War declared, Israel v Palestine...

Chicago students walk out after university withholds diplomas from pro-Palestinian protesters

Students have walked out of a University of Chicago graduation ceremony in protest against the war in Gaza, after the university withheld diplomas from four graduating students who participated in a pro-Palestinian encampment.
“My diploma doesn’t matter when there are people in Palestine and in Gaza that will never walk a stage again, who will never receive a diploma. What about them? Who’s going to fight for them?” Youssef Haweh, one of the four students affected, said in a statement on Saturday.

Hamas yet to receive Biden’s ceasefire proposal

Hamas spokesperson Osama Hamdan welcomed Biden’s proposal as “positive”, but said the group is yet to receive any written documents.
“We have not received anything written, and based on our experience, what is verbally said is not what is usually documented. That is why we are ready to study any documents with all the details. However, what is being broadcast in the media reflects positivity,” he told Al Jazeera.
“We can see that people are conscious that the continuous war and the killing of our people will not make us lose our steadfastness. So there are a lot of positive elements. However, we need to see it documented on a piece of paper that should be sent to us.”

 
I'm completely convinced, that Mossad will have plenty of Kompromat on loads of western politicians.

That is, afterall, their job, and goes someway to explaining this weird support for Netanyahu, or at least, silence from people you might have expected to be more vocal.
The Epstein's were alleged to be Mossad agents. Given that Trump, Clinton, Mandelson, Saxe Coburg and others were friends it's probably a slam dunk.
 
When reconstruction in Gaza finally occurs, my vote is that all US and Western aid to Israel is diverted to reconstruction, there is no way countries other than Israel should cover reconstruction.

The Palestinians will pay. Gaza will be privatised.
 
Aid shipments into southern Gaza are being squeezed out by commercial convoys, humanitarian organisations say, at a time when Israel’s military push into Rafah has choked off supply routes critical to feeding hundreds of thousands of people.

"A group of aid agencies warned this week that there was a “mirage of improved access”, when efforts to feed Palestinians were on the verge of collapse."

 
Kindergarten politics alive and well in the US:

US lawmakers approve bill to sanction ICC over war crimes warrant for Israeli leaders

[04:20GMT]

US lawmakers have given the green light to a bill that would slap sanctions on officials from the International Criminal Court (ICC).
The move comes after the ICC’s Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan applied for arrest warrants to be issued against Israeli leaders for alleged war crimes in Gaza.
Al Jazeera’s Heidi Zhou-Castro emphasises that while several procedural hoops remain before the sanctions can be enforced, including passing through the Democrat-led Senate, the move remains significant.

 

Israel allegedly organised campaign to influence US lawmakers: Report

The New York Times reports that the Israeli Ministry of Diaspora Affairs allegedly organised a campaign on social media to influence US lawmakers to support Israel’s actions in its war on Gaza.
Citing unnamed officials and documents, the US newspaper reported that the ministry paid $2m for the campaign and hired Stoic, a political marketing firm in Tel Aviv, to carry it out.
It said the campaign started in October and is still ongoing on X. It used hundreds of fake accounts that posed as real Americans on X, Facebook and Instagram to post pro-Israel comments.
The accounts reportedly targeted US lawmakers, especially those who are Black and Democrat, with posts urging them to continue funding Israel’s military.

 

At least 70 dead people and over 300 wounded, the majority of whom are women and children, have been brought to Al-Aqsa hospital since yesterday following heavy Israeli strikes in the Middle Area of the #Gaza strip.

“The odour of blood in the hospital's emergency room this morning was unbearable. There are people lying everywhere, on the floor, outside... bodies were being brought in plastic bags. The situation is overwhelming” - Karin Huster, MSF medical adviser in Gaza.

Medical teams in Al-Aqsa hospital - one of the only remaining functional health facilities in the Middle Area - are currently trying to deal with a huge influx of patients, many of them arriving with severe burns, shrapnel wounds, fractures, and other traumatic injuries.

”With the insane escalation of violence in various locations in the Gaza Strip over the last 48 hours, and while the Rafah crossing point has remained closed for a month, the health system has been stretched to the point of collapse. The situation is apocalyptic.” - Karin Huster.

The repeated mass casualty incidents are unacceptable and the horrific toll on civilians shows the total disregard for human lives in Gaza. This man-made catastrophe needs to stop now.
