Israel Goes South!

Israel is trying to invade the last place where Gazans fled.

The Israeli government is now preparing to strike in the areas where they forced millions of Gazans to flee. This is literally going against the U.S. and U.N.'s warnings against forced displacement.

Saudi Arabia warns that the peace deal between Israel will not go forward if Israel continues to push Palestinians out of Gaza and the West Bank.

There are airstrikes in Rafah, the last place where Israel demanded Gazans go. Of course, since they cut off internet, water, food, gas, medical supplies and sewage, the many people who have no means of technology are at risk of being killed by these evil people.

Israel is losing the public's trust and the U.S. is waning.

It is rumored that President Joe Biden called Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a "fucking bad guy" and has gave Israel an ultimatum to avoid civilian casualties or lose American aid. It is too late for Biden to win back support from Arab Americans.

Biden campaign officials went to Minneapolis, Dearborn, Detroit and Chicago to talk to Arab American leaders only to be shunned by several. They feel that Biden is too cozy with the foreign government of Israel and harboring sentiments post-9/11 towards Muslims.

He is constantly been telling the world what Israel wanted.

"It was the other team."

That will go down in history as the biggest blunders in Biden's outreach to Arab Americans and practicing Muslim Americans.

Israel has destroyed hospitals. They claimed Hamas build tunnels and had weapons placed inside. However, they have not allowed UN workers or reporteurs inside to verify evidence. The American and British media are not allowed to stray outside of the Israel Defence Force. Any reporting must be cleared with Israel before it is shown to the public.

Israel has destroyed schools and refugee centers. Safe zones sponsored by the UN. Israel claimed Hamas were running terror camps and kidnapped Israelis. The U.S., Great Britain, Australia and Canada cut off funding to the UNRWA.

Israel continues to torture Palestinians.

Even though five people (of course being tortured by the Israelis) confessed they're Hamas, the UN workers were fired and the humanitarian aid from world leaders is halted.

The Israelis are blocking aid coming into Gaza. Several of the Israelis are armed and have pointed firearms at relief workers. Israel claims Hamas stole the aid and are living high on the hog.

Rape and torture of Palestinians in Israeli prisons. Animals are being shot by Israeli forces. They are pillaging from homes, businesses and schools. Israel claims that Hamas raper and tortured women. Claims of 67 men were found inside a 13 year old Israeli girl claims some. There is no proof of that and of course, why even bring that to attention?

Israeli hasbara is rampant on X. The troll farms from Israel and Russia are working overtime to ensure that Donald J. Trump wins in 2024. Elon Musk got millions from the Israeli government after he was talked out of providing Starlink for Gazans. Now Musk is deplatforming X users who criticize Israeli propaganda. They are platforming content favorable to Israel.

Biden is being hammered by protesters. Most Democrats and even some Republicans are calling for an immediate ceasefire. And now Biden appeared to ease a split among Democrats over his military support for Israel’s war in Gaza, with lawmakers on Friday praising the order authorizing a swift cutoff of military aid to countries that violate international protections of civilians.

For Biden, the commitment to conditioning U.S. military aid for Israel and other allies and strategic partners will help him shore up support among center-left Senate Democrats for his proposed $95 billion supplemental assistance package, which is aimed primarily at military aid for Ukraine in its war with Russia and for Israel in its war against Hamas in Gaza.

Tel Aviv still stands. Israel is not defending itself. It is the cause of problems in the Middle East. 

Democratic senators on Friday called Biden’s directive — meant to bring breadth, oversight, deadlines and teeth to efforts to ensure foreign governments don’t use U.S. military aid against civilians — historic.

“This is a sea-change in terms of how you approach U.S. military aid and its impact on civilians,” Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren said. She spoke at a Capitol news conference with other Democrats who’d negotiated with the White House for two months on the matter, in an effort led by Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen.

Human rights advocates said the challenge for the new directive would be the same faced by all previous efforts to withhold U.S. weapons and funding from human rights abusers — whether administrations will actually enforce the human rights conditions against strategically important allies and partners.

“The issue was never knowledge” of U.S. military aid being used in violation of international law “so much as enforcement,” said Kenneth Roth, a former head of Human Rights Watch and a visiting professor at Princeton School of Public and International Affairs.

The new order comes in what’s officially known as a presidential memorandum. Those have the force of law, although succeeding presidents can overturn them.

Biden’s order has immediate effect. It gives Secretary of State Antony Blinken 45 days to obtain “credible and reliable written assurances” from foreign recipients of U.S. military aid that are in active conflicts, which includes Israel and Ukraine, that they are using U.S. military assistance in compliance with international humanitarian law and human rights law and other standards.

Foreign governments that fail to provide those assurances on time would have their military aid paused. Administrations also have the option of suspending U.S. military assistance if they deem a foreign government isn’t really complying with humanitarian law and protections, despite claiming it is.

Other requirements include regular reports from the administration on compliance going forward. That includes countries not actively fighting a war.

The supply of air defense systems and some other defensive gear is exempted. While supporters say the stringent language of the order will limit the ability of presidential administrations to evade the spirit of the measure, the order does allow administrations to waive the requirements in “rare and extraordinary circumstances.”

The Biden administration has frustrated some Senate Democrats during Israel’s war in Gaza by declaring a national security emergency to rush military aid to Israel, skirting the usual process of congressional notification.

The administration also has quietly lobbied against moves by independent Sen. Bernie Sanders and others to attach conditions to military aid to Israel in the supplemental legislation, with the idea of pressuring Israel to do more to spare Palestinian civilians.

Evil has no remorse.

Nearly 28,000 Palestinians, two-thirds of them women and children, have been killed since Israel launched its military campaign in Gaza. That followed the Oct. 7 attacks by Hamas that killed about 1,200 people in Israel.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government has not appeared to have substantially backed off on airstrikes daily claiming civilian lives despite the pressure from the United States, its most important ally and military supporter. The U.S. is also frustrated at Israel’s restrictions on humanitarian aid deliveries into Gaza. Biden this week said some of his strongest criticism of Israel’s conduct of the war, calling it “over the top.”

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre underscored Friday that the administration is “not imposing new standards for military aid” with the memorandum. She said it was done in the interest of improving transparency.

She added that Israeli officials were briefed on the memorandum before its release.

“They reiterated their willingness to provide these types of assurances,” Jean-Pierre said.

The U.S. already has laws — including the Foreign Assistance Act and the Leahy Law — meant to bar security assistance to governments that are serial human rights abusers. Those “are honored in the breach,” Roth, the human rights expert, said.

“If the administration is so indifferent to existing law, it’s not clear what difference a new set of reports will make,” Roth said.

The Democratic senators said Friday they would continue working to strengthen the new system laid out in the order.

That includes seeking funding for the additional government oversight and codifying it into legislation so it’s harder for future presidents to trash.

“This is a very big deal,” Van Hollen said. “And it will give President Biden and the United States more tools and more leverage ... to ensure that U.S. military assistance complies with American values and American” standards.
