The bodies of over 300 people were discovered in a mass grave at the Nasser medical complex in Khan Younis, a Gaza city besieged by Israeli forces. The discovery of these Palestinian bodies, many of which were reportedly bound and stripped, is more evidence of “plausible” genocide committed by Israel during its bombardment of Gaza. Over 34,000 Palestinians have died thus far, with more than two-thirds of the casualties being women and children (Al Jazeera, 4/21/24). Yet this discovery prompted few US news headlines, despite outlets like the Guardian (4/23/24), Haaretz (4/23/24) and Reuters (4/23/24) covering the story. Instead, headlines relating to Palestine have predominantly focused on protests happening at university campuses across the country—an important story, but not one that ought to drown out coverage of the atrocities students are protesting against.

Who do you suppose built the compressed-gas accelerated bomb that killed 241 Marines, sailors and soldiers at the Marine Battalion Landing Team (BLT) building in Beirut, Lebanon 23Oct1983? Here's a little fucking hint: It wasn't fifth century goat herders, it was the only nuclear power in the region. That's very recently declassified. I guess it's big news like the USS Liberty. What?
And "they" didn't do them w/o white house approval.

The Israelis attacked the USS LIBERTY off the coast of the Sinai during the 1967 Arab-Israeli war because they picked up intelligence that the Israelis massacred 3,000 Egyptian prisoners in the Sinai. LBJ said, "That ship needs to go to the bottom." Fighters were scrambled from Sigonella Air Base in Sicily to the Liberty's defense but they were recalled. :-/ Captain McGonagle was awarded the Medal of Honor in the PRIVATE ceremony. ;)
