"Former #USA diplomat Hala Rharrit said she documented images coming out of #Gaza for the State Department – “I would show the complicity that was indisputable, fragments of U.S. bombs next to massacres of mostly children ... it's overwhelmingly children. I would show images of children that were starved to death. I was berated, don't put that image in there." Three months into the war Rharrit was told her reports were no longer needed.”

"It is a great shame that Ireland is a special case, but the shame is not Ireland’s. That our country – its people, and its political establishment – is making its voice heard above the deafening silence of most other western nations is something of which we can, for now, be proud."

One of the things that struck me when I visited Yad Vashem, the Holocaust museum in Jerusalem, was the walls and walls of photos of people and descriptions of their roles in the genocide. So many getting up in the morning to go to mundane jobs in the service of exterminating people.

If you call this a holocaust the moderators of this instance will delete your post for "holocaust inversion" so I won't do that. It's pretty bad though.

There appears to be a mainstream news blackout on this story in North America. Amazing.

Wikipedia has a new page on the genocide in Gaza. It's well annotated and a good resource:

"Has there ever been a time in our history when our nation is knowingly providing arms to another nation using those weapons to kill children, women, innocent people and target the press, doctors and medical workers? And policies enabling this are supported it seems by both candidates? Why are organizations like reporters for the freedom of the press or committee to protect journalist not speaking out?"

Count Smirkula, with his mirthful glee will go down as one of the most disgusting characters of this genocide.

@DropBear @israel @palestine

I'm critical of Harris, as I have been with Biden, because she is second in command of a government that is funding, arming, participating in and enabling a genocide.

I don't care what gender, color she is or what party she belongs to. It's not a team sport to me.

She is running for president of the United States and has said there will be no change of policy regarding the genocide. If you don't understand why people are critical of her I can't help you.

Kamala Harris is a war criminal conducting a holocaust. She belongs in jail in the Hague not in the White House.

@DropBear

The fact Trump is a sociopath rapist doesn't make my statement any less true.

@DropBear

No, you assumed that.

My choice would be that she would rot in prison in the Hague for the rest of her life.

@DropBear

If it was my responsibility, which it isn't, she would definitely be in the Hague where war criminals belong.

@DropBear

It wouldn't be superficial, it would be justice. Is genocide a crime for which the perpetrators should be prosecuted or not?

@DropBear

Is genocide a serious crime or not? I've seen enough videos of shredded children over the past year to know that yes of course it's justice. She wouldn't be the only one on trial in the Hague if I had the power. Biden, Blinken, Hochstein, Count Smirkula would all be there as well for a start.

Unfortunately, the only accountability will likely be losing the election for which the American people will suffer the consequences of this admin's depravity.

CBS Sunday Morning:

- When you say civilians do you mean children?
- Almost exclusively children I've never seen that before. I've seen more incinerated children than I've seen in my lifetime combined.
...
- You are saying children in Gaza are being shot by snipers?
- Definitively. They are dead center shots.
...
- "I didn't believe that this many children could be admitted to a single hospital with gunshot wounds to the head."
