Please stop referring to it as a “ceasefire.” It was NEVER a ceasefire. It is a business plan for Gaza.
We know why Jared Kushner is involved in the failing ceasefire talks. It's all about the real estate, finishing the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from it, and making money off of developing it.
Buying multi-million dollar jets and building a $250 million ballroom in the middle of a government shutdown where people's SNAP benefits are being eliminated. Even the optics are awful.
Thank you Democracy Now team for everything you do.
Quality Journalism! Thanks! Its rare these days.
Building a ballroom during a government shutdown? That’s gotta stop!
Guided missile warheads? To be used on United States citizens why would ICE need that?
Destroying the people's house, is there no historical preservation organization to stop this? Good God!
