On one-year anniversary of Gaza’s prison break: forced population transfer (ethnic cleansing) is underway in Gaza; US wants to pay Israel to be selective in bombing Iran; journalist stalked, killed; calls to end Israel’s attack on healthcare in Lebanon, much more.
In Gaza, airstrikes continue, food rations drop, polio threat grows; in Israel, calls to punish not rapists, but the one who filmed them, to make rape of prisoners official policy, to make Nablus in West Bank “look like Rafah,” to legalize Israeli settlement in Gaza, to end US sanctions on violent settlers; Biden admin ok’s more war after prisoner swap (risking ceasefire deal), condemns not AIPAC’s purchase of congressional candidates, but Cori Bush’s warnings against AIPAC; Kamala Harris indicates no tolerance for pro-Palestinian protesters’ message; Walz’s track record on Palestine is not nearly as moral as Dems painted it…
Israel hands over bags of decomposed bodies; Amnesty: Israel committing war crimes against Palestinian prisoners; US reportedly signs off on indefinite war; Hamas is in better shape than Netanyahu claims; Israel may hit Iran again; Netanyahu makes Israeli ethnic cleansing proponent official spokesperson; Smotrich makes blatant pro-ethnic cleansing statements; update on UNRWA October 7th probe; US is in the middle of Middle East activities; more.
FAIR: As the world watched on social media and responded in outrage, US corporate media, once again, provided cover for the perpetrators of Israel’s genocide…
Netanyahu thwarts ceasefire; more people killed in Gaza; vital humanitarian aid at a standstill; pro-Israel influencers with millions of followers attend Israel-sponsored strategy conference in NY; Israel destroys 600-year-old mosque; largest Israeli West Bank land grab in three decades; Palestinian citizens of Israel are an “existential threat”; leaked document shows Israel’s plan to ethnically cleanse Gazans; more.
Biden presents ceasefire deal, Netanyahu says “non-starter”; Israel withdraws from Jabalia, leaving corpses, destruction, signs of ethnic cleansing in its wake; conditions in Rafah are “horrific and apocalyptic”; more mass graves discovered; Israel has made one third of Gaza “uninhabitable”; Blinken’s feeble commentary on Gaza’s famine; experts say Israel could have used smaller weapons, avoided mass casualties in Rafah last week; AND YET Congress invites Netanyahu to speak.
In the wake of the proliferation of pro-Palestine student encampments on American college campuses, accusations of antisemitism are back at the center of U.S. and global political discourse.
On May 17, legislation was introduced and referred to the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs. Co-sponsored by Chief Deputy Whip Guy Reschenthaler (R-PA) and U.S. Representative Max Miller (R-OH), H.R. 8445 went largely under the radar.
The media’s role is to draw attention away from what the students are protesting – complicity in genocide – and engineer a moral panic to leave the genocide undisturbed
Wrapped in keffiyeh scarves and waving Palestinian flags, men and women rallied through the abandoned villages of Al-Kassayer and Al-Husha — many holding signs with the names of dozens of other demolished villages from which their families were displaced.
