Israel bombed Gaza today killing dozens of Palestinians, claiming Hamas violated the ceasefire (despite reports Israel ran over an unexploded IED themselves)… and Trump appears to have no idea it happened.

DOJ whistleblower Erez Reuveni says Emil Bove told him, 'those planes need to take off no matter what, and if some court should issue an order preventing that, we may have to consider telling that court 'fuck you.'

Reuveni: It is the highest, most egregious violation of the lawyer's code of ethics.

Support for Israel is plummeting among the U.S. public, but Zionism dominates mainstream media more than ever. Several recent high-profile examples show the staggering disconnect between the media establishment and its viewers.

As support for Israel drops, the mainstream media is becoming even more Zionist

While people on here talk nonstop about this supposedly large contingent of the pro Palestine left which heaped praise onto Trump for the ceasefire, CNN's Dana Bash ran a seven minutes long program yesterday on how the left is ungrateful and never actually wanted a ceasefire.

I was out of Israeli prison in five days. They’ve been holding Dr Hussam Abu Safiya for nearly a year without charge, along with thousands more Palestinians. A ceasefire without an end to occupation and accountability for Israel will just be a slower continuation of the genocide

Israel is on notice for using sexual violence against Palestinians. It’s all too common as a war tactic

Horrific allegations of gang rape and reports of the targeting of reproductive facilities have alarmed the international community, but sadly, the strategy is not new.

In the deadliest violation of the ceasefire, an Israeli massacre targeted the Abu Shaaban family by striking their vehicle in Gaza City's Zeitoun neighborhood, killing eleven members of the family.

And even respectable news outlets go along with this hypocrisy.

Imagine if dead soldiers remains are returned in shackles. Depending on which side they are from, the response is either crickets or justification for genocide.

Aerial images reveal the massive scale of destruction across Gaza, where the Israeli occupation has wiped out entire residential neighborhoods and devastated farmlands, after dropping nearly 200,000 tons of explosives since October 7, the equivalent of around 13 nuclear bombs.

Perhaps on this app we can all see that.
In real life there are multitudes that believe the talking points.

The western govs just need nominal overtures and veil of a plausible deniability to welcome the occupying state back into the fold and ignore it’s war crimes and apartheid.
