Palestine Gaza

The similarities, primarily related to colonialism and the concept of identity and territory, seem obvious. But to report a uniform opinion on the most debated issue, particularly since last 7 October, is difficult: some support the Palestinians, some are on Israel's side, others have no opinion. As we will see at the end of this article, it is always the Sioux-Lakota who are the most combative.

The objective of this article is to set out lines of international complicity in Israel's war on Gaza towards establishing not merely a refreshed agenda for research but also strategic sites of accountability and intervention. The article surveys Israeli military activities in Gaza since the 7 October 2023 Hamas attacks, drawing focus on three key points of international military collaboration: the F-16 fighter jet; the GBU type bomb; and the weapons manufacturer, Elbit Systems. We then turn to multiple other geographies of exchange that are visible through a global frame, including military aid, ideological support, and the deployment of military personnel from overseas. The article thus substantiates an argument that Israeli military violence in Gaza depends on a global network of supply, demand, and complicity whose extraneous relationship with the state indicates politically urgent sites of critical inquiry and intervention.

Les événements qui se déroulent au Moyen-Orient au cours des deux dernières décennies ont laissé les savants et les croyants réfléchir à la signification de ces temps. Assistons-nous aux signes des grandes épreuves (al-Fitan, pluriel de fitnah) annoncées par le Prophète Muhammad ﷺ qui précéderont le Jour du Jugement ? En réfléchissant aux crises en Irak, en Syrie, en Palestine ; au Liban et au Yémen, les événements semblent s’aligner sur ce que le Prophète ﷺ a décrit à propos des épreuves et tribulations menant à l’apparition de l’Imam al-Mahdi et à la bataille finale, al-Malhama.

I would like all the People of Earth to step out of their Box and spend some time on Reflection.

Starting with Theodore's Manifesto of 1895, European Zionists Landing in Palestine, the buying of Palestinian Land by the Rothschild Financial from the British Zionists, the distribution of Land, the formation of the Irgun Terrorists, the Killing of British Soldiers, the Killing of the Palestinians, The Nakba which displaced 750000 Palestinians, the formation of the State of Zionist Israel, the Solid and unwavering support of the USA, the portrayal of the Russians, and the Arabs as the enemies of the Zionist State, the forced removal of the word Palestine and Palestinians from the OSLO Peace Agreement, the successive conflicts followed by the stall and steal tactics of Apartheid Israel, the Occupation of Gaza and the West Bank, the support of Palestinian Resistance given to Hamas by Netanyahu, at the same time separating Gaza from the West Bank, the Change in Constitution which made Zionist Apartheid Israel a Jewish State from a Secular State, and making all non Zionists second class citizens...

Step outside this box, and think about the Palestinians... what would you do?... Gideon Levy, a journalist that works for The Haaretz, once asked an Israeli Prime Minister -
Under these conditions of an open air prison under Occupation with Torture, what would you do? -
And the Prime Minister replied - I would have long ago joined the Palestinian Resistance!

And now I ask the Real Jews all over Earth, the Zionists all over Earth, and in Zionist Israel, step outside the box and think about the future generations. Step outside the box, and please reason.

Is this your Land? If Herzl had chosen a Land in South America, or in Uganda... you would still be facing challenges of colonialism, of being colonial settlers; just like the British and the Dutch in South Africa.
This opportunity may never come again. You are being invited by the Jews, Christian, Muslims and Druze to share this common Abraham's Land!

Once more I write that Zionist Apartheid Israel, the United States of America, the United Palestinian Resistance, the UNO and all of Earth already have the solution of ending the conflict, a permanent ceasefire, withdrawal, agreeing to a Comprehensive Peace Plan, signing it with UNGA as the witness, and then implementing Abraham's Land Solution. A single Secular Constitution with Charter of Rights and Freedoms, One Person/ One Vote applied equally and fairly to each and every Jew, Christian, Muslim, Druze and Zionist... This implementation will result in the release of all prisoners be they Zionists, Palestinians.

Once  again Netanyahu and his coalition partners are dead set against it... in fact they are quite clear... they do not want peace, they do not want a two state solution and they do not want the Abraham's Solution... as Theodore Herzl has written in his Manifesto... Netanyahu wants all Palestinians exterminated.

What is required then is for the United States to focus on stopping all support of Zionist Apartheid Israel. Joe Biden, the past presidents, and the current Pr4sidents to be are being hypocrites... they say al lot about Peace and their efforts but continue to send Weapons...

The ICC, ICJ and ICT must take over here.

I do not know the answers. But I do know that any lasting solution will require a nuanced approach that recognizes that the confluence of historical, religious, and social factors, makes the issues multifaceted and extremely complicated. Simplistic, one-sided, uninformed bias may nurture some level of intellectual/humanitarian self-esteem and righteousness, but do not help.

It seems to me that behind the current bleak scenario of the continuing massacre of the Palestinian population and the destruction of Gaza as a reaction to the pogrom against the Israeli population on Oct. 7, two genocidal impulses brood, shared by both sides albeit in different forms. Here, in fact, I think a distinction must be made between “extermination capacity” and “will to exterminate,” and I believe that while Israel has a high technological capacity for extermination restrained by a reduced ideological will to exterminate, in Hamas-hegemonized Palestine there is a high ideological will to exterminate restrained by a reduced technological capacity to exterminate.

