This insight is exactly what's missing in the major media reports about Israel already limiting aid to Gaza, just one day after 'end of war' celebration. Cruel and scandalous:
During Gaza negotiations, Israel understood it would take time to recover all bodies of deceased captives. A specific mechanism for recovering the bodies was agreed. Now Israel is pretending that didn’t happen so it can violate the deal and cut the agreed aid shipments in half.

Israel. In fact, the number one killer of LGBTQ+ people in Gaza is Israel. Thousands and thousands dead.
Who executes more LGBT people — Israel or Uganda? @ZohranKMamdani ?

Do you support an immediate end to all aid to Israel? Will you fight anti-boycott laws in your states? Will you ask that your employer boycott Israel? Will you demand your cities and states divest from Israeli bonds? Will you stand up for student protesters? What will you DO?
For the liberals who have come around to recognizing Israel's genocidal campaign, what are the implications besides Stop? Do you all support the war crimes prosecution of US citizens serving in the IDF? How does it shape your understanding of the Houthi leadership in Yemen?

#Israel *never* did this throughout the 13yrs when #Assad’s regime killed 500,000 people using bullets, bombs, chemical weapons & more. That speaks volumes.
NEW - footage shows #Israel’s strike just now at the entrance door to #Syria’s Defense Ministry, caught on live TV. https://t.co/0MItxBExmS

‘Humanitarian city’ would be concentration camp for Palestinians, says former Israeli PM Ehud Olmert says forcing people into camp would be ethnic cleansing, and anger at Israel over Gaza war is not all down to antisemitism

It is not just Democrats who are souring on Israel as it commits genocide in Gaza. So are many Republicans. The main question is when Trump will catch up.
The rapidly shifting MAGA discourse on Israel is bigger than it may seem at first: Tucker Carlson’s pointing the finger at Isreal’s Mossad as being behind Epstein’s operation is getting much attention, although this connection is being made widely in parts of the MAGA world. But

“Independent of whether one regards the legal threshold for genocide as met, the plan would violate the Genocide Convention’s prohibition on ‘deliberately inflicting conditions of life calculated to bring about [a group’s] physical destruction in whole or part,’” said @NancyGEO.
“The Israeli Government’s plan for Gaza is genocide” New statement from @CIPolicy’s @NancyGEO on the Israeli Security Cabinet-approved plan to fully take over Gaza, destroy remaining buildings, concentrate the entire population in a single zone and facilitate their displacement.

Yes, Trump's approval numbers are falling. But they must collapse much faster to outpace his potential death blows to American democracy. My country is racing towards a competitive authoritarian regime type. Unless we slow this collapse we'll be there well before the midterms.

On the anniversary of the 2003 Iraq war, I'm again reposting the anti-war ad in the @nytimes that I co-organized with 2 colleagues and which was signed by 33 IR scholars: "War in Iraq Is NOT in America's National Interest." Huge, avoidable disaster for the ME and world order.
