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.
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"
I can't claim credit for that article @indyradio
It was written by an American. She went to the West Bank, which is hardly Palestine any more. I guess the Zionists presume that all Americans unquestioningly support them. @palestine@israel
@DropBear@palestine@israel oops. It's "Cara Marianna", who mis preparing to publish a series of reports as the result of visting"under the radar" as an ordinary citizen rather than a journalist.
@mondoweiss@palestine@israel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1988_Hamas_charter
>... The charter defines the struggle to be against the Jews ... The charter has been criticized for its use of antisemitic language, which some commentators have characterized as incitement to genocide. Hamas's 2017 charter removed the antisemitic language and clarified Hamas's struggle was with Zionists, not Jews.
Huh.
Could be a change of character or it could be lying. I should look into it more.
Actually, you packed more lies in that post that I could address.
For example, the idea of Israel as "European colonists" is a lie, and a rather antisemitic one at that.
Reminder: About half of the Jews in Israel trace their recent ancestry to the Middle East. Many were already in Israel, others were expunged from Arab states after Israel was formed. You know, ethnic cleansing.
"In what kind of society can one openly advocate policies modeled on Hitler's conduct? In a society that feels complete impunity due to #Americas protection," one foreign policy expert said.
Apple has silenced employees who have spoken out for Palestine and shown bias toward Israel through statements and actions. In the process it has lost all credibility as a company that claims to believe in racial equity or social justice.
@mondoweiss@palestine@israel Toxic #FastFashion brand H&M ask their customer service employee not to voice any opinions but to paste a template whenever customers ask about the company's position on Israel or Palestine. If one wants to change their web-store's country, Israel is listed with other European nations; not with the Middle East !
Years ago H&M closed all their stores in The Russian Federation but all their stores stay open in Israel. Sadly I cannot pay in € when shopping on H&M's Israel web-store.
une petit biais sur le slogan'de ma rivière à la mer"
parce que les pacifistes, et ils sont massifs , ne veulent rien d'autre qu'un état laïque.
C'est à dire séparé l’État des religions ... ce que beaucoup d'israéliens et de pro-israéliens à l'étranger refusent en ne voulant pas voir l'aspect séparatiste d'un état privilégiant un seul culte.
Et hélas même un état sensé être laïc comme la France est dirigé par des anti-laïcs (comme Macron et les droites en général)
@mondoweiss@palestine@israel
People who vote Democrats want, above all, for their to be humanity in politics. GenocideJoe eliminates that option. For Democrats to remain relevant, they need a new leader. #Thing1or2 is not an option or Democracy.
The Biden administration is playing a shell game with the Gaza ceasefire that aims to trick the Democratic base into thinking meaningful action is taking place to end fighting while still allowing Israel to continue its genocidal campaign.
@Tbsa@jargoggles@MisterMoo@mondoweiss@palestine@israel same difference. lol,TBSA your #Genocide is going to become normalized and then the whole planet is fucked. Grow up.
Too many bullshit liberals like you in California, which is why Oregon get far more done with far less money.
"You're welcome to visit, but please don't stay".
I fully understand that now, after living in both states.
@housepanther@benfell@palestine@israel
I am very much in favor of everyone voting in every election they can (even though it seems like Democrats are doing a lot to keep people from wanting to). Voting is not sufficient by itself, but if voting made any difference, it would be illegal... and Republicans are trying very hard to make it illegal for many people to vote.
If having to make the trip yourself is a hurdle, then there may be people or organizations in your area who help people get rides to their polling place.
The Union of Jewish Students claims to serve the interests of the UK’s Jewish student community. It actually serves the interests of Israel by associating with its “quasi-governmental” Zionist institutions and whitewashing its coloniality.
@mondoweiss@palestine@israel 28 years ago my friend was expelled from college for expressing pro palestinian views. She's not pro palenstine, she was against the occupation.
