Prediction: Israel Will Bomb Gazans At Drop Sites For U.S. Aid
Is anyone in the White House understanding how destructive its position towards Israel is for the global reputation and standing of the United States?
The mighty U.S. is demonstrating that it is a hapless and helpless giant unable to control its west-Asian client state.
Biden authorizes aid drops into Gaza, as hostage deal remains in limbo - Washington Post, Mar 1 2024
President Biden on Friday authorized U.S. military airdrops of humanitarian aid to Gaza, reflecting his growing frustration with Israel’s military operations, the dire situation of more than 2 million Palestinians under siege inside the enclave and the failure of the United States and its negotiating partners to forge a deal between Israel and Hamas to stop the fighting.In addition to the airdrops, which officials said would begin within days, “we’re going to insist that Israel facilitate more trucks and more routes to get more and more people the help they need,” Biden told reporters gathered in the White House for his meeting with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.
“No excuses, because the truth is aid flowing to Gaza is nowhere nearly enough,” he said. “Innocent lives are on the line and children’s’ lives are on the line. … I won’t stand by, we won’t let up and we’re trying to pull out every stop we can to get more assistance in.”
How about finally stopping all aid - weapons, munitions, money, diplomatic cover - for Israel? The White House is not even considering that.
What will Israel do if and when the U.S. is dropping aid over Gaza?
It is obvious. Israel will bomb the drop sites as soon as starving Palestinians in Gaza come near to them.
As I have asserted before:
The Zionist occupation forces send food into the northern Gaza strip to then kill starving Palestinians who try to collect it.
Some readers might have thought that this was a claim too strong to make. It was not and is not as it is exactly what has been and is happening day after day:
Muhammad Shehada @muhammadshehad2 - 19:43 UTC · Mar 1, 2024Before yesterday's "Flour Massacre", the IDF has been shooting indiscriminately for WEEKS at starved Gazans awaiting aid trucks at the exact same spot, virtually every single day!
A 🧵of some of these incidents:
Feb 28: IDF soldiers take potshots at famished desperate Gazans
2\ Feb 27: A child shot in the abdomen by IDF soldiers at the Rasheed street while waiting for aid trucks
Starved Gazans go to that street everyday with the hope of encountering an aid truck coming in, the IDF sprays them with bullets EVERY SINGLE DAY
3\ Feb 26: IDF soldiers fire indiscriminately at starved Gazan crowds at the Rasheed street who came desperately looking for aid trucks
4\ Feb 25: a starved Gazan father shot in the abdomen by IDF soldiers at the Rasheed street while looking for food
His siblings found & rescued him before he bled to death on that street
His father gave this testimony on Feb 26
5\ Feb 24: the Red Crescent retrieves the bodies of two Gazans shot to death by IDF soldiers at the Rasheed street while desperately looking for food
The IDF shoots starving Gazans at that same spot (where the very very few aid trucks come from) every single day!
6\ Feb 23: A starved Gazan goes with his younger brother looking for food at the Rasheed street & returns with his brother in a bag on his back, shot by the IDF
7\ Feb 22: Al-Shifa hospital receives several Gazans wounded or killed by the IDF at the Rasheed street as they went desperately looking for food there
8\ Feb 19: IDF soldiers spraying bullets indiscriminately at starved Gazans at the Rasheed street as people came desperately looking for incoming food trucks
9\ Feb 18: A starved Gazan shot in the head by the IDF at the Rasheed street as he came looking for food.
His body is surrounded by the empty boxes of UN food packages
Again, this has been taking place virtually every single day for weeks in Northern Gaza; deliberate starvation
There is evidence in form of videos and pictures attached to each of the above tweets.
The killing of starving people why to collect flour and other food stuff for their loved ones is not the only abomination. All aid is controlled by Israel before it goes in. The most needed items are not being allowed at all:
CNN has [..] reviewed documents compiled by major participants in the humanitarian operation that list the items most frequently rejected by the Israelis. These include anesthetics and anesthesia machines, oxygen cylinders, ventilators and water filtration systems.Other items that have ended up in bureaucratic limbo include dates, sleeping bags, medicines to treat cancer, water purification tablets and maternity kits.
The Zionist concentration camp for Palestinians of Gaza has become an extermination camp.
There are thus sound reasons to believe that Israel will bomb the drop sites for U.S. aid as soon as Palestinians in Gaza come near to them.
And Joe Biden will do what after that?

