GENEVA, June 23 (Reuters) - Israeli authorities and security forces deliberately targeted Palestinian children, resulting in genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes in Gaza, and war crimes in the occupied West Bank, an independent U.N. inquiry said on Tuesday.
I genuinely don't understand why we're being asked to buy a book with important information about Trump when that information could have already been reported in the newspaper employing the two journalists who wrote said book.
SERIOUS QUESTION: Why is it socially acceptable to tell poor people how to spend their money ?? But when we ask the rich to stop hoarding wealth, the response is always “it’s their money”.
Israeli society is fully infused with the genocidal spirit. Israelis from across the political spectrum are preparing a collective alibi- "we were dragged into an existential war". Quite a few are "innocently" mentioning nukes. The consensus is broad and deep- genocide.
OOF: The plaintiffs who unsuccessfully sued trying to stop Trump from renovating the Reflecting Pool have just uncorked a scathing update to the judge
"This is the foreseeable result of defendants’ decision to bypass the consultative process required by law and which must occur before the government can alter our nation’s most sacred spaces"
"It should go without saying, Congress required agencies to consult with experts and public before making changes to historic properties for a reason. The public is now witnessing what happens when, instead, agencies barrel ahead with ill-conceived plans in a hasty manner to meet an arbitrary deadline imposed by the White House"
So @jonswaine@washingtonpost has seen hundreds of documents containing evidence that Tulsi Gabbard, Donald Trump's Director of National Intelligence, was directed throughout her career by the leader of the cult she grew up in

Reporter: Some members of the Jewish community, including Democratic Congressman Josh Gottheimer, were alarmed by the language you used at the rally last week, calling AIPAC monsters who move dark money.
Mamdani: I want to be very clear. We’re talking about a status quo where children are being killed on a daily basis. More than 1,000 Palestinians have been killed by the Israeli military since the so-called ceasefire.
Even an Al Jazeera journalist, Ahmed Wishah, was killed this past Saturday by an Israeli strike. And when I am speaking about AIPAC, I’m speaking about an organization that has been supportive of the status quo, that has fought any attempt to actually deliver safety to people not just in Palestine but, frankly, throughout much of the region.
And it is a status quo of immorality. It is one that I will not accept. And when it comes to the way in which they defend the status quo, oftentimes they defend it through direct contributions, as we are seeing right now in New York 13.
Oftentimes they also support the status quo through dark money, by funneling money that would have previously come directly from AIPAC through other organizations whose contributors’ identities are only made clear after an election.
And I think it is important that when we ask ourselves how such death and destruction is happening overseas, we also name those who allow it to take place.
Treasury just waived oil sanctions on Iran for 60 days — citing "progress."
Iran could rake in up to ~$10 billion off that decision alone.
In contrast, the Obama admin didn't lift sanctions until a deal was signed and the IAEA independently verified Iran's nuclear compliance.
THERE IT IS:
Another challenge to Trump's sweetheart deal that immunizes him from I.R.S. reviews
Group of former federal tax officials (who've served in Admins. of both parties) have filed brief challenging the deal in federal court in Florida
