As Israel continues to pummel the Palestinian people with bombs and artillery shot into Gaza from troops amassed along its borders in preparation for a ground invasion, the Biden administration has reaffirmed its unwavering support for Israelâs war crimes and crimes against humanity against the Palestinians.
Israel could not commit its crimes without the overwhelming support of the U.S. government. U.S. officials are aiding and abetting Israelâs crimes with massive military aid and scotching any criticism of Israel in the UN Security Council.
President Joe Biden said he didnât think Israelâs attack on Gaza has been a âsignificant overreaction.â He expressed his âunwavering supportâ for Israelâsâright to defend itselfâ from rocket attacks from Gaza, but he did not condemn Israelâs airstrikes that are killing Palestinian civilians and destroying residential buildings, or the Israeli attacks on worshippers at the Al Aqsa Mosq

Murray State baseball finished the last game of a five-game homestand with yet another walk-off win at Johnny Reagan Field. The Racers managed to outlast Southern Illinois University in an 11-inning contest that resulted in a 5-4 victory for the Racers.
The Salukis bested Murray State earlier on in the season and came to Reagan Field 33-14 on the season. However, some key bullpen pitching and timely hitting helped the Racers secure the win and equalize the season series against SIU.
“You never get tired of winning,” said Head Coach Dan Skirka. “And those are sweet. The guys fought. We were down early, came back and just had some really clutch performances. A couple guys out of the bullpen were lights-out.”
