"But there is a disconnect between condemnation and outrage, and what happens on the ground. When it comes to Israel, the levers of international censure are broken. Throughout the war, international organisations, humanitarian missions and courts of justice have been rendered powerless by their inability to translate their findings into action. Words alone mean nothing. They simply bounce off #Israel’s iron dome of impunity. Every day, the world wakes up and is confronted with an #Israeli leadership that violates every law of morality and logic. Victims are aggressors, humanitarians are biased, an army that kills unarmed medics is the most moral army in the world. Up is down."

problem is not Netanyahu, it is not Ben Gvir. it is the white supremacist mindset of Israeli public.

"In a press conference on Monday morning, Albanese said: “#Israel’s actions are completely unacceptable.”

“It is outrageous that there be a blockade of food and supplies to people who are in need in #Gaza … People are starving. The idea that a democratic state withholds supply is an outrage.”"

"The head of a US-backed private humanitarian organisation that is tasked with distributing aid in #Gaza using an #Israeli-initiated plan resigned on Sunday, saying that the operation could not fulfil its mission in a way that adhered to “humanitarian principles”.

Executive director Jake Wood announced his resignation in a statement from the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), adding fresh uncertainty to the operation’s future."

Anyone who says Gaza will be at peace if Hamas just surrenders and releases the hostages is either knowingly sowing disinformation or ignorantly sowing misinformation. We need to make sure everyone’s clear on this so nobody can say they didn’t know after history unpacks this one.

Netanyahu has made it completely and unambiguously clear that even if Hamas surrendered today and released every single hostage, Trump’s ethnic cleansing plan will still need to be implemented as a precondition for ending the mass slaughter. To be absolutely 100 percent clear, Trump’s plan for Gaza is that “all” Palestinians be removed on a “permanent” basis, never allowed to return.

There is no way to permanently remove all Palestinians from a Palestinian territory without material coercion — meaning more mass scale violence and siege warfare. There is also no way to argue that this mass displacement would be voluntary even without further violence, since Israel has been deliberately and systematically making the Gaza Strip uninhabitable by destroying civilian infrastructure. Forcing them to choose between starvation in an uninhabitable wasteland or submit to ethnic cleansing is exactly the same as forcing them out at gunpoint.

>> The individual under investigation served as a combat engineering soldier in the Israeli military ...

>> The opening of this investigation in #Peru demonstrates that the #HRF’s legal actions against travelling Israeli soldiers are not symbolic gestures—they yield tangible legal consequences. It is a powerful precedent, affirming that no perpetrator of atrocity crimes should feel shielded by distance or diplomatic complacency.

>> The Hind Rajab Foundation calls upon all states—particularly those that are parties to the Geneva Conventions and the Rome Statute—to follow Peru’s example by initiating proceedings against individuals implicated in the Gaza genocide who may enter their jurisdictions.

>> There are in Israel more than a few politicians and public figures calling to end the war. There are many people who are fighting courageously for the release of the hostages...

>> ... Few express concern publicly not only about Israel's reputation and moral standing but also, and chiefly, about the fate of Gaza's inhabitants.

>> The human shock over what happened on October 7 has not been replaced by a similar shock over what Israel is doing in Gaza... "Please do not disturb, we are still in October 7."

>> But since then, we have committed a thousand October 7s, and these have not managed to touch the hearts of Israelis...

>> The war must stop first of all because it is a war of destruction, causing inhuman suffering to the people of Gaza. There is no one in Israel who will put it in those words.

Israel is using starvation as a weapon — not to win the war, but to stretch it. By blocking aid and delaying ceasefires, it turns hunger into a tool of control, coercion, and slow annihilation.

Israeli forces have killed nearly a dozen Palestinian children in the Gaza Strip in the last 48 hours, while thousands more face the threat of imminent starvation amid an intensifying humanitarian crisis.

