#Gaza « Sur la chaîne du génocide, il n’y a pas de petits maillons »
"Le 1er avril dernier, une manifestation était organisée à Marseille devant l’usine du fabricant de maillons pour munitions militaires Eurolinks. Les militant·es dénonçaient la vente de ce matériel à destination d’Israël et la complicité militaire de la France dans la guerre en cours."
"L’usine de maillons est un point stratégique sur lequel les militant·es souhaitent faire pression. « Il suffit que les livraisons s’arrêtent trois jours pour qu’Israël soit à sec ! » s’exclame Robert, militant propalestinien."
500 Palestinian Bedouins became homeless overnight in Wadi al Khalil in the Negev desert as Israeli forces demolished their homes.
At least 50 homes owned by members of a Bedouin community in the Negev desert were torn down because they were branded as "illegal" by National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir.
Bulldozers razed buildings Wadi al-Khalil, triggering anger and frustration among residents of the village of some 500 people.
" ... [T]he Home Office told Ashkar that it had been denied on the grounds that granting it would 'harm the public interest', without giving any further reasons or explanation."
Biden’s weapons pause will have no impact on Israel’s Rafah operations
Elijah Magnier, a military and political analyst, says Biden’s move to restrict some weapons to Israel will not change PM Netanyahu’s strategy in Rafah. “On the contrary, it will give him enough time to spend more time in Rafah and go very slowly to make sure that this war is going to last as long as possible.” (via Aljazeera)
Just as anyone with half a brain cell knew in the first place.
Welche Folgen die Schließung des Grenzübergangs Rafah hat
Bisher gab es noch ein Nadelöhr im Gazastreifen, durch das die Menschen fliehen konnten: Das war der Grenzübergang Rafah. Aber auch dieser wird nun von Israel kontrolliert. Die Menschen sind eingekesselt. Von J.-C. Kitzler.
Alle ogen gericht op een relatief heel klein conflict in Gaza, terwijl Rusland op diverse plekken op punt van doorbreken staat in Oekraïne. Terwijl de gevolgen van Russisch succes in Oekraïne voor Nederland veel erger zijn dan welke afloop in Gaza ook. #gaza#oekraine

Interview with Pulitzer Winner Nathan Thrall on Israel’s System of Domination
Thrall discusses Biden's weapons "pause"; the ceasefire talks; anti-Netanyahu protests; Israel's crackdown in the West Bank; & the conflation of legitimate criticism with antisemitism.
Thrall says debates over the future of a Palestinian state are an enormous distraction from Israel’s system of domination that has lasted for over half a century & isn't going anywhere.
“These are populations that are already on the brink of famine who are now being subjected to a medieval siege coupled with scorched earth and heavy bombardment. Already desperate conditions will get worse and we will see multitudes of casualties. Not just from the bombing. But the hunger, the disease and the starvation.”

@palestine This vid (post I am replying to) shows that the genocidal intent is not limited to the Israeli gvt. There is something deeply wrong with the (majority of) the populace. 75 years of brainwashing certainly has a role. But it cannot be ignored nor discounted.
So..It’s time for a change…
Raise your voice to the air
It’s time for a change
Revolution is here
This is our song,
our rights now expressed
There’s power in our voice
There’s strength in our words
When the whole world is silent,
Our voice must be heard.
This is our song #Revolution is set
