Israel stands by as aid convoys come under attack in Gaza

Palestinians line up for breadFor the past year, hungry Gazans have waited in desperation for more food to enter the besieged territory from Israel. After aid trucks have been allowed in, there have been episodes of looting.

But now, armed criminal gangs are intercepting entire convoys.

Truck driver Abu Ahmad was in the worst incident so far when more than 100 trucks were attacked on Saturday. The gangs shot through the windows of his truck, he told CBS News, saying they would kill any driver who didn't stop.

Ahmad said Israeli tanks were nearby and an Israeli drone watched the entire attack unfold.

However, Israel's military says it is not responsible for protecting the aid convoys, a premise with which former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert disagrees.

TVNL Comment:  This is one of the many charges against Netanyahu and Gallant by the ICC. Starvtion cannot by weaponized.  Israelis stand by and watch the gangs stopping aid to hungry children.  What an ongoing horror.

"The Israeli government doesn't want it to happen. They want to punish the Palestinians, because the basic premise is that all of the Palestinians in Gaza support the terrorists and therefore they all should be punished," Olmert told CBS News, adding that if the Israeli army is able to build roads in Gaza, it should be "capable of making the necessary logistical arrangements" to provide humanitarian support for the people that live there.

Humanitarian Aid Efforts At Erez West Crossing

On Thursday, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and Mohammed Deif, a Hamas leader who Israel claims was killed in a July airstrike. The charges included "crimes against humanity" and using "starvation as a method of warfare."

Netanyahu called the allegations "antisemitic," and the White House said it "fundamentally rejected" the decision.

Already, the poorest Gazans scavenge for food in garbage dumps as pitifully little aid gets across the Israeli border. Much of what does make it into Gaza is being stolen at gunpoint, exacerbating the territory's humanitarian crisis.

It's clear who needs to solve it, according to Juliette Touma, a spokesperson for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency in Gaza.

"It is up to the state of Israel to ensure that aid reaches people in need," Touma said. "They are the occupying power."

Local Gaza police used to protect the convoys in Gaza, but since February Israeli soldiers have been targeting them, accusing them of links with Hamas.

Meanwhile, almost two million Gazans are struggling to survive.

"But to want to starve them, hundreds of thousands of people, to prevent them getting the food, the water which they need for survival, is atrocious, unacceptable and I think that the Israeli government is creating something that may be come back to haunt us in a very, very painful way," Olmert said.

Who is Pam Bondi? Donald Trump taps former Florida AG to become top U.S. law officer

Pam BondiPresident-elect Donald Trump has tapped former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi as his choice for U.S. attorney general following Matt Gaetz’s withdrawal of his nomination.

Trump announced late Thursday that he would nominate Bondi to become the nation’s top law-enforcement officer, citing her work as a prosecutor.

“Pam was a prosecutor for nearly 20 years, where she was very tough on Violent Criminals, and made the streets safe for Florida Families,” he said in a statement. “Then, as Florida’s first female Attorney General, she worked to stop the trafficking of deadly drugs, and reduce the tragedy of Fentanyl Overdose Deaths, which have destroyed many families across our Country.”

Bondi is likely to have an easier time winning Senate confirmation than Gaetz, who faced opposition from some Senate Republicans.

Putin says Russia tested a new intermediate-range ballistic missile on Ukraine

Russia tests missile on UkraineRussia fired an experimental intermediate-range ballistic missile at Ukraine overnight, Russian President Vladimir Putin said in a TV speech Thursday, warning that the Kremlin could use it against military installations of countries that have allowed Ukraine to use their missiles to strike inside Russia.

Putin said the new missile, called "Oreshnik," Russian for "hazel," used a nonnuclear warhead.

Ukraine's air force said a ballistic missile hit the central Ukrainian city of Dnipro, saying it was launched from the Astrakhan region in southeastern Russia, more than 770 miles away. Ukrainian officials said it and other rockets damaged an industrial facility, a rehabilitation center for people with disabilities and residential buildings. Three people were injured, according to regional authorities.

