Report: More than 12 Palestinian rights groups have suspended all engagement with the UN rapporteur on torture, Alice Edwards.

The groups condemn her UN report's focus on “hostage-taking as a form of torture”, which, they say, dehumanises Palestinians "as less worthy victims":

"We cannot continue to engage in a process that fails to actively challenge impunity for perpetrators", said the groups.

Amnesty has concluded "that Israel’s devastating war on Gaza meets the legal threshold for genocide"...

& calls on EU leaders "to halt all arms transfers to Israel, ban trade with illegal Israeli settlements, & ensure accountability for Israeli crimes."

Report: Palestinian Authority continues to attack & kill Palestinians in Jenin

During a siege on Jenin, PA security forces killed an unarmed 19-year-old civilian & a 13-year-old child as well as a resistance commander.

Bcz Israel says it doesn't trust the PA to fight Palestinian resistance, many Palestinians believe the PA is attacking the resistance to prove the PA backs Israel.

One major reason why so many countries kowtow to US demands on Israel is the devastating nature of US trade & defense treaties:

The US is able to use its treaties to crush the economies of treaty partners that sanction Israel.

Other reasons for submission to US demands:

Racist settler-colonial genociders support each other.

Countries refuse to admit Israel's genocide in order to avoid ICJ charges of complicity.

HUAC had originally been tasked with the investigation of enemies of the United States, like Nazis & stalinists, but in the course of existence all too often moved off track, persecuting many innocent people, who were basically just dissenting with official U.S. policies without being enemies of the U.S. like convinced disciples of mass murderer Stalin.

Whatever, Walsh is right about Trump's un-American activities & statements, proofs of which are eg his traitorous one on one meeting with Stalin's imaginary grandson Putin in Helsinki, and his hostile actions directed against the United States legislative branch, culminating in the violent insurrectionary assault on the U.S. Capitol on Jan 6, 2021, only to name these two.
