Increasingly violent siege of north raises suspicions about Netanyahu’s war aims
Israel has tightened its siege of northern Gaza in the face of warnings from the UN and other aid agencies that hundreds of thousands of Palestinian lives at are risk, raising questions over whether the Netanyahu government’s ultimate war aims include territorial expansion.
The IDF says it is hunting Hamas militants but suspicions are growing that Israel is putting into practice a blueprint it had officially distanced itself from, known as the “generals’ plan”.
The plan, named after the retired senior officers promoting it, was intended to depopulate northern Gaza by giving the Palestinians trapped there an opportunity to evacuate and then treating those that stayed as combatants, laying total siege.
If Kamala wins the biggest fear is liberals not demonstrating out of complacency. Similar to how the George Floyd movement died after Biden was elected. But subsequent years police violence has gotten worse.
Whomever wins this time, mass protests. Instantly. Everywhere.
For real change, we need to change local for cops. States hold police in check and unfortunately federal has little they can do.
Also Biden never had control of the house. He would need that for any federal change. I personally was effected by the police and wish my federal reps could do something. However, I live in a gerrymander hell hole called North Carolina.
But you are right, we need to stand united against the murdering of the palestinians.
protesting against zionist violence and land theft has all but been outlawed.
But if this was two months ago, I'd agree with that. Thats why I was hoping more people would sign onto the uncommitted movement when we had a chance to let biden/harris know that supporting genocide wasnt going to be permitted by the voters.
Yeah, that worked though. Biden stepped down and was replaced with Harris. That is extremely rare. His debate didnt help but different states voming back with 1-8% uncommited/other was also a driving force.
Right now we need to defeat the local threat before we can put presser on the over seas threat. I.e russia and isreal
Am i the only one paying attention to what she has said in interviews in the recent months ? If Kamala wins, Palestinians are gone. She will support Israel's right to "defend itself", which is, as we all know, politician speak for committing genocide.
If Trump wins, Palestinians are gone too. Palestinians are gone whichever way this toast falls because it is the will of the US people that the Palestinians are gone. They want them dead. They paid for their genocide over dozens of years and when it was obvious what Israel was doing, they kept doing it, even against the entire planet. Genocide is Biden's Requiem, but it was the combined complacency or willful support of 350 million people, excluding the Europeans who joined in too, like Germany.
Don't delude yourself that there's anything that can be done for Palestine at this point. All it's left is a generation of hurt children who will probably turn to terrorism because their families are dead. We, the Democratic, "civilized" world did this, or let this be done, to them. We act like we're better than everyone else, because of our elections, our freedom of press, our rights of the people, but at the end of the day, we commit genocide just like China. We are not better. We're just crap of the same sewers and we bear the shame for Palestine.
