FRANCE 24's Yinka Oyetade speaks to Oliver McTernan, Director at Forward Thinking, about the resumption of Israeli airstrikes on Gaza. He says that this month is crucial for the political survival of Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu and a return to war in Gaza undermines any chance of a future agreements to end the conflict.

To the surprise of precisely no one who isn't a credulous rube high on imperialism, settler colonialism, and weapons contractor bribes, Israel has started bombing children and houses again in Gaza. Naturally of course a Trump regime that wants to pave over Gaza and build luxury hotels and casinos for an obscenely wealthy, globetrotting ruling class if it can just find a way to get rid of all those pesky Palestinians, stands fully in support of resuming the US armed, funded, and politically protected genocide.

Backed by Trump, Israel Shreds Cease-Fire Deal and Kills Over 400 Across Gaza

"A barrage of Israeli airstrikes across the Gaza Strip early Tuesday killed more than 400 people and left a fragile cease-fire agreement in tatters just over two months after it was reached, with Israel's prime minister pledging "increasing military strength" in an enclave already decimated by more than a year of bombing.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that the Netanyahu government consulted with the Trump administration ahead of the latest Gaza bombardment. Leavitt expressed the White House's total support for Israel's attacks.

While Israel had been carrying out more limited deadly attacks on Gaza despite the cease-fire deal—including strikes over the weekend that killed at least nine—Tuesday's bombings were described as the "heaviest assault on the territory since the cease-fire took effect in January."

Speaking frankly, there are more detailed articles featuring a lot more atrocity porn available online, but I chose to highlight this short piece because the headline writer understood the importance of centering the Trump regime's full support for this monstrous, objectively illegal bullshit. The US government is supplying the bombs, funding the Netanyahu government, and actively praising Israel for resuming crimes against humanity; that makes the atrocities in Gaza Trump's genocide, the same as it made them Biden's genocide before him. None of this is lost on most media observers outside of the United States, but an American corporate media complex that has always supported the mass murder of Palestinians remains reluctant to center that knowledge, even if it hurts the fascist assclown currently calling their work "illegal" and threatening to come after them with the full force of the U.S. government.

Of course everyone in the media, American or international, is claiming to be "shocked" that Israel has willfully imploded the ceasefire, and telling you that you should be shocked too. Naturally however, that position too is a grotesque farce that ignores available evidence and reality itself. This may be the first large-scale bombing since Netanyahu agreed to pretend he cared about a cease-fire for a while, but Israel already resumed the genocide when it tightened the blocked of, and cut electricity to Gaza; a region that is more or less constantly in a state of humanitarian crisis because Israel has been conducting a war of extermination there and purposely starving the population inside for seventeen months and counting. Furthermore, all of this is pretty consistent with statements made by various high ranking officials in the Netanyahu government, who have openly flouted their intentions to break the cease fire and ethnically cleanse (by whatever means are necessary) the Palestinian people in Gaza. The fact that American corporate media rarely reports on these stated intentions, and is foundationally committed to credulously taking Netanyahu's word when he claims to be seeking peace while bombing hospitals and murdering babies, does not mean the larger US establishment is unware of these facts - just that they're hoping you are.

The fact is, Trump, his administration, and American arms manufacturers should be on trial for crimes against humanity as we speak, and the reality that he is not alone in that because committing genocide in Gaza is a largely bipartisan position in the American establishment does absolutely nothing to alter the situation.

Common Dreams · Backed by Trump, Israel Shreds Cease-Fire Deal and Kills Over 400 Across Gaza | Common Dreams"This return to violence does not come as a surprise," said one advocacy group. "Netanyahu has, from the beginning, signaled his intention to abandon the cease-fire process before it could become a lasting peace."

Prime Minister Benjamin #Netanyahu on Tuesday said that a wave of deadly overnight strikes on #Gaza was "only the beginning" of Israeli action in the Palestinian territory. Israel launched airstrikes across the Gaza Strip early Tuesday, killing more than 400 Palestinians, local health officials said, and shattering a ceasefire in place since January with its deadliest bombardment in a 17-month war with Hamas.

"The so-called truce was a political manoeuvre, a pause that allowed Israel to reset the clock on its war while maintaining the core elements of its siege and occupation. Israel continued its war on Gaza through an ongoing choking blockade, aerial attacks, and the killing and abuse of Palestinian prisoners. In the West Bank a parallel war rages on, with Israeli forces raiding Palestinian homes, carrying out assassinations and detaining people in the thousands."

Before ICE agents showed up, the school modified its protocol for such a development and reversed its previous status as a sanctuary campus. According to the new rules, ICE would be allowed at Columbia without a warrant in “exigent circumstances.”

Not long after that announcement Mahmoud Khalil, was arrested by ICE in front of his pregnant wife, who pleaded with the agents to explain the charges.

Footage release by Gazan's on the ground showed dead childred, many toddlers and infants, lying motionless on the ground and at medical stations.

Palestinians say they several entire families were killed in these strikes which went on for hours.

Israeli authorities have committed war crimes, crimes against humanity, including forced displacement and extermination, and acts of genocide during the assault on #Gaza.

Other countries should urgently act to prevent further mass atrocities, including by:

1️⃣ suspending arms transfers to Israel,

2️⃣ supporting the International Criminal Court and executing its arrest warrants,

3️⃣ imposing targeted sanctions on officials responsible for laws-of-war violations.

Six more people were killed in another strike on a house in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, the source added.
