" 'Moral Insanity: Biden Admin Bypasses Congress to Rush Tank Shells to Israel
'Rushing deadly weapons to the far-right and openly genocidal Israeli government without congressional review robs American voters of their voice in Congress,' said one critic.
Hours after United States Ambassador Robert Wood on Friday acted alone to veto a United Nations Security Council resolution demanding an immediate cease-fire in Gaza, the Biden administration again illustrated its growing isolation in continuing to back Israel's onslaught as it bypassed Congress to send more weapons to the country's extreme right-wing government. ...
Also on Saturday, the global charity Save the Children warned that at least 7,685 children under age five in Gaza are now so malnourished—a result of Israel's total blockade of the enclave that began in October and the delivery of just a small fraction of the aid that is needed that they require 'urgent medical treatment to avoid death.'

-->Biden now owns this genocide in Gaza. Instead of voting for a cease fire, and rushing food to thousands of children, he is sending Israel more tank shells. How is this possible in a civilized society? Does the empire think about anything besides military superiority? At at all costs? The NYT avoided parts of this story, like the starvation of children.

"UK Union Workers Blockade Plants Arming Israel. 'We stand here ashamed that the weapons used in the ongoing ethnic cleansing of Palestine are partly made on our own doorstep,' one participating doctor said.
More than 1,000 union members with Workers for a Free Palestine blockaded four weapons factories in the United Kingdom Thursday that make components for planes being used by Israel to bomb Gaza. The workers, who include teachers and healthcare and hospitality professionals, said they had shut down plants in Bournemouth, Lancashire, Brighton, and Glasgow. ...
All of the plants targeted by the workers make components for the F-35 fighter jet. Israel has killed 21,731 people in Gaza since October 7, including 8,697 children, according to Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor. The Geneva-based group said the death toll has risen by 40% since a temporary cease-fire ended last week."

" 'Don't Let Fabricated Outrage 'Distract From Genocidal Violence in Gaza,' Says Naomi Klein. 'Keep sharing reports from Gaza,' said the author and activist. 'Israel is freaking out at the implications, which is why the distraction machine is in overdrive.'
Author and rights advocate Naomi Klein warned late Wednesday that supporters of a permanent cease-fire in Gaza must stay focused on one thing—Israel's mass killing of civilians in the blockaded enclave, a violation of international law—and resist efforts to distract the public from the issue at hand.
'The distraction machine is in overdrive,' said Klein on social media after more than a day of commentary and outrage directed at the presidents of three top universities after they testified before the U.S. House Education and Workforce Committee at a hearing titled 'Holding Campus Leaders Accountable and Confronting Antisemitism.' "

-->Our major media is into this story big time. It is such a good distraction from the issue of the day, the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. The NYT didn't print Naomi Klein's warnings.
