An American company is planning to build biometric ghettos in Gaza. Image
Israel is set to approve a plan to divide Gaza into ghettos, operated by American private companies, who will set up checkpoints encircling the prisons.
Under the guise of distributing aid, the plan would refuse entry, exit, and aid unless Palestinians give their biometric data (fingerprints, facial recognition, voice, etc.) to the American company.

The New York Times has unveiled a classified “nuclear strategy” that Biden approved earlier this year.

Here's what you need to know: The Biden administration is quietly escalating the threat of nuclear war.
The de-classified “Nuclear Employment Guidance urges the need for increased “deterrence” towards Russia, North Korea, and China.

More nuclear weapons makes nuclear war more likely, not less. “Deterrence” may sound like it’s lowering risks, but it really means: more weapons, more money for war, more hostility.
Biden’s administration claims there is a need to prepare against “coordinated attacks” by Russia, North Korea, and China, which simply isn’t true. “There is little or no evidence to suggest a serious degree of coordination between Moscow and Beijing, let alone with Pyongyang, on the use of nuclear weapons.” Lyle Goldstein, acting Director of the think tank Defense Priorities and former professor at the US Naval War Academy

After almost one year of genocide in Gaza, Israel has only received more support, more weapons, and more money.

Now, it’s extending its genocidal attacks on the occupied West Bank. HANDS OFF THE WEST BANK! In one week, Israel has: killed 33, injured 130+, destroyed 70% of Jenin's infrastructure, cut off water for 80% of residents, barricaded hospitals, bulldozed homes and shops, forced Palestinians out of their homes & villages, abducted 70+ people
Israel has occupied the West Bank since 1967. Image
There are currently at least 196 illegal settlements across the West Bank, and 29 were set up last year - more than in any previous year.

There are more than 700,000 illegal Israeli settlers in the West Bank.

On his 10th trip to Israel since October, Secretary of State Blinken, has announced a new ceasefire deal.

Except, it doesn't cease fire at all. THE U.S. CEASEFIRE PROPOSAL DOES NOT CEASE FIRE
Here's what it includes: NO PERMANENT CEASEFIRE. NO RELEASE OF PALESTINIAN HOSTAGES, ONLY ISRAELI. ISRAEL CONTROLS RAFAH & PHILADELPHI BORDERS. NO WITHDRAWAL OF ISRAELI TROOPS. REJECTS U.N. RESOLUTION FOR A PERMANENT CEASEFIRE .
Israel has agreed to the proposal because it allows the genocide to continue without any halt.

This rejects the U.S.’s previous proposal, which Hamas agreed to but Israel rejected.

The U.S. and Israel are the biggest obstacles to a ceasefire.
