‘Total fucking disgrace’: Ex-Obama officials slam Biden’s Gaza policies

Former senior #Obama administration officials criticise #Biden’s #Gaza policies on foreign policy podcast

from #MiddleEastEye
By #MEE staff
Published date: 2 May 2025 19:39 BST

Rhodes: “#Israel doesn’t want to end the war … if they were willing to end the war, they would get the hostages out. The idea that they need to continue to fight the war against #Hamas in Gaza - I’m sorry, there’s no security need to do it. You’re just talking about an already traumatised people, including a lot of injured people, who are being bombed in tents with no food and medicine.”

Vietor: “What a total fucking disgrace the Biden administration’s policy on Gaza was… Loyalty to #Netanyahu blinded him to the carnage, the total immorality of the policy, and US complicity in that policy.”

On the Day He Was Fired as National Security Advisor, Mike Waltz Used an Israeli App to Archive Signal Messages

A #tech company with ties to Israeli intelligence, TeleMessage’s riskier app appears to be favored by Trump’s national security team.

"During Wednesday’s meeting for #Trump’s cabinet, Mike Waltz checked the app on his phone, using what appeared to be Signal. As news broke that #Waltz had lost his job as National Security Advisor, images from the cabinet meeting circulated widely online on Thursday. Upon closer inspection of the photos, it turned out that Waltz was not using the traditional #Signal app. He appeared to be using an archiving app made by #Israeli firm TeleMessage, which sells companion apps meant to enable archiving messages."

"The 1 May protests were supported by hundreds of organizations and set to take place in nearly 1,000 cities, organizers said, with a focus on rallying against the Trump administration and “billionaire profiteers”. Turnout was predicted to be lower than the previous two April #protests because 1 May is a weekday, but tens of thousands were expected to turn out. Cities across the US from New York to Seattle to Anchorage, Alaska, saw major demonstrations."

Nationwide May Day Protests Target Trump's 'Billionaire Agenda'

"This May Day we are fighting back," said organizer May Day Strong. "We are demanding a country that puts our families over their fortunes."

May 01, 2025

" Hundreds of thousands of #workers rallied from coast to coast Thursday to mark International Workers' Day with spirited demonstrations supporting labor rights and protesting President Donald #Trump's "billionaire agenda" and attacks on the rule of law, #unions, #immigrants, #Palestine defenders, transgender people, and others.

Rallies took place in hundreds of cities and towns across the United States in what the #MayDayStrong coalition, which led the day of action along with the 50501 movement and others, called "a demand for a country that invests in working families—not billionaire profits." "

Thousands of veterans face foreclosure after Trump's VA ends key mortgage program

from #NPR #NationalPublicRadio [USA]
May 1, 2025 5:00 AM ET
By Chris Arnold and Quil Lawrence

"The U.S. #DepartmentOfVeteransAffairs, as of Thursday, has ended a new #mortgage-rescue program that so far has helped about 20,000 veterans avoid #foreclosure and keep their homes.

The move leaves millions of military #veterans with far worse options than most other American homeowners if they run into trouble paying their home loans. And it comes at a time when nearly 90,000 #VA loans are seriously past due, with 33,000 of those already in the foreclosure process, according to the data and analytics firm ICE."
