Holy mother of fuck - how many 1,000 times is Biden going to "reaffirm the United States’ support" and talk about "Israel’s right to defend itself"?

Biden spoke with Netanyahu on Friday, White House says

US President Joe Biden spoke Friday morning with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, following up on humanitarian assistance plans agreed to earlier this week in Tel Aviv and discussing hostage relief efforts, the White House said.

“The President reaffirmed the United States’ support for Israel’s right to defend itself and obligation to protect its citizens, while underscoring the importance of operating consistent with the law of war to include the protection of civilians in Gaza caught in the conflict launched by Hamas," the White House said in a readout.

"The President and Prime Minister discussed follow-up from the President’s visit to Israel earlier this week, including plans to begin moving humanitarian assistance into Gaza from Egypt," the readout continued. They also discussed “ongoing efforts to secure the release of hostages taken by Hamas – including US citizens –and to provide for safe passage for U.S. citizens and other civilians in Gaza,” the readout said.

The leaders and their teams have been in close contact since Hamas first attacked Israel on October 7. Biden met with Netanyahu on Wednesday in Tel Aviv, and the two spoke on October 8; 10 and 11.

The US and EU are asking Israel to postpone the ground operation in Gaza as they negotiate with Hamas, with the participation of Qatar, to release the hostages.

The Hamas movement has released two US citizens held hostage, according to the statement.

Israel is going to kill all the hostages and the US and EU know it. Israel will probably just blame it all on Hamas.

Watching aljezeera on IPTV stream. Current status, Hamas has released two american hostages as a sign of good faith for negotiations. US has not responded yet but has delayed normal updates so they're probably thinking about their response.

Oldest church in Palestine was bombed.

Another hospital has claimed they have been given an evacuation order from Israel. So look out for another hospital bombing.

I am going with "Even if it was a Hamas bomb, it's entirely Israels fault to force Hamas into launching rockets to prevent Palestines genocide."

feeling like rip van winkle the way i go to bed for the night and when i wake up another god damn century has gone by

Is Chomsky OK? Haven’t heard from him about the present conflict, which I thought he’d have a lot of opinion on.

I also want to know what he now thinks about gaslighting people who didn’t want to take the 10 minutes to vote for Joe Biden back in 2020.

Charles Johnson outed Peter Thiel as an FBI informant. lol. lmao even.

Why would Hamas release hostages for "humanitarian reasons"? They're animals who lust for the blood of the innocent, or so I was told.

Israel Hayom: Intercepting a drone that entered Israeli airspace coming from Lebanon

Iran can, but will not, do these things:

• Start uranium enrichment to 90%
• Kick IAEA agents out
• Close Strait of Hormuz
• Buy a nuclear bomb from Kim and do the
• Destroy all means of oil and gas production in ME, essentially nuking the planet without nukes
• Emptying its missile arsenal on Israel as fast as possible
• Sending a single Shahed suicide drone, which have 2000km range, to see if Israel catches it, if not keep sending more

2 state solution? I mean, I guess it cant hurt to have 2 Palestines

The Israeli government has approved permission to evacuate residents of settlements in an area up to 5 km from the border with Lebanon - Ministry of Defense

Hamas said that the movement will publish evidence of Israeli involvement in the attack on a hospital in Gaza and present it to international bodies

The head of the Iranian Foreign Ministry called for an embargo on oil exports to Israel, as well as a trial for war crimes against Palestine - statement

Putin confirmed that Russia's main position on the Palestinian issue remains the need to create an independent and sovereign Palestinian state on the basis of a UN resolution. This position remains unchanged and the current conflict has not changed it.

I know "ppl" is simply an abbreviation but I don't think reporters should use it when the are talking about serious news. I think it has a comic quality.

Biden says he's announcing $100M for Palestinians in Gaza and West Bank, including for displaced ppl

so two days ago was the 40th anniversary of the murder of Comrade Prime Minister Maurice Bishop and many other comrades at the hands of the ultra-left renegade and traitor Bernard Coard, who was his deputy PM, in a coup that would doom the revolutionary Grenadan government to being dismantled by the American imperialist regime and cause the death of hundreds of Grenadan and Cuban comrades.

On October 19, 1983, Grenadian Prime Minister Maurice Bishop and 15 members of his cabinet were executed following a palace coup orchestrated by his deputy Bernard Coard. Their bodies have never been found.

He came to power in March 1979, when "the New Jewel Movement successfully led a coup against the authoritarian government of Eric Gairy," the African Stream recalled.

"Bishop was installed as the prime minister, and his administration implemented a series of socialist reforms, including land redistribution, education expansion, and healthcare improvements," it added.

WASHINGTON ENCOURAGES CONSPIRACY

Due to public policies such as the above, the Bishop administration was viewed with suspicion by the United States, which also did not look favorably on the independent foreign policy that Grenada was implementing.

"On June 5, 1983, Bishop spoke to a room that burst at the seams at Hunter College in New York City. The audience was predominantly Africans in America, who had flocked to hear the Grenadian leader speak about how the U.S. government was plotting to destabilize and destroy the revolution in Grenada because it feared African sovereignty and independence," the African Stream highlighted.

Supported by Washington, a counterrevolutionary movement staged a coup d'état in 1983 and planned the assassination of the revolutionary leader.

"Bishop was arrested and assassinated during a coup by a faction the New Jewel Movement, led by Bernard Coard. The internal conflict led to his violent death, and opened the door for violent U.S. military occupation," the African Stream recalled.

Taking advantage of the chaos generated by this assassination, Washington and its Caribbean allies decided to intervene militarily on the island through the "Urgent Fury" operation. Before this happened, however, the U.S. used various means to destabilize the Bishop administration.

ECONOMIC ATTACKS

The United States government froze Grenada's international credits. In addition, U.S. President Ronald Regan harshly criticized Bishop for establishing cooperation with Cuba.

When the invasion occurred in 1983, over 780 Cuban doctors, engineers and professionals were working in this Caribbean country.

SUPPORT FOR THE OPPOSITION

The U.S. high command never hid its intention to invade Granada. Before consummating the invasion, however, attacks became customary. In June 1980, for example, right-wing terrorists exploded a bomb during a march of Bishop's New Jewel Movement, killing three women.

Knowing and encouraging the violent practices of the opposition, the U.S. reiterated the need to end the government so that "a new Cuba would not be established in the Caribbean."

GRENADA IS STIGMATIZED

President Reagan assured that Grenada was a danger to American security and to the world due to Cuban participation in the construction of an international airport, which Washington presented as a Russian air base in the Caribbean. The purpose of this infrastructure, however, was to serve the promotion of tourism in Grenada.
