Israel’s military campaign since has killed nearly 55,000 Palestinians, most of them civilians, according to health authorities in Gaza, and flattened much of the densely populated strip, which is home to more than 2 million people. Most of the population is displaced and malnutrition is widespread. Despite efforts by the United States, Egypt and Qatar to restore a ceasefire in Gaza, neither Israel nor Hamas has shown willingness to back down on core demands, with each side blaming the other for the failure to reach a deal.

If the United States wanted a ceasefire, there would have already been a ceasefire.

4/5 > 3/4

Looks like Israel-US are the principal source for instability in the area, to me.

Yeah, he’s not looking healthy.

Plus they killed the last people who were telling.

It’s a good read, parks bigger than Florida. Ambitious goals. I’d like to visit.

I noticed, and was deeply ashamed. That was a one-off, though. I can’t say it would be different if it were more it would be different, but it may be.

"The Israeli public has been convinced over the years that it can exist here in the region while deeply disdaining all its neighbours and rampaging in a thuggish and murderous manner against everyone - whenever and however it wants - relying solely on brute force. “That’s why there was something so substantial about the sight of the bombed-out buildings in Ramat Gan,” he said. "They are so similar to the images we’re used to seeing from Gaza. Those sooty grey skeletons of buildings, that billowing cloud of dust, that carpet of ash and rubble covering the street, those images of children’s dolls in the hands of rescue teams. “The scale is, of course, completely different, but these images are nevertheless a momentary rupture of this disturbed fantasy that we are immune to everything,” he added.

United States citizens should take note. We never seem to appreciate the consequences of our actions, at home or abroad, until they return to us. The people in the global South, the East, Middle -East–people around the world-- are humans like us, with struggles, sorrows, dreams and aspirations. We need to shake the boot off our necks, then lift it off our neighbors ’ necks.

Better take busses out of the way and bike back. This article is very chilling.

So who is to replace him that doesn’t have the same agenda?

“Flattery will get you everywhere.”

Yes, you can bet your last dollar Dems and Reps are working with the CIA to make this happen.

Those replies 🧐

You are welcome. This was something that troubled me all night, last evening. Please try to lmk updates/safety when reasonable.

Is this in whole or part because Iran was threatening to leak secrets? If in part, is that just the pretext to doing it, anyway? Are Bibi troubles at home secondary to "I just wanted to do this?”

I am so, so sorry. 🫂

😒

And yet, the anti-protester framing is relentless, even from otherwise balanced sources.

It’s not just anti-protestor framing. It’s nearly everything of importance.

More than one thing can be true at once.
