Israel’s Disinformation Campaign Against UNRWA
The claim that Israel's actions do not meet the definition of genocide was throughly debated by scores of countries in the ICJ hearing last January. South Africa's presentation, for example: https://webtv.un.org/en/asset/k11/k11gf661b3 Here is one more recent report refuting this Zionist talking point that you repeat: "Conclusions 93. The overwhelming nature and scale of Israel’s assault on Gaza and the destructive conditions of life it has inflicted reveal an intent to physically destroy Palestinians as a group. This report finds that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the threshold indicating the commission of the following acts of genocide against Palestinians in Gaza has been met: killing members of the group; causing serious bodily or mental harm to groups’ members; and deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part. Genocidal acts were approved and given effect following statements of genocidal intent issued by senior military and government officials. 94. Israel has sought to conceal its eliminationist conduct of hostilities sanctioning the commission of international crimes as IHL-abiding. Distorting IHL customary rules, including distinction, proportionality and precautions, Israel has de facto treated an entire protected group and its life-sustaining infrastructure as ‘terrorist’ or ‘terrorist-supporting’, thus transforming everything and everyone into either a target or collateral damage, hence killable or destroyable. In this way, no Palestinian in Gaza is safe by definition. This has had devastating, intentional effects, costing the lives of tens of thousands of Palestinians, destroying the fabric of life in Gaza and causing irreparable harm to its entire population." https://www.un.org/unispal/document/anatomy-of-a-genocide-report-of-the-special-rapporteur-on-the-situation-of-human-rights-in-the-palestinian-territory-occupied-since-1967-to-human-rights-council-advance-unedited-version-a-hrc-55/ Regarding the claim that Israel gave up Gaza in 2005: As many have observed, Gaza continued to be an open air prison where Israel controlled entry and exit of goods and people. This meet the definition of occupation under international law, even if settlers and IDF were no longer inside Gaza. "Despite the Israeli disengagement, Gaza is still considered occupied by Israel under international law.[20][21] The current blockade prevents people and goods from freely entering or leaving the territory, leading to Gaza often being called an "open-air prison".[22][23] The UN, as well as at least 19 human-rights organizations, have urged Israel to lift the blockade.[24] Israel has justified its blockade on the strip with wanting to stop flow of arms, but Palestinians and rights groups say it amounts to collective punishment and exacerbates dire living conditions." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaza_Strip Regarding the collective punishment mentioned in the Wiki above, the Guardian reported in 2012 on Israeli government documents released inder court order covering the period of 2007-10: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2012/oct/17/israeli-military-calorie-limit-gaza -

Brian Thompson’s killing sparks outrage over state of US healthcare
I suspect his killing is just the beginning of middle class people who are incredibly frustrated with their lives, going out and deciding enough is enough. It just doesn't make sense when a CEO makes 6,000 times more than I do, and gets a $70 million golden parachute when he's fired. I suspect this will extend to healthcare, big pharma, insurance and banking in particular, all of which are perceived to be mafias. Are we noticing how little sympathy this guy is getting? They're trying to drum up sympathy by saying he's a father of two young boys. Who cares? What does that mean? Absolutely nothing. What kind of devastation did he preside over? How many claims did he deny? How many claims were denied during his leadership? How many people were sent at the poor house over his decisions? -

Why is that a concern to Israel? The international journalists are presumably not Israeli. -

Iran's ‘axis of resistance’ dealt a severe blow with the fall of Assad
Russian airbases needed as staging posts also come into it. Freedom for the Syrian people, not so much.
