a plan to protect civilians in the city, which is packed with an estimated 1.5 million Palestinians.
US officials told POLITICO that the Biden administration was not planning any consequences for Israel if it went ahead with a major assault on Rafah, which would inevitably kill a huge number of civilians. “No reprimand plans are in the works, meaning Israeli forces could enter the city and harm civilians without facing American consequences,” the report reads.
White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby made clear at a press conference on Monday that the US wasn’t thinking about cutting off Israel from military aid if it went ahead with the assault. When asked if the US has threatened to withhold aid, Kirby said, “We’re going to continue to support Israel … And we’re going to continue to make sure they have the tools and the capabilities to do that.”
President Biden is also not reconsidering his full-throated support for the Israeli slaughter in Gaza despite reports of him disparaging Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in private conversations.
Congress is also on board with continuing to support the mass killing of Palestinians as the Senate voted to pass a $95 billion foreign military aid bill that includes $14 billion for Israel. Only 20 Republicans voted for the bill, but the opposition is due to the lack of a border deal, as virtually all Republicans are in favor of unconditional support for Israel, even more so than Democrats in Congress.
Rafah’s pre-war population was 275,000, meaning Palestinians displaced from other areas of the Strip increased the population fivefold. The majority of the Palestinians in the city are sheltering in tents in the streets, leaving them especially vulnerable to an Israeli attack. Israeli airstrikes on Rafah on Sunday night into Monday morning killed 27 children and 22 women.
I have no words for this ogre and his administration.
About half of Americans believe the genocide of Arabs is okay. Sure, even greater number of them would support the genocide of Russians. Europe is not much different. It makes good relations between East and West impossible, doesn’t matter who currently is governing The West. The peace and stability in the world are possible only on the basis of the balance of the military powers. It is good that Russian and Chinese leaderships understood the western mentality quite a long time ago. Otherwise, at the moment, we could have a bloody mess all over the planet.
The US was the last to abandon apartheid South Africa, and the last to join in sanctions isolating Rhodesia. This is just more of the same.
Israel has left itself with no way out, since the rest of the world outside the US won’t accept genocide nor ethnic cleansing, which is the only remaining Israeli option.
The Israeli government could have been much wiser,but they were faced with powerful external rejectionist forces. Forcefully pursuing Hamas was and is very necessary,but wars in the area will go on for a very long time.The north is festering,and may blow.Tragedy for all.
Save your words. It is an absolute necessity to demilitarize Israel. As long as there is a military power, the US/NATO and Israel, there will never be peace in the ME. Many Israelis are just religious Zionists. They are brutal monsters, not human.
Jake, who protected the Palestinian people from the Israeli Zionist occupier? Why do the IDF people kill the WB Palestinians, there is no Hamas and the Abbas PA can’t stop the settlers from robbing the Palestinians of their homes. Hamas, the Palestinian children, are protecting their families as best they can, they have a right of self-defense in case you don’t know it.
Demilitarizing Israel means genocide perpetrated upon her citizens. Never again!
They can’t do worse than the Israelis do to them. Palestinians are demilitarized, Hamas is a resistance militia. Neutralize both Palestine and Israel.
Aint gonna happen-demilitarize China before it eats Taiwan;demilitarize north Korea before it starts WW III.Close all liberal colleges and send the woke to Gitmo.
“It is an absolute necessity to demilitarize Israel” Sure, what can go wrong with that plan?
Nothing excuses mass murder, not even saying that the other side killed well under 5% as many people first.
So-what would have been your response? appeal to Interpol?
So- mass murder is the answer if? Yes, or no?
ACTION ALERT !!!!
Day X is Here. It’s time to mobilise! Gather outside the Royal Courts of Justice, London on 20th-21st February at 8:30am and demand Julian’s freedom! For more info http://www.StellaAssange.com. #NowOrNever #FreeAssangeNow #FreeThePress #TellTheTruth.
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/85e7dd79794c8e6748cf594f0f229b34971de2223cf7b973ed5781b6a7afafe0.jpg
I applaud you, my friend! It hurts me to say this between you and I, my neighbors and most of us just don’t care. Dude! Most of us don’t care even when we see Israel is unquestionably genociding 2 million Palestinians and 50% of us agree with Israel. If Assange dies, it would be more likely that God felt mercy on his soul.
The British courts will rule on how British law applies, not on how much support this twice convicted criminal gets.
The British courts will likely rule as they previously have — in whichever way the political class Assange embarrassed and discredited orders them to, law be damned.
How did Assange embarrassed and discredited the British? By jumping bail when Sweden wanted him arrested?
Sweden did not want him arrested, it served the USA, it was a political made up case. For years Sweden has been neutral in name only.
