The US government wants us to forget about the Israeli genocide and the daily war crimes it commits in Gaza and the West Bank as was as in Lebanon against Palestinian refugee camps there. That's the reason the White House, the US State Department, the mainstream media, as well as major Jewish-American organizations act blind, deaf, and mute when it comes to Israel.
Last November 27, Israeli occupation forces executed two young Palestinians in cold blood even after they had turned themselves in. An outright extrajudicial killing in blatant violation of international humanitarian law. The incident happened last Thursday during an Israeli military operation in Jenin, northern West Bank. The Palestinian Health Ministry identified the slain men as Al-Muntasir Billah Abdullah, 26, and 37-year-old Youssef Asasa, who knelt briefly before being shot as they moved back toward the entrance. Israel's military and police said they were wanted suspects who had thrown explosives and fired earlier and the matter is under review. The Palestinian Authority called it a war crime while Israel's National Security Minister supported the officers.
Commentator and media analyst Adam @AdameMedia tweeted on the incident, "You can’t watch this video and not hate Israel. Israeli soldiers EXECUTE two young Palestinian men at point-blank range AFTER they surrendered near in the northern occupied West Bank. This apartheid must end. Boycott and shun everything to do with it."
On November 28, 2025, Illegal Jewish settlers shot an old Palestinian man on his leg and then they came back to steal his crutches. This kind of sadistic and inhuman act is what Palestinians have to endure on a daily basis. Every single day there’s a story like this.
On November 29, 2025, the Israeli Death Forces (IDF) murdered two brothers in a drone strike on Gaza. Fadi Abu Assi, 11, and Goma Abu Assi, 8, were gathering firewood at the time for their wheelchair-bound father, their uncle told Sky News. The drone struck close to a school sheltering displaced people near Beni Suhaila, according to staff at Nasser Hospital said.
Again, as in Jenin's extrajudicial execution where two young Palestinian men were murdered in cold blood, the murder of the two children were not investigated, and perpetrators was not arrested and more than likely in both cases the murderers were promoted by the IDF. Sometimes I wonder if Jews, especially in America and the rest of the civilized world, don't want children to die, WHERE is the Jewish outrage? That is said, I am not referring to progressive Jewish American organizations, which I have a great respect for and publicly praised quite frequently over the years.
I should point out here that I am talking specifically about the Apartheid Defense League (ADL) and the newly established Local group JewishColumbus who not only support the genocide in Gaza but also has the nerve to attack a local imam for speaking in defense of Palestinians.
After hearing of this group and reading part of its mission aimed to unite the community, engage, include, and secure every individual, I asked them few weeks ago to urge the government of Israel to release Mohammed Ibrahima, who is a 16-year-old Palestinian American hostage held by Israel for the last 9 months. I still have not get a response! No thanks to them, Mohammed was freed two days ago. I have to admit that JewishColumbus is very good at peddling Israeli ludicrous propaganda rather than representing the interest of local Jewish community. This Jewish organization is not Jewish itself. They must change its name to "ZionistColumbus."
Several Democratic U.S. senators, led by Sens. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) and Jack Reed (D-RI), urged Secretary of State Marco Rubio to move quickly to investigate a classified State Department Office of Inspector General report that reportedly lists “hundreds” of potential human rights violations by Israeli military units in Gaza, according to Miami Herald. However, those courageous lawmakers get only deaf ears from our Sec. of State.
Israel had failed to uphold the Gaza ceasefire agreement
* Since the declaration of a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip on October 10, 2025, Israel has violated the agreement with near daily attacks, killing at least 356 Palestinians and injuring 909 more. Hamas did honor the agreement per Al Jazeera report of last month.
* Hamas did free all the Israeli POWs and returned all the Israeli remains, except one which Hamas is working on to locate under the rubbles.
* Israel refused to withdraw its forces from Rafah crossing.
* Israel failed to increase the amount of humanitarian aid as agreed upon.
* Israel continues to occupy 53% of Gaza Strip.
* The IDF continues its genocide in Gaza daily but on a slower scale.
* Israel continues to hold about 10,000 hostages and the remains of 500 more.
* Israeli officials reneged on their repeated promises that the ware will be over as soon as the prisoners are freed.
* We all know the phrase, "Fish swim, birds fly, and Israelis lie."
The killing of children and unarmed civilians is a violation of international law. However, not one word from Zionist apologists about Israeli terrorism. With that, I mean the White House, the State Department, and mainstream media as well as major Jewish American organizations. That is truly shameful to say the least.
The US movement is morally and legally obligated to hold all those responsible to account. But instead, the US continued to provide diplomatic covers and arms to the government of Israel. What message is our government sending when it allows Israel's atrocities to go without consequences. This basically tell the world that Palestinian lives can be taken with impunity. The same impunity right now enables the Israeli forces to continue killing despite ceasefire agreement.
