بيان تنديد واستنكار
صادر عن اللجنة الشعبية في أم الفحم
تستنكر اللجنة الشعبية في أم الفحم بشدة الأساليب القمعية والاستفزازية التي انتهجتها شرطة الاحتلال خلال مظاهرة اليوم، والتي هدفت بوضوح إلى إفشال التحرك الشعبي والتضييق على حرية التعبير والتظاهر السلمي.
لقد شهدنا اليوم مشاهد مقلقة من عنف غير مبرر، وتصرفات استفزازية من قبل أفراد الشرطة ضد المتظاهرين، من أبناء وبنات شعبنا، الذين خرجوا ليُعبّروا عن موقفهم الأخلاقي والوطني المشروع.
كما تدين اللجنة الشعبية اعتقال الناشط عيران ماعوز، وهو من الرفاق التقدميين اليهود الذين يدأبون على المشاركة في النشاطات المناهضة للحرب على غزة ، ونعتبره اعتقالا تعسفيا كما كل الاعتقالات منذ بداية الحرب لا يهدف الا التخويف والتهديد الأمر الذي لن ولم يردع أصحاب الضمائر الحية في كل العالم من القيام بواجبهم الإنساني اتجاه غزة.
هذا القمع الممنهج لا يمكن قراءته إلا كاستمرار لنهج سلطوي يسعى لإسكات الصوت الفلسطيني الحر، وتجريم العمل الشعبي والسياسي.
نؤكد في اللجنة الشعبية أن هذه الممارسات لن تزيدنا إلا إصرارًا على مواصلة النضال السلمي، وفضح السياسات القمعية، وتعزيز صمود شعبنا وحقه في التعبير والاحتجاج.
وندعو جماهير شعبنا في أم الفحم وفي الداخل الفلسطيني عامة، إلى الالتفاف حول القضايا العادلة، والتمسك بحقهم في الفعل الشعبي، والتصدي لكل محاولات كمّ الأفواه.
اللجنة الشعبية في أم الفحم...

>> A quarter of 115 lorries carrying critical aid to Gaza have been looted by “desperate, hungry and traumatised” people who are living in deprivation, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees has said.

>> “The attempt to access food shouldn’t come as a surprise,” #UNRWA spokeswoman Tamara Al Rifai told The National. She said the behaviour is a reflection of people's “hunger and despair”...

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — As pressure mounts to get more aid into #Gaza, #Israel appears to be changing tack and may let aid groups operating in the battered enclave remain in charge of non-food assistance while leaving food distribution to a newly established U.S.-backed group, according to a letter obtained by #TheAssociatedPress.

"Several Palestinians and soldiers told the #AP that #Israeli troops are systematically forcing #Palestinians to act as human shields in #Gaza, sending them into buildings and tunnels to check for explosives or militants. The dangerous practice has become ubiquitous during 19 months of war, they said. "

"Dr Alaa al-Najjar, a paediatric specialist at al-Tahrir hospital within the Nasser Medical Complex, was treating victims of ongoing Israeli attacks across the strip on Friday when she was shocked to find her own children and husband brought into the hospital.

The children - the eldest aged 12 and the youngest just six months - were severely burned in the bombing."

Summary

• Mother of nine children recounts terrible week
• Family shares one meal a day between them, at most
• #Israel allows some food in amid starvation warnings

The AIs at Sesame are able to hold eloquent and free-flowing conversations about just about anything, but the second you mention the Palestinian genocide they become very evasive, offering generic platitudes about "it's complicated" and "pain on all sides" and "nuance is required", and refusing to confirm anything that seems to hold Israel at fault for the genocide -- even publicly available information "can't be verified", according to Sesame.

It also seems to block users from saving conversations that pertain specifically to Palestine, but everything else seems A-OK to save and review.

The convoy was on its way to a WFP warehouse in Deir al-Balah.

>> Following the airstrike and the loss of security, looters stormed the trucks and stole the aid, the #WFP confirmed in an official statement.

Stand With Logan Rozos: Sign Attorney Faisal Kutty's Global Letter to NYU - Action Network

https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/letter-to-nyu-re-loganrozos/
———

>> New York University is withholding Logan Rozos' diploma.

>> Now lawyer and law professor Faisal Kutty has sent a letter calling on NYU …

Scroll far down to find the full letter.

“... I am deeply disturbed by New York University’s decision to withhold the diploma of Gallatin valedictorian Logan Rozos following his brief but courageous acknowledgment of the ongoing atrocities in Palestine during his commencement address.

“There are moments in history when institutions are tested—not for their administrative efficiency or procedural compliance—but for their moral clarity. This was one such moment, and NYU failed.

“The notion that Mr. Rozos committed some form of institutional betrayal by deviating from an approved speech is both legally weak and ethically shameful…”

The forcible expulsion of the Palestinian people is now the explicit goal of Israel’s war on Gaza. Late on Wednesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel would only end the war if “Hamas surrenders, Gaza is demilitarized, and we implement the Trump plan.”

Trump walked back his February plan for the U.S. to “own” Gaza, expel its people, and turn it into a “Riviera of the Middle East,” but Netanyahu seized upon it all the same and took it as a green light to exterminate Gaza. The latest phase in this plan is Israel’s weaponization of humanitarian aid for the purpose of furthering the Gaza final solution.

The plan is simple: starve Gaza’s population, and only create one designated flattened stretch of land where they can come to get food rations — facilitated by the Israeli army and run by a U.S. private contractor. Gaza’s population will be forced to go to these collection points, where they will be corralled inside what would effectively be a concentration camp, located in what used to be the city of Rafah, now a flattened wasteland.

Netanyahu made all this clear in his latest announcement, which came a day after Israel said it would allow “minimal” amounts of humanitarian aid into Gaza for “diplomatic reasons” — to avoid war crimes charges and images of famine.

Abby Martin speaks with investigative journalist Jeremy Scahill about Israel's new offensive into Gaza that Netanyahu is calling the "final phase" of the genocide.

Israel has carried out multiple bombings across southern Lebanon, including blowing up a multi-story apartment building. The attacked happened just hours before local elections in the country’s south.

The Palestinian group Hamas on Friday welcomed a joint statement by 80 countries that described the situation in Gaza as the worst humanitarian crisis since the outbreak of Israeli military operations in October 2023. The statement, issued earlier this week, called for the protection of Palestinian civilians under international humanitarian law.

The ongoing genocide in Gaza, which has killed nearly 54,000 Palestinians, along with various plans to expel the remaining survivors, has one primary goal: to safeguard the Jewish settler-colony of Israel by restoring the lost Jewish demographic majority, which had been achieved through mass killings and expulsions since 1948.

Israeli strikes killed six Palestinian guards protecting aid trucks on Friday, as they were being attacked by looters, in what appears to be the latest coordination between the army and local gangs.
