Politics Corner April 22

My cut and paste is still hampered so you'll have to look up sources yourself.  Think of it as a treasure hunt.

Israel has yet to provide any proof of connection between UNRWA and Hamas. Bibi wants famine and Hamas could give a shit. The real aim of Israel was to replace international aid with strict Israeli control. Netanyahu doesn't want the war to end any time soon but he wants Gazans firmly under his heel, starving in tents in the desert. [Guardian]



Israel is indeed committed to moving everyone that they told to shelter in Rafah out of Rafah so they can flatten Rafah like they've flattened the rest of Gaza. They claim that there are still Hamas fighters hiding there. They Don't explain why these sup p used fighters won!t just move with the civilians again like they presumably did when they entered Rafah. [Times of Israel]

The US has had enough of both sides. Secretary Blinken listed a litany of human rights violations from both Hamas and Israel. His list stopped at the end of last year so it doesn't even include such atrocities as blowing up world Kitchen vehicles.  No consequences have even been suggested but Israel knows it's fucked up because they are already pushing back against a response. Again, Hamas doesn't give a shit. If anything Hamas is enjoying watching Israel squirm and destroy it's reputation. Hamas is getting everything it wants. [Washington Post]

I don't have much new to say about the hush money case that you haven't already heard before. The only reason for a not guilty plea is delay. We know what he did. Michael Cohen already went to prison for this. So let's take a quick look at the classified documents case. Trump is convinced that it will go away and that he will be elected in November. He appears to be asking Nauta to fall on his sword for him. He promises to pardon him. How many pardons are promised now? [CNN]




Political Discussion welcome.
