The cruelty and brutality are unfathomable. And yet the horror continues. Truly a failure of world leadership to unite against the ongoing genocide.

A new flotilla has set sail for Gaza

A Thousand Madleens to Gaza is an independent, civilian-led flotilla of volunteers, activists, and humanitarians. Our peaceful mission: to challenge the blockade, deliver aid, and show unwavering solidarity with Gaza. Show your support today: https://chuffed.org/campaign/138012-a-thousand-madleens-to-gaza

They deserve our support, even if we know it should be a thousand-ship flotilla with the escort of the navies of the world.

You did a wonderful thing by treating patients in Gaza. Israel is not just a leading killer of doctors, but the world's top killer of journalists as well. Meanwhile, the mainstream media says next to nothing as our colleagues are murdered. This genocide must end immediately. I wrote about this a few weeks ago.

Please, if the community could subscribe and share it would help me a lot. It's hard for pro-Palestinian writing to get out these days, and our newsletters are one of the few places we don't face institutional censorship. Please support the healthcare workers too and keep your eyes on Gaza even as we oppose ICE and the Trump Regime here in the U.S..

Send a letter condemning McNally Capital for investing in genocide!

One of the investment firms profiting off the Gaza “Humanitarian” Foundation’s (GHF) barbaric starvation campaign to kill Palestinians is McNally Capital, headquartered in Chicago.

Shame on you!

First the students, then the healthcare workers have stirred me to action. And that wouldn’t have happened were it not for the journalists who have covered them. I am grateful to them all. I watched a short clip on Substack today called, “You are not alone.” It showed crowds around the world, from Indonesia to Africa, France, UK and The Hague, protesting this genocide. One huge crowd, I don’t remember where, was loudly chanting, “We will not be silent.” This brought tears. In January of 2024, an anti-genocide protest march was organized in Washington, DC. I didn’t know anyone who would go. I went by myself. A group of Muslim women I met on the way thanked me graciously for attending. I explained that I needed to do it for myself. (I needed to be around like-minded people). There were about 400,000 in attendance. It was cold and the wind whipped up and a couple of women next to me, complete strangers, wrapped one of their scarves around my neck to keep me warm. I told them not to leave before I could return the scarf, but they disappeared into the sardine-packed crowd. I never saw them again, but I still have the scarf. We are not alone. In solidarity.

Call on Pope Leo XIV to do whatever it takes to save Gaza and stop the bombing, and end the starvation. Let him go to Gaza and stand with the suffering people who are being massacred by Israel and the Western posers. He can go to Gaza right now, and insist aid be allowed in.

Is there anything more important in today's world than this?

Two Israeli soldiers have been arrested at a music festival in Belgium over war crimes allegations, a campaign group has said.

The Hind Rajab Foundation (HRF) said in a statement that the two soldiers were attending the Tomorrowland festival in Boom, near Antwerp when they were arrested "with a clear show of force" by Belgian federal police.

After the soldiers were taken into custody, they were formally interrogated and released.

HRF said the Belgian Federal Prosecutor's Office has confirmed that a criminal investigation is now underway.

The complaint was filed last week by HRF and the Global Legal Action Network (GLan).

And there’s more: Dock workers at the Port of Piraeus have refused to unload a ship with military cargo destined to be transferred to a ship bound for Israel.

“We will not unload a single centimetre of this murderous cargo.
The dockworkers of Piraeus will not be complicit”.

We refuse to be tools of the US, Nato, the EU, Israel, or China, who use our country’s infrastructure to reshape the world redrawing borders with the blood of nations of the Palestinian people,”

Israel in great bravado, fanfare, breast thumping all of which is paid for by AMERICAN TAX DOLLARS by the thieves in our government who do AIPACs bidding will SO PROUDLY release the captive doctors and healthcare workers held by Israel approximately August 15th.

All patients will have died by then.

Keep reporting and putting all possible information on record. It seems those that could do something are prisoners of their own death industries and think they can keep gesticulating in vain to lollipop us into thinking they hear our basic human moral despair growing understanding of the horror we feel complicit in our countries that boast of universal values and UN respect. We see, in spite of all the mind massaging sophistic industry, and their choral media diffusion.

What can I do by myself 8 billion people said. If everyone posts daily one picture of a starving child on social media for a month genocide will stop. It's easy and takes a minute. One picture a day!

The End Around: More Bad News for the Orange Cheeto

Cheeto has evaded public scrutiny over his sordid sexual predatory behavior for years First the Access Hollywood tapes, then the E Jean Carroll rape civil settlement, then the conviction in the Stormy Daniels escapade, but even his MAGA base can’t stomach the perverse pedophilia story hidden in the Epstein files In March the FBI was tasked to see how much Cheeto was mentioned in the files and with so many mentions, Cheeto decided to shut down the release of the files But then with the fallout with his compadre, Musk dropped the bomb that instigated the attention of MAGA about Cheeto’s involvement

On MSNBC last night O’Donnell interviewed Bradley Edwards primary attorney for the Epstein victims Edwards detailed how his clients have never been given due consideration by DOJ in their desire to have the files exposed to the public

Rep Ro Khanna, one of the lead Representatives in the subpoena of the files by the Congressional Oversight Committee, said in a later interview that the committee would like to hear from Edwards representing the Epstein victims Edwards also expressed that there is a lot of discovery information that between his office and the defense attorneys for Epstein a lot of information could be released without even having the DOJ release the files that they have

It appears that the public doesn’t need a distrustworthy DOJ led by the Orange Cheeto Congress can just subpoena the already existing records from the involved attorneys in the Epstein case
