Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Monday, June 01, 2026

IDF soldiers have admitted the Gaza cease-fire is phony. One IDF soldier reported his comrades relished the chance to shoot Palestinians who crossed " or came close to crossing " the so-called yellow line that divides the Gaza Strip into IDF controlled and Palestinian areas. Another said: "It was a jungle. After the ceasefire,' the order was: If someone crosses the line, you shoot them." Still another IDF troop confessed: "To call it a ceasefire is a joke."

  • BLUF: The Israelis and the US tricked Palestinian resistance fighters into laying down their weapons so the IDF could turn Gaza into a free-fire zone (FFZ) for their soldiers, some who actually enjoy the thought of killing Palestinians.

    "IDF soldiers cheered in celebration and congratulated one another after they attacked a vehicle of Palestinians driving near the Israeli-controlled part of the Gaza Strip, killing everyone inside."

    US-subsidized munitions continue killing Palestinians-- the Gaza death toll is now 72,987 human beings; 20,179 were children. The IDF have wounded or maimed 172,927 Palestinians since 7 Oct 2023.

    Dummkopf Trumpf's "BBB" recently knocked out 700,000 hungry American children from receiving SNAP benefits, but the US has billions of dollars to send Israel, a country that offers world class universal healthcare for its people.

    In 2025 alone, the peace-loving hardworking American taxpayer sent wealthy, nuclear-armed Israel $12 billion in military funding to murder Palestinian children; that amount could have instead paid for 1,982,488 American families with one year's free groceries.

    US midterm elections are scheduled for Tuesday 3 Nov 2026.

    Oh, do tell us, Coriolanus ...

    ... Why is all of your vitriol directed towards Democrats?

    Each and every post you make with your absurd red squares and its obvious damnation/condemnation of any/every candidate in the Democratic Party.

    Republicans, in your "telling," Coriolanus, is confined to Trumpf...

    ... but never a defense for candidates in the only viable political alternative in the USA, only condemnation for being "not perfect.".

    Why is that, Coriolanus ? ? ? ?
