    Netanyahu will go down in history as a genocidaire, says Colombia’s president

    Gustavo Petro and the Israeli prime minister are continuing to trade insults over the war in Gaza.

    The Colombian president, posting on X, said: “Mr Netanyahu, you will go down in history as a genocidaire. Dropping bombs on thousands of innocent children, women and elderly people does not make you a hero.”

    He compared Netanyahu with the Nazis who killed millions of Jews in Europe and said that “a genocide is a genocide”, regardless of the religion of those killed.

    Earlier, Netanyahu had called Petro “an anti-semtic supporter of Hamas” after the Colombian leader called for the Israeli prime minister’s arrest over the killing of Palestinians in Gaza.

    Israel’s war on Gaza live: Israeli forces ‘carpet bombing’ Jabalia

    By Lyndal Rowlands and Zaheena Rasheed
    Published On 12 May 2024

    Israeli forces are “carpet-bombing” Jabalia in northern Gaza, killing and wounding several Palestinians, media reports say. The attacks come as Israel launches a new ground assault there, months after announcing Hamas had been “dismantled” in the area.
    • Officials from the European Union and the United Nations warn against a major ground assault on Rafah after the Israeli military expands evacuation orders for the city sheltering 1.4 million Palestinians.
    Doctor in Jabalia describes dire situation in north Gaza
    Imad Abu Zayda, an emergency doctor in Jabalia, said intensified Israeli attacks on northern Gaza had put hospitals out of service even as the number of women and child casualties increase.

    “Most of the injuries we see today are children and women,” he told Al Jazeera. “There are no facilities here… We have no electricity in the hospital. Our solar panel system, batteries have shut down. Now we have no light in the hospital and there is no oxygen to give patients.”

    The definition of hypocrisy. Israel want as many people to know about the horror of the holocaust and how poor Jews were victims, but Israel will today kill journalists in the hope the world will remain ignorant of Gaza.

    Blinken delivers some of the strongest US public criticism of Israel’s conduct of the war in Gaza

    By JOSH BOAK May 13, 2024

    WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) — Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Sunday delivered some of the Biden administration’s strongest public criticism yet of Israel’s conduct of the war in Gaza, saying Israeli tactics have meant “a horrible loss of life of innocent civilians” but failed to neutralize Hamas leaders and fighters and could drive a lasting insurgency.

    In a pair of TV interviews, Blinken underscored that the United States believes Israeli forces should “get out of Gaza,” but also is waiting to see credible plans from Israel for security and governance in the territory after the war.

    Hamas has reemerged in parts of Gaza, Blinken said, and that “heavy action” by Israeli forces in the southern city of Rafah risks leaving America’s closest Mideast ally “holding the bag on an enduring insurgency.”

    .............................
    Thank you Biden & Blinken for total incompetency.
    Now let the duck shovelling and blaming begin as they try and worm out of responsibility.
    Ukraine getting hammered because they dropped the ball. Israel and promoting Zionism were more important to them.
    Looking forward to Democrats lose the Presidency next, then we'll really see the crying begin.
    In the meantime the world is turning against Israel, nice job, well done!
    Also the world is waking up, American / Western politics is just as corrupt as China or Russia, no difference. Yeah, nice job Biden & Blinken.

    Gaza prisoners endure ‘barbaric treatment, systematic torture’ by Israeli forces

    Prisoner rights group Addameer is calling for an International Criminal Court investigation into war crimes against Palestinian detainees and urges international action for accountability.

    In a report, Addameer described severe violations against prisoners, including systematic torture during interrogation, and assaults and brutal suppression in prisons like Ofer, Naqab (Negev) and others.

    Israeli soldiers, the group said, use dogs to attack prisoners. Many are shackled with steel handcuffs, leading to limb amputations, and all are subject to “a deliberate policy of starvation”.

    Detainees are not allowed to change their clothes or cut their hair, beard, or nails. Showers are few and far between. “They complained about the foul odours emanating from their clothes, saying they feel like they are living in a ‘livestock pen’,” Addameer said.

    The group said that there is a “reasonable basis to claim that the occupying forces are committing war crimes and crimes against humanity against prisoners from the Gaza Strip”, and it called on the Prosecutor of the ICC to conduct a special investigation into these crimes and to take necessary measures to hold all those responsible accountable.

    Sen. Lindsey Graham Suggests Nuking Gaza, Calls Hiroshima ‘the Right Decision’
    GOING ATOMIC Graham argued Israel would be justified in obliterating Gaza because America did it to Japan 80 years ago.

    Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) offered a baffling comparison of Israel’s war on Gaza to the U.S. decision to drop atomic bombs on Japan during World War II, telling Israel to “do whatever you have to do” to finish the military campaign.

    Speaking to NBC’s Kristin Welker on Meet the Press Sunday morning, Graham made the argument that Israel would be justified in slaughtering civilians in Gaza by likening the situation to the U.S.’s war with Japan eight decades ago. He suggested Israel would be right to flatten the Gaza strip—home to 2.2 million Palestinians, half of whom are children—simply because the U.S. did it to Hiroshima and Nagasaki in the 1940s.

    “So when we were faced with destruction as a nation after Pearl Harbor, fighting the Germans and the Japanese, we decided to end the war by bombing Hiroshima, Nagasaki, with nuclear weapons,” Graham began.

    The senator continued to call the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki “the right decision” by the U.S. That decision ended the war with Japan, but killed hundreds of thousands of Japanese civilians between the initial blasts and the deadly radiation that followed.

    “Give Israel the bombs they need to end the war they can’t afford to lose, and work with them to minimize casualties,” Graham insisted.

    It was unclear how he believed the U.S. and Israel could work to “minimize casualties,” since bombs tend not to discriminate between civilians and militants upon detonation.

    Graham’s comments were so extreme that even Welker was taken aback, unsuccessfully attempting to interject as the senator talked over her.

    “Can I say this?” Graham continued. “Why is it okay for America to drop two nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki to end their existential threat war? Why is it okay for us to do that? I thought it was okay.”

    Of course, the presumption that the U.S. was justified in nuking Japan to end World War II has been contested by historians and other critics for decades. Those bombs also decimated nearly all of Hiroshima’s and Nagasaki’s medical infrastructures, making it nearly impossible to deliver aid to the injured and dying, according to the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons.

    Graham’s comments came as Israel appears poised to launch a full-scale invasion of Rafah, which the U.N. and the Biden administration have warned would be catastrophic for the 1.4 million people sheltering there. On Sunday, as Graham went on national television to suggest incinerating Gaza, the U.N. secretary general pleaded once more to prevent the area from spiraling into all-out devastation.
