"First Jewish Biden appointee publicly resigns over Gaza war policy"

Lily Greenberg Call has accused Biden of using Jews to justify US policy.

She is at least the fifth mid- or senior-level staffer to make their resignation public:

“The president has to know there are people in his administration who think this is disastrous. Not just for Palestinians, for Israelis, for Jews, [but also] for Americans, for [Biden’s] election prospects.”

He is among ~20 US medical workers facing, as are Gazans, dehydration & other deadly health conditions.

"It’s going to haunt all of us. … I’m here. I see it with my own eyes. At some point in time, everyone is going to see it.”

Interview

A synopsis of a century of Nakba

Today's Israeli govt are descendants of those who created the 1948 Nakba.

Netanyahu’s father, Benzion, belonged to the terrorist organization that ethnically cleansed Yaffa.

And Yoav Gallant's father named him after Operation Yoav, which led to the expulsion of southern Palestine into Gaza.

The children of those that committed the Nakba are banning its commemoration so as to hide the crime so as to continue it.

"Israel's Use of Palestinian Children as Human Shields"

Three boys say the IDF used them to shield soldiers from potential harm during an IDF raid on a refugee camp.

"They forced Karam to walk in front of them, open the doors to each room, & enter it before them. While they were walking, one soldier placed his rifle on Karam's right shoulder & fired two shots toward an apartment".

Analysis by Ilan Pappé:

What's occurring in Palestine now is even worse than happened during the Nakba in 1948.

Then, massacres were used in order to persuade people to leave. But now, massacres are part of the genocidal impulse.

We are seeing a "transition from using ethnic cleansing as the main method to a far more lethal method, that of genocide.”

Human Rights legal report concludes Israel is committing genocide

"The University Network for Human Rights has conducted a thorough legal analysis of Israel’s acts since October 7, 2023, along with other experts & college-based legal clinics, finding that it violated the Genocide Convention.

It is the deadliest conflict for journalists & aid workers & the fastest starvation rate ever recorded.

Analysis by Ilan Pappé:

Western denial today is far more sinister, outraging than during the 1948 Nakba.

It is a main reason why civil societies are led now by brave students who know exactly what goes on & do all they can to stop it.

The attitude displayed by European politicians will come back to bite them because they are not representing their electorates when it comes to Palestine.

Re "Hamas openly admits to wanting all jews (not just those in Israel) dead."

More disinformation, KK, or eye-watering ignorance?

Quote: "Hamas affirms that its conflict is with the Zionist project not with the Jews bcz of their religion. Hamas does not wage a struggle against the Jews because they are Jewish but wages a struggle against the Zionists who occupy Palestine."

Disinformation in the face of Israel's genocide is utterly shameful.

Anyone can easily find this information:

"Hamas rejects official's call to 'slaughter Jews'"
"'Fathi Hammad's speech urging Palestinians to kill Jews worldwide... does not represent movement's official position', Hamas statement reads."
