The concepts of self-sacrifice, asceticism, and security awareness were crucial to Yahya Sinwar's philosophy of resistance. The revolt that culminated on October 7 was the direct application of his political thought.
« #Starmer s’est aliéné les voix de milliers, voire de millions de musulmans britanniques, et d’autres personnes horrifiées par le #GénocideÀGaza, par son soutien à #Israël et son refus d’appeler à un #CessezLeFeu, alors que des milliers d’enfants, de femmes et d’hommes #palestiniens sont massacrés. »
The Israeli massacre in Gaza's Nuseirat camp killed over 270 Palestinians and injured many more. Survivors say the horrors they witnessed will stay with them for the rest of their lives.
Palestinian Christians suffer from a crisis of representation, as some church leaders and community members disassociate from the Palestinian struggle and perpetuate the perception that they are a "minority."
"... there are reasonable grounds to believe that Israel is committing the international ‘crime of all crimes’: that of genocide."
"... while our government has called for a ceasefire, they refuse to name Israel’s crimes or take the material action many have called for under international law, including implementing sanctions and throwing our weight behind a global arms embargo. As Palestinian human rights lawyer Rabea Eghbariah asked in a 2023 essay commissioned but then censured by Harvard Law Review, “does one have to wait for a genocide to be successfully completed to name it?” "
@TruthSandwich is a well-known troll. Anybody reading this would be wise to block that domain.
At the end of that article is this line about the author:
"Sarah Schwartz is a lawyer, lecturer and executive officer of the Jewish Council of Australia."
Jewish communities increasingly recognise that the Zionist state endangers them. The world in general, and Jews in particular, will be safer when Israel no longer exists.
A reading of their founding documents reveals little difference between Hamas and Likud. I support neither.
"#Greens & the Coalition joined forces to REJECT a ... government amendment to the motion’s wording that embraced a "TWO-STATE solution" and, if accepted, would have allowed ALL #Labor senators to vote for the motion."

Like most of the world, Fatima Payman probably realises that there is no viable "two-state solution". Never has been.
Israeli Zionists want to be the Master Race of the region. That's the problem.
As Miko Peled observed, Israel and Palestine are the same place. He believes that Jews and Arabs can live together peacefully. That may be true, but by all appearances, it's true of probably less than 20% of the population. The remaining 80% would need to be homed elsewhere.
Palestine is sacred to more than Judaism and Islam. Ideally, I'd like to see it established as World Heritage. Protected by the world at large and thus needing no armed forces. I can dream, can't I?
What of the other 80%? Netanyahu advocates a state in Sinai for Palestinians, so let's make that two states. I think of them as sanatoria. Unarmed and heavily guarded, to protect them from each other and the world from them.
No. Seriously. The British fucking government argues the #ICC cannot prosecute #Israel-i leaders because "#Palestinians do not have jurisdiction to prosecute Israeli nationals..."
The unfolding genocide in Gaza is the latest chapter in Israel’s attempt to remove Palestinians from their land. All those calling for a ceasefire should join in the longer-term efforts to dismantle Israeli apartheid.
Well worth watching this very good counter narrative, on #Gaza and #Palestine by Muhammad Shehada, to the disinformation being peddled by #Israel and the west.
