Israel Is Kurd-Washing Its Crimes in Gaza

Faced with criticism of the war in Gaza, Israeli leaders cynically ask why the world worries about the Palestinians and not the Kurds. Israel’s supposed pro-Kurdish stance is empty posturing — and risks damaging the Kurdish fight for liberation.

In this case, any hope for seeking an external accounting for the event is likely to be kept in-house. Excuses of error and misidentification are already filling press releases and conferences. Doing so will enable the IDF to continue its program of quashing the Palestinian cause while pursuing an undisclosed war against those it considers, publicly or otherwise, to be its ameliorating collaborators. With an announcement by various humanitarian groups, including WCK, Anera and Project Hope, that their operations will be suspended following the killings, starvation, as a policy in Gaza, can receive its official blessing.

How much aid is getting into Gaza, and how?

Israel offers excuses rather than food, aid or any concern other than Occupy and Transfer

Israel denied shooting people but when witnesses proved otherwise they claimed they only shot Hamas suspects. On what basis was someone considered a suspect? We have seen Israel shoot hostages and civilians waving white flags. We have seen them bulldoze the evidence. We have then heard their excuse that people were killed in subsequent stampedes. But, how is a stampede started by shooting people!

That’s always been the Israeli way of argument. First denial if that doesn’t work blame the Gazans never Israel. No wonder the world is pissed off. The next step then is the rise of antisemitism and the holocaust. Jews are always the victims.

If antisemitism did exist to the degree Israel claims they wouldn’t be MPs or any elected positions however they are

People in Gaza are suffering severe food shortages, with the UN saying children in northern Gaza are starving to death and famine is looming.

On 29 February more than 100 people were killed when a convoy arrived at al-Rashid Street in Gaza City. Palestinians accused Israel of shooting dead people at the convoy. Israel initially said most were killed being trampled or run over by the convoy. It later said troops had fired at people who it deemed “suspects” who they deemed a threat.

Trump’s Excuses for Hoarding Classified Documents Are Getting More Absurd – Mother Jones

But the most absurd feature of Trump’s excuse could be its ham-fisted attempt to relate to the everyday person working from home. “Everyone ends up having to bring home their work from time to time,” the statement via Solomon read. “American presidents are no different.” Add that to the even more unbelievable assertion that Donald Trump works at all—and you’ll be left wondering, once again, how did things get this stupid.

‘I Have A Lot’ Going On: Trump Again Deflects Blame For Medical Supplies

President Donald Trump once again deflected blame for his administration’s response to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic that has infected more than 1.2 million people across the country, saying he had been too busy with probes into his conduct as president to ensure the federal stockpile of medical supplies was prepared for a pandemic.

“Well, I’ll be honest, I have a lot of things going on,” Trump told ABC News anchor David Muir on Tuesday. “We had a lot of people that refused to allow the country to be successful. They wasted a lot of time on Russia, Russia, Russia. That turned out to be a total hoax. Then they did Ukraine, Ukraine, and that was a total hoax. Then they impeached the president of the United States for absolutely no reason.”

Abbott’s excuses – » The Australian Independent Media Network

In response to Nicky Savva’s tell-all book, Tony Abbott issued a press release in which he, unsurprisingly, sang his own praises. I stopped the boats. I repealed the carbon and mining taxes. I signed three free trade agreements. I approved the Western Sydney airport. I kept the country safe. I made a “strong start” on…
