The thing about the "Israel wants Trump" argumemt is that I think what #Israel wants even more than #Trump is to not have a #US#POTUS be seen to lose reelection for supporting Israel.
And I don't say that as some kind of checkmate, just a consideration I haven't seen brought up before.
I'm so fed up with mods falling for the #aipac "holocaust inversion" bullshit, I'm going to start reporting all #Israel apologist posts as "supporting violent ideologies."
The board of the Faculty of Physical Activity and Sport Sciences of the Universitat de València has unanimously approved the exclusion of Israel from the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The faculty’s management believes that allowing the State of Israel to participate is a tacit acceptance of its crimes against humanity.
It is time to kick Israel out of the Olympic Games for as long as they deny Palestinians their basic human rights.
A nation comitting genocide should not be allowed to participate in Olympic games.
Remember the morons who said back in December that bypassing #congress to give arms to #Israel unconditionally would make it more compliant with #US demands?
There's a new #ceasefire proposal on the table, and yet Mastodon is awfully quiet about it. This is even more strange given how widely the last #hamas proposal was received.
In the proposal, #israel moves again quite a lot. Partial withdrawal of #IDF before any #hostages are released.
Given the nonexistent reception, my impression that quite a few folks here care less about lives in #gaza and more about hating on "the west" hardens.
Two more #US officials resign over #Biden administration’s #genocide in #Gaza, accusing the administration of lying about Israel’s obstruction of aid to Palestinians
You still have to be a Jewish Israeli to (barely) get away with stating these truths, but we are grateful to the allies among them like Moshe Zuckermann that they persevere.
Es ist die Sprache von “Okkupations-Barbarei", einer "kahanistisch-faschistischen, ungeschminkt rassistischen, fundamental-klerikalen und theokratisch-chauvinistischen" israelischen Regierung, ermordeten (!) Palästinensern, und einem Antisemitismus-Beauftragten, der sich “nicht entblödet” usw.
** Not to jump to conclusions, but the audio download for the interview does not currently seem to be working…
@LauraKT@palestine After some #USA Congressmen decided to threaten the International Criminal Court, #ApartheidIsrael decide to do the same. If the court does not stand firm and bring those criminals to account, it will lose all credibility.
"The U.S. backed off sanctioning an IDF battalion w documented human rights violations including actions that led to the death of an American. The leader of the battalion’s U.S. nonprofit arm (yes) has given almost $100k to AIPAC’s super PAC"
It's probably best not to trust any Israeli voices on the state of things in #Israel or #Gaza. Even this Israeli "scholar," who admits that Israelis are almost unanimously pro-genocide, is pushing the "sexual violence" lie about Oct. 7.
When apartheid South Africa came under growing international pressure at the UN, the General Assembly initiated boycotts.
It suspended South Africa, stripping it of its Member State rights & privileges. The apartheid regime could no longer be seated, speak or vote at the General Assembly & other UN organs.
"Apartheid South Africa changed course because it became a pariah & isolated regime"
What has #Biden done that's worse than what #Trump did? I'll start. He went out of his way to bypass #Congress to give arms and money to a country that was clearly committing war crimes.