Yes Sweden did want him arrested. “The Stockholm Criminal Court on Thursday issued an international arrest warrant for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange on probable cause, saying he is suspected of rape, sexual molestation and illegal use of force.” November 2010. That was years before USA issued their arrest warrant. Sorry your hero is not a nice guy. He chose to hide in the embassy waiting for the statue of limitations to expire on these charges.
There were no charges.
Law, you are kidding, you mean politics. Laws are no more than a pretense a cover for brutal human political scumbags.
Julian Assange dared to let us know how brutal and sadistic our government members really are. And that is his crime.
So you don’t believe in laws? Good to know.
I believe in simple human decency, human rights, my moral compass is reliable, the so-called laws are not. Politicians and lobbyists fabricate the laws.
The ICJ ordered the Israelis to stop the killings and report the actions and results.
But they kicked the law down the sewer and doubled down on the torture and killings of the Palestinians and they did it with all the support of the USA/NATO.
Why would I believe in laws? You tell me.
“my moral compass is reliable” Do you believe that Hamas should released the people they kidnapped on Oct 7 without any conditions? Do you believe that Egypt should allow the children of Gaza to come to Egypt to escape the war? Do you believe it is wrong for Hamas to fire rockets at cities in Israel?
Do you believe the Israelis should release all the Palestinians they have been holding in prisons with no charges for years?
No I do not believe in releasing terrorists. And certainly I don’t believe exchanging terrorists for kidnaped victims. If one has a “moral compass” as suggested, one would release kidnaped victims without asking for compensation.
You obviously believe that Israel owns the corner on Truth.
Release those that are not common criminals,and those that do not have blood on their hands. Peaceful protesters should be releasde.Killers are lucky to be kept alive to serve time.
Do you believe that a prisoner exchange is justified? What would Hamas not demand a fair exchange? Israel holds thousands of men woman and children in detention without charge..dont these people have the right to be released during a prisoner exchange?
Why should Egypt assist Israel in their murderous genocide and theft of Palestinian land?? Shouldn’t Israel stop its murder pleasure and seek a cease fire??
I don’t believe in exchanging kidnapped victims for terrorists. That just encourages the terrorists to kidnap more people.
Are suggesting that the best strategy by Arab countries is to let the children of Gaza live in a war zone? If want Israel to stop the war get Hamas to surrender and release the kidnapped victims.
Tim, the Israelis are holding several thousand Palestinians including children in prison, without proper legal procedures. Would the Israelis release the hostages without conditions? They are being tortured, children are there for years because they threw stones at IDF thugs. As far as the refugees go, we could resettle the Palestinians in Wyoming or Montana, don’t you think so?
Well, you know that the Israelis bomb Gaza, so why should Hamas not fire rockets on Israeli cities? What is good for the goose is good for the gander, or not?
As soon as you justified the kidnapping of Israel citizen, you proved that your “moral compass” is bias.
And as soon as you pretended the kidnapped Palestinian children were terrorists rather than hostages, you proved the same thing.
Who are you to subject the people of those states to your whims, to make plans for others?
did the ICJ order all the worlds nations to turn over Hamas leaders-No!
What are you talking about? There are non, the Israelis and Americans assassinate leaders, don’t you know?
Hamas is being very well lead,they are sacrificing the people of Gaza.
Did the ICJ receive a complaint from a UN member state asking them to issue such an order?
No. But. A delegation of family members of Israeli hostages being held by terrorists in Gaza filed complaints of war crimes against Hamas leaders at the International Criminal Court in The Hague on Wednesday.
Let me know when there are real laws and justice. We have political laws and no justice. No war criminal of all the criminal heads of state so called civilized democracies has ever had to stand in a court of law. Soldiers, real war criminals were never held accountable in any way the Germans were. Yes, the little soldiers at the bottom in Abu GU rabe were, but not the officers in charge.
You are naïve if you believe in the laws. Our courts are corrupt, justice is for sale, it depends on how much money you have to buy it.
Just because the courts don’t always rule the way you want them to do does not mean they are corrupt.
Perhaps she believes laws are not follower when doing so would punish our friends & profit our adversaries. Just look at the Israeli GENOCIDE in Gaza if you need an example to understand his thinking on the application of law as war rages. It’s all about winning and not following the rules of warfare. Look at the Dave DeCamp headline “Biden gives green light to Netanyahu too continue the slaughter of Gazans!!!!!!!!! No more proof needed, slam dunk approval to do what they want to exterminate the People of Gaza wholsale, everyone. women, children the elderly, anyone under the Israeli bombers. It is the biggest crime of this millennium but is treated by our leaders like normal business. This proves her point.
Only there is no genocide.Life in Gaza will go on.
I just realized his name/handle is short for ….in Hell forever. I better start working on my amends with God because I don’t want to see him there. It’s enough to see him here.
They pushed the majority of the population of Gaza into Rafah. The Palestinians are living in tents, starving and now they’re going to bomb them.