Caitlin Johnstone's explanation from mid-February keeps recurring to me as we witness continual escalation to more and more grotesque atrocities. The pattern is not accidental, portending worse to come, because "Israel needs to be hated":
“It doesn’t seem like Israel is trying to be hated globally. It is actually what it’s doing,” Mizrahi writes. “It is intentionally airing its cruelty and barbarity so that it will remain closed up to the world, thus guaranteeing the continued rule of the paranoia camp.”
“Palestinians are just crash test dummies in this scenario,” he adds. “Their deaths are used to get people angry and Israel hated, so it becomes even more paranoid.”

Zionism is vitally nourished by hatred of Jews. This has always been the case, but the current paroxysm of "please hate me" madness looks insatiable, short of nuclear madness. That's my prediction of where the Jewish State is headed: impulsively self-destructive, consistent with current Israeli sentiments.

I think it is safe to say that the IDF does this for sport.
There is no military reason to snipe at civilians going for food. It's simply a huge sign that the IDF is so dehumanized that they get hard putting a bullet in the skull of a child.

The U.S. completed its first airdrop of humanitarian aid into Gaza this morning, with 3 military C130 planes dropping 66 pallets containing 38,000 meals, officials told NBC News. Aid organizations say that airdrops fall far short of meeting the desperate needs for food and supplies in the enclave, where many of the 2.2 million people are facing starvation.
Al Jazeera says it's more like 35,000 meals. There are more than 2 million people in Gaza. At this rate... well, need I say more?

The other side of the coin of 'please hate me' is 'we hate all of you'.
Which is the other side of the coin of 'we are the chosen superiors' which is the other side of the coin of 'you are the untermenschen'.
Those that spread largely fictional atrocity propaganda in the 40s actually perpetrated far worse to far many more millions in the 30s and their great grandchildren are doing it again today in Palestine. They are the enemy of all decent people everywhere.
Something must be done. An intervention is long overdue.
It not a coincidence that the two states creating the most death and mayhem are run by Jews. And both states, like spoiled brat dependents, bully their parents for ever more funds.
This must stop.
[email protected] needs to start calling spades spades, the occupation of Palestine is being enforced by Zionists, be they Christian, Jew, or Muslim. They all serve the same Cult of Mammon. So please, if possible, refrain from naming the Apartheid Regime that currently occupies Palestine a Jewish State, it is the Zionist State.

The Biden administration saying lives are on the line is their way of obfuscating that thousands of lives have already been lost due to Israel preventing aid getting through. A major crime against humanity is ongoing by them, and the Biden administration has enabled it, continues to enable it, refuses to stop enabling it, and even refuses to consider no longer enabling it.

Genocide Joe won't do anything to stop the massacre because he and the CON=gress are a 100% owned subsidiary of Izzyhell. Moreover, Genocide Joe and his fellow scoundrels: Pelosi, Schumer et al are bigly invested in Gaza real estate, Palestinian gas fields, fishing rights etc. The horrific extermination is just "collateral damage" in the way of the colonization. Not new at all. The difference is that it's being "televised" which may mean that the sane civilized nations can stop it. This is the standard game plan. Just ask the Caribs, the Inca, the Aztecs, the Mayan, the Seminoles, the Five Nations... shall I go on? And please do remember Killery about the death of Ghaddafi: "we came, we saw, he died, ha ha." These people are monsters.

