    Another deflection.
    Start blaming someone else so they're not thinking about your sins.
    Don't mention zionist lobbyists attempting to influence the public's thinking and American politics with propaganda.
    Don't mention that all politicians are biased and peddle their agendas.
    Don't mention America's meddlings in the Middle East.
    Don't mention its American bombs right this moment killing thousands of innocent lives.
    Don't mention you are a fucking hypocrite and also you happen to be Jewish.
    Don't mention it's American taxpayer dollars fueling a war.
    Don't mention that you Blinken have been useless to stop the killings and land stealing.

    Protesters shout, ‘Shame on you’, outside White House correspondents dinner

    It’s astonishing. We’ve never seen a White House correspondent’s dinner like this.

    At the Washington Hilton, the president is here to speak while being warmly applauded by the national US press core.

    But these VIPs are all dressed up in the evening finery, and they have to run the gauntlet of hundreds of protesters out here who are shouting, “Shame on you”.

    “Shame on you” for breaking bread when there are 140 journalists dead as a result of, as far as they say, Biden’s complicity in their murder.

    Qatari official tells Israeli media ‘every time we get close to a deal there’s sabotage’

    The Israeli newspaper Haaretz has conducted a special interview with Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Majed al-Ansari.

    In the interview, al-Ansari discussed Qatar’s frustration with Hamas and Israel regarding their conduct during the truce talks.

    “We were hoping to see more commitment and more seriousness on both sides. We are, with the help of our international partners, hoping that we can pressure both sides to an agreement, but right now, we are seeing from both sides a lot of lack of commitment to the process itself and to the mediation”, al-Ansari said.

    Al-Ansari stated that if Qatar sees their mediation efforts as “a hopeless endeavour,” then the government would “need to reassess” its position because, he added, “we do not want to be used as part of prolonging this conflict.”

    Israel rebukes US calls for investigation into mass graves in Gaza
    “Investigate what?” an Israel Defense Forces spokesperson said.

    Israel’s military says it already looked into reports of mass graves and found no wrongdoing by its forces, even as the Biden administration calls for an investigation into the matter.

    Over the past few days, U.S. officials, including national security adviser Jake Sullivan, have called for Israel to “thoroughly and transparently” investigate reports of mass graves at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, which Israeli forces last raided in February. The State Department came under fire from advocates for refusing to call for an independent investigation, instead saying the U.S. will press Israel for information.

    When POLITICO asked Israel Defense Forces spokesperson Nadav Shoshani whether Israel plans on investigating, he at first waived off the question, calling the reports “fake news.”

    Asked if that means Israel won’t investigate the mass grave reports, Shoshani said: “Investigate what?” He then added that Israel has already looked into the matter and found that there was no wrongdoing. “We gave answers. We don’t bury people in mass graves. Not something we do.”

    Shoshani didn’t provide details of that investigation or who Israel provided answers to specifically.

    “The Israelis have told us privately what they’ve said publicly, that they totally reject the allegations,” said a U.S. official, granted anonymity to detail private conversations. “We aren’t in a position to validate that, and would like a thorough and transparent investigation into the reports.” The White House and the State Department declined to comment.

    At least two of the three burial sites were dug prior to Israeli troops arriving, The New York Times reported. But the Gaza Civil Defense said only about 100 people were buried in graves before the IDF raid, and a total of 392 bodies were recovered.

    Experts don’t believe there would be accountability if Israel investigates: “It is hard to see any real accountability or change coming out of that, said Mairav Zonszein, an analyst with the International Crisis Group.

    “Simply asking Israel to investigate itself is meaningless,” said Khaled Elgindy, the Middle East Institute’s director of the program on Palestine and Israeli-Palestinian affairs.

    They both cited the death of Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, who was found to have been likely killed by an Israeli soldier while reporting in the West Bank in 2022. No one was held accountable.

    But Israel did react swiftly following its deadly strike on World Central Kitchen aid workers on April 1, dismissing two officers and reprimanding three others involved in the attack, which Israel deemed a mistake. The strike killed seven people, including an American-Canadian dual citizen.

    After news of the mass graves broke, the Israeli military said its troops had exhumed bodies, in a respectful manner, that Palestinians had previously buried as they searched for remaining hostages. Those not belonging to Israeli hostages were returned to the graves, the military said. European Union and United Nations leaders have called for an independent investigation.

    “This is really gruesome, gruesome stuff,” said Yousef Munayyer, head of Palestine/Israel Program at Arab Center Washington D.C., citing reports that some people buried had their hands tied.

    If Israel is found culpable, it could bolster the case that the Israeli military has violated international humanitarian law during its war with Hamas. Though U.S. lawmakers have been silent about the graves so far, outspoken critics of Washington’s military assistance to Israel could seize on the report as another reason to stop sending weapons to Israel.

    “A lot of people are losing faith in the administration’s handling” of allegations of human rights violations by Israel, Munayyer said.

    We’re in ‘constant deliberations’ with Israel and Hamas: Egypt foreign minister

    Egypt’s Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry called on the U.S. to leverage its influence over Israel to prevent further bloodshed in Gaza.

    Speaking to CNBC’s Dan Murphy on Sunday at a World Economic Forum meeting in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, he said “only the United States has the overall ability to influence conditions, and to motivate all sides concerned to find the point of convergence, and to be able to break the cycle of violence.”

    His words echoed other Arab leaders at the WEF meeting who believe that ending the war in Gaza falls on the United States. Shoukry pushed Washington to “leverage their ability to provide incentives, but also to indicate consequences for the lack of achievement or the lack of progress in the cessation of hostilities.”

    Hamas is reportedly reviewing Israel’s latest Gaza cease-fire proposal and a delegation from the group is scheduled to visit Cairo on Monday for talks, according to a Hamas official who spoke to Reuters.

    The new proposal, spearheaded by Egypt, aims to halt a potential assault on Rafah, the southern Gaza city where over a million people are sheltering.

    Israel has threatened to enter the city on Egypt’s border for weeks, against warnings from allies who have called on Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to halt the assault. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has also called on the United States to stop the attack on Rafah.

    U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken will visit Saudi Arabia on Monday on his way from China to Jordan and Israel, where he is expected to “discuss ongoing efforts to achieve a ceasefire in Gaza that secures the release of hostages and how it is Hamas that is standing between the Palestinian people and a ceasefire.”

    Israel has cut food and water supplies to the Gaza Strip, home to roughly 2.3 million people, after the Hamas-led terror attacks of Oct. 7 that killed some 1,200 people in Israel and took a further 253 hostage. The subsequent Israeli aerial bombardment and land invasion has killed more than 34,000 people in Gaza, according to the Hamas-run health ministry there.
