There are so many bad actors who have a clear interest in civil unrest within the United States we can be sure there are state actors (besides Hamas) actively supporting violence and polarisation during the various protests at universities in the US.

Yes, it can't be that these peaceful students could have the autonomy and the moral values to protest a horrific genocide. It must be the Russians, Hamas etc.

The only significant violence that I've seen reported has been by pro-Israel counter protesters (UCLA last night) and the police.

/ "Open Arms" leaves Cyprus port to Gaza

The Spanish aid ship Open Arms was seen leaving Larnaca port in Cyprus, towing a barge containing wheat, rice, and protein, heading to Gaza.

https://www.openarms.es/es

[...] The vessel Open Arms, collaborating with World Central Kitchen—an organization founded by Chef José Andrés, has been stationed in Cyprus since last Friday, equipped with tons of food and water.

[...] Our mission is to establish a maritime humanitarian corridor to Gaza, introducing a new route that facilitates the ongoing delivery of essential supplies to the Strip. This highly complex operation is designed to alleviate the severe humanitarian crisis faced by the Palestinian civilian population, many of whom are still without access to food or water in various regions.

@jbburd @aral Right. But you stating that Israel is committing genocide doesn’t actually make it so. This is the problem.

@cferdinandi @thetechtutor @aral

Attempting to kill all isn't required to qualify as genocide.

"In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

c. Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; "

Imagine if Palestinians were doing this to Israel with the backing of Saudi Arabia. Displacing 90% of the population, destroying most of their homes, infrastructure and hospitals, mass killing, 80% of whom are women and children, blocking food, water and medicine, enforced starvation. Would anyone be debating whether it was genocide or not?

Israel—a terrorist state committing genocide in Palestine backed by the US, Canada, and the UK—has just destroyed the office building of the Belgian Agency for Development Cooperation in Gaza as retaliation a day after Belgium announced it would continue to fund the vital humanitarian work of UNRWA.

Belgium is a member of the EU and NATO.

The ICJ has said what I and most other Jews I know have been saying:

It's not a genocide, but it could become one if extreme care isn't taken.

There's nothing surprising or revelatory in that.

But I suspect that for those who were frothing at the mouth for "Israel" to be labeled genocide - you know, the ones who call all Jews "genociders"- this will either change nothing, or else they'll now simply turn on the court they previously praised.

sigh Get ready for a fresh wave of antisemitism on the Fediverse.

I was looking for info channels that will show me life and opinions in , I thought Bisan was a good person to follow, but I see more and more disinformation as well.

Are no Gazans blaming Hamas at this point? No one demanding they give in and return the hostages to end the war? I see orchestrated blames solely against Israel as if the local "leadership" has no responsibility for this horrible situation, and civilians have zero expectations?

They may think that Israel should make a deal and release the thousands of hostages being held without charge or trial. But I don't know, can't speak for them.

@ia42 @israel @palestine

Today’s @Haaretz headline story, by military correspondent Amos Harel, screams what we have long been suspecting: Netanyahu is avoiding a new hostage deal, because it may end the war.
“Netanyahu's political interest at this point in time is not to return all the abductees. His govt depends on extremist elements who are sabotaging a further big [hostage] deal, and threaten to overthrow his government. It's time for this insight to seep in.”

‘Operation Al-Aqsa Flood’ Day 103: Israeli army attacks vicinity of southern Gaza hospital, kills 7 in West Bank drone strikes

As Israel attacked the vicinity of the Nasser hospital in Khan Younis, causing panic among sheltering civilians, Israeli drone strikes killed 7 in the West Bank. Qatar brokers deal to allow medical aid to reach Israeli captives and Gaza hospitals.

So far, has there been any evidence of Hamas using hospitals as military bases?

@TruthSandwich @mondoweiss @palestine

The United States is not a reliable or credible source in this. They are an active participant in the genocide and lie and cover for Israel.

Israeli forces who took control of Al Shifa hospital produced no evidence that the hospital was being used as a base.

Xitter suspended, without explanation, Steven Monacelli, Ken Klippenstein, Rob Rousseau, the TrueAnon podcast and almost certainly others. And I’d still bet my last dollar that I’ll soon read an article that describes Musk as devoted to free speech.

That's true. By free speech absolutism he means for people with views like mine.

jbburd,

@freemo @JoshuaHolland

Using terms such as 'decolonization' and 'from the river to the sea' are not calls to violence even if the free speech overlord deems them to be.

jbburd,
@jbburd@mastodon.online avatar

@freemo @JoshuaHolland

That's incorrect.

"...what Palestinians are calling for when they use the phrase in question: a state in which Palestinians can live in their homeland as free and equal citizens, neither dominated by others nor dominating them. "

@freemo @JoshuaHolland

The occupied Palestinian territories are physically on the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. Calling for the freedom of Palestinians within their own home land doesn't call for eliminating anyone.

Meanwhile Israeli leaders have been calling for and carrying out genocide in Gaza. Has Musk banned any of them?

"I have been working in global public health for 20 years, and I have never heard health and aid organisations as forthright and concerned as they are about the level of suffering and deaths in Gaza. It is an unprecedented conflict, breaking the most tragic records, and while experts might debate whether it’s a genocide or not, the truth is we’re witnessing the mass killing of a population, whether by bomb, bullet, starvation or disease."
