"Navi Pillay of the UN Commission of Inquiry told Al Jazeera that her team has submitted 7,000 pieces of evidence to the International Criminal Court related to crimes committed by Israel and Hamas. “We have never seen anything like this,” she said to Al Jazeera’s James Bays."
#Gramnay / German Ambassador: Israel and we had military relations for years, I will not apologize for that
The German Ambassador to Israel, Stephan Seibert, said at the "Tel Aviv University - The Future of Israel" conference that "I do not see all of Europe and Germany following Spain and Ireland, which recognized a Palestinian state. We believe that a sustainable agreement should be in the form of a peace agreement based on two states, with all security arrangements."
Seibert added that "for many years there have been military relations between our two countries, and I will not apologize for that."
So Germany does not only profit from selling arms to Israel or receiving HighTech-drones like Heron for the Bundeswehr, the latter is also in the business of at least some German soldiers being trained by IDF in suppressing l insurrections as they do in occupied Palestinian territories so Bundeswehr is prepared for civil unrest under a state of emergency or martial law.
@dhayannada interesting connection … last year I was at a UN facility … they had a new Israeli recruit in their security. They also started profiling people, like they do in Israel. Profiling at the UN. Can you imagine how absurd it sounds. No intelligence, it’s not needed since the assumption is that brown people can be dangerous, or need to be humiliated, discouraged from participation and marginalized. This practices of an apartheid regime being mainstreamed, without anyone considering the consequences, is disturbing.
#Palestine / Jane Fonda: I miss Israel I fell in love with in the 1980's
It's not at all complicated. I'm not sure why Jane Fonda thinks this will help #Biden... Israel was already an apartheid state in the 1980s, and the occupation has been illegal since at least 1967. I'm sure Jane Fonda is not stupid. The Israel-Palestine conflict isn't about #Netanyahu; it's about the occupation, which is facilitated to a large degree by U.S. support for Israel in denying Palestinians their right to self-determination.
Complicity in genocide is not confined to the Israeli right. Members of the liberal organization that spearheaded the anti-Netanyahu protests last year are now blocking humanitarian aid to Gaza.
Media Bias/Fact Check rates Mondoweiss „as Left Biased and Questionable due to the blending of opinion with news, the promotion of pro-Palestinian and anti-zionist propaganda, occasional reliance on poor sources, and hate group designation by third-party pro-Israel advocates.“
@enidlucA@mondoweiss@palestine@israel That site has Algemeen Dagblad categorised as least biased, while it's a racist on the right Dutch political side newspaper. In the description they rate emotional tone about Mark Rutte and Lillian Marijnissen as equal, while the tone for Rutte was fawning. For Marijnissen, whose socialist party has a lot of racist and transphobic problems, it was one small action against an authoritarian Conservative politician. They also omit that all major Dutch newspapers, and "credible source" BBC, are big in mainstreaming anti-trans propaganda. For those reasons this media bias/factcheck is a very limited source to judge media on, IMO.
San Francisco State University cancelled Dr. Rabab Abdulhadi's Palestine course. It is now available online as part of the Popular University for Gaza.
“DAVID LAMMY’S BIG IDEA: NOTHING WILL CHANGE UNDER LABOUR: The man who wants to be foreign secretary is reassuring elite audiences that UK foreign policy will not seriously change under a Keir Starmer government - a strategy confirmed in Labour’s election manifesto.”
“Why are Lammy and Labour so supportive of Israel, despite the extent of its atrocities and British public opposition to the attacks on Gaza?
One reason is that Lammy is Washington’s man in Labour and cannot be seen to upset policy-makers in the US who consistently facilitate Israel’s onslaught on Palestinians.
Lammy has constantly signalled that Labour foreign policy under his leadership will deviate little from Washington’s priorities, and he has been a regular visitor to a string of elite, establishment fora in the US.
The other reason is that Lammy is, like 20 percent of his fellow Labour MPs, a recipient of funds from the Israel lobby. Since becoming an MP in 2000, he has accepted donations from the Israel lobby on numerous occasions, the value amounting to £32,550, Declassified has found.”
When the board of the Columbia Law Review clumsily censored a pro-Palestinian article it revealed the degree to which pro-Israel ideology is enmeshed in the U.S. power structure. Luckily, a generational shift is changing this before our eyes.
On Monday, the United Nations Famine Review Committee (FRC) published a report on the situation in the northern Gaza Strip, concluding that there is insufficient reliable information to declare a famine. While some Israeli media outlets, including #Haaretz, perceive the report as a net positive for #Israel, the conclusion actually highlights the challenges posed by Israel's restrictions.
The FRC's inability to endorse the Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWS NET) findings stems from the lack of access to Gaza, which prevents the collection of essential data required for its work. This underscores the limitations imposed by Israel's prevention of journalists and international organizations from entering Gaza and evaluating the circumstances on the ground.
