"The evidence for the justification of this raid doesn’t appear to be any more robust," I can not think of any evidence that would ever justify continual raids on hospitals that kill people who are even more vulnerable than those outside the hospital.

On Mate's sub-stack, he was interviewed by Judge Napolitano who mentioned he got a text from a former student who is an Egyptian American, and a lawyer in New Jersey. He told him that  his 35 years old cousin, and the head of pediatrics who worked at the hospital in Gaza city was slaughtered with a machine gun while treating two babies. All 3 were killed, cut down as he said for no reason by Israeli soldiers. It's been going on repeatedly and it says to me the country of Israel is sick and their people are also sick, since they have been taught their whole lives to perceive  Palestinians as less then animals and deserving of death. That's the only way I can understand their despicable behavior. He also showed a clip of Trump's son-in-law,  Gerald Kushner,  talking to a professor of Hebrew studies at Harvard about the valuable Mediterranean ocean front real estate property that could be developed once the Gazans were gone.  We're sick in plain sight.

Kushner's father is a convicted felon criminal real estate scumbag - the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

The grandmother who wants to lead Israelis back to a Gaza without Palestinians

Their capacity for rationalizing their position is UNGODLY! Interesting how they can use Oct 7th to justify their theft, and the slaughter of Palestinians.

"US military aggressions are passive entanglements that it keeps innocently stumbling and bumbling its way into by accident..." Because how can the US, home of "freedom and democracy" (TM) ever knowingly start a military aggression, or (heaven forbid!) enable an actual genocide in the Middle East's "Only democracy" (TM)? It's not like they're lying through their teeth about actually caring about the health and safety of Palestinians in Gaza... They're just trying to protect all those innocent barrels of oil and cubic feet of natural gas located right off the coast of Gaza. Innocent oil barrels matter!

Precisely. "Democracy" is now a crude and farcical term--in their propaganda speak.

Looks a hell of a lot like what the Nazis did in Poland. The differences are only academic. The methods and contempt for human life are the same.

Ancient crime families keep repeating the crimes that made them so wealthy. They teach it to their kids so these ideas get passed down, one generation to the next. That also explains why they plan things 20 or more years ahead of enacting them. Taking their time to set the chess pieces exactly where they want them.

Exactly, the destruction and mass killings reminds me of historical accounts of when the Wehrmacht rolled through Eastern Europe and Soviet Union in 1941.

Dear Caitlin, It is almost six months now. Thank you for not letting us look away, thinking we cannot bear it anymore, keeping us focused on the absolute suffering of the Palestinians subjected to a holocaust - which may even rival the 'first' - the genocidal rampage of the Zionist regime playing for all the world to see day after day. Aided and abetted by the US/West; no denying how complicit they are in the ongoing war crimes.

You and others like you keep the atrocities right and centre in spite of the false narratives of the compliant media.

All those judges of the ICJ, how long are they going to take to give a verdict? The UN seems totally incapable - after all it is only as good as its member states.

I can't say that I have ever heard/read in the historical record of Germany talking like this or acting like this and the point is that folks who have been thru a Holocaust[s] ought to have more awareness of what they are actually doing. Of course, not all the blame can be placed upon just the zionists and the Jewish folk who support this century plus Holocaust, the West, most notably the usa, uk, are as much to blame. As the latter two are long standing specialists at doing genocides.

Actually....it doesn't make any difference if Hamas WERE somewhere, somehow, in the hospital. Play their stupid, horrific game: IT'S IRRELEVANT. YOU JUST DO NOT ATTACK HOSPITALS (unless you have GENOCIDE in mind). Scarey to me, apparently some? many? most? people actually "buy" Israel's bull shit....? It is INSANE. It is ALL BULL SHIT ugly. Israel is populated with: ANIMALS. Fuck Israel. Having a cocktail...so letting this rant...go where it wants to go.....

How many of us will cheer when that obscene nation is no longer? I cannot wait for it to go the way of Apartheid South Africa, though I can’t help hoping the Israeli people and its genocidal soldiers and leaders do some real suffering as they watch their ship of state sink, never to be raised again.

Oh, and it looks like they murdered a Gazan Police Chief, who'd been coordinating the distribution of food and aid supplies to people on the verge of death by starvation - murdered him - and then posthumously raised him in rank to some kind of "senior HAMAS" commander...

If it looks like a Genocide, sounds like a genocide, has the hallmarks of a genocide, bears the scars of a genocide ... It's probably the 'World's Most Moral Army' doing everything possible to avoid civilian casualties.

IDF are fighting civilians. They don't know what it is to fight real trained soldiers.

Netanyahu is evil and those who follow him are not better. They don't seem to understand that we will never forget what they did, like the Nazi did in Warshaw Ghetto. The Holocaust is not a Trademark.

For those who were not aware.....

The false tears of Olaf Scholz and other leading German politicians about the suffering of the civilian population of Palestine and the extremely high number of victims in Gaza (and on to Rafah soon) cannot hide the fact that the German ruling class fully supports the genocide against the Palestinians. The Chancellor repeatedly expressed his solidarity with Israel and the war aims of the Nazi-like Netanyahu regime. Add to this disgraceful admission, we see the ruling classes of Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Britain, European countries and now, even the Scandinavian countries supporting the same genocide by Zionist Israel.

