It looks to me like Netanyahu's plan is to keep the genocide going until November, have Biden lose the election, and "finish the job" to have a great Israel, from the river to the sea.

/ Spain, Ireland, Norway to recognize Palestinian statehood today (Tuesday)

and are the largest and most politically influential nations to recognize Palestinian statehood, joining a few other European countries that have already done so.

While largely symbolic, the three nations hope their move will gather momentum and spur more EU countries to follow suit. The , and some other EU states have indicated they could also recognize Palestinian statehood. However, said now is not the right time, while sided with the in rejecting a unilateral approach, insisting dialogue is needed for a two-state solution (the model, the Oslo accords, favored Israel and the status quo at the expense of Palestinian right for self-determination).

Key word " "appears". Macron is adept at appearing to favour something (eg the fight against climate change) and working to undermine it behind the scenes. Carrefour is a premium sponsor of the coming Olympic Games for instance. Pro-Palestinian demonstrations are brutally quelled, etc. etc. Macron thinks the people are stupid, that he can fool them. His government is pro-Israel (they love fascism).

Since the first ICJ ruling (Jan. 26), I've observed that France leaders started to talk about Palestinian statehood, etc. but in the acts kept assisting Israel. What prevents France from recognizing Palestine? Either the government has no real stance or no clue, or it is working behind the scenes to help Israel. (French jets assisted to stop Iranian drones, for ex.)

a) Seriously, do you think that 190 dead Israelis in Gaza would not cause an international stir, given how the deaths of Oct. 7th were, and are still, treated by the media? This is false ingenuity.
b) the soldiers take the time to summarily execute women and elderly people, and then, they pile the bodies in a mass grave.
c) Gaza is not a state, it was a concentration camp, under control of Israel, guarded by automatic weapons.

1-Israel has no borders. It refuses to define them.
2 -Israel built an illegal wall around the Gazans, with automatic weapons and cameras every 150 meters. Gaza is an open-air prison
3- Israel controlled everything that entered or exited Gaza through check points. They decided Gazans will not be allowed chocolate or pizza.

#Gaza / Israeli airstrike on Gaza kills seven working for food aid NGO

Hearing about the Israeli airstrike on Gaza which killed seven working for food aid NGO #WCK, I was reminded immediately of Meron Rapoport’s post about how Israel is sabotaging aid efforts. See Israel's Policy of Calculated Disorder in Gaza https://kolektiva.social/@oatmeal/112133541637687094.

There’s nothing much to add. At this point it does seem Israel is doing its best to sow chaos by killing foreign aid workers; as well as locals it agreed could assist in securing the deliveries.

[…] "This is not only an attack against #WCK, this is an attack on humanitarian organizations showing up in the most dire of situations where food is being used as a weapon of war," said Erin Gore, chief executive of World Central Kitchen.

No, that's not what the resolution says. The UN demanded an immediate ceasefire (Israel has killed over 100 people since) and demanded the release of the hostages. The two demands are not conditional upon one another and this resolution is binding.

Watch who will act surprised when death numbers explode. It's the plan.

"What makes the starvation campaign worse, [...] is that people in Gaza are facing these conditions while Israel is forcing them into increasingly small areas and has removed access to supplies needed for basic hygiene. This has created conditions for disease to spread extremely rapidly among Palestinians in Gaza, especially as their immune systems are already weakened by malnourishment."

The Hundred Years' War on Palestine
A History of Settler Colonial Conquest and Resistance, 1917-2017 by Rashid Khalidi

A landmark history of one hundred years of war waged against the Palestinians from the foremost US historian of the Middle East, told through pivotal events and family history.

@bookstodon
@palestine


In 1899, Yusuf Diya al-Khalidi, mayor of Jerusalem, alarmed by the Zionist call to create a Jewish national home in Palestine, wrote a letter aimed at Theodore Herzl: the country had an indigenous people who would not easily accept their own displacement. He warned of the perils ahead, ending his note, "in the name of God, let Palestine be left alone." Thus Rashid Khalidi, al-Khalidi's great-great-nephew, begins this sweeping history, the first general account of the conflict told from an explicitly Palestinian perspective. Drawing on a wealth of untapped archival materials and the reports of generations of family members—mayors, judges, scholars, diplomats, and journalists—The Hundred Years' War on Palestine upends accepted interpretations...

    Yes, and saying you expect a rigorous work from an historian with good academic credentials is not a logical fallacy.
    If we followed your logic, we should discard all opinions coming from experts renowned in their particular field, because that would be an appeal to authority.
    Basing one's assessment on solid work is not the same as citing a public figure with no expert knowledge on the issue.

    You implore me, I comply. The link you provided say the same thing I just told you, the logical fallacy you mention consists in appealing to people with no expert knowledge on the issue, and therefore does not apply to this particular case, as I keep telling you, since Khalidi is a qualified expert.

    screenshot of the page https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/fallacies/index.html 9. The ad verecundiam fallacy concerns appeals to authority or expertise. Fundamentally, the fallacy involves accepting as evidence for a proposition the pronouncement of someone who is taken to be an authority but is not really an authority. This can happen when non-experts parade as experts in fields in which they have no special competence—when, for example, celebrities endorse commercial products or social movements. Similarly, when there is controversy, and authorities are divided, it is an error to base one’s view on the authority of just some of them.

    My view (and I might be wrong) is that this Mossad man knows that Israel is forging new Hamas fighters by the day. He is very afraid of the boys and girls whose home they demolished, whose family they decimated, whose loved ones they murdered or injured in cold blood, imo. He assessed that under the age of 4, they are too young to seek revenge later. It's a wish to escape the consequences of their actions.

    Via: @Sherifazuhur

    https://sfba.social/@Sherifazuhur/111834792238942967

    What this means is, as I understand it, basically that Israel continues the and that the USA, Germany, Switzerland, Canada, the Netherlands, the UK, Italy, Australia and Finland are fomenting, and thus complicit in, that genocide.

    'The UNRWA is the largest humanitarian actor in Gaza and some 3,000 of its core staff out of 13,000 in Gaza continue to report to work despite the war, according to the agency.

    UNRWA’s Lazzarini said two million people out of about 2.3 million population in Gaza depend on the agency’s humanitarian operation.

    “I am shocked such decisions are taken based on alleged behavior of a few individuals and as the war continues, needs are deepening & famine looms,” the UNRWA chief posted on X.

    “Palestinians in Gaza did not need this additional collective punishment. This stains all of us.”

    The UN official added that the agency runs shelters for over one million people and provides food and primary healthcare even at the height of the hostilities.

    Meanwhile, UN chief Antonio Guterres said that the tens of thousands of people who work for the UNRWA, many in some of the most dangerous situations, should not be penalised because of the recent allegations.

    “The dire needs of the desperate populations they serve must be met,” he said.'
