Israel approving nearly 2,000 new settlements while facing hundreds of documented human rights violations shows just how hollow “international law” has become in practice. The U.S. can’t call for stability in Gaza while actively enabling permanent occupation in the West Bank. These are not isolated policies — they’re parts of the same system of impunity.

Stop the techno-genecide

Even if there is a “ceasefire,” the occupation won’t end. From AI to cloud services to propaganda, Big Tech is fueling the genocide in Gaza. There's a letter-writing campaign to join. The letter itself is a bit wimpy. Please feel free to add or revise it before sending.

One wonders what kind of person can repeat such depraved lies. Either a demented true believer, or someone more cynical than can be comprehended.

Exclude Israel from the UN since they continue to ignore the voices of the rest of the world about the Illegality of their actions and plans. Since the majority of UN Nations support Palesrine, have dialogue and continue whatever UN programs chosen to assist them, with the permission of Palestinian, elected leaders.. A Peacekeeping and humanitarian aide program by the UN to deliver aide, oversee lawful local, rule by locally (district) elected officials and the presence of International peacekeepers should deter Israel from continued bombing and cutting off aide access, which should be through existing access routes through Egypt. If Israel insists on doing whatever they wish, it is time for the UN to exclude then from making decisions for other nations (Palestine). If Israel does not give illegally built settlements TO Palestine for housing its displaced ( by Israel) people, they opt out of choice to keep them and build others. The UN needs to rake possession and eject Jews from these homes and business, as PART or reparation to Palestinians. It is time for the UN to lead the world in this and other conflicts.

Call on Pope Leo XIV to do whatever it takes to save Gaza and stop the bombing, and end the starvation. Let him go to Gaza and stand with the suffering people who are being massacred by Israel and the Western posers. He can go to Gaza right now, and insist aid be allowed in. Then on to the West Bank to end the occupation and apartheid.

Is there anything more important in today's world than this?

Don't forget about Sudan. My God, has it always been this way & we've now become aware because of Social Media? No wonder they want to compromise that too. And I thought the Tiktok deal was done but then they said Xi didn't discuss it with the puppet that pretends to be the President. What gives?

More important than ever! The work that the Hind Rajab Foundation is doing will continue to be vital in tracking down, and bringing the culprits to justice. This is ongoing and something we should support, irrespective of any ‘ceasefire.’
