At this point I’m convinced these outlets are taking turns seeing who can come up with the most absurd and problematic view on Palestine. This week it’s the idiots at the Wall Street Journal stepping bravely into the spotlight with this audacious headline, “Overvaluing Hostages Is Israel’s Weakness”, apparently encouraging the apartheid state to adopt the attitude that prime minister Benny Netanyahu has already taken: Forget about the hostages, let them die in captivity. The top priority now is demolishing Gaza.
And in this priority, the genocidal military is making great strides. Take a look at these before and after images illustrating the extent of the destruction to Gaza’s medical facilities. By now, 84% of the health facilities in Gaza have been affected by the ongoing bombings, and only 4 out of 22 health facilities in the besieged area are still even remotely operational.
A new poll by the hilariously named “Israel Democracy Institute” shows that approximately half of Israelis would oppose any deal to end the genocide if it includes Palestinian statehood and peace agreements with other Arab countries. Half of the Israelis polled don't want Palestinians to exist as normal human beings, as citizens in their own country, but would prefer to keep them as stateless refugees sweeping Israeli streets and cleaning Israeli toilets. Or, alternatively, these Israelis are happy to see Palestinians removed completely from their homes so that the Israeli settlers can occupy what’s left of Palestine and enjoy their land and property untroubled by the presence of the indigenous population.

Seize the Towers: The city of Los Angeles has decided to spend its precious resources arresting people who recently spray painted graffiti all over a group of abandoned luxury apartment buildings. Looking at the footage, almost every floor of the dormant ‘Oceanwide Plaza’ luxury development in downtown LA was colorfully tagged. The billion dollar project was stalled 5 years ago when the Chinese developer ran out of funding, and the buildings have sat empty the entire time. Keep in mind no one is harmed by graffiti. Meanwhile, 5 unhoused people die every single day on the streets of LA next to empty buildings just like these
A Potion for Your Maladies M’lord?: After the recent reveal that King Charles is battling cancer, a ‘royal expert’ hopped on TV to reassure us that, “The King will not be one for chemotherapy, he has always argued against it. He's a great believer in natural herbs, potions and things like that.” My congratulations to the people of the UK for their impending holiday and extended period of mourning, cuz wherever that old man is, he’s already on his death bed
