The top US official working on the humanitarian situation in Gaza told aid organizations during a meeting in August that the US wouldn’t even consider suspending military aid to Israel over its blocking of food and medicine shipments, POLITICO reported on Wednesday.
The official, Lise Grande, who was appointed to the position in April, told over a dozen aid groups that the US could find other ways to pressure Israel but stressed that the US would not block or delay weapons shipments, which is the only real leverage the US has.
One aid official who attended the meeting said Grande described Israel as being in a “tight circle of very few allies” that the US would not oppose. Grande said the US would not “hold anything back that they want.”
During the meeting, aid officials detailed how Israel was blocking aid shipments into Gaza and said by doing so, it was violating international law. Another person who attended the meeting said Grande “was saying that the rules don’t apply to Israel.”
US government agencies had previously concluded Israel was deliberately blocking aid, which violates US foreign assistance laws, but Blinken overrode those concerns to ensure US weapons continued to flow to Israel.
The report from POLITICO comes after the Biden administration sent a letter to Israel giving them 30 days to allow more aid into Gaza. The letter implies failure to agree to the US demands could impact military aid but doesn’t say so explicitly, and the State Department has refused to say if there would be any consequences.
Israeli forces are currently attempting to carry out an ethnic cleansing plan in northern Gaza, known as the “general’s plan,” which calls for the evacuation of all Palestinian civilians north of the Netzarim Corridor, a strip of land controlled by the Israeli military. Anyone who stays behind will be exterminated, either by military action or a starvation blockade.
US military aid to Israel has helped slaughter over 42,000 Palestinians, according to the numbers from Gaza’s Health Ministry. Ninety-nine American healthcare workers who have volunteered in Gaza recently estimated in an open letter to President Biden and Vice President Harris that over 118,00 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza over the past year, a toll that includes indirect deaths caused by the Israeli siege, such as starvation and disease.
“Decent man”.
The descent of man … isn't this tribalism? Israel is in the tribe, the Palestinians are not; therefore, the former can do whatever they want to the latter?
"Israel is in the tribe" – no, Israel is created by Zionist religious organizations and Zionist individuals. Zionist mythology has nothing to do with the real history. Genetically Israel is a very diverse country. The most prevalent y-haplogroup among Ashkenazi is E – 21% of all Ashkenazi. The most prevalent y-haplogroup among Sephardic is J2 – 25% of all Sephardic. The most prevalent y-haplogroup among Palestinians is J1 – 39%. So one can see that Palestinians genetically are less diverse nation than Israelis.
I mean Israel is in the "western" tribe … Palestinians are not.
Dual morality
There is a consensus in American political elites that the genocide is acceptable. It doesn't prevent them to carry on with their moralizing about human rights around the world.
Another Biden "Floating Political Balloon" for the baboons: "The report from POLITICO comes after the Biden administration sent a letter to Israel giving them 30 days to allow more aid into Gaza." "Floating Political Balloons" quoted from Mark "the Truth" Thomason without his permission.

How long human beings can go without food is an open question. Estimates indicate that starving people become weak in 30 to 50 days and die in 43 to 70 days.
———–
Keep in mind that the people of north Gaza have been on very restricted diets for a year already, and the adults have been shorting themselves of food to keep the children alive. It's unlikely they can survive a month without food.
The USA has engaged in a Stall and Kill Campaign against Palestinians for the Terrorist State of Israel. The USA never intended on providing food, medical supplies, water, essentials to the Palestinians, it was all Stall and Kill more. Do NOT vote for Harris, do NOT vote for Trump, two Zionist who are War Criminals. Biden should be impeached NOW, but of course that would take finding REAL Americans in Congress to do so. Retail sales are up, Americans still spending like there is no tomorrow, because there is NO tomorrow for the world when it is witnessing a Genocide and does nothing to stop it.
I fear that your words are coming true.I believe Israel will attack Iran and they will respond with Nukes destroying Israel. The Zionists in the US will not take this lying down and will pressure for retaliation. Russia and China will also get involved and the planet and civilization are eliminated.
The leading clerics of Iran and of Shiia Islam have published multiple fatwas against the development and use of WMD in general and nukes in particular. Apparently in Shiia Islam civilians are to be left out of conflicts if at all possible, and with WMD that's not possible.
"Biden should be impeached now" – by whom? By Congress which met Satanyahu with standing ovation?
Giving him more standing ovations that any US president in history has received.
Why would our elected representatives do anything but serve a foreign nation 5,000 miles away? Do people actually think they work for the American people or something?
How truly unique P-1950, logic always works for me!
Profound!
"Elections" are conducted to "elect" people to serve Israel Not America or Americans. Are so innocent to believe any thing otherwise?
Israelis have a will to power, but Muslims and Asians have a will too.
Notice the many Muslim endorsements of Trump.
Keep giving to Israel and be vulnerable to attacks by foes…!
Now you understand why WW3 will happen. It’s out of necessity.
Finally, a realist!