On Gaza:
Two things that targeting aid do for the Zionists:
1) Gives them a chance to kill Hamas operatives, who they assume will come for the aid first.
2) Makes the general population want to flee Gaza, creating the conditions for a stampede into Egypt.
Both of these things will decrease the Palestinian population - a key Zionist goal.
We are witnessing an age were all is once again tolerable - including genocide!
If the Zionist succeed in genocide, what will be next??

Major news. Israel is going full fledged in supporting Ukraine now & is openly Russophobic. Israel accuses Russia of supporting Iran, Hezbollah, etc. This came out of pure nowhere when Israel used to be neutral for the past two years. Talk about isolation, and Israel being neutral to Russia was one of the few redeemable qualities it had. Now it has a total zero. Unipolar 110%.

Wtf is the dying empires fucked up master plan here? Is it to divert the emerging POLYCENTRIC states to make a direct intervention? So that it can be used to escalate a wider hot war? Force the physical destruction of the colonialists?
What the fuck the worlds populations are supposed to make of the largest economy in the world saying it is going to apply a bandaid to a gaping wound whilst the butcher stands right there wildly grinning happy that more work arrives for him to do!m
35,000 meals ! Dropped for 2 million people. What kind of meals? Poison?
Fucking . Air. Drops!!!
Really? The fucking Mediterranean Sea and beaches are RIGHT there!!
Egypt land border is right there with thousands of tricks and hundreds of thousands of soldiers!
No . That would be like opening your eyes and waking up in the morning.
It seems the daily torture and murder is to incite a physical response by those who Resist.
The POLYCENTRIC knows that and is holding them back - knowing that the 5+1 eyed Zionazi unipolarists are flailing at mid air , which as every person who has ever thrown a punch and missed is a sure way of damaging yourself … the faster better victory is guaranteed that way.
The Illegal apartheid Entity and its blood soaked raiments , great wide maddened eyes , shrieking and wailing with the bloodlust has gone one step beyond the Lord of the Flies ! They who have abandoned all norms of civilisation and humanity. Thieves , cannibals, ravenous beasts - who claim sanctity!
It accelerates down the path daily to its sudden dissolution as it by the ‘hand of god’ !
The madness of Zionazism will be remembered like the disappeared madness of human sacrifices to the gods! Surviving judaeo worshippers will always shun the faker wolves in sheepskin Talmudist Kahazarians. They will say god had destroyed them.

Koestler wrote that it's possible to contain two conflicting intentions a the same time. That it's possible to have the intention to assist someone at the same time as the intention to kill them.
Allahbsays in the Qur'an that it's not possible to have two hearts. This behaviour of killing the starving by the Jews is first and foremost a defiance of Allah, who expelled from Palestine.
Allah says in the Qur'an that the disbelievers hate Him first, and only secondarily the Muslims who believe in Him. Jewish hatred is towards God first and foremost, and this genocide has been thousands of years in the planning, ever since the Jews killed the Canaanites who were their own cousins from the line of Ishmaeel AS.
The genocide of their cousins is because they cannot hurt Allah.
But Allah gives them rope in their frenzy of exhilaration at beating God atvlast for expelling them from being Chosen to be custodians of Islam.
All Jews hate God for sending the last messenger AS as a descendant of Ishmaeel , their cousins, even though at the time of his arrival AS their tribes had moved to Medina awaiting and expecting him AS. When they saw he was an Arab many Jews still accepted Islam, because they accepted Allah's decision.
The Jews in Israel hate God first, then their Arab cousins as the only way to express their rejection of their Creator and Sustainer.

There is an excellent essay at thev Lodon Review of Books today by Pankaj Mishra.
It is one of the best efforts I have seen at putting the Holocaust in a context which includes its successor in Gaza.
Among other good things Mishra recalls the day that Begin- who planned the bombing of the King David Hotel one of the signature events of Israeli terrorism- gave a lesson in morality to a young and enthusiastic US Senator:
"...More consequentially, the secular-political religion of the Shoah and the over-identification with Israel since the 1970s has fatally distorted the foreign policy of Israel’s main sponsor, the US. In 1982, shortly before Reagan bluntly ordered Begin to cease his ‘holocaust’ in Lebanon, a young US senator who revered Elie Wiesel as his great teacher met the Israeli prime minister. In Begin’s own stunned account of the meeting, the senator commended the Israeli war effort and boasted that he would have gone further, even if it meant killing women and children. Begin himself was taken aback by the words of the future US president, Joe Biden. ‘No, sir,’ he insisted. ‘According to our values, it is forbidden to hurt women and children, even in war ... This is a yardstick of human civilisation, not to hurt civilians.’..."

