Week of February 2 Wrapped Up: “Biden Says U.S. ‘Shall Respond’ After Drone Strike by Iran-Backed Group Kills Three U.S. Troops in Jordan”
We are back with yet another week wrapped up for you, our tough February 2, 2024. While this week’s events do not depart significantly from the usual cadence of sheer inhumanity, I cannot help but reflect upon the disheartening essence of our generation. As one of the witnesses to the genocidal acts being circulated like mere accidents — while not firsthand, it has become increasingly challenging to maintain optimism for humanity in the face of this unmistakable inaction.
But not to linger so much on my own personal sentiments and segue into our focal point, here are the top five news stories that have indisputably dominated conversations throughout the week.
“Federal Judge Dismisses Case Seeking to Force U.S. to Pressure Israel to Stop Bombing Gaza”
Though the initial reaction to the headline may evoke a sense of contempt and perhaps elicit a few dismissive eye-rolls, it is worth noting that the federal court’s dismissal stems from its jurisdictional limitations. If anything, it is heartening to acknowledge that the presiding judge has articulated the possibility of Biden’s complicity in the ongoing genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza.
“Undercover Israeli Troops Dressed As Medical Staff Kill Three Militants in West Bank Hospital Raid, Officials Say”
I find it unnecessary to delve extensively into commentary on this matter. Suffice it to say that this news piece is coming from the same CNN that has recently disseminated disinformation with the help of authorities — including Biden — who propagated a notorious hoax involving alleged acts of infant beheading.
“Biden Says U.S. ‘Shall Respond’ After Drone Strike by Iran-Backed Group Kills Three U.S. Troops in Jordan”
By “shall respond,” should we expect yet another war in the region? I mean, at this point, I feel that the Middle East has regrettably transformed into a playground where acts of indiscriminate destruction unfold with overt impunity as if the entire region is just part of massive clinical research. It is as though the entire region is meant to be used for a vast clinical research domain, of course with the salient distinction that ethnic cleansing appears to be an integral component of this inhuman process.
“Black Pastors Pressure Biden to Call for a Cease-Fire in Gaza”
It is heartening to witness the manifestation of Black solidarity with Palestinians. Years prior, during the tragic loss of George Floyd within the Black community in the United States, Palestinians were notably vocal advocates, actively lending their support to the Black Lives Matter Movement.
“Israeli Settlers Hold Conference on Resettlement in Gaza”
Unsurprisingly, the conference featured prominently infamous ministers like Ben-Gvir. This particular piece of news is a compelling piece of evidence that there is more to the genocide in Gaza than meets the eye. The systematic and persistent forced displacement of Palestinians appears integral to a broader strategy aimed at vacating lands for subsequent redevelopment as new illegal settlements.
Now that we have this week of February 2, 2024, all wrapped up, see you all in five days.