Sick. How can anyone support this?
ICJ meets on 26.Feb to determine if the Likud Gov’t of Israel has complied with its order of 26.Jan to ‘stop killing Palestians’. This is part of the international genocide lawsuit at the ICJ.
The Yamashita Standard of command responsibility will eventually come into play for Biden, Blinken, et.al.
https://www.esquiremag.ph/long-reads/features/tomoyuki-yamashita-standard-a00304-20200218-lfrm
Justice will prevail even if the last Palestinian has been brutally blown to bits by smiling Americans.
Yes, justice will prevail, but only in the next life.
Arab terrorism against Israelis has rarely,if ever, been prosecuted by “the world”
Are you human?
No, he’s pig sh*t.
Seems the Likud doesn’t want to file a lawsuit. Wonder why ?
Maybe because it’s all just lies
WTF….!!!!!!! 0 Comments….. Makes me wonder about our democracy. Can a democratically elected government let some foreign government compel them, and us by criminal complicity to Genocide. No one seems to have run on the ticket of the genocide party. HOW DID THIS HAPPEN…?????? Perhaps it’s a good thing when bad people smuggly rub the evil they practice in our faces that OUR TAX DOLLARS FINANCED. Like the twisted witch Nuland bragging how she spent $5 billion building democracy in Ukraine after she and her team deposed their elected government and then did everything they could to foment a war with Russia. Now Ukraine is getting destroyed and they have lost a whole generation of young men. And Biden is sending Nertanyahun two and five thousand pound bombs to drop on the innocent failies of Gaza, implicating US, You & I in the Israeli genocide in Gaza.. Who will I vote for in November???? The rapists guy or the GENOCIDE guy…??? Actually an easy choice for me…!!!!!
Voting for the rapist guy will not make things better. You have to remember, the rapist guy moved the American Embassy to Jerusalem, and also backs Israel 100%. It would be the Biden Administration handing off the baton. Then again, the displacement of the Palestinians to the desert area the size of the airport in Los Angeles may be over, with the “survivors” dying of disease thereafter, with scant mention of their 75 year ordeal mentioned by the MSM. Forgotten, gone. “
Yes, the rapist moved the US Embassy, but he did not aid and abet a genocide. He also armed Ukraine, but he didn’t incite a bloody war with Russia.
Compared to Biden, the rapist is a choir boy… at least on the international scene. Admittedly, his domestic policies are a whole different can of worms. But to me as an anti-war activist, the first and most important priority is to rein in American aggression abroad. I’m not saying I would ever vote for him, but I do think he’d make a better president as far as foreign wars are concerned.
Biden is the guy in charge and the enabler. If Trump winds up replacing him and doing the same that’s a battle for another day. No one said it isn’t going to be a rocky road ahead. But giving in is not the option.
But it’s not like we don’t have any indication about Trump’s loyalty to Israel. He was more of an ass kisser of Israel than any president in my memory.
To think, I actually miss Obama’s calm and guiding hand in this situation. Not to mention Assange.
Obama was just as bad as these two.He just covered it up better.
Smooth operator.
As a matter of degree, perhaps. Bibi always complained the US wasn’t paying enough attention to Israel (read: him and his electoral prospects) during the Obama Administration, so in hindsight I think that was a good thing. Look what happens when Bibi gets attention from the US. Obama also chose not to go after Assange because they couldn’t make the case against a journalist. Hence Pompeo’s tortured definition of Wikileaks as a hostile intelligence agency.
I agree, but my focus is on punishing the one who has signed me up against my will to participate in this grotesque exercise in the mass murder of innocents. Not to mention signing me up for his obscene proxy war, the occupation of Syria and Iraq….
In theory you’ll be doing that. In reality, you’ll be getting more of the same.
I’m fully aware of reality – even at my advanced age.
Sorry man. I hope I didn’t insult you.
You’re a smart person RBE
It makes no difference who is in office.They both would serve as stooges for the Military and the Oil Corporations that screw the people.We need more then two equally corrupt political parties.The American citizens voice is silent and when spoken ignored.
Nevertheless, I would like to see Biden lose. At least that way, one of them pays the price of supporting ethnic cleansing of innocent civilians, not to mention entire families, entire lives, an entire culture.
Biden’s Eraser.
I don’t disagree altogether, but here’s my question: How many of us would be voting for Trump because we think Trump can genocide the Palestinians more effectively? …Just kidding. Don’t answer. I don’t want to fu@king know.
” How many of us would be voting for Trump because we think Trump can genocide the Palestinians more effectively?”
Based on his first four years in office, who would think that Trump could do anything effectively?
LOL, I would love to agree with you but he moved the US Embassy to Jerusalem.
