Dispatch #120 White Lesbian Age 71 Considers the Brutality & Savagery of Israel’s Genocide Campaign on Palestinians in Gaza Continuing with Biden’s Full Support

Dec. 28th 2023   

1072 Days Since Inauguration of First Woman Vice-President

26 Days Until the 2024 Presidential Primaries Begin 

552 Days Since Supreme Court Ruled Women Don’t Have Human Rights

Israel has steadily driven/corralled Palestinians into smaller spaces, and then proceeds to saturation bomb these areas, killing and maiming hundreds of Palestinians at a time.  Netanyahu recently declared that the “war” aka massacring Palestinians will continue for several more months.

More than 30,000 Palestinians killed – at least 21,500 reported by the Gaza Health Ministry plus more than 8,000 buried under the rubble – with more than 55,600 reported injured. NB: death toll no longer includes new casualties in the north where all hospitals are closed. The collateral consequences of Israel’s war crimes now mean mounting deaths due to starvation, communicable diseases, and complete collapse of the medical care system.

With complete impunity, as the world watches, Israel destroys Gaza and makes plans for the forced emigration of Palestinians. IDF terrorism literally aimed at Palestinians in the West Bank escalates daily.  Since October 7, Israel jails more than 4800 Palestinians

indefinitely, kills at least 300 Palestinians, bombs, bulldozes, and ransacks thousands of homes. The world watches as the US systematically renders the UN powerless and the requirements of international law meaningless.  

Israel has killed – much credible evidence exists for deliberate killing -- at least 105 journalists in Gaza and, at this moment, cuts all communications access to Gaza. No independent journalists are allowed to enter Gaza.  Reports filter out that Israeli snipers are everywhere killing anything that moves, that IDF soldiers are rounding up hundreds of Palestinians men and boys and holding them in conditions reminiscent of Abu Ghraib, that prisoner executions and point-blank shootings of families are taking place.  The veracity of these reports cannot be determined without independent reporting,  Despite its iron-clad impunity, Israel wants to ensure that true nature of its assault on Gaza remains hidden.

End ‘unlawful killings’ in occupied West Bank, UN tells Israel

The United Nations has called on Israel to end “unlawful killings” and settler violence in the occupied West Bank, warning of a rapidly deteriorating human rights situation during intensified Israeli raids. In a report published on Thursday, the UN Human Rights Office detailed a “sharp increase” in air strikes and military incursions into densely populated refugee camps, resulting in deaths, injuries and widespread damage to civilian infrastructure in the occupied territory. www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/12/28/end-unlawful-killings-in-occupied-west-bank-un-tells-israel-2
