A message to university Vice-Chancellors from a child of holocaust survivors – Pearls and Irritations

Let me introduce myself. I am a child of Holocaust survivors. My mother survived Auschwitz and my father fought the Nazi war machine as a partisan during the Second World War. Ninety-eight percent of my extended family perished during the Holocaust.

Do not fall into this trap of meaninglessness and an unfulfilled life. You, the vice-chancellors of Australian Universities, have a chance right now to prove your life meaningful not only to yourselves, but also to the people of Australia by making sure that this war of annihilation against the Palestinian people ends and that the means for the continuation of this war end immediately.

Richard Marles concealed war crimes report, denying justice for David McBride – Michael West

Whistleblower

Et tu, Mark Dreyfus

If Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus’ refusal to drop the McBride prosecution wasn’t bad enough, his cabinet colleague Marles’ concealment of the Afghanistan oversight report is a new low for the Albanese government.

Not only does Marles’ repeated defiance of Senate orders based on non-existent “advice” constitute contempt of Parliament, his obfuscation to the Royal Commission shows a similarly contemptuous attitude towards the ultimate avenue of government transparency available under the Australian democratic model.

All this with the aim of perverting the outcome of a criminal trial that jailed the only person yet to be held accountable for Afghanistan war crimes – the whistleblower.

McBride’s lawyer, Mark Davis, announced an appeal against Mossop’s rulings “on the meaning of duty” moments after his client was marched out of court to jail. According to Davis, “This is an issue of national importance, indeed international importance, that a Western nation has such a narrow definition of duty.”

We can only speculate at this stage what role the Defence Minister’s handling of the Afghanistan war crimes oversight report might play in that appeal.

The AIPAC Donor Who Funnels Millions to a Controversial IDF Unit

gettyimages-492241401-e1716467016140-1

Is this an IDF battalion or AIPAC’s mercenary division

The battalion is also notorious for its alleged abuses of Palestinians and human rights violations in the West Bank, including an incident that led to the death of a 78-year-old Palestinian American man in 2022. These allegations landed the group, formally known as the Nahal Haredi, on a short list of IDF units that Secretary of State Antony Blinken intended to sanction last month. That move would have cut off the battalion’s supply of U.S. weapons and other military aid — until the Biden administration backed away from those plans under pressure from Israeli officials.

But the battalion has another reliable source of international support: a charitable nonprofit in the U.S.

A Misplaced Purity: Democracies and Crimes Against International Law – » The Australian Independent Media Network

Such arguments echo an old trope. The two administrations of George W. Bush spilled much ink in justifying the torture, enforced disappearance and renditions of terror suspects to third countries during its declared Global War on Terror. Lawyers in both the White House and Justice Department gave their professional blessing, adopting an expansive definition of executive power in defiance of international laws and protections. Such sacred documents as the Geneva Conventions could be defied when facing Islamist terrorism.

Lurking beneath such justifications is the snobbery of exceptionalism, the conceit of power. Civilised liberal democracies, when battling the forces of a named barbarism, are to be treated as special cases in the world of international humanitarian law. The ICC prosecutor begs to differ.

As international support for an independent Palestine grows, here’s what Israelis and Palestinians now Think of the Two-state Solution

Again Netanyahu goes against the majority of ISRAEL

The concept has long been supported by the US and its allies, as well as most Arab states and the United Nations. In 2017, Hamas amended its charter to accept the existence of Israel based on borders established after the six-day war in 1967. It reportedly indicated recently a willingness to disarm if a Palestinian state were established. But the present Israeli government led by the prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu remains implacably opposed to a two-state solution.

Opinion | The Atlantic’s Sloppy Reporting on UN Gaza Statistics Jeopardizes Its Credibility | Common Dreams

Palestinian men carry civilians—including children wrapped in white cloths—killed by Israeli attacks on Gaza.

But there is a far more important point than all the minutiae above: The whole exercise of asking whether these numbers are accurate is just distraction and obfuscation. According to the main monitor of major food insecurity in the world, the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification, an estimated 1 million Gazans—half the population—are now in catastrophic food insecurity and famine conditions. This means approximately 6,000 deaths per month from starvation, half of them in children under the age of five. And none of these people are included in these statistics. Alex de Waal warned in March: “Gaza is already the most intense starvation catastrophe of recent decades… Famine is unfolding in Gaza today. We should not have to wait until we count the graves of children to speak its name.”

