The unfolding genocide in Gaza is the latest chapter in Israel’s attempt to remove Palestinians from their land. All those calling for a ceasefire should join in the longer-term efforts to dismantle Israeli apartheid.

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich’s plan to annex the West Bank would see over 60% of the territory becoming a part of Israel. But Palestinian experts say it is “already happening.”

“US took part in raid that murdered 210+ Palestinians in , used ‘aid’ jetty: Israelis disguised trucks as aid delivery vehicles before killing hundreds of Palestinians and several Israeli captives, to free just four. silent on Palestinian victims as he praises Israel, but Israeli families slam Netanyahu”

by Skwawkbox @skwawkbox

@palestine @israel

“Israeli occupation troops were directly aided and abetted by US forces as they hid inside a fake ‘aid truck’ to launch the raid on Nuseirat refugee camp that killed hundreds of Palestinians. troops used the US-built supposed ‘aid’ jetty to provide support for the raid.

The Israelis also killed several of their own citizens in the assault and managed to free only four – who would certainly have been killed before they were ‘rescued’ if the Palestinians were interested in killing them. The Israelis paraded in front of the cameras appeared well fed and cared-for, in a territory where two million people are in famine.”

Joe Biden continues to fully support the Gaza genocide because he does not believe it will hurt him politically, and because he has no empathy for the Palestinians. This is the same arrogance that brought down LBJ over the Vietnam war.

    That’s a claim only American audiences are buying. I just listened to a report on the CBC in Canada who made it clear Netanyhu and America’s lack of guarantee of a permanent ceasefire is the problem, and Netanyhu’s political survival.
