It has never been legitimate to shoot noncombatants because you decided they crossed some sort of line into a forbidden zone. It has never been legitimate to shoot noncombatants at all.

The onus for stopping a genocide is on the party committing the genocide. The onus is not on the victims of the genocide to end it by meeting certain conditions. This should not even need to be said.

It's actually never legitimate to withhold aid from starving civilians. It was never legitimate at any time.

In addition to this they've also found she had an E. coli infection that's been a contributer to her problems, but her ANC is high enough right now they believe that will resolve on its own. At this time she's scheduled for chemo treatment #10 on this coming Friday.

(she'll have to come in between chemo treatments for an IV-administered anti-fungal instead), and they're pulling one of her chemo medicines from the last three treatments that is rough on the digestive system.

Eva's receiving 100% of her nutrition by IV now. They want her to try to eat a little bit during the day if she can hold it down; success varies. They've made two big adjustments that should help over time: they aren't going to give her the anti-fungal-pneumonia drug

"Israel has announced that it is going to cut the aid it allows into Gaza in half and cut off fuel and gas shipments."

Imagine being this arrogant and murderous in a world in which God is real.

The Trumpanyahu Administration Is Already Sabotaging The Ceasefire

I don’t know who first coined the saying that an Israeli ceasefire means “you cease and we fire,” but it proves reliably accurate time after time.

O God, the Creator of all, whose Son commanded us to love our enemies: Lead them and us from prejudice to truth; deliver them and us from hatred, cruelty, and revenge; and in your good time enable us all to stand reconciled before you in Jesus Christ; in whose Name we pray. Amen.

Any nation that puts up with Israel deciding whether or not Palestine receives aid is not worthy of existing.

Let us not forget, the Epstein files are tied to the government shutdown. Why one might ask? Avoiding a vote to release them. Newly elected Rep. Adelita Grijalva was not sworn in yet because she would vote yes to release them. Such high levels of desperation broadcasts how guilty he is. /end

Republican Rep. Cory Mills allegedly threatened to release nude images of a 26-year-old woman and to harm her future boyfriends after she ended their relationship.

Now, a judge just ordered Mills, 45, not to come within 500 feet of the defendant & ruled that she is “a victim of dating violence.”

Judge grants ex-girlfriend restraining order against Rep. Cory Mills

A Florida judge said Rep. Cory Mills had cyberstalked an ex-girlfriend and barred the lawmaker from going near her residence or workplace or referencing her on social media.

Hamas gathering forces and working to reassert control sure doesn’t look like Hamas disarming and accepting an international security force in charge of Gaza.

Weren’t we told to gush with praise for the brilliant diplomacy that solved the big problems? Could’ve sworn that, it was just this week.
