U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken is warning Israel that it risks destroying an eventual possibility for peace unless it acts swiftly to improve humanitarian conditions in Gaza for Palestinian civilians as it intensifies its war against Hamas.

      His comment is typical isreali bullshit propaganda. Block water,food and electricity and everything else then blame Palestinians and there freedom fighters for it. It defies logic and yet if it didn’t work they wouldn’t spew it everywhere.

          I seriously hope. They even started killing journalists to hide their atrocities and then blaming the other side . They don’t even try to hide their bullshiting anymore.

      I saw the (scumbag asshole) Israeli spokesman Mark Regev on the news, he literally tried to make out that the ambulances were Hamas. He said something like “We’ve seen them build infrastructure underneath hospitals, is it hard to believe they would use ambulances too?”

      Edit: The clip in question: https://youtu.be/m88g6POq-MA?t=1400

      Channel 4 have really been on point throughout all this. Asking difficult questions from the start, and I’ve even seen some things on their programs before I’ve seen them online (not that I have my finger right on the pulse, but still).

      Edit2: The whole segment is really worth a watch tbh. I saw bits I’d missed earlier when it was live. In particular, the observation that, while there have been large protests in Arab nations, they’re perhaps not as big as protests in the past and in fact there have in some cases been even larger protests in Western countries.

        This is like when the US would designate any fighting-age men they killed to be “enemy combatants.” If you define the enemy as anyone you kill, you can go ahead and kill anyone while claiming to hit only the enemy. In this case Israel seems only to need to say that the enemy might have been somewhere near the people it killed.
