At the risk of repeating myself: there’s no bargaining with these people. What they’re calling for now is mass expulsions of long-term residents deemed insufficiently economically productive. There’s no way these demands won’t get even more extreme by election time.

Here is Pete Hegseth's tweet announcing the return of the Confederate monument to Arlington National Cemetery. The plan is to restore it and reinstall in 2027.
It's important to point out that this monument was never referred to as a "Reconciliation Monument."

</a>
</h2>
<div class="content">
<div class="field field-field-text"><p>More than 100 international human rights and humanitarian organisations have called for an end to <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/israel" target="_blank">Israel</a>'s siege of Gaza, citing widespread starvation affecting their staff.</p>
<p>Famine caused by Israel's ongoing war and blockade has led to a growing number of deaths from malnutrition and dehydration in recent days.</p>
<p>A joint letter released on Wednesday, signed by 109 organisations, including Amnesty International, War Child UK, and EuroMed Rights, warns that the humanitarian crisis is reaching catastrophic levels.</p>
<p>“As the Israeli government’s siege starves the people of Gaza, aid workers are now joining the same food lines, risking being shot just to feed their families," the <a href="https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2025/07/as-mass-starvation-spreads-across-gaza-our-colleagues-and-those-we-serve-are-wasting-away/" target="_blank">joint letter</a> said. </p>
<p>"With supplies now totally depleted, humanitarian organisations are witnessing their own colleagues and partners waste away before their eyes."</p>
<p>The signatories rejected the "military-controlled distribution models," in reference to the scandal-ridden Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), an Israeli-US initiative designed to bypass the UN's infrastructure for aid delivery and distribution in Gaza. </p>
<p>They also urged the immediate lifting of the Israeli blockade and allowing aid groups to do their work. </p>
<p>"Humanitarian agencies have the capacity and supplies to respond at scale," the statement added.</p>
<p>"But, with access denied, we are blocked from reaching those in need, including our own exhausted and starved teams.</p>
<p>"Every day without a sustained flow means more people dying of preventable illnesses. Children starve while waiting for promises that never arrive." </p>

Today, a Brussels court ruled that the Flemish government must block transit to Israel of all goods that can be used in military equipment, citing Israel's breaches of int'l law.
There can be no business as usual with a country committing genocide.
