Another travesty that, like Epstein, a lot of powerful people would rather you not look too closely. From Seymour Hersh at seymourhersh.substack.com:

An eyewitness account of the ongoing devastation in Gaza

The world remains on fire in many places, but it is easy to forget that things are still burning in Gaza, and the worst is not over for the Palestinians.

Now squeezed into one half of Gaza, the Palestinians are staying put and doing all they can to stay alive. Some are even preparing to plant their crops for the coming season.

It is a miracle of endurance despite the fact that, as the New York Times reported this week, the Israeli Air Force and Army have destroyed more than 2,500 buildings in Gaza since the ceasefire agreement with Israel was signed last October. Hundreds of thousands of Palestinian survivors are now living in tents that are flooded in heavy rain. It is a zone that is very cold.

    FUSA supplies all the bombs and gear without question as external enemies wait until we are dangerously low?
