The chief of the Israeli genocide of Palestinians in Gaza and the ethnic cleansing in the West Bank, Exterminator-in-Chief, Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu jumped on his plane and jetted from one International Criminal Court (ICC) denier, authoritarian leader, Victor Orban of Hungary, to another ICC denier in Washington, D.C., Donald Trump.
Trump is the second U.S. president to give Netanyahu the green light for the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. Joe Biden was guilty of 17 months of complicity in the Israeli genocide of Gaza, while Trump is 2.5 months in and counting.
Trump and Netanyahu are two peas in a nasty pod.
No doubt, Trump issued his sudden invitation to Netanyahu to visit him in Washington as a morale booster to the war criminal facing ICC arrest warrants abroad and court proceedings on corruption charges when he returns to Israel.
Trump knows what it feels like to have court dates, multiple court dates. Bibi will no doubt ask advice on how to escape the court proceedings while in office, since Trump has successfully jumped that hurdle with the cooperation of the U.S. Supreme Court.
Bibi does not need any advice on how to be vindictive to those who oppose him, although Trump will no doubt regale him with stories of intimidation tactics on universities, law firms and media.
Domestically, Netanyahu has ignored the tens of thousands of Israeli citizens who are screaming for a cease-fire that would return Israelis still held in Gaza. Just ignore them, fire members of the cabinet and bomb the hell out of Gaza and get the bulldozers moving to cut Gaza into military sectors for ease of the final extermination of Palestinians are the diversion tactics used by Netanyahu.
Israeli attacks using U.S. bombs and assassinations by drone in Gaza continue on steroids, with the Israeli food, water and medicine blockade of Gaza grinding into its fourth week.
While this has been going on, the U.S. Congress cowardly voted down the Joint Resolutions of Disapproval of weapons systems worth $8.8 billion, including 35,000 2,000-pound bombs.
The latter will destroy buildings and shred human bodies for a quarter-mile from each impact, expanding the extermination of Palestinians in Gaza and the displacement of more than 40,000 in the West Bank.
While more and more children were dying with weapons that he gave to the Israelis, U.S. President Donald Trump went golfing.
On that same day, Trump faced more than 1,400 “Hands Off” rallies across the U.S. opposing his slash-and-burn operations in downsizing/destruction of the federal government and the potential collapse of the U.S. economic system that could result from the vindictive tariffs on goods that are imported from around the world, including apparently from penguins on some mysterious tiny islands known only to the penguin world.
The April 5, 2025, rally and march for Palestine in Washington, D.C., included a display with hundreds of tiny shoes and slippers lining Pennsylvania Avenue looking east toward the U.S. Capitol.
The slippers and shoes reminded those with a conscience of the terrible brutality of U.S. complicity in the genocide of children in Gaza.
The stage for the rally had the words “Let Gaza Live” with the U.S. Capitol in the background a reminder for history of the cruelty of the U.S. Congress in voting for bombs to maim, orphan and kill these children.
Governments in Europe and North America are generally taking no action to stop the genocide of Gaza but, instead, cower in fear of being labeled anti-Semitic by the Israeli government and Christian Zionists as it accelerates the extermination of Palestinians in Gaza.
Yet, citizens around the world protest, march and rally to try to convince their governments to take action to stop the genocide, to stop sending Israel weapons which the U.S. and Germany lead as bombing accomplices.
The fate of Palestinians depends on us making our government stop fueling the genocide.
And our individual and collective morality and consciences are at stake.
We will not stop!!!!!
We cannot stop until the genocide ends and Palestinians are free from Israeli occupation and terror!!!!!
