As Gaza nears famine, the pro-Israel lobby AIPAC instructs supporters to tell lawmakers that “reports that people are starving in Gaza are false.”

    The aggressive Zionists are lying to our faces, killing journalists, and censoring news sources that disagree. These folks have no integrity and actively oppose truth because the truth of the situation is disastrous for their support. Here’s former Israeli PM Yair Lapid telling the world that “if the international media is objective, it serves Hamas. If it just shows both sides, it serves Hamas.”

    Just because it’s an important disclaimer - “Zionist” is not the same as “Jew” or even the same as “Israeli”. Racism is never the informed choice, and there are many dissenting Jews inside and outside of Israel. I’m friends with a Jew who has been horribly persecuted by their own family for breaking ranks and to me they are meaningfully courageous. Lots of Zionists aren’t even Jews. Judge based on actions, not genetics or residence.

      I heard on bbc this morning they are trying to force the ultra Orthodox Jews into the military, which is against their religious views. I briefly looked online, and many orthodox are anti Zionist as well (although many do support Israel as a country in general)

      Netanyahu is grasping at power so he can avoid his ongoing prosecution for corruption and fraud.

      It is very sad.

    Dumb Genocide Enthusiasts: “People aren’t starving, there’s plenty of dead people and animals to eat in Gaza right now…”

      I can see you’re trying to be funny (I hope), but that is beyond bad taste.

      Edit: that is not meant to be a pun. It’s not funny.

        It was actually meant to be sardonic, and while sardonic comments may seem funny at times, they come from a place of cynicism and judgement, which should be obvious from my calling them “genocide enthusiasts”.

    At first glance, I thought that thumb in front of the report looked like…something else 😂
