Netanyahu said Israel would enter Rafah, which Israel says is Hamas’ last stronghold, regardless of whether a truce-for-hostages deal is struck.

but then there's this too. 

USA v HLF

 

 

[discolé monade]

no mention of the long term. 

The proposal “would produce an immediate cease-fire, get the hostages home, alleviate suffering of the Palestinian people in Gaza” in the short term, Blinken added before departing Israel.

Netanyahu doesn’t want a ceasefire, well he wants one, but only the kind of ceasefire where you’re still allowed to attack shit.

Ofc if he does this many more people will die. They told everyone in northern Gaza to go south. Now they’re going to attack the south, where close to 2 million people are now 

[1pooh4u]

At this point I’m just like, fuck it. Why can’t the nations of the world get together at the UN and tell Netanyahu “either you and (whoever is on the Palestinian side) come to a 2 state solution or we’re going to do it for you” They did it when they created Israel. Why can’t they to create a legitimate contiguous nation of Palestine.  Enforce the borders of 1967.

Report: Hamas Accepts Gaza Cease-fire Deal; Israeli Officials Reject Prospect of War Ending

[discolé monade]

So POLITICO Magazine reached out this week to top student journalists, who have been reporting on the turmoil at the ground level for weeks and months.

[discolé monade]

good for them.

at least they didn't have rifles trained on them. 

during our BLM PEACEFUL protest, the local racists yokels stood on the local coffee shop with rifles aimed our way, some...most.

Israel to close Al Jazeera news in the country.

 

 when truth starts catching that tiger by the tail, i guess. 

[1pooh4u]

Israel always hated Al Jazeera. Idk how much truth they actually report. They reported a couple of stories as fact that later had to be corrected or retracted altogether but it’s definitely not a good look.  Israel’s media is just propaganda basically so despite some mistakes that Al Jazeera has made they still have a right to report the truth as they see it

"We don't know where to go," said a young woman, Tasneem Ishta, heading out of Rafah to the area of al-Mawasi. "Our pots, pans, utensils, pillows, clothes, food, drink — everything is in this home."

[discolé monade]

After earlier signs of progress, the outlook appeared to dim as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to resist international pressure to halt the war.

A Biden administration report that could cut off military aid to Israel has been indefinitely delayed.

[discolé monade]

 

Biden's administration began a review of certain weapons transfers to Israel last month, a senior U.S. official said. The president then paused a shipment of 1,800 2,000-lb bombs and 1,700 500-lb bombs last week, as Israel ramped up plans for a ground invasion of the southern Gaza city

[1pooh4u]

This is why I don’t want to fuckin vote for Biden and I think anyone saying I should because of his jobs record can kiss my fuckin ass  My vote or lack thereof won’t stop him from winning the state  

I know Trump winning won’t be any better but I can’t fuckin vote for Biden until he actually does actions and not just words

Israeli military tanks have started to go deeper into the Jabalia refugee camp as part of a new offensive in northern Gaza, according to our correspondent. The development comes after Israel “carpet-bombed” the camp, killing and wounding several Palestinians.

[discolé monade]

Israeli tactics have meant “a horrible loss of life of innocent civilians” but failed to neutralize Hamas leaders and fighters and could drive a lasting insurgency.

The White House blasts Republican legislation aimed at forcing US President Joe Biden to release a shipment of high-payload bombs for Israel that he withheld earlier this month amid concerns that they would be used by the IDF in a major Rafah offensive that Washington opposes.

 

“We strongly, strongly oppose attempts to constrain the president’s ability to deploy a U.S. security assistance consistent with U.S. foreign policy and national security objectives,” press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters.

“His team should have made the decision that this is not the right time to take the spotlight from Morehouse students to the president and his bad policy on Gaza,” CAIR’s Edward Ahmed Mitchell said.

[scoobdog]

As much as I understand the anger, I’m equally frustrated at how protesters are more focused on canceling than they are in putting out a concise message.  They’re speaking to a divided America, and they’re not reaching the voters who can power change through the election by not presenting a complete vision.  Some are piggybacking unrelated causes, others are pushing vague objectives like divestment (which is a worthy goal that does nothing to alleviate the current crisis).  No one yet has put together a plan forward.

[MasqueradeOverture]

[discolé monade]

Israeli tanks moved into the heart of Rafah for the first time on Tuesday, despite an order from the International Court of Justice to end its attacks on the city, where many Palestinians had taken refuge from widespread bombardment

 

but it's ok, because the u.s. says 'no red line has been crossed'
