In what some consider an unprovoked attack, Israel killed 3 Palestinian resistance leaders, 4 women, 4 children & 4 others as Israeli warplanes bombed homes and other civilian objects – the beginning of an operation that is expected to last “at least a few days.”
US government & media covered up an elaborate covert operation directed by Netanyahu that aimed to use secret intelligence to clandestinely intervene at the highest levels in the presidential election on behalf of Trump
Parroting the Israel “history” fantasy that Netanyahu has been peddling, extremist Israeli lawmaker Bezalel Smotrich told an audience, “Palestinian people are an invention…This is the biblical truth.”
As Netanyahu’s ministers are calling for ethnic cleansing, he wonders why the Biden administration hasn’t invited him to visit.
The US previously sought to prevent Israel from bombing Iran since that risked the U.S getting sucked into a war with Iran, which would be disastrous for the region, for the United States, and for the Iranian people…

Giraldi: Biden gives Israel more weapons even as Gaza is bleeding… Blocks UN measures… The U.S. has surrendered key aspects of its national sovereignty to Israeli control… Pro-Israel lobby influences policies down to state & local governments, schools… covers up Israeli attack on USS Liberty…

Extremist Jewish supremacist parties find themselves suddenly relevant as Netanyahu’s Likud party seeks to form alliances and win enough legislative seats to protect him from legal action. Lieberman has even called for “disloyal” Palestinian citizens to be “beheaded.” It may be the beginning of a new level of rightwing governing.
Just days before US President-elect Joe Biden (who disapproves of settlements) is set to take office, the Israeli government approved a settlement expansion plan: the construction of 800 new units in the occupied West Bank.
Critics deem the move as an effort to take advantage of the final days of the pro-settlement Trump administration, and likely leading to a confrontation with the new Biden administration.
