As Trump sucks all of the oxygen out of the room with headlines all over the world, this is what he has given his okay to Netanyahu to do:
“A baby girl identified as Janan Saleh al-Sakafi has died of malnutrition and dehydration in the Rantisi Hospital, west of Gaza City, more than two months after the start of Israel’s blockade on the Gaza Strip, according to Al Jazeera’s team on the ground.

KHAN YOUNIS, Gaza Strip (AP) — Screaming in anguish as the desperate crowd crushes them against a barrier, young children and adults frantically wave pots and pans at charity workers, begging for a portion of some of the last food aid left in Gaza: Rice.
The chaos at the community kitchen in Khan Younis in southern Gaza on Friday was too overwhelming for Niveen Abu Arar. She tried and tried, but the 33-year-old mother of eight didn’t get to the front of the crowd in time. She left with her pot empty, and her eyes full of tears.
“Until when will life be like that? We’re slowly dying. We haven’t eaten bread for a month and a half. There is no flour. There is nothing,” said Abu Arar, whose ninth child, a 1-year-old boy, was killed in an Israeli strike near their home at the start of the war in 2023. “We don’t know what to do … We don’t have money. What do we get for them?”
She cradled a toddler in her lap as she spoke. With no milk to provide, she poured water into a baby bottle and pressed it into her youngest daughter’s mouth, hoping to stave off the baby’s hunger pangs.

And meanwhile, where is the outrage of the fundamentalist Christians who form the foundation of the Trump support? Crickets at best, quiet and out-loud support of the mass starvation of Palestinians more likely. What has happened to this once great nation of ours when tens of millions will look the other way while peoples of a certain nationality are starving to death. And meanwhile, if there are actually demonstrations against such cruelty, Trump and Stephen Miller will find ways to demonize those who participate. Never have I been so ashamed of this once great nation as under Trump and his hateful cult.
