Paul Wermer, CC BY-NC-SA 4.0<p>I find it hard to read the stories on what is being done to the Palestinians. For those who claim the <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/NetanyahuAdministration" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>NetanyahuAdministration</span></a> is not actively pursuing genocidal ambitions, please consider this from deputy parliament speaker Nissim Vaturi:</p><p> “We need to separate the children and women and kill the adults in Gaza. We are being too considerate,” Vaturi said. “We will soon turn Jenin [in the West Bank] into Gaza,” he added. </p><p>How is that not a clear statement of intent?</p><p><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/apr/13/gaza-killing-starved?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theguardian.com/commentisfree/</span><span class="invisible">2025/apr/13/gaza-killing-starved?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other</span></a></p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Gaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Gaza</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/WestBank" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>WestBank</span></a></p>
Paul Wermer, CC BY-NC-SA 4.0<p>Gee, why would the <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/IDF" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>IDF</span></a> spokesperson tell an untruth? Doesn&#39;t the history of IDF actions in <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Gaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Gaza</span></a> and the <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/WestBank" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>WestBank</span></a> show how careful they are not to harm noncombatants? /s [for those who might not have followed the IDF snipers killing children, the persons in IDF uniforms supporting settlers attacking Palestinians in the West Bank, the entire Gaza campaign as waged by the IDF and the <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/NetanyahuAdministration" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>NetanyahuAdministration</span></a>, and the statements about getting Palestinians out of Gaza made by members of the Netanyahu Administration (clear calls for <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/EthnicCleansing" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>EthnicCleansing</span></a>)]</p><p><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/apr/05/phone-footage-appears-to-contradict-israeli-account-of-killing-of-gaza-paramedics?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theguardian.com/world/2025/apr</span><span class="invisible">/05/phone-footage-appears-to-contradict-israeli-account-of-killing-of-gaza-paramedics?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other</span></a></p>
Paul Wermer, CC BY-NC-SA 4.0<p>The implicit US support for the <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/NetanyahuAdministration" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>NetanyahuAdministration</span></a> and IDF war crimes apparently continues unabated.</p><p>Maybe we&#39;ll hear something meaningful from the <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Democrats" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Democrats</span></a> this time. Sadly, I doubt it.</p><p>It seems we really don&#39;t need the <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/OrangeToddler" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>OrangeToddler</span></a> to blot the US copybook. The political leadership in both parties is more than happy to tolerate these <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/atrocities" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>atrocities</span></a>.</p><p><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/mar/31/israel-killed-15-palestinian-paramedics-and-rescue-workers-one-by-one-says-un?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theguardian.com/world/2025/mar</span><span class="invisible">/31/israel-killed-15-palestinian-paramedics-and-rescue-workers-one-by-one-says-un?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other</span></a></p>
Paul Wermer, CC BY-NC-SA 4.0<p>I was curious if the <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/DNC" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>DNC</span></a> had any positions!on international issues, such as the crisis in Gaza/West Bank.

Paul Wermer, CC BY-NC-SA 4.0<p>The abusive behavior supported and encouraged by the <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/NetanyahuAdministration" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>NetanyahuAdministration</span></a> continues to appall.</p><p>Even more disturbing is the complicit silence from so many of the congressional <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/democrats" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>democrats</span></a> .</p><p>(I don&#39;t expect better from today&#39;s <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/GOP" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>GOP</span></a>, who clearly admire pointless brutality.)</p><p><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2025/mar/25/israel-military-calls-evacuate-northern-gaza-airstrikes-middle-east-crisis-latest-updates-news?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theguardian.com/world/live/202</span><span class="invisible">5/mar/25/israel-military-calls-evacuate-northern-gaza-airstrikes-middle-east-crisis-latest-updates-news?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other</span></a></p>
