The US will be remembered for this.

All of it.

Germany and Great Britain, the entire West has Aided and Supplied these Murderers for almost Two ------- Years.

Israel is a Mad Dog. Lawless and Militaristic.

Like America itself.

They are joined at the Hip.

Any Accountability must Be for both Regimes.

And Will Be.

Move the UN from usa purview and revamp the security council voting.

Two nations shouldn't be able to hold up the world's progress.

At the present rate of attrition, the IDF will probably have killed close to 70,000 Palestinians before the end of the year, the vast majority of them women and children. The IDF has so far murdered slightly over 65,000. By contrast, it took the North Vietnamese Army and Viet Cong guerillas 20 years (~1955 to 1975) to kill 58,281 of our brave young men and women fighting in SE Asia. The IDF is much more efficient than our previous adversaries.

And the nefarious Trumpf junta has revoked visas for Palestinians, so Pres. Abbas won't be able to address UNGA in person. He will speak to the UN by video: www.msn.com

Too bad the UN doesn't convene in Geneva. Neutral Switzerland which wouldn't revoke the visas of anybody: www.un.org

The Gazans are locked down in an Outdoor Prison.

They aren't combatants, they are Victims.

Israel isn't Waging War, they are Slaughtering defenseless civilians Cuz' the IDF is no match for Hamas in anything like a Fair Fight and the Israelis need to kill to feel Strong and in Control.

They are Punks with tactical gear.

Killers who see anyone not Tribe as Subhuman.

Israel truly is the Nazis of our Times.

Even worse because they are So Proud of their Murders.

Like the Cowards they are.

On 4 March 2025 USSECSTATE Marco Rubella bypassed Congress to expedite $4bn of American taxpayer money to the IDF.

Gaza is a 'Free Fire Zone' (FFZ) that we are paying for. Moreover, the Fourth Reich will be hosting FIFA 2026 and the 2028 Summer Olympiad in California. When do the boycotts begin?

How many people has the IDF murdered in Palestine since October 7th?

I hope I am misunderstanding that you believe 65,000?

If so, you are off by a factor of 10 - the total is over 680,000.

Trump is waiting for the Israelis to finish demolishing the rest of the Gaza Strip, that way Jared and his Saudi investors won't have to spend as much money prepping the site before they turn it into a world class Mediterranean Resort.

We went from a strong defender against Nazi fascism, in WWII, to being a country that supports the murderous tactics of a, yes, fascist regime. Israel used ethnic cleansing to establish its country, and clearly is intent on doing the same for the entirety of Gaza and perhaps the West Bank as well.
One thing Israel's conduct is doing is showing just how powerless the present day UN is. I think the great majority of nations should abandon the UN in New York and establish a new UN, perhaps in Geneva, one without any country having veto, with all nations having to belong to the ICC.
Yeah, won't happen, the super rich like things the way they are...being able to kill at will.

Who woulda ever thought that Israel would ever become the Nazis who exterminated so many of them?

Now I just wonder if they would stop even at 6 million dead.

So basically, the USA government official position is that Israel should continue to kill Palestinians.
Wow.

Good. No cease fire until all of the hostages are released.

HAMAS ma have made the calculation that only the hostages save them from Trump-ordered B-52 carpet bombing.

Who shoots at hostages to save them? Seems dumb.

It is genocide, it is murderous apartheid, it is...what America was founded on, the very rich and powerful "manifest destiny" their way to killing and looting and then blaming the victims. Imperialism, thy name has pretty much always been America...and of course, Israel.
One of the major reasons the International Criminal Court is not the law of the planet is because countries like Israel and America still have plans for extralegal appropriation of land.