Hello fellow humans!
We are watching our species kill others of our species in a highly degrading manner. These actions are representative of a society that is hierarchical in structure and that hierarchy is projected on the value of humans to others.
The unfortunate part is that those at the top of the hierarchical structure have been given agency in our world to enforce those different human values on all of us by deciding that some should die.
Thankfully, there are many humans that don't agree with this top/bottom social structure and are standing up to it. The haven't stopped its human perfidy yet but we are watching that occur.
I continue to posit that our shit show will "end" soon and hope the lessons we learn from it last our species for centuries.

Iraq Veteran Mike Prysner calls for U.S. military to refuse supporting Genocide;
……I have spoken to many service members in the active-duty military, Reserves and National Guard who are repulsed by their association with this, and therefore repulsed by the uniform they wear. There are for sure countless more I have never spoken to. I know at least one, an airman like Bushnell, who just filed for Conscientious Objector status over it. So many of them have been in the protests in solidarity with Palestine across the country and found solice
To those of you in uniform, there are many ways out, and it is far easier than you think. You can even do so publicly, in protest, and be more or less protected. You can walk away today. Every service member with a conscience should take those steps now.
Much more importantly than your own personal salvation, by doing so you can contribute to the mounting political crisis for Washington. The only thing that can stop this genocide is deepening that crisis—what more powerful turn of events than rebellion within the military?……

It shows us clearly just how deeply the Zionists have penetrated Washington, (Senate, House of Representatives) that Biden cannot tell Netanyahu to stop the genocide or even withdraw aid and support for his brutal IDF forces.
Instead Biden is reduced to drooping aid into Gaza, whilst also supplying the Zionists with weapons, aid logistics and US Special Forces troops.
The whole situation is absurd.
It was a former US POTUs who said that the likes of AIPAC should have been registered in the US as foreign agent, but it never happened and now they have control of the the USA political scene, to utter detriment of the Palestinian people, who must be near the end of their tethers, as the Zionist use just about every evil tactic to kill them as the world watches on in utter despair with tv channels broadcasting live the slaughter of civilians whilst we run around with our heads in our hands like something from Edvard Munch's painting Scream.

Actually this air dropping of food instead of delivering the food is inline with Israeli policy of dehumanization of Palestinians, and I don’t think the Zionist bastards will bomb them. The practice is throwing the food at them instead of delivering the food to them. Treat them like animals in throw the food to them.

The Western Allies organised the Berlin Airlift (German: Berliner Luftbrücke, lit. "Berlin Air Bridge") from 26 June 1948 to 30 September 1949 to carry supplies to the people of West Berlin, a difficult feat given the size of the city and the population.[1][2] American and British air forces flew over Berlin more than 250,000 times, dropping necessities such as fuel and food, with the original plan being to lift 3,475 tons of supplies daily. By the spring of 1949, that number was often met twofold, with the peak daily delivery totalling 12,941 tons.

