✅ Олександра Матвійчук з Центру гроомадянських свобод, Нобелівська лауреатка миру 2022 року в промові під час відкриття #LMF2024 каже, що міжнародні закони не працюють нині, й немає механізмів для правозахисників аби рятувати цивільних.
🇺🇦 Тільки один спосіб залишається ефективним – збільшити постачання зброї для країни, яка захищається
"Such beauty! This is what happens to whoever brings food to Hamas" Judeonazi settlers in West Bank blocked two Palestinian trucks, claiming they carry Gaza aid, threw rocks at the drivers, wounding one of them, and destroyed goods. No arrests were made. State-backed terrorists. https://x.com/ireallyhateyou/status/1790807200933318876
After 75 years of failure, one would imagine that a people would learn what works and what doesn’t, both from their own experience, as well as the experience of others.
“The principal grievance of the #Palestinian cause, one revealed in those rejections of sovereignty and by rhetoric spanning generations, is not the absence of a desired nation-state but the existence of another one” #Israel
What is that predicament? It is defined by five dire properties:
#Palestinian predicament is the direct or indirect outcome of three #Arab-#Israeli wars, each about a generation apart. These are the wars that started in 1947, 1967, and 2000. Each war was a complex event with vast, unforeseen, and contested consequences for a host of actors, but the consequences for the Palestinian people were uniquely catastrophic: the first brought #displacement, the second brought #occupation, the third brought #fragmentation.
As with the 1st #Arab-#Israeli war, memories expanded and hardened with time, and the mythology of the defeat came to assume much larger dimensions than the size of the war or the actual defeat itself.
Major anniversaries of the #SixDayWar were largely marked in the Arab world as “the beginning of the #occupation.”
Minimal reckoning with Arabs’ own failures was with military errors and not with the overall goal of exacting revenge and eliminating #Israel.
“So that the problem [of Gaza] does not return, two things must be done: return to the Gaza Strip and encourage the voluntary departure of the residents of Gaza. This is moral, rational and humanitarian.”
Ben-Gvir
“First, we must return to Gaza now. We are coming home to the holy land. And second, we must encourage migration – encourage the voluntary migration of the residents of Gaza. It is moral.”
National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir
“For preserving the security achievements that our soldiers lost their lives for, we must resettle Gaza with security forces and settlers that will embrace the land with love.”
Israeli’s Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi
Settlers mobs south of #AlKhalil in the #WestBank set fire to the aid trucks that they stopped and damaged this afternoon, which were loaded with aid and headed to the #Gaza Strip.
No sign of Israeli police of IDF to protect the convoy or stop the terrorists settlers from destroying aid packages, mostly baby formula, diapers and medical equipment.

The other side has pundits & pols spouting feeble talking points, propaganda, and lies motivated by?... Money? Power? Status-quo elitism? Racism? Arms sales? I don't know.
Another excellent article from Nesrine Malik who writes:
".protest becomes necessary precisely because authorities have not been responsive. And it is defined by asymmetry of power and access to political tools. Politicians have executive power, and protesters have one thing: their voices"
Today marks two years since #AJArabic Palestinian-American veteran journalist #ShireenAbuAkleh was shot and killed by Israeli Forces.
The Al Jazeera family & the world have not stopped seeking #justiceforshireen and will continue to honour her bravery, courage and loyalty to journalism.
Documentation shows the extent of #torture perpetrated by Israeli prison guards on the released #prisoner Adeeb Mustafa Samoudi while in the occupation’s “Gilboa” prison.
Samoudi, who is from #Jenin, spent a total of two years in Israeli prisons with no charges and was released yesterday.
76 universities in #Spain decided to sever cooperation relations with #Israeli#universities and research centers and linked the return of cooperation to the occupation universities’ condemnation of the #occupation army’s invasion of the #Gaza Strip.
Earlier today, Israeli settlers launched an attack on the #UNRWA headquarters in occupied #Jerusalem, setting fire to its surroundings. Israeli authorities have not intervened or made any arrests among the Israeli attackers.
Ma'ariv newspaper describes the situation as: There is a new prime minister in “Israel”.
They add that in practice, Benjamin Netanyahu has become the servant of his master, Itamar #BenGvir, and this raises the obvious question: To what extent has Netanyahu deteriorated?
National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir appeared in front of the cameras a few days ago while leaving the Prime Minister’s Office, acting Prime Minister, and announced in an unambiguous tone: “I warned the Prime Minister that we will not enter #Rafah, nor will there is an illegal deal.
The Prime Minister heard the words, and promised that "Israel" would enter Rafah, and promised that the war would continue, and promised that there would be no illegal deal.
These words and tone of voice leave no room for doubt in the heart of every listener. There is a new prime minister in the State of #Israel.
This raises the obvious question: To what extent has Netanyahu deteriorated? It has reached the point where even a response from a prime minister, in order to preserve his dignity, is not uttered.
Netanyahu, despite thousands of disagreements, knows what the majority of the people want: the release of detainees, and he also knows what is important and useful to the people.
But he follows Ben Gvir and Bezalel #Smotrich, because that is what is good politically for Netanyahu for obvious reasons.
I’m supporting #student#protest in #Amsterdam remotely - through my “boots on the ground”, belonging to my wonderful rebel Alisa: #Occupation of #UvA still going strong, asking more people to come & to #donate supplies
