Keeping up with and commenting on #Trump news 24/7 doesn't make you an informed citizen, much less an activist. It makes you a partisan hack who refuses to acknowledge the humanity of people who are already being killed by American #fascism. Turn off the Rachel Maddow and start reading some al jazeera. #racism
Mayors, police chiefs, and university heads have defended their violent attacks on student protests by claiming “outside agitators” are the cause of unrest. This racist trope was used during the civil rights movement and is equally obscene today.
"The overwhelming truth is that the majority of criminal laws are not a deterrent to the serious violations of law committed by sitting presidents of the United States"
"Biden is violating the UN Charter and other treaties that past Administrations have signed and that have been ratified by the U.S. Senate. Biden and other presidents act like they are above these and other laws"
There's a new #ceasefire proposal on the table, and yet Mastodon is awfully quiet about it. This is even more strange given how widely the last #hamas proposal was received.
In the proposal, #israel moves again quite a lot. Partial withdrawal of #IDF before any #hostages are released.
Given the nonexistent reception, my impression that quite a few folks here care less about lives in #gaza and more about hating on "the west" hardens.
The Israeli Knesset’s preliminary bill to designate UNRWA as a terrorist organisation is an outrageous attack on humanitarian assistance, and an act of collective punishment against the Palestinian people.
Israel’s allies, which are all members of the United Nations, must stand against this move to criminalise humanitarian assistance and ensure that #UNRWA can continue its essential work.

The current American threats to sanction the ICC could spell the death of International Law. Whatever little hope people had for a just international system will disappear.

Biden is exactly like Trump in this regard. The court isn't doing things the way he wants them and kissing his ass so he is attacking the court instead of realizing his behavior is wrong and needs to be corrected. #GenocideJoe#Genocide#GasLighting#Biden
Two more #US officials resign over #Biden administration’s #genocide in #Gaza, accusing the administration of lying about Israel’s obstruction of aid to Palestinians
During a press conference, National Security Council spokesperson John #Kirby emphasized that despite Israeli airstrikes targeting displaced Palestinians' in #Rafah, Israel has not crossed US "red lines".
Kirby stated that the US is not turning a "blind eye" to the plight of Palestinian civilians, acknowledging the "tragic mistake" made by Israel in the airstrike that killed at least 45 Palestinians in tents.
Regarding the presence of Israeli tanks in Rafah, Kirby noted that the US has not observed large-scale ground operations or coordinated "maneuvers" against multiple targets by Israeli troops.
The New York Times reported that the bombs used in Sunday's airstrike were of US origin, specifically GBU-39 bombs. American officials have encouraged Israel to use these bombs to reduce civilian casualties.
"A CNN report said American GBU-39 bombs were used in deadly attack on designated safe zone for Palestinians"
"After geolocating the footage, explosive weapons experts confirmed that remnants of the American-manufactured GBU-39 diameter bomb (SDB) were present"
US says Israel hasn't breached Biden's 'red line' despite Rafah massacre
The article reports a long list of lies John Kirby felt obliged to spew at the press:
"Israel has not violated President Joe Biden's "red line""
"Tel Aviv will not launch a full-scale ground invasion into [Rafah]"
"the US was monitoring the results of Tel Aviv's investigation into the what Israeli government said was a "precision strike"."
US-made CBU-39 munitions used in deadly strike on Rafah tent camp, CNN analysis shows noting that its use in a densely populated area is highly risky.
Munitions made in the United States were used in the deadly Israeli strike on a displacement camp in Rafah on Sunday, a CNN analysis of video from the scene and a review by explosive weapons experts has found.
The GBU-39/B Small Diameter Bomb (SDB) is a 250-pound (110 kg) precision-guided glide bomb that is intended to provide aircraft with the ability to carry a higher number of more accurate bombs. Most US Air Force aircraft will be able to carry (using the BRU-61/A rack) a pack of four SDBs in place of a single 2,000-pound (910 kg) bomb. It first entered service in 2006. The Ground Launched Small Diameter Bomb (GLSDB) was later developed to enable the SDB to be launched from a variety of ground launchers and configurations.
Joe Biden will stop at nothing to see #Satanyahu/ #Netanyahu achieve his goal with the utter and complete eradication of the #Palestinian people and her culture.
Good people do not support genocide.
Good people do not support Israel.
Good people do not support Joe Biden.
It is killing me sitting by and watching the extermination of an entire species and culture and I'm not able to do anything about it.
Israel doesn't deserve to exist as a Country and frankly, neither does the US at this point. The United States Government is just as culpable and complicit as Israel is in this #EthnicCleansing. Just as complicit in #Israel's #WarCrimes. Just as complict in Israel's #CrimesAgainstHumanity.
We may not be over there pulling the trigger and dropping the bombs, but we are supplying the arms, ammunition, and intelligence for Israel to slaughter an entire country's people!
Fuck you Joe Biden, and fuck you Benjamin Netanyahu. I hope both are charged with war crimes by the ICJ and both fucking arrested.
Urgent: The Secretary-General of the United Nations: We condemn the practices of “Israel” that led to the martyrdom of dozens of innocent people who were searching for shelter, and there is no safe place in #Gaza, and this horror must stop.
"US 'world's only superpower', Biden says amid declining popularity"
On #GenocideJoe 's speech at West Point's graduation ceremony. He's on a parallel universe: "world’s only superpower", "leading democracy," "protecting freedom and openness" really?
"Despite its well-documented Police crackdown on pro-Palestine protests at US universities, US President Joe Biden says that the US is the "leading democracy" in the world"
“Attacking the authority of the International Criminal Court and interfering in legal processes is nothing more than an attempt to prevent the genocidal maniac Netanyahu and his senior Israeli officials for being held accountable for crimes against humanity.”
“You are an enabler, President Biden,” Tlaib said to applause.
@Free_Press preparing the minds of americans to blame the loss of election on big bad russia than the disgusting criminal actions of #GenocideJoe and the corrupt DNC
