One of the most painful things about this is that it was immediately obvious to anyone paying attention where this was going. This isn't an "in retrospect" moment. So many people immediately saw that Israeli was ramping up for a "final solution," & we were called stupid &/or…
The student protesters were obviously correct on Gaza. The reaction to them was obviously idiotic and depraved. We're probably still a while out from this being banal conventional wisdom, but it's coming.
We're now, predictably, seeing so much of this, from amoral rats who cheered all of this on for 20 months -- despite knowing exactly what it would cause -- and now finally want to distance themselves from it to cleanse it from their conscience and legacy:
.@SenAmyKlobuchar: "Acute malnutrition is rising. Hundreds of Palestinians have been killed in recent weeks while seeking food, most in the vicinity of Gaza Humanitarian Foundation distribution sites and others on the routes of aid convoys. This is simply unacceptable."
Horrifying - this is ISIS level evil although I don’t actually remember ISIS bringing their children into it. Sickening.
As Palestinian children are being starved to death, Israelis have brought their kids to block aid trucks headed to Gaza. This is depraved behavior. They’re sick.
It is unbelievable how nonchalantly leaders like @kajakallas and @vonderleyen continue to ignore (and stand against) intl law and the decisions of the highest intl Courts re Israel: among others, I shall remind them, the ICJ ordered Israel to: - withdraw its troops and remove…
The killing of civilians seeking aid in Gaza is indefensible. I spoke again with @gideonsaar to recall our understanding on aid flow and made clear that IDF must stop killing people at distribution points. All options remain on the table if Israel doesn’t deliver on its pledges
Empty words cannot hide the truth: your government is complicit in genocide. We are an unstoppable movement for peace, for justice and for Palestine — and we are never, ever going away.
The suffering and starvation unfolding in Gaza is unspeakable and indefensible.
I have never felt so shaken. Children are dying of hunger. Falling one after another, like petals of a dying flower. Under our watch. How do you sleep, Presidents, Foreign Ministers, political leaders, diplomats, civil servants - doing nothing to stop Israel’s starvation…
The sheer intellectual collapse you have to experience to be faced with 122 international aid organisations telling you the same thing... ISRAEL IS STARVING GAZANS... only to decide they are ALL lying & that actually Benjamin Netanyahu, on trial for fraud, is telling the truth.
This you?

The evidence is rapidly piling up -- from first-hand sources that aren't easily dismissed as anti-semitic liars (there are just too many of them for this tired tactic to work) -- about the true face of Israel and its mass starvation and genocide program in Gaza. Just listen:
NEW: 🇮🇱 Israel confiscates baby formula from foreign doctors at Gaza checkpoints — British surgeon Nick Maynard 'No formula allowed in. Every carton seized'
Fascinating shift on Israel in the last few days from a very wide range of center-left politicians & voices that had previously defended the country’s conduct

Brad Lander showed what Elizabeth Warren should have done in 2020: unify the progressives rather than trying to stab the progressive frontrunner in the back
Brad Lander is a hero. A true, selfless, courageous, talented hero.
The US never "wins" wars. It topples regimes, commits genocide, destroys economies, creates chaos, lines pockets, loses soldiers, and feeds global instability. The goal is never winning, but rather profiting off of death and misery, and to that end, it wins every time.
a fanatical Zionist asks Chomsky if he believes Iran having a nuclear program is an existential threat. Chomsky replies: No, the existential threats to the region and humanity are Israel and the US
Everyone should be prepared for the fact that whereas with Iraq, anti-war protesters were smeared as traitorous terror lovers, this time we will also be smeared as bigoted anti-semites. The new official definitions of anti-semitism which seek to criminalize Israel criticism, this…
Iran just became the 8th Muslim-majority country that the US has bombed in the last 15 years, from Obama to Trump to Biden to Trump: 1) Afghanistan 2) Iraq 3) Syria 4) Libya 5) Somalia 6) Pakistan 7) Yemen 8) Iran #WhyDoTheyHateUs?
At least Ms Rachel is still reminding the world that Israel is deliberately starving children in Gaza, since the media is too busy manufacturing consent for another war.
Die palästinensichen Reporter Mohammed Ahmed und Abdal Sabbah begleiteten Hungernde auf der "Reise des Mehls" zu einem GHF-Punkt: "Das Blut auf den Mehlsäcken derer, die voll Hoffnung zu ihren Kindern zurückkehren wollten, gehört zu den härtesten Bildern, die wir je sahen." #Gaza
I cant believe this is really happening everyday and no one is moving a finger to stop it!
Just a reminder that the West destroyed Iran’s progressive democracy in 1953, deposing a leader beloved of the people, and installed a dictatorship in his place. The US and UK have been terrorising that country for as long as any of us have been alive. It’s sick.