If Trump runs and wins things will get very bad in my America very fast.Probably damage that cannot be undone
The guy that committed actual rape is Biden. And it was Congress that called for the moving of the Embassy for decades, Trump merely complied. I wouldn’t bet the farm on Mr. T’s support for unequivocal support the Zios. He left office with bitter feelings towards Bibi and his idiot son in law and he’s been uncharacteristically quite on the current situation.
Alas I concur the fate of the Palestinians is sealed. They’ll all be dead by starvation and disease long before the election.
It’s at least possible that Biden raped Tara Reade.
But that allegation hasn’t been considered by a jury, while the one against his opponent has.
The only thing Trump unequivocally supports is whatever Trump thinks is good for Trump at any given moment.
Considered in a civil proceeding… And by that I mean a lynching.
Correct. A civil jury only has to consider the preponderance of evidence rather than finding beyond reasonable doubt.
I don’t know that he’s a rapist. It’s enough for me that, like his opponent, he’s a senile narcissistic sociopath.
He scares the hell out of the nobility and that’s good enough for me.
It’s not like Trump had any problem with Bibi other than him not being loyal.
“The first person who congratulated [Joe Biden] was Bibi [Benjamin] Netanyahu, the man that I did more for than any other person I dealt with… Bibi could have stayed quiet. He has made a terrible mistake.
“He was very early,” Mr Trump said. “Like earlier than most. I haven’t spoken to him since. [Expletive] him.
And then Trump left the door open for Bibi to put his nose back up Trump’s ass.
In other comments, Mr Trump says: “Nobody did more for Bibi. And I liked Bibi,” adding: “I still like Bibi. But I also like loyalty.”
Such a choice makes voting senseless.
You can’t excuse active present genocide by smearing the other guy with long-past sex abuse allegations.
Will the election be a competition between sex abuse allegations and senility?
All is possible now- a- days.
Trump doesn’t seem to be any less cognitively challenged than Biden.
And don’t forget he also approved the annexation of East Jerusalem and the Golan Heights.
Interestingly, Biden tried to force moving the embassy back when the first Bush was in office. He pushed for unconditional loans as well.
https://theintercept.com/2021/04/27/biden-israel-aipac/
Biden is the shit sandwich which kept giving.
So neither.
Absolutely!
A whore for war.
Tthe rapist guys are from Hamas. Jerusalem is the historic capitol of the Jewish people,just as the Vatican is to the world’s Catholics.
Really?
https://consortiumnews.com/2024/02/14/patrick-lawrence-crisis-at-the-nyt/
Really!
Nah, I’m not voting for either. Voting for either one is enabling warfare. From Nuland (under Obama, to Trump sending weapons, to now Biden… It was all in the plan). Same with Israel. In fact, the republicans don’t care about Palestinians at all.
Trump can say he is antiwar all he wants, but it’s an obvious lie. I’m so sick of Americans choosing the “lesser evil” (ha) and getting more of the same.
Imagine if None of Them wins. Imagine the electoral college tied up in knots. Imagine the two billion who listened to President Putin’s interview sent good wishes to US citizens as we recognize our strength and begin to form a more perfect union. Imagine no more wars started by us.
“Imagine if None of Them wins. Imagine the electoral college tied up in knots” Then the house decided who will be President. And if the house is deadlock, than the Senate will will pick a VP to be acting President. And rules insure that there will be a winner in Senate vote.
Yes, because the Don has a plan.
Trump said, “This attack would NEVER have happened if I was President, not even a chance.”
On the campaign trail, Trump has signaled a lack of engagement in the conflict, suggesting that he would “let this play out.” His one concrete suggestion? In an interview with Univision in November, he said that Israel needed to “do a better job of public relations, frankly, because the other side is beating them at the public relations front.”
And who said that we never agree on anything. Your analysis of Trump is spot on.
Mr. Sensitive. Lovely.
The Statute of Limitations on MEMORY is forever! The world will NEVER forget, to use Israel’s own phrase! Nutty Yahoo has already prepared the grave for Israel socially and economically! Who wants to do business with mass murderers. Ditto for the USA! How did this happen, that Israel could push the “mighty” USA around and get away with OBVIOUS genocide? Just take a good long hard look at the number of DUAL CITIZENSHIP American-Israelis in the USG and it’s no surprise at all! America HAS been taken over by a foreign nation in a slow well-measured and planned coup!
“The world will never forget”. Sure they will.
What percentage of Adult US Homo Sapiens know about the Herero genocide,or the Armenian Genocide?
Less than 1 percent.
I noticed that you didn’t argue about Israel’s ongoing genocide on the Palestinians in Gaza and that you just compared it to other genocides. Good on you.