Cease-fire now.

Israel Threatens ‘Severe Consequences’ for Nations Who Recognize Palestine | Common Dreams

Spain's Prime Minister Sanchez

Israel’s foreign minister issued a blunt threat of “severe consequences” for the countries of Norway, Ireland, and Spain—and presumably other nations that may follow—after the trio announced their decision Wednesday to formally recognize a Palestinian state.

“Prime Minister [Benjamin] Netanyahu is still turning a blind eye and bombing hospitals, schools, andhomes,” Sánchez declared. “He is still using hunger, cold and terror to punish more than a million innocent boys and girls—and things have gone so far that prosecutors at the International Criminal Court have this week sought his arrest for war crimes.”

To the Palestinians she defended in military courts, she was known simply as Tamar. Often dressed in black, she was instantly recognizable by her short-cropped white hair, glasses, and her ever-ready smile that would often give way to a chuckle. Tamar Pelleg-Sryck was a lawyer, a fierce human rights defender, a principled opponent of the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza, and a wonderful human being whose drive, intellect, and youthfulness never strayed, even in old age. On March 11, Tamar passed away at the age of 97.

The Dead End of Liberal American Zionism

In 2014, we wrote an article titled “The Blind Alley of J Street and Liberal American Zionism.”

At the time, Benjamin Netanyahu was in his sixth continuous year as Israel’s prime minister, while President Barack Obama was well into his second term.

And J Street, an emerging organization of Jews aligned with the Democratic administration, had momentum as “the political home for pro-Israel, pro-peace Americans.”

From the outset, ever since its founding in 2007, J Street has implicitly offered itself as a liberal alternative to the hardline American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), which was established more than four decades earlier.

An avowed purpose of J Street has been to seek a humane resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict while maintaining fervent allegiance to Israel as “the Jewish state.”

(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;

The Rages of Equivalence: The ICC Prosecutor, Israel and Hamas – » The Australian Independent Media Network

The legal world was abuzz. The diplomatic channels of various countries raged and fizzed. It had been rumoured that Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, along with his cabinet colleagues, had been bracing themselves for a stinging intervention from the International Criminal Court, a body they give no credence or respect to.

Unfortunately, many a just cause sprouts from crime, and the protagonists can always claim to be on the right side of history when the world takes notice of a plight. Only at the conclusion of the peace accords can stock be taken, the egregiousness of it all accounted for. Along the way, the law looks increasingly shabby, suffering in sulky silence. These applications for arrest warrants are merely a modest measure to, pardon the pun, arrest that tendency. It is now up to the pre-trial chamber of the ICC to take the next step.

The Future of Stalag Gaza

Throughout Gaza, the Israeli military’s destruction of homes and seizure of land is an ominous sign for the future of the Strip. Obaid’s wife, who was displaced to a camp in Deir Al-Balah, told him that “watchtowers and cameras were deployed all along the [coastal] road, and … quadcopters and reconnaissance planes are monitoring the area and preventing citizens from returning to the north.” As Israel expands and cements this military architecture, Obaid observed, “it’s as if Gaza is entirely under their control.”

To restore humanity, stop the genocide and make Israel accountable – Pearls and Irritations

Rafah, Gaza. 23rd Dec, 2023. A Palestinian girl looks out the hole of a window of a building damaged by an Israeli strike in Rafah in southern Gaza Strip, Sunday, December. 24, 2023. UNRWA says it

In essence, the genocide must be halted, Israel must be held accountable on a global scale, and it must bear the consequences of this crime. Subsequently, peace must be constructed by the collective international community, not solely by the U.S. or the West, allowing both Israel and Palestine to thrive together. A key step toward this is for Palestine to be admitted as a full member of the United Nations and one can only hope that the U.S. does not veto its current application.

Indeed, many Israelis and Jews around the world who oppose Zionism could be motivated to initiate reform once the charge of genocide is internationally and legally recognised. The journey towards reform and redemption will be protracted, but it will establish the foundation for lasting peace. Such metamorphoses have been observed in the past, in Japan and Germany. Their economies have since ascended to remarkable heights. However, these transformations were not immediate. They were preceded by international acknowledgment, condemnation and punishment for wartime atrocities. Only then were the steps towards restoration embarked upon.
