"Historic, But So, So Late: Israel Added to UN's Child-Killing List of Shame"

"It took a genocide that killed 15,000 children & maimed & scarred thousands more, but the UN has finally & rightly added Israel to its List of Shame.

"Between 2000 and the start of the Gaza war, Israeli forces killed more than 2,300 children throughout Palestine.

"Despite all this killing, Israel was perennially given a pass from the List of Shame."

"I'm not aware of any civilian casualties", said the IDF spokesman...

despite 14 children being among the 40 killed in the IDF strike on Nuseirat school.

6,000 displaced people were sheltering at the UNRWA school.

UNRWA said it is "unable to verify" Israeli claims about "militants".

US-made weapons parts were identified at the location.

"How Israeli prison doctors assist in the torture of Palestinian detainees"

Israeli doctors:

  • share prisoners’ medical information with interrogators to “greenlight” torture;

  • teach interrogators how to inflict pain without leaving physical marks;

  • actively engage in acts of torture themselves.

Torture is a "colonial tool to subjugate & exercise control over Palestinians & is intertwined with its very inception as a state."

Thanks for the info.

I like to let others know who the anti-Palestinian trolls are, so they are better prepared to deal with them.

The people I'm labelling as "trolls" are not just ignorant. I check out their timelines for patterns of trolling before I out them. I work only on evidence.

Like Russia, et al. Israel has paid battallions of trolls to spread disinformation.

The ceasefire plan remains “very confusing”

Biden has announced something that some Israelis say that he should not have announced...
some say he announced it without our approval...
and some say he announced it with Gantz’s approval as opposed to Netanyahu's

Netanyahu is detouring around Biden by speaking to the American public directly. That might have prompted Biden to come out public with a plan.

Analysis

by Marwan Bishara

The ambiguity behind the ceasefire plan is US strategy

Netanyahu says Israel won’t stop the war until it destroys Hamas.

He "is only interested in phase one of the ceasefire proposal because they want to release as many captives as possible & continue the war.

"It’s quite simple: Netanyahu does not want to end the war".

Washington fails to put pressure on it to end the war, even when Biden says “this war must end”.