Rather than being positive news for Israel, the report underscores the concerning lack of transparency and the inability of independent observers to accurately assess the humanitarian situation in Gaza. Ultimately, this lack of access and information is detrimental not only to the people of Gaza but also to Israel's stated commitment to facilitating humanitarian aid and relief efforts in the region.
[...] Firstly, all stakeholders who use the IPC for high-level decision-making must understand that whether a Famine classification is confirmed does not in any manner change the fact that extreme human suffering is without a doubt currently ongoing in the Gaza Strip and does not in any manner change the immediate humanitarian imperative to address this civilian suffering by enabling complete, safe, unhindered, and sustained humanitarian access into and throughout the Gaza Strip, including through ceasing hostilities. All actors should not wait until a Famine classification for the current period is made to act accordingly.
[...] Secondly, the FRC would like to highlight that the very fact that we are unable to endorse (or not) FEWS NET’s analysis is driven by the lack of essential up to date data on human well-being in Northern Gaza, and Gaza at large. Thus, the FRC strongly requests all parties to enable humanitarian access in general, and specifically to provide a window of opportunity to conduct field surveys in Northern Gaza to have more solid evidence of the food consumption, nutrition, and mortality situation.
The question we have to ask ourselves is not whether we condemn Hamas, but whether we condemn a settler colonial regime that makes armed struggle necessary for survival.
@mondoweiss@palestine@israel you can do both. Hamas is not a democratic or preferable solution for future Palestine and their actions has been helpful to Netanyahu and his gang.
@faab64 There's an article I can't find at the moment containing the (approximate) lines: “Where are the Palestinian Gandhis, they ask? They're in Israeli prison cells.”
The exact quote is:
»Where are the Palestinian Gandhis and MLKs? They are in Israeli jails.
When people try to protest non-violently, they are beaten, teargassed, and jailed. Despite what is told in the media, Palestinians have long engaged in non-violent resistance in their quest for liberation.«
@bifouba throughout history, Israel has been extremely violent against peaceful protesters and leaders who don't call for it's destruction.
They KNOW that the passive and indifference masses western population may change rapidly if they no longer see palestinians as bloodthirsty savages who's only interest is to start a new holocaust.
That's one of the main reasons Netanyahu ordered the assassinated architect of the one and only hostage exchange in Lebanon.
But Israel's arrogance and savagery have become it's worst enemy and with social media, the vast majority of people have seen the true face of the Israeli treatment of palestinians.
Young people who were not brainwashed for decades have seen the real Palestine. And that's why Israel has been using all it's power to prevent real and uncensored news from Gaza. Either by killing the reporters, censoring the internet or forbidding apps like TikTok, telegram and "signal"
“The Israeli army announced the killing of two officers from the 8th Brigade in battles in the northern Gaza Strip while the #AlQuds#Brigades announced an ambush in #Rafah.
The Israeli occupation forces stormed the courtyards of #AlAqsa Mosque as the Palestinians prepared to perform #Eid al-Adha prayers.
Retired Israeli General Yitzhaq Brik said that any decision by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to attack #Hezbollah would bring disaster to Israel.
According to Gaza’s Ministry of Health, 37,337 Palestinians have been killed, and 85,299 wounded in Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza starting on October 7.”
Parce que si vous mettez # "Boyccot" sur un post qui ne parle par de marques vous polluer les posts qui parlent spécifiquement des Boycotts.
🤚🏼 Là le sujet est la mort de militaires israëliens, les hastags parlant d' Apartheid ou de Jeux Olympiques et même de Désinformations ne sont pas approprié pour ce post.
Il encombre les posts qui parleront spécifiquement de ses sujets.
“ISRAEL’S NEW AIR WAR IN THE WEST BANK: NEARLY HALF OF THE DEAD ARE CHILDREN: Nearly 20 years after the Second #Intifada, the Israeli military has resumed airstrikes in the West Bank — and killed 24 children.”
It's just sickening to read the daily news from occupied territories and the silence and compliance of western and arab leaders in the ongoing atrocities.
“Israeli Politician Quotes Hitler to Argue for Resettlement of Gaza: ‘In what kind of society can one openly advocate policies modeled on Hitler's conduct? In a society that feels complete impunity due to America's protection,’ one foreign policy expert said.”
“Former Israeli Knesset member Moshe #Feiglin quoted Adolf Hitler as he called for Israel to resettle the Gaza Strip and create a ‘Hebrew Gaza."’”
[..]
"’We are not guests in our country, this is our country, all of it...’ Feiglin said, adding, ‘As #Hitler said, 'I cannot live if one Jew is left.' We can't live here if one 'Islamo-Nazi' remains in Gaza’."
