Israeli forces opened fire on starving Palestinians seeking aid today, killing at least 27 at the US-run site. As famine grips Gaza, the U.S. and Israel are using the aid distribution sites as mass killing fields. More than 1,300 Palestinians have been gunned down while trying to survive.
"The Israelis have no intention of under PM Netanyahu of giving the Palestinians a state."
Former US President Bill Clinton says Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu wants war with Iran to stay in power, not peace with Palestinians.

Photos of the past….
In the history of U.S.-Ethiopian relations, beginning with the establishment of diplomatic relations in 1903, there have been many official visits between the two countries. In fact, H.I.M. Haile Selassie was the first African leader to pay a visit to the White House during a trip to the U.S. in 1954 when he visited both government and non-government institutions. In this photo he is seen during a tour of the airplane manufacturer Boeing in Seattle, Washington. During the visit H.I.M. Haile Selassie was presented with a model Boeing B-52 by Boeing President William M. Allen as Seattle Mayor Allan Pomeroy looks on. At the Emperor’s right are his granddaughter Princess Seble Desta and Prince Sahle Selassie Haile Selassie.

The ICC has issued an arrest warrant for former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for his crimes against Palestinians in Gaza. Instead of upholding international law principles and arresting him, the Biden administration is welcoming him.

The Hand of Genocide.
This is the reality.
The US Ambassador Robert Wood vetoes a @UN Security Council resolution for an immediate ceasefire of the Israeli genocide in Gaza.
Robert Wood has raised his hand on behalf of genocide repeatedly. What must it feel like to lie in bed at night and know that you have sanctioned the further murder of thousands till the next resolution comes for you to put your hand up.
This is the hand of genocide.
🇨🇳FU CONG:
"In the future, when looking back, people will find it hard to believe.
When the US cast its first veto on October 18 last year, nearly 3,000 civilians had been killed in Gaza.
By the time the US cast its second veto, 17,000 people had been killed as a result of Israeli bombardment.
With its continued use of veto, when the US cast its fifth veto on April 18 this year, the death toll in Gaza had surged to 34,000.
Now, nearly 44,000 people have been killed in Gaza, and the US still do not hesitate to use its veto.
44,000. This is not just a number. Behind it could be a child, a nursing mother, or a breadwinner of a family.
The loss of each and every one of them means eternal pain for the surviving relatives.
People cannot help but ask: do Palestinian lives mean nothing?
Can the deaths of 44,000 people not win even a little bit of sympathy from the United States?
How many more people have to die to wake them up from pretending asleep?
In the future, when looking back, people will find it hard to understand.
The Security Council is mandated under the UN charter to shoulder the primary responsibility for maintaining international peace and security.
It is incomprehensible that for the past year or so, the United States has been so insistent in rendering the Council incapable of playing its role, leading to its paralysis.
The US has claimed to be conducting parallel diplomatic efforts and has repeatedly promised that progress would be made soon in the negotiations.
It is incomprehensible that to date, the so-called diplomatic negotiations have been going in circles.
Why is Israel allowed to continue its military operations while constantly putting forth new conditions for negotiations?
In the future, when looking back, people will surely feel indignant.
Israel has flagrantly breached every red line of international humanitarian law, with its actions causing an unprecedented humanitarian disaster.
But even as a famine is about to break out in Gaza, the United States always seems to be able to find justification to defend Israel.
This represents a distortion and selective disregard of the application of international humanitarian law.
People never knew before how low one could stoop in terms of double standard.
No wonder people feel angry.
Their indignation also stems from the fact that the continued supply of weapons from the US has become a decisive factor for the war lasting so long, causing so many casualties and so much destruction."
