Israel is expanding Jewish-only settlements in the occupied West Bank at an alarming rate. The settlements are illegal under international law and work to fragment Palestinian territory, actively eliminating any practical possibility of establishing a viable Palestinian state.
Our #SJP is reading James and Grace Boggs on the Royce Quad and I’m swooning. The students are educating themselves, about things they care about. We should listen, or they will stop talking to us. Respect.
I just don't understand how green party members can be so strongly pro Israel.
Even in Sweden, where the greens used to be on the left spectrum on many issues, including Palestine and Israel occupation, the new policies of the Miljö Partiet have moved to the right, very close to those of Social Democrats and Center Partiet.
The right have always been strong supporters of Israel and the current minority coalition government who is heavily dependent on the extreme right (Swedish Democrats, the former Neo Nazi party who stopped shaving their heads and replace their boots and military clothing with suits and tie) have said many times that they regret the recognition of palestinian state and just ordered a multi million euro contract for Israeli made air-to-surface missiles "proven to be efficient in battle" which means they were used against defenceless Palestinians.
The only party in Sweden who is strongly firm on their support of palestinians is Vänster Partiet (the left party, reformed from the former non-soviet friendly communist party).
The unfolding genocide in Gaza is the latest chapter in Israel’s attempt to remove Palestinians from their land. All those calling for a ceasefire should join in the longer-term efforts to dismantle Israeli apartheid.
The German climate movement is falling apart over Palestine
"Mainstream German climate activists are doubling down on their support for Israel. As a result, majority-white groups like Fridays for Future (FFF) Germany, Ende Gelaende, and Extinction Rebellion (XR) Germany have weakened, while groups consisting of or led by people of colour with a focus on decolonialism in climate justice are becoming more prominent."
« Alors que l’#Allemagne tarde à dénoncer les crimes perpétrés par #Israël contre le peuple palestinien, le chercheur #HenningMelber propose une analyse sur les liens existants entre la #ViolenceColoniale, le #génocide des Namas et des Héréros au début du XXe siècle, la Shoah et la position actuelle de Berlin vis-à-vis de Tel-Aviv. »
Dutch police were seen attacking pro-Palestine protesters in The Hague with batons on Thursday, as the demonstrators attempted to break through a police line barring them from reaching and occupying the Ministry of Education building.
Several protesters were injured as a result of the police intervention, although no arrests were reported.
Protests at Dutch universities have spread in recent weeks but have often been met with harsh police response.

Families of Palestinian prisoners are kept in the dark about the fate of their loved ones at a time when Israeli prison authorities are creating conditions unfit for human life.
Remarks by a Palestinian official in an interview:
"These people fought us as Israelis. As soon we take them prisoners, they become French, American, English or German. What does that mean?"
Civilians are being forced to move in a circle of death. That's how UN officials are describing life in Gaza.
Thirteen Palestinians were killed and several others wounded early Friday morning in a series of airstrikes, which targeted central and northern Gaza.
A desalination plant in Nuseirat has also been attacked, claiming more lives in the same area Israeli missiles killed at least 40 people at a UN-run school on Thursday morning.
“The strike happened around 2 a.m. And from what we understand, there are between 35 & 45 people killed. Many of them are children.
We also remind that this being an UNRWA shelter, up to 6,000 people had sought refuge & safety inside that school”
“We’ve been hearing about precision strikes and about reports that some of the UNRWA or U.N. installations have been used by Palestinian armed groups. We hear about this every time a strike kills scores of civilians in or near our buildings.”
“Since the beginning of this war, Gazans have been issued what the Israeli government calls evacuation orders. In reality, these are orders for forced displacement.”
“A ceasefire is what everyone in Gaza needs right now, just to take a breath and have some respite. But in addition to the ceasefire, there has to be a much increased flow of humanitarian assistance going in”
Sarah Katz, a Jewish activist who once lived in Gaza says a society that she found tolerant and empathetic is being erased by Israel.
Katz tells TRT French she lived among Palestinians for two years and as a Jewish woman she has never experienced anti-Semitism or intolerance.
Katz, who is a member of French Jewish Union for Peace, says she helped Palestinian farmers and fishermen to combat Israel’s blockade of Gaza and acted as a human shield.
