Define “pariah state”:

[…] Unlike rogue states, pariah states do not have a fixed definition, but only characteristics that indicate possible violations. These include, above all, the production and use of weapons of mass destruction, tolerating terrorism, a lack of freedom of expression and democracy and violations of human rights. Unlike rogue states, a pariah state does not necessarily pose a threat to other states. Instead, the grievances are often directed only against one's own population.

What we’re seeing in is part of a long, systematic strategy by the Israeli military since day one of this genocidal war.

The deliberate and intentional destruction of all means of life, including public facilities, infrastructure, as well as residential homes, turned entire residential blocks and homes and areas into piles of rubble across the Gaza Strip.

... the one thing that they have right now … is the hope of going back to their homes.

10,000 children denied access to aid

On Wednesday, had a mission to drive a truck full of nutritional and medical supplies for 10,000 children. Their task was to deliver the aid, which was preapproved by Israeli authorities, from Deir el-Balah to Gaza City, a 40km (25 miles) round trip.

It took 13 hours and we spent eight of those around checkpoints, arguing around paperwork – was it a truck or a van. This truck was denied access.

" She waves the camera into a one room building where about 20 children, ages 5 to 12 sit around a long table, holding signs with University names . The camera stops at each sign and the students say "Thank you Columbia. Thank you Emory. Thank you Sciences Po. Thank you Palacion. Thank you U.C.L.A.

Upon retiring from work at age 58 (lucky me) in 2012, I chose to leave the United States in favor of Europe, where I ended up staying in Budapest, Hungary, for six years. I rented a studio apartment near the city center, bought a used bicycle, and enjoyed a modest, inexpensive, yet comfortable lifestyle.

Since my return to the U.S. in 2018, I’ve found there are many things I miss. When I lived in Budapest, there were three different small independent bakeries within a five-minute walk from my apartment. Also in that same radius were a couple of almost literal hole-in-the-wall fruit and vegetable shops offering delicious fresh produce. And although the nearby area held no chain restaurants, it was home to several quite good local eateries.

There were clothing stores selling both new and used goods, as well as shoe stores, all of them small and independent, not necessarily carrying a wide selection, but providing high quality items at surprisingly low prices, and with friendly trustworthy service. Plus, within a five-minute walk was a practically free public transit system than made frequent stops and could take me almost anywhere I wanted to go within the city, safely, reliably, and quickly.

So I wonder, why is it that — at least in my current neighborhood in suburban Virginia — the only options for baked goods or produce or clothing or home furnishings or hardware or almost anything else are chain stores? Well, that, or freaking Amazon. Why are all other choices so limited, so few and so far between? Why does virtually everything depend upon — no, actually demand the use of a car to get there?

Most United Statesians, I suspect, have no idea that people in other countries live so differently than the way we do here. We have been sold on the idea, taught from an early age, that ours is the best way, indeed the only sensible way to do things. Anyone suggesting that a less car-centric and hyper-capitalistic culture is not only possible but desirable, that it could be much more pleasant and satisfying, not to mention safer and more friendly to the environment, well, they plainly don’t know what they’re talking about. It makes me sad and angry.

@breadandcircuses one observation about North America, and I'm sure this is going to be the same impact in Europe ultimately is that small businesses everywhere are being forced out in favour of chains. The single biggest reason: RENT
The cost of rent has got so bad that only the big chains now can afford to set up shop. In countries/regions where there is reasonable rent control, you will see small business thrive.

faab64 , to palestine group

Just to understand the BS of Biden about a port in Gaza, remember that there are these land entries into Gaza available RIGHT now.

It's truly sickening to read and listen to all the nonsense about Biden using American Navy to set up a port of "entry" into Gaza while ignorijg the fact that there are 7 points of entry to the besieged Gaza, with over 130 trailer trucks waiting to be approved by IDF in Rafah and 100s of Jewish extremists blocking the passage of trucks via Karam Abu Salem border crossing.

The goal is not to help palestinians, it is to set-up military access and a way to deport Palestinians from Gaza in the name of humanitarian intervention.

Purportedly an article about the IDF targeting humanitarian aid convoys in Gaza, the author and the US mouthpiece being quoted nevertheless tie themselves into absurd knots trying to blame the lack of basic necessities in Gaza on "desperate Palestinians," "criminal elements," and, of course, Hamas.

Reuters:
"Israel Struck Palestinian Police Escorting Gaza Aid, Says US Envoy"

'Satterfield said the U.S. was working with the Israeli government and military to determine "what solutions can be found because everyone wants the assistance to continue."

'In addition to the threat posed by criminals, aid distribution is hampered by "the rising value of humanitarian assistance" leaking into the black market, Satterfield said.

'He denied allegations that Hamas has stolen aid and commercial shipments into Gaza, saying that no Israeli official has presented him or the Biden administration with “specific evidence of diversion or theft of assistance."

'But, he continued, Hamas has been using other aid delivery channels to "shape where and to whom assistance goes."'
