A leading Israeli news site quotes Netanyahu telling his top general, 2 days after Oct 7, to ‘take down houses, bomb with everything you have.’

An admission of war crimes from the horse’s mouth. Let’s see how the hasbarists try spin this.

Or use food as a weapon of war
Or bomb civilians, schools, churches and hospitals
Or murder tens of thousands of children
Or displace millions and occupy their homes

But Israel does all that.

Israel is a terrorist state.

A man in Gaza stands on top of a water truck, holding a large hose. The background shows palm trees and buildings under a clear blue sky. Overlaid text reads: “Israel must not be allowed to use water as a weapon of war.” The Amnesty International logo appears in the bottom right corner.

For 20 days, Israel has sealed off Gaza from any aid or goods access.

The occupation is starving Palestinians in Gaza while renewing its relentless genocidal bombing.

Made possible by the USA.

WATCH: “I tell her daddy’s working, but she calls me a liar. Next week she turns 5.” 💔

Is this who we are? Never mind, don’t answer that. 🇺🇸 😕

Here are the U.S. and others’ rankings across a range of indexes - governance, prosperity, health, education, security, social. Not pretty.

The United States of America is the only major country on earth that does not guarantee health care as a human right.

The result: We rank dead last among wealthy nations in life expectancy.

We must end that international embarrassment.

Yes. We need Medicare for All.

I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky

This is what the United States has become.

This is a disgrace.

Este mes un millón de personas en Gaza no tendrán acceso a alimentos debido a la prohibición israelí de entrar ayuda humanitaria a Gaza.

ICE detained Julio Noriega, a 54 year-old US citizen who was born in Chicago, for over 10 hours on January 31st.

He was walking around "Berwyn, Illinois, handing out his resume to local businesses."

They didn't show him a warrant.

They didn't give him paperwork.

And he's now suing.

Part of me feels satisfied that this backlash is affecting Musk's "baby", but another part feels that it's unfair to target Tesla owners who had nothing to do with Musk's actions, especially the ones who bough their cars more than a year ago...

Trump will get his way with two thirds of SCOTUS by incentivizing them better (see "Clarence Thomas"), or possibly by terrorizing them into submission.

Israël a repris des bombardements d'une rare intensité à Gaza faisant plus de 200 morts dont beaucoup d'enfants et des familles entières, notamment à Khan Younis.
Les génocidaires ont affirmé avoir eu l'accord de l'administration Trump pour commettre ces boucheries.

I don't think that's fair . Most Americans might not *realize* that they've lost their democracy or freedom or rights, but they would care if they knew.

Once you establish that people can be punished because the administration doesn't like their speech, expanding the bounds of who can be treated that way becomes inevitable.

A reminder that that US is bombing women and children in Yemen because Yemen is trying to stop the zionist terrorist GENOCIDE in Gaza and the occupied territories.

The US is the world’s biggest gangster.

Republicans claim to care about the debt, but they never want to tax the rich.

They only want to take it from the health care and programs for the poor and elderly — while CUTTING taxes on the rich.

It’s not about efficiency. And they don’t care about the debt. It’s a con.

Columbia is eager to comply because it is run and controlled by Zionists whose main priority is to silence anti-genocide voices, at the expense of American free speech and the 1st amendements.

My current mantras:
- Israeli self-defense has always been aggression
- The US party duopoly has always been about restoring oligarchy
- Capitalism is not compatible with democracy
- Zionism is terrorism
- Organized religion is evil

Columbia deserves all the shit they get, from Trump, from Zionists, and from progressives. They've buried themselves in a tiny untenable corner trying to satisfy their pro-Israel masters while mascarading as a liberal university.

The great fascist/Zionist alliance is pretty happy to welcome raging antisemitic leaders in its fold. Why else would Netayahu count Trump and Orbán as his friends?

Another household kept alive by American aid was that of Jennifer Inyaa, a 35-year-old single mom, and her 5-year-old son, Evan Anzoo, both of them H.I.V.-positive. Last month, after the aid shutdown, Inyaa became sick and died, and a week later Evan died as well, according to David Iraa Simon, a community health worker who assisted them. Decisions by billionaires in Washington quickly cost the lives of a mother and her son.
"Many more children will die in the coming weeks," said Margret Amjuma, a health worker who confirmed the deaths of Peter and Achol.

Take a moment today to read about a few of the young children whom Trump and Musk killed by shutting down USAID. The blame for these deaths falls on them.

There will be hundreds of thousands more dead kids before their lethal crusade against foreign aid ends. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