'Please hate me' is the other side of the coin of 'we hate you' is the flip side of 'we are chosen-superior' is the flip side of 'all of you are untermenschen' is the flip of ‘you must do as we say’.
Moreover, their need to hate is fuelled by getting others to hate them. This, BTW, is the classic definition of the Hell Realm in Hindu-Buddhist cosmology.
Interesting how the two kinetic hot spots with regular massacres are both run by Jews who, like spoiled brat dependants, bully their parents for more funds, being of course unable to support themselves.
Something has to be done to stop what's happening in Gaza. Some sort of intervention. This is highly unlikely. But if the US has any sovereignty left (doubtful) then at the very least they should pull the plug on their unconditional support of Israel and Ukraine. At the very least. For there is no easier way to effect a cease fire in both situations.
Again, I've always seen Israel as imperialism's client in the middle east, but the way this genocide is playing out, I'm increasingly feeling that the relationship is the reverse and, at the end of the day, the US is just a pawn of Israel.
However, Biden admin constant statements of concern while supporting the genocide full tilt is really standard operating procedure for the democrats: appear concerned, virtuous and "of the people", while quietly doing the exact opposite. Anyone who points out the lie becomes "Putin's puppet", antisemitic, a white nationalist (even blacks!) or the extreme right.
They denounce racism while promoting it, denounce billionaires while doing everything to advance their interests, claim they want peace with Russia/China while constantly provoking them to war.
It reminds me of what Josephus wrote about Jewish zealots in ancient times: they'd quietly stab opponents or roman collaborators in a public market, then start screaming "murderer!" as though they had nothing to do with it, then disappear into the panicked crowd.

For all our shame, parachuting lifeaid has many advantages.
Not the first time to be used in war zone in needs.
1/ Dispersal, which makes Israel's strategy of organizing well-orchestrated chaos more difficult, so that people prefer the order of Tsahal to the chaos of Rrhamass.
2/ Dispersal allows the population to control distribution locally, and there's no doubt that the fighters will be supplied by the population.
3/ the quantity may in practice be sufficient
4/ the loss of control by Israel if other countries participate, particularly Arab countries.
5/ overflights by supply planes will ground Israeli aircraft, unless there is a risk of shooting down planes from other armies.
But it's true that countries like Egypt, Turkey or Algeria could send old cargoes loaded with humanitarian aid, with the intention of grounding them directly on Gaza shore.
Like all others, these countries have an obligation to prevent an ongoing genocide.
Forcing Israel to board or sink them would be a powerful legal act in the middle of Ramadan. And in the middle of ICJ ruling.
I see these air drops as a first loophole to be widened.

And Joe Biden will do what after that? ~b
Thanks for the report, I think this is a wrong reading b. It is all coordinated from the empire to begin with. Remember, “if Israel didn’t exist, we’d have to create it” ~genocide Joe
It is clear to me who the dog is, and who the tail is, and whom wags who.
Forget what the lobby is doing. If this was not the empire’s plan to begin with, it would stop immediately, as it may not favor the bottom line.
Many are getting rich off this atrocity. Those are the ones to be held to account.
What will Joe do? As he was previously, lead the empire.
Empires end with a bang, not a whimper. More wars in the coming future, you can be sure.
I ask again:
When is the report to ICJ due? From Rafah to northern Gaza, all these are genocidal acts.
What will the report contain? That we didn’t do it?

It is a collective shame for entire human-race to keep on watching helplessly as Israel continues its brutal destructive war of total extermination of a nation and people. The USA and Europe are actively aiding and abetting the genocide of the Palestanian people. The Arab world is pretending to be doing something, but doing nothing. Russia is contributing nothing concrete to stop the violence against the Palestanians. The sympathy of Inda and Japan is clearly with the fellow racist nation of Zionist settlers. China is interested only in cashing on the fall-out of the massacre. Like a vulture it is strategizing how to turn the carcass into business connection later. South Africa shows some gut, but the rest of the continent is only interested in their own bellies. Hats off to the Houthis of Yemen. The only people who could walk tall and straight at this time.

Biden will probably lose the coming vote no matter what he does. So why doesn't he go out a man?
If he continues supporting Israel's slaughter, he will lose in November: his Democratic base calls him Genocide Joe; they are furious with him.
If Biden forces Benjamin Netanyahu to stop, the Israel lobby in the US will go after him "hammer and tongs", as John Mearsheimer predicts: they will stop their funding of his campaign, they will fund opposing candidates instead, and they will attack him in the media. In short, he will lose.
So it seems that Biden will lose no matter what. If he's going down anyway, why doesn't he go down while doing the morally commendable thing? What are the chances that he'll do that?

