Protesters call for Netanyahu‘s resignation in Tel Aviv
Those saying “there are no innocents in Gaza” are enabling, consciously or not, criminal plans of ethnic cleansing by way of forcible-transfer, as well as extensive killing of innocent civilians. Words that policy makers speak become policy. As Israelis, we must not stay silent.

The crime of genocide is barbaric, whether it be against Indigenous peoples, Armenians, Jews, Tutsi or Congolese people… Yet, in the midst of actual genocidal attacks against Palestinians by Israeli forces enabled by the US government, Congress focuses on possible genocidal speech acts of students against Jews. This flagrant silence and indifference against Palestinian suffering speaks volumes on the hypocrisy and double standards in American society. #CeaseFireNow #StopTheGenocide
Israeli forces executed an unarmed 9 year old Palestinian child in Jenin out in the open. Some of the same people who would’ve issued statements of outrage and maybe even took to the streets if this happened here in the United States will continue to remain silent while our children are murdered in cold blood every single day

The Democratic Party and Biden are responsible for the Gaza genocide perpetrated by Israel.
(04.12.2023)
Even the Statue of Liberty must be crying with shame and asking for forgiveness.
The UN is describing the situation in Gaza as “apocalyptic”. Palestinians are running out of food and of places to seek safety as Israeli troops battle Hamas fighters in the middle of Khan Younis in the crowded south of Gaza. @SecKermani‘s report contains distressing images.
Any one of the 139 states party could invoke the Genocide Convention against Israel and its co-conspirators.Those states include Iran, Russia, Libya, Malaysia, Bolivia, Venezuela, Brazil, Afghanistan, Cuba, Ireland, Iceland, Jordan, South Africa, Turkey and Qatar. ……
MSF calls US veto of Gaza ceasefire resolution “a vote against humanity”
Avril Benoît, executive director of Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) USA gave the following statement:
“As bombs continue to rain down on Palestinian civilians and cause widespread destruction, the US has once again used its power to block an attempt by the UN Security Council to demand a ceasefire in Gaza. By vetoing this resolution, the US stands alone in casting its vote against humanity.
The US veto stands in sharp contrast to the values it professes to uphold. By continuing to provide diplomatic cover for the ongoing atrocities in Gaza, the US is signaling that international humanitarian law can be applied selectively—and that the lives of some people matter less than the lives of others.

A Batshit Number of Young Swing State Voters Think RFK Jr. Should Be President
As you’ve probably heard by now, a very scary poll released on Sunday shows Joe Biden losing the 2024 election to the four-time indicted insurrection enthusiast Donald Trump in five out of six major battleground states. That’s obviously a wildly disturbing prospect; it would be like asking someone if they’d like to catch a movie after work or have a rusty crowbar shoved up their ass, and then seeing them choosing the latter. But possibly even more surprising? How popular anti-vaxxer candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is among voters.
Voters Want the U.S. to Call for a Permanent Ceasefire in Gaza and to Prioritize Diplomacy
(December 5, 2023)
Sixty-one percent of likely voters, including a majority of Democrats (76%) and Independents (57%) and a plurality of Republicans (49%), support the U.S. calling for a permanent ceasefire and a de-escalation of violence in Gaza.
After voters are presented with arguments for and against a permanent ceasefire, a majority of them still support the U.S. calling for a permanent ceasefire by an +18-point margin.
Replying to @POTUS Today’s US veto against the UN’s resolution for an immediate cease fire in Gaza, made crystal clear your direct culpability in this genocide. And as such, I will for the first time as life long Democrat do everything in my power to ensure you will not be re-elected.
The War in Gaza Is Splintering the Democratic Party
(November 17, 2023)
Already, there are signs that the party is fracturing over Israel. According to a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll, about three-quarters of Democrats want a cease-fire, but few in the Democratic establishment share their views. Last week, in a rare gesture of defiance, more than 100 congressional staffers walked out to demand that their bosses back a cease-fire. More than 500 alumni of Biden’s 2020 presidential campaign and Democratic Party staff members have signed a letter imploring Biden to call for a cease-fire, saying, “If you fail to act swiftly, your legacy will be complicity in the face of genocide.”
David Pratt: Joe Biden‘s foreign policy could cost him the election
(December 7, 2023)
In recent days, vice president Kamala Harris – remember her? – has declared that “Israel must do more to protect innocent civilians”, while defence secretary Lloyd Austin delivered the assessment that Israel risks “strategic defeat” unless it protects Palestinians in Gaza.
Talk about too little too late, or perhaps a more appropriate metaphor would be running with the hare and hunting with the hounds.
Despite PM Netanyahu‘s vast personal & political efforts to clear his name and blame the army and its commanders for the disaster of October 7 only 19% of Israelis believe he should remain in post. 72% believe he should resign– 41% after the war, 31% immediately.

«Netanyahus Sohn sitzt den Krieg am Strand in Florida aus»
(13. November 2023)
Der älteste Sohn von Benjamin Netanyahu betreibt in den sozialen Medien gezielte Desinformation.
Offiziell übt er keinen Beruf aus – laut israelischen Medien soll er aber seit Jahren die Social-Media-Strategie des Vaters lenken.
Nur ein Bruchteil der Posts enthält tatsächliche Informationen.
Israelis have noticed this image from Gal Eizenkot‘s grave: One father standing over the coffin of his son killed in battle; another father who got underlings to illegally grant his toxic troll son a diplomatic passport when he returned from 9 sybaritic months on Miami Beach.
The #GenocideConvention & Universal Declaration of #HumanRights have been adopted on 9 & 10 Dec 1948. 75 years later, the two remain closely interlinked, as explained by @UNHumanRights Chief @volker_turk who joined the #GenocideConvention75 marking with a special message
US vetoes resolution on Gaza which called for ‘immediate humanitarian ceasefire’
The UN Security Council held an emergency meeting Friday morning New York time to discuss the catastrophic situation in Gaza. This follows Wednesday’s urgent letter by Secretary-General António Guterres – one of the most powerful tools at his disposal – urging the body to help end carnage in the war-battered enclave through a lasting humanitarian ceasefire. A resolution tabled late afternoon in the chamber calling for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire was vetoed by the United States.

„Divorced From Reality“: US Vetoes UN Resolution On Gaza Ceasefire
Its deputy representative at the UN, Robert Wood, said it was „divorced from reality“ and „would have not moved the needle forward on the ground“.
That was in spite of warnings from the World Health Organization that civilisation was collapsing in Gaza.
