Very comprehensive piece. There are a lot of opinion news articles which is fine, but we need the complete story that is difficult to get from our newspapers these days. So I will remain a paid supporter because of the hard and comprehensive work that Jeremy does to put this sort of thing together. I am of course beyond horrified at Israel's conduct and it is a most upsetting thing for this 73 year old man who thought he had seen it all.

It is really sad how American main stream news media has become a tool of the zionists.

In reality israel not Hamas is the terrorist organization.

Spinning extermination of the Palestinians as if its a war instead of a slaughter.

"Has become?" When wasn't it? I remember back in the 1990s when NPR (National Pentagon Radio) started calling the area of the Al Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock, "Temple Mount." Every broadcast on the subject was pro-Israel, before that and probably since. I stopped listening about then.

Maybe I should of said has always been.

I can’t agree. Hamas is punitive to Palestinians who aren’t “devout” enough. Gazans are twice-occupied.

Thank you Jeremy, it seems the capital of the United States has been moved to Jerusalem.

How many of us believe anything the Zionist/Israel says!

Have any of you western 'empire freaks' realised where we are going?

This is becoming an 'internal war' in the USA and many western nations. BUT the US will suffer the most. WHY? Because you have been propagandized' to believe that Muslims are bad and Christians are good! This does not mean other western media is different BUT some of us in Europe have brains that are still working because of decent education. We have been through religious wars for decades.

DO you realise that YOUR 'Evangelical Christians' support the Zionists? They are being very quiet lately....are they still 'book burning' and shutting down libraries?

I can see the future of the USA: A Country dominated by religion/owned by Zionism. Actually you are already there.

THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN STOP THIS IS: Shut down Mainstream Media. (MSM) This means you go to their headquarters and name names.

IF you do not do this.......you are begging for Civil War, which has already started.

Lastly: Your Govt. in the US is attacking Yemen to 'keep America safe!'

Give me a break.

You in the USA don' even know Geography.........how is Yemen a threat?

So the GOP can quickly pressure Trump to pull Jared's mate Adam Boehler for making progress towards peace, putting egg all over Trump's face, but they can't stop the tariffs or the Musk wrecking ball. It shows how AIPAC runs the US. JD Vance was worried the 'optics' of bombing Houthis was bailing out Europe and Egypt. This new US administration didn't consider they were bailing out Israel, because they ARE Israel. Hegseth wanted to bomb harder than Biden. What will it take for Trump to realise he is Israel's useful idiot?

Hamas would be stupid to believe Trump can negotiate peace. He’s clearly targeting Israeli interests and continuing to fund the genocide, while kidnapping and deporting visa holders.

Hamas is forced to negotiate with people who do not keep their word. Nobody should be faced with the mean choice of accepting conditions as they are or abandoning the place he has grown up in. Those who want to leave have a right to, but those who want to stay and work for what they consider a better society must be protected in that right — for without it, a nation would sink into stagnation, and the process of change would harden into repression by those who benefit by keeping things just as they are.

DAWN has urged the ICC prosecutor to investigate and prosecute former President Biden, State Secretary Blinken and Defense Secretary Austin for their personal roles in aiding and abetting Israeli war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide in Gaza as part of his ongoing investigation into the situations in Palestine since 2014.

Let’s give them our support. Maybe they will expand their complaint to include this latest US administration, and include all the leaders of the western nations supporting this genocide.

We cannot allow Israel to escape the legal consequences of their war crimes. The Hind Rajab Foundation has, among other things, filed a case with the ICC against 1,000 Israeli soldiers for war crimes in Gaza.

They have taken further steps in recent days, and vacations are becoming a lot more difficult for IDF soldiers, worldwide. The Hind Rajab Foundation can use our help. Please join me in making a contribution.

You might find meaningful to watch the recent interviews that Glenn Greenwald did on his Rumble platform, and Ali Abunimah of the Electronic Intifada, did with the head of this organisation, Dyad Abou Jahjah. It was very informative.

Here's a petition calling for accountability for the arrest of Ali Abunimah in Switzerland:

We need to end this . A tactical nuclear detonation in Tel Aviv would stop the genocide of the indigenous populations of the area for all at least a few decades or so. As the radioactivity slowly decays Gaza can be slowly rebuilt. I know this proposal is crazy as is what we've been observing since the birth of Isreal and the genocide of Palestinians.

From the ashes of radioactive decay the Phoenix will rise.

Palestine will be free

as Isreal glows.

End this now Isreal.

We all have seen enough of your horrific actions.

Refuse Fascism

Oppose Oppression

People

Planet

Peace

dear comrades.

If I understand correctly, you are recommending stopping a genocide by committing one, just on a different populace? Becoming one's enemy is the surest way to moral, and, in this case, very likely physical, disaster.

I believe Palestinians would find this petulant thought-bubble to be abhorrent and disrespectful of their tragic struggle for peace. It's disrespectful to Jeremy's excellent work too.
