Israel's blockade has starved and strangled Gaza since 2006

A mosque in Gaza, bombed by Israeli military in 2009

Gaza has been under siege - an illegal blockade that violates international law, a per se war crime - since Hamas won the 2006 election.

That blockade is the genocidal starving of the people to force regime change.

This past week's response was a simple act of self-defense, it's apparent ugliness an asymmetric response that is tiny in comparison to the massive ugliness of starving a city of 2 million in the worlds largest outdoor prison for the last past 17 years.

Biden, Schumer, McConnell, Pelosi, Jeffries and 530+/- members of Congress - and other US officials - are directly culpable.


Cynthia - being Cynthia - dusted herself off after her first encounter and tried again to deliver supplies to the people of Gaza, under blockade by Israel to force a regime change after the 2006 election of Hamas.
She found herself in Ramallah prison and called me from there - listen to that call here

Several large US pension funds, foundations, and university endowments are also invested in Ukrainian land through NCH Capital – a US-based private equity fund, which is the fifth largest landholder in the country. How is the takeover of agricultural land happening? Whereas at least 4.3 million hectares are (as of March of last year) already controlled by agribusinesses in Ukraine,

The Ghost of October 1962 Hovers Over Us

"Above all, while defending our own vital interests, nuclear powers must avert those confrontations which bring an adversary to the choice of either a humiliating defeat or a nuclear war." Those words were delivered in June, 1963 by then-President John F. Kennedy at American University in Washington, DC. It was the conclusory lesson he drew from the so-called Cuban Missile Crisis the previous year. An entirely different dynamic exists now between the White House, the Pentagon and the CIA than existed in October, 1962 "Listen. You tell them those chains of command end at one place - me!" - President John F. Kennedy to Kenneth O'Donnell regarding Joint Chiefs of Staff during the Cuban Missile Crisis, per Thirteen Days by Robert F. Kennedy, Sr. And for those who believe that the US can continue to give Ukraine bombs to drop on Russia without Russia holding the US culpable, there's this from that same book: "A missile is a missile...it makes no great differ
