*Important AFT Convention Update*:

We are delighted to report AFT has divested from all Israel bonds!

The International Relations Committee chair confirmed yesterday: AFT no longer holds any Israel bonds & decided not to reinvest in them when last one matured in late 2023.

[Jewish Voice for Peace @jvplive]

Since October, Congress has sent more than $14 billion to the Israeli military — on top of the $3.8 billion sent each year — and Biden has approved over 100 individual weapons transfers since October to the Israeli military.

BREAKING: 400 American Jews mark Netanyahu's arrival by refusing to leave Congress until our government listens to the will of the people and STOPS ARMING ISRAEL!

We won't let a day go by without demanding the US government end arms sales to Israel. We are committed to genocide never again, especially not in our name. @jvplive

French politician Jean-Luc Mélenchon who is sweeping to a shock victory in the French election has called for the recognition of a “State of Palestine”…

“France must recognize the Palestinian state now…. The balance of power must show that the whole world condemns this genocide”…🇵🇸🇫🇷

NYT: “While many in France cheered what appeared to be a loss for the far right, others were fearful of what the far left might bring.”

The terrifying stuff the left wants to bring:

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

If one includes both direct & indirect deaths from Israel's assault, the death toll in Gaza goes up to 186,000 people, according to the medical journal @TheLancet. That's 1 in every 12 Gaza inhabitants killed in the last 9 months of genocide.

The most terrifying spectacle to me is not the utter and across-the-board corruption of officialdom, but the inability of many (most?) Americans to even imagine forms of collective action that don’t involve courts or voting booths.

Israeli cabinet just declared to remove the Palestinian Authority from any governance power in east Bethlehem and southeast Jerusalem.

This is the first official move its kind since the Olso agreements as these areas constitute “Area B”.

Israel is preparing to bring what it did in Gaza to the West Bank, except rather than the military murdering us it is likely the deranged settlers that were strategically armed with new weapons in the last six months.

It’s been years in the making. The last two years we witnessed unprecedented settlement expansion and illegal outposts across the West Banks area B locations.

Please google what Area A, B, C mean. Stretch your brain a bit, it’ll also give you perspective on the labyrinthine ways settlers work in annexation. It’s not just bombs and bullets, it’s also in negotiations and treaties designed not for peace but for future conquest.

They’re strategic, but still psychopaths.

[Chris Hedges @ChrisLynnHedges]

The goal of the Democrats and Republicans, full partners in the funding of the slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza by Israel, is not to halt the genocide but hide it. The amendment to the Department of State appropriations bill (1) proposed by bipartisan legislators in the House, part of this effort to shroud the genocide in darkness, includes a provision (2) that “prohibits funds appropriated by this act to be made available for the State Department to cite statistics obtained from the Gaza Health Ministry.”

The mass killing in Gaza, now in its ninth month, will continue for many more months according to Israeli generals -- some Israeli military officials have been quoted in the Israeli press saying the entire assault on Gaza will take two years.

The Gaza Health Ministry has so far recorded some 38,000 deaths and 85,000 injuries. This is a vast undercount. The Health Ministry only counts the names of deceased recorded by hospitals and morgues. Given that Israel has bombed most hospitals, clinics and morgues into disuse and blocked medical supplies and fuel, given that there are tens of thousands of missing, most likely buried under the rubble, it is certain that the number of dead is in the tens of thousands, perhaps as high as 200,000. The Chair of Global Public Health at the University of Edinburgh, Devi Sridhar, estimates half a million Palestinians in Gaza will die in 2024. (It’s not just bullets and bombs. I have never seen health organisations as worried as they are about disease in Gaza | Devi Sridhar (3)). This is a far more realistic body count.

As Israel continues its saturation bombing and shelling of Gaza, as Palestinians continue to succumb to the Israeli orchestrated famine as well as the spread of infectious diseases caused by a lack of clean water, food, sanitation and health facilities, the numbers of dead will skyrocket. Hamas fighters, able to take refuge in the vast tunnel system in Gaza, have little interest in publicizing the huge numbers of civilians left above ground to die. The Israeli government is not anxious to make public the actual scale of the killing. But even the official undercount is too onerous for the mandarins in the two ruling parties. And so we blot out all numbers, as if the most heinous genocide in modern history, one that by the time it is over will take hundreds of thousands of lives, is not happening.

Palestine/Israel recap at #DebateNight:

• Moderator downplays the scale of Israel's massacres, skips over the lethal starvation campaign, & ignores the thousands of hostages Israel has taken.

• Biden responds by gaslighting America about who is obstructing the ceasefire.

• Trump uses "Palestinian" as an insult, & gaslights America about Biden's role in this ongoing genocide.

It's all so disgusting, it's really hard to know what to say to it.
