Gaza
- Israeli forces have bombed a tent camp housing displaced people in a designated safe zone in Rafah, killing 45 Palestinians, most of them women and children. The attack has triggered an international outcry, leading to calls for a ceasefire.
- The attack on the camp in Tal as-Sultan came after Israeli forces bombed shelters housing displaced Palestinians in other areas including Jabalia, Nuseirat and Gaza City, killing at least 160 others, according to Palestinian officials.
Biden has no red line. He is a war criminal. The ICC should issue an arrest warrant for him. Now. There should be no special privilege for him.
Two days after the International Court of Justice ordered Israel to immediately stop its assault on Rafah, Israeli warplanes began to drop bombs on refugee tent camps in what had previously been declared a “safe zone.” At least 45 people, including children and infants, were killed in the bombing.
As Al Jazeera’s senior political analyst Marwan Bishara highlights, Netanyahu’s deflection and Biden’s complicity in Israel’s invasion of Rafah present a stark contrast to the humanitarian principles they claim to uphold. He emphasizes that if the United States were in Gaza’s position, the nation would be mourning the death of 2 million American children after eight months of relentless warfare.
Seems appropriate to post this again.

Because allowing humanitarian aid is counterproductive to their genocide Israel continues its efforts to destroy UNRWA.
Israel’s parliament has voted to approve a bill that would designate the UN’s agency for Palestinian refugees as a terrorist organisation. The bill also calls for a complete severing of ties from UNRWA. Israel previously said UNRWA employees took part in the October 7 attacks, but an independent review concluded there’s no evidence to back the claim.
While Americans enjoy our long holiday weekend our government is burning Palestinian children in tents and generally committing war crime and genocide.
Well done America. Well done.
Palestinians search charred remains of Rafah tent camp
Emergency crews in Gaza’s southern city of Rafah have worked through the night to recover the remains of Palestinians killed in an Israeli strike… Many of the dead and injured are women and children. The Palestinian Red Crescent says people were ‘burned alive’ in their tents. The injured are being treated in overwhelmed and under-equipped hospitals.
FUCK YOU JOE BIDEN.
Israel’s war on Gaza live news: ‘People burned alive’ in attack on Rafah | Al Jazeera
As reported by The Forward, the background story of Theodor Meron one of eight legal and academic experts convened in January by ICC prosecutor Karim Khan in the investigation of possible crimes by Israel and Hamas.
By the age of 14, he had survived the Holocaust; by 44, he was an Israeli diplomat; now, at the age of 94, Theodor Meron recommended the International Criminal Court seek arrest warrants of Israeli and Hamas leaders for war crimes and crimes against humanity.
A serious, qualified person who has served the US, Israel and the international community his entire life.
In violation of international law Israel will continue the war and the US will continue to support Israel. Both believe they are above the law.
ICJ rules Israel must stop Rafah operation, what’s next? | Al Jazeera
The court was not convinced that Israel had taken sufficient measures to protect civilian life and voted – 13 judges to two – that Israel must take effective measures to enable any UN-backed commission of inquiry to enter Gaza and probe genocide allegations.
The court also reaffirmed its previous January 26 ruling that Israel must scale up aid to Palestinians in Gaza.
The US and Israel continue war cimes, ordered to stop by ICJ.
ICJ orders Israel to halt Rafah offensive in new ruling
Judges at the top United Nations court ordered Israel on Friday to halt its military assault on the southern Gaza city of Rafah, reports Reuters.
Reading out a ruling by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) or World Court, the body’s president Nawaf Salam said provisional measures ordered by the court in March did not fully address the situation in Gaza now, and conditions had been met for a new emergency order.
“Israel must immediately halt its military offensive” in Rafah, he said.
Damnnnnnn.

Pro-Israel billionaires urged New York crackdown on Gaza protests | Al Jazeera
WhatsApp leaks reveal group of business leaders discussed ways to pressure officials to clear pro-Palestine protesters.
A handful of powerful businessmen pushed New York City Mayor Eric Adams to use police to crack down on pro-Palestinian student protesters at Columbia University, donating to the politician and offering to pay for private investigators to help break up the demonstrations, the Washington Post has reported, based on leaked WhatsApp conversations.
The story, published on Thursday, says that several billionaires seeking to influence public perception of Israel’s war in Gaza discussed means of pushing the mayor and the university’s president to end the protests, which were eventually cleared last month amid criticism of the police’s heavy-handed response.
Jewish Biden appointee resigns, accusing US president of having ‘blood on his hands’ - YouTube
Al Jazeera’s Shihab Rattansi reports from Washington, DC, highlighting the recent resignation of Lily Greenberg Call, marking the first departure among Biden appointees due to President Biden’s unwavering support for Israel’s actions in Gaza.

Israeli Human Rights Lawyer Attacked While Documenting Settler Raid on Gaza Aid Convoy
Aid agencies are running out of food in southern Gaza amid Israel’s ongoing offensive in Rafah and the shutdown of the two main border crossings in the south. Some 1.1 million Palestinians are on the brink of starvation, according to the United Nations, while a “full-blown famine” is taking place in the north. Meanwhile, some Israelis have been blocking aid from reaching the Gaza border, including a violent attack on trucks carrying humanitarian relief through the occupied West Bank earlier this week.”
Joe Biden and those in Congress that continue to support arming Israel are supporting war crimes and genocide. They are war criminals.

What This Jewish Professor At Columbia Wants You To Know - YouTube
For over seven months, a dominant conversation in the U.S. news media has been about alleged and increased antisemitism on American campuses - culminating in the coverage around student encampments… In this interview, AJ+ speaks to Dr. Bruce Robbins, a Jewish professor at Columbia University who supported students protesting Columbia University’s investments in companies and programs that uphold Israeli apartheid and the genocide in Gaza.
It’s been clear for months that Israel is carrying out genocide in Palestine. And yet I still see Americans suggest it’s not happening, not genocide. Just two days ago a blogger citing the New York Times to suggest that the problem is confirmation bias and TikTok having undue influence.
Sure, because the New York Times, as the gatekeeper of “All the news that’s fit to print” is to be trusted.
The world would be a more just and peacful place if Americans made an effort to understand their role in the world. I’d suggest starting with texts like Chomsky’s “A Propaganda Model” excerpted from Manufacturing Consent, 1988 by Edward Herman & Noam Chomsky.

UN Officials Describe “Absolutely Catastrophic” Conditions in Gaza – Mother Jones
A senior UNICEF official for Gaza, Hamish Young, issued a statement on Saturday warning that “families lack proper sanitation facilities, drinking water and shelter,” and that “people are making improvised toilets by digging holes in the ground around groups of tents” in Al-Mawasi, a so-called humanitarian zone about six miles northeast of Rafah where Palestinians have been ordered to evacuate. He added that virtually no fuel or humanitarian aid had entered the Gaza Strip in five days.
How Zionism became a synonym for violence and oppression | The Guardian
For decades, Joe Biden has proudly declared that he is a Zionist, and he has repeated that claim since Hamas’s 7 October attacks on Israel. But for the student anti-war protests gripping the US, the words “Zionist” and “Zionism” have become a watchword – pejorative and emblematic of the violent state policies driving the war on Gaza…
Student protesters say that their criticisms of Zionism are rooted in the state of Israel’s displacement and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.
