Stolen West Bank settlement homes are being sold in America to Jews. An real estate event at a synagogue was set up, and this fine gentleman (a Jewish man) was having none of it.
In the West Bank, Israeli Settlers Are Burning Palestinians’ Olive Trees
In the West Bank, the Israeli army has banned Palestinian farmers from reaching their land and groups of settlers are burning farmers’ crops. Jacobin spoke to olive growers about Israel’s draconian moves to destroy their livelihoods.
There are only a few operational bakeries left in the Gaza Strip, due to the bombing of bakeries and shortages of flour and fuel. This has resulted in hours-long lines and social unrest, as more and more Gazans face starvation as a result of Israel's siege and bombardment. The latest from our Gaza Correspondent Tareq Hajjaj.
United Nations humanitarian chief: ‘Gaza is a carnage, worst crisis ever’
CNN's Christiane Amanpour (22 Nov): —How do you assess what's happening right now in terms of humanitarian needs in Gaza?
Martin Griffiths, United Nations' humanitarian agency chief (OCHA): —The worst ever, Christiane, and I don't say that lightly. I started off in my 20s dealing with the #KhmerRouge, and you remember how bad that was, the killing fields and so forth. But 68% of the people killed in Gaza are women and children. [...] It's complete and utter carnage.
He also says he has confidence in the numbers provided by Gaza's health ministry, because #UNRWA has been running relief institutions in #Gaza for decades.
Israel destroyed Gaza's oldest mosque built in 15th century.
#IDF is working hard to flatten out Gaza, erase it's history, make it uninhabitable and at the end getting rid of the Palestinians in the name of "right to defend itself" with the money, support and weapons of #US and it's allies in #NATO.
When Notre Dame was burned, the whole world was upset and made collections and support France to rebuild it.
Israel has in 2 months destroyed the 3rd oldest #church in the world and now the oldest #mosque in n #Gaza, all without a single condemnation by the "world leaders".
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
“They will move… they will move… The Arabs will move … if we don’t give them food, if we don’t give the Arabs anything, they will have to leave”

Palestinian journalists on the ground in Jenin refugee camp say they are being targeted by Israeli forces, along with medics and civilians. Videos show journalists being fired at with live ammunition, despite clearly being marked as press. Palestinian-American veteran journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was killed by Israeli forces while covering a raid on Jenin camp just one year ago.
'We Must Prevent Mass Atrocities and End This': US Jewish Group Calls on Congress to Halt #Gaza Carnage
"There is only one way to end violence: to address its root cause, 75 years of #Israeli military #occupation and #apartheid," said #JewishVoiceForPeace. "We must end U.S. complicity in this systemic oppression."
by Julia Conley, Oct 11, 2023
"The human rights group Jewish Voice for Peace on Wednesday issued an urgent call to the U.S. public, calling on Americans to pressure members of Congress to help end the ongoing airstrikes in Gaza, which have now killed at least 1,100 people and injured nearly 5,200.
"The Biden administration on Tuesday pledged to deploy military assets for #Israel to use in its assault on Gaza—which analysts say could involve even deadlier ground attacks in the coming days—and U.S. President Joe Biden said he would soon ask Congress 'to take urgent action to fund the national security requirements of our critical partners.'
"To counter that, said Jewish Voice for Peace (#JVP), Americans who oppose the killing of #Palestinian civilians in retaliation for Hamas' surprise attack over the weekend must make their voices heard by Congress as well.
"'The U.S. must work to immediately de-escalate to prevent the further loss of life, and not fuel and exacerbate the violence by sending more weapons to Israel,' said JVP. 'There is only one way to end violence: to address its root cause, 75 years of Israeli military occupation and apartheid. We must end U.S. complicity in this systemic oppression.'"
"Birthright trips are 100% propaganda trips. ...Any Jewish person who was on a birthright trip think about it 'why was anybody paying for a free vacation for you? Because we love the Jews? No, because we're American and Israelis need Americans to side with you."
"La bande de Gaza compte 2,1 millions de personnes, dont 1,4 million de réfugiés (70 % de la population) /.../ Elle est l’un des territoires les plus denses au monde avec plus de 5 203 habitants au km2 (près de 40 000 dans les huit camps de réfugiés). En mai 2021, 71 % de la population avait moins de 30 ans.
They are proud of their soldiers comitting war crime.
And disgusting #GenocideJoe doesn't have the balls to condemn this outrageous crime that killed over 104 people and injured close to 800.
The stench of hypocrisy and inhumanity of the western leaders, is so strong and sickening that I just can't stand it.
Who remembers the "world" reaction to the story of the missile with cluster bombs that hit a train station in Ukraine, something that was blamed on Russia, despite the fact clear proof of trajectory of the missile showed that it was an Ukrainian missile that misfired.
Here we have a nation who proudly brag about their soldiers comitting a horrible war crime, we have 100s of videos and pictures plus testimony of Israeli military admitting that it was them who did it, but the hypocrites of the west can't have an ounce of decency to condemn it and call it for what it is.
The Irish government allows a motion to pass in Parliament calling for sanctions on Israel, a ban on settlement trade, recognition of Palestinian statehood and dismantling the system of apartheid.
The Hebrew University suspends Professor Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian, an Israeli-Palestinian faculty member.
She is accused of "anti-Zionist statements".
The university president demanded that she leave her tenured position.
In his letter, President Asher Cohen specifies that Shalhoub-Kevorkian signed a petition calling the actions in Gaza "a GENOCIDE", and Israel "an OCCUPYING power".
He says that since she refuses to resign, he suspended her for the "safety" of the students.

The weight of weapons sent by Pentagon during this shipment exceeds the total "humanitarian aid" US have sent to Gaza since the start of the Israeli attacks.
