I still struggle to understand how we allowed and even assisted this genocide …which may not be over by a long shot! But I did wonder if Trump was serious or as usual, just talking out his ass! He did seem like he was on the verge of dry humping a map of Gaza
The Democratic Party through its most prominent operatives demanded that we get behind Netanyahu and cheerlead for a genocide. They were in power and thus were responsible. Now Republicans are in power, are responsible, and demanding the same s--t. Both parties serve the same wealthy ruling class, and both directed their minions to support it.
I hear that Trump just gave Ukraine to Putin and pulled out of support of NATO. He wants to isolate this country from its former allies, starting again this term with Canada and Mexico. With no consistent policy, two corrupt parties serving oligarchy, and a corrupted SCOTUS, who can trust this country?
Foreign "policy" for decades has been about serving the interests of moneymaking for corporations and private equity. Both have commandeered the American military to enable this.
Unexploded ordinance has been the source of munitions for the Palestinian resistance forces in the past. The IOF have just provided these resistance fighters with materiel to respond to Israel's next aggression.
The number of journalists killed in Gaza in such a short period of time bothers me spiritually, of course, but something else bothers me. What was the real reason for the bombing? It had to be more than an ideology or a brutality innate to humans fighting a genocidal war.
For example in Laos during the american Indochina war, 10 years of US air bombings done in secret by the CIA between 1964-1973 have given Laos the tragic title of the most heavily bombed country (per capita) in the history of warfare. The equivalent of a planeload of bombs were dropped every 8 minutes, 24-hours a day, for 9 years. Over two million metric tons of ordnance were dropped by US war planes in Laos, equalling about 4/5 of a metric ton for every person in the country. Some historians outside the united states have said that the reason for bombing was to eradicate communism and it was assumed every person in the country was an enemy. I can understand that, but I believe there has to be a deeper reason for that much wanton violence.
Was there a history, an archaeology, a technology, or ideas in the Plain of Jars or Gaza that had to be wiped out that was more important that lay beyond mere monetary or military objectives?
I am almost near certain that Netanyahu and his gangster government are already greasing the palms of corrupt American politicians to send in our youth in the military to clean Gaza of defective ordnance and mines so Israel can annex it safely and oligarchs can build their seaside resorts. Anyone who objects will likely be labeled "antisemitic" and have their Facebook accounts suspended.
Shameful. Many yet to be maimed and killed. The International Community must speak up to allow in machinery to help clear these unexploded weapons.

The good news (maybe)
The Phoenix will rise ever so slowly but rise they will.
Did I also hear that the Ukraine/Russia conflict may be coming to an end✌

The US and the West should all pay for a Palestinian Holocaust Monument to be
erected in GAZA and the UN headquarters NEW YORK.
Trump now brings us “real-estate foreign policy”.

is there any plan at all to start removing unexploded munitions or is this situation only going to give the Trump scenario more leverage?
Oh yes. Our young people are likely to be sent in to risk their lives cleaning up defective ordnance is the plan I am betting on.
