“Israel demands the rejection of a Palestinian state - which is why we must stand for it & lead international isolation of Israel until that happens.”

Europe must fight for a two state solution that ends apartheid & genocide in Palestine.

Bari Weiss is at CBS for 2 reasons only:

1) Work at the pleasure of thin skinned, racist billionaires who demand the world worship their alleged brilliance.

2) Crush any attempt to humanize Palestinians and write honest stories about Israel's genocide and occupation.

Just by way of an aside - and with no obvious connection - Farage took up his line that the West "provoked" Putin's full invasion of Ukraine a few weeks after this tweet in June 2024, and for the first time since the 2022 Russian Military's 'special operation'

Seven years ago today, Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi was tortured, murdered and then dismembered. And any so-called comedian who can't stand up tonight in Riyadh and do ten minutes on that kind of hijinx and horseplay just isn't worth the Saudi blood money he's being paid.

I hope CBS journalists straight-up publish as many pro-Palestinian pieces as possible before Bari Weiss comes in.

Anything that exposes Israel's genocide, occupation, and apartheid.

It won't happen once she gets there. A reason why Ellison is bringing her in.

50 doctor who had visited Gaza were asked about children shot in the head. Most (35/50) had seen it themselves…

…and some reported a single bullet to the head as being the only injury on the child.

Israel to close last remaining route from southern Gaza to the north as it continues offensive on Gaza City – Middle East crisis live Hamas has said it will review the outline of the Gaza peace plan, as leaders across the Middle East voiced support for the proposal The Israeli military said it will close on Wednesday the last remaining route for residents of southern Gaza to access the north, as it presses its offensive on Gaza City. The military’s Arabic-language spokesperson Avichay Adraee said on X: Al-Rashid Street will be closed to traffic from the southern sector area at 12:00 (0900 GMT). Movement southward will be allowed for those who were unable to evacuate Gaza City. At this stage, the [Israeli military] permits free movement southward without inspection. Australia has been accused of emboldening Israeli atrocities in Gaza by allowing Israel to effectively act with impunity, with only tepid critiques from the federal government. “Israel’s extreme war of vengeance has proved a grave threat to the very survival of Palestinians, as well as endangering Israeli hostages and the future of Israel’s own security,” international law expert Ben Saul told the National Press Club on Wednesday. As Gaza’s humanitarian crisis grows, some women say they are being exploited by local men promising food, money, or other aid in exchange for sexual interactions. Six women detailed their experiences to the Associated Press, each speaking on condition of anonymity for fear of retribution from their families or the men. The Palestinian health ministry in Gaza said on Telegram that the death toll from Israel’s military campaign had risen to 66,097 deaths and 168,536 injuries since 7 October 2023. It said on Wednesday that 42 deaths and 190 injuries were recorded in the past 24 hours, though victims remain under rubble and in streets that emergency crews have been unable to reach. Yemen’s Houthi rebels have claimed responsibility for the attack that left a Dutch-flagged cargo ship ablaze and adrift in the Gulf of Aden. This attack was their most serious assault in the Gulf of Aden since November 2023. The Houthis fired a cruise missile at the Minervagracht, injuring two mariners. The international flotilla trying to deliver aid to Gaza said on Wednesday that several of its boats were approached by unidentified vessels, some navigating without lights. The Global Sumud Flotilla said in post on Telegram that the vessels have departed, and participants implemented security protocols in anticipation of a possible interception. Continue reading...

Israeli quadcopters shooting children.

And our government continues to materially supporting Israel every day.

Even as Israel rejects a two state solution, votes to fully annex the West Bank, and murders more doctors, nurses, journalists, children.

And our government continues to assist it.
