Palestine has ignited our planetary consciousness once again, and it is the student movement that refuses to let genocide become our new normal. They know that the fight for Palestine is a fight for us all.
Before I sleep, I have this image of your body under the rubble. It flashes into my mind and makes my heart sink. Then I pick up my phone and go to our photos.
The ICJ demands Israel cease its Rafah invasion, but compliance is "probably less than zero," former UN Special Rapporteur Michael Lynk tells Mondoweiss.
“The onslaught on the Palestinians in Gaza is of a nature that can only be intended to result in the genocidal destruction of that group,” South Africa’s application stated. “In attacking Rafah, Israel is attacking the ‘last refuge’ in Gaza, and the only remaining area of the Strip which has not yet been substantially destroyed by Israel. With Rafah’s destruction, the destruction of Gaza itself will be complete.”
The gravity of the settler colonial genocide in Gaza has forced us to reckon with our role as a solidarity movement. We must support the struggle of the Palestinian people to abolish Zionism, no matter the means they choose to do it.
Yumna Patel talks to Hassa Ben Imran from Law for Palestine, and Dave Reed speaks with Spencer Ackerman about the “bombshell” ICC indictments of Israeli leaders Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant.
A group of Palm Beach residents are suing the Florida county over its $700 million investment in Israeli bonds. "The people here are the grittiest, most powerful organizers I've had the privilege of seeing," a local activist told Mondoweiss.
The current American threats to sanction the ICC could spell the death of International Law. Whatever little hope people had for a just international system will disappear.
@msquebanh Maybe think about how you interpret a post? Maybe defeating the big early threat is a better idea than junking everything? And maybe, since you are not in the US, you don't how things work? I am assuming that we are all in agreement that the genocide should stop. You undderstand that TFG said Bibi should wipe out Gaza? So let's try to accomplish the common goal of smash the fash.
@Flowermob I know how things work. Many of us outside US know better than most Americans - which is pitiful upon itself. You already have fascism happening there. It's up to you Americans to put more pressure on Biden administration, if you don't want Trump in. So do more of that instead of feeding into US exceptionalism because the rest of the world is sick of that attitude/arrogance.
Airstrikes continue across the Gaza Strip as the Israeli ground invasion continues in Jabalia and Rafah, displacing thousands. Meanwhile, the Israeli army launched a wide-ranging invasion of Jenin refugee camp, killing 12 people.
The Israeli army withdrew from Jenin refugee camp after a three-day incursion that left leaving 12 Palestinians dead. But the armed resistance in the camp remains defiant, vowing to repel all invaders.
Canada’s largest private high school recently organized a genocide solidarity trip in which students cooked for Israeli soldiers. In a sane world, the school’s charitable status would be revoked.
It is rather ironic that Canadian high school students would travel to Israel, and cook a meal for IDF soldiers, just as the IDF is restricting the food supply for Palestinian children, to the point where children are dying. Teaching students to ignore oppression, and reward the oppressors, is quite the achievement. Of course, this is the miniscule version of what our American President is doing. He just rewarded IDF war criminals with 16 billion. #Palestine
@DaPickle@zeev2@Mary625@mondoweiss@palestine@israel Don't feed the Nazi trolls. Check their instance rules and who are the admins. If the instance is good with a bad apple, report it. If the instance is bad, defederate it and post in the FediBlock hashtag.
Remember, shaming a normal sane person might cause them to change their behavior. Shaming a bot or an insane troll's sockpuppet just brings more attention to them. On Fediverse the banhammer can be powerful - we can't stop them having their own sites, but they don't want to have their own sites, they want to antagonize us.
Indiana University's "Liberation Commencement" was a celebration of the students' brave commitment to fighting powerful institutions and their involvement in challenging Zionism and the Palestinian genocide.
A new bill in Congress would extend some U.S. military benefits to the estimated 20,000 Americans currently carrying out the Gaza genocide as members of the Israeli military.
@pedrobizbikedu They're US citizens who AREN'T (at least active) US military. Zionist settlers, their friends, and plain old Mercs... albeit mercs sometimes have better bennies than the Pentagon offers. @mondoweiss@palestine@israel
UN special rapporteur on torture Alice Edwards is asking Arab states to shoulder the responsibility for the refugees that Israel created. Israel must let them in as the state that is responsible for their displacement and the denial of their rights.
Biden threatened Israel with pulling military aid if it invades Rafah, but Israel is attacking anyway. It won't face consequences so long as Biden remains vague on what amounts to sufficient grounds for suspending military aid.
Biden has nothing to do with Netanyahu's resolve to destroy Gaza, take the land, stay in power
He keeps saying he will do this despite any allies' opposition -- believe him
