**Quote from Mearsheimer**

***““The evidence is overwhelming that Israel is an albatross around our neck.”***

**The AI is mentioned. As well as the potential for warfare with Iran**

[**Israel continues to deny this reality**](https://www.axios.com/2024/04/11/us-official-famine-northern-gaza)

Samantha Power, the director of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), told lawmakers **Wednesday that people in parts of northern Gaza have begun [facing famine](https://www.axios.com/2024/03/18/gaza-famine-starvation-imminent-israel-war-un).**

**White House press secretary** Karine Jean-Pierre [said during a briefing](https://www.youtube.com/live/J1zSeBAjrU8?si=TOqflXw7hb8ne0to&t=2866) on Thursday didn’t directly comment on Power’s assessment **but noted that IPC’s report from last month said famine was imminent.**

- “We know how dire the situation is in Gaza, so we are certainly deeply concerned about these reports,” Jean-Pierre said, adding that the administration “will continue to push Israel to increase the flow.”

**Israel is looking ever more genocidal- I’ve been hesitant to use that term, because it’s very loaded and can be weaponized. That said genocidal is looking to be the accurate terminology**
