White House needs to stop enabling the Gaza genocide.

It’s way worse in Gaza than in Ukraine.

The civilian casualties in Gaza are orders of magnitude higher in Gaza, especially given it’s much smaller population.

In a non-hypocritical world, Israel’s assets in Western countries would be seized and give to Palestinians.

""Guterres asked rhetorically whether the alternative is viable. “It means that you have 5 million Palestinians living there without any rights in a state,” he said. “Is it possible? Can we accept an idea similar to what we had in South Africa in the past?""

If and when the Zionists comprehend and understand the values of Democracy, only then they will embrace it and allow the Palestinians Full Representation, until then Israel can NEVER be called a Democracy.

The Israeli Government is carrying out a Starvation Campaign against the People of Gaza, or so says Democracy Now and the United Nations. While multiple trucks filled with humanitarian supplies and food wait to enter Gaza, the Israeli Forces hold them back for inspection and security reasons, so few enter this region of crisis. 

Well over a year has passed as Israeli Forces continue to besiege Gaza claiming to be trying to eliminate Hamas as a military force. What many journalists, international politicians and Middle Eastern Specialists see is a nation states military trying to drive millions of Palestinians out of their homeland by whatever means possible. Airstrikes, tank and armoured vehicle movements strive to destabilize life in Gaza and make these native residents fear for their lives and very survival. Similar actions were carried out by the Germans when they invaded Poland long ago. Military actions have seem to remain the same, as to their purpose. Eradication of the "Palestinian Problem" has been the goal of the Netanyahu Government all along, seizing Gaza for Israeli use and driving the perceived Palestinian threat away for good. 

The United Nations special rapporteur on the right of food Michael Fakhri accused Israel of carrying our a starvation campaign against a civilian population, a action that is internationally viewed as criminal and answerable to the International Courts in the Hague. 2.2 million people in Gaza need food urgently and they are being treated as pawns within a game of international intrigue and conflict management by the super powers and their allies. 

Look to the American elections as a time when Israel will open the doors to humanitarian aid just as election day arrives. Israel's leader Netanyahu is a friend of former president Trump. Interesting idea?

Note: Remember when Iran held American Hostages only to release them just before a election. That action empowered Ronald Reagan to victory. Interesting methodology of Republicans eh?

This U.N. "chief" is oblivious to actual world events.

Important to observe he said it is WORSE than he has ever seen. Much, much worse. Scales of magnitude worse. Off the scale worse...

What is happening in Ukraine is nothing by comparison - with only military targets hit by RFAF.

To even compare the two is just plain dishonest.

“War is hell.”

Best not to start a fight which you can’t finish.
