Here's what's happening, as far as I can tell.
-The US agreed with Hamas to release Edan Alexander in exchange for lifting the siege on Gaza.
-Edan was released, but Trump betrayed his promise. Israel continues to starve Gazans.
-It seems the US objective was to clear out this one US-Israeli citizen prior to letting Israel impose its violent endgame on Gaza.
-Meanwhile, the US has been pressing Libya to take 1 million Palestinians, who will be ethnically cleansed by Israel.
-Libya... the US is using the country they destroyed in 2011, and which remains extremely weak and vulnerable to imperial pressure.
Evil doesn't even begin to describe what we are witnessing. All with the complicity of Western leaders and the cowardly silence of the Western press.
I cannot deal with this Gaza stuff man. This is beyond inhumane. I cannot believe we created a world where these evil Zionist demons are going to kill every Palestinian, take over the land, and live happily ever after. This cannot be it. I just cannot accept this
Many in our media are finally waking up to the unspeakable horrors that Palestinians are enduring in Gaza.
It is too late.
Israel inflicted these horrors because they were encouraged to do so, in part by a media class that failed to treat all human life with equal worth.
I cannot believe I’m writing this.
But Keir Starmer today resumed British spy flights over Gaza to collect intel for Israel.
This Shadow R1 left UK base on Cyprus at 3pm and spent 5 hours over Gaza.
The plane’s capabilities include “target acquisition” for military strikes.
The problem with a lot of this white working class fury is that it is never directed at the class system in England…
But the ire is directed at Black and Asian people.
You’re in a country with aristocracy and a reigning monarch.
START THERE.

I've not seen a single media outlet in the UK, Europe, or US report on the killing of this little girl by the Israeli military.
Not a single political leader has spoken of this incident. No emotive interviews have been done with her family. No condemnations have been issued.
These colonial and racist ‘raped and pregnant’ fantasies have a long history. They are always used to demonise & dehumanise the colonised and rationalise colonial brutality
