Mondoweiss:
"Israel’s destruction of Gaza grinds on without pause or limit. The army has confirmed plans to invade Gaza City and occupy it, forcing Palestinians to choose between yet another round of displacement or staying to face certain attack. In neighborhoods like Shuja’iyya — once home to 120,000 people — there is nothing left to return to.

This is not a temporary escalation or a breakdown in diplomacy. As Qassam Muaddi reports, Netanyahu’s government is openly preparing for the permanent occupation of Gaza, dangling the prospect of ceasefire talks only to stall criticism and buy time. The U.S. political establishment still treats these theatrics as if they were genuine steps toward peace. They are not; they are covering for more killing.

Even Donald Trump has been forced to acknowledge the Israeli-created famine killing thousands in Gaza. But famine here is not an accident of war; it is a weapon, wielded with intent. As Ahmad Ibsais writes, genocide depends on silencing its witnesses, and Western governments and media have not only ignored it, but they have enabled it."

-->This analysis of a planned and executed genocide never makes it to US news outlets. The purpose of this war is to eradicate two million, but our media can't quite say that.

Consortium News:
"When I arrived in Guatemala in 1983 to cover the wars in Central America, which I would do for the next five years, the regime of General Efraín Ríos Montt was carrying out a scorched earth campaign, especially in the highlands of Quiche, Huehuetenango and Baja Verapaz. [Chris Hedges]

The campaign was modeled on the kill-anything-that moves tactics employed by the U.S. during the Vietnam War, an effort to eradicate and control the civilian population in areas dominated by the insurgents, who until 1983 were beating back the Guatemalan army.

The Guatemalan military savagely carried out massacre after massacre in the highlands against indigenous, including the wholesale murder of women, children and the elderly, and razed some 600 villages and towns. The number of disappearances and killings averaged 3,000 per month. President Jimmy Carter had cut most military aid to Guatemala in 1977. Israel, however, filled the void. It equipped the Guatemalan military with Israeli-manufactured Galil automatic rifles and Uzi submachine guns.

Israel advisors, estimated to be between 150 and 200, provided surveillance and interrogation training to police and military units. They assisted Ríos Montt in carrying out the 1982 coup that brought him to power. They helped plan Guatemala military sweeps that resembled their own erasure of Palestinian villages and massacres carried out in 1947 and 1948."

-->The NYT published an elaborate article about 37 Guatemalan women who were raped during this genocide. In all the pictures and the descriptions of the victims, the US is mentioned only once, and Israel gets no recognition at all.

Medecins Sans Frontieres:
"Despite claims by Israeli authorities that there is no limit on humanitarian aid entering Gaza, most major international NGOs have been unable to deliver a single truck of lifesaving supplies since 2 March.

Instead of clearing the growing backlog of goods, Israeli authorities have rejected requests from dozens of NGOs to bring in lifesaving goods, citing that these organisations are 'not authorized to deliver aid.' In July alone, over 60 requests were denied under this justification.

This obstruction has left millions of dollars’ worth of food, medicine, water, and shelter items stranded in warehouses across Jordan and Egypt, while Palestinians are being starved."

-->Israel is blatantly starving two million people. That's the basic fact that no major media has the stomach to report.
