Israel is Committing Genocide in Gaza

...genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

  1. Killing members of the group;
  2. Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
  3. Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
  4. Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
  5. Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

Gaza is now, and has been for some time, an open air concentration camp maintained by Israel with the assistance of the United States.

“We’ve really not seen anything quite like this before,” said Alex de Waal, executive director of the World Peace Foundation and an expert on famine. “It’s genocidal starvation.”

“This is not hunger, this is not malnutrition. This is forced starvation, this is torture,” Saira Hussain, a British-Australian doctor currently working in Gaza’s Nasser Hospital, said.

When Justice Department officials reviewed what Attorney General Pam Bondi called a “truckload” of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein earlier this year, they discovered that Donald Trump’s name appeared multiple times, according to senior administration officials.


The problems for Trumpstein with this are,

1) Weeks after (July 7) telling Trumpstein that his name was in the files, Bondi's DOJ issued a memo saying that no other Epstein material would be made public

2) Trumpstein was asked by reporters on July 15 if Bondi had told him if his name appeared in the files:

"No, no. She's given us just a very quick briefing, and in terms of the credibility of the different things that they've seen."

So those are problems for Trumpstein, BEEG problems.

Trump Really Wants to Stop Talking About Epstein: A Timeline

...

On Tuesday, during a meeting with President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. of the Philippines on trade issues, Mr. Trump accused Mr. Obama of treason, and said that the time had come for his opponents to face criminal charges.

Later that evening, during a reception with Republican members of Congress, Mr. Trump renewed his attacks against Mr. Obama, falsely claiming he had used deception in the 2016 election. He also plainly stated his intent to use the attacks against the former president as a means to distract reporters and deflect from negative news coverage, suggesting to his fellow Republicans that they respond to “inappropriate” questions by reporters by saying, “Oh by the way, Obama cheated on the election.”
