Grinning Israeli War Vets Admit To R@ping & Murdering Palestinians

I suppose some barfly will have already posted a link to the BBC article, Israel Gaza: Checking Israel’s claim to have killed 10,000 Hamas fighters.
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-68387864
I would, however, like to draw attention to the importance of the graph that compares the number of men killed versus women and children in the three Gaza wars: 2008-09, 2014, 2023-to date. It shows at a glance the current willingness to deliberately target civilians.
The fatality data « shows a sharp increase in the proportion of women and children among the dead compared with previous wars. ». « Nearly half of Gaza’s population is under 18 and about 44% of the fatalities of war are also children, according to the Gaza authorities’ 29 February demographic data. » The director of the Every Casualty Counts organisation Ms Rachel Taylor « said the fact that the deaths closely track the demographics of the general population “indicates indiscriminate killing”.»

Every USUKIS colonial army in history has and is now raping Muslim women.
But Islam refuses to talk about it in ordervto deny the perpetrators the satisfaction of publicising this outrage.
Like eating pork when you are starving, without opposing Allah’s commands , not a shred of shame accrues to the victims. The perpetrators oppose Allah but they can’t hurt Allah. They are in fact toasting themselves in eternity in the fire of Jahannam, if they knew the reality of the crime.
Lassa ba’da kufri dhamb.
Their worst crime is their hatred of Allah, and every other crime is lesses than that because God put the inner awareness of the Creator into the heart of every single creature thing.
People will go to the Fire for not loving , fearing and worshipping their Creator. But you know that.

Disagree vehemently. With vanishingly few exceptions they are fleeing out of opportunism, not out of disgust with a regime that has been committing atrocities — let’s face it — all their lives.
Let them stay and suffer the consequences. The last thing the RoW needs is an influx of irredentist Zionists spoiling for revenge.

I disagree: Russia missiles took out 8 CIA officers at one of their ‘secret camps’ the day before yesterday 40 klicks south of Kharkov.
The Kremlin seemingly are out of touch such that they lull their opponents to be careless; they did the same thing to 50 or so French officers last month.

Yes, ld, there are to be several big protests this Monday in USA. 🙂 In fact, big protests have been noted by several current event commentators (Ritter, Blumenthal, etc.) of really shaking the nerves of established elites. Protests stress control mechanisms — which include media — and gathers large numbers who can connect and organize without as much of Power’s infiltration, tracking, and control.

In my opinion the main driver behind this genocide is Biden’s Roman Catholic belief that Islam is going to take its place, and this is a Roman Catholic Crusade against Islam.

1. Biden has been vocal that he “is a zionist.” I’m trying to think of a time when he made a similar, bold declaration that he is a committed Roman Catholic.
2. Because if Biden WERE a committed Roman Catholic as zealously as he is zionist, then he would know and practice the statements in Vatican documents, speeches and letters popes from John XXII, Paul VI to Francis, have made throughout Biden’s career (~45 statements between 1964 – 2013), that Roman Catholicism respects and reveres Islam:

About S Arabia.
You must know that the Saudis’ think of themselves as the “Keepers” of Mecca (and Medina) and as such, Saudi Arabia is the “holy Land”. As I was once told; “Once you have left Paradise, you can never go back”. Nowadays, I am not sure that they are so dogmatic as they proudly claim over 100 million visitors (Tourists no less).
The sepration between the power, politics and the religious seems to have gone in favour of the former. So MbS has money – as all revenue goes to him first and is then distributed downwards (in olden days, non distribution was a reason for rapid “shortening” by means of a knife). He is also ambitious as everyone knows and is prepared to invest in a remarkable future (Neom, Medain Sallah (Al Ulla) as tourist attractions etc.
What I am leading up to, is that he clearly sees SA as the centre of the Arabic Middle East, not just a petrol tank. (Qatar and the Emirates have similar ideas but less overall resources. Land and minerals etc)
Under no circumstances do I think he sees SA as LESS than Israel, and it is therefore up to Israel to make the advances towards some form of Peace first. For HIM to chose or not. His forsaken war with Yemen, (for the benefit of westerners, for the OIl/Gas) has cost a lot and I reckon that it has been put on “hold”. Oil prces go up as ships go down in the Bab al-Mandeb. So the other Oil producers are not getting involved (on the side of the US) as it would spoil a profitable occasion. This, in spite of, or as well as, the feelings of their own populations.
Israel and the US assume that reconstruction in Gaza etc will happily be paid for by SA: Just wishful thinking. MbS will want something in return. Neom, The super-linear “city” is to be placed where it can connect to Egypt and miss Israel and Jordan. Plus SA talks to China and has quite a lot of connections to BRICS+ nad all stations East.
So your following paragraph appears to be rather retrograde, as MbS is simply waiting, like the Chinese, for the inevitable chaos of the US (and Zionists behind) as all their contradictions cumulate to give them both a good kick up the posterior.

