US Amb to Israel Mike Huckabee made official visit Israeli settlement Shilo and met with head of Yesha council Israel Ganz, who is openly pushing for Israeli annexation of entire West Bank. I believe this is a first for a US official. Courtesy @arik3000

This is an absolutely stinging rebuke of anyone and everyone that has turned a blind eye to what the Israeli government is doing to Gaza and the hostages. '...the more those who remain silent or cowed from speaking out will be complicit.' The @FT is correct.
Opinion from the FT's Editorial Board: 'The US and European countries that tout Israel as an ally that shares their values have issued barely a word of condemnation. They should be ashamed of their silence, and stop enabling Netanyahu to act with impunity.' ft.com/content/f5fd6f8d-06a7โ€ฆ

Yarden Bibas is begging the governmentโ€”stop the war, youโ€™re killing the Hostages. "Thatโ€™s how I lost Shiri, Ariel, and little Kfir. The army pressure is putting the hostages in danger. A deal will bring them home. Iโ€™m terrified for my friends, David and Ariel Cuneo. I already lost Shiri, Ariel, and Kfir, but David can still come back. We have to stop the fighting and bring everyone home. That has to come first.โ€

Absolutely nuts. From a "buffer zone" three months ago to talking about an invasion of the Syrian capital
๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ #BREAKING: Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and Defense Minister Katz have instructed the IDF to prepare to defend the Druze village of Jaramana, located on the outskirts of Damascus, which is currently under attack by Syrian regime forces: "We will not allow the extremist Islamic regime in Syria to harm the Druze. If the regime harms the Druze, it will be harmed by us."

๐Ÿ’ฅAfter Netanyahu threw around details of the Bibas murders for a ๐Ÿ‘๐ซ๐ time, this time to @AIPAC, ignoring the family's supplications, Ofri Bibas Levy, Yarden's sister: "We are learning new details via the media and the prime minister. This is pure torture for the family."

๐Ÿ’ฅHe doesn't hide it. For Netanyahu the Bibas family are not real people, they're useful props. It's a lesson some 75% of Israelis have taken to heart.
๐Ÿ’ฅDespite the Bibas family begging him not to use the family's tragedy, Netanyahu brandished their picture at the IDF officers graduation ceremony & repeated details of their killing. Members of the public stood & turned their back to himโ€“some yelling "why didn't you save them?!"

Remember that there were more IDF troops protecting illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank on Oct. 7 than there were in southern Israel near Gaza. Those reckless, expansionist policies have not changed, in fact they have accelerated.

This is the key change in Israel since October 7
The speed at which Israel went from "The Nakba never happened, it is a lie" to "Shut up or we will Nakba you again" to "Nakba here, Nakba there, Nakba, Nakba everywhere!" is pretty astonishing and, well, revealing.

Since the start of the โ€œceasefire,โ€ israel allowed only 120 patients to leave Gaza. Israel is not allowing field hospitals to enter Gaza. Only 76 medical trucks entered Gaza. The medicine in them is not the most needed. There is a list of 35,000 patients who need treatment only found outside of Gaza. 40 per cent of the kidney patients died.

Netanyahu says Trump proposal for ethnic cleansing of Gaza is the โ€œday after plan.โ€ He says it can only come once Hamas is destroyed. So then, itโ€™s not about removing Hamas. Itโ€™s about disappearing Palestinians
