"... there are reasonable grounds to believe that Israel is committing the international ‘crime of all crimes’: that of genocide."
"... while our government has called for a ceasefire, they refuse to name Israel’s crimes or take the material action many have called for under international law, including implementing sanctions and throwing our weight behind a global arms embargo. As Palestinian human rights lawyer Rabea Eghbariah asked in a 2023 essay commissioned but then censured by Harvard Law Review, “does one have to wait for a genocide to be successfully completed to name it?” "
We need a more comprehensive solution @LukefromDC
The world in general, and Jews in particular, will be safer when the Zionist state no longer exists.
As Miko Peled observed, Israel and Palestine are the same place. He believes that Jews and Arabs can live together peacefully. That may be true, but by all appearances, it's true of probably less than 20% of the population. The remaining 80% would need to be homed elsewhere.
Palestine is sacred to more than Judaism and Islam. Ideally, I'd like to see it established as World Heritage. Protected by the world at large and thus needing no armed forces. I can dream, can't I?
What of the other 80%? Netanyahu advocates a state in Sinai for Palestinians, so let's make that two states. I think of them as sanatoria. Unarmed and heavily guarded, to protect them from each other and the world from them.
American war journalist Arwa Damon, reporting from Gaza, provides a glimpse into neighborhoods devastated by Israeli airstrikes, underscoring the dire living conditions faced by Palestinians who are now homeless.

> The IDF said he was also a “source of knowledge” within the Islamic Jihad, in the fields of electronics and chemistry.
@DropBear@palestine@israel Strange how they sound EXACTLY like the Republicans who project their own evil deeds onto their enemies.
Justifying their murderous actions in the name of their religion, utterly disgusting.
@israelwarcrimes@palestine@israel
He sounds a bit off to me. Imagine when he goes back to Pittsburgh or wherever. I hope they're targeted like pedos in the neighborhood. Crazy world
“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.”
“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.”
Not to forget using aid truck as the mean of military operations which is clearly made as a crime in Geneva convention.
Question is, will it have any impact on the favorable relationship between US, UK and EU with Israel? Or it's going to be one another crimes comitted by Israel that goes unpunished.
@DropBear@Uneek@palestine@israel Yes! What I don’t like about this ordeal is the fact that too many politicians have wasted precious time talking & holding meetings. We need to see action being displayed. If other countries or nations don’t want to stand up for what is right then what exactly are they willing to stand up for? My Goodness Gaza is only so big & I am sick & tired of read articles or news reports of innocent people dying who had nothing to do with the conflict .
@kolev@palestine@israel
And similar like “Gay” and “Queer”, the term was co-opted by the victims of this discrimination.
Ironically, it was then co-opted by the Zionist schisms of Christianity and Judaism to quash criticism of their discriminatory behaviours towards other semitic cultures.
@pinkdrunkenelephants@GM7077@israel@palestine@figstick The American people so have a choice btw: 2 genocides or 4. It would be silly to blame them for the 2 they have no choice not to vote for. It would be completely alright to blame them for the other 2, if the election decides they should occur. And it would be downright evil to suggest that voting for 4 by default is better than voting for 2 by active action.