Yemen
Hezbollah
I hope & wish nothing but death and destruction for the rest. Sincerely, a global plasma event that leaves only Yemen-South Africa-Palestinians & Hezbollah standing.
Fine to drone on about US Biden “not stopping” blah blah
But as far as I can see, who signed a defense contract with Hamas?? Anyone? Who exercise a R2P? Anyone?
Exactly what would US do if Turkey, Egypt & Lebanon signed a defense pact with Hamas?

The situation in Israel is probably very similar to what I experienced in Algeria, 62 years ago.
The "settlers" had often been there, like my family, for more than 3 generations. Most of them were not originally French, but Italian, Spanish, "German" (Elsass). They thought they were "at home".
For the Algerians, the FLN didn't win the war, but it did win the resistance.
The economic impact on France, the mental impact on millions of young Frenchmen sent to Algeria to kill and torture, the political impact with the growing isolation of France.
The last solution being to integrate the entire Muslim population and see 40 million Muslims flood into France, DeGaulle preferred separation and independence.
(DeGaulle said: if we do so, my village will not anymore known as "Colombey-les-deux-Églises" but "Colombey-les-deux-Mosquées")
Those who could had already left Algeria en masse( 1954 to 1958) , and it was the most miserable, those with no capital and no ties to the "homeland" who became the OAS, the party of scorched earth.
Having gone to extremes, the only option left was the suitcase or the coffin. They quickly remembers that Algeria was not theirs.

Of course, we have to admire the Yemenis, South Africa and Hezbollah. As well as all those who provide their sometimes more discreet but indispensable support.
Including, perhaps, those who seem to remain between two camps, but who, in the end, make it possible to find a way out.
It's often fatal to corner a wounded animal without leaving it a path to escape.
But we have to admire the Palestinian people, above all the people of Gaza. They prefer to die on their feet, by the hundreds, continuing despite the pain and hunger not to leave.
In 5 months, not a single attempt has been made by the mass of Gazans to flee. It is this flight that Israel wanted and would like.
This "passive" resistance will one day be in the history books in the same way as the Indian resistance led by Gandhi.

During the Napoleonic Wars, the Regency of Algiers had greatly benefited from trade in the Mediterranean, and of the massive imports of food by France, largely bought on credit. The Bourbon Restoration limited trading, while the Mediterranean was completely controlled by the British Royal Navy, and the rebuilding French Navy. The dey attempted to remedy the decrease of his revenues by increasing taxes, which was resisted by peasants, increasing instability in the country and leading to widespread piracy against shipping from Europe and the young United States of America. This in turn led to the First Barbary War and the Second Barbary War, which culminated in August 1816 when Lord Exmouth executed a naval bombardment of Algiers.French Colonialism in Algeria
French involvement in Algeria began in 1830 following the invasion of Algiers and was the pretext for a diplomatic incident, the Fan Affair of 1823, which led to a blockade and then further tensions erupted, resulting in the invasion. The result of the assault was a decisive French victory ending several centuries of Ottoman rule over Algiers, taking control of the region and the surrounding coastal communities. The invasion then evolved into the conquest of Algeria, which lasted until 1847 (Abun-Nasr, A history of the Maghrib in the Islamic period, 1987). The French takeover of Algeria was slow and gruelling with much bloodshed, for example, historian Ben Kiernan stated that the conquest from 1830 to 1875 killed around 825,000 indigenous Algerians. To add Kiernan also suggests that the French conquest of Algeria could be characterised as genocide as he notes the genocidal language and action taken against the native population...What History Says About Biden’s Power to Strike Back Against the Houthis
... For [hundreds of] years, the Barbary States of North Africa, comprising Morocco, Algiers, Tunis, and Tripoli, received steady "tributes"—in reality, bribes [sic]—from Britain, and France, to refrain from seizing their ships and crews. It worked well for the great powers [tl;dr "The Cromwellian Protectorate and the languages of empire"], which saw seized smaller rivals like Denmark or Italian city-states effectively excluded from Mediterranean trade [FALSE] , given their inability to match these tributes. When they were British colonies, the fledgling United States enjoyed the protection of their mother country Britain. But now, as a small, independent nation, the U.S. ran the risk of losing its ships to Barbary pirates States, who captured and enslaved U.S. crews throughout the 1780s and 1790s.File in "shared history" of latter-day first-world "settler colonialism" scholarshipUnder Washington and his immediate successor, John ["Sedition Act"] Adams, the U.S. shifted its policy several times, at one point appropriating $1.25 million annually—roughly one quarter of the national budget— to pay off Barbary pirates States' tolls, while also authorizing the construction of Naval ships capable of protecting American sailors....

If you treat Israel as an appendage of the Anglo-American empire, a fact that stems from the ideology of the imperial regime and the identification of a segment of its elite, then you do not get hampered by questions of Jewish control of America and similar nonsense. Hassan Nasrallah was able to point the real source of power (and therefore the problem we face here) to many Arabs who have adopted the ZOG narrative.
This is a class issue to a great extent with a chauvinist element as an addition. Zionism is now western supremacism, which is why the collective west supports Israel's hideous criminality. The only issue they have is that of public relations, which is why they pose as critics of Netanyahu.
This is a defining characteristic of the dominant faction of the neoliberal uniparty: the pseudo-progressives or better yet, the regressives. Virtue signalling is of the utmost importance for these disgusting hypocrites, which explains the adoption of woke identity politics by the establishment to a significant extent. But in the case of Israel, even that veneer is disappearing and they try to engage in damage control.
That last part is the reason that BBC went as far to expose the editing of the Flour massacre video by the IDF. THey support Israeli crimes, but they have to appear impartial and thus furiously clutch their pearls as they openly aid the genocide in Gaza.

Typical of Biden, Blinken and Sullivan's inability to use diplomacy, to coordinate with the other countries in the world whose many, many trucks are lined up outside the Egyptian portal to Gaza. More immediate change would require the following scenario: Collective pressure from all involved, in concert with making US Security Council vetoes contingent on the following: The resumption of aid distribution by UNWRA and the Red Crescent, with no Israeli oversight and pilfering of medications and medical equipment; with international medical personnel being allowed freedom of access and iron clad guarantees of safety when accessing food and services by starving/diseased/severely injured children, elders, women and all other civilian population in all parts of Gaza. If the US is so severely powerless as to be unable to bring about such a situation, enemies great and small, are taking note. Real power does not flow from military and nuclear threat, but the ability, through negotiations and soft power, to craft positive solutions from those crazies who see massacre and other atrocities as their only path to domination.

Agreed. There is an old market maxim: 'the market always goes where it can inflict the most pain'.
I think calling them 'Jewish' rather than 'Zionist' hits home better. Whatever makes Israelis uncomfortable is good. And whatever undermines support for Israel is good. And what supports Israel is not only high-level lobbying internationally but also widespread support from most Jews world wide and those who feel obliged or inspired to support Jews generally (lest they be perceived as dreaded anti-semites or because ‘Jesus says so’).
So calling Israel a Jewish project, not just a Zionist, project, puts far more pressure on those perpetrating ongoing murder, mayhem and injustice on the Palestinians. For that reason, for years I have been calling Israel 'the Jewish State' not the Zionist State, which latter gives too many of those involved a pass.

Agreed .... with a few worthy exception, that rotten compendium of cults calling itself religion is entirely to blame for the Zionist actions, even where atheist Zionists (is that possible?) are involved.
Should be kept in mind that for centuries *prior* to modern zionism, there was a lot of deception (of the two sets of books, but only the well-laundered set shown externally type) and hate-ideology concocted by the supposedly great Jewish religious leaders and academics.
Fanatical doctrines and diatribes still adulated and used, not dumped.
Odd how they can still get away with it, whereas any other religion or cult doing the same would nowadays be widely denounced and condemned.
