"UN adding Israel to ‘blacklist’ of countries harming children in conflict"

Israel "has killed more than 15,500 Palestinian children & fuelled widespread malnutrition."

A UN official said, “Ambassador Erdan’s video recording of [the UN's courtesy] phone call, & the partial release of that recording on Twitter, is shocking & unacceptable – & frankly something I’ve never seen in my 24 years serving this organisation."

"The Brutalization of Israel Is Well Underway"

"The ugly, violent demonstrators during [the] parade of Jewish supremacy through the streets of Jerusalem" evoke Yeshayahu Leibowitz's warning:

"The national pride & euphoria that followed the Six-Day War are temporary & will bring us from proud, rising nationalism to extreme, messianic, ultranationalism.

"The third stage will be brutality & the final stage will be the end of Zionism."

"Of course there is an alternative".

~Gideon Levy

"The reason Hezbollah is attacking has been made to be forgotten: the war in Gaza.

"Now there are two alternatives: The one, towards which we are heading, is to replicate the fiasco of Gaza all the way to the outskirts of Beirut.

"The second is to stop the war in Gaza.

"Peace in the Galilee will be achieved only that way."

"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."

White House fear of demos

"How do you make the power elite frightened of you?

"Nixon was frightened of movements. And there’s a scene - 1971, huge antiwar demonstration surrounding the White House...

"& Nixon has put empty buses, end-to-end as a kind of barricade...

"& he’s standing at the window wringing his hands, going, Henry, they’re going to break through the barricades and get us.

"& that’s just where you want people in power to be.”

Unfortunately, such fascist behaviour never stopped. In the west, msm was silent.

Plus, you no doubt know that the Nazis followed the US playbook on medical experimentation on marginalised groups.
