Editor: I don’t know about you, dear reader, but I have had enough of the incessant gaslighting coming from Israeli spokespeople, the IDF, and some media outlets in the U.S.
It’s almost as if they don’t realize that we have social media. Most people nowadays have tiny computers with screens that fit in your pocket.
These things allow you to read or watch the news from other countries!
Crazy, right? Haaretz and +972 Magazine are both out of Israel, and they report the truth of what is really going on in this “war.”
+972 Magazine broke the story about the IDF using AI to generate kill lists of Palestinians and a tracking software called “Where’s Daddy” that alerts soldiers when a man from the list arrives home.
Why? So they can take out his wife and children when they drop a bomb on him, of course!
Soldiers have spoken out saying the AI has been wrong, but there’s no human intervention involved other than the second it takes to verify that the target is male before ordering a strike.
Now the gaslighters want us to ignore what we see clearly on our pocket computer screen once again…
THE INTERCEPT
On Monday, a mob of Israeli settlers attacked aid trucks carrying food supplies to Gaza.
The extremists pillaged the cargo, destroying and smashing supplies desperately needed more than half a year into Israel’s assault on the besieged enclave.
Israel’s police and military traded blame, each saying the other should have prevented it, but a senior security official told Haaretz that the rioters received “inside information about the trucks’ movement” from officers.
The incident is emblematic of a pattern that has played out repeatedly for months.
Israelis, either vigilante extremists or state officials, block or outright attack humanitarian aid; the United States offers a milquetoast response or extends further favor to Israel; the violence continues and even ramps up.
There is ample evidence of the Israeli government looking the other way as these attacks and obstructions on aid delivery play out.
None of it is secret — much of it has been documented on camera and spread through social media.
Yet, the State Department, in a long-awaited report on whether Israel was complying with international humanitarian law as it used American weapons, concluded last week that Israel is not blocking aid.
The State Department said that it had “deep concerns” about “action and inaction” by the Israeli government resulting in aid delivery to Gaza that “remains insufficient,” but concluded there was not enough evidence to justify cutting off assistance to Israel’s military.
Allison McManus, managing director of the national security and international policy department at the Center for American Progress, said the State Department’s findings are undercut by “the very obvious fact” of indiscriminate attacks on aid workers and civilians in Gaza.