Mi pare che dietro all’attuale scenario desolante del perdurante massacro della popolazione palestinese e della distruzione di Gaza, come reazione al pogrom contro la popolazione israeliana del 7 ottobre, covino due pulsioni genocidarie, condivise da entrambi i lati seppure in forme diverse. Qui, infatti, penso che si debba distinguere tra “capacità di sterminio” e “volontà di sterminio”, e ritengo che se Israele abbia un’elevata capacità tecnologica di sterminio frenata da una ridotta volontà ideologica di sterminio, nella Palestina egemonizzata da Hamas sia presente un’elevata volontà ideologica di stermino frenata da una ridotta capacità tecnologica di sterminio.

Allāh a acheté des croyants, leurs vies et leurs biens en échange du Paradis qui leur appartient. Ils combattent sur le chemin d'Allāh, ils tuent et sont tués. C'est une promesse en vérité, contraignante pour Lui dans la Torah, l'Évangile et le Coran » (Coran 9:111).

We write as members of California Scholars for Academic Freedom.* We condemn the treatment of five faculty who were given notice of violating Time Place and Manner Policies (TPM) under your administration and on your campus for amplified sound on May 2, 2024 at a student teach-in on Palestine. We are particularly alarmed that the faculty you targeted are predominately faculty of color and disproportionately Muslim. We understand that many faculty spoke at the teach in and used amplified sound but the only ones to receive a notice co-authored an Op-Ed that linked Boeing to CSU and called out the university’s complicity in the ongoing genocide against Gaza and the people of Palestine.

Living in a country that maintains diplomatic relations with an apartheid, settler-colonial state weighs heavily on the spirit. However, having ties with a nation committing one of the most widely broadcast genocides in history is unbearable. Beyond the pervasive sense of guilt, there is an overwhelming feeling of helplessness, as we Moroccans find ourselves unable to influence the situation or convince our government to sever relations with Israel.

The article explores the harrowing consequences of the ongoing genocide in Gaza, where the relentless war has devastated communities and left residents grappling with the reality of displacement and destruction. The article details the catastrophic loss of infrastructure, including homes, schools, and essential services, which has plunged the population into a dire humanitarian crisis. Vulnerable groups, such as orphans, widows, and the elderly, face compounded challenges in a landscape stripped of security and support. It emphasizes the urgent need for compassionate action, drawing on Quaker principles of empathy and solidarity. It calls for a collective response that transcends mere physical rebuilding, advocating for a restoration rooted in love, hope, and social justice. Ultimately, the piece serves as a poignant reminder of the moral imperative to stand with the people of Gaza in their time of profound suffering.

War and terror have been a constant in the territory between the Jordan river and the Mediterranean Sea since the League of Nations´ mandate (1920) to create a homeland for Jews and non-Jews in Palestine. The confrontation between the quest for national self determination of Jewish and Arab claimants to the land is ongoing and has exacted horrific costs on both sides.

War and terror have been a constant in the territory between the Jordan river and the Mediterranean Sea since the League of Nations´ mandate (1920) to create a homeland for Jews and non-Jews in Palestine. The confrontation between the quest for national self determination of Jewish and Arab claimants to the land is ongoing and has exacted horrific costs on both sides. The refugees of this struggle have had very different fates. The Jewish refugees were welcome and integrated into Israeli society-and are now the majority among Israel's citizens. The Palestinian refugees were not welcome by Arab nations. Many have become multi-generational refugees due to the fact that Arab and Muslim countries wanted to perpetuate the Palestinian refugee problem as a tool of anti-Zionist warfare. Refugees in the modern era-WWI and WWII signaled the end of the western colonial era and the birth of many of today's nation states. These wars caused horrific death and destruction, on an unprecedented scale. World War I resulted in approximately 20 million deaths and 21 million wounded. This includes around 9.7 million military deaths and 10 million civilian deaths due to related causes such as disease, famine, and massacres. World War II was even more devastating, with an estimated 70-85 million deaths. This includes 50-56 million directly caused by the war (both military and civilian) and an additional 19-28 million from war-related disease and famine.

The Book is in Arabic. Operation al-Aqsa Flood on 7/10/2023, marked a historic strategic shift and a significant advancement in the struggle against Israeli occupation. It shattered Israel's security framework, underscored the pivotal role of al-Aqsa Mosque and Jerusalem in Palestinian, Arab and Islamic consciousness, and demonstrated the resilience of the Palestinian people. The operation affirmed the resistance project, disproved the idea that the Palestine issue could be ignored or dismissed, and left a profound impact on the Palestinian trajectory, making 7/10/2023, a date of historical significance. The Operation triggered unprecedented reactions across Palestinian,

This paper explores the psychoanalytic dimensions of Gaza Writes Back through Dominick LaCapra's concepts of "acting out" and "working through," focusing on themes of trauma, memory, and resistance. "Acting out" refers to the compulsive repetition of traumatic experiences, trapping individuals in cycles of psychological suffering. In contrast, "working through" involves confronting and processing these experiences, allowing for mourning and potential healing. Applying these concepts to Gaza Writes Back, the paper examines the role of personal and collective trauma in shaping the psychological landscape of Gazans, with literature serving as a powerful tool for resistance and recovery. While "acting out" illustrates the re-living of past horrors, storytelling as a form of "working through" enables introspection and the navigation of grief. This paper highlights the capacity of literature to amplify marginalized Gazan voices, foster resilience, and offer a path toward healing in the face of the enduring impacts of war.

