Israeli soldiers harass a little Palestinian girl and take her bicycle. If soldiers were bullying a child like this in any other country, half of Washington would be calling for military intervention to stop it.
But when Israel does it, the US funds it.

So Israel breaks the ceasefire, and after having killed dozens, including children, declares that the ceasefire is back on.
Under no definition of a ceasefire is this permissible.
As I said at the outset: It will only work if Trump SUSTAINS pressure on Israel.
He isn't.

Oh, how times have changed:
When Ilhan Omar said "It's all about the Benjamins" all hell broke loose.
Now, major voices on all sides say it openly. Here's

OMG!
Jewish-American doctor recounts how Israeli soldiers took two Palestinian children, tied their hands behind their backs, and buried them alive.
"Their cries being muffled by the dirt as it was poured upon them while they were being buried alive."
These were children!

Israel killed their parents. Destroyed their homes. Killed their siblings. It took their feet, sometimes their hands, and even their eyes.
But it could never kill their spirits.
These Gaza children are the survivors of a genocide.

Some in Europe hope that a mere shaky ceasefire in Gaza should enable Europe to go back to business as usual with Israel (not that they really abandoned business as usual in the first place...)

Witkoff mentions Netanyahu and the Israeli crowd won't stop booing.
If only Western media had reported that many Israelis blame the prolonged suffering of the hostages on Netanyahu.
Instead, they have uncritically parroted the false line that Netanyahu continued the war TO GET THE HOSTAGES HOME.

This is why those banking on the Israeli "opposition" convince very few...
Yair Lapid, head of Israel's opposition:
"Those who demonstrated against Israel in London, Rome, Paris... were deceived by propaganda... The truth is, there was no genocide, no intentional starvation."

Told @BeckyCNN that it would be a disaster if Trump lets Israel reduce his deal to just a ceasefire and not the end of the war that he has touted it as.
Netanyahu made sure the previous deal never reached Phase II, will Trump allow him to do so again?

This is what Greta Thunberg said as she arrived in Greece after being illegally detained by Israel. Fifty years ago, this speech would have been given by Sweden's Prime Minister Olof Palme.
Today, the Swedish government is effectively on the side of Israel's occupation and genocide.

Trump just tweeted that "Israel must immediately stop the bombing of Gaza."
In the past, Trump has demonstrated the ability to press Netanyahu into getting what he wants.
What he hasn't shown yet is the ability to SUSTAIN that pressure.
Trump must show that now.

The fear is gone! Supporters of Israel's genocide are increasingly failing to intimidate people into silence.
Here's football legend Pep Guardiola calling on the people of Barcelona to flood the streets tomorrow at noon to demand an end to the genocide.

I have to admit: That the noble Italian people would be on the frontlines of preventing Israel's genocide in Gaza - putting much of Northern Europe to shame - was not on my bingo card.

Much of the world will soon become inaccessible to Israelis who partook in the Gaza genocide.
Here's law expert Chris Sidoti, arguing that IDF soldiers who had “any involvement" in Gaza should be treated as “suspects" - investigated and prosecuted - if they come to Australia.

That Netanyahu was forced to apologize to the Emir of Qatar by phone from the White House with Trump in the room shows the leverage that the US has over Israel when it chooses to.
Too often it chooses otherwise.
It could've chosen not to support the genocide in the first place

Israel uses a quadcopter to assassinate a Palestinian doctor while he's working inside the hospital. The drone shoots him in the head from outside the window of the hospital.
This is not collateral damage - Israel is literally assassinating Gaza doctors while they work.
