"On Monday, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan predicted that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will be tried as a war criminal in a manner similar to that in which former Serbian President Slobodan Milosvic was tried.
'Netanyahu, who is now the ‘Butcher of Gaza’, beyond being a war criminal, will definitely be tried AS the Butcher of Gaza just as Milosevic was judged,' Erdogan said while opening the meeting of the Economic and Trade Cooperation Committee of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation in Istanbul.
Milosevic was arrested in 2001 and accused by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia of being responsible for war crimes and genocide that occurred during the Balkan war in the early 1990s. ... Erdogan also criticized Western countries for giving 'unconditional support to Israel to kill more children' and blamed the United Nations for being an institution incapable of bringing peace or hope to humanity."

-->How refreshing it is to read the truth about Western countries that are complicit in the slaughter of thousands of Palestinian children. Why can't at least one or two of our supposed leaders say the obvious thing about the war crimes being committed in all our name?

Common Dreams:
"Luis Moreno Ocampo, the International Criminal Court's first chief prosecutor, said Friday that both Hamas and Israel perpetrated genocide—the Palestinian resistance group by murdering around 1,200 Israelis on October 7, and the Israeli government by besieging Gaza.
Appearing on Al Jazeera 's 'UpFront,' Moreno Ocampo said that 'you have Hamas committing war crimes... crimes against humanity, the crime committed in Israel on October 7... and probably genocide, because Hamas has [the] intention to destroy Israelis as a group.'
'Then, Israel's reaction also includes many crimes,' he continued. 'It's complicated to define the war crimes, because each bombing has to be evaluated. But there is something very clear: The siege of Gaza itself... is a form of genocide.'
'Article 2C of the Genocide Convention defines that you don't need to kill people to commit genocide,' the Argentinian jurist added. 'The rules say inflicting conditions to destroy the group, that itself is a genocide. So creating the siege itself is a genocide, and that is very clear.' "

-->Why can't our Western leaders say anything close to what the former chief prosecutor admitted? It's almost like the nation's media is in a pro-Israel trance, and doesn't really know what to do with all those body bags. Could all our Congressional representatives be paid off by the Israel Lobby? Of course they are!

"The last thing Americans need is a Bezos-backed investment company further consolidating single-family homes and putting homeownership out of reach for more and more people. Housing should be a right, not a speculative commodity.
Among the three richest people on the planet, mega-billionaire Amazon founder Jeff Bezos received some praise last week for announcing approximately $120 million in donations to a number of groups fighting the scourge of homelessness in the United States.
But hold your applause. Just days after word of the charitable gifts—a minuscule drop in the bucket compared to the estimated $170 billion fortune he possesses—a Bezos-controlled company called Arrived dropped $500 million of new investment in single-family homes with a venture fund that critics warn will make the nation's housing crisis even worse. ... The fund itself—called the Single Family Residential Fund—allows investors to purchase portions of various homes and later trade, hold, or redeem their 'chips' on a rolling basis like players at a casino."

-->The US media hasn't withheld their applause at all. In glowing words, Forbes praises this investment scheme, without the least bit of skepticism. The mainstream media just can't look beyond the thrill of reporting on billionaires. Of course, they are doing what's best for society!
