Call this what it is. When over 72,000 people are reported dead, when The Lancet estimates the toll is far higher, and when the majority of the dead are women, children, and the elderly, the word “war” stops being an explanation and starts being an excuse. This is collective punishment on a scale the world will not be able to look away from forever.
And while the bombs continue to fall, Washington is reportedly planning a fortified 5,000-person military base inside Gaza and considering arming Israeli-backed gangs to police a shattered population. A “Board of Peace” meets in Washington with Israel at the table and no Palestinian representation. That isn’t peacebuilding—it’s imposing terms on the ruins.
A 19-year-old Palestinian-American is killed in the West Bank. Palestinian detainees are returned emaciated and abused. Journalists are killed and then posthumously honored. At what point does rhetorical “concern” turn into actual accountability?
If international law means anything, it must apply to allies as well as adversaries. If American citizenship means anything, it must trigger real consequences when Americans are killed. And if the word genocide is too uncomfortable for policymakers, the numbers themselves are not.
History is watching who speaks plainly—and who keeps providing cover.
It's not just the West Bank. It's Gaza. It's Lebanon where the Zionists have built 5 military bases and are spraying glyphosate to sterilize the agricultural land - poison it from supporting crops with this known nasty carcinogenic herbicide. It's Syria where the Zionists have annexed the Golan Heights and intruded further into Southern Syria. Google "Greater Israel" and see all the land claimed by the Zionists as a gift from God. I'd like to see who signed the deed.
""Congress to vote on Iran war: Reps. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) and Thomas Massie, (R-Ky.) are forcing a vote on Trump’s war with Iran by using the privileged procedure associated with the War Powers Act. The resolution is likely to come to the floor of the House next week, yet has been assiduously ignored by the mainstream press. It could end up becoming as politically consequential as the 2002 vote to authorize war in Iraq.""
The very first thought that popped into my head, and I wondered about, after reading this was... did Trump/admin already know/figure that this might happen, and that they actually (privately) hope that a vote will prevent him/them from attacking Iran... that way Trump gets to look really tough on the national/world stage, and then blame everything on Congress for not allowing him to attack... when perhaps he/they don't really want to attack Iran because they are all beginning to realize (perhaps thru private military briefings?) that it could possibly end up being disastrous in many ways to do so.
Of course, if the bombs start flying shortly that will put a very quick end to my wondering.

So-called "Board of Peace" is only a cover
Pushed by Netanyahu
For a de facto occupation, the Palestinians are not even seated
The ultimate goal is an ethnic cleansing and an Israeli colony
Trump is going after the UN he is just using the Palestinians as an excuse.
There is a feeling out there that Trumps "Board of Peace" could morph into the big bosses way of replacing the UN.
