the empire continues to serve its masters: the zionist neo cons. it rattles sanctions occasionally to satisfy the code pink sorts but keeps sending death which displays its real thinking;

The announcement on Thursday that Hamas leader Yahiya Sinwar was killed in an Israeli attack on Gaza has spurred some to speculate that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu might “take the win” and finally negotiate a prisoner exchange and ceasefire deal for the Gaza Strip. That belief bolsters the hope raised for some by a letter released earlier this week from Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin to Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant asking Israel to ease its ban on food and other life-sustaining materials from entering Northern Gaza, lest there be “implications” for the rapid pipeline of massive armaments from the United States to Israel. 

Those who have raised such hopes have apparently not been paying attention for the past year.

From the beginning of Israel’s genocide project in Gaza, there have been massive violations of international law and human rights abuses as ugly as any in history. These have been documented with a clarity that is unprecedented during a genocide, largely due to the fact that Israel has made no secret of them and their soldiers have been consistently and proudly broadcasting their crimes. 

That has not impeded the flow of arms to Israel in the slightest. Even when the United Kingdom cut just a few military contracts or when France’s president called for an end to offensive arms shipments to Israel, the weapons from Washington (and Germany as well) continued to flow. Joe Biden’s administration has repeatedly broken U.S. law, including having Blinken mislead Congress about Israel’s facilitation of aid transfers to the people of Gaza, and may well have doomed its own political party to defeat with its insistence on sustaining the worst genocide of the 21st century. .......more.......
