🇮🇱 Israeli Minister Ben Gvir: 'Palestinian prisoners must be shot in the head.'
💬 “The law on the execution of prisoners will pass its third reading in the Knesset. Until then, we will give them little to live on and nothing else.”
Palestinian resistance in Gaza used one of the unexploded 500 pound bombs dropped by an American provided F-16 to blow up a building they have lured in a group of Israeli soldiers.
So far Israel has admitted to 4 dead and 5 injured, but the Palestinians claim the numbers are much higher.
Multiple #helicopters seen landing in the area to carry the injured and the deads back to #TelAviv.
This is the 4th such #ambush by #Palestinians in the past 2 weeks, followed by massive indiscriminated bombing of civilian targets by #IDF.
So this is how #Netanyahu keeps starving #Palestinians. The aid arrives but woe betide any aid agency that tries to distribute it, less the #IDF will attack you.
Bernie Sanders has joined those blaming the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (Aipac) for congressman Jamaal Bowman’s primary loss in New York last night.
Bowman, whose criticism of Israel’s war on Gaza made him a target for pro-Israel lobbying groups, was defeated by George Latimer, a pro-Israel centrist, after Aipac and an affliliated group spent almost $15m to defeat him.
Sanders, in a statement today, said it was an “outrage and an insult to democracy that we maintain a corrupt campaign finance system which allows billionaire-funded super PACs to buy elections.” He added:
AIPAC and other super PACs spent over $23 million to defeat Bowman. He spent $3 million. That is a spending gap which is virtually impossible to overcome.
It is not a coincidence that with our corrupt campaign finance system we also have a rigged economy that allows the very rich to get much richer while many working people are falling further behind. Big Money buys politicians who will do their bidding, and the results are clear.
@fonecokid#BernieSanders is DIVERTING ATTENTION from his former #AIPAC dicksucking. He doesn't want anyone to know he supported this #genocide until now. This DID NOT START on October 7. Bernie left the civil rights movement after one bust (I was busted more for anti-vietnam war actions by the time I was 16) to stay at a model kibbutz where you never saw dead #palestinians. My mother was offered a trip like that, and she had #ETHICS. She DECLINED.
"'We talk about the media being complicit in Israel's violence… but they also, it would appear, actively obscured the reality of what's happening, [Dr. James Smith] says, pointing to coverage of Israel’s massacre of more than 270 Palestinians in Nuseirat that occurred just after he left Gaza. …
'I truly don’t think that any of the major media outlets have captured the barbarity of this violence.'”
"For more than 56 years, what was termed the ‘peace process’ – a process that led nowhere – was actually a series of American-Israeli initiatives to which the #Palestinians were asked to react. Today, ‘peace’ must be replaced with #decolonization, and Palestinians must be able to articulate their vision for the region, with #Israeli|s asked to react." - #IlanPappé
"From air strikes to field executions, #FaultLines investigates the killings of civilians by the #Israel|i military in #Gaza and the role of the United States in the war. [..]
"Fault Lines worked with journalists in Gaza to profile three families as they try to survive the war."
Remember the BS lies of #US propaganda about #Biden warning #Netanyahu about attacking Rafah?
Netanyahu has once again showed who is the boss and slaughtering the besieged and defenceless Palestinians.
You don't hear him or his criminal spokespersons saying anything about the horrors of #Rafah and and the imposed starvation of half a million #Palestinians, most of them women and children.
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."
@LALegault : IMO, even suggesting that "Israel society" advocates ethnic cleansing and genocide, is DISCRIMINATION - because it is not true (see below).
If we discriminate, how are we not as insane as those individual Israeli's who state that every Palestinian is a terrorist?

“Divestment at the University of Edinburgh: Breaking from Balfour’s colonial legacy: As a university steeped in the legacy of Balfour, we have an urgent duty to end complicity in Israel's settler colonial project. Divestment from companies complicit in occupation, apartheid, and genocide is the first step toward historical redress.”
by University of Edinburgh Students and Staff Divestment Movement in Mondoweiss @mondoweiss
“This Monday 17th June 2024, the University of Edinburgh Court rules on a historical decision on whether or not to begin an active and immediate process of divestment from ‘controversial weapons’ complicit in Palestinian dispossession and Israeli settler colonialism, which the University has been entangled with for well over a century. The ruling of the court could mean immediate divestment from companies like Amazon and Alphabet as their ‘AI solutions’ might be plausibly in use in the mass targeting of civilians in Gaza. This would set a grand precedent and would serve as a concrete step to reducing our institutional complicity in violence against Palestinians.”
@TruthSandwich@plink@palestine@israel
This war in #Gaza didn't start on October 7th. You can't deny history to excuse the #Zionists. Murderous, genocidal, #Israeli attacks on #Palestinians have been going on for over 75 years. But you don't like it when they fight back - you just want the #Palestinians to lay down and die as their land is stolen by European colonists.
