Common Dreams:
"Israeli Politician Quotes Hitler to Argue for Resettlement of Gaza. Former Israeli Knesset member Moshe Feiglin quoted Adolf Hitler as he called for Israel to resettle the Gaza Strip and create a 'Hebrew Gaza.'

Feiglin, who quit Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud Party to found the right-wing Zehut Party and plans to challenge Likud in Israel's next elections, made the comments during a panel discussion on Israel's Channel 12 that was shared on social media on Sunday, as Middle East Eye reported.

'We are not guests in our country, this is our country, all of it...' Feiglin said, adding, 'As Hitler said, 'I cannot live if one Jew is left.' We can't live here if one 'Islamo-Nazi' remains in Gaza."

-->This story really links Israeli thinking with the mind of Adolf Hitler. Feiglin claims the right to mass murder,and it is clearly in retribution for the Holocaust. The NYT didn't print this story. Maybe because it shows the genocide that the US is supporting.

The Intercept:
"Israel’s New Air War in the West Bank: Nearly Half of the Dead are Children. ... The world’s attention has been on the Israeli campaign in Gaza, which has killed at least 36,000 people — including more than 15,000 children — and prompted accusations of genocide from U.N. officials and at the International Court of Justice. In the name of eliminating Hamas in retaliation for the attacks in October, the Israeli military action in the Gaza Strip continues.

But Israel has also transformed its tactics in the West Bank. Since June of last year, and with increasing regularity during the Gaza offensive, the Israel Defense Forces have shown a new willingness to use air power in the West Bank, regardless of the collateral damage to children and other civilians caught in the blasts.

An open-source Intercept investigation documented at least 37 Israeli airstrikes, drone strikes, and attacks by helicopter gunships in the West Bank since June 2023, which have killed 55 Palestinians, according to the United Nations. Most attacks struck densely populated urban areas and refugee camps in Jenin, Tulkarem, and Nablus, all in the northern part of the West Bank."

-->The West Bank is turning into a killing field, but our media mostly ignores this fact. The NYT didn't think it was worth printing.

Aljazeera:
"50,000 Gaza children require urgent treatment for malnutrition: UN. ... In a statement on Saturday, the agency noted 'with continued restrictions to humanitarian access, people in Gaza continue to face desperate levels of hunger. UNRWA teams work tirelessly to reach families with aid, but the situation is catastrophic'.

On Wednesday, UNICEF had a mission to drive a truck full of nutritional and medical supplies for 10,000 children, Elder said. Their task was to deliver the aid, which was pre-approved by Israeli authorities, [a 25 mile] round trip.

'It took 13 hours and we spent eight of those around checkpoints, arguing around paperwork – ‘was it a truck or a van’,” he said. 'The reality is this truck was denied access. Those 10,000 children did not get that aid … Israel as the occupying power has the legal responsibility to facilitate that aid'.”

-->In truth, the NYT is the newspaper of the genocide, always playing it down and hiding the dirty little secrets of Israel's mass murder. But truth will out someday, and the terrorist state of Israel will collapse, freeing millions of Palestinians. We the people can work for that day, when Israel's war crimes become visible to the entire world.
