"The Biden administration, after reportedly finding three battalions within the Israeli occupation forces to be violating human rights and taking the decision to sanction it, decided not to proceed with the punitive measures.

The three battalions, found to be committing 'gross human rights violations' against Palestinian civilians in the occupied West Bank, will walk away scott-free as no sanctions will be imposed on them, ABC News reported.

US Secretary of State Antony Binken informed US House Speaker Mike Johnson of the decision in a Friday letter, wherein he reportedly said the fact that they were found to be violating human rights would not impede or delay the delivery of any type of assistance to the Israeli occupation.

Blinken underlined that the Israeli occupation forces would receive the full amount of arms and funds appropriated by Congress."

Yemen’s armed forces threatened on 22 April to expand military operations against Israeli-linked ships in the Red Sea, Arab Sea, and Indian Ocean following the discovery of mass graves in Gaza’s Nasser Medical Complex. “For the seventh month in a row, the genocidal crimes of the Israeli enemy continue, the latest of which is the brutal massacre in the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Yunis,” the armed forces said via a statement on Yemen’s Al-Masirah channel. The statement continued, “the genocidal crimes that the Palestinian people are facing in Gaza and the occupied West Bank reflect an unparalleled level of Zionist hatred and crime.” The statement by Yemen called to “escalate their operations in the Red Sea,” adding that Sanaa continues its full support for the people of Gaza. On Sunday, over 200 bodies were found across two mass graves located in Khan Yunis’ Nasser Medical Complex. Gaza’s Government Media Office announced that about 700 victims are expected to be found. “We found in the Nasser Complex corpses without heads and bodies without skins, and some of them had their organs stolen,” the media office said. “The occupation executed dozens of displaced, wounded, sick, and medical staff.”

Excerpt:

The development follows the recovery of hundreds of bodies “buried deep in the ground and covered with waste” over the weekend at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, central Gaza, and at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City in the north. A total of 283 bodies were recovered at Nasser Hospital, of which 42 were identified. 

“Among the deceased were allegedly older people, women and wounded, while others were found tied with their hands…tied and stripped of their clothes,” said Ravina Shamdasani, spokesperson for the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights.

"Jewish people deserve a safe place and Palestinians deserve to die cuz they're antisemitic and Jewish people are from there anyway so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯"

I mean let's be real, by this logic every single person living in an antisemitic country (all of them) deserves to die for making it an unsafe place for the Jewish population in that country. Because their safety is a right and that right gives them the right to murder people, apparently.

That's the argument Zionists are making.

(The implications of which fucking insane btw; so when do native Americans get to kill our oppressors in broad daylight without any countries or anyone stepping in to stop us? We deserve to be safe too and if you disagree or want to stop me then you hate natives)

But I digress, it's the way this logic echos Nazi claims that Jewish people ritually murder and are dangerous that really makes this logic shine.

Zionists, much like Nazis, love spreading blood libel.

Zionism is an antiquated mechanism used by power hungry Europeans intent on politicizing religion as a cult that has since radicalized others by default and divided people who used to peacefully coexist such as in Palestine. It's an evil that drags its members into a bottomless moral abyss such as what we're now witnessing.

Go away Zionism

Free Palestine 🇵🇸

MLK was a staunch Zionist

Hitler was a staunch Antizionist.

Don't be like Hitler.

Be like MLK.

shit the western media won't show you

"A pregnant Palestinian woman, among other Palestinians, was detained on Friday by Israeli occupation forces that carried out multiple raids across the occupied West Bank, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported.

Local sources reported that the Israeli forces raided the Jalazone camp north of Ramallah at dawn, storming several homes and vandalizing them. The Jalazone Media Center reported that Israeli forces detained Jihad Obeidat Nakhla, a 33-year-old teacher, in addition to a three-month pregnant mother of four, and two young men, Ahmed Mustafa al-Nawash and Muath Mamoun al-Ramahi.

The town of Qabatiya in south Jenin was stormed again this morning by Israeli forces, just a few hours after their withdrawal. Occupation soldiers besieged and raided the Zakarna cemetery, before raiding the homes of Palestinian youth Ahmed Jassim Awad Nazal and Asid al-Zaghloul and detaining them.

Israeli forces also raided the towns of Azzun and Jayus east of Qalqilya and raided several houses. In Azzun an Israeli special force besieged the house of Ashraf Salim before raiding and vandalizing it. Afterward, the occupation forces withdrew toward the neighboring town of Jayus and raided another house.

Furthermore, Israeli forces arrested the brothers Ayman and Anas Saber al-Zaru after raiding their family home in the southern area of al-Khalil city.

In the Balata camp in Nablus, Palestinian youth forced an Israeli unit to withdraw following hours of confrontations.

On Thursday, our correspondent reported that Palestinian teenager Khaled Arqawi was shot by Israeli occupation forces during their raid on Ramallah.

This unfolds amid ongoing confrontations in the West Bank, especially since the beginning of Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip. Towns and cities in the West Bank endure daily raids, alongside extensive arrest campaigns, resulting in an increase in the number of martyrs and injuries from confrontations with the occupation forces."

apparently Israel is throwing a tantrum about not being allowed to submit a zionist anthem October Rain into the Eurovision Song Contest. They're threatening to withdraw because the EBU has told them the song is too political and that it would be disqualified.

You should still boycott Eurovision even if Israel withdraws! The EBU's refusal to take a stance against Israel on the grounds of the ongoing genocide is reason enough to boycott the contest.

I also learned this today about her:

Palestine will be free!
