Never forget, those war criminals are hypocrites
Meanwhile:
“Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says no one in Gaza is starving: “There is no policy of starvation in Gaza, and there is no starvation in Gaza. We enable humanitarian aid throughout the duration of the war to enter Gaza – otherwise, there would be no Gazans.””
Of course reality begs to differ, with the starvation campaign having started back in the 90s:

“Starting in the early 1990s, Israel made it increasingly difficult for Palestinians and commercial goods to enter or leave Gaza, which along with the West Bank and East Jerusalem has been under Israeli military occupation since 1967.”
From 2018:

“Today, one million Palestinians in Gaza don’t have enough food to feed their families, despite receiving food assistance or other forms of support.”
2023:
https://euromedmonitor.org/en/gaza
“Under international law, Israel is an occupying power although it already ‘disengaged’ from the Gaza Strip in 2005; it still continues to control entry and exit from Gaza by land, sea and air. Likewise, it controls Gaza’s population registry, telecommunication networks and many other aspects of daily life and infrastructure. Rather than undertaking its duty of protecting the civilian population in the Gaza Strip, Israel has been placing Palestinians under a suffocating blockade, which constitutes an unprecedented form of collective punishment in a stark violation of international humanitarian law.”
In other news, Former President Barack GoBomb’em issues valiant statement: “starving people is bad, ‘mkay?”
I have written three lengthy and well researched letters to Obama detailing why he disappointed me. No response, but that’s to be expected.
🤣
Too little too late
You had 8 years to have the CIA invest in some regime change in Israel for the long-term stability of the region big guy
This was always coming, they’re extra fucked that it’s happening now under Trump, but every US president at least since Carter is complicit.
Edit: Also "prevent"able get the fuck out of here
Israel doesn’t need a regime change , it need deradicalization
Okay, here’s the answer: Just do an occupation of the whole region like Germany after WW2. Israel and Palestine both.
Have interviews with each and every person. Give them a choice: We’re going to have peace. We’ll set the boundaries, we’ll run the civilian police for a little while, nobody shoots anyone, nobody takes anyone’s land. The boundaries might not be fair, you might or might not agree, but that’s what we’re doing. Are you cool with that? Or do you feel like you want to fight for something better than that, for your people?
Anyone that says “cool” gets to live in the currently Israel part. Anyone that says “fight for my people” gets to live in the currently Palestine part, with all the apartheid infrastructure that the Israelis already set up for them. They’re probably not going to like it. Well, you said you wanted to fight, now we’re fighting, stay in your box, we’ll have some patrols with some trigger happy soldiers. You can fight them, if you want. Anyone in the Israel part who also happens to be Israeli and falls back into some old habits gets to deal with UN sanctioned MPs with the little blue helmets, maybe with the US military if they get extremely excited. And then they go in the box.
Netanyahu and all the IDF leadership and anyone who seems appropriate goes to the ICC, just drop them off at the door in cuffs and let them sort it out what they want to do with him.
I mean, as long as I’m dreaming, I’d like a Caribbean vacation, too. But if you ask me what a solution looks like, that’s the best I can come up with. Maybe let that go for five years or so, and then go into the box again and poll the people: Hey, ready for peace? It’s ready for you, if you want it, if not then we’ll be back in a few years to check again. Let us know.
Just elaborate fantasies to distract me while everyone is dying, along with their families
Is he going safe? Even trump learnt to spell starvation now.
Better late than never I suppose. If more people with power could come to this conclusion we would be on the right track.
What conclusion? This is “Well, the job’s basically done, here’s a quote to say I always opposed this for when we all have always opposed this.”
