How many more Palestinian lives will this fourth US veto cost? Is this yet another cruel parting gift that Biden is giving the Palestinians? Israel’s impunity & ongoing genocide are “made in the USA.”
The US has just vetoed another ceasefire resolution in the UN Security Council, and, in doing so, proves once again to the world that it is fully committed to the continuation of the genocide in Palestine. Even as we seek accountability for Israeli perpetrators, we must also seek accountability for complicit US actors. Israeli/US impunity threatens the entire world. And the UN must now move to take concrete action in the UNGA.

"The grotesque horror of a school field trip arriving at this location from two hours away to watch the mass slaughter from an observation deck was a shock I am overwhelmed by. The first wave of boys pumped celebratory firsts and thrust middle fingers upon their sight of Gaza."
That is Gaza behind me. The fence line is 600m away. The northern part of Gaza, where Israel is carrying out a genocide within a genocide, systematically starving 300,000 Palestinians to death, is about 2km further. The absurdity and the obscenity of being able to be this close to 20,000 murdered children, their bodies “prophetic voices from under the rubble” as a colleague called them, is difficult to accept. The grotesque horror of a school field trip arriving at this location from two hours away to watch the mass slaughter from an observation deck was a shock I am overwhelmed by. The first wave of boys pumped celebratory firsts and thrust middle fingers upon their sight of Gaza.

Hey, @JacintaAllanMP Thanks for the passion & for the 6 tweets. But when people are killed on our deadly roads you just send “thoughts and prayers” months later (if approached for action) but you do absolutely NOTHING. We are tired of this. Don’t come to Bluesky.
I am furious that a small group of people have chosen to politicise a beautiful event for children. I’m just as mad at all the others who have quietly stoked this division and egged them on.

We don’t just want jobs jobs jobs. We want and quality, clean, sustainable jobs. Get it @AlboMP ? Please don’t bring meaningless posts like this to Bluesky
More trade means more jobs. That’s what I’m promoting here at APEC and next week at the G20.

If you see I have stopped following you, that’s because I am now following you on Bluesky. Please join me/us over there if you haven’t already.

Israel has now killed 219 medics and paramedics here in Lebanon in six weeks. That is over 6 a day. Deliberately targeted. Ambulances, health centres, civil defence centres. All targeted by Israel. Just like Gaza, a stage of pre-planned genocide.
BREAKING: Israel just committed a massacre in Baalbek, bombing the Civil Defense Center filled with medical personnel. Over 15 paramedics have been killed, with many still trapped under the rubble. Israel is hunting down paramedics across Lebanon. This is an act of genocide.

Let's not forget that RFK Jr. regularly spews Kremlin propaganda. Oh, and he’s a complete moron.

For instance, Moshe Arenstein, MSNBC's Executive Producer, was literally an IDF intelligence commander in his youth.

Thread 🧵 Undisclosed to the public, there are hundreds of former Israel Lobbyists working in America's newsrooms, shaping the way we understand the world. My new investigation lifts the lid on this network: mintpressnews.com/revealed-t…
