Trump ordered today another lethal strike in the Caribbean, killing everyone on board a vessel. The "elimination" of 6 more people is not law enforcement; it's extrajudicial murder. This illegal campaign, which has now claimed 27 lives, is part of war plan against Venezuela.

Horrifying details — Gaza’s Health Ministry received 45 bodies at Nasser Medical Complex after their release by the Israeli army. The bodies showed clear signs of severe torture, field execution, blindfolding, and abuse. The Red Cross pledged to provide the victims’ names later.

Nora Haddada at the Frankfurt Book Fair spoke of a 'discourse psychosis' in Germany that prevented an open condemnation of the Israeli genocide of the Palestinians in Gaza. 'The shit is really going down', she said. 'Silence is just one step down from cowardice'.

There is no revelation here but only a confirmation. The Republican Youth are basically like the Hitler-Jugend. Read this for illumination:

Trump did not make the ceasefire. The resistance of the Palestinians ensured that Israel could not ethnically cleanse Gaza and seize the land. Salute to the Palestinian people. Continue the struggle to end the genocide, the occupation, and the apartheid state. Let the Palestinian

(Palestine) The bombs have almost stopped falling for now. The Cemetery State of Israel has broken every agreement it has ever made. It's word means nothing. The genocide wouldn't have happened without US + European support; will they allow Israel to continue to commit war