This whitewash of China reconciling Saudi Arabia and Iran doesn’t make sense. Either Saudi Arabia and Iran are the axis of Assistance together peacefully awaiting the birth of Greater Israel, which my interpretation , Or, Saudi Arabia isn’t able to afford mercenaries to attack Israel because it has privatised its oil, and Sunni Muslims still refuse to take up Iran’s offer of every type of assistance for them to attack Israel, in spite of Chinese diplomacy.

The jews are beginning to choke on their own lies :
“Senior members of the Israeli occupation military’s Spokesperson’s Unit have resigned, including high-ranking spokesperson Daniel Hagari, Israeli media reported on Sunday.
“The second-in-command in Daniel Hagari’s team, Moran Katz, along with many high-ranking officials have submitted their resignations in light of the Gaza conflict,” Israeli Channel 14 reported.
“The retiring officials also include Gen. Richard Heshit, the Israeli army’s spokesperson for foreign media affairs,” the Israeli channel added.”

What we are seeing in ‘israeli’ society now, this massive celebration of Moloch, this mass child sacrifice to Baal, is the fulfilment of prophecy:

REVELATION 13:5–10
“[The beast] was allowed to make war on the saints and to conquer them. And authority was given it over every tribe and people and language and nation, and all who dwell on earth will worship it, everyone whose name has not been written before the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who was slain” (vv. 7–8).

… And in Islamic eschatology:

And when the Word is fulfilled against them (the unjust), we shall produce from the earth a beast to (face) them: He will speak to them, for that mankind did not believe with assurance in Our Signs.
— Quran Al-Naml (The Ant):82

The Beast, interpreted not as a machine, or kingdom or a man, but the inate, bestial nature of a people, arises from imprisonment within the “earth” of human morality to shed the blood of innocents.

Gaza ceasefire talks collapsing:
https://ca.news.yahoo.com/latest-israeli-cabinet-member-meets-112947053.html

The Canadian Press
Mon, March 4, 2024 at 11:49 a.m. EST·8 min read
A top member of Israel’s wartime Cabinet is meeting with U.S. officials in Washington while talks are underway in Egypt to broker a cease-fire in Gaza before the Muslim holy month of Ramadan begins next week.
Benny Gantz, a centrist political rival of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, traveled for talks with several senior U.S. administration officials this week.
An official from Netanyahu’s far-right Likud party said Gantz did not have approval from the prime minister for his meetings in Washington and that Netanyahu gave the Cabinet official a “tough talk” — underscoring the widening crack within Israel’s wartime leadership nearly six months into the Israel-Hamas war.
Israel did not send a delegation to cease-fire talks in Cairo because it is waiting for answers from Hamas on two questions, according to an Israeli official. Israeli media reported that the government is waiting to learn which of the hostages seized by Hamas in an Oct. 7 attack are alive and how many Palestinian prisoners Hamas seeks in exchange for each.

So the Israelis are torching the talks. Good for several reasons:
(1) The talks are BS; fake, garbage. An excuse for Western and Arab leaders to look like they’re doing something about the genocide, when only the Houthis are doing anything.
(2) Pudding-for-brains will probably shit his pants during the SOTU speech. He really wanted a fake, shit-stain agreement to give him cover. Expect him to let out a huge fart and wet-stain his own drawers Tuesday evening.
(3)Nutanyahoo will be emboldened to go for the kill. This is his final act that will lead to his being convicted as a war criminal, eventually.

