Israel is deliberately destroying the entire health sector in Gaza as only 4 hospitals remain operational. "If these hospitals stop working, they will turn into mass graves, like Nasser and al-Shifa," Muhammad Zaqout, General Director of Hospitals in Gaza, told Mondoweiss.
In the first such divestment action by a major Christian denomination, the General Conference of The United Methodist Church has voted to divest from Israel bonds, and those of other countries carrying out prolonged military occupations.
No one can predict the future, but there are always educated guesses one can make based on history, as its a brutal teacher that doesn't care about being diplomatic.
Given the trend, it's only a matter of time before ruling class kills someone to send a message to everyone — to stop resisting.
In his speech on Thursday, Israeli president Herzog expressed his support for Jewish communities around the world and gave them a message of strength, in light of what he describes as proliferation of #antisemitism against Jewish students on campuses across the #US, referring to anti-war protests in American colleges and universities.
Referring to the pro-peace protests he said their actions are: "contaminated by hatred and antisemitism fueled by arrogance and ignorance.” Also, “In the face of violence, harassment and intimidation, as masked cowards smash windows and barricade doors, as they assault the truth and manipulate history, together we stand strong."
In making its case before the #ICJ, South Africa named #Herzog (and other Israeli officials) as having expressed genocidal intent against Palestinians.
A reminder, this is Isaac Herzog signing a bomb with a message “we count on you” on the sort of bombs Israel used in Gaza killing thousands of innocent Palestinian children, men and women.
Pay close attention to what he implies but doesnt say.
Shitlib fucks like this are as bad as the fascist scum — as fascists show their colours openly where as these preachy fuckers portray themselves as the "reasonable adults" while pushing the "both sides" argument.
Our enemy calling us names is perfectly fine because the contrast is clear & we know where we stand. But the disgusting argument of there are legitimate arguments on both sides (literally enabling genocide) but we need to ensure we "balance it [genocide]" is what substantive portion of argument is i.e our goon killed too many, so we better stop killing more as it looks bad & may its too much cognitive dissonance to process at once.
I am sure this "reasonable adult in the room" (the "centrist"/so called "progressive" kind) also thinks Empire is better than North Korea (taking his own example). North Korean State despite being a despicable thug is nothing compared to the crimes of Empire — once you put on a balance the crimes of Empire vs Crimes of Kim Jong Un/his ancestors. Both are filth but North Korean thug is a lesser filth than Empire.
Holding that "noble" world view is what they call being a "reasonable adult".
At UCLA, looks like State goons shot someone in the face, in additional brutalising the rest of students violently.
Despite me being a pessimist (largely due to the stuff I read & experiences of others I personally heard in real life), I assumed they would start blood letting little later once they find a more opportune time (thru instigation & rest of tactics they have at their disposal), as only a day before they exposed themselves as an extension of fascist thuggery, but no, they realised its an opportunity to start attacking students right away. They are making me look like an optimist.
In essence, they sent the fascist goons to attack the day before, so they can come prepared to attack themselves a day later.
State–Capital–Fascist nexus is materialising sooner than we expect.
Fascism never dies a silent death. Capital never dies a silent death. State never dies a silent death
‘fewer than 1% of all complaints against Israeli soldiers result in prosecutions’
It’s a pity this item isn’t able to convey the endless repetition of such events in the decades since Israel began using its military for policing under a set of repressive laws designed solely to repress and harass Palestinians, an institutional systemic war crime that dwarfs these individual incidents.
According to Saudi al-Hadath news, the establishment of “The Union of Arab Tribes” was announced in Egypt on Wednesday. The union will have a role in confronting and stopping Israeli displacement plans, but will also play an important role in the humanitarian aid that will be provided to the Palestinians in Gaza.
Cairo has repeatedly stressed that it rejects any plans to displace Palestinians from their homeland to Egypt or elsewhere. However, there are allegations that El-Arjani's company "Hala" has profited greatly from evacuating Gazans through Rafah crossing for thousands of dollars per person.