You can see what you want in a an egg drop. My point was that the US public does not know history.Do you have a problem with that idea? As far as Oct 7 and its aftermath, a bestial,tribal, attack,knowing no limits in its savagery,has produced a brutal response.Its sending a message that yes,you forked us badly,but we are forking you much worse,remember it. This is not European warfare,where King Rufus and his cousin the Duke of Fork send each other messages that today its too rainy to fight,our fine raiments will be spoiled,we will fight two days from now at 1 PM-this is primal Hate.
But it was telling that you wouldn’t DENY the genocide but just that it would be forgotten. But try to backtrack all you want pig sh*t.
Good point. After Israel is wiped off the map, it too will be soon forgotten.
And when will that occur? For 75 years that Arabs have planned to wipe out Israel. It has not happen yet.
If her enemies could have,they would have. 90 nukes and a bunch of nuclear missile subs say otherwise.
Jake, When you read all the Anti Israel comments, it becomes apparent why Israel needs nukes. I am not Jewish or a Zionist, but I see the strategic need for Israel to have nuclear weapons.
Yes,China and Ukraine bought Biden off.
the Oct 7 Hamas attack on Israel was a pogrom of historic proportions,, and its perpetrators are being hunted down.
noun verb Oct 7th. Antiwar’s Rudy Guiliani has spoken.
Maybe Oct. 7, 2023 becomes the Palestinian Bastille Day.
The beginning of a New Palestine.
Yes,Gaza has been reduced to rubble.Are you happy with that?
No, she isn’t. But someone is, right pig sh*t?
Vote for the person you’d want to be president … I’m voting for Dr. Cornel West, personally.
A great write in choice.
I’m voting for retired Col. Doug Macgregor.
Do we have a democratically elected government? Frankly, I doubt it. People’s opinion is being manipulated from the day they are born.
The toddler amputees of Israel’s war on Gaza – Hoor Nusseir
https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2024/2/14/the-toddler-amputees-of-israels-war-on-gaza-hoor-nusseir
Heartbreaking, I despise the scum we have called government. They should hang from the tallest trees, but first they should be treated like they treat others, most of all young children. I have no words for so much brutality.
Biden, Jake and Julio did not see the photo of the toddler.
War is hell. No question about that. So why did Hamas start this one? And why does not Hamas give up? The answers to both question is it good PR for Gaza. Never mind the cost.
Hamas did not start it, the occupier the monster Zionist Israelis did. They are fighting civilians, women and children, what have the Palestinians done to the Israeli monsters? What more can the Israelis do to the babies, children and their parents? How can a human being justify that terror? Your support of such evil makes you complicit.
Even the Nazis were not that horrible.
Were you sleeping all day on Oct 7? Hamas started this battle. Hamas build their forts under civilians structures with the support of civilians of Gaza. That makes the civilians of Gaza complicit in the attack of Oct 7.
You have been sleeping all your life, the Israelis have been occupying Gaza illegally for decades long before there was a Hamas. Look at the brutality on the WB, there is no Hamas, they have the corrupt Abbas and the PA and they can’t even stop the settlers from robbing and killing the Palestinians. Time for you to wake up and inform yourself.
Like July 14 for the French, Oct,7, 2023 will likely become the Palestinian’s BASTILLE DAY.
Yes, Israel did capture Gaza from Egypt in 1967. Question why did Egypt not want it back? Anyway, Israel withdrew all settlements and troops on August 15. 2005. Gaza had a chance to be a role model on how Palestinians could have their own nation. But they chose a crazy idea to attack Israel on Oct 7. It time for you to wake and realize what they tossed a way just to kill some Israelis.
There were no Israelis in Gaza on Oct 7-they had pulled out years ago
They surround Gaza militarily and control all borders, and also invaded with illegal military incursions on a regular basis. I fail to understand your glee in being so myopic here…
What happened prior to October 7th?
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/9/17/israeli-forces-attack-palestinian-worshippers-at-al-aqsa-mosque
What happened prior to October 7th?
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/9/17/israeli-forces-attack-palestinian-worshippers-at-al-aqsa-mosque
A lot things happen before Oct 7. However, there is no question that the current battle started on Oct 7. There also is no question that over 20,000 people on both sides would be alive in Hamas did not attack. Thus the deaths of all those people on the bloody hands of Hamas.
https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20240102-israel-killed-more-palestinians-in-2023-than-in-any-year-since-1948/
Israel was looking for a reason to vacate Gaza, and October 7th was their perfect opening. Furthermore the IDF/IAF killed hundreds of “Israeli’s” on October 7th via their Hannibal Directive. I do not condone any of the acts of violence/killing perpetuated by Hamas, but you need to get your facts straight. The civilians of Gaza have no blame period. Prove otherwise…
One if your first statement is true, why did Hamas give them the reason? Two, the IDF did not kill hundreds that day. There is no proof of that. Get your facts straight. Not all civilians of Gaza are innocent. Some are and some are not. Many support and aid Hamas which makes those complicit in the war.
For some reason you Israeli firsters think civilians supporting Hamas in Gaza are fair game to be attacked while thinking that Israeli civilians supporting their government in Israel are terrorist victims if THEY get attacked.
My facts are straight Tim, you choose to only repeat Israeli IDF propaganda in all of your posts. The IDF did kill hundreds of Israeli’s on October 7th, which crushes your narrative regarding this being the fault of only Hamas. Go look up Israel’s Hannibal Directive…plenty of witnesses reported the IDF actions in Haaretz.
They voted Hamas into power.What control does the US citizen have over the government?
So, Israeli civilians that voted their government into power are fair game? So that October 7th attack by Hamas was “righteous”?
The population in Gaza is not liable for the actions of the Hamas military wing. Are all of the citizens of Israel guilty of genocide because they elected leaders who both verbally and via the military ARE carrying out an actual genocide??
How is this ‘News”?..
The site should have a Déjà vu section.
It’s time for Egypt to act…!
Egypt is not going to allow the people from Gaza to enter Egypt. Egypt like the rest of the world do not want all the problems they bring.
Problems that they bring? What are you talking about?? The Palestinians would not be in their current quandary if the Zionists were not bent on their destruction. Since 1948 the Zionists in Israel have had one goal..the removal of the indigenous Palestinian population.
Only there are over a million Arab Palestinian citizens of Israel.
Who do not have equal rights, or any of the same privileges as the Zionist Jews do. It is apartheid..period.
“Problems that they bring?” Terrorists in large numbers. Generations of people who don’t work and just expect the international community to feed them and build their houses for them.
“indigenous” Jewish people have lived in land now called Israel for 3000 years. That is a solid indigenous claimed to the land.
Yes, living in an outdoor prison controlled by sadistic assholes that control everything that goes in or comes out. You might have to put up with an occasional “mowing of the grass” or be happy with the amount of food you are allowed to consume but I’m sure that would be a minor inconvenience for you.
They wouldn’t allow Israeli refugees in either. Stop trying to make it sound like it’s the people themselves as being the reason. There aren’t any countries that want a large flux of unexpected refugees.
Your reports are concise and really important to hear, I share them on my facebook page, but I find people engage with posts I share more if the link has a photograph on it. But your posts never include a photo just the Antiwar logo, which is good, of course but it just looks repetitive in terms of catching peoples attention, but maybe it is good to get your logo out there too. Anyway, great reports, including this one, which I got sent to me this time through my subscription to ‘Scheerpost’ though I also subscribe directly to Antiwar.com. This time I shared the scheerpost version of your report, because it has a photo that relates to the subject of Rafah which I hope will get people to see and feel more for the fate of the place your report is alerting them to. Thanks for all your reports Dave, best regards.
Israel is so nice. Israel on genociding the Palestinians is like: “Green light, Red light, WE DON’T CARE!”
A rather ugly assessment by Big Serge on Substack regarding Israel:
https://bigserge.substack.com/p/the-age-of-zugzwang
His conclusions, after an analysis of Israel as both an Eschatological Garrison state and a Settler-Colonial enterprise:
“Ultimately, foreign observers must understand that the Israeli-Arab conflict is practically predestined by the peculiar nature of the Israeli state. As both an Eschatological Garrison state and a Settler-Colonial enterprise, Israel is unable to relate normally with the Palestinians (who do not have a state at all), and the only way out of the jam is either an Israeli strategic defeat or the shattering of Gaza. This is not a puzzle with a clean solution.”
What sh*tty government the Biden administration is and what sh*tty legislative branch of government Congress is.
Elitist scum.
Biden is owned by the lobby
What lobby is that?
Here—order the book and read all about it.
https://www.amazon.com/Israel-Lobby-U-S-Foreign-Policy/dp/0374531501
Oh,you meaan the anti-Israel oil lobby.
LOL!
The MIC and Zionist lobby. It’s a symbiosis of gov., Israel and the war industry to exchange what all the parties need for their agendas.
Time for countries to put out arrest warrants for Kirby, Blinken, Biden, every Government official LYING to the World abut not supporting the ongoing Genocide of Palestinians. I don’t think any Nation has to wait for the ICC to declare anything, which will take 20 years for some BS reasons. The Arab/Muslim Nations are being played, so War Crimes can continue in Gaza, so they can TALK/BS some more. WAKE UP, smell the anger coming from your own people, if this Genocide isn’t stopped and it will not be the USA, UK, EU, etc. stopping it. All Arab/Muslim Nations need to stop doing business, trade with Israel, stop lines of communications, boycott everything associated with Israel, until they STOP the Genocide.
Sure, that is way the world works. Gaza starts a war with Israel and Israel fights back and it is Israel faults for the deaths. Does not seem to matter that Hamas chose a battle space full of civilians. You want the killing stopped, quit supporting Hamas. Supporting Hamas by boycotting Israel will just encourage Hamas to continue the war. The longer the war last the move people on all sides will die.