Remember when Israel said that 10 or 12 Hamas fighters worked for UNWRA, then they said it was maybe 7 or 8, but these are really bad people, so a whole bunch of countries cut off their funding for UNWRA without seeing any proof? Today, Israel’s military spokesperson – the guy you always want to listen to if you seek truth in advertising – has a new number.
Apparently, Israel is dismayed that some countries have reinstated their funding and that people are protesting this shit, so today, Israel’s military spokesperson – the guy you always want to listen to if you seek truth in advertising – has a new number.
He says that, for sure, UNWRA in Gaza (not to be conflated with the international group as a whole – this is in Gaza alone) has over 450 employees who are military operatives from Hamas and various terrorist groups. (To clarify, that is FOUR HUNDRED AND FIFTY, for those of you keeping track at home.)
He has informed the US of this number. He also said that he has shared this “information” [sic] as well as further “intelligence” [sic] with Israel’s international partners (wait, didn’t he already mention the US?) and with the UN.
And also, neener, neener. I’m surprised he was able to keep a straight face while he made this announcement. He must have gone to the finance minister for advice, who told him that with compound interest to the level of usury being legal and all, the numbers can be altered in widely misunderstood, but still relatively mathematical, ways.

Thanks for your reply. Apologises for Saudi Arabia real me that USUKIS forced SA to fund Al Qaida and Islamic State terrorism. All we know is that King Salman was fed up with the West for allowing Russia to defeat Al Qaida in Syria, and for not using nukes . Nobody really understands nukes in the Middle East.
What SA was paying for with its terrorists was control of Damascus so that they could greet ‘Eesa alaihi Salaam when he arrives back. What kind of Islam thinks that Allah gives out invitations to terrorists? Nuts !
The kind of zislam that pays USUKIS to look after Islam’s interests has got to be somewhat muddled, if not completely bonkers. SA is still giving interviews with its ambassador to the BBC, talking tripe about normalising relations with Israel after three months of Israel’s genocide.
No Muslim country that is attached to USUKIS by the dreams of Western lifestyles, like Turkiye or the jackboot on its neck like Pakistan will ever fight against Israel.
No Christian country of any affiliation will fight against Israel’s Crusade.
When the Resustance stirs, that’s when we get to find out why the US keeps sending bombs to Israel.
First we had to see if Israel’s allies would resist and now that we know 100% they neither of them will challenge the beast, we have to trust in Allah, the Lord of the Throne of Omnipotence.

Mass resignations among senior IOF Spox Unit officials: Israeli media
The Israeli Channel 14 suggests the resignations reflect a state of disturbance within the Spokesperson’s Unit.
[,,] Channel 14 noted that many officials in Hagari’s team have resigned and suggested that the resignations reflect a state of disturbance within the Unit, stemming from the Israeli officers’ protests regarding operational and personal matters.
According to the Israeli channel, among the resignees are the second man in Hagari’s team Colonel Butbul, Colonel Moran Katz, and the International Spokesperson for the Israeli occupation military Lieutenant Richard Hecht.
The report noted that Hagari had been appointed as the spokesperson for the Israeli occupation military without having previously held any role in the Unit.
Earlier, Israeli media revealed that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s orders to prepare for a ground invasion in the Gazan city of Rafah had caused significant disagreements between him and Israeli military officials.
Israeli Channel 12’s political analyst, Yaron Avraham, mentioned that Netanyahu recently discussed the continuation of the military operation with Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi, revealing a disagreement over the occupation of Rafah.
Avraham noted that while Netanyahu pressures the military to find quick solutions, Halevi insists on securing favorable conditions, such as evacuating the area and coordinating with Egypt.

An Israeli military spokesperson accuses a law professor of being a “spokesperson for Hamas” after the professor highlights the dire situation in Gaza and sheds light on the Israeli blockade, which is exacerbating famine in northern Gaza, where Israeli forces are attempting to ethnically cleanse it.

Russia—-Highlights of article:
“Russia calls for reconsideration of UNRWA staff dismissal over Israel accusations — envoy
“UNRWA funding must be fully restored, otherwise the agency’s blackmailers will fully share the blame with Israel,” Russian Permanent Representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzya said”
We note that these staff members were immediately dismissed before any investigation was conducted, based solely on Israel’s allegations <...>. We call for a reconsideration of this step until all the circumstances of what happened are clarified,” he said.
The funding of the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) should be fully restored, otherwise those who are blackmailing the agency by refusing to provide financial aid will share the blame with the Israeli authorities for the consequences of such a decision, Nebenzya added.
“UNRWA funding must be fully restored, otherwise the agency’s blackmailers will fully share the blame with Israel for all the consequences of this inhumane step for the people of Gaza,” he said during a speech at the UN General Assembly.