What could possibly be Scholz's motivation for such a stance, other than the Western media standard scripted statement………ad nauseam…...

“Israel has the right to defend itself against Hamas,” he declared in a press statement in Jerusalem. ." That is why it must be able to be fought successfully.” Really?

He also made similar remarks at a joint press conference with Netanyahu: “In these dark hours, Germany stands by the side of the Israeli people,” he assured the sadistic Israeli Prime Minister.

Positions reversed from WWII

Well, there are few better qualified to discuss genocide activities than a German Chancellor like Adolph Scholz (sorry, that should be Olaf Scholz) and I am sure that with his country’s history he is fully able to give Netanyahu some practical advice about what you need to do to remove a nationality from the earth.

Perhaps a one-on-one conference at Auschwitz-Birkenau could be arranged to add some past realism to what is happening today in Gaza.

Along with a criminal trial by a court of Netanyahu (and his protector, Biden), Israel’s actions deserve censure by every country in the world, except the US, whose cooperation with the killers of thousands allowed it all to happen in the first place.

So let us add the US and its ruling classes to the list……..more than complicit……..

…..the reason it has been allowed to happen in the first place.

You all have to read this. It is insane : Ontario MPP Sarah Jama censured and removed from NDP caucus over Israel-Gaza comments

¨Hamilton-Centre MPP Sarah Jama has been censured over her comments about the Israel-Gaza war on the same day that she was removed from the Ontario NDP caucus.

On Monday, the Doug Ford government voted in favour of a motion that not only acts as a formal disapproval of the Hamilton-Centre MPP’s statements, but also prevents the Speaker from recognizing her until a formal apology is made and the social media post is deleted.

The motion passed 63-23, with the NDP voting against the censure.

In a statement, NDP Leader Marit Stiles said the motion is “undemocratic” and said the Progressive Conservatives have “disenfranchised the voters of Hamilton Centre.”

“This extreme motion has barred a member from participating in the Legislature just six months after she were elected. It sets a dangerous precedent.”

However, the NDP’s support of Jama ended with the censure vote.

Just moments earlier, Jama was ejected from the Ontario New Democratic Party.

Stiles said in a statement there is room for different and dissenting viewpoints in her caucus, and that she and Jama had initially come to an agreement, “which included working together in good faith with no surprises.” Read More

Believe me I am appalled by the statements of Germany & also Austria, BUT you have to see that since WW2 politicians & populations heard only about their horrible support for & execution of the holocaust (for 6 million dead Jews by the Nazi State), both states paid reparations to Israel (this is - I think - the ONLY case when this happened - f.i. the Herero still wait in vain as well as others f.i. USSR forced laborers), so I would think THEY DO NOT DARE to say otherwise (needless to say I HOPE this changes!)

A very black eye for Israel and another for Washington as its handling of this crisis has been completely incompetent and inhumane. In all of Washington there is nobody saying enough is enough; the silence is deafening.

The Biden people lie just as shamelessly. This morning, BBC and NPR are reporting a US sponsored UN Security Council Resolution calling for a cease fire - but it is linked to release of the hostages, which is the ISRAELI position! The US Government is sponsoring an Israeli resolution. So cynical, such a lie, and the motivation is to create a false impression in response to massive public criticism.

Reminds me of the thing Kamala Harris did - pretending to call for a cease fire, then saying it's a 6 week pause (probably intended to get the Israeli hostages back), and then back to genocide - the duplicitiousness of these political psychopaths is unbelievable!

The UN Special Rapporteur on Gaza is about to lodge a Finding that genocide is being perpetrated in Gaza by the Zionist occupiers. It will be delivered to the UN Human Rights Council this week.

Speaking of the Rapporteur: she is a fetching, fiery lady called Albanese - who would be dismayed by the lisping drongo who (a) shares her surname; and (b) is Australia's PM at a time when the country was COMPLICIT in the genocide: not only withholding funds from UNRWA based on shoddy Zionist lies - which is atually AIDING and ABETTING the genocide - but also failing to exert diplomatic pressurs in any way whatsoever (declaring the Zionist diplomatic staff persona non grata would be a start).

For those playing at home: the reason AU and others renewed their funding to UNRWA is because they were advised [internally] that it exposed senior government ministers to sanction by the ICJ if a case was brought (and it will be: the "lawfare" is going to last a decade, by which time Palestine will be free),

I think your 50-50 chance is higher on the safe sense but it can go south/boil in quick fashion given all the usa State Terrorism going on against the folks who have the capability to retaliate.

We are in a position of greater danger than the CMC of 1962 [it actually came up just with "CMC 1962" googled]. Just think if China and Russia had nutcase "leaders" like the usa, we'd already be toast.

I am certain that Jenny was asking about the usa which is light years more evil, in volume of evil, length of evil perpetrated, ... than very deeply evil zionist israhell. From the Founding Sociopaths to all the usa Class A war criminal prezes and their underlings, the usa is the world's problem. No usa, no zionist israhell, no zionist Palestinian Holocaust.

zionists/israhell are a focused deep evil while the usa is a broadly focused, as in world wide deeply evil Gangster [and many other assorted & sundry evils] "nation" with zero redeeming features other than the country's beauty and some decent citizens.
