Russians claim they suffered over 20,000 sanctions by Western rulers for invading to protect ethnic Russians – Meanwhile the same Western rulers refuse to even sanction Israeli Genocide, making themselves complicit in an ongoing terrorist massacre… No Gods No Masters!‘
JERUSALEM/CAIRO, May 17 (Reuters) – Israel’s airforce killed at least 146 Palestinians in new attacks on Gaza over the past 24 hours and injured many more, local health authorities said on Saturday, as the country appeared set to press ahead with a new ground offensive.
Israeli strikes since Thursday have seen one of the deadliest phases of bombardment since a truce collapsed in March. The latest strikes came as U.S. President Donald Trump ended his Middle East tour on Friday with no apparent progress towards a new ceasefire.

Air strikes have reportedly killed hundreds of people in Gaza as Israel intensified its bombardment in line with a plan for “conquest” of the enclave.
Although reports vary, health officials told Al Jazeera that at least 100 people had been killed by Israeli attacks on Friday, with many more missing under the rubble.

That added to the 143 reported killed the previous day, and pushed the overall death toll in the Palestinian territory to more than 53,000 since Israel launched its onslaught in October 2023 after a Hamas attack that killed around 1,200 Israelis and saw 250 or so taken captive.
Hamas has called on the international community to hold Israel to account for what it described as a “barbaric escalation”. The Israeli military has not commented on the strikes.
Earlier this week, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated a promise to push ahead with a promised escalation in pursuit of his aim to destroy Hamas, the Palestinian armed group that governs Gaza.