There’s more to the story actually:
https://www.rt.com/news/593768-israel-recalls-un-ambassador-over-hamas-rape-report/
Some points lead me to understand UN isn’t going to open this can of worms for Israel or anyone else.
“Israel has recalled its ambassador to the UN after Secretary General Antonio Guterres declined to convene a Security Council hearing on allegations of rapes committed during the Hamas attacks of October 7, despite a report finding there were “reasonable grounds” to believe West Jerusalem’s claims.”
However, Patten added that at least two widely reported allegations of sexual violence were determined to be unfounded. UN spokeswoman Stephane Dujarric argued that Guterres supported Patten’s work and denied that he had done anything to “keep quiet” the envoy’s report.
In truth they’re gunning to get rid of Guterres. Just like you have in US… stupid Senator’s calling to leave Un or “not fund” UN. Guterres doesn’t care anymore. He’s gone in 2025.
Anyways, they huffed and puffed and recalled their ambassador… the “unfairness” of it all…

Thanks for (re)posting Yossi Gurvitz (R.I.P.): “When Israel Is Mighty”. He was an honest and insightful thinker and was deep and deeply in the minority of Israeli society. You got the sense that he thought it was bad luck he was born an Israeli.
Gideon Levy is a mensch too. The man has balls and cuts to the core of the b.s. I’m surprised he has been allowed to speak publically for so long. But the way things are headed in Israel, he may one day soon be silenced. The three reasons for Israelis living in peace with occupation is right-on. I lived there long enough to have witnessed everything he speaks of in that 7-minute piece linked here.

The US is as dry of spiritual nourishment as a parched forest about to burn. They still cling to the impossible hope that political Judaism will nourish them spiritually, when in reality Zionism is like searing wind and parched drought combined. Lies on lies.
One short chapter in the Qur’an, 95, refers to the fig and the olive of Syria and Palestine and Jordan, ( wa teeni wa zaytoun ), and also refers to Mount Sinai and Mecca, places where the prophets Moses, Jesus and Muhammad , peaces be on all of them.
These are the places where spiritual nourishment has been sent by Allah.
The message of this Chapter 95 is that those who hold fast to belief in Allah will survive the toughest of trials sent to them.
Therefore the US being humiliated by Israel commanding Biden to provide the weapons and political protection for Genocide, will appall all US citizens, but those who stick to belief in God will survive the whirlwind of remorse and accusations that will follow the Genocide and only the believers’ respect will be restored.
This is actime of Trial, for God to see what we’re made of. Arabic fitna.
In the Christian Lord’s Prayer the words ‘ lead us not into Temptation ‘
actually mean ‘ lead us not into the time of trial ‘. ‘ Deliver us from evil ‘ is self-explanatory. Gives us the spiritual resources to survive the time of trial.
Several posters on MoA are feeling the pressure. Faith in God is what we need to survive the period of trial.

Remember when Israel said that 10 or 12 Hamas fighters worked for UNWRA, then they said it was maybe 7 or 8, but these are really bad people, so a whole bunch of countries cut off their funding for UNWRA without seeing any proof? 
 
Apparently, Israel is dismayed that some countries have reinstated their funding and that people are protesting this shit, so today, Israel’s military spokesperson – the guy you always want to listen to if you seek truth in advertising – has a new number. 
He says that UNWRA in Gaza (not to be conflated with the international group as a whole – this is in Gaza alone) has over 450 employees who are military operatives from Hamas and various terrorist groups.   (To clarify, that is FOUR HUNDRED AND FIFTY, for those of you keeping track at home.)
He has informed the US of this number.  He also said that he has shared this “information” [sic] as well as further “intelligence” [sic] with Israel’s international partners (wait, didn’t he already mention the US?) and with the UN.
I’m surprised he was able to keep a straight face while he made this announcement.  He must have gone to the finance minister for advice, who told him that with compound interest to the level of usury being legal and all, the numbers can be altered in widely misunderstood, but still relatively mathematical, ways.

I’d like to correct you here.
The correct paradigm is not whether two wrongs make a right but:
An illegal occupier has no right to defense.
The “two wrongs” paradigm assumes there was a wrong to be righted by the occupier.
It also assumes that the occupier has any moral, or legal, standing with which to “right a wrong”.
Moreover, an occupier like ‘israel’ doesn’t have the moral foundation to even make sense of the admonishment that “two wrongs don’t make a right”.

