A French court has banned all Israeli arms companies, their affiliates and all Israeli delegations from participating in the #Eurosatory weapons trade show.

A group of 30 organisations that successfully brought a case arguing Israeli companies should be banned from participating in the #Eurosatory weapons trade show said there remained a “high risk that the exhibition would contribute to international crimes, and violations of international humanitarian law”.
Israeli forces have destroyed all the water wells in northern Gaza.
The lack of water is making the near-famine conditions across the Strip worse, and most children and adults there don’t have access to clean drinking water.
"If water is life, then it's denial is certain slow death."
Video shows children drinking water from puddles & collecting seawater.
The Biden administration is playing a shell game with the Gaza ceasefire that aims to trick the Democratic base into thinking meaningful action is taking place to end fighting while still allowing Israel to continue its genocidal campaign.
@Tbsa@jargoggles@MisterMoo@mondoweiss@palestine@israel same difference. lol,TBSA your #Genocide is going to become normalized and then the whole planet is fucked. Grow up.
Too many bullshit liberals like you in California, which is why Oregon get far more done with far less money.
"You're welcome to visit, but please don't stay".
I fully understand that now, after living in both states.
@housepanther@benfell@palestine@israel
I am very much in favor of everyone voting in every election they can (even though it seems like Democrats are doing a lot to keep people from wanting to). Voting is not sufficient by itself, but if voting made any difference, it would be illegal... and Republicans are trying very hard to make it illegal for many people to vote.
If having to make the trip yourself is a hurdle, then there may be people or organizations in your area who help people get rides to their polling place.
The Israeli army bombed Gazans in their tents in the "safe zone" where it told them to go. Eyewitnesses told Mondoweiss most of the dead were burned alive or decapitated and dismembered, many of them children.
@mondoweiss@palestine@israel If Netanyahu actually believed that things like this were "tragic mistakes", he wouldn't still be ordering them over and over and over.
@Miro_Collas@palestine
If there's a way for Zionists, Israelis, to demonstrate what a hateful people and nation they represent (not religion), they use it.
This must exist?
The Union of Jewish Students claims to serve the interests of the UK’s Jewish student community. It actually serves the interests of Israel by associating with its “quasi-governmental” Zionist institutions and whitewashing its coloniality.
@mondoweiss@palestine@israel 28 years ago my friend was expelled from college for expressing pro palestinian views. She's not pro palenstine, she was against the occupation.
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.
@nus@israel@palestine Hold your nose, America, hold your nose. But start organizing at the local level, and maybe separate a state or two. - Sincerely, your neighbour to the north, Canada
"More than 2,000 academics have signed a letter demanding the resignation of Germany’s Education Minister over her attempt to sanction scholars who supported pro-Palestinian students’ right to protest"
They said that “The withdrawal of funding ad personam on the basis of political statements made by researchers is contrary to the Basic Law...such political sanctions is a sign of constitutional ignorance and political abuse of power,”
On the problem with the current ceasefire proposal. Looks like there's a big devil in the detail...
"..if negotiations need longer to succeed, Phase One, including its temporary ceasefire, will be extended...But crucially, the plan also says that if Israel decides Hamas is not negotiating “in good faith,” it can resume its murderous rampage through Gaza. And if that happened, it would be doing so with the full public blessing of the US"
I can't stomach watching any of the following anymore:
Blinken
Biden
Linda Thomas-Greenfield and her deputy
Netanyahu
Anybody else I can handle, but the above are way beyond my bullshit tolerance level
Why there are no reporters in Europe like him any more?
They all have turned into cowards at best or genocide supporters at worst. The disgusting dirty and disgusting atmosphere created by Israeli supporters and right wing media owners not to forget the sold out politicians and indifferent public (on top of racism and islamophobia) have created a vaccume of strong, knowledgeable and brave reporters who are not afraid of telling the truth.
With Robert Fisk gone, The independent have also turned into a echo chamber of pro Israeli voices. German and Swedish media are not even worth reading any more and I get better news from Israeli media criticizing the fascist regime of Netanyahu than any of the so called progressives and liberals in those countries.
@faab64@palestine@israel Agreed. It’s rough when Haaretz is the most reliable not jumped-off-the-deep-end reporting of MSM on #idf etc. In US Amy Goodman and Juan Gonzalez with Democracy Now and the entire staff seem to have rather good contacts around the world, used to talk with RF, and these contacts have blogs or posts in diverse sites. It’s not as easy to get information as BE (before Elon)on dead bird site. I cancelled one online US news subscription 6.08.
@odaraia@faab64@palestine@israel We can also see how effective the torture, persecution and defamation of Julian Assange has been in getting obedience from the mass media. The MSM supported this.
The capitalist classes knows how weak they are. In this breakdown of the profit system they will show all their cunning and ruthlessness.
Workers, students and youth have to fund, support and build their own media in the struggle for power.
"The US military says it has spent about $1 billion in an unsustainable campaign to fight the Ansarallah-led Yemeni armed forces in the Red Sea, the Wall Street Journal reported on 15 June"
Emily Harding of the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington: “Their supply of weapons from Iran is cheap and highly sustainable, but ours is expensive, our supply chains are crunched, and our logistics tails are long"
The U.S. said it was constructing a floating pier off Gaza’s coast to deliver humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza. However, the real reason it exists is to protect American interests in the region.
@mondoweiss@palestine@israel well, yeah. Same reason they send aid to Palestinians. The longer they receive aid, the longer the time until their unconditional surrender can be prolonged, the more Israel will spend on arms from America. From the perspective of the general public, this is being done to help Palestinian people to survive, but from the perspective of American politicians, this is being done so they can send money to Israel who then spends it on American arms, in whose companies American politicians hold stock. If they really wanted to save Palestinians, they just wouldn't provide support to Israel. They want war to happen, and to profit, personally, from it in every possible avenue
They suck fighting in the battlefield and only can win against those with no heavy weapon, no airforce, no navy or air defense. Will their attack against Lebanon teach them a lesson they never forget?
Of course before it happens, uncle Sam. Step dad macron and sugar daddy Schultz will come to rescue in the name of fighting Iran. Hezbollah' have already kicked their ass twice in the past despite Israel destroying Lebanon in revenge, will this be any different?
But for now, all they can do is to post calls for genocide in yet another country in a sick and sarcastic way.
@marcosantos83 people talk about Israel as the problem is Netanyahu, forgetting that over 40% of Israel are like ISIS and would accept any atrocities against their opponents (not just Palestinians).
"Rather than seeking a long-term solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict, the United States is prioritizing its longstanding goal of normalizing relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia. With such a deal, which would require calm in Gaza to bring Saudi Arabia on board, the United States would further marginalize the Palestinians while more tightly integrating Israel into its regional network of alliances and partnerships"
