NJ’s Amazing Pro-Palestine Calendar Keeper – March 21 2024
The following is the product of a NJ resident who has been keeping a pro-Palestine calendar literally for years – possibly over a decade. They are preferring anonymity – but approved circulation of the important information. There is some analysis that comes with the announcements which is welcome on FightBackBetter.com . ed.
Sabah ilheir everyone,
Today marks Day 167 of Israel’s genocidal campaign on Gaza, and each new day only seems to herald yet more martyrs, yet another massacre. This it the abnormal reality that the Biden Administration expects to normalize, and the media has been exceptionally pliant in their efforts to erase Israel’s direct role starving Palestinians in Gaza to death. Consider the following headlines:
- BBC: Gaza faces famine during Ramadan, the holy month of fasting
- CNN: Famine in northern Gaza is imminent as more than 1 million people face ‘catastrophic’ levels of hunger, new report warns
- The Guardian: World Bank report finds imminent risk of catastrophic famine in Gaza Strip
- NPR: After months of war in Gaza, famine is imminent for hundreds of thousands of people
- NY Times: U.N. Experts Say Gaza Is Close to Famine. What Does That Mean?
- Washington Post: U.N. chief calls for ‘unfettered’ aid to Gaza as aid groups report imminent famine
1 week or 2 weeks into Israel’s imposed total siege on Gaza, we could maybe excuse, but 167 days in, and plead ignorance into this man-made humanitarian crisis — no, Israel-made war crime — is not indefensible, it’s complicity in genocide.
