Brexit is a coup by the far right for the far right. I'll never stop mouthing off about it.

You'll remember that Germany had banned Dr. Abu Sitta from entering the EU. "In recent weeks, Abu Sitta has been barred from entering France and the Netherlands in order to speak about the Israeli war crimes he witnessed during his 43 days working as a doctor under Israel’s savage and indiscriminate bombardment"

A court in Germany has overturned the ban, which constituted “a serious breach of freedom of movement and expression"

This is a robust article by Medea Benjamin and Nicola J.S.Davies. They explain in detail which weapons the US supplies to Israel and how/where Israel uses them. Also, where the weapons are made. The US is the biggest maker and provider of armaments. Huge amount of money at play.
That's why students asking for divestment from companies involved in the war is terrifying the government, the Israel lobby, the arms industry, the tech industry...

This is a brief but comprehensive history of the Nakba.
I personally learnt of it through Ilan Pappe's "The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine".
It's a painful read, but necessary, given that Western curriculums have happily erased it.

"Israeli officials hyped their country’s 5th place Eurovision finish as proof of quiet global grassroots support for their assault on Gaza. Now, they admit they manipulated the results through an international propaganda blitz"

"Ynet reported Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the government publicity office invested in a targeted campaign to get votes not based on the song itself, but by appealing to pro-Zionist and Islamophobic views"

On the panel:

So Israel is the exception and the documentary explain how and why.
It's really the United States of Israel that we are looking at ...

On the 76th anniversary of the Nakba, here's a story (and a documentary) of "generational displacement, genocide, and the inevitability of Return"

"We have been robbed of our land, deprived of our identity and history; even our future has been stolen. The Zionist response to these atrocities is that the Palestinians should not have existed in the first place. Zionism wants us to be forgotten forever."

A testimony from volunteer doctors who have worked in Gaza recently. They talk about the cases they've seen.

This is Prof Nick Maynard:
"I spent some time a while ago looking up the definition of genocide in a variety of dictionaries and what is going on in Gaza fulfils every single definition of genocide that I have read. So there's no doubt in my mind that's what's going on"

If your democratic process leaves you no option but to vote for genocide, your democratic process has already failed.

If Biden loses to Trump because of his stance on Gaza, I'd blame Biden, not the voters. There needs to be a third option or you'll never get out of the two party, Israel lobby supported system.

No, that's simplistic. If you listened to what I sent you, the two speakers are going through history to show you that the wrong democratic candidate can pave the way for a further swing to the right, which is what's happening now. Only mass movements can bring about real change and that happens whether you have a democratic or republican president. That's what matters. That's why widespread student protests terrifies both reps and dems, because they instigate changes

Palestinian journalists received the 2024 World Press Freedom Prize.
"Between 7 October, 2023, and 11 May, 2024, 143 Palestinian journalists in Gaza were killed by Israel...killing the storyteller as the quickest way of killing the story itself"
Gazan journalists know they are targeted, but continue in their mission.
Israel doesn't allow foreign press and it worked in the past. The article explain why that's no longer the case.

Caitlin Johnston on the US empire:
"No other power has spent the 21st century killing people by the millions and displacing them by the tens of millions. No other power is circling the planet with hundreds of military bases, starving people around the world with blockades and economic sanctions, staging proxy wars, color revolutions and coups all over the earth, and working to destabilize and destroy ..."

'Nothing wrong' as WHO rejects Israeli doubts on Gaza death toll figures

"Gaza's Health Ministry last week updated its breakdown of the total fatalities of around 35,000 since October 7, saying that about 25,000 of those have so far been fully identified, of whom more than half were women and children. This sparked allegations from Israel of inaccuracy" but the numbers are the same, just the identified number is lower. Plus thousands missing.

Israeli invasion of Rafah set ceasefire negotiations back: Qatari PM

The Qatari PM confirmed that "his country will continue to mediate between the Palestinian Resistance and "Israel" regarding a ceasefire, and will not halt negotiations despite all the challenges"
Hamas had agreed the latest proposal, before Netanyahu "rushed to overturn" it with the Rafah invasion and renewed attacks in Jabalia and North Gaza.

Palestinian Resistance factions engage IOF in Askalan, Jabalia, Rafah

My note: An embedded video shows the hits. It's not only the Qassam Brigade in action but also al-Quds and al-Aqsa Martyrs. They are operational all over Gaza. We'll never know the real number of IOF casualties, both men and vehicles. As long as there's occupation, there's resistance. Netanyahu and his military know that very well. No victory for them.
