#UN Chief Guterres nails it.

Statehood for the Palestinians "is a right, not a reward," he emphasises, adding: "Denying statehood would be a gift to extremists everywhere."

Note - yes, it has been a gift to extremists on both sides of the border for decades.

There's no mistaking it.

The destruction of Gaza is just a big get-rich scheme - for some wealthy sociopaths who have no qualms about genocide.

(Others have political or religious goals, I'm highlighting a fairly new - and very Trumpian - angle drawing new support)

How Israel's policies created famine in Gaza

Israel has systematically obstructed food entering Gaza, aid agencies say, as a UN-backed body confirms a famine.

Revealed: Israeli military’s own data indicates civilian death rate of 83% in Gaza war

Figures from classified IDF database listed 8,900 named fighters as dead or probably dead in May, as overall death toll reached 53,000

Five journalists killed in a strike on one.

I don't think "targeted strike" means what the IDF thinks it means.

It's always amazed me that the countries who supported a "two state solution" for decades never saw fit to recognize two countries.

There are already recognized countries with disputed borders, foreign occupation or terrorist governments, so that was never an excuse.