Where have you been since the Zionist first arrived in Palestine and started their killing for land? Would you call that a War? The Zionist, Terrorist Israelis have been waring against Palestinians for decades before Oct 7, 2023. I suggest you educate yourself on how it is the Zionist came from Europe to wage WAR against the Palestinians.
And I suggest that you educate your self and read multiple books on the history of rise of Israel. You will find that the situation is lot more complicated than your Zionist bad, Palestinians good model.
In any case, the current battle/war was started on Oct 7 by the “good” people of Gaza. And your idea of supporting the terrorists will only prolong the war and result in more deaths. But that is OK with you, because each civilian death in Gaza is a PR victory for Hamas.
Your knowledge of history is very selective.
Palestinians are Semites and lived in Palestine for centuries, including colonial times. The Zionist-Israeli occupation of their land is the longest and most brutal occupation in history. Israelis don’t show a shred of human decency to the Palestinian people.
Please name a battle space in Palestine without civilians? When the Zionist expelled the Palestinian people in 1948 was that a battle space with out civilians, the 400 or so villages the Zionist Irgun Terrorists destroyed was that empty space? What are the IDF war criminals doing in Gaza, and the WB, is that empty space, did Hamas attack hospitals, ambulances, churches, mosques, and schools and the settlers? Did Hamas kill medical care providers? Do civilized human beings do that? The IDF thugs do it.
Not just GREEN LIGHT but money & BOMBS to KILL MORE INNOCENT PEOPLE.
Almost time for the Axis of Resistance to step in. Israel is far from achieving any of its goals in Gaza: there are still Palestinians in Gaza, Hamas is still operating at probably 80% of its full strength, and the Israeli economy is tottering. So Netanyahu has no choice but to open a northern front into Lebanon. That will result in Hezbollah destroying much of Israel’s infrastructure, killing thousands of Israeli soldiers, and taking control of Gallilee permanently.

What can be done to stop the madness coming out of Tel Aviv, the EU and Wash.. Can anybody give us a plan of what can be done to stop WWIII? Everybody complains, but nobody here comes up with a plan. Maybe that’s because the state has all the power, and the people have none? I feel sorry for the Israeli’s who know the score and what is coming down, and they can’t do anything about the insanity either, although they protest in the thousands every day, same in the rest of the world. Maybe that ‘last days’ are coming faster than anybody thought. And, where does all the trouble in the world come from?? Answer: the state as separate from the will of the people,

So Biden is renewing his commitment to genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. He belongs in prison for complicity in genocide. The ICC should issue an arrest warrant — immediately.
Demented Joe may very well be “Their” perfect fall guy.
The killers in Washington and their army of CIA agents have destroyed all international institutions, they include the UN and the courts, including the ICC and the ICJ. Nothing will happen to them, it never happened before either, at most they put some low ranking enlisted soldiers in prison as happened in Vietnam and Iraq.
The Netanyahu-Biden tandem is doing horrific and scandalous damage to US moral and political reputation around the world.
How long will Americans tolerate someone in the White House who seems to place the interests of a foreign government above those of the United States? How long will they accept politicians who are openly in favor of a genocide against a defenseless civilian population?
Never before an American president and some corrupt politicians have stooped so low.
The same is true of the EU and NATO member nations. Who owns them? All of them are morally bankrupt democracies.
It’s the Anglo/US/Zionist faction and it’s imperial agenda that’s driving the world towards WWIII.
A faction that does not exist.
Meanwhile, the Islamic world has offered little support for the Palestinians,save for warfare.
The Islamic world could help a lot by giving the children of Gaza a safe place to live while the war plays out. But they don’t.
Neither does the U.S.
How exactly would that work? Just drop off the kids and pick them up after the war?
Good question. One would have to look at WW2 for the answer. Both British and Germans got their kids out of the cities to protect them for bombing that they knew were coming. Hamas knew that Israel would hit back hard for their Oct 7 attack, they should have had a plan to protect their children.
And since Hamas made no such plan then the children in Gaza deserve their fate, right? No onus on Israel to protect children? Maybe refrain from dropping 2000 lb. “dumb” bombs on heavily civilian populated areas? No, of course not. Oct 7th exonerated Israel of all the excruciating brutality that followed according to your sick logic.
Are you so naive to believe that these war criminals would allow the children to escape their SLAUGHTER. From even before tho hostilities, there was Israeli talk of “Erasing the Children”. What sort of evil could lurk in a mind to think of such a thing. But to express it out loud shows the worst possible motives that anyone could imagine. How many decent people world wide will see these genocidal Zionists as just as bad as the Germans Nazis who slaughtered the Jews.
