What ceasefire? Within hours, Israel is back to massacring and starving Palestinians in Gaza - and the Western media is still regurgitating Israeli claims, after two years of daily war crimes and relentless, incessant lies.

Samer Abu Diak, released to occupied West Bank, who was beaten by Israeli occupation troops before his release.

He was held as captive for two decades and his brother Sami, imprisoned since he was a teenager, died in Israeli occupation captivity after 17 years imprisonment in 2019.

Too bad Biden didn't have any leverage at all and just had to take "no" for an answer

Israel's dependence on the United States was stated bluntly by retired IDF Maj.
General Yitzhak Brick in an interview earlier this week.
"All of our missiles, the ammunition, the precision-guided bombs, all the airplanes and bombs, it's all from the U.S. The minute they turn off the tap, you can't keep fighting. You have no capability.... Everyone understands that we can't fight this war without the United States. Period."