Why cheering for World Wide Three when you can Un-cheer it…?!
Very interesting!!! Please tell us more!!! Such as who will team up with whom & who will refuse to pick a side.
I see. You mean "Golden Billion".
By the way, the term Golden Billion was used quite often in the last quarter of 20th century but not any more. Now they don't use it maybe because the billion doesn't look so golden.
Yes, the dwellers of the garden. And the garden would not be so garden like w/o a desert outside of it.
Reminds me of the UK Le Guin story "the ones who walk away from Omelas" …
I remember one of top EU bureaucrats called EU a garden surrounded by desert (or maybe he told it was surrounded by jungle). Actually, EU tried hard to make a desert of surrounding EU countries. They succeeded with this project in Libya, Ukraine and some other countries but not everywhere. Definitely not in Russia.
I suppose that thirty day notice was a bluff afterall. Why would anyone expect anything else other than for the U.S. government to support Israel's final solution err "general plan." I mean the U.S. government did its final solution err "manifest destiny plan" when it took over the North American contintent. The Israel/US general manifest destiny plan is part of the greater global final solution err general plan for the world. Get ready folks as there is more to come.
In your heart you know if Kamala wins, we're promised 4 more years of The War Without End Machine. (Plus, high inflation, Open borders, a Politicized DOJ, America Last….etc. ):

Fuck Elon Musk and Trump, too, as well as Harris. There's no such thing as "voting against the machine" – voting IS the machine.
OMG how many litt1le children here in the US need a lunch or some dinner?
way to go uncle sam.! effin way to go.
"" Anyone who stays behind will be exterminated""
and that is the Israelis in a nutshell.
One has to wonder why the notion of "Israel is blocking aid" comes up now – when Israel has been doing so since before the war even started.
What is the "narrative behind the narrative"?
“…An arm or a leg?… why the hell should you live?!”
djv
The Biden-Harris administration and a majority of the cast of politicians in Washington DC won't consider suspending military aid to Israel, in any circumstances, because they have become vassals of Israel and of its lobbies.
Our politicians get paid by AIPAC to support military aid to Israel. There are few in DC who would ever want to cut off the flow of money in either direction. Is this not the height of corruption?
"Is this not the height of corruption?" – yes, it is.
Whatever you believe is the reason for the US support of Israel, it will not end regardless who wins the next election.
Entirely relevant and actually realistic appraisal of the situation.
Unfortunately, I agree with you on this, and Trump is worse than Biden and the Dems when it comes to love for Israel.
Ironically, Stein would change things!
And I have a better chance to win the Mega lottery than Stein chance to win.
Trump was at 1% before I backed him. I had nothing to do with his success; but it’s really neat that I usually support losers, and he won.
Maybe Stein will win, but I’m supporting Trump this time.
People upvoting you think you said that for other reasons than the reason you said what you said. They think you were saying that as if you thought it was a bad thing. Silly people.
Jealous that I got upvoted?
Hardly. But tell them what you really meant. That you, like our government, back Israel no matter what atrocities they commit on the Palestinians. They actually thought you were saying that in disgust otherwise they wouldn't have upvoted you, at least the majority of them.
Now, tell me I'm wrong and you really are disgusted with the US' continued support for Israel. Go ahead.
And do you think Trump will end aid to Isreal?
Congratulations, America! We have been inducted into the International Hall of Infamy for our role in the slaughter of innocents in Gaza, The West Bank, Syria, and Lebanon.
The founding fathers must be so proud of what their hard work has produced!
Beware of foreign entanglements???? Strictly for sissies!
RTFO!!!
The whole world is watching, appalled, this election. The only two people who will be allowed to win both approve of genocide, and tens of millions of people will vote for them knowing that their tax dollars will be used to do it.
How did we come to this point?
How did we come to this point?
When we exchanged truth for lies.
So either 1980, or maybe 1968?

Yes, a heart condition can potentially cause a patient's hands to shake or tremble, especially if the condition leads to irregular heart rhythms (palpitations) or significantly affects blood flow to the brain, which can manifest as tremors or shaking in the hands; this is often accompanied by feelings of anxiety or nervousness associated with the heart issue.
Key points to consider:
Nervous system connection:
The nervous system is closely linked to the heart, so fluctuations in heart rate or rhythm can trigger physical symptoms like hand tremors.
Anxiety and stress:
Heart conditions can cause anxiety, which in turn can manifest as hand tremors.
Low blood pressure:
Some heart conditions can lead to low blood pressure, which can cause dizziness and shaking hands.
Examples of heart conditions that might cause hand tremors:
Arrhythmias: Irregular heartbeats like atrial fibrillation or supraventricular tachycardia.
Valvular heart disease: Issues with the heart valves affecting blood flow.
Cardiac ischemia: Reduced blood supply to the heart muscle.
Congestive heart failure: Difficulty for the heart to pump blood effectively.

SRSrocco Report, Oct 16
@SRSroccoReport
While it's true that China has sold off a portion of its Treasuries, we don't see the same with other BRICs & Countries.
U.S. Treasury increases over the past year"
Saudi = +$33 billion
Brazil = +$5 billion
India = +$5 billion
Kuwait = +$5 billion
UAE = +$4 billion
S. Africa = +$1 billion
Furthermore, while Central Banks purchased $70 billion in gold over the past year, they also purchased $565 billion of U.S. Treasuries.
We must remember, U.S. is now a Net Exporter of 3-4 Mb/d of oil & petroleum products, while China is a net importer of about 12 Mb/d oil crude oil and petroleum products.
While the U.S. Govt is printing lots of money, it has the energy (currently) to back up the printing, while China does not.
Something to keep in mind when we think the end of the U.S. Dollar is close at hand.
