It should be clear by now that the US does not respect international justice or international law. Not only that, but it has blatantly worked against any semblance of global justice in this case and many, many others. The US is on its own side and that of the US-based corporations it represents. And, frankly, it's long past the time that it be held to accoutn as a nation with a long record opposing human rights and democracy.

While two man-babies in the US throw their tantrums and transfix the profit driven drama machines of the US corporate media, a group of courageous and compassionate human rights activists are confronting Israel head on in an attempt to bring aid and draw attention to the ongoing genocide.
Our attention should be focused on Gaza, not the drama of the two US man-babies (apologies to babies everywhere).

"The European Union will review its Association Agreement with Israel. "
Better late than never?
For all of the shame and rage I feel about US support of, complicity in the ongoing genocide in Gaza, the EU and it's members have done far too little to oppose the criminality of Israel and the US.

Twelve-year-old Rahaf Ayad is so malnourished she can barely speak. Her hair is falling out. Her ribs protrude. She can hardly move her limbs. She blinks slowly, her eyelids heavy...
Shurooq, Rahaf’s mother, explained that her daughter’s health began deteriorating rapidly due to the lack of food. “If anyone touches her, or she tries to move her arms or legs, she just cries out in pain...

Liberals in the US rightly criticize MAGA folk as being delusional in regards to the truth of Trump. But when I see those same liberals praising Biden while ignoring his ongoing support of genocide in Gaza I feel the deepest disgust. History will remember Biden for his role in genocide.
"Respect the process".
Uh huh.

"Letter to Representative Jared Golden (D-ME)
Your decision to vote in favor of sanctioning the International Criminal Court of Justice, (ICC) which had ordered Israel to take steps to prevent genocide in Gaza, was dismaying. This recent vote to sanction the ICC by Representatives of Congress erodes the ability of the high court to adhere to the principles of “ International Humanitarian Law, whose purpose is the reduce suffering during war”... #Gaza #Genocide #ICC

"Cecilia Vega at CBS’ 60 Minutes did a groundbreaking segment on Sunday in which she interviewed US government officials involved with the Israeli war on Gaza, who resigned in protest either explicitly or implicitly. She also screened the sort of horrific footage of the aftermath of Israeli attacks in Gaza, with the gory parts left in..."
Truth telling about US/Israel genocide on a major network? It's not nothing but it's far too little, far too late.

So, Luigi Mangione is labeled a terrorist by the same government that deliberately carries out a War on Children?
"In November, over a year into Israel’s genocide in Gaza, a report by the Gaza-based Community Training Center for Crisis Management produced a grim statistic: “Nearly all children in the embattled Palestinian enclave believe their death is imminent — and nearly half of them want to die."

For my fellow US citizens, genocide is still happening and we are partners in it. Everyday, we are paying for genocide.
Given the violent foundations of the US in genocide and white settler colonialism I suppose this is to be expected.

Supporting this genocide is US policy. It won't stop because it is intentional.
We have to understand this. This is full US and Israel partnership.
US support of Israel apartheid, settler colonialism, war crimes and genocide will not stop because it is intentional policy. The "warnings" are nothing more than a pretense and a never-ending delaying strategy.

Keep in mind the death toll is likely far higher than the 40,000 reported here which does not include all those killed but still buried under the destroyed buildings. According to the recent Lancet report the real number Gaza toll could exceed 186,000.
"142 people have been killed and 150 others have been injured by Israeli strikes in Gaza in the past 48 hours."

The Majority Report discussion of Netanyahu's visit to Congress, his various lies, his denial of the humanity of Palestinians and the fucked up warm welcome by many in Congress including many Democrats. Also, thoughts on Kamala Harris' response.
Netanyahu is a fucking lying scumbag and a war criminal. The Congress people there to cheer him on are complicit in his war crimes. A disgusting disregard of the humanity of Palestinians.

"Al Jazeera’s senior political analyst Marwan Bishara highlights that the recent ruling represents a corner-stone and game-changer in legal terms. He emphasizes that, while the ruling may not be surprising, it builds upon and extends the 2004 decision concerning the illegality of the apartheid wall in the West Bank. Bishara suggests that the significance of today’s ruling lies in its damning and detailed nature.

So, to summarize, the State Department does not care and will not be bothered.
Got it.
"For four months, Prem Thakker of The Intercept has pressed the U.S. on the killing of Hind Rajab, her family, and the paramedics sent to save her. Over and over, the U.S. has said it is waiting for Israel to investigate itself. Independent investigation from Forensic Architecture finds it “not plausible” that Israeli forces did not see who they shot 335 bullets at.

"How “permanent” is the US/Israeli plan for a “permanent ceasefire” in Gaza? The intentional vagueness of the proposal to bring a “sustainable period of calm” to the Gaza Strip is the biggest obstacle preventing a deal, argues Michael Hanna of the International Crisis Group.

"In the coverage of Israel-Palestine in the Western media, an ideology that is central to the story - Zionism - rarely gets discussed. Instead, we hear a debate about whether opposition to it - anti-Zionism - is anti-Semitic. The Listening Post’s Daniel Turi reports on Zionism, the confusion that surrounds it, and what it tells us about the world’s longest-running occupation."

Biden has no red line. He is a war criminal. The ICC should issue an arrest warrant for him. Now. There should be no special privilege for him.
"Two days after the International Court of Justice ordered Israel to immediately stop its assault on Rafah, Israeli warplanes began to drop bombs on refugee tent camps in what had previously been declared a "safe zone." At least 45 people, including children and infants, were killed in the bombing.

"As Al Jazeera’s senior political analyst Marwan Bishara highlights, Netanyahu’s deflection and Biden’s complicity in Israel’s invasion of Rafah present a stark contrast to the humanitarian principles they claim to uphold. He emphasizes that if the United States were in Gaza's position, the nation would be mourning the death of 2 million American children after eight months of relentless warfare. #Gaza #Genocide #IsraelWarCrimes
Lily Greenberg Call, former special assistant to the chief of staff at the Interior Departmentt, quit on May 15 criticizing Biden’s “disastrous, continued support for Israel’s genocide in Gaza.” Greenberg Call is at least the fifth high-profile resignation from the Biden administration since October 7.
“I am so angry at the president that he is using my community as justification for this slaughter, making us the face of the American war machine.”

This is so fucked up: Israeli settlers destroying truckloads of food on Gaza aid convoy.
How do we describe these people? I'm at a loss for words.
"Aid agencies are running out of food in southern Gaza amid Israel’s ongoing offensive in Rafah and the shutdown of the two main border crossings in the south. Some 1.1 million Palestinians are on the brink of starvation, according to the United Nations, while a “full-blown famine” is taking place...”

It’s an inhumane policy...”

Human solidarity.
Hundreds of Jewish protesters were arrested in Brooklyn in what they called a Seder in the Streets to Stop Arming Israel:
"At the core of the Passover story is that we cannot be free until all people are free... The Israeli government and the United States government are carrying out a genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, over 34,000 people killed in six months in the name of Jewish safety, in the false name of Jewish freedom."
