"Red Line" Touted by U.S. Is Banister for Murderers

Pyongyang, June 13 (KCNA) -- The U.S. moves to protect and encourage the Israeli army's massacre of Palestinians are touching off bitter anger of the international community.

On June 6, the Israeli army made an air raid on a school, run by an UN organization in the Gaza Strip, under the pretext of a "mopping-up operation against Hamas", causing the disaster in which dozens of civilians including 14 children and 9 women were killed. The army dropped GBU-39, a GPS guided bomb, offered by the U.S.

On May 26, Israel dropped the same bomb on a refugee camp in Rafah, killing more than 40 civilians.

The whole world is vehemently censuring Israel for its massacre in disregard of international law and humanitarian principle.

But this time, too, a spokesperson for the U.S. Department of State patronized the horrible massacre, claiming that Israel did not cross the "red line" set by the U.S.

According to his words, the "red line" set by Washington in connection with Israel's military operations means a "large-scale operation in Rafah" and it is the U.S. stand that it has not yet seen such large-scale operation.

His words mean that the death toll of innocent civilians in the Gaza Strip that has reached nearly 40 000 is not enough for the U.S. and Israel but scarce.

They are the reckless remarks that can be made by only rare murderers who regard massacre as a common practice and pleasure. They revealed who is a backer for Israel running amuck in disregard of the strong denunciation by the international society and that the "threat" and "warning" against Israel touted by the U.S. before the world are no more than hypocritical sophism.

World media say that the U.S. seems to make "diplomatic efforts" but is positively patronizing Israel's actions and driving the situation into a more dangerous phase by switching the "blue light" for the tragedy lasting in the Gaza Strip.

Even at this moment, Israel's massacre is growing in the Gaza Strip under the patronage of the U.S.

On June 8, 274 Palestinians were mercilessly killed and nearly 700 wounded by the Israel's military attack on the mid Gaza Strip, but the U.S. "red line" and its rulers remain unchanged.

The reality goes to clearly prove that the "red line" set by the U.S. is not a "check line" for defending the international justice and humanitarianism but a "banister" for its stooges and murderers.

The world is spitting at the disgusting entity called the U.S., the chieftain of aggression and massacre which is only committing all sorts of vicious acts while styling itself the "guardian of international order" and "apostle of justice and peace". -0-

WASHINGTON—On the morning of June 5, a coalition of D.C. labor union locals led a picket action in front of the John A. Wilson Building on Pennsylvania Ave, which houses Mayor Muriel Bowser’s office and the D.C. Council. The picket action was one of the first labor-led demonstrations in the country featuring a coalition of unions fighting for a ceasefire resolution at a municipal level.

The coalition featured leaders and rank-and-file members from the Coalition of Labor Union Women (CLUW), Asian Pacific American Labor Alliance (APALA), SAG-AFTRA & Sister Guild Members for Ceasefire, IWW DMV Education Workers Organizing Committee, UAW, American Postal Workers Union (APWU), AFA-CWA, SEIU Local 500, ATU Local 689, and the Georgetown Alliance of Graduate Employees.

The demonstration follows nearly eight months of Israel’s U.S.-backed genocide in Gaza and countless efforts by the D.C. for Ceasefire Now Coalition to get a councilmember to introduce a ceasefire resolution on the local level to join the over 100 municipalities across the United States that have already passed them.

To date, leaders of local labor unions like the National Nurses United, SAG-AFTRA, and CLUW have all participated in actions in an individual capacity, including press conferences, mass meetings, and disruptions of council proceedings but this marked the first official action by their unions. This is a major advance for the unions in the area on the ceasefire issue.

“As a union that stands for equality, social justice, human and labor rights, APWU members have been shocked and saddened by the tragic and ongoing violence in Israel and Palestine,” APWU President Mark Dimondstein said.

“A humanitarian catastrophe is unfolding in Gaza and worsening by the day. As a District resident and a labor leader, I join this urgent call on the D.C. Council to pass a ceasefire resolution now.”

“Rank-and-file workers and union activists have been in the streets of DC for months demanding a permanent ceasefire and self-determination for the Palestinian people,” Metro D.C. CLUW President Chelsea Bland said.

“It is past time for the D.C. Council to heed the call from residents, workers, and visitors of the District and be on the right side of history. With each passing day, we are watching absolute terror being rained down upon the people of Gaza. The Metro D.C. Chapter of the Coalition of Labor Union Women calls on the D.C. Council to pass a ceasefire resolution now.”

Leaders of Wednesday’s effort vowed to continue pressuring the D.C. Council and to involve the labor movement on a more consistent basis, potentially leading to a multi-day or weekly picket in front of the Wilson Building.

With the D.C. primary election season ending with a majority of pro-ceasefire candidates winning their races and the budget period ending on June 12, the Council now has a mandate from the D.C. community to finally speak out on this issue after several months of ignoring and being dismissive of their constituency.

  • white stretches are missing data
  • disappearance of green/yellow "cool"/"comfortable" zone in January mornings
  • disappearance of yellow "comfortable" zone from all mornings year round
  • appearance of dark red "sweltering" zones throughout Jan/Feb/March/April afternoons. This is at an avg relative humidity of 84%.
  • Lagos is also a coastal city, so the rest of Nigeria and interior Africa is even worse
