A 20-year top-level advisor at the US State Dept resigned over the lies and denial in the (less than honest) recent report re. aid in Gaza.

A ceasefire, humanitarian aid, and the reconstruction of Gaza are not preconditions for ending violence against Palestinians​


Almost eight months into the Israeli genocide in Gaza which has murdered at least 40,000 Palestinians, enabled and funded by his administration, President Biden now claims that Israel has "offered" an "enduring" ceasefire and a prisoners exchange through a three-stage process. The proposal echoes what Palestinians agreed to roughly a month ago, which Israeli officials refused. In the intervening period, Israeli forces destroyed over 1000 homes in Jabalia refugee camp, killed over 2000 more Palestinians, and attacked safe zones in Rafah. The proposal also echoes our polling released last week: Americans have had enough, and we want to see both a lasting ceasefire and an end to unconditional military aid that abets this genocide of Palestinians.

The first six weeks include a complete ceasefire, the withdrawal of Israeli forces from all populated areas of Gaza, and the release of a number of Israeli hostages in exchange for some Palestinian prisoners held without charge. Palestinians would return to their homes where possible, and humanitarian assistance would be provided with 600 aid trucks entering Gaza daily—an amount that would finally meet the basic needs of starving Palestinians.

The second stage involves an exchange for the release of all remaining Israeli hostages and a "permanent cessation of hostilities." The third stage would commence major reconstruction in Gaza, with any remains of hostages who have died being returned to their families.

Despite Biden presenting this as an offer from Israel, Israeli media already quotes Israeli officials dismissing his speech as weak and unrealistic and they don’t seem to be in favor of the proposal. The Biden administration has pledged to ensure Netanyahu respects these terms, a commitment that would be significant if it proves true, and if the administration can deliver on it. However, only a total halt in weapons aid can guarantee this outcome.

We welcome a ceasefire, but we also demand it be unconditional, immediate, and permanent, not just an "enduring" one based on the prioritization of the Israeli regime’s status quo. Humanitarian aid is a legal and moral obligation—particularly for the Israeli regime as an occupying power. A ceasefire, humanitarian aid, and the reconstruction of Gaza are not bargaining chips or preconditions for the cessation of violence against starving Palestinians. No exchange can preclude Palestinians’ rights to self-determination. In fact, 1 in 5 potential Biden voters in swing states say a complete end to the siege of Gaza is a minimum as a starting point for lasting peace—and to secure their votes in November.

Addressing the catastrophic, Israeli-made humanitarian crisis in Gaza must happen regardless of Israel's approval or assessment. An “enduring” peace requires addressing the root cause of conflict and instability in the region: the Israeli occupation and U.S. complicity.

We welcome future efforts by the Biden administration to apply the necessary pressure on the Netanyahu government to end the suffering, ensure a prisoner exchange, and above all, end its occupation and repression of Palestinians.

In solidarity,

The Blood-Red Sunset of the West​

by Manlio Dinucci
Enraged, the West rejects Russia and pushes it into the arms of China. Although culturally very distant from each other, the two countries are nevertheless united in a common experience vis-a-vis their adversary. Both have been subjected to the relentless and continuing strategies of “Divide and Conquer”.

Can you present some grounded critiquing of their statements re. the topics at hand?
I'll share thoughts on NF because they're better founded, only learned who AS was maybe a week ago.

I doubt NF's sincerity. Whatever he's doing, I don't think it is solidarity. I think he is animated by some private grievance or injury or injustice, and I doubt that it is justice he seeks to realize but retribution. I think he possesses some species of antisemitism, or rather antisemitism is a thing he does. This is merely my opinion.

I don't see that. I see genuine disgust or even quiet outrage at the continuing crimes committed against Palestine that the mainstream accounts have seemed to leave out of their narratives for WAY too many years..."Jews good, holy, and victims, Palestinians animals and terrorists."

And that simplistic, racist and outright dishonest portrayal has gone on for MANY, MANY years.

NF has a deserved outrage, however thinly veneered on the outside. His truths make many apologists uncomfortable, but the facts in his presentations are there to be confirmed or disproven, and I've seen far more confirmation of his reports and debates, and little to no disproving. The fact that doesn't always come with a lot of frosting on it I think simply relates to the twisting of Judaism that the Nationalist Zionists have engaged in since about 1946.

This by itself proves nothing, but it does give me pause and reason to doubt his anti-racist bona fides

Yep, seen it before, posted by you. Tells me he had a beef with his neighbors involving unreasonable sound, and??

In re. to the pertinent contents and his allegations, historical or current, involving Israel's crimes, where have his claims been disproven?

And for those new to the game, NF is Jewish, and born to holocaust-surviving parents.

And... his conduct as memorialized by his filing makes me doubt that his claim of anti-racism is sincere. I doubt that he is in fact acting out of solidarity, but rather something else. This is my opinion.
