1) Israel has already broken the ceasefire terms by killing more Palestinians.

2) We’re sick of Israel blaming Hamas, who repeatedly offered to release all civilian hostages but were turned down at each “negotiation” by Israel.

3) It’s a GENOCIDE, not a war, @apnews.com, get it together.

BREAKING: Israel plans to halve aid into Gaza, accusing Hamas of violating ceasefire with slow release of dead hostages, AP sources say.

Israel plans to halve aid into Gaza over slow return of dead hostages, a test for the Gaza ceasefire

The tenuous ceasefire in the two-year Israel-Hamas war is being tested as complex issues remain a day after widespread jubilation over the return to Israel of the last 20 living hostages held in Gaza and the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners in exchange.

There are still hostages.

Israel has refused to release doctors Hussam Abu Safiya and Marwan Al-Hams, who were kidnapped in Gaza and are still being held as hostages and are being brutally tortured, along with other medical staff kidnapped from Gaza.

The AI slop / The reality

Joe Biden tweet:

@JoeBiden
I am deeply grateful and relieved that this day has come – for the last living 20 hostages who have been through unimaginable hell and are finally reunited with their families and loved ones, and for the civilians in Gaza who have experienced immeasurable loss and will finally get the chance to rebuild their lives.

The road to this deal was not easy. My Administration worked relentlessly to bring hostages home, get relief to Palestinian civilians, and end the war. I commend President Trump and his team for their work to get a renewed ceasefire deal over the finish line.

Now, with the backing of the United States and the world, the Middle East is on a path to peace that I hope endures and a future for Israelis and Palestinians alike with equal measures of peace, dignity, and safety.

In prison, Israeli guards told him again and again they had killed his entire family as psychological torture meant to break him. When he walked up the stairs of his home today, his wife rushed into his arms, with his children and parents beside her - alive, waiting, delirious with joy and relief.

so it seems Saleh was killed (possibly executed) by an Israeli-armed/backed militia. We've known that Israel has been doing this. The goal: fomenting a civil war between Palestinian factions. Inevitably Israel will "intervene" to quell the clashes. Another tool in its genocidal arsenal.

This is what it’s like to be Palestinian: Israel threatening you with “severe consequences” if you express any joy at the homecoming of your loved ones from captivity in Israeli prisons, where they’ve been tortured for decades.

While Israelis celebrated the return of captives from Gaza, Israel warned Palestinian families against holding celebrations over the return of prisoners – some who had been held for decades. Al Jazeera’s Nour Odeh explains.

They continue to eviscerate the public health machinery that has quietly kept Americans, and others around the world, safe and healthy for decades.

The staff of the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, the journal that reports on health trends and emerging infectious threats, was also laid off. The publication’s storied history includes a June 1981 report that five previously healthy gay men were treated for an unusual pneumonia — the first hint of the AIDS epidemic.

Roughly 70 Epidemic Intelligence Service officers — the so-called “disease detectives” who respond to outbreaks around the globe — received layoff notices, according to a person familiar with them. The service was spared during an earlier round of layoffs in February.

I can't believe I have to address this but here is a map of circumcision rates by state (left) and a map of diagnosed autism rates by state (right). The western US has the fewest circs and moderate frequency of autism. West Virginia has the most circumcisions and one of the lowest rates of autism.

A US map showing circumcision rate by state in general the lowest rates are in florida and western states and the highest rates are in the midwest and west virginia. Green represents low rates and red represents higher rates.
