Full text of the resignation letter of Lily Greenberg Call, the first Jewish Biden appointee to resign over the war in Gaza:
Dear Secretary Haaland,
I joined the Biden Administration because I believe in fighting for a better America, for a future where Americans can thrive: one with economic prosperity, a healthy planet, and equal rights for all people. I have dedicated my career to candidates who I believed would further this vision.

"This is not the life of any normal human being. There is nothing: no water, no food, no health care, not even a toilet. My children ask me if they could just have potatoes but we have no money now. All we have is canned food distributed [by the United Nations],” she said.
“My children have already had flu, and fevers, and hepatitis. They are weak now, and there aren’t enough antibiotics, so I’m very worried.”

- #Israel is carrying out #genocide in #Gaza.
- Context! You must go back… all the way to October 7.
- Sure, let’s go back: let’s go back 76 years to May 15, 1948, to the #Nakba; the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people where 750,000 people were “expelled from their homes or made to flee, at first by Zionist paramilitaries through various violent means, and after the establishment of the State of Israel, by the Israel Defense Forces.” (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nakba)
- No, no, not like that.

Joe Biden continues to fully support the Gaza genocide because he does not believe it will hurt him politically, and because he has no empathy for the Palestinians. This is the same arrogance that brought down LBJ over the Vietnam war.

Israeli children, likely belonging to communities of settlers and religious-messianic Jews, having fun destroying aid supplies meant for Gaza.
Useful context is that one of the most common one-liners I hear from Israelis, to this day, is: "the conflict will end when they stop teaching their children to hate us".

Analysis
"Israel’s Willing Executioners"
"Hundreds of thousands of people are being forced to flee, once again, after more than half of Gaza's population took sanctuary in the border town of Rafah. This is part of Israel's sadistic playbook.
"Run, the Israelis demand, run for your lives. Run from Rafah the way you ran from Gaza City..from Jabalia..from Deir al-Balah..from Beit Hanoun..Bani Suheila..Khan Yunis. Run or we will kill you."
The student protest movement against Israel's genocide, apartheid and occupation in Palestine has now spread to Sweden, as encampments started popping up yesterday in cities like Stockholm, Örebro, Göteborg and Lund. The demands range from simply urging that the universities acknowledge the ongoing atrocities to calls for cutting all ties with weapon manufacturers and other organizations or individuals with ties to the ongoing occupation and genocide.
Power to the students! Free, free Palestine!
(The picture is from the encampment going up at Stockholm University)

The United Nations (UN) significantly lowers its previously stated casualty list in the Gaza Strip,Ari Blaff (National Post)
I'm quite frustrated with the liberal news agencies.
I went to check on the report about the UN reducing the number of reported Gazan casualties. They reduced the number by half, *half*, and yet I only see this reported in Conservative news sources.... From a UN report!
Any casualty is tragic, but the idea that the number of women and children who have died is *half* the number they previously released is a huge deal, and brings the number of casualties to be much lower than we've seen discussed in this unprecedented, highly urban war.
I complained about Conservatives courting Jews, but I must emphasize once again that this is not on Jews to be courted, it's on Liberals and the Left to court Jews, and if they lose a generation or two of Jews to the right, I will be sad but it will be obvious why...
Left, DO BETTER. Report the news even if it challenges your narrative.
