When we are pretending Hamas is hiding inside a hospital, it’s a crime so grave the IDF has no choice but to throw doctors and patients into mass graves. Hamas’ non-presence in hospitals was so outrageous the IDF was forced to plant a bag of weapons behind an MRI machine to frame them, but it’s totally fine for the IDF to park their tanks on hospital grounds, so that’s exactly what they’ve been doing.
War on terror merges with genocidal goals: The original intent of Israel’s 2002 “Unlawful Combatants Law” was to permit the state to detain Lebanese citizens as bargaining chips in exchange for Israeli captives. Now it’s used to detain Palestinians from Gaza without trial. The figures below do not include the unlawful combatants held in Israeli military camps (as opposed to prisons)… Denied protection under Geneva prisoners as neither citizen or soldier.
(Biden’s philosophy of) a secure apartheid state through ethnic cleansing was blocked by Jordan, and Egypt, leaving genocide as the way to achieve apartheid (via massive bomb shipments). But the conflict has spread destabilizing the proxy’s borders with Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Yemen. With North Korea, China and Russia returning to the Middle East as partners with Iran, the US is the loser of Zionist genocide.
International Rescue Committee is warning the scale of the crisis in southern Gaza “defies imagination” as Israel intensifies its attack on Rafah while key border crossings remain shut down. "They slaughtered Jabaliya, they slaughtered al-Nuseirat, and they slaughtered Rafah"- Afaf al-Halqawi
Paraphrasing HillaryDems upset at recent polls- voters dissatisfied with #GenocideJoe losing in 5/7 swing states don't understand the importance of ethnic cleansing in Gaza creating an existential threat to our segregation values.
By restoring fish passage and nurturing the ecosystem within the Washougal River watershed, we're honoring our ancestors, while improving the health of a river system that our Tribe, our community, and our region depends on. The Cowlitz Indian Tribe is grateful for Columbia Land Trust standing alongside us in this shared vision, rooted in respect for our land, our shared resources, and our traditions- Patty Kinswa-Gaiser, Cowlitz Indian Tribe General Council Chairwoman
Big fan of Common Dreams, but at this stage to take Neier’s conversion seriously, is a joke. The Gaza genocide has been fortold from the start in the Zionists own words, which South Africa quoted extensively in its proceeding before the ICJ.
I have no doubt that today’s student protesters will be successful. Already, more than 70 public and private universities that make up the Spanish University Confederation have announced they will cut research ties with Israeli universities. Trinity College in Dublin agreed to divest, London’s Goldsmiths College conceded to protesters’ demands, and Evergreen State College and the Columbia-affiliated Union Theological Seminary have announced that they will start or work towards selling all their shares in companies financially invested in Israel’s war and occupation.
Ámalek monsters in their own words: first we toy with you. We humiliate you. We terrorize you. We revel in your fear. We are amused by your pathetic attempts to survive. You are not human. You are creatures. Untermensch. We feed our libido dominandi – our lust for domination. Look at our posts on social media. They have gone viral. One shows soldiers grinning in a Palestinian home with the owners tied up and blindfolded in the background. We loot. Rugs. Cosmetics. Motorbikes. Jewelry. Watches. Cash. Gold. Antiquities. We laugh at your misery. We cheer your death. We celebrate our religion, our nation, our identity, our superiority, by negating and erasing yours.
Nearly four decades later Palestine continues to recognize the right of Israel to exist, yet suffers continued harm and destruction. The peaceful Great March of Return was met with a violent response. The BDS movement has been criminalized in more than 37 states in America. The US Government has cut UNRWA funding despite zero evidence of Palestinian wrongdoing.
They did not want to be contaminated by the same career-killing contagion. Ruling institutions -- the state, the press, the church, the courts, universities -- mouth the language of morality, but they serve the structures of power, no matter how venal, which provide them with money, status and authority.
Biden to the right off the butcher of Allepo: violent crackdown on anti-genocide, pro-Palestine student demonstrations in US, UK, EU universities only serves to highlight Western panic that their moral fig leaf has fallen for good.
Clearly, Israel enjoys a symbiotic relationship with the U.S. Military Industrial Complex, ensuring handsome profits all round. (Asked once on what basis Israel decided which U.S. warplanes to buy, former Israel Air Force commander Motti Hod replied blithely “bribes, darling, bribes.”) This relationship is underpinned by the power of the Israeli lobby, spearheaded by AIPAC
Western enlightenment: settler colonial displacement of indigenous to create refugees and poverty for expanded resource theft in surrounding countries.
The five basic pillars of social control that I see operating on overdrive in relation to the Gaza war and the control of the narrative around it fall into the categories of mass media, social media, left capture, political persecution, and violent repression- David Rovics
The photographer, who works with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), was trying to flee Gaza City on December 5 to get his family to safety when his daughter’s life was ended.
