"A prominent #rabbi from #Brussels who once criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for calling on #European#Jews to move to #Israel now asks the #Jewish state to prepare for a wave of immigrants from the continent due to #antisemitism.
“My message to the #Israeli prime minister today is not as sure as it used to be,” says Menachem Margolin, head of the European Jewish Association lobby group in Brussels, at a conference in #Amsterdam on combating antisemitism.
“Today I say to Israel: We are not there yet, but be ready, get your government agencies ready,” Margolin says."
The the morning of May 11, the #Israeli army spokesperson announced that the #military had begun a new operation in #Jabalia, the city and adjacent refugee camp in northern #Gaza. Evacuation orders were issued to #Palestinian residents of several neighborhoods, but many have been unable to leave; others have decided to stay, given the lack of any safe areas throughout the Strip.
The latest Israeli attack on the camp, involving both aircraft and ground troops, has had devastating consequences: the #army has bombed and bulldozed entire residential squares, markets, and food warehouses, exacerbating the already desperate humanitarian crisis, while corpses remain scattered in the streets.
Sabri Abu Al-Nasr, 43 years old, is a resident of the camp who took refuge in the #UNRWA-affiliated Al-Fakhoura #School, in an attempt to escape the Israeli bombing. “The conditions in the camp are terrible, and no one is spared from the artillery and air bombardment,” he told +972. “Israeli snipers are on high buildings — they shoot at every moving object.
On Oct. 29, Abu Al-Nasr lost his wife Nisreen (40) and his children Nisma (16), Hamza (14), and Mohammad (13) when Israel bombed a residential square adjacent to the family’s home. Their bodies remain trapped under the rubble, preventing Abu al-Nasr from being able to properly bury his loved ones. Seven months later, amid a new Israeli assault, he says “the smell of death and blood wafts throughout the camp.”
Ilan Ramon was the first #Israeli#astronaut, and also lost his life aboard Space Shuttle Columbia.
Miraculously, the diary he kept, containing his personal feelings as well as descriptions of the historic event he was a part of, somehow landed relatively intact in Texas after the disaster. It has been preserved and now is at the National #Library of #Israel where it is on extended loan.
Here's one of the statements Wing Luke staff walked out over. 👀
"Explanatory panels highlight a rising tide of #antisemitism and hate crimes in #Seattle. The exhibit says that graffiti sprayed in November on the Herzl-Ner Tamid #Synagogue on Mercer Island that said “stop killing” was antisemitism “disguised as "antiZionism ... as if the #Jews of Mercer Island could control the actions of the #Israeli government.”
"If the #Israeli assault stopped today, and we decided to hold a funeral every single day for each #Palestinian killed in the last eight months, it would take us 100 years to honor them all."
The Palestinian speaker at the #UN Security Council highlights the devastating toll of casualties among #Palestinians resulting from the Israeli #genocide in #Gaza.
#NikkiHaley, former US Ambassador to the #UN, signs #Israeli bombs intended for use in #Gaza and #Lebanon with the words "FINISH THEM," signaling support for their use in targeting civilians.
JUST IMAGINE SHE WAS NOT AN #AMERICAN AND THESE WERE NOT ISRAELI BOMBS!