A Uniparty has polarized structure. Which is a fancy way of saying people naturally form cliques and factions. I use the US only as the best example of interest. So the far right Democrats and Republicans. It’s always a dynamic. Families, corporate interests, PACs, lobbies. It’s a study in complexity.
In theory, once you have cohesive group (group?) it’s graph has tails, but more important, it is naturally tending to bifurcate. For example, the current elites always struggle to maintain their hold on an unpredictable proletariat.
I study, across the globe, the inevitable slide of a declining empire into dystopian fascism, or cataclysmic demise. I need methodologies that can be applied to leaders, countries, groups and ideologies. So a broad SPECTRAL analysis and database we will share in interweb.
So this world or ours is quite needy. Like a child developing, it needs love, protection, care and guidance.
It needs peace. We are peaceful, so the fascists can and will kill us at any time. We’re not in the way. Their arrogance allows for their downfall.
This is the ONLY time you can, and must, kill fascists.

It shows at a glance the current willingness to deliberately target civilians.
. . .
Posted by: Leuk | Mar 4 2024 13:42 utc | 104
=====
This “willingness” is not “current.”
This intention has been the plan since the early 1930s.
Read Ilan Pappe’s The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine, chapter 4, “Finalizing the Master Plan.” It is blood-curdling.
The Zionist state was founded by Eastern European and Russian psychopaths. These people were and are the most destructive people on earth. They build nothing—at least, nothing of beauty. They destroy the beauty that others have created.
The watchword was, and is, “The only good Palestinian is a dead or ‘cleansed’ Palestinian. And if the Palestinian individual owns fertile farmland that we covet and plan to steal, or a nice little business or citrus grove, so much the better. Along the way we will destroy everything that was beautiful in Palestine, both the physical and the cultural.”
The account in Pappe, chapter 4, of the exploding of house after house (usually at midnight, with families sleeping inside them), village after village, town after town, urban infrastructure, mosques —- it is really unbelievable. The Zionists kept a proud record of their crimes against the Palestinians. Where is the Nakba Museum in Warsaw, or Kiev (cf. Holocaust Museum in Berlin).
Palestinians were nice to the Jews who arrived there in the 19th and early 20th centuries and settled among them. But once the political Zionists arrived with their tihur, literally “cleansing,” program, these Jews turned on their hosts and got with the tihur program as an opportunity to grab their neighbors’ and hosts’ property. Never mind if the ersthwile neighbors were shot, exploded with TNT, raped, and driven out in the process.
Within Arab cultural values of the sanctity of the guest, this is an enormous moral crime—one that has scarcely been commented upon among the much larger panoply of Zionist criminality.

