Note: IT'S NOT JUST ISRAEL ...

In repeatedly targeting and destroying a cancer center in Yemen - the United States has carried on a long pattern of booming hospitals.

On March 24, the United States carried out a premeditated attack on the Al Rasool Al-Azam Oncology Hospital in Saada, Yemen ... turning it into rubble. At least two people were killed and 13 more injured.

This was not an isolated incident. 8 days previously, on March 16, Washington launched 13 separate airstrikes against the building, systematically destroying the hospital’s five blocks. The Anti-Cancer Fund, a local government medical organization, described the events as a clear “war crime.”

“These attacks are not just airstrikes, but systematic executions, intended to eliminate hope and wipe out life amid a suffocating blockade,” it said in a statement.

The newly built Al Rasool Al-Azam Hospital was the centerpiece of the region’s healthcare network. Costing over $7.5 million, the center provided crucial treatment to hundreds of cancer patients who previously went without any care at all or faced an eight-and-a-half-hour round trip to the capital - Sanaa, for therapy.

The repeated strikes on healthcare facilities in Yemen ... have received virtually zero attention in the United States. Indeed, Washington's attacks on Yemen have elicited almost no critical coverage, with corporate media seemingly more outraged that senior Trump officials used a Signal group chat to plan their operations than those deeds leading to the deaths of dozens of civilians.

The USA returned to booming Yemen because its government - in an effort to halt the Israeli assault on Gaza, stopped Israel's ships from traveling through the Red Sea. And like Palestine, Yemen is under an international blockade, depriving its people of basic necessities.

They explore the psychological impact of witnessing atrocities, the historical roots of violence and oppression & - the emotional responses that arise in the face of such horror. Dr. Mate emphasizes the importance of acknowledging guilt and rage, while also recognizing the helplessness felt by those who wish to help.The important discussion also touches on the normalization of violence and the implications for the future of Gaza and global society."

Leaked audio obtained by The Grayzone from an off-the-record session at AIPAC’s 2025 Congressional Summit, clearly reveals some very important insights into the Israeli influence group’s political leverege!!

In the recording, AIPAC CEO Elliott Brandt refers to top Trump-era national security officials as “lifelines” for the organization - the most powerful pro-Israel lobby in the U.S. He details the group’s close ties with figures such as Secretary of State Marco Rubio, National Security Director Mike Waltz, and CIA Director John Ratcliffe - relationships cultivated over many years.

The audio recording also includes remarks by Dana Stroul ... a former Pentagon official under the Biden administration.

An unidentified speaker, also raises concerns about the future impact of AI on public discourse - warning that AI-generated content will really reflect the current internet landscape and vaguely alluding to the rise in pro-Palestine sentiments amid ISR’s ongoing genocidal war on the Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank!

"Pope Francis: The bloodshed in Palestine/Israel must end"!

As "Writing before his death on Easter Monday,Pope Francis called for safety and dignity for everyone in Palestine and Israel. Waging peace takes more courage than waging war, he argued in this posthumous op-ed." Also consider ...

pacem in terris ...

"Look to his stand on Gaza: Pope Francis gave us moral leadership - in amoral times!" by Owen Jones:

"With his outspokenness about Israel’s outrages .. the late Pope showed up the hypocrisy of the media and politicians"!

STARTS: "The deaths of major public figures can provoke the most grotesque outpourings of hypocrisy & so it goes for Pope Francis - now lauded by leaders and media outlets that were complicit in the very evils he condemned. “Pope Francis was a pope for the poor, the downtrodden and the forgotten” - said Keir Starmer - a Prime Minister who stripped the winter fuel payment from many vulnerable pensioners before launching an assault on disability benefits predicted to drive up to 400,000 Britons into poverty & “He promoted … an end to .. suffering across the globe,” wrote Joe Biden, enabler of Israel’s genocidal assault on Gaza."

& ENDS - "But what matters is this. If you believe a monumental crime is happening in front of our eyes, then you should expect anyone with power & influence to take a stand. Let history record that this Pope took a stand against one of the great horrors of our time."

fiat lux et amor vincit omnia ...

Note "Pope Francis suggested the global community study whether Israel's military campaign in Gaza constitutes a genocide of the Palestinian people." FROM:

vade in pace et multum in parvo!

The Pope died this morning. 7:35 am Rome time. RiP - and in the closing days of his long life, Pope Francis continued to call the only parish priest in G/\Z/\ every evening from hospital.

