Itโ€™s entirely disingenuous. They know full well itโ€™s a famine of their own making and they know full well itโ€™s a genocide. I*rael is based on cynical lying. Itโ€™s baked-in. Sole aim is to get away with it for long enough to make the next episode of ethnic cleansing irreversible.

UK and 24 other countries accuse Israel of depriving Gazans of โ€˜human dignityโ€™ โ€˜The suffering of civilians in Gaza has reached new depths,โ€™ say foreign ministers

Welcome sentiments, but without spelling out consequences of non-compliance, just more meaningless verbiage. "If I*rael does not restore food supplies, cease firing and abandon its planned concentration camp, we will..." THAT would be worthwhile. As it is... www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

As I have just been reminded, any mention of this in BTL comments to the Guardian will be immediately censored.

Israel's failure to subdue Iran shows it can no longer dictate the regional order - Other News - Voices against the tide By David Hearst* โ€“ Middle East Eye Tel Aviv has swapped an indirect enemy and sponsor of proxy militias for a direct enemy that has repeatedly sent Israeli citizens running for their bunkers.

If you have time and inclination to read one analysis on the '12-day war', make it this from David Hearst: www.other-news.info/israels-fail...

Drearily familiar propaganda in headline: "Israelโ€™s strikes on Iran show Trump is unable to restrain Netanyahu." No president ever has the faintest glimmer of interest in 'restraining' I*rael. Regime is armed to the teeth to be US attack dog. Netanyahu is branch manager, Head Office = Washington.
