US Says Elections in Iran 'Not Free and Fair', Won't Change Regime's Direction (ok, as we witness the US actively supporting #Genocide in #Gaza, how does it matter if they oppose Iran’s elections? @iran@israel
“Activists from #PalestineAction occupied ‘#GRiD Defence Systems’, military computer and processor supplier for Israel’s war machine,
After breaking into the company premises on Holtspur Lane, High Wycombe, activists barricaded themselves inside, destroyed military hardware and unfurled banners calling out the little-known military electronics firm”
[..]
“Cops militarised and disproportionate response was once again the state protecting corporate colonialist interests”
Several Israeli media sources (& Hurriyet) report that the #UAE & #Egypt will participate in ‘day after’ Arab security force in Gaza.
Egyptian & Emirati media silent on this, probably because the people are strongly opposed to this scheme; governments would condition participation on Palestinian statehood - which Bibi blocks. @israel@egypt@uae
#Hamas said NO FOREIGN TROOPS, quite clearly a couple of weeks ago @Sherifazuhur. They SPECIFICALLY MENTIONED Arab nations as unwelcome. They don't want so-called 'peacekeepers' from arab #NATO SATRAPS . This is WAR. They intend to win, scorched earth or not
I suggest, without joking, a coalition of the formerly colonized... consisting of the nations in that category pursuing the ICC #genocide case, to supply MILITARY MUTUAL AID to Hamas in the form of #IDF killing troops. @israel@egypt@uae
“HOW MAINSTREAM MEDIA IGNORES UK MILITARY SUPPORT FOR ISRAEL: Britain does much more than simply sell weapons to Israel, but you wouldn’t know it from watching the BBC.”
“But there’s another side to the problem of the media: the stories that are not covered and the uncomfortable truths (for Israel and its supporters) that are not acknowledged.
This is particularly the case when it comes to the issue of how the UK military has contributed to Israel’s assault on Gaza.”
[..]
“The failure of the mainstream media to address the genocide in Gaza is all too clear when looking at the euphemistic language they use and the sources they highlight.
But we also have to look beneath the surface: to the stories that the media choose not to pursue because that would draw attention to the complicity of all those at the heart of the British establishment who have helped to facilitate the war crimes currently taking place in Gaza.”
It is unconscionable for Israel to participate in the 2024 Paris Olympics. Israel should be suspended from international sports organizations and events until it ends its grave violations of international law.
@mondoweiss@palestine@israel
As a French and living in Paris at that, I can tell you Israeli athletes are NOT bienvenus here and a lot of noise, fuss and boohs are gonna welcome them in each and every competition they're gonna be involved in.
It ij positively outrageous a country comitting #warCrimes and #Genocide , a country where #Apartheid and #segregation are Palestinian everyday life should be welcomed in Olympics.
Historically, all Greek tribes had do put a hold on their wars if they wanted to participate to OG.
Russia has been banned from all international events for a war that made 5 times less civilian victims in 2 years than Israel in 8 months.
(Don't get me wrong, Russian agression of Ukraine is NOT ok).
A systematic genocide? Army violence against Native Americans was greater when land values increased due to gold mining or RR building & in recessionary election years, according to economist Warren Anderson in the Asia-Pacific Economic History Review. https://doi.org/10.1111/aehr.12283
An indicator, if any is needed, of the toxic influence that the #ZionistLobby is able to exert over not just governments but grassroots and civil society organisations internationally!
Money talks and these organisations justifiably fear that, if they show any support for Palestinians, their funding will be cut off! It’s incredibly pernicious and, when (hopefully) the future equivalent of the Nuremberg trials are held, imo the influence of the Lobby in enabling the genocide must be investigated and its leaders brought to trial!
430 high school students have been killed in Gaza.
12,500 students have been wounded.
350 teachers have been killed.
286 out of 307 school buildings are damaged.
Thank you @KaBKaBKa for conceding that Israeli Zionism is genocidal racism. The answer to your question is quite clear in my answer. You're evidently too deeply programmed to see it.
Israel doesn't have a "right" to exist. To paraphrase article 12 of the Jerusalem Declaration:
all should live together in peace in the area between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea
as equals http://jerusalemdeclaration.org/
Forensic investigation reveals Hind Rajab's car was hit with 355 bullets and finds it "not plausible" that the Israeli tank couldn't see children inside the car @israel@palestine
@Sherifazuhur@israel@palestine
I remember, over a decade ago, I read about IDF soldiers, in a watchtower over one of the apartheid ghettos where they keep Palestinians as prisoners in their own country, got bored and were shooting Palestinian kids at a school. They were not punished. Of course they saw this little kid. They like killing kids. It's sport for them. #Genocide#Gaza#FreePalestine
“BRITAIN GREENLIT DOZENS OF ARMS DEALS WITH ISRAEL AMID GAZA WAR: Trade secretary Kemi Badenoch kept arming Israel throughout its brutal onslaught on Gaza, new data reveals.”
“[UK Trade Secretary] Kemi #Badenoch has not stopped any arms deals with Israel since October 7, instead allowing British companies to export components for military aircraft.”
[..]
“The UK government’s decision to greenlight more than 100 such export deals with Israel over the last eight months could open up British ministers to international arrest applications over complicity in war crimes.
Emily Apple from Campaign Against Arms Trade (#CAAT) told Declassified: ‘These figures show that it’s business as usual for arms dealers to break international law and continue arming Israel’s genocide.
‘The #Conservative government and the UK arms trade are complicit in the horrendous war crimes that Israel is committing against Palestinian people in Gaza.’”
“Divestment at the University of Edinburgh: Breaking from Balfour’s colonial legacy: As a university steeped in the legacy of Balfour, we have an urgent duty to end complicity in Israel's settler colonial project. Divestment from companies complicit in occupation, apartheid, and genocide is the first step toward historical redress.”
by University of Edinburgh Students and Staff Divestment Movement in Mondoweiss @mondoweiss
“This Monday 17th June 2024, the University of Edinburgh Court rules on a historical decision on whether or not to begin an active and immediate process of divestment from ‘controversial weapons’ complicit in Palestinian dispossession and Israeli settler colonialism, which the University has been entangled with for well over a century. The ruling of the court could mean immediate divestment from companies like Amazon and Alphabet as their ‘AI solutions’ might be plausibly in use in the mass targeting of civilians in Gaza. This would set a grand precedent and would serve as a concrete step to reducing our institutional complicity in violence against Palestinians.”
Gallant is upset because, apparently, 11 IDF soldiers dead trumps thousands of civilians starving to death. Hopefully the ICJ dossier updates regularly with evidence of intentional #genocide.
"As part of our ongoing efforts to increase the volumes of humanitarian aid entering Gaza and following additional related discussions with the UN and international organizations, starting yesterday (Saturday), a local, tactical pause of military activity for humanitarian purposes will take place from 08:00 until 19:00 every day until further notice along the road that leads from the Kerem Shalom Crossing to the Salah al-Din Road and then northwards... This is an additional step in the humanitarian aid efforts that have been conducted by the @IDF and COGAT since the beginning of the war... We will continue to support humanitarian efforts on the ground."
[...] Defense Minister Yoav Gallant did not approve the ceasefire, and was not even aware of its existence. It was reported on Galei Tzahal (Army Radio) that Gallant was angry about the timing of when the #IDF announced the ceasefire, because at the end of last weekend it was cleared for publication that 11 fighters were killed in the #Gaza Strip.

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.
