A Palestinian photographer was attacked by a fascist mob. He was then arrested by the occupation police. None of the attackers were arrested or investigated.

Mrs von der Leyen, will you now apologise for projecting Israel's flag on the EU buildings? Will you now project the Palestinian flag? Or will you repeat your shameful cheering on of IDF tanks before their genocidal assault on Gaza? Just asking. www.theguardian.com/world/articl...

I almost feel sorry for Germany's political class. If Netanyahu is indicted by the ICC, they will have to arrest an Israeli PM if he steps of German soil. Will they then ban themselves from Germany on the grounds of antisemitism? [Yes, I confess to enjoying the delicious irony.]

First, German police arrest Iris Hefetz, our Israeli-Jewish comrade, for opposing genocide in Berlin. Now, Ilan Pappe ( @pappe54), the renowned Israeli-Jewish historian, is detained in Detroit by the FBI for questioning over his campaigning against Israel's genocide. Dark times!

A must listen. David Adler talks to Phillip Adams about the connections between politicians, think-tanks and private IT companies propping up reactionary forces around the world with coups, assassinations, detentions and disinformation.

The bodies are piling up high in Palestine, Ukraine, Sudan. And the US fans the flames of war with billions of dollars while doing its utmost to prevent any peace talks, any de-escalation, anywhere. Only students & the young show signs of intelligence www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...

And yet not a word from Europe's main Green Parties. Nothing. Like obedient boys and girls they are quiet about it all. A most disgraceful silence. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

How about stopping deliveries of bombs to Israel Ms Harris? How about imposing sanctions on Netanyahu & Co. until they do what you asked? Of course not. You are elevating hypocrisy to a new level by arming the hand that you then accuse of killing. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...

Official Germany's practice of labelling criticism of Israel as 'antisemitic' is absurdly totalitarian. If it is not stopped by progressive Germans, it will not be long before the Federal Republic descends into a rabbit hole leading to a state indistinguishable from fascism. x.com/yanisvaroufa...

Netanyahu just announced his plan forcibly to transfer - and possibly deport - 1.3 million #Palestinians from Rafah. The West's continued silence during this never-ending atrocity will be remembered by future generations as a singular moral failure. x.com/yanisvaroufa...

Zionism conceptualised Palestine as a Land Without a People - a Palestinian Free Zone. All that happened since 7th October was the intensification of the genocidal project, which began in 1948, of turning Palestine into an actual Palestinian Free Zone.

Israel denies ethnic cleansing while proclaiming it not just in Gaza but in the West Bank too. It denies war crimes while advertising them (via soldiers' videos) to the world. Absurdity has never been more thoroughly mixed with Atrocity in the Atrocious History of Colonialism.

Haaretz: Israeli Army directly involved in publicising its brutal treatment of Palestinians. No other army in the world publicises its atrocities. The aim is to terrorise Palestinians certain of the West"s complicity, unafraid of US&EU public opinion www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

The objective is now made abundantly clear in this NYT article: Abolish UNRWA. Render Palestinian refugees citizens of other countries. Then, hand over their land to Israel's settlers. In short, defunding UNRWA is part of Israel's ethnic cleansing plan. www.nytimes.com/2024/01/30/o...

Want to talk about terrorism? Fine. Here is the latest incident/example: Israeli undercover soldiers/agents entered Jenin Hospital this morning and shot dead 3 injured Palestinians in their hospital beds while being treated. Rule-of-Law Western style!

The West believes in democracy, but not when governments it doesn't like are elected. It respects sovereignty unless it decides to invade Iraq. It supports Taiwan's self-determination, not Kashmir's. It supports human rights, but not in oil-rich Saudi Arabia. Otherwise, the West has… principles.

What rubbish! Israel has a clear plan for Gaza. Ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. The same plan that it is implementing ruthlessly, methodically and with the full support of the US and the EU in East Jerusalem and the West Bank. www.nytimes.com/2024/01/22/w...
