The Gaza Siege: A Harsh Spotlight on the West’s Moral Bankruptcy

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:53:46 GMT

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said recently on CNN, “It’s not only our war, it’s your war too.” He was right: The Biden administration has armed, funded, and supported Netanyahu every step of the way as Israel wages a campaign of terror bombings against Gaza. In five weeks of sustained Israeli airstrikes and ground operations, one in 200 residents of Gaza has been killed. Of the more than 11,000 deaths, 4,600 of them are children. President Joe Biden remains entrenched in his support for the scorched-earth campaign of his “great, great friend” Netanyahu. This week on Intercepted, independent journalist Sharif Abdel Kouddous and Jeremy Scahill discuss the horrors facing the people of Gaza and the history of Biden’s support for some of the most extreme actions of Israel. They discuss the unprecedented killing of journalists in Gaza and the violent campaign being waged by Netanyahu-backed Israeli settlers against Palestinians in the West Bank. Kouddous also discusses Isra...

MUMBAI, India (AP) — The International Cricket Council defended a late pitch switch for the first of the Cricket World Cup semifinals between host India and New Zealand.The pitch for the match at the Wankhede stadium has been in the spotlight, with unconfirmed reports that the Indian team management requested the pitch used for the Australia-Afghanistan game on Nov. 7, and not a fresh, unused wicket.The No. 7 pitch was slated for use at this semifinal but was changed to No. 6 at a late stage.“Changes to planned pitch rotations are common towards the end of an event of this length, and has already happened a couple of times,” the ICC said. “This change was made on the recommendation of the venue curator in conjunction with our host.”There is no grass cover on the pitch, yet it should aid the batters again.“A World Cup semi should be played on a fresh pitch … It’s as simple as that,” former England skipper Michael Vaughan said on X, formerly known as Twitter. ___AP cricket: http...
