Two corrections: This isn't a war; it is genocide. How else to label a situation in which one side is bankrolled and supplied the latest in weaponry by the United States, the lone superpower. The other side -- the Palestinians -- have rocks, grenades, and low-grade missiles that do little damage by comparison. When one side -- the Zionists -- can cut off water, electricity, food, and communications at its leisure to a population of millions consisting mostly of children, there's no other definition other than genocide that fits. Israel has so far killed 30,000+ civilians, 109 journalists, numerous UN workers, and 70 percent of Gaza's fatalities have been women and children. They have taken out far more innocents than Hamas. So please, don't use the term "war" when writing about this situation. Stop watching corporate media and listening to politicians, all of whom have an unquenchable bloodlust for Muslim toddlers and mothers. As far as Biden and Bibi supposedly not speaking in a month, I call BS. This is the Biden Administration's way of distancing itself from the Gaza genocide, which is extremely unpopular here in the U.S., particularly among younger voters. Their alleged fallout is bread and circuses for the masses, nothing more. #FreePalestine
