Israel continues to deliberately target residential buildings, hospitals, schools, bakeries, flour mills, water storage facilities and other public facilities. But they will get to pause occasionally over the next few days - like a rapist agreeing reluctantly to take a break occasionally. >6000 children were killed in the pointed genocidal campaign to drive Gazans to Sinai in order to steal the natural gas off the coast of Gaza. The western governments are still partners in the genocide even if they occasionally start to speak of "unacceptable level of civilian deaths" (sicking language for an ongoing genocide). Israel killed over 102 UN workers and 65 journalists to prevent the truth from coming out (largest number of Journalists murdered in any conflict since WWII). The two wars go on: A war of ethnic cleansing and genocide which is used to vent and give Israeli soldiers the psychological satisfaction of murdering civilians because they are losing the other war against the resistance.

There is an exchange of prisoners (as many as 150 Palestinian women and children will be released from Israeli gulags where they are mistreated) in exchange for 50 Israeli settlers. This could have been done weeks ago. It took lots of lobbying from families of the Israeli prisoners to pressure the fascist government that really did not care about Palestinian or Israeli lives (they even bombed and burned Israeli civilians on 7 October see previous message with links and proof). Also the genocidal regime was resistant to having pauses in its genocide (let alone a ceasefire). Now they will have pauses to reload and bomb more civilians. The US/Israel war on people will continue (and it is a joint war and not just because of the stream of US weapons- already Five US Delta forces soldiers were killed in Gaza as well as perhaps 300 Israeli soldiers over 10 days of the ground invasion). Over 10,000 Palestinian prisoners are still being tortured and starved in Israeli jails and the ethnic cleansing and genocide continues. But you cannot crush a people fighting for their freedom. Vietnam redux!

The Zionists gathered their (white/European) forces for a rally in Washington DC gathering as many as 40-50,000 but they had to pay people to attend ($250 per head) and it was a hate rally calling for continuing the genocide. Meanwhile millions are still rallying around the world. Those latter rallies calling to end the genocide and for ceasefire now are always mixed (Jews, Cristians, Muslims, Hindu and people of all religions and ethnical and national backgrounds).

Yes, there are tunnels under a hospital: Israel built them and so they knew where they are .youtube.com/watch?v=cVG7duZ-u2U

This is illegal by US law (Leahy amendment)

Israeli propaganda is bad- really bad. Corporate media fail to report that Israel's war on hospitals has nothing to do with Hamas. click here

see also a compilation of lies at ongaza.org under #9 especially on what happened on 7 October where Israel killed its own civilians and then blamed Hamas

PLEASE KEEP SPEAKING OUT and PRESSING GOVERNMENTS. Momentum is building and collectively we can turn this around. We must do this if we want an earth that is ruled bylaws not by colonial psychopaths who will not stop at stealing Palestine and occupying Washington DC... they have bigger ambitions. so..... Stay Human, keep Palestine alive, and keep fighting.We are the many they are the few

I'm an old Pogo fan. For some unknown reason I persist in outrage at Feudalism, as if human beings can do much better than this. Our old ways of life are obsolete and are killing us. Will the human race wake up in time? Stay (more...)
