The Trump administration abandons ceasefire talks just as aid groups warn of "mass starvation" in Gaza, and Israeli officials admit to yet another murderous lie.
"They're going to have to finish the job." Trump talks about genocide like it's a household chore. He churns out lie after lie so effortlessly and without a smidge of embarrassment, if that's even possible.
"Hamas didn't really want to make a deal." That's funny; I can remember them making offers, but Israel declined them. It appears Trump is suffering from selective memory loss.
I can't contain my anger and disgust. These people are willing to lie to save their cowardly skins rather than stop this genocide and save lives. Palestinians are just collateral damage, right, Trump? Let your buddies in Israel finish the job and slaughter innocent people so you can get back to your precious golf. Big deal.
Every time I dare to have a little hope, I get a swift reality check when I read articles like this.
Human life has very little value when they inconvenience the elites. A heartbreaking read.
It is a wonder--even to those of us who understand the cynical, flagrant dishonesty and treachery of our own country, and its vicious, anti-human function in the world--that there is no bottom to our moral degradation, no limit to its fomentation of death and misery everywhere.
In WWII, America stood aloof from the Nazi Holocaust and rejected the few Jews that contrived to escape it. Now, it sponsors a holocaust of its very own, funding and supporting the rabid, genocidal murder fest of Nazi Israel. One has to wonder, too, how much sicker, dirtier and more hideous America can become before it is poisoned to death by its own infection.
Trump has no morals or empathy at all. He is one of the worst people on the planet. Biden was just as bad. We the people have to end this horror. By any means necessary. Do not stop fighting! FREE PALESTINE 🇵🇸
Aaron, you are one of the first I go to for information. You are calm but determined. Courageous through this nightmare. Persistent in your search for truth. You present your research with grace in a way that we can comprehend. Thanks for holding our hand to try to shine some light into the depths of darkness and hell. Please take some time to care for yourself while so many are surrounded with despair.
After the destruction of the Nazi regime in WWII the occupying powers of US, France, UK, and Russia made sure that Nazi ideology was forever banned in Germany. As for the Jewish survivors, the US and UK along with other Europeans decided to steal Palestinian lands as the new "Homeland" for the Jews--with absolutely zero input from the Palestinians themselves.
So began the decades of horror inflicted by the Zionazi fanatics against the Palestinians begining with land thefts and massacres to the more institutionalized forms of discrimination, to apartheid, to ethic cleansing, and now genocide.
It's curious how easily the Nazi ideology of the 'Master Race' has become that of the 'Chosen People' and the Nazi expansionist concept of 'Lebensraum' (living space) has become the idea of the 'Promised Land' of 'Greater Israel.' They have even copied the concept of turning concentration camps like Gaza into death camps like Auschwitz.
As we all watch in horror we must consider how the world must respond to this crime of the century. It seems to me that the settler colonial, racist, ethno-exclusionary, and genocidal Zionist state of Israel must cease to exist. A new Palestine must replace it and allow for the return of all Palestinians displaced by Israel since its founding. The Jews now living in Israel can either remain as equal citizens under Palestine, or pack up and leave. That is the only just outcome for this tragedy.
I finally blocked this fellow, Paul. It became obvious that he refuses to understand the facts. One could argue that Hamas and the Palestinians should not use violence. That applies MUCH MORE to the IDF AND violent US empire. The idea that a "democracy" votes for their representation must also be applied to the Palestinians. Of course, we do know that the Zionists and rabid Christian theocrats only uphold the rights of the usurpers. I concluded that Paul was trying to shape the discourse away from the actual facts. Therefore the 🚫 feature has been deployed. Thanks. I tried.
What we have here is a nasty fight between the Bloods (Israel) and the Crips (Hamas). Anyone (Norman Finkelstein, Aaron), who supports either gang is facilitating the ongoing rumble, and cannot credibly be interested in “humanitarian principles of humanity, neutrality, and impartiality.”
And the next tie you hear Aaron & Co. trot out the "open-air prison" canard," recall last week's plea from Mohammed Mansour of the Int'l Rescue Committee in Gaza: "Before the war, my family lived an ordinary life in Gaza City. My older daughter, Sela, went to school each morning with a backpack nearly her size. After work, we would visit relatives, share meals or take evening walks. Our lives were not without hardship, but they had structure, dignity and dreams. Now those days are distant." https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/24/opinion/gaza-hunger-children-rescue.html?unlocked_article_code=1.Y08.PYPv.wmKmHkg4YCYs&smid=url-share
"From the River to the Sea" has brought nothing but misery.
