Benjamin Netanyahu has said he has given orders to the Israeli army to seize control of 70% of the Gaza Strip in a move that threatens to torpedo an already fragile ceasefire and create catastrophic humanitarian conditions in the already devastated territory.

As Bibi has more health issues I had a thought.... if he died, it probably wouldn't matter that much. He'll be replaced with another far right person a lot like him who will continue this slaughter in much the same way. ....only maybe his replacement will MAYBE have fewer corruption issues.

Meanwhile, I think the GOP over here would actually have trouble replacing Trump with someone who can get away with all the crap he can.

Some say Bibi will be replaced by this monster

“WELCOME TO ISRAEL! We are the landlords!” cried Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel’s national-security minister, during a visit to Ashdod Port on Israel’s Mediterranean coast on May 20th. He was encouraging his officers to abuse activists who had been brought to the port, bound and forced to kneel after being detained at sea on a flotilla bound for Gaza. The video was not leaked to the press: Mr Ben-Gvir proudly published it himself.

It's likely, yes.

Congress quietly moves to integrate US and Israeli militaries

In the first step towards shifting aid further into the shadows, the House's 2027 NDAA would all but fuse the two countries' armed forces together

responsiblestatecraft.org

At a time when the American public is expressing unprecedented levels of distrust in the Israeli government, Congress just proposed tying the U.S. to the Israeli military more than ever before.

Buried in the House's version of the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) released on Tuesday, is section 224, entitled “United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative.” The provision would arguably do more to intertwine the U.S. military with the Israeli military than the more than $200 billion (inflation adjusted) in military assistance Israel has received from the U.S. since its founding in 1948.

For several generations, Jewish-Israeli children have been brought up in an education system where Palestinians rarely appear as Palestinians, but rather as “Arabs,” “enemies,” and a “demographic threat.” In the words of scholar Nurit Peled-Elhanan, they appear above all as “a problem to be solved” — stripped of a social, cultural, and historical life of their own.

In textbooks, the “Land of Israel” replaces the State of Israel; Palestinian life is erased from view; and modern Zionist history is tied directly to the biblical past, with millennia of Jewish life in the diaspora almost entirely removed. Holocaust memory, meanwhile, is mobilized to produce a sense of permanent existential fear.

The result, Peled-Elhanan argues, is an education system that teaches occupation, ethnic hierarchy, and state violence as natural and necessary facts of life.

What are the consequences of being on this blacklist?

What are the consequences of being on this blacklist?

Probably basically nothing.... Just a warning to others who happen to pay attention, I guess.

What are the consequences of being on this blacklist?

Most likely nothing at this point, but it is one more small step toward Israel becoming a pariah state.

Israel's ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon, accused Guterres on Thursday of spreading antisemitic lies. The Israeli UN mission said it will refuse contact with his office as long as he serves as head of the international body.

The report said the cases the UN had verified were carried out against 14 men, seven women, nine boys and one girl. The violations included rape, gang rape, forced nudity, and violence to genitals committed by officers from the Israeli military, police and prison service.

The UN said its attempts to fully investigate the issue had been obstructed by the Israeli government and threats made against detainees to prevent abuse being reported.

Bolding mine in the quote. Of course, once again, they trot out "antisemitic lies". I am shocked he didn't also say blood libel.

More weapons and spyware sales, and more high-profile talking heads warning not to hate the perps.

I suppose the US are, following AIPAC's input, turning a blind eye to this because this will promote "East Med security and peace" or some shit. Right?

I'm sure this'll enhance East Med security...

Kipling's "Lo, all our pomp of yesterday//Is one with Nineveh and Tyre!" was supposed to be metaphor, not the torment nexus.

While we enjoyed our Sunday, Israel slaughtered 41 people and wounded 140 in Lebanon. They have killed over 3,000 people and wounded over 10,000. Why the fuck are these monsters allowed to continue this? I am sorry, but the statement that "Israel has a right to exist and defend itself" is completely detached from this. Fuck everyone who continues to enable this and explain it away while Israel slaughters across the Middle East. Chosen people my fucking ass.


At least 41 people were killed and 140 wounded in Israeli strikes across Lebanon on Saturday According to Lebanon’s Health Ministry, Israeli attacks have killed at least 3,412 people and wounded 10,269 others since Israel dramatically escalated its assault on March 2. An Israeli strike on Abbassieh, near Tyre, killed at least four people on Sunday evening according to preliminary reports. The nationwide death toll for Sunday was not immediately available.
