THIS is the last chapter of the genocide. It is the final, blood-soaked push to drive the Palestinians from Gaza. No food. No medicine. No shelter. No clean water. No electricity.

A severe shortage of medical services and hardly any habitable...
EARLIER on January 8, I saw a prominent Zionist commentator and X (formerly Twitter) user post, 鈥楬as Greta Thunberg taken her keffiyeh off to address the fires in LA yet or are there too many Jews living here for her to be concerned?鈥� The weird implications about a mythical anti-Semitic malice that climate activist Greta Thunberg has to supposedly fuel...
