How will Israel and its US backers weasel their way out of this???

https://ca.news.yahoo.com/hamas-agrees-u-proposal-gaza-133620317.html

CAIRO (Reuters) -A Palestinian official said on Monday that Hamas has agreed to a proposal by U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff for a Gaza ceasefire, only for an Israeli official to deny that the proposal was Washington's and add that no Israeli government could accept it.

Witkoff also rejected the notion that Hamas had accepted his offer for a hostage deal and a ceasefire in Gaza, telling Reuters that what he had seen was "completely unacceptable" and the proposal being discussed was not the same as his.

The Palestinian official, who is close to Hamas, had told Reuters that the proposal would see the release of 10 hostages and a 70-day ceasefire and was received by Hamas through mediators.

"The proposal includes the release of 10 living Israeli hostages held by Hamas in two groups in return for a 70-day ceasefire and a partial withdrawal from the Gaza Strip," the source said.

Hundreds of Zionist settlers desecrate Al-Aqsa Mosque, led by Ben-Gvir
26 May 14:23
x
Today, at least 1,427 Israeli settlers stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque as part of the annual "Flag March," a provocative event commemorating "Israel's" occupation of East Jerusalem during the Naksa in 1967. The march deliberately passes through Palestinian neighborhoods, with participants waving Israeli flags, chanting racist slogans such as "Death to Arabs," and engaging in incendiary behavior aimed at asserting dominance over occupied Al-Quds and Al-Aqsa Mosque. Last year’s march was especially provocative, with over 1,600 settlers storming Al-Aqsa, also led by far-right minister Itamar Ben-Gvir. Israeli flags were waved inside the mosque, the Israeli anthem was sung, and for the first time since 1967, settlers brought black tefillin rolls into Al-Aqsa. In 2021, provocations during the Flag March triggered the Battle of Seif al-Quds, in which the Palestinian resistance responded forcefully to "Israel's" repeated desecration of al-Aqsa.

It’s normal for presidents to hump the wall.

Macron issues a statement:

Speaking to reporters on Monday, Macron said he was “surprised” by the wave of speculation about the incident.

“There’s a video showing me and my wife bickering and joking, and somehow that becomes a sort of geo-planetary catastrophe, with people even coming up with theories to explain it,” he said.

Like Keiji Nakazawa with his semi-autobiographical manga Barefoot Gen about a boy surviving the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, Art Spiegelman elevated comics to the level of serious literature with Maus depicting Jewish “mice” being treated as extermination fodder by Nazi “cats.”

Joe Sacco now continues in this tradition, depicting the history of Palestine and the experience of Palestinians, courageously exploring a blood and rubble bedecked ground where almost all other artists have feared to tread.

@lotlizard @lotlizard Trudeau couldnt have fallen any further in my estimation. But Tom Tomorrow fell to his knees with remarkable enthusiasm. I cant imagine what the Santa Cruz Comic News would look like today.
Not that there's anything funny about the collapse of bloodthirsty America, but those whores reek.

He stated that Israel is willing to agree to a temporary truce under which half of the living and deceased hostages would be returned, “and lead to substantive negotiations to find a path to a permanent ceasefire, which I agreed to preside over.”

“That deal is on the table. Hamas should take it,” Witkoff added.

He let Israel break the first ceasefire by killing hundreds here and there and then never going to the 2nd phase. Or didn’t keep his word on letting aid into Gaza after they released the American PoW.

Israel is still not letting aid in. They make the convoys go through a dangerous zone and then let the ISIS goons steal it. Gaza cops were killed when they tried to get ISIS to back off. Who killed them? The IDF.

Since there’s no news tonight you might want something to read.

Here is an interesting article on the False Flag shooting event.

Just hours ahead of the DC killing, in the West Bank town of Jenin, a group of international ambassadors and fellow diplomats from the EU, Portugal, Morocco, Brazil, Austria, Japan, Canada, India, Poland, Russia, Turkey, Romania, France, the UK, Mexico, China, Egypt and Jordan brazenly came under open fire by Israeli soldiers that were fully aware of the Arab-European delegation in the area. But apparently the Israelis have grown so cocksure of their impunity, they can freely belligerently lash out in unbridled aggression with no limits. In a growing climate where their open genocide is drawing more international criticism and disapproval, Israelis defy the rest of the world by taking pot shots at visiting foreign delegations on their “annexed” West Bank turf. Again, this incident speaks volumes just hours ahead of Israel’s likely false flag shooting in Washington DC, designed to stem the rising tide of disapproval and once again win them more world sympathy and more genocidal impunity. Netanyahu’s response to the DC shooting was to blame the growing number of leaders now standing against his genocide, and the IDF shots fired against the diplomats was his apparent warning of intimidation to the rest of the world.

Also too Celia Farbor takes a deep look into the shootings and she makes some good points.

Oddities About The Shooting Part 2: Some Resolved, More Cropping Up.

She too hints at this being a psyops or false flag event. Lots of people were saying that a false flag event was coming.

Time will tell if that’s what this was.

@snoopydawg

Let’s briefly put into perspective what Israel’s destructive genocidal force deploying nonstop US bombs dropped on the small Gaza Strip space during the first 10 months, from October 7th, 2023 to August 7th last year caused. More bombs were dropped than the combined bombs dropped during all of WWII. Think of it, throughout the heavy bombing in humanity’s deadliest war in human history sustained in Dresden, Hamburg, London and Japan, it still doesn’t come close to the extensive total tonnage per area damage that US bombs dropped on Gaza’s tiny 25-mile-long by 7 or less mile-wide, densely populated Strip. In less than a year, the 2,000-pound made-in-USA bombs on Gaza surpassed not just all bombs dropped in the five years of WWII, but also the nine years of the Vietnam War. In fact, no other warzone ever in all known history has ever been pulverized like Gaza

Someone in Caitlin’s essay is arguing about lesser evil voting and he’s mad that so many people didn’t vote for Kamala. Shitlibs don’t think that she would be letting Netanyahu do what he’s doing under Trump. Biden’s letting Netanyahu do whatever he wanted puts that to the lie.

@humphrey

This group was recently formed to get aid into Gaza. They’re all billionaires with no history of doing anything like this.
The UN has organizations in place to distribute food, but Netanyahu and Trump wants to make it as difficult as possible.
Plus Israel lets it be stolen.
20 months of full blown genocide and still the world does nothing.
Can anyone imagine what the Palestinians are thinking when the world does nothing? When did they give up hope that someone would stop this?
