It’s time to declare Israel a rogue state

Another day, another tragedy in Gaza. At the time of writing, rescuers were pulling bodies out of the rubble after an Israeli air strike on a residential building in southern Gaza’s city of Rafah. Meanwhile, a few miles away in Khan Younis, the grisly effort of digging up bodies buried in mass graves on the grounds of the Nasser Hospital continues.
The Palestinian death toll is now more than 34,300, and 1.1 million people in Gaza are experiencing catastrophic levels of food insecurity.
The world is also on edge, as many fear a wider regional war after Iran sent a retaliatory barrage of drones and missiles into Israel following Israel’s strike on the Iranian consular building in Damascus.
Since then, Iran’s air defences brought down three suspected Israeli drones over the central city of Isfahan. Ignoring calls for caution from around the world – including from its closest partner and protector, the United States – Israel remains determined to conduct a costly ground operation in Rafah, where hundreds of thousands of civilians are sheltering.
Commentators and political figures have declared that Israel is a “liability” and that its leaders have “lost” their way.
Go Bernie!!! Now say it to Biden as well.
It is not antisemitic, pro-Hamas to point out number of Palestinians killed, wounded in Gaza: Sanders
US Senator Bernie Sanders has told Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, in a post on X, that it was “not antisemitic or pro-Hamas” to point out that “in a little over six months”, his “extremist government” has killed 34,000 Palestinians and wounded more than 77,000.
In an attached statement, Sanders said his comments were in response to the Israeli prime minister’s remarks yesterday that criticism of the Israeli government’s policies was antisemitic.
“Mr. Netanyahu. Antisemitism is a vile and disgusting form of bigotry that has done unspeakable harm to many millions of people. But, please do not insult the intelligence of the American people by attempting to distract us from the immoral and illegal policies of your extremist and racist government,” Sanders wrote in his closing remarks.
