Peloni: Forcing Israel to bear the responsibility of the Gazan civilians rests as a stark reminder that neither Israeli & Pal lives have any value to the American power brokers whose policy has lead to the war being lengthened, Israel’s prosecution of the war being stunted, and the remaining Hamas contingents being strengthened. It is as if the US has a need to cripple Israel’s war effort, and in fact, there can be no other possible interpretation. No doubt, the impending deadline has played no small part in the decision regarding the recent advance into Jabalia, which might have been better served by an extended delay while further weakening the Hamas operatives who have so far refused to surrender.

Peloni: I agree with you completely. The question is, what does this threat issued by a conglomerate of very corrupt people really mean? And if Israel goes ahead with what munitions it has and finishes the job… all of it… what actions will the corrupt ones take. What’s done cannot be undone…
I would also suggest that someone ask the question as to what the US is doing to help the Ukrainians, given that the death toll in Ukraine is around 500000, and unlike in Gaza, nobody appears to want to offer help… except for more arms. And we know why this is so, don’t we?
