Remember when Israel lied and claimed Al Shifa Hospital was atop an underground Hamas Pentagon and put out a 3D animated video depicting it as such and then the Biden administration co-signed that narrative & then Israel went on to systematically attack every hospital in Gaza?
“It’s kind of hard for me not to cry about this because I don’t think I have seen an army that has been so vicious and so non-stop in its aggression towards a civilian population.”
Karin Huster is a nurse who worked in Gaza over 5 months. This is what she saw ⬇️
Quite a sign when Stephen Walt, one of the most renowned scholars of international relations in the world (and Harvard professor), writes an article in Foreign Policy arguing that "Noam Chomsky has been proved right": https://t.co/SAmSGsXDJJ
Walt agrees with Chomsky that "the claim that U.S. foreign policy is guided by the lofty ideals of democracy, freedom, the rule of law, human rights" is "nonsense".
As he explains, all of US history proves the contrary, from the "genocidal campaign against the indigenous population" the country was founded upon, to the fact it intervened militarily "to thwart democratic processes in many countries, and waged or backed wars that killed millions of people in Indochina, Latin America, and the Middle East."
Walt also agrees with Chomsky that this is enabled by a massive brainwashing campaign on the US population: "government institutions work overtime to 'manufacture consent' by classifying information, prosecuting leakers, lying to the public, and refusing to be held accountable even when things go wrong or malfeasance is exposed. Their efforts are aided by a generally compliant media, which repeats government talking points uncritically and only rarely questions the official narrative."
Walt concludes: "If I were asked whether a student would learn more about U.S. foreign policy by reading [Chomsky's] book or by reading a collection of the essays that current and former U.S. officials occasionally write in journals such as Foreign Affairs or the Atlantic, Chomsky and Robinson would win hands down. I wouldn’t have written that last sentence when I began my career 40 years ago. I’ve been paying attention, however, and my thinking has evolved as the evidence has piled up."
Video shows the moment an ambulance crew was directly shot at by Israeli soldiers in Nuseirat, Gaza. Hours earlier, a group of journalists were reportedly targeted by an Israeli quadcopter in the same area.
US law is clear: No nation blocking US humanitarian aid can receive US weapons.
Palestinian children are forced to eat pet food and bug infested flour, but @SecBlinken says there’s no need to change our policy. The Biden administration is refusing to comply with US law.
Just now -- acclaimed British surgeon testifies to #UK Parliament, detailing how #IDF "quadcopters" would arrive at the scene of airstrikes in #Gaza & "pick-off" / "shoot" the injured, including children.
if right after picking Tim Walz as her VP Kamala had explicitly vowed to end the ongoing Gaza genocide by saying she would withhold all arms and funding supplies and diplomatic cover if it did not stop, and then also unveiled an economic package of free college, medicare for all, and a 15 or higher minimum wage, she would have easily won the election. That's just a fact, as all of this would have energized the Dem base and also poll very well among independents and even some Republicans.
Instead she ran on being the new version of Liz and Dick Cheney, vowing to endlessly continue the ongoing mass killing and rape of Palestinians and regurgitating genocidal atrocity propaganda hoaxes constantly, saying Iran is the greatest threat to the US and must be destroyed, having Mark Cuban as her main economic guru vowing to deregulate and cut taxes and "be good to Wall Street", and saying actually the Genocide Joe economy is wonderful and great and if you disagree you're too stupid to be able to properly read charts per Ezra Klein, Matthew Yglesias, Will Stancil and David Shor.
She ran a campaign by and for neo-con neoliberals, David Frum, Jeffrey Goldberg, Yglesias, Shor, and ate shit for it. She was humiliated so badly by a candidate, Trump, who said the most insane deranged shit constantly about Haitians eating dogs and cats, about how she's not really black, not having a plan for doing anything at all.
And you know why she and Democratic leadership did that? Because they didn't care if they lost. Losing is nothing to them. They keep their donor money. The Dem political PR strategist media class keeps its jobs. In fact, they get even more money because they'll switch to being epic based "resistance heroes" again and fleece their base of even more cash.
Kamala Harris and Democratic leadership intentionally threw the election instead of actually running a campaign that could win, because Israel is Uber Alles for them, Zionism sacrosanct, as are their other corporate overlords.
That's what happend in the 2024 election.
I don’t think anyone will ever be able to fully comprehend the extent of intergenerational trauma that is being created right now as we speak. This will be a stain on the history of humanity forever.
Say his name: Ahmed Abu Sakhil, a young journalist, martyred today with his father and his sister, the journalist Zahraa Abu Sakhi, in their home. Ahmed was the 186th journalist killed by US-Israel.
