"June 8 marks 8 months of US-Israeli genocide of the Palestinian people, and marks the 54th anniversary of the occupation of Gaza.

"Biden can’t draw the line, but we can.

"We demand an immediate ceasefire, an immediate end to the siege on Gaza, the freedom of all Palestinian prisoners, & an end to the occupation of Palestine."

Report

"If the ICC was allowed to do this... why would they not come after America?”

said Speaker Mike Johnson after the court called for arrest warrants for Israel’s president.

“We cannot allow this to stand."

"Target Israel and we will target you,” US Senators warned the ICC in April, “you have been warned.”

I get real sick of some of the purity-testing lefty bullshit on here and then I run into a buzzsaw of "you support GENOCIDE OF JEWS" comments elsewhere for supporting Biden's restraint of Netanyahu's government and it's like "oh yeah. It's all fucking terrible, now I remember. All the time. All of it."

I wasn't going to link to this here, but now I am, because what the commenter replied to isn't even primarily about Gaza, it's mostly about how you reward - or punish - politicians with the granting and removal of power.

Even so, just supporting Biden's restraint as an illustration was enough to get me accused of supporting genocide of Jews.

This is what Biden has to deal with, folks.

"Jewish US Army Major Explains Why He Resigned Over Gaza"

"We saw, even from the first days of the Israeli air campaign, willingness to inflict very high civilian casualties."

Democratic mayor Tiffany Henyard is the Trump of the Chicago South Suburbs in her governing style.

The chaos she creates in her two political jobs as mayor and Thornton township supervisor is spilling over into the other 17 communities in the area.

Political corruption allegations must be called out no matter which party.

My county (Lake, Indiana) is no stranger to politicians taking advantage (and we are right next door).

putin said to many news outlets that "Russia did not attack Ukraine, but defended itself" (TASS) I guess by invading Ukraine which somehow is not an attack. It's not even a good lie.

He also said "Former US President Donald Trump is being persecuted for political reasons, and this fact destroys Washington’s imaginary leadership in the sphere of democracy" (TASS). Mr. putin, is the imaginary leadership in the room with us?

Analysis

Will Israel-Palestine Be the End of Humanity?

Istrael has "a very generous stock of nuclear weapons. Hezbollah has a very generous stock of missiles & rockets. That's a lethal combination on both sides of the border.

"And many people, including Benny Morris are very eager for an attack on Iran.

"You're sure Benny, you want to attack Iran? You know what Benny.. you go attack Iran, but..leave the rest of the world out of it. You're a maniac."

Panel

"Who's lying? Probably all of them".

~Mouin Rabbani

The White House argues that if the Palestinian group accepts the US ceasefire proposal, Israel will, too.

But as soon as it was announced, Netanyahu reiterated what he’s been saying since Oct 7 – that Hamas must be destroyed.

The panel discusses what's going on.