Palestine attacked Israel,and are paying a horrible price.
it is a shame that the Palestinians do not have parity with Israel from a military standpoint..if they did a two state solution may have been able to happen.
The two state solution could have already happen it the Palestinians had realistic goals and would have quit being terrorists.
Who says the Palestinians are terrorists? the Israeli government committing genocide? No one else calls them terrorists except uninformed people who do not know any better, and support land theft genocide and apartheid…maybe you?
They had overestimated the morality of Christianity and Judaism, they could not imagine how debased and immoral they could be. Hitler was bad, but Netanyahu and Biden and neocons and Zionists are worse.
Jake, please excuse my question, what are you Christian or Zionist Jew?
Why would you assume any, or any particular, religious belief on his part?
From 1947 onwards,no Arab country offered Palestinians citizenship.Israel took on and absorbed Jewsih refugees. I am a rational fair human being,which is enough.
Why should the Palestinians leave what is their land? Why would any Arab country assist Israel in its quest in the absolute removal/destruction of the indigenous Palestinian people. Love the rational satire coming from “people” like you! Too funny.
The Palestinians are the indirect,but very real victims of European and Islamic antisemitism.
It’s the U.S. that pushed the disastrous UN 1948 partition of Palestine on the Palestinians. Therefore it is the U.S. that should offer U.S. citizenship to the Palestinians with reparations to boot.
The US wasn’t even represented on the committee that proposed UNR 181 (UNSCOP), and had precisely one vote in the General Assembly on the matter. If you want to blame regimes other than the majority of the General Assembly for UNR 181, the countries you’re looking at are Australia, Canada, Czechoslovakia, Guatemala, India, Iran, the Netherlands, Peru, Sweden, Uruguay, and Yugoslavia.
You need to read the book “What Price Israel?” by Alfred Lilienthal to get an accurate account of how the U.S. pushed through that vote. We may have had only one vote on the General Assembly, but the U.S. had ways of controlling the votes from the other countries.
What makes you think I haven’t read Lilienthal?
And is there any evil in the world, ever, for which you don’t believe the US is solely and exclusively to blame?
LOL! I am a realist, and you are an anarchist.
Yes, you’re a realist.
In an alternate reality.
LOL! I am so rooted in reality that I am able to discern what a nut you are.
They lived in Palestine, their country, why did they need citizenship in other countries? You know that the American borders are not open for refugees. They come knocking on European doors, but the USA causes the refugees. You do not want to know that.
Don’t waste your time trying to convince the trolls here of anything, Let BDS start on these boards.
The US caused “what refugees”?
Indeed:
and:
So they will knowingly provide the tools needed to enable the killing of huge numbers of civilians … truly how low can you go, shining city on the hill?
Possibly until Hell freezes over
Yes,the myth of the great octopus.
This headline is highly misleading. For one thing, U.S. doesn’t run Israel, it’s the other way around. Second, U.S. is in no position to dictate morality to anyone with so much blood on its own hands.
Partially right, it’s the Zionists that run the US, as they do Israel and of course the US can’t dictate morally, but it can pay for it – or rather finance it 🙂
How is the US govt ever expected talk about “human rights” and “international law” ever again without the rest of the world laughing at them?
If the world would only laugh, it is much more hate, anti-Americanism and anti-Semitism. The cowards will cry how terrible they are treated. Who would have known it could get worse, there are no limits for people like ev il Biden and neocons.
Rafah breaks all the limits of decency. Dam ne Biden, the de vil incarnate.
I am not sure that anything can be done to save Israel at this point. It has done so much damage to its economy, its standing in the world, and now driving itself into the abyss. I fee bad for the Israeli’s who are protesting the destruction of their country by the Israeli government and military. They should leave and find a home that is more worthy.
Most Israelis are like people everywhere,they just want to live. People who want to leave should do so,but very few want to accept a new diaspora., a new exile. With conditions rapidly deteriorating the the US,France,and the UK-people will stick it out, as free people.
Actually the UK, US and France are imposing radical and downright fascist policies against their citizenry. All there have been trying to impose draconian controls over the internet and free speech.
Israel is now trying to stop all news outlets in Gaza from reporting. Thankfully all of these populations are getting wise to the political parasites in charge and are striking back…
They won’t be going to a new exile. They’ll just be returning where they came from. They are not from the land of Palestine.
Only genetic science and history says otherwise.
Even excluding the 20% of Israeli citizens who are Arabs and likely from Palestine, 70% of Israeli Jews are native Palestinians.
The Israeli- Zionists should go back to hell where they came from.
They are like the Palestinians, maybe they should be treated like the Palestinian people, including their women and children? Wouldn’t that be fair?
You make is sound like Israel is losing this war. In that case, ICJ should dismissed the South African case since Israel will not exist shortly.
The Washington/Israeli/NATO Crime Syndicate makes Hitler look like an Eagle Scout.
