President Obama planted the seeds for this genocide with his 10-year memorandum of understanding that locked in US military funding for Israel instead of holding Israel accountable for its apartheid and occupation.

Should Trump rule over Gaza?

Obviously not. But that's what his plan proposes.

I go over the Trump plan for Gaza in @theintercept.com:

"... experts and aid groups have warned for months that Israel’s restrictions of food and aid into Gaza and a relentless military offensive were causing starvation, particularly in children and pregnant women."

The latest @nytimes.com column by Thomas Friedman is just as bad as all of the other ones:

- no mention of genocide
- no mention of Israel's forced starvation of Palestinians
- no mention of America's role in perpetuating the genocide by bankrolling Israel

"Under the plan, Trump would personally chair an Orwellian “Board of Peace” that would rule over #Gaza, with former U.K. Prime Minister Tony Blair at his side."

ICYMI: Here is the photo released by the White House of Netanyahu apologizing to Qatar's ruler for bombing his country.

The report estimates that nearly 100 million total U.S. jobs could be automated over the next 10 years. 89% of fast food jobs, 64% of accounting roles, and 47% of trucking positions could be replaced.

Two apologies from Van Jones.

For his first apology, he turned public replies off after being flooded with criticism. Then he posted a second apology with no public replies allowed.

In both, he avoids naming who is killing the babies of Gaza that he joked about -- Israel.

Some real backflips to avoid saying the word genocide:

Reporter @anniekarni.bsky.social of the @nytimes.com refers to "the Israeli government's management of the conflict in Gaza."

"Management" of a "conflict"

"Palestinians have been uniquely, relentlessly, shamelessly dehumanized and demonized."
