Everyone who says "I refuse to vote for Biden" is saying "it's fine with me if violent religious extremists like Tsav 9 destroy all the food going into Gaza. Let the Gazans starve. It's not my problem."

They should be treated like they said that, because they did.

‘Solidarity over hatred’: the small band of Israelis stopping settlers obstructing aid trucks

Israeli #Peace activists confronting settlers acknowledge they are ‘a minority within a minority’

At approximately 10.30am on a scorching Monday, a group of five young Israeli #settlers arrived at the Tarqumiya #checkpoint, west of Hebron in the West Bank, where dozens of aid trucks bound for Gaza were expected.

The settlers had received detailed information about the timing, location, and number of trucks that would pass through the checkpoint that morning. What they had not anticipated was that dozens of peace activists had also gathered in Tarqumiya with a specific mission: to prevent the settlers from blocking the vehicles and ensure that the aid continued its journey to Gaza.

@faab64 was so demoralized when I hadn't heard of anyone doing this. Thanks for sharing.

May their numbers grow

Sadly the numbers are very very small and they are under extreme pressure from all sides in Israel.

“After its deadly attack on a World Central Kitchen convoy, Israel said that it would expand the flow of aid. Instead, Israel blocked the level of aid entering even further.” -B Tashman “Access to aid in Gaza was dire. Now it’s worse.” The aid into Gaza has shrunk so much that humanitarian officials say they are at risk of shutting down, & that there is a risk of widespread starvation. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/05/27/world/middleeast/gaza-food-aid-crossings.html

Oppressive regimes control & selectively remove media coverage, SM..., that keep them accountable. Netanyahu may be covering up more war crimes:

Israeli officials seize AP EQP & take down live shot of northern Gaza, citing new media law. The QA satellite channel is among 1000s of clients that receive live video feeds from the AP & other news orgs. The AP denounced the move.

@KimPerales US is now using the "humanitarian peer" to ship weapons to Israel. And of course, without any reporters allowed in Gaza, no one can report what really going on there.

„Israel’s military assault in retaliation for Hamas’ deadly Oct 7 attack has pushed Gaza to the brink of famine, aid agencies say, though some more aid is starting to flow in.

Palestinians in Gaza said the extra supplies were still nowhere near enough to ease harsh conditions with nearly all the tiny, crowded territory’s inhabitants displaced from their homes.“

Israel's Past 'Weaponization' of Gaza Food Supplies Looms Over Deaths

by Karl Vick, April 3, 2024

"Starvation may well be replacing bombs as the gravest danger in Gaza. But the killing on Monday of seven aid workers demonstrates that the two lethalities can combine to devastating effect. The Israeli government called the deaths of seven staffers for World Central Kitchen “a tragedy.” But as the food aid group—which had rushed into Israel to feed people there after Oct. 7—announced that safety concerns were forcing it to pull out of Gaza, advocates saw additional evidence that Israel is “weaponizing” access to food in an enclave where 1.1 million face danger of famine.

Israeli airstrike killed 7 food aid workers as they left their Deir al-Balah warehouse "amid ongoing operations delivering aid supplies"

"The food charity World Central Kitchen (WCK) said they had coordinated the convoy’s movements w/" the IDF

"The destroyed vehicles bear the hallmarks of a precision strike, which only the IDF has the capability to conduct in the region"

Cars "were white & at least one had the WCK logo & name clearly marked on the roof"

Ready for a that will scare the living shit out of you?

Here goes.

Ink in the blogosphere is beginning to spread about the proposed bridgehead on the Mediterranean coast of .

Some are saying it’s a distraction to appease while Biden continues to provide arms and cover. Some, that the intention is to actually benefit the by providing a place to evacuate . Some go so far as to claim it’s intended as the terminus of the dream.

My take? These theories fail to understand the genius leaders in the U.S. are capable.

@breadandcircuses That’s the thing about gaming out worst case scenarios.

  1. You’re ready for them, and
  2. You pray that you’re wrong.

And with the leadership in the United States??? It definitely behooves one to always game out the worst case.
