There is no shortage of evidence of Israel's killing frenzy. Where there is a desperate shortage is in the West's reserves of basic ethics - as evidenced from its nonchalance in the face of an Israel keen to advertise its genocidal prowess www.nytimes.com/2025/04/04/w...
Video Shows Aid Workers Killed in Gaza Under Gunfire Barrage, With Ambulance Lights On
The U.N. has said Israel killed the workers. The video appears to contradict Israel’s version of events, which said the vehicles were “advancing suspiciously” without headlights or emergency signals.

The word “terrorist” is a meaningless tool of imperial narrative control.
Want to bomb some people? Designate them as terrorists.
Want to silence protesters and dissidents? Say they’re supporting terrorists.
Want sweeping surveillance powers? Say you need them to fight terrorism.

Worth pointing out that Trump's CIA director John Ratcliffe, who was in the Signal group chat, and who ludicrously tried to defend it in Congress this week, was confirmed with the votes of 21 (!) Senate Democrats.

They can try to cut the Department of Education, but can’t manage to stop sending money to Netanyahu.

Dems have been complicit long before this most recent and brand spanking new moment of complicity.
Remember: whatever happens from here on out the Dems who vote for this GOP budget are complicit. Because they willingly surrendered the power they had to stop it.
The idea that allowing what’s been happening the last two months to continue is a way to avoid “blame” is madness

The most immediately glaring and significant point about the Trump-Zelensky dustup is that Trump isn't laying that same kind of smackdown on Netanyahu right when the Israeli government is refusing to honor the Gaza ceasefire deal and move it to its second phase as agreed.
