Three things:
1. Israel doesn’t get to unilaterally ‘propose’ extensions of a ceasefire that it has repeatedly violated.
2. Netanyahu was already indicted for starvation. Here’s more of the clear starvation policy.
3. It’s the beginning of Ramadan, the cruelty is just so brazen and shameful.

Breaking News: Israel announced that it was halting all aid into Gaza, hours after proposing a temporary extension of the now-expired cease-fire with Hamas.
Israel Halts All Aid Into Gaza Immediately as Cease-Fire Expires
The move came hours after Israel had proposed a temporary extension of the truce, though one with terms that Hamas is unlikely to accept.

We are already at the ‘purging the generals and replace them with loyalists’ part of the Trump second term, just five weeks in. Totally normal. Not dangerous at all
This military purge is about Trump installing loyalists in every senior role, just as he filled his cabinet with sycophants and enablers willing to carry out his dangerous and illegal orders.
This won’t end well for our country.

Isn't this what Trump learned in 2024?
If you do illegal things at rapidfire, the courts can't keep up with you fast enough to hold you accountable.
He outran the courts because elections were quicker than his prosecution.
The faster he does illegal things now, the more he cripples a slow system.
