Instead of dealing with the clear warnings he was given, the Israeli prime minister focused on crushing democracy, establishing his status as the supreme ruler and transferring resources to the ultra-Orthodox and the settlements
Israel claims it’s “Only after Hamas”. They don’t even measure their success or failure on the number of “Hamas killed”. If this war was numbers it would be judged a total failure. A failure because the world is witness to the numbers of innocents killed 2300 children, 5,800, and over 15,000 injured and more about to needlessly die in need of aid. Israel’s gesture to allow a few trucks in for 2.3M people is seen as little more than a callous PR exercise. If the world volunteered to take all the Palestinians and forego their homelands would Israel stop their genocidal carnage? With or without them Hamas would still exist as would the majority of the world’s Jews not wanting to live there.
Gantz, Cohen and Netanyahu yelling to rid the UN of Secretary Guterres shows they know they are losing this war in the eyes of the rest of the world. Might isn’t always Right. It no longer matters how wrong Hamas was Israel’s reaction has been worse. It isn’t a role model for doing things right.
If someone in a next-door family stabbed my brother because he felt hard done by. My family wouldn’t have the “right” to destroy his. Mine are obliged to step back and give some thought not just react by throwing a grenade killing a whole family and saying, ” Oops they just got in the way I was only after your son” 35 UN Peace Keepers were killed by Israel not by Hamas….Oops, they just didn’t in the way!
In a world where oil is increasingly unneeded and requires a united focus on Climate Change will the US and West continue to speak up for Israel or correct for the planet’s survival rather than their immediate geopolitical interests? A revolutionary shift in attention is needed a united shift of goalposts to Human Rights rather than allowing billionaires and Trillion dollar multinational corporations to determine divisive shareholder interests for profit.
Nearly 5,800 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since 7 October, according to the health ministry, including 2,360 children. Hundreds of people remain under the rubble of destroyed buildings.

Palestinian rights organizations said that on Tuesday, 60 armed squatters with clubs and handguns and stones went berserk as they attacked the small town, with unprecedented ferocity. It began when twenty masked individuals attacked a shepherd and slaughtered several of his lambs in front of his eyes and those of his two children. Then dozens of masked squatters joined the first group of attackers, all of them carrying batons, and they started throwing stones at the houses and slashed the water pipes of house after house. They then invaded the homes and broke up whatever was in them and beating the people inside. Several residents were injured, one in the head. Eyewitnesses told the human rights organizations that Israeli occupation troops stood by behind the attackers the whole time without stopping them. Instead, they fired tear gas canisters and rubber bullets at the Palestinian residents.
A member of an Iranian investigation team has told a local news outlet that Tel Aviv was most likely behind the attack on a Europe-bound Iranian container ship in the Mediterranean Sea earlier this week. “Considering the geographical location and the way the ship was targeted, one of the strong possibilities is that this terrorist operation was carried out by the Zionist regime (Israel),” an unnamed investigator told the Nournews agency. Several containers on the deck of the Shahr-e Kord vessel were hit with high-explosive objects. The damage they suffered indicates that the Iranian ship could have been targeted by an aerial vehicle, the expert pointed out. The attack on a commercial vessel travelling through the Mediterranean to Europe took place on Wednesday. There were no casualties, and the crew swiftly extinguished the small fire in the hull it caused.
