Trump said: “There is very little happening right now in Gaza.” REALLY? Gaza’s Health Ministry reports that 3 Palestinians have been killed with another 15 injured in the past 48 hours by Israeli forces.

Here's the entirety of Trump's bonkers call to C-SPAN, which began with a woman (not Melania) giggling in the background, continued with him going on a fascist diatribe about Venezuela, and ended with the C-SPAN host gently trying to nudge him off the line mid-psychotic rant

Translation: "Israel starved a Palestinian child to death"
Israel to release body of Palestinian teen who died malnourished in prison haaretz.com/west-bank/2026-1…
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
According to an Israeli judge, the teen was "likely starved." An autopsy observed by a family doctor found extreme prolonged malnutrition as a likely leading factor. The probe closed without finding a crime caused the death. Body held ~1.5 years. apnews.com/article/palest… haaretz.com/israel-news/is…

Israel dropped 2,000-pound bombs, each with a lethal radius of 3.3 football fields, on refugee camps packed with displaced Palestinians, including on the "safe zone" it forced them to flee to. Blinken and the Biden administration sent at least 14,000 MK-84 2,000-pound bombs to Israel between Oct. 7, 2023 and late June 2024. The former Secretary of State today said “Israelis didn’t intend to harm Palestinian civilians.”
Former U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken: The Israelis didn't intend to harm Palestinians. The target was Hamas.

Decreasing or stopping military aid to Israel is now a position supported by the majority of Americans, according to a poll, and backed by parties from left-wing progressives to mainstream Democratic leaders to the White House. wapo.st/488Tqjf

I am outraged by Section 219 that integrates our military with Israel's. This needs to be top priority in the lame duck. I am pushing every Democrat and our leadership to get Section 219 out of our defense bill.
