Deep dives

Israel's Brutal Assault on Gaza

Israel is carrying out a genocidal assault on Gaza, with the United States providing direct support and diplomatic cover. This assault is resulting in a high civilian death toll, including children and medical professionals. Israel is using indiscriminate bombing tactics, including the use of dumb bombs and bunker buster bombs, causing massive destruction and loss of life. The US administration, despite preaching diversity and inclusion, is directly involved in this genocide and is blocking efforts to stop the violence. Israel is also targeting hospitals and medical facilities, deliberately attacking infrastructure critical for functioning society. The US has turned a blind eye to Israel's violations of human rights laws and continues to provide weapons without conducting proper assessments. The international community is failing to effectively address this catastrophic situation, and the mainstream media's coverage and complicity in Israeli propaganda contribute to the ongoing atrocities.