I was thinking of the concept of “symbolic violence,” because of course Gaza and then came across this article in the Guardian, about a exhibition relating to the Holocaust and the German painter Gerhard Richter. The Guardian article is here: https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2024/mar/05/painting-the-unpaintable-gerhard-richters-most-divisive-work-returns-to-auschwitz
A definition of Bourdieusian ‘violence’ here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbolic_power
By way of preface, doubtless perhaps somewhat rambling the following comments relate to the psychological utility of the concept of Bourdieusian ‘violence’ and the predictability of Israeli atrocity committals in Gaza, in terms of their enactment of symbolic violence on the wider world public and of that public’s response in turn, so that a dialectic (an utterly predictable one) develops between Israel and world, that is most likely to be to the material and symbolic or conceptual detriment of the Israeli state and indeed Judaism or Jewish people. Surely Israel’s leadership understand this, but yet they persist with an almost self-treasonous vehemence, if not perversity. The question is why?
The comment: What I find interesting is the possibility that Bourdieusian violence has, as it were, a dynamism all its own, though perhaps this is a given, as I must admit I haven’t read even remotely deeply into the subject. The aforesaid self-dynamism or self-propulsion of Bourdieusian ‘violence’ would, of course, in reality be a reflection and projection of the subject’s, but in any case it melds, highlights, and emphasizes the ostensible phenomena of symbolic violence, if one becomes of a mind to look for it, because of exposure to the concept of Bourdieusian ‘violence’ itself.
For example, I just read an article in the Guardian about the German painter Gerhard Richter’s Birkenau Cycle of paintings, which are definitionally about the worst forms of Nazi violence. But the paintings themselves are, unsurprisingly, controversial, not least because they were painted by a(n) (ethnic) German, such that he might be, however unwittingly so, accused of enacting symbolic violence by undertaking the subject per se, by the abstract method he used to represent it, etc., all within the operative context of the “power differential between social groups,” namely, in this case, the ethnic German painter on the one hand and, albeit abstractly, the represented victims, largely Jews and other minorities.
However, the point I would most like to emphasize, lest it be lost in too diffuse a verbiage, is the aforesaid seemingly autonomous and dynamic nature of this hypothesized Bourdieusian ‘violence,’ which becomes most manifest and dynamized when juxtaposed in the light of ‘reality itself,’ which becomes a sort of energizing diptych to the already completed and physically inert artifact of Richter’s cycle. To wit, who could doubt that the Birkenau cycle is fundamentally about violence, but definitionally about a particular historically well documented and attested (indeed photographed in medias res, such photographs forming the underlying literal canvas for Richter’s abstract paint strokes and strikes) form, event, and phenomenon of violence within the wider cycle of violence of the Second World War.
However in light of present ongoing events in any case it occurs to me not at all inverisimilitudinous that someone, perhaps young and college educated, shocked by the nature of the ongoing events in Gaza might read about the Birkenau cycle in the Guardian and project upon this memorial to one of the symbols and instances of some of the worst atrocities of the Second World War their own unwitting form of Bourdieusian or symbolic violence, namely a reflexive doubt regarding the very veracity of the event memorialized in the cycle, or perhaps, less ‘violently,’ an acute sense of the non-uniqueness of it, an acute sense of the dilution of its significance in light of ongoing global atrocities, a sense, at the very least, that the crimes of Birkenau are but a pale shadow, in importance and significance, to the ‘condensed symbol’ that Gaza has become and that the Israeli state has become a perfidious reenactor of the violence ostensibly being memorialized in the Birkenau Cycle to the point that the former’s actions cast doubt on the veracity of the historicity of Birkenau itself.
In other words, ‘Gaza’ may be activating among elite college educated students in the West, doubts about what is being memorialized in the Birkenau Cycle, doubts about the unicity and uniqueness of the historical phenomenon, about its positive or at least prophylactic symbolic utility, and perhaps even doubts, as said, about its very historicity. So a new subliminal system of Bourdieusian ‘violence’ may be not only in its cradle, but already crawling, not too far from ‘Bethlehem,’ in the psychic direction of a significant cohort of college educated, even elitely educated, students and graduates in the West, radicalized in a new variety or strain of Bourdieusian ‘violence’ specifically, acutely, quasi-uniquely as a result of the undeniably cataclysmic events in Gaza, which various recent generations in the West had up to now never been exposed to live, in the sense of contemporaneous with, nor so ubiquitously exposed to owing to the new communication technologies and because of the ‘addiction’ of recent generations to the aforesaid novel technologies, which in the looming nature and form of AI tech threaten to become yet more ‘addictive’ via their destabilizing saturation of most of the aforesaid in themselves already highly compulsive online communication technologies, in their particularities and as an ecosystem which is arguably already so pregnant with Bourdieusian ‘violence’ as to be almost inconceivable and inalienable from its fundamental ‘coding.’
So that Bourdieusian ‘violence’ as such, through the reification, manifestation and magnification of particularly anomalous proxy traumatic events, such as the war in Gaza, may represent something approaching unprecedented catalysts for the gestation and manifestation of new forms and cycles of symbolic violence outside its traditional confines on the extreme right or left, that is henceforth, mutatis mutandis, increasingly more frequently ‘infecting’ bourgeois college-bound students, including, and perhaps especially a not insignificant cohort of elite college-bound students, if for no other reason than that of their likely tendency to be political and geopolitical news and information ‘addicts,’ coupled with the alleged higher levels of ‘analyticality’ associated with higher intelligence or at least higher academic proficiency.

Snippets from press statement by Antony Blinken today

But throughout – including the original ceasefire that we were able to achieve last year that brought hostages home and created a week’s quiet, humanitarian assistance doubling during that time
[…]
The situation for children, for women, for men who are caught in this crossfire of Hamas’s making inside of Gaza is unacceptable and unsustainable.
[…]

Messenger boy for Israel’s war cabinet to the extreme.