Two dead as rain and snow from bomb cyclone pummel Pacific north-west

Bomb cyclone

A major storm pummeled northern California with rain and snow on Thursday and threatened to cause flash flooding and rockslides, in the latest wave of damaging weather to wash over the west coast.

The National Weather Service (NWS) extended a flood watch into Saturday for areas north of San Francisco as the strongest atmospheric river – a large plume of moisture flowing onshore – that California and the Pacific north-west has seen this season inundated the region. The storm system unleashed winds the night before that left two people dead and hundreds of thousands without power in Washington state.

The weather service office in Sacramento, California, said early on Thursday in a social media post that slick roads with ponding water were observed across parts of the valley and foothills, and there were some snow-covered roads in the mountains.

Merkel: I mistook Trump for ‘someone completely normal’

Merkel

Angela Merkel’s first mistake with Donald Trump, she says in her keenly awaited new memoir, was treating him as if he were “completely normal”, but she quickly learned of his “emotional” nature and soft spot for authoritarians and tyrants.

In extracts from her more than 700-page tome, Freedom, published in the German weekly Die Zeit, the former German chancellor says she initially misread Trump during their first meeting in 2017 in the Oval Office, where he attempted to humiliate her by refusing to shake her hand before the cameras.

Neil Barsky: Hear me out: RFK Jr could be a transformational health secretary

Neil BarskyAmong the cast of characters poised to join the Trump administration, no one is as exasperating, polarizing or potentially dangerous as Robert F Kennedy Jr. But in a twist that is emblematic of our times, no single nominee has the potential to do as much good for the American people.

Bear with me. RFK Jr has been rightly pilloried for promoting a litany of theories linking vaccines with autism, chemicals in the water supply to gender identity, how people contract Aids and saying the Covid-19 vaccine, which in fact stemmed the deadliest pandemic of our lifetimes, was itself “the deadliest vaccine ever made”. He claimed Covid-19 was meant to target certain ethnic groups, Black people and Caucasians, while sparing Asians and Jewish people.

Walking Pneumonia Cases Are Surging Right Now. The Reasons Why May Surprise You.

Walking pneumoniaThough seasonal illnesses like the flu are just starting to gain some traction, there’s one respiratory disease that’s sickening tons of people across the United States right now: walking pneumonia.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention published an alert last month warning people about the uptick in walking pneumonia cases. The infection, which is caused by the bacteria Mycoplasma pneumoniae, damages the lining of the respiratory tract, including the throat, windpipe and lungs. The symptoms, including coughing and wheezing, are typically milder than other lung infections, so people tend to not stay home in bed, hence the nickname walking pneumonia.

“The biggest takeaway is that Mycoplasma infections are generally mild and improve without antibiotics,” said Dr. Zachary Hoy, a board-certified pediatric infectious disease specialist at Pediatrix Medical Group in Nashville.

Here’s what’s going on with the explosion of walking pneumonia cases:

Jussie Smollett conviction in hate crime hoax overturned by Illinois Supreme Court

Jussie Smollett

The Illinois Supreme Court has overturned actor Jussie Smollett's conviction for staging a fake hate crime against himself.

In a decision issued Thursday, the court said the "Empire" actor, 42, should not have been charged for the same incident a second time after the original charges brought against him were dropped in 2019. Smollett was alleged to have falsely reported to police that he was the victim of a hate crime. He was found guilty in 2021 on five counts of disorderly conduct.

"Because the initial charges were dismissed as part of an agreement" with Smollett and he "performed his part of the agreement, the second prosecution was barred," the ruling said.

Top war-crimes court issues arrest warrants for Netanyahu, ex-defense minister and a Hamas leader

bibiThe world’s top war-crimes court issued arrest warrants Thursday for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, his former defense minister and Hamas’ military chief, accusing them of crimes against humanity in connection with the 13-month war in Gaza.

The warrants said there was reason to believe Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant have used “starvation as a method of warfare” by restricting humanitarian aid and have intentionally targeted civilians in Israel’s campaign against Hamas in Gaza — charges Israeli officials deny.

The action by the International Criminal Court came as the death toll from Israel’s campaign in Gaza passed 44,000 people, according to local health authorities, who say more than half of those killed were women and children. Their count does not differentiate between civilians and combatants.
