  • TRUMP PROMISES PALESTINIANS PEACE AND HAPPINESS—SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW…

    TRUMP PROMISES PALESTINIANS PEACE AND HAPPINESS—SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW…

    Trump said in front of Netanyahu the US will “rebuild and run Gaza.” He said the Palestinians will be shipped out and “people in the area“ (meaning Israelis) will move in.

    He also warned if Palestinians return, they will be bombed again. But don’t worry, he assured them, he will send them to a place that will be “lovely and beautiful,” where they will live in peace and happiness for the rest of their lives— although he didn’t say where that place is.

    He also said today that the peace deal he made was “3,000 years in the making,” essentially appointing himself the hope of the Jewish people (3,000 years ago, David was king and had united Israel). That is one heavy crown Trump has placed on himself. Again.

    One thing I am assured of. I have been stating since the beginning of this “conflict” (genocide and gentrification) that Israel was inflicting massive and irreversible harm on the region and people, and that when they were done with it, it would be a parking lot. I was shredded for this by Trump’s supporters who told me I was lying and spreading fake news. They had the audacity to say I was posting selective photos.

    But Trump just affirmed everything I warned about last night. He said “there is nothing left of Gaza, it is nothing but rubble, there is nothing to go back to.” Shame on anyone who continues to exchange the truth for a political lie.

    This scripture came to mind…

    “If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace—but now it is hidden from your eyes.” Luke 19:42

  • Israel has literally bombed Gaza back to the stone age…

    Israel has literally bombed Gaza back to the stone age…

    I was horrified to see the images of Gaza from overhead today. I knew the damage was bad, but I didn’t know how bad it was. There’s really nothing left of it.

    I personally find it hard to believe that this level of destruction was necessary for Israel to defend itself, as it claims. It seems to me, they went way beyond defense, especially in light of Netanyahu’s statement today that he intends to “occupy” Gaza.

    Furthermore, there’s also a great deal of misinformation circulating about the situation on the ground, such as photos depicting abundant food marketplace in Gaza and claiming that reports of starvation are false. Here’s what I have found:

    Claim: Images are circulating showing well-stocked markets and cafés in Gaza, with claims that these disprove reports of widespread starvation.
    Truth: These images are deeply misleading and do not reflect the overall humanitarian situation in Gaza. Multiple independent sources confirm that massive starvation is real and worsening.

    What’s Really Happening in Gaza?

    ✅ Verified by the UN, WHO, and WFP:

    • As of mid-2025, the UN, World Health Organization (WHO), and World Food Programme (WFP) all confirm that Gaza is facing catastrophic food insecurity.
    • Over 470,000 people are in IPC Phase 5 – the most extreme category, meaning famine-level conditions.
    • Children are dying from hunger, malnutrition is widespread, and two of three famine thresholds (lack of food consumption and acute malnutrition) have already been breached.

    📉 Blockades and Aid Disruption:

    • Since March 2025, Israel has severely restricted aid and food delivery into Gaza.
    • A large portion of aid that does make it in is looted or diverted, either by armed groups or desperate civilians.
    • Food prices have skyrocketed—increases of 77% to over 3,000% have made food inaccessible for most families.

    ⚠️ Starvation, Not Abundance

    • The occasional images of food markets or open cafés show rare exceptions, often from limited areas like aid depots, black markets, or affluent neighborhoods.
    • These images are sometimes filmed for propaganda purposes or circulated with no context (such as time, place, or availability).
    • Meanwhile, millions are starving, with entire families going days without food, drinking unsafe water, or eating leaves and animal feed.

    🔎 Why These Images Are Misleading

    Most markets are empty or closed due to lack of supplies. Even if these scenes are genuine, they represent the exception, not the rule—like showing a stocked convenience store in a starving region and saying the crisis is fake.

    The bombing is real. The suffering is real. Anyone saying anything to the contrary is spreading fake news. In any country, not participating in helping feed all of these starving people are just as guilty as Israel in crimes against humanity.
