“They asked me whether I framed, the Israeli actions in Gaza as a genocide. I laconically said yes. And then, they asked me about what do I think about the slogan ‘Palestine should be free, from the river to the sea,’ and I answered that I think anybody who lives between the river and the sea, anywhere in the world, should be free.” Pappé told Mehdi and Owen.
Paraphrasing HillaryDems upset at recent polls- voters dissatisfied with #GenocideJoe losing in 5/7 swing states don't understand the importance of ethnic cleansing in Gaza creating an existential threat to our segregation values.
recognize that Hamas is not an ancient organization, but having been established only in 1987, it is a reaction to more than 20 years of illegal occupation and land grab. It also means recognizing that Hamas funding came with the approval and support of Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu as a way to delegitimize Palestinian statehood.
#GenocideTaxBuysApartheidFromTheRiverToTheSea: There is no state of Israel that is separate or separable from the violence, abuse, apartheid and racist indoctrination necessary for its continued existence. Liberals like to pretend they live in this imaginary fantasyland where a nice and peaceful Israel is possible, despite Israel’s entire historical existence making an obvious lie of this premise.
These people have been invoking Amalek and talking about killing every man, woman, child, and animal, and you think they haven’t noticed this would have “devastating consequences”? That they needed you to tap them on the shoulder and make them aware? Benjamin Netanyahu is saying not even the International Court of Justice can stop him and Penny Wong is toothlessly saying “Israel must listen to its friends”. Why the hell does this country still have friends? It’s destroying an entire country!
Let’s start with Dr. Seema Jilani’s description of her harrowing first three hours working with the International Rescue Committee at Al Aqsa Hospital in central Gaza: “In my first three hours working at al-Aqsa hospital, I treated a one-year-old boy with a bloody diaper, and his right arm and right leg had been blown off. There was no leg below the diaper. He was bleeding into his chest. I treated him on the ground because there were no stretchers and no beds available, and when the orthopedic surgeon came to wrap his stumps up to stop the bleeding, I would’ve imagined in the US this would’ve been a straightforward case that went immediately to the OR because of the severity, but instead, the impossible choices inflicted on the doctors of Gaza have made it such that he wasn’t ‘the emergency of the day,’ there was a waiting list and the OR was already full with other more pressing cases
Likud member of the Knesset Danny Danon openly bragged about how Israel completely ignored Biden’s timid requests, explaining that none of them were backed up by the slightest bit of pressure.
They didn’t agree to a ground invasion–we invaded.
They didn’t agree to [bombing] Al-Shifa hospital–we ignored their request.
They wanted a pause without hostages–we didn’t accept that.
We have no American ultimatum. There is no deadline from the US. #GenocideTaxBuysApartheidFromTheRiverToTheSea#GenocideJoeKnows#Gaza
QatarEnergy, Qatar’s state-owned oil company, is halting its ships’ passage through the Red Sea, joining several of the world’s largest shipping companies, including Maersk and BP, who announced they would pause transiting the Red Sea a month ago due to Houthi attacks.
Yet more blowback from the US/UK airstrikes on the Houthis: Insurers are seeking to exclude US and UK-registered ships from coverage in the Red Sea.
#GenocideTaxBuysApartheidFromTheRiverToTheSea: Israel’s clear intention to depopulate Gaza
While grieving the dead, Gazans are also mourning the loss of familiar landscapes as major landmarks in #Gaza City turn to rubble. Israel seems intent on eradicating not just Gaza’s future, but its past. Churches, universities, cultural sites and the city’s main archive, which housed more than 100 years of historical records, have been destroyed in airstrikes… In 1948, the Greater Gaza district included 45 villages, mostly agricultural communities. All of these villages were ethnically cleansed by Zionist militias seizing the land. The Palestinians from these villages ended up as refugees in what became the Gaza Strip, a tiny territory that makes up 1.3% of historic Palestine. #GenocideJoeKnows#USAShitShow
