Israeli minister taking ‘legal measures’ against French arms fair ban

Netanyahu accused Macron of a “distressing distortion of history”, saying his country’s founding was achieved by the 1948 Arab-Israeli war, not a UN ruling.

Macron told his ministers that Netanyahu “must not forget that his country was created by a decision of the UN”, referring to the resolution adopted in November 1947 by the United Nations general assembly on the plan to partition Palestine into a Jewish state and an Arab state.

What Netanyahu conveniently ignores is what preceded what he calls the “Arab War” for more than two decades before there was the TERROR of the ZIONIST WAR . Which came first the chicken or the egg is very clear in this case. Their Project was to establish the Palestinian territory and British Mandate as the “Jewish Homeland”

The Jews conducted a war against both the British and Arabs who had initially accepted Jews as asylum seekers and immigrants. Only 2% of the Jews however purchased any land in Palestine and stole the rest. Before 1929 there was no real tension between Palestinians and Jews other than that “manufactured” by the Zionists to fulfil their political ambition. There was no excuse like the Holocaust in Europe.

Gaza happened because we forgot Korea

History didn’t start on 7 October. True that. To get a deeper sense of why the shocking destruction in Gaza is happening, we have to revive the forgotten war that the US waged against North Korea in the 1950s. In many ways, it was the template for all that followed.

Biden, Harris, and the Brutal Truth of Dead Hostages in Gaza

However the hostages died—Hamas initially indicated they were killed by Israeli gunfire, the Israeli army says they were executed at close range just before an attempt was made to free them—the blame for their deaths has settled firmly on Benjamin Netanyahu and the ultra-right-wing clique that props up his government.

Israel’s Eilat Port has been Bankrupted by the Houthis supporting Palestinians of Gaza

The Israeli port of Eilat officially declared its bankruptcy, after eight months of complete paralysis of commercial activity and its cessation of receiving ships and containers, especially coming from the Asian countries’ markets, carrying with them the needs of the economy and its industrial sector. This includes raw materials, intermediate goods, production inputs, machinery and equipment, crude oil and fuel, wheat, food, cars and other market needs.

Zionist attempts to silence criticism running in top gear after ICJ ruling

The attempt by Zionist lobbyists to silence criticism of Israel is running in top gear to try to counter the swell of public opinion against Israel flowing from the exposure in real time of the barbarity of its actions in Gaza.

The attempted suppression is widespread in the United States where pressure has been put on Congress and many universities to adopt and implement the definition, and the lobby has been equally diligent in its efforts in England and Europe.

Settled

In 1979, Israeli settlers and soldiers were already terrorizing residents of the Palestinian village of Halhoul and committing violence elsewhere, writes Ellen Cantarow. 

Israel has now become a largely fascist country with a deeply fascist government and it has been transformed into that, at least in significant part, because my country has profusely underwritten the most malignant developments there, which are still ongoing.

Just as I was finishing this article, in fact, the Associated Press reported that “Israel has approved the largest seizure of land in the occupied West Bank in over three decades.” That land grab, its account added, “reflects the settler community’s strong influence in the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the most religious and nationalist in the country’s history.” Thus have the prophecies of the religious-nationalist Gush Emunim been fulfilled.

Why the West Bank is on the verge of economic collapse

The Israeli genocide in Gaza continues unabated with no vision for how the war would wind down, generating a political crisis in Israel that provides Smotrich with the cover he needs to eat up the rest of the West Bank. The U.S. gives Smotrich what he wants in exchange for a fleeting restoration of the economic status quo ante, and the World Bank can rush in to further bolster the financial sector in the West Bank. But all this amounts to little more than a morphine shot, allowing the PA a temporary respite before a potential collapse.

Five journalists killed as Israel steps up bombardment across Gaza

Death toll tops 38,000

At least five journalists were killed in attacks by Israeli forces in the last 24 hours in Gaza as bombings and air strikes across the besieged enclave intensified.

On Saturday, Gaza’s Government Media Office said separate Israeli strikes killed three journalists in the Nuseirat refugee camp in the centre of the territory and two in Gaza City, raising to at least 158 the number of media workers killed since the current war erupted on October 7.

The world has abandoned us. What can we do?


Any talk of improving our conditions of oppression – and even this is seen as too much for us – in light of the great sacrifices that have been made, is a betrayal of Gaza’s martyrs. We need to start discussing radical solutions to move beyond the status quo, and adopt a clear slogan: End the occupation, end apartheid, and end settler-colonialism. If this happens, all the lives lost in Gaza would not have been lost in vain.

The genocide in Gaza must foster even greater solidarity across all oppressed people

Shining the Light on Gaza – CounterPunch.org

What has happened in Gaza since October 7 has exposed the brutal realities of occupation under which the Palestinian people have long suffered. Even before October 7, a record number of murders of Palestinians had already taken place on the West Bank in 2023, while settlers backed by the far right Israeli government were on a rampage of land theft. The Al Aqsa Mosque, third most sacred site in Islam, was being regularly invaded by settlers, aiming to demolish it to build a new temple. The world was ignoring all this. Now it cannot.

If there is any way out of this darkness, it is to shine the light.

Why has the Australian Parliament failed to debate the tragedy of Gaza? – Pearls and Irritations

Parliament House 2 Landscape panorama

Australian parliamentarians are responsible for the wellbeing of Australia’s multicultural society but in the last eight months the majority have failed to understand the reaction of those citizens who have experienced colonisation, occupation and war. These Australians are more likely to identify with oppressed people, so they expect their parliamentarians to articulate commitment to international humanitarian law. And of course, as we know many Australians are opposed to militarism as a means to resolve conflict. It is important to recognise those few political representatives who have tried to initiate difficult debate about how Australia should respond when a hitherto trusted ally ignores international law to engage in ethnic cleansing? Australians want to see their representatives and senators engage in informed consideration of complex issues that require sensitivity and courage. Time is running out for many parliamentarians to fulfil their obligations and Australians are watching and waiting for greater responsibility .

Gaza is a Children’s Cemetery – CounterPunch.org

Recently, after an UNrwa (United Nations Relief and Works Agency) school at Nuseirat was bombed by Israeli forces leaving 33 dead, including 12 women and children, Sam Rose, the director of planning for the agency declared, “In previous conflicts, single incidents like this would cause shock and outrage and would be remembered forever. Whereas it seems in this conflict it will be this one will be replaced by another in a few days’ time unless it all comes to an end. So, it almost becomes commonplace and mundane that these things are happening. We have normalized horror.” Despite the horrors facing the children of Gaza, it is not too late for the warring factions to protect those children who remain.

UN: Israel-caused Famine to encompass all Gaza by July, killing as many as 19,800 a Month

Given a population of 2.2 million, one in 10,000 would equal 220 persons. If more than 2 per 10,000 died daily, that would imply at least three. That figure would yield a death toll of 660 per day dying of starvation. That death toll would equal 19,800 per month.
