"For #KarimKhan history begins on October 7, even though his investigation has, by his own account, been ongoing for a number of years and is supposed to take into account all crimes committed since 2014. He has yet to address any crimes between 2014 and 2023, notably the crime of #apartheid, the crime of #IllegalSettlements in #OccupiedTerritories..." - #MouinRabbani
#EastJerusalem / Under the cover of war, Israel promotes a neighborhood for Jews in East Jerusalem
Since the outbreak of war, Israel's Justice Ministry has been rapidly promoting plans for new Jewish settlements in East Jerusalem near Palestinian neighborhoods. The Ministry's "Custodian of Absentee Property" is working with right-wing real estate firms on projects for over 3,000 new housing units, claiming to develop property owned by #Jews before 1948.
Plans are advancing quickly through zoning committees during the war. Critics accuse Israel of exploiting the conflict to deepen control over East Jerusalem and prevent territorial continuity for Palestinians. Settlements like the new "Nofey Rachel" neighborhood plan threaten to further separate Palestinian areas. Justice Ministry officials defend their actions as lawful efforts to develop private Jewish-owned land.

#Law4Palestine Webinar | Gaza on the Brink: Israeli Genocidal Intent
Tues Oct 17 2023
"As #Israel continues its genocidal campaign on the Palestinian people, this webinar aims to bring together Palestinian scholars and other legal experts in the crime of #genocide to discuss the current situation in #Gaza while situating it in the wider settler colonial context in #Palestine."
“ALLEGED IRAN ROLE IN ISRAEL ATTACK ECHOES BOGUS IRAQ WMD CLAIMS: Israeli and U.S. officials acknowledge there is no proof that Iran directed last weekend’s deadly Hamas attack.”
“It’s possible that evidence of Iranian sponsorship exists and simply hasn’t emerged yet, but that reasoning echoes the Iraq WMD imbroglio. “If the Israeli government had any evidence at all of direct Iranian involvement in the Hamas attack, it is very likely that Israel would let the world know about that,” Paul Pillar, a former chief analyst at the CIA’s counterterrorism center, told The Intercept.
According to Pillar, Hamas had plenty of incentive to conduct the operation on its own, including acquiring hostages as bargaining chips to free Palestinian prisoners and also to torpedo the Saudi–Israel normalization deal being pursued by the Biden administration.”
You’re conveniently forgetting that, over the past 75+ years, Israel has been responsible for the murder of thousands of Palestinian children! THOUSANDS!!!!!
Children are murdered, imprisoned & tortured almost every day in the West Bank! They are dying by the hundred now in the Gaza genocide!
Are Palestinian children’s’ lives any less precious than Israeli children’s’ lives? You seem to think they are!
Similarly, when you refer to members of Hamas as “animals”, is that because you regard them as “Untermensch”? Fascists like like Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben-Gvir also refer to Palestinians as “animals”. Seems like you agree with them!