If only the Palestinians would have been happy to live under Israel’s boot while it “mowed the grass” (a charming euphemism for murder), shot 10 year old boys playing soccer on the beach, arrested and imprisoned Palestinians (including children) with no charges, restricted the calories they would allow in (seems like the Israelis have been practicing for starvation for a while now), controlled the power grid, visa application and so much more, then everything would be just perfect! They just needed to remember every single moment of every day who was Master and who was Slave.
And so the fighting (“fighting”—just in case you’ve forgotten that battles are taking place near, in front of, and beneath civilians—the deliberate Hamas “military”strategy—you ok with that, btw?)and suffering continues, and SW gets to feel righteous about it all.
The bullets are aimed at civilians trying to get food. This is not a military strategy cunningly planned by Hamas. This is starvation planned and executed by Israel, no one else is to blame.
What Israel has completely failed to understand is when you go scorched earth — slaughter everyone, bomb everything, starve anyone who managed to hang on — what you’ve got is a scorched earth and any claims to “righteousness” is destroyed along with it.
So you think the Crips would behave differently if they had the upper hand in this rumble?
And those Bloods are not very adept at "going scorched earth". According to the Crips Health Ministry, 95% of their shields are still alive. What's up with that?
THAT IS MY POINT in characterizing them as "The Bloods". Because I do know the history: neither gang, to include "The Crips", have been honest brokers for peace or justice.
It's called shared responsibility. And anyone who is cheering for either gang has the interests of Israelis or Gazans at heart. (To include Aaron, and the independent herd of subscribers/commenters to this site.)
I think your reasoning here is flawed, Sir. By International Law (not followed by US/NATO/Israel ever), the occupants of an open air prison have a legal right to resist.
A major point, mostly ignored, IS THAT GAZA has NO air force, navy, autonomy or much help. Israeli and US propaganda accuse Hamas of of using civilians as human shields. Israel has always intended to destroy these people that have been continuously displaced, killed and starved over 80+ years. You really need to listen and read 📚 on this issue.
Edward Said and many others have written truthful histories on the topic. Otherwise, you won't know. ✌️
There will be a two state solution or none at all.
Do you agree? Hamas does not and will not accept a Jewish sovereign state on any of the territories in Palestine/Holy Land.
The “open air prison” narrative is a canard. Stop parroting it. A fighting force that has “no air force, navy, autonomy or much help” but is able to fight against a military that does, is something other than a caretaker of an “open air prison.”
This is not a defense of the extreme government in power in Israel. I consider them as thuggish as their foes. And so there is a need for shared responsibility when it comes to resolving this long term. Only holding the IDF to account but not the exterminationist Islamists is merely conceding that no solution is possible.
This is not funny, but neither is the fact that you have not even mentioned freeing of the hostages, which would probably lead to an immediate ceasesfire and certainly an overall improvement for non-Hamas Palestinians. (You won't see any pictures of emaciated Hamas fighters, btw.)
I don't know what planet you are writing this from, but releasing Israeli hostages has led to no stopping of bombs or ending the siege, the last hostage released led to no ceasefire but increased massacres, and the one before to a very short ceasefire. The US and Israel continually lie and have no intention of stopping the carnage, genocide and ethnic cleansing. They are very clear and outspoken about this. And where now is there serious mention of the 10,000 Palestinian HOSTAGES held and tortured in Israeli dungeons? You cannot believe anything USrael says. Surely that's obvious by now after all these months. You might also research the Hannibal Directive.
I am sure the slowly dying Palestinians are using their last gasps to call for the release of those "10,000 hostages". (Planet reality, btw.)
And so Liana (from some comfortable non-affected, well-fed place on the planet) calls for continuing the conflict because the Bloods can't be trusted. Are you a Crip? Or just a sympathizer?
This person is not only a Zionist Jew and oddly proud of it, he is also a persistent and vacuous purveyor of their contemptible horseshit. What is he doing on this site? Aaron is a truthteller. Hasbara is not welcome here.
How long are you going to hide behind the lie you and others have adopted to comfort yourselves, protect yourselves, from the horrors Israel is implementing? It is no more then a cowards way out.

Paul Scneider you seem to know more about Hamas than most of us do. I wonder how that can be?
Get a life.
You really need to read a few books. 📚
This has gone on for many years. The US/NATO/Israel have NEVER been honest brokers for peace or justice. Read the history.
THAT IS MY POINT in characterizing them as "The Bloods". Because I do know the history: neither gang, to include "The Crips", have been honest brokers for peace or justice.
