It’s remarkable. And that it took multiple takes is amazing.

This formally marks the end of the international rule of law. Every country’s delegate who voted for the US plan is a coward and has just legitimized genocide as a fast track to imperial land-grabbing and overthrow.

The UN Security Council means nothing now.

They will empty the West Bank of Palestinians and make life in Gaza impossible. Reconstruction won’t be for the Palestinians. It will be for Israelis and US and Saudi investors. Egypt and 🇯🇴 will get 💵 like 🇹🇷 did for Syrians to take those that leave Gaza “voluntarily.” And more plane loads will go.

“Israel appears to be removing people from Gaza and putting them on a plane without stamping their passports, in order to leave them stranded in third countries.”

Excellent context on Carney’s announcement yesterday in Terrace: “At Thursday’s announcement, Carney sidestepped sticky questions around the U.S. investment in Ksi Lisims and opposition from other First Nations in the region.”

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."
