It’s So, So Bad, And It’s About To Get A Whole Lot Worse, by Caitlin Johnstone

There doesn’t seem to be any potential off ramps from the increasingly likely war with Iran, which could go nuclear. From Caitlin Johnstone at caitlinjohnstone.com:

“And as horrifying as both these developing stories are, they’re going to be shifted to the back burner as soon as Israel begins its planned attack on Iran.”

Things are so, so bad in the middle east right now, and from the looks of things they’re about to get a whole lot worse. 

Israel is going full scorched-earth on northern Gaza in advancement of its long-planned ethnic cleansing of the area. The IDF is besieging and attacking civilian populations throughout the north, and the UN World Food Programme reports that no food aid whatsoever has been allowed in so far this month.

Hossam Shabat, one of the last remaining journalists in northern Gaza, reports the following on Twitter:

“The Israeli occupation has besieged us in this area, which includes Beit Hanoun, Beit Lahia, and the Jabalia refugee camp, for the past eight days. Since October 1st, they have stopped all food, water, and medical supplies from entering. They have threatened hospitals to shut down, stopped fuel from entering in order for hospitals to operate, and are targeting anyone who moves. So far, 400 people have been killed. People are bleeding in the streets, and we can’t reach them.”

Another post from Shabat:

“Due to the Israeli occupation siege on Jabalia camp, most injuries caused by the occupation’s bullets and shelling lead to death, as there are no medical resources or capabilities available to effectively treat the wounded.”

Another post, the most recent as of this writing:

“We are literally living our final moments. O Allah, grant us a good end.”

    It only gets worse because that’s what the new normal is.

    No Great Reset Leap Forward without WWIII.

    No alien invasion anti-chrysler LARP without WWIII.

    No vote on it in muh demockracy.

    That is so cute when serf wage slaves think that they have a say in anything.
