Yedioth Ahronoth Hebrew newspaper: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is considering closing the #Israeli#embassy in #Ireland due to its blatant anti-Israel stance, which came to light yesterday (Wednesday) when it announced, along with #Spain and #Norway, recognition of the #Palestinian state.
The Spanish, Irish & Norwegian govts announced Wed that they would recognize a #Palestinian state, saying there would be no #peace in the #MiddleEast w/o it.
Israel denounced the move as giving aid to its enemy #Hamas.
The coordinated announcements are purely symbolic — but not w/o some power.
[...Martin Luther] King demonstrated that 👉you can’t advance democracy at home when you suppress it abroad. That vision rings as true today for Gaza as it did for Vietnam in 1967.👈
...both critics and right-wing allies indicate that 👉the support was intended to help maintain divisions between the #PalestinianAuthority and #Hamas👈, weakening #Palestinian leadership and 👉bolstering the claim that #Israel had no viable negotiating partner for a two-state settlement.👈 The policy was premised on the flawed assumption that 👉#Hamas had neither the capacity nor the intent to launch a...
Deputy Prime Minister & Minister of Energy Transition & #Water Transformation Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof stated #Malaysia is ready to repair/rebuild the #CleanWater supply system in the #Gaza#Palestine, post-conflict.
He conveyed this to #Palestinian Water Minister Mazen Ghunaim, who is also the head of the #PalestinianWaterAuthority, during a bilateral meeting on the sidelines of the high-level leadership meeting at the 10th #WorldWaterForum that concluded today,
A poster was shared on social media to promote the protest. A description of the event said protesters were "delivering a message to #McGill administration that we refuse to stand by quietly while they remain complicit in #genocide."

It has been pretty clear for years that the #US has happily gone along with #Israel's refusal to allow the existence of a #Palestinian state. I doubt the US wants to be seen as openly supporting this, however,
The only 24-hour library on Vancouver Island, the #VIU university library is steps away from the pro-Palestinian #protest encampment that was set up at the VIU quad early Tuesday morning.
The statement did not give a reason for the increased #restrictions.
The group diligently observes the collective dissent voiced by numerous Meta employees, encompassing #Facebook, #Instagram, WhatsApp, #Messenger, and #Threads, regarding the Meta #company's complicity in the #genocidal war against the #Gaza Strip, its endorsement of the Israeli occupation, and its fueling of the "Lavender" #artificialintelligence system used by the Israeli military to kill #Palestinian individuals within the Gaza enclave.
#KSA has long called for an independent Palestinian state to be created along #Israel’s 1967 borders, with East #Jerusalem as its capital. However, that likely may be untenable for Israeli PM #Netanyahu, whose government hinges on support from hard-liners.
Nine European citizens, the vast majority of whom are female, were arrested alongside Greek students for taking part in the brief and symbolic occupation of the National University of Athens Law School, in solidarity with the plight of the Palestinian people. Ahead of summoning important witnesses and interpreters, the court postponed its hearing and ordered that all of the accused be set free. However, Greek Police proceeded to detain the Europeans: a male Spanish citizen is held in the Directorate for Aliens and eight women are held at the closed detention centre of Amygdaleza. All of them are jailed in inhumane conditions ahead of deportation, treated as a threat to public order by decision of the Chief of Police, obviously under instructions by PM Mitsotakis, according to written reports. #repression#arrested#deportation#eu#HumanRights#europe#palestinian#Solidarity https://diem25.org/statement-by-yanis-varoufakis-on-athens-law-school-detainees/
The #Republican-led UnitedStates House of
Representatives passed a bill on Thurs that would force President Joe #Biden to send weapons to Israel, seeking to rebuke the Democrat for delaying bomb shipments as he urges Israel to do more to protect #civilians during its war w/ #Hamas.
The #Israel Security Assistance Support Act was approved 224 to 187, largely along party lines. 16 #Democrats joined most Republicans in voting yes, & 3 #Republicans joined most Democrats in opposing the measure.
The act is not expected to become #law, but its passage underscored the deep #US#election-year divide over Israel policy as PM Benjamin #Netanyahu's government seeks to wipe out militants who attacked Israel on #Oct7….
“#Nakba and #Shoah, the Hebrew word for the Holocaust, both mean ‘catastrophe’ in English, and because both are rooted in the 1940s, they are often equated or conflated.”
“The first thing we encounter in most digs in #Israel is a #Palestinian village,” said Raphael Greenberg, of Tel Aviv University, to Israeli press in September 2023.