"Palestinians, and Palestinian Christians in particular .. have lost a dear friend today. Pope Francis was beloved in Palestine. He conveyed true compassion to Palestinians .. most notably to all those in Gaza during this genocide.His pastoral heart was evident in his insistence on calling the Christian community besieged in Gaza on a constant basis, even from his hospital.

"The Pope left our world today and the occupation and the wall remained. Even worse,he left our world while a genocide continues to unfold. Back in November he wrote - “I'm thinking above all of those who leave Gaza in a midst of the famine that has struck their Palestinian brothers and sisters, given the real difficulty of getting food and aid into their territory. According to some experts what's happening in Gaza has the characteristics of a Genocide. It should be carefully investigated to determine whether it fits into the technical definition formulated by jurists and international bodies.”

"Today I wonder .. will the millions who will mourn his death these coming days respect this wish of his? Will they care for Gazans and Palestinians in the way he did?" FROM:

"This Passover, We Must Reckon With Israel’s Massacre of Children in Gaza" - by Brant Rosen:

So consider "The New Fascism: Israel is the template for Trump and Europe’s war on freedom"!

"In reality, Fascism never went away. The West simply outsourced it ... to a client state, whose job was, on the West’s behalf, to advance in the Middle East the same ugly ideas of a hierarchy of human worth.

"We identify with Israel because we are told it represents us, our values & our civilisation. And the truth is, it does; which is why responsibility for 18 months of genocide in Gaza stops with us. This is now our genocide. And before it’s even complete, it is coming back to bite us."

A long, sustained detailed, disturbing read, that's well argued and referenced, leaving one thinking, just WTaF is actually going on?! Finally, consider this video ...

"As Maya Berry clearly stated in her testimony, the hateful stereotypes of Arab, Muslim and Palestinian Americans normalized in our media and by our elected officials contribute to the widespread hate felt by millions of Americans. We cannot afford to let Kennedy’s comments slide, because this isn't a one-off or an isolated comment, it is reflective of a harmful trend.

FURTHER .. "We've seen the tangible consequences of this play out in communities across the country. In November, three college students of Palestinian descent, were gunned down in Vermont, leaving one of them paralyzed. Just last December Wadee Alfayoumi, a six-year-old Palestinian American child was brutally murdered in Chicago and his mother hospitalized. Another horrific hate crime happened when a Pakistani American woman was stabbed multiple times in Texas." (FROM YOUR ^ LINK)

NOTE THAT: "In this conversation, Kennard dives deep into US hegemony and foreign policy, especially in light of Israel’s ongoing war on Gaza and he also unpacks the broader implications of US Imperialism, the upcoming US elections and why he believes Gaza has 'exposed the US empire like never before'"!!!

Above ^ link, is one of THE best expositions/explanations of US hegemony, I've heard in a long time tbh. It is an interview with an English independent journalist, with a UK perspective & is deeply revealing imo.

So consider .. "I Was Told Palestine Was Complicated Visiting Revealed a Simple, Brutal Truth"!!!

Note "As the war on Gaza spans a second year, we continue our conversation with the acclaimed writer Ta-Nehisi Coates. His new book, The Message - is based in part on his own visit last year to Israel and the Occupied West Bank where he says he saw a system of segregation and oppression reminiscent of Jim Crow in the United States. "It was revelatory," says Coates and. "I don't think the average American has a real sense of what we’re doing over there - and I emphasize 'what we are doing' because it is not possible without American support.

Soldiers' testimony describes children being shot in central Gaza and posthumously branded 'terrorists'!

Noting that 'My decision is an acknowledgement that this status never held any legitimacy to begin with'!

As ... "Israeli lawmakers are urging the military, to intensify genocide in Gaza by destroying any possible sources of energy, food, and water in the territory."

"A violent fanatic and pioneer in bigotry, Meir Kahane died a political outcast 35 years ago. Today, his ideas influence the very highest levels of government"! [AN ESSENTIAL READ FOR DEEPER INFO]

"In retrospect, Israel may have never intended to leave Gaza or stop the war. When both sides agreed to a ceasefire .. Israel refused to state in writing that it would not resume hostilities after the first phase.

"Hamas still agreed to the terms after receiving verbal guarantees from mediators - Egypt, Qatar & the US that Israel would not restart its genocidal war against Palestinians.The US, which supplies most of Israel’s arms & provides it with unwavering support,is the only country with real leverage against Israel and it is clear that it has again reneged on its promise to protect Palestinian lives from unlawful – likely criminal – Israeli violence."

