This is the kind of stuff our performing seals in Congress stand and applaud for. And, to the shame of conservatives, faux conservatives show the least concern for America’s honor and integrity.
So what’s going on. As we noted the other day, the Israelis destroyed the water filtration facility in Rafah. That is strictly a violation of international law but, well, Zionism. Anglo-Zionists say no one in Gaza deserves to live.
Rafah water facility demolition raises health risks in Gaza, UN says
GENEVA —
U.N. agencies warn that the demolition of a critical water facility in Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip increases the risk of infectious diseases as people are forced to drink unsafe water while sanitary conditions continue to deteriorate.
“Until recently, that reservoir served thousands and thousands of internally displaced people who had sought refuge in Rafah in the area,” James Elder, UNICEF spokesperson, told journalists at a briefing in Geneva on Tuesday.
“Now without it, vulnerable children and families are likely to be forced again increasingly to resort to unsafe water, so putting them again at all those risks that we see time after time, day after day in Gaza — dehydration, malnutrition, diseases,” he said.

The World Health Organization reports a surge in infectious diseases in the Gaza Strip. As of July 7, it has recorded nearly 1 million cases of acute respiratory infections, 577,000 cases of acute watery diarrhea, 107,000 of acute jaundice syndrome and 12,000 of bloody diarrhea. It also has recorded nearly 200,000 cases of scabies, lice, skin rashes, chicken pox and other illnesses
The recent identification of circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus type 2 in Gaza’s sewage system is of particular concern. Under prevailing conditions in Gaza, there is a high risk of spread of this paralytic, deadly disease within the Palestinian enclave and across borders.
“Having a vaccine-derived polio virus in the sewage very likely means that it is out there somewhere in people,” WHO spokesperson Christian Lindmeier said. …

Meanwhile, as if to provide definitive proof that Zionism recognizes no claims of humanity, “the only democracy in the Middle East” is holding a debate in its parliament. Imagine what the Middle East would be like if all countries there were “democracies” (MK = member of parliament):

Only in the Middle East's "only democracy" can a debate take place over whether it is legitimate to "insert a stick in a person's rectum"

MK Ahmad Tibi (TA'AL): To insert a stick in a person's rectum, is that legitimate?
MK Hanoch Milwidsky (Likud): Yes! If he is a Nukhba everything is legitimate to do him!
This is a scum society from top to bottom. Boycott anyone who supports them.

Everyone from Netanyahu's son, Yair, to Israel's Economy Minister Nir Barkat, to Justice Minister Yariv Levin, has chimed in to defend the right of soldiers to rape Palestinian prisoners. What was intended as a legal charade to demonstrate to the ICC that Israel could hold its soldiers accountable for crimes – in this case, the gang rape of a prisoner at the Sde Teiman concentration camp – has backfired and exposed the psychological sickness emanating from the heart of Jewish Israeli society.
The sadistic torture that has taken place at Sde Teiman and other Israeli dungeons was undeniably fueled by the state-led propaganda hoax accusing Hamas of "systemic sexual violence" on October 7. Legacy Western outlets like the NY Times, BBC, The Guardian, along with the voice of Israel's "enlightened public," Haaretz, legitimized the hoax, and have refused to retract or even correct reports that were comprehensively debunked. Thus, to the common Jewish Israeli, Hamas militants not only violated hundreds of women before butchering them for pleasure, they cruelly emasculated the Israeli male who supposedly conquered the land.
Behind the walls of Sde Teiman, the shadowy goon squad known as Force 100 has been tasked with restoring Zionist machismo by revenge-raping defenseless Palestinian men kidnapped from Gaza. All prisoners are "terrorists" in their minds, therefore anything is permissible. As Hanoch Milwidsky, a member of Knesset from the ruling Likud Party stated openly in a parliamentary debate, "If he is a [Hamas] Nukhba member, everything is legitimate to do him!"
The same media outlets that propagated the Hamas "mass rape" hoax are predictably downplaying the documented gang rape of a Palestinian prisoner. Haaretz has referred to the rape in a front page headline as mere "abuse." Currently, there is nothing on the NY Times front page about the incident, while the Washington Post refers cryptically to "detainee abuse" in its coverage, which is buried at the bottom of its website. Prominent liberal Zionists, meanwhile, are pronouncing Israel's "democracy" and its international image as the ultimate victims of the crisis, and not the Palestinians who have endured rape and torture at the hands of the occupation's enforcers.
The war in Gaza suffocated the national protests against Netanyahu's judicial reform plans, seemingly breathing new life into the PM's career. But now, after nine months of blood-letting, the war is setting the stage for an existential civil meltdown if and when Netanyahu agrees to a ceasefire without scoring the "total victory" he's promised. If that day comes, let it be recorded that the turning point was a violent Zionist riot in support of the right to rape Palestinian men.
