WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump will nominate former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee as ambassador to Israel, Trump announced Tuesday.

Huckabee is a staunch defender of Israel and his intended nomination comes as Trump has promised to align U.S. foreign policy more closely with Israel’s interests as it wages wars against Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Excellent. Everything going to script.

In my continued quest to see if/when US/EU news sources will come out and call a spade a spade I have the irony of coming across something which is not actually as unique as it seems: that is, Israel's primary newspaper (for global audience, they also have one or two major internals which Israelis here can comment on) has run, with a lead, (opinion piece), entitled Maybe Israel is Committing Genocide After All?

The non-unique part is that Israeli newspapers like Haaretz have quite often condemned, outright, Israel's actions in Gaza and the West Bank when the US/EU press is too scared to say a word. Maybe it's the fact the within Israel there are 2.5~ Palestnian-Arab-Israelis who have full Israeli citizenship. I don't know quite frankly but it just goes to show how ridiculous the Western media's wall of silence is when the premier Israeli paper is itself now breaking that wall of silence.

The irritating part is it is pay-walled so we cannot read the full article. I suspect, but cannot know, that the author would pin it to Bibi and Ben Gvir and that regime rather than Israel as a whole but you never actually know because some of the most radical criticism of Israel, Israeli policy that is, comes directly from Israel. It's the western journalists and press houses that are a complete disgrace here.

Israeli court has rejected Netanyahu's appeal to delay his testimony in his trial, so he's supposed to take the stand in three weeks.

He's a shitty witness and really wants to avoid that.

So I wonder what might accidently happen between now and December 2nd. An attack on Iran? World War 3?

A staged assassination or coup attempt? The possibilities are endless yet so often highly specific with people like that.

See the moment of the bombing on the refugee tents: Dozens of children were killed and injured in an Israeli airstrike on the Al-Mawasi area, west of Khan Younis.

That's where people in northern Gaza move.

Haaretz is a very good publication

Haaretz is a very good publication

Which is why it's despised by many in Israel.

Monsters... Real monsters. Israel should suffer the worst sanctions ever seen, exclude them from everything that has to do with the west and eventually their citizens will run Netanyahu and his genocidal government out of the country.
