Israel vows to press on in Gaza after UN Security Council approves ceasefire proposal
🔶️ Israel has vowed to persist with its military operation in Gaza, saying it won’t engage in “meaningless” negotiations with #Hamas, shortly after the United Nations Security Council overwhelmingly approved a US-backed #ceasefire plan intended to bring an end to the eight-month war.
🔶️ Israel’s representative to the UN, Reut Shapir Ben-Naftaly, emphasized at a #UNSC meeting Monday that her country wants to “ensure that Gaza doesn’t pose a threat to Israel in the future.”
🔶️ Her comments came after 14 of the 15 UNSC council members voted in favor of Monday’s US-drafted resolution, with only #Russia abstaining – the first time the council has endorsed such a plan to end the war. Israel is not a member of the UNSC, and so did not vote.
Kick this rogue nation out of #UN. They do not belong to the world nations. They are a nation of arrogant #savages.
The thing about the "Israel wants Trump" argumemt is that I think what #Israel wants even more than #Trump is to not have a #US#POTUS be seen to lose reelection for supporting Israel.
And I don't say that as some kind of checkmate, just a consideration I haven't seen brought up before.
They know that the words of US and Israel is not even worth a dog fart so they want to sign an agreement with international backers in order to have some kind of guarantees. Not that any of those countries will lift a finger to help the Palestinians when (not if, but when) Israel breaks the agreement.
I'm so fed up with mods falling for the #aipac "holocaust inversion" bullshit, I'm going to start reporting all #Israel apologist posts as "supporting violent ideologies."
I've only read a few Palestinian prisoners stories and I have to stop each time. I'm usually one who can sit and read for hours. It's devastating but necessary reading - we MUST get these stories to as many eyes as possible.
Right wing Israeli media now accuse #Biden of being 'antisemitic' for giving the the speech on a Saturday, the Shabbat (rest day) for Jews, because #Netanyahu and his allies cannot respond to the speech for the next 24 hours
Hey, Americans, just shot up and send another $10B check to Israel plus 100s of cargo planes full of weapons.
Large-scale demonstrations are taking place in Tel Aviv, where more than 100,000 Israelis are protesting against the government and calling for the return of the hostages.
But #Netanyahu and his Jewish KKK ministers refuse to accept it ceasefire.
Half-dead Nazi zombie & his so called "ceasefire" proposal is:
Why dont you release all hostages & for the period of the so called "ceasefire proposal" period we will not murder you & release a small portion of your hostages in our "legal detention" i.e entity's torture chambers.
As soon as you released all our hostages we will murder you into oblivion. Why don't you agree for "ceasefire".
Even if one hates one's enemy with all of one's heart, if the enemy is honest about their intentions, atleast that being honest about how depraved they are is respect worthy quality, tho we hate their being.
But shitlib fucks no such quality. Overall, they are there to do same or even more harm (as they last longer with their deranged lies & soothe indoctrinated populace with thier sweet tongue & vile heart politics) than fascists, while lying about almost everything. Thier whole existence is a lie.
Taken as a whole they are the real & potent enemy that people need to fight. Fascists will anyway be fought as they generate revulsion in any half decent person, but shitlibs are the real enemy as they are more nefarious in their tactics than fascists. They aid & abet fascists while feigning ignorance about or claim to be on the opposite side of fascists, when in reality they are buddies.
It's probably best not to trust any Israeli voices on the state of things in #Israel or #Gaza. Even this Israeli "scholar," who admits that Israelis are almost unanimously pro-genocide, is pushing the "sexual violence" lie about Oct. 7.
A US Department of the Interior staffer has become the first Jewish political appointee to publicly resign in protest of #US support for Israel’s #genocide.
Lily Greenberg Call, a special assistant to the chief of staff, accuses #JoeBiden of using Jews to justify US policy.
With a greenlight from Biden to continue the its invasion into #Rafah, despite evidence of war crimes https://kolektiva.social/@oatmeal/112421478297802310, #IDF is now calling residents of eastern #Rafah to evacuate to the “humanitarian zone” in the coastal al-Mawasi region in southern #Gaza. Similarly IDF called residents of Jabaliya and Beit Lahiya, two neighborhoods in northern Gaza, to evacuate to western Gaza City.
[cont’d] reminder: the #ICJ will convene at 3 PM for an urgent discussion scheduled to last two hours at the request of South Africa to issue new orders relating to the war in Gaza and its cessation, as well as the entry of humanitarian aid into the Strip, following the IDF activities in #Rafah.
South Africa will present its arguments, and tomorrow the Israeli delegation will do so between 10 AM and 12:00 PM.
Israeli media is estimating that there is a possibility that the Court will respond to South Africa's request and issue a #ceasefire order. However, the prevailing view is that Israel will not obey such an order.
[…] The hearings on May 16 and 17 will only focus on issuing emergency measures, to keep the dispute from escalating. It will likely take years before the court can rule on the merits of the case.
This podcast is good at making #history easier to digest, if you're interested--
Up this week is Zionism, Zionist #propaganda, Balfour, the guy chosen to mess up Palestine, who had previously wreaked havoc in Ireland and denied entry to Jews fleeing the holocaust who were hoping to find refuge in the UK. And Herzl &more stuff.
