Middle East War Expands, page-2586

The West Bank:

The fate of Gaza will soon be the fate of the West Bank.

There is no way Israel would attempt ethnic cleansing of The Strip while leaving the West Bank untouched for years or decades more.

It's an all or nothing proposition.

Once (If?) the Gazan population has been eradicated (perhaps even before the job is done), the IDF having proven that it can commit genocide without consequence, will surely sweep on to repeat this 'success' in the West Bank.

I hope every man, woman and child in the W.B understands this.

Being "quiet" will not save you.
They intend to annihilate you.
You won't be allowed to leave.
You won't be allowed to kneel.
You will only be given spades.
And told to bury yourselves ...

……. ⚡️- Netanyahu: "The war in Gaza has one of the lowest combatants to non-combatant casualties in the history of urban warfare”…….

Reminds me of this paragraph by Chris Hedges the NYTs Senior Israel correspondence for like 10 years:

The brazenness of Israeli lies stunned those of us who reported from Gaza. It did not matter if we had seen the Israeli attack, including the shooting of unarmed Palestinians. It did not matter how many witnesses we interviewed. It did not matter what photographic and forensic evidence we obtained. Israel lied. Small lies. Big lies. Huge lies. These lies came reflexively and instantly from the Israeli military, Israeli politicians and Israeli media. They were amplified by Israel’s well-oiled propaganda machine and repeated with a cloying sincerity on international news outlets.

Israel engages in the kinds of jaw-dropping lies that characterize despotic regimes. It does not deform the truth, it inverts it. It paints a picture that is diametrically opposed to reality. Those of us who have covered the occupied territories have run into Israel’s Alice-in-Wonderland narratives, which we dutifully insert into our stories — required under the rules of American journalism — although we know they are untrue.

You couldn’t ask for a better example of everything Washington stands for: Both houses of Congress rising to feverishly applaud one of history’s worst genocidal monsters dozens of times as he lies over and over again, writes Caitlin Johnstone.

This disgusting episode exhibited by our Congressional lap dogs yesterday is proof that bribery (campaign donations) completely controls our politicians in the US (and all so-called Western "democracies"). A two-party political system that receives its political donations from such monsters as Israel, large corporations, and big Banks & financial institutions, is in no way a "democracy."

America needs to wake up to the real ramifications of bourgeois "democracy." We are living in the time of our monsters, just as the German working class did in the 1930's and early 1940's. When politicians are owned by big money, they no longer serve our interest whatsoever.
