Poll: "60% of Americans said they disapprove of Israel's military action". 32% approve. "52% said they see Netanyahu in a negative light - a significant shift from a year & a half ago" & the lowest stretching back to the 1990s. Most who approve of Netanyahu & his actions are older white Republican men.

Most Americans do not support Israel's war on Gaza, polling shows
There are also drastic gaps between Republican and Democrat attitudes to Israel's conduct in both Gaza and Iran

Starmer's dangerous message: "Palestinians can only have their basic rights if Israel allows it". Starmer's statement is conditional, "not a genuine step towards justice" or ending the brutality. It's a distraction, "obscuring the UK's complicity & absolving it of its historical & legal responsibilities." "While Gaza’s civilians starve under siege, the UK dangles a conditional promise of statehood."

Analysis: "Israel’s leaders said, explicitly, repeatedly, from the very beginning, that they are deliberately starving Gaza’s people." Western politicians "knew what was happening all along & are complicit." In April 2024, US govt depts told Biden that "Israel was deliberately blocking aid" - which legally required stopping the supply of weapons. Biden overruled it.

Israel has deliberately starved the people of Gaza. It couldn’t have done it without the west
The current hand-wringing by Keir Starmer and other western politicians is empty bluster. They knew what was happening all along, says Guardian col...

On Slimey Starmer's self-interested use of Palestinian statehood as a bargaining chip. Worth a watch even just to see a UK pollie twist himself in Orwellian knots to applaud him. Guests: Alan Duncan, UK Conservative MP Carne Ross, Fmr head, Middle East issues, UN Ahmed Najar, Palestinian analyst from Gaza

Why did the UK say it will recognise a Palestinian state?
UK urges Israel to take substantive steps to end the horror in Gaza and commit to negotiations on a two-state solution.

Under the "Uniting for Peace" resolution, the UN General Assembly can mandate an armed emergency force to Gaza. The UN General Assembly is not subject to veto. The US cannot stop it. This can work.

A very powerful interview with GHF whistleblower, Anthony Aguilar: "The [GHF] sites have not only *become* death traps. They were *designed* as death traps." "All four distribution locations were intentionally, deliberately constructed, planned & built in the middle of an active combat zone." The GHF sites are criminal. "I witnessed war crimes". "At the hands of the IDF & US contractors".

Analysis: "Britain forced a famine on Ireland, now it’s taking part in the Gaza genocide". "Britain helped exacerbate the Irish famine that happened 170 years ago." Grain, butter, fish & livestock were exported in vast quantities from Ireland, rather than being used to meet the Irish people's needs. Other countries starved or genocided by Britain include Bengal & Kenya. https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/david-cronin/britain-forced-famine-ireland-now-its-taking-part-gaza-genocide #UKStarvation #GazaGenocide #USPol #UKPol #EuroPol #BDS @palestine group . image
Anthony Aguilar, who resigned in disgust from GHF, says the starving child, Amir, "kissed his hand & thanked him before he was shot dead by Israeli forces". Amir got some scraps & then he was "shot at with pepper spray, tear gas, stun grenades & bullets.... The IDF are shooting into this crowd & Palestinians - civilians, human beings - are dropping to the ground, getting shot. And Amir was one of them." Video:
