This starvation tactic is clearly a "crime against humanity." How sad that the Western powers continue to support Zionist genocide (and/or planned genocide).

Forgive me if I’m wrong, but it seems that history is being forgotten as Israel inflicts genocide on Gaza.

The Zionist invasion of Palestine to create the State of Israel in 1948 is known in Arabic as the Nakba, meaning catastrophe, so called because of its military campaigns and mass displacement - 700,000 Palestinians became refugees.

If facts like these were more widely considered, international condemnation of Israel might

might have been more resolute.

Alas, it seems too late for Gaza.

I think most older people are aware of the Nakba.

But then-as now- the West looked away.

Same old-same old.

I don't really think it would have made much difference.

The massacres by-and assisted by - Israel didn't elicit condemnation from world leaders.

Zionism was as dangerous then as it is now.

And is getting more dangerous for all of us with each passing day.

Just as Hitler went unopposed by world leaders in the 1930s-

So Netanyahu and his Zionists continue to day.

Worse-they are being supported by America snd the UK.

Your comments align perfectly with my post – “… until every last drop of Gazan blood has been spilt”. It’s a black satire, painfully accepting that Netanyahu and his Zionists will continue to obliterate Gaza, unopposed by the West.

When Biden and AOC said "Israel has a right to defend itself"- I lost interest in both of them.

I don't know much about US politics in depth-but I was horrified that two people I thought were ethical politicians were no better than MAGA HATS. It was so disappointing. This Gaza Genocide has separated thw wheat from the chaff- Globally- and sadly the chaff is smothering the wheat.

Totally, Dolly. The Christian theocrats wedded to tRump? "Little Marco" (remember 2015/16), a rabid Cuba hater, fake Christian, secretary of war and killing? It's insane. "The Family" by Jeff Sharlet, 2008 ish book told the tale of the Republican melding with the Christian right. Great book. Forget the Netflix version. Thanks.

When gods chosen become killers

When gods' chosen become killers,

the scripture bleeds on the stone.

The blessing, a sharp and heavy thing,

settles in the marrow of the bone.

No trumpet calls a warning,

no pillar of fire turns black.

The command is a silent pressure,

a covenant there's no turning back.

The hand that was anointed

with the sweet and holy oil

now calculates the pressure

to make the trigger coil.

The promise of a homeland,

etched on a divine decree,

is measured not in harvest,

but in their mortality.

The zeal is not a fever,

it is a chilling, steady frost

that says the soul is secondary

to what must not be lost.

And heaven holds its breath,

as the chosen, steadfast, stand

with a sword in one hand,

and a covenant in the other,

unable to see the ghost of the brother

in the eyes of the one they felled,

on a battlefield that heaven never held.

And the altars they build later

on ground they've made their own

smell of incense and of iron,

of mercy overthrown.

For when gods' chosen become killers,

the victory is a pyre.

They secure a sacred earth

and extinguish their own fire.

Bernie is finally horrified AFTER an entire career of sending people to vote for Shillary? Biden? AOC also. They (Obama, Clintons, DNC, etc. all screwed him and he sends voters to these jackals?

I fing myself St a complete loss for words to describe Israel’s savagery, America’s bold-faced collusion and the rest of the world’s gutlessness! They should all drown in shame!

One would think that we the world could have acted immediately to prevent this horror? It's an abysmal failure here in the US. We are ignored by these jackals anyway.

Every single vampiric official and resident of the pedophile-infested sewer known as IsraHell deserves a death too horrific for words.

COME ON IRAN! Get busy with those nukes!
