Israel has generously and compassionately reopened the Erez crossing to allow aid into Gaza, as it is the only way to ensure that the US will keep sending them weapons to kill the people in Gaza.
Biden sent Netanyahu one warning about a failure to protect civilians possibly costing Israel its US support and the crossing opened immediately, which proves (A) that Israel has been intentionally starving Gazans by closing entrances off from aid and (B) that Biden could have ordered this to stop at any time.
❖
The Biden administration approved another weapons package for Israel on the same day Israel killed a bunch of international aid workers in Gaza and bombed the Iranian consulate in Syria. But please, tell me more about how frustrated and angry and outraged and upset Biden’s feelings are feeling toward Israel.
❖
The huge amount of western outrage and sympathy we’re seeing over the IDF assassination of an international aid convoy compared to the systematic extermination of Palestinians we’ve seen over the last six months confirms the west only regards white people as full human beings, which is a point we’d already seen driven home by the disproportionate amount of outrage and sympathy we saw over Ukraine.
But you know what? We’ll take it. Things are that desperate that if you can only support an end to the Gaza genocide if you see six westerners get killed, I say welcome aboard anyway. Hopefully this is the beginning of the formation of an actual conscience that’s worth a damn.
❖
The mass media are reporting that the preliminary IDF debrief into the killing of several World Central Kitchen employees in Gaza has found that the multiple strikes were not carried out with the intention of killing those workers, a report which if you ask me has big “CIA Says It Has Found No Link Between Itself and Crack Trade” energy.
Haaretz has a new article out titled “At Singapore Airshow, the Gaza War Was a Selling Point for Israeli Weapon Manufacturers,” which is exactly what it sounds like. One of the ugliest things about this dystopia is that acts of mass military slaughter are always immensely profitable for a specific industry. They’re profitable in and of themselves, even before you add in things like land and resource grabs, just by helping to market and sell more weapons.
❖
Stop calling this a “war”. A war doesn’t involve conversations about whether or not a walled-in population should be allowed to have food, medicine and electricity. If you have that much control over a population, you can’t be at war with it. You’re just killing a bunch of prisoners.
❖
Biden and his cohorts aren’t mad at Netanyahu for committing a genocide, they’re mad at Netanyahu for not hiding a genocide.
❖
I’ve fucking had it with people who blindly regurgitate empire propaganda about Gaza. Fuck right off with your weaponized gullibility.
❖
The thing that’s so pathetic about the push to blame this whole mass atrocity on Netanyahu is that the people doing this aren’t even really going after Netanyahu. They’re not pushing to send him to The Hague and have him imprisoned for war crimes or bring about any meaningful consequences at all — they’re just saying we should feel negative feelings toward him for a bit like we did with Bush.
It’s always about feelings with the imperial spin campaign over Gaza. Biden’s feelings toward Netanyahu, Israeli feelings about October 7, the feelings of western Jews about pro-Palestine protests. The whole thing’s been one nonstop appeal to emotion fallacy.
❖
MAGA Republicans claim to be a bold anti-war, anti-establishment faction, which is squarely refuted by their support for the Gaza genocide.
Democrats claim to support human rights and to oppose tyranny and racism, which is squarely refuted by their support for the Gaza genocide.

I have a good idea. If we really want to stop the mass murder in Gaza then we should arrange for 6 white international aid workers to be killed every day for the next seven days. This will give rise to such a tsunami of criticism and condemnation of Israel that the Yids will be freaked and frightened into stopping their assault on the Palestinians.
“west only regards white people as full human beings,” Enough racist bullshit! Palestinians are just as white as Caitlin Johnson or Paul Kennedy. If either of them ever had seen a Palestinian personally they would know that. Arabs are not Europeans, but skin color is of importance only to Nazis and KKKlansmen/women.
Your comment seems a trifle ridiculous with all the tears flowing over the deaths of six WHITE aid workers. You know why Europeans in all their many guises have supported Israel? Because Israel only shows them people who look like Europeans (because they ARE Europeans, just following a centuries-old tradition of murdering indigenous people to steal their land).
I had this brought home to me by supposedly liberal women in Europe who immediately started screaming terrorist after 7 Oct; it was quite clear to me that skin color was of paramount importance to them. If you truly believe that skin color is only important to Nazis and KKK, I suggest you get out and about a bit more and talk with your fellow white people.
You think Palestinians are white? Best you travel over to Palestine and suck up some reality.
Crypto facism…secular-MONOTHESTIC “identity “, cult-cultures, race trance😵💫race “religion”…whorship of the SELF, or worship of “WHITENESS”🤭🤫😵💫

P.s. Caitlin might be the best journalist and one of the best TRUTH SAYERS🙏🏻🙏🏽, I am thankful and grateful for her work💯
PERHAPS TO GET ISRAEL’S ATTENTION—–NUKE TEL AVIV. THEN ISRAEL CAN SPEND ITS TIME TRYING TO REBUILD. THAT SEEMS FAIR SINCE YOU, ISRAEL, HAVE BEEN MURDERING PALESTINIANS SINCE 1948.
Gloria, the white Jews of Palestine do not discriminate who they kill. The Israeli Jews have been murdering Egyptians, Lebanese, Iraqis, Syrians, in addition to their pastime of murdering Palestinians.
US-Jews propaganda repeated verbatim. In truth, the US and the Jews are collaborating using “Aid” (food and water) as a weapon of Genocidal war.
“Stop calling this a “war”.”
It is a war, Caitlin…but not the one their embedded mediots would have us $wa££ow and follow with their misdirective hasbara sorcery.
It is the thoU$and year WA$P reich driving still for Moscow and the return of a broKKKen Beijing to subservience to the corporate cart€£$ of Nato, led by $heriff Wa$hington and Depity £ondon, with their Roman ‘divide et impera’ program of fu££ $p€KKKtrum dominance’ empire upon which merry ol’ $o£ dare not set.
I$ra€£ is just their west Asia sectarian wedge of a cadre of Rot$chi£d c£a$$ selected proxies designed to break up the Semitic solidarity of Semitic Arabs squatting on ‘our oil’.
It is also a wedge driven into diaspora humanist Judaism itself to throw it back into atavistic tribal/sectarian U$€fu££ness after they funded and armed Adolf to render Europe ‘judenrein’ while finishing £ord Pa£merston’s 1850s Crimean fiasco with operation Barbarossa, now resumed by Z€£en$KKKey and his neo-nazi proxies.
It remains a war until justice lands to make peace…unless they manage to make it their nihilistic Samson Option of Pax Radioactive Planet.
The puppeteers are well back from Tel Aviv…garrisoned as it is by the children of the traumatised and indoctrinated survivors of the genocide of their Nazi fellow Teutonic supremacists.
As the song said…’Its an old war, not even a cold war…’.
“Biden sent Netanyahu one warning about a failure to protect civilians possibly costing Israel its US support and the crossing opened immediately, which proves (A) that Israel has been intentionally starving Gazans by closing entrances off from aid and (B) that Biden could have ordered this to stop at any time.”
It’s nice to see Biden and Bibi behaving sincerely and humanely for a change, while their truly selfless motives shine through for all the world to see…as they give a clinic on abject political cynicism taken to its furthest limit…beyond the pale!
Angry of the starvation in Gaza, so lets defund UNRWA.
Angry of the aid workers killed, so lets provide Israel with F-35A fighter jets.
Don’t mess with Biden. He lets Netanyahu have. I mean really have it.
