if you want to make a case that antisemitism plays an unusual role in the US discourse surrounding Israel, your best point of reference is Yemen and US support of Saudi Arabia’s conflict there, which conflict (whomever you blame for it) did lead to mass famine and death, but not to mass protest on US campuses.
@interfluidity@asayeed@BenRossTransit I don't think even Hamas is anti-Westphalian (let alone Fatah). What people were pointing out after the #HamasIsISIS campaign was that unlike ISIS, Hamas has always been a national movement with no claims beyond what it considers the boundaries of Palestine (inc. Israel); its interactions with Arab states, Iran, and Turkey are pretty realistic. The extreme element within Hamas is the wish for genocide of the Jews, but that's thoroughly Westphalian.
"Desperate Palestinians rushing toward aid trucks to fetch food in central Gaza were forced to flee after Israeli troops opened fire on them amid the rapidly deteriorating humanitarian situation in the enclave.
"Footage verified by Al Jazeera shows hundreds of Palestinians in Gaza City in the central part of the besieged enclave running to get food items delivered by the United Nations in boxes on the back of trucks as bullets are fired."
Israel began bombing Rafah about 4 hours ago and casualties of at least 63 - who knows how many by morning. I just saw ppl shroud a dead baby. @palestine@israel
@matunos@Sherifazuhur@israel@palestine No, it's more than this. The IDF's reports of the basic military matters - where the troops are operating, IDF casualties, etc. - have been reliable. Israel isn't Russia, it can't hide massive numbers of bodies of its own troops.
(Relatedly: hasbara was shit on and right after 7.10 - nobody knew what to do, and the state's best idea was to buy likes on Twitter; the #HamasIsISIS campaign was freelance. But in the war itself, it's functioning just fine.)
Open letter on the anti-Palestinian and Islamophobic environment at Emory University
Students at Emory University have been targeted by racist, anti-Palestinian, xenophobic, and Islamophobic harassment and attacks for their support for Palestinian human rights. Instead of helping, Emory has committed discriminatory acts of its own.
ICJ to Israel: Look, we’re not telling you to stop killing Palestinians, just improve your optics for goodness sake, you’re making all of us look bad.
Israel: Fuck your feelings; we’ll kill as many as we like, however we like. Look, we just shot another one carrying a white flag. Eat that, you woke Hamas cucks!
@aral Keep your sick fantasies for yourself! The ICJ is clear to both #hamas and Israel. No ceasefire (#hamasisisis won’t except this and , as long as #Hamasterrorist keep the hostages, neither Israël).
‘Operation Al-Aqsa Flood’ Day 112: In a historic moment, ICJ moves forward with genocide case against Israel
While the court stopped short of calling for a ceasefire, Israel is ordered to allow aid into Gaza, punish incitement to genocide, and take more protective measures for civilians – even as the situation on the ground remains cataclysmic.
To the person in a weak position, every change is a struggle, just to say in the game. Win the decade, not the day. #StandWithIsrael and remember that #HamasIsISIS
South Africa cites eight elements of Israel’s genocide in Gaza and with statements of INTENT by Israeli officials:
............
(1) Killing, including a large proportion of 70% women and children of > than 21,110 fatalities.
(2) Serious mental and bodily harm, maiming, psychological trauma, and inhuman treatment.
(3) Forced displacement of 85% of Gazans, massive destruction of homes, villages, towns, refugee camps, entire areas, which precludes return of Gazans to their homes.
(4) Causing widespread hunger, starvation, dehydration by impeding sufficient humanitarian assistance, cutting off food, water, fuel and electricity, and destroying bakeries, mills, agricultural lands.
(5) Failing to provide and restricting adequate clothing, shelter, hygiene, sanitation, including for 1.9 million displaced.
(6) Failing to ensure the provision of medical care by direct attacks on hospitals, ambulances and killing doctors, medics and nurses. @israel@palestine
@Sherifazuhur@palestine@israel Terrorists using schools, universities, courts, public buildings, public records, libraries, stores, churches, mosques, roads, utilities and other facilities as their battlefield are the only reason for the many victims #humanshield#hamasisisis
The war in Gaza has been a turning point for the world order as we know it, and its media ecosystem.
The extent of the brutality, a genocide unfolding in plain sight; the sheer volume of disinformation, designed to defend the indefensible; and the complicity of so many Western news outlets – repeatedly exposed for failing to question Israeli propaganda, then spreading it.
@RememberUsAlways@palestine@israel of course, I think they even said it on record. They got special religious permits to do things Islam forbids, based on some as hoc doctorine that Israelis aren't human.
The whole point of this op was to break the spirit of Israelis, break up the communities of the kibbutzim so they don't return to live there maybe. Also they expected and wanted a mountain of shahids' bodies. I bet the current numbers feel too low to them.