[-] 1 points by ImNotMe (1488) 1 week ago

Re. Gaza and some historical perspective, further note this forum-post and reply comment thread from December, 2013 and consider ...

As: "More than 100 people were killed in the first 48 hours of the ground invasion. Most of them were civilians killed in their homes, backyards and gardens."

NB: “Israel has always been a racist project, against Palestinians but even against Jews, it’s been an antisemitic project.Zionism requires antisemitism to justify its existence. Zionists do not really want to defeat antisemitism, they use it to strengthen the state of Israel." FROM THIS TWEET:

NB - "A regulated planned emigration .. it was beneficial to both parties … I tried to help these Jewish officials & together we considered solutions…I always took into account the desires of the Jews...with the aim of finding a solution to this problem.That was my wish and my idea…" (Adolf Eichman) and so compare and contrast that - with what Benny Nutjobyahoo is on record of saying re. The Palestinians!

"Palestinians know they need moral legitimacy in their methods of resistance,write Ramzy Baroud and Romana Rubeo, which raises the subject of Oct. 7, 2023." - WHILE ALSO ...

NOTING “Palestinian people’s use of force to resist foreign oppression a& complete the establishment of an independent state is an inalienable right... the struggle waged by peoples for their liberation, right to self-determination including armed struggle against colonialism, occupation, aggression, domination against foreign forces should not be considered terror acts.”

et veritas vos liberabit ...

Note how "Kamala Harris Paid the Price for Not Breaking With Biden on Gaza, New Poll Shows"!

As "Twenty-nine percent of non-voters who supported Biden in 2020 said U.S. support for the genocide was the top reason they sat the 2024 election, according to a survey by YouGov."

"Donald Trump plans to ethnically cleanse Palestinians, saying ... “The US will take over the Gaza Strip. We’ll own it”. His son-in-law Jared Kushner has invested in Israeli companies that profit from expanding illegal settlements. Trump and Kushner floated building luxury real estate in Gaza." - Also now consider:

Meanwhile another massive war crime committed by Israel: "Israel killed 15 Palestinian paramedics and rescue workers one by one, says UN. Workers on mission to help colleagues were buried in mass grave in southern Gaza, says humanitarian office"!

FROM WHICH: "Like other liberal Zionists, Bernie Sanders upholds a vision of an Israel that has never, ever existed: one which remains an ethnostate dominated by Jews .. but which conducts itself in a kind and just manner, without constantly murdering and abusing Palestinians.

"This iteration of the State of Israel, is a fiction. An imaginary fantasyland, like Narnia. Everything about Israel is stacked against the possibility of such a status quo ever emerging, and Israel has always done everything it can to prevent the creation of a Palestinian State. By pretending that it is possible to have The Zionist Entity and also have peace and justice, liberal Zionists help manufacture public consent for continuing to feed weapons to the genocidal apartheid state of Israel.

e tenebris - tenebris!

So a majority of Americans now hold unfavourable views of Israel - Pew poll finds. This is highly significant. Now COMPARE & CONTRAST the insistence of the US political class to fund Israel & back Israel to a quite clearly extraordinary degree - WITH the views of the US public!!! Further NB:

Thread: A Statement From The Occupy Student Debt Campaign

So why is it such a big deal to Republicans to forgive $1.7 Trillion of Student Debt for American Kids who were trying to get an education ... but wiping out $5.4 Trillion in the Stock Market, in 3 days because of ridiculous tariffs is no big deal?! Furthermore, please ...

FROM WHICH: "The Trump administration’s rehoming of the federal student loan program is putting student borrowers at a higher risk of defaulting on their loans and may not save the government the money that it is claiming it will, experts say.

"After the president vowed to dismantle the education department and make student loans a part of the Small Business Administration, student financial aid groups suggest borrowers could find themselves in hot water because the SBA doesn't have experience with such loans and is on track to lose almost half its staff.

"The move to put student loan debt under the SBA umbrella - comes on the heels of recent changes to and reversals of borrower repayment plans ... most notably the Saving on a Valuable Education (Save) Plan. Additionally, it’s arriving in tandem with rising costs of living around the US.

“This is a recipe for millions of borrowers getting poor service and having no one to protect them,” said Michael Negron, who worked on student debt for the National Economic Council".
