In Gaza, "every person, the first thing they want to tell me in English or Arabic is 'We need food,’" says UNICEF spokesperson James Elder. "They are saying that because their assumption is the world doesn’t know, because how would this be allowed to happen if the world knew?"

Biden quietly reversed the sanctions he put on 7 Israeli illegal settlers, removing the freeze on their accounts. As feckless as those sanctions were, they were still a step too far for the Zionist-in-Chief.

End-stage capitalism is when things really start to fall apart.

I'm referring to the total and complete lack of public debate in Israel about any of this. Try to get this to your head: for Israelis, the genocide is not happening. The war is not real. Even the low-intensity conflict with Hizbullah up north is not real. How can I explain something that doesn't exist? But it doesn't. Can you believe it?

No one argues about any of this, and no one weighs the pros and cons of any single part of it. It is not talked about. ...

I'm reposting here a disturbing and insightful thread by Israeli writer Alon Mizrahi. It's long but I urge you to read it in its entirety.

"As an Israeli in this dark disgusting inhuman time, there are many things I see and hear and can tell you about and are worthy of research and serious consideration, but there is one part of it that is so uncanny, so disheartening, so extraordinary, that I can hardly describe it, and you won't get it. Because it's so hard to believe, or conceptualize. ...

The disconnect between Leo Varadkar's progressive image and his unchanging neoliberal politics is at the core of much of the frustration felt by those who expected his arrival to usher in a more progressive current to his centre-right party, Fine Gael.

Representatives from Aish Hatorah synagogue in Toronto, Canada, insult a pro-Palestine man who registered for a #kellerwilliamsrealty seminar where stolen Palestinian land in illegal settlements in occupied West Bank is listed for sale, all with the help of Toronto police despite the sales being illegal under Canadian and international law.

Italian singer Ghali said "Stop the Genocide" during a music festival seen by over 13 mil people.

The Israeli ambassador complained about his "shameful message of hate" and that Ghali "should not have used the stage to say such 'provocative' things."

Ghali's response was clear: "What the ambassador said is awful. He's adding to the politics of terror where Italians are afraid they might lose their jobs, their reputations if they say 'Long Live Peace," which is absurd."

Is anyone really surprised? Israel says "Jump!" and Canada says "How high?"
