Epstein Files, the sequel = The Trump Files
Nuremberg Trials, the sequel = The Trump Trials

Ex-Israeli war chief confirms issuing Hannibal Directive to kill own civilians, soldiers on 7 Oct Israeli forces used attack helicopters, drones, and tanks to kill their own civilians and soldiers while blaming the deaths on Hamas

Never forget October 7th 2023, that fateful day when Israelis were brutally massacred by Israeli tanks and Israeli helicopters and Israeli drones and Israeli soldiers and Israeli bullets, and also by Hamas a bit.

Over on the Other Place I would occasionally put this thread together, most recently during lockdown, four years ago in fact, and I realised I'd not done it here. So, bear with, and feel free to mute as this is an epic (genuinely, I’m not sure we won’t reach hitherto non-invoked thread limits tbh).

Is it too early to ask for a sequel to 'The death of Stalin'? A black comedy in this style is just screaming out to be written!!

When will the world act? What will constitute enough, a bridge too far, that will unite nations against this genocide in plain view?

"We've killed tens of thousands, but it's not genocide."

"We are denying food to hundreds of thousands, but it's not famine."

Terminology isn't unimportant; but splitting hairs over thresholds is a useful distraction. Whatever you want to call it, Israel's campaign against Gaza is monstrous.

Who's emergencies director says any "right thinking human being will stand up and say, this must stop" as the occupation continues to kill and starve families in their thousands.
