"0:00
As President Trump and members of
0:02
Congress roll out the red carpet for
0:04
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
0:06
Netanyahu, let us remember that
0:09
Netanyahu has been indicted as a war
0:11
criminal by the International Criminal
0:14
Court for overseeing the systematic
0:17
killing and starvation of civilians in
0:19
Gaza. These war crimes continue to this
0:24
day....


1:52
The Israeli newspaper Harets interviewed
1:55
Israeli soldiers posted to these
1:57
distribution points who say they are
2:00
ordered to shoot into crowds of
2:02
civilians who posed no risk. One soldier
2:06
said, quote, "It's a killing field.
2:08
Where I was stationed, between one and
2:10
five people were killed every day." End
2:13
quote. Netanyahu's extremist government
2:16
is also preventing baby formula from
2:19
reaching hospitals, meaning mothers who
2:22
have been starved for months and cannot
2:24
breastfeed their infants have no
2:26
alternative but to watch their children
2:29
slowly starve.
2:31
This is the man that Donald Trump and
2:34
Congress are welcoming this week. A war
2:38
criminal who will be remembered as one
2:41
of the monsters of modern history. Given
2:45
the corrupt nature of the American
2:47
political system, where billionaires are
2:49
able to buy elections and heavily
2:51
influence legislation, it will not be
2:54
easy to stop US military aid for the
2:57
Netanyahu government. But that is
3:00
exactly what the American people want us
3:03
to do and that's what we've got to do
3:06
together. Let's make it happen. Thank
3:09
you."

1. Foreseeable flaws in Gaza aid project led to shooting of Palestinians - WAPO full article at link ...

"JERUSALEM — The repeated fatal shootings of Palestinians seeking food at distribution centers in Gaza since late May are an outcome of the aid project’s flawed design, which drew enormous crowds and brought them in proximity to Israeli troops, who opened fire on multiple occasions, according to experts in humanitarian aid programs, witness testimony and visual evidence.

Shortly before the centers opened, the United Nations warned in a briefing paper that the model — developed by a group of former U.S. intelligence and defense officials and business executives working in close consultation with Israel — could lead to violence sparked by overcrowding. “Israeli forces or private military security companies may use force to control crowds,” the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said.

... Since the American-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) opened the first of four distribution centers in late May in areas controlled by the Israeli military, Palestinians have been shot in the vicinity of the sites nearly every day, killing more than 400 people and wounding thousands, according to the Office of the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights.

The Post found that this violence was in part the result of ignoring long-established norms for aid distribution in Gaza and the predictable consequence of dynamics baked into a program that repeatedly culminated, witnesses said, in Israeli forces firing toward crowds..."
