Chaos inside Israel

 


Things beginning to come apart in Israel.

Infighting happening over the arrests of IOF soldiers who have been sodomizing Palestinian prisoners. Right-wingers stormed the base where they were being held.

The contradictions are mounting.

Keep the protests around the world growing as the pressure will surely continue to make it more likely that the genocidal regime in Tel Aviv will crash under the weight of international demands for liberation of the Palestinian people as well as the mounting insanity inside the country.

In addition Israel's economy is in crisis.

Back in Washington

At least a dozen junior staff members in Congress intensified their protests on Sunday night when they launched a website that allows them and other like-minded individuals to openly publish anonymous memoranda that criticize US policy regarding "Israel" and the war on Gaza, including the views of their own superiors, without fear of reprisal.

The forum, called the Congressional Dissent Channel, is modeled after the State Department’s dissent channel for Foreign Service officers, according to organizers. That channel was established throughout the Vietnam War, an additional war that sparked deep political rifts in the US and inspired a protest movement, especially among youth.

However, the new website is the exact opposite of that channel, which was a classified internal government system where publicly-identified writers offer opposing viewpoints that are carefully and confidentially distributed. It is a public forum where congressional aides can remain anonymous and expose internal conflict within their offices.
