Israel has turned Gaza into a giant kill zone, with hundreds of Palestinians — including many children — gunned down while trying to collect food at so-called “humanitarian” distribution centers. With the help of Corporate America, the genocide has been operationalized, normalized, and broadcast in real time.

Craig Mokhiber joins Rania Khalek live on Dispatches to discuss the method behind Israel’s madness, the collapse of international law, the U.S. sanctioning UN officials while de-listing former al-Qaeda leaders, Israel’s plan to herd Palestinians into Rafah, the war on Iran, and the global war on free speech.

They also highlight a rare bright spot: the public’s shifting opinion on Palestine, marked by Zohran Mamdani’s stunning victory in NYC despite a smear campaign.

Is this really it?!

Us waking up every morning,

tell you about a massacre

that happened overnight?

Is our only job to

report on our deaths,

film our cut-off bodies,

and ask you for help?

When do YOU wake up?

Is it ok with you to wake up

to find your house on fire?

to find your child charred?

to find your wife in a hospital

with no medicine?

to find your neighborhood

a heap of rubble?

to not wake up?

Wake up!!

Enough watching us while sitting

on a chair

or reclining on a couch.

We are drowning in your silence.

We are screaming

but you took off your ears.

You put them in your earbud cases.

We see the blood

as it gushes from the cases.

The blood is our cries, our tears,

our BLOOD.