On Sunday, four-year-old Mohammed Yassine joined dozens of other children who have starved to death in recent days as the World Food Programme (WFP) warned that more than 70,000 children in Gaza face acute levels of malnutrition.

"Dr Victoria Rose, who is volunteering alongside Groom, received a video of the aftermath of the attack.

“The video shows all of the children being pulled out of the fire and they are absolutely charcoaled to a crisp. It is so horrific,” she said."

Begin on October 7th, 2023.

Nothing important happened before this date.

History began on October 7th.

Never say the word occupation and avoid using terms like, “apartheid,” “segregation” and “illegal settlements.”

Avoid writing about the wall. If you do, preface its existence by talking about terrorism and security.

Terrorism and security are very important words. Use them a lot in reference to Palestinians.

Remind your audience that Palestine is a “complicated” situation.

Avoid the word genocide — for legal and technical reasons of course.

If you must use the word, put it in quotes.

Do not describe the escalation of Israeli hostility as an assault on the people of Gaza.

Instead, use words like “war,” and “conflict,” because that makes it easier to avoid the g-word.

When writing about Palestine, do not let facts get in the way of telling a good story. To this end, ignore Palestinian sources. They may be biased.

On the other hand, the Israeli military is a highly credible source of information.

If the Israeli army says nothing happened, then nothing happened.

Linking countries that fund weapons to the armies that use them fosters transparency.

So, when you write about attacks on Tel Aviv, it is important to mention that the missiles were fired by Iran-backed Hezbollah.

Do the same when you write about the Houthis.

Do not follow the same protocols when it comes to Israel.

The American-backed Israeli army makes its own decisions about when to drop American and British bombs.

When talking about Muslim communities, throw around phrases like “terrorist hotbed,” and “Hamas sympathizers.” This works even when those communities are in the UK or America.

Repeatedly demonize people who peacefully protest for Palestine.

Center the voices of people living in Western countries who feel unsafe when they hear the phrase “from the river to the sea.”

Don’t ask your readers to imagine how unsafe children actually living, wounded and dying in Gaza and the West Bank feel.

>> You don’t need to understand every little detail about Israel and Palestine to oppose the genocide ...

>> ... I see too many people get intimidated away from speaking out about Gaza by an erroneous but widespread notion that this is an issue best left to the experts... promulgated by Israel and its apologists throughout the western world ...

>> And it’s complete bullshit. The Gaza genocide is exactly what it looks like at first glance...

>> You don’t need to know everything about the history of modern Israel to know that it’s wrong to intentionally starve a civilian population. You don’t need to be able to defend your position to aggressive pro-Israel trolls online to know that it’s wrong to assassinate journalists, bomb hospitals, and rain military explosives on areas full of children...

If the government has a shred of shame they'll cancel the event. I really hope sense prevails so we don't legitimize this rubbish Zionism nonsense by way of soft power and cultural efforts.

Israeli Police Visit, Question Anti-war Protesters' Homes After House Arrest Expires - Haaretz (2025-05-25)

>> Israeli police officers visited the homes of three anti-war protesters [incl. ‘Standing Together’ co-director Alon-Lee Green] in the middle of the night on Friday, despite their house arrest orders having already expired.

>> According to the activists, police questioned them about their participation in a recent demonstration and asked whether they planned to attend another protest the following day. Their attorneys say the visits are a form of intimidation aimed at deterring dissent during wartime…

The police request 5 days of extention to the detention of Eran Maoz, who was arrested in Um-alFahm yesterday.
He is in charge with:
Participation in unlawful gatherings
causing a severe injury
assault of police officer
waving flags of incitement (No such thing in Israeli law AFAIK).

I learned about this Global March to Gaza via a Labour for Palestine group chat:

https://marchtogaza.net/

"Why go all the way to the Gaza border?

Because no one is acting proportionately to the tragedy…"

https://marchtogaza.net/we-march-to-gaza-15-june-2025/

"Date confirmed by the College of National Delegates (CND) . Be there. Join the global march for justice.