Dear California State University Chancellor Mildred Garcia,
We write as members of California Scholars for Academic Freedom.* We want to express our deep alarm over
the new Time, Place and Manner (TPM) directives recently imposed systemwide by the CSU. It is clearly a
response to the student encampment movement last semester to protest the genocide in Gaza. However, it
goes far beyond that and is a broad attack on academic freedom, freedom of assembly, freedom of association,
worker rights to concerted activity and of freedom of speech on all CSU campuses.
The new policy would suppress the rights in multiple ways and we are particularly concerned with how it could
infringe on faculty and staff rights to concerted activities, potentially stifling the ability of union members to
organize, protest, picket, and strike. Further, there is no religious exemption on the mask ban which could
violate the religious freedom of CSU campus members who wear face coverings as a religious practice. The mask
exemption for health reasons is also rife with possible abuse and stigmatizing. If people are feeling unwell, they
would not be able to use a mask to protect our immune compromised community members at the
CSUs. Determination of intent would be in the hands of administrators and campus police, with no assurances
of sufficiently rigorous training on islamophobia, ableism or broader anti-racist safeguards. Thus, we think these
TPM policies will punitively target people of color and intersectionally marginalized communities.

The paper "THE AXIS OF RESISTANCE AND ITS HISTORICAL PRESENCE" is an overall view of the politcal and millitary organization. Through bringing in many different references to the miltant Iranian organization, I hope to add some different insights to the controversal Iranian organization whose ideas and actions go beyond the poltical upheavel of the Middle East.

Commander in-Chief Joe Biden says Netanyahu is not doing enough to get a Ceasefire. Yes, the President of the United States continues to repeat that it is not his fault that 40000 Civilians have died. Yes, this is the President and Commander in-Chief of the United States who is saying that he is helpless, a ... that AIPAC, the House, the Senate, Anthony Blinken ... the CIA, the Pentagon... have and had a gun pointing at his head to sign away billions of dollars in ammunition, arms, tanks, jets, and whatever else it takes to exterminate all Palestinians. Clooney, Pelosi and many others... insisted the Joe Biden not run for the Presidency again. Clooney posted his Opinion on July 10 in the New York Times. 

This Platform posted a suggestion on July 7 that Biden step down immediately and for Kamala to take over. The Violent Murderous Settlers, long before October 7th, were already armed with automatic weapons by Gvir and Smotric and responsible for the pogroms before October 7th. The IDF and the Police never stopped them. And they continued on a daily basis after October 7th their killing, not in Gaza, but in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. They have delayed the Ceasefire as much as possible so as to steal more land from the Palestinians.
And now Netanyahu is demanding the Philadelphia Corridor for the Ceasefire to take place. This gives Netanyahu and the settlers under Gvir and Smotric to continue killing and stealing. To kill more civilians and steal land to build more settlements

The British under Prime Minister Starmer have decided that they must set things right. The British Zionists sold the Land which belonged to the Real Jews, Christians, Muslims and Druze to the Ruthless Rothschilds who made it possible for the European Zionists to settle and colonize the Land.

And in this admission, they want to create a New Mindset. A New MindSet in which the Secular Constitution guarantees equality leading to coexistence of Peace and Harmony
All of you have voted for Eternal Peace over Eternal War.
The Status Quo of a Two State Solution is Eternal War. The process of Genocide has already started. And it will and must stop!

The first step is that all Zionists and Palestinian Resistance will disarm
And so the task of the Constitution, Land redistribution and Peacekeeping will be left to the above Peacemakers and Peacekeepers in conjunction with the input from all five groups.

States, international organizations, and non-state actors profess commitments to legal principles, such as accountability, human rights, or sovereign equality, yet act in ways that contradict these ideals. In response to the perception that international law is selectively applied, claims of double standards are ever-present. Accusations of double standards serve as a rallying call to promote consistency and the equitable application of international law; alternatively, they are used to deflect criticism or avoid accountability. The resulting discussion of double standards intersects with and implicates other principles of international law, including fairness, equality, justice, and the rule of law. What is the function of the double standards critique in international law, and how is it different from other critiques of injustice?

Here's a whistle-stop interview with Palestinian compañero Hakam Soufan after the 7 July 2024 Palestine demonstration in Sydney: https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSYE7mpXg/.

At 4:15, again it's led, not LED. 7. At 4:25, it's hasbara, not hasbutta. 8. At 4:31 it's Zionist, not Zinist.

These are the officers and commanders responsible for executing Israel’s war in Gaza. The prosecutor of the International Criminal Court is investigating war crimes and crimes against humanity. Here are the prime suspects.

DAWN submitted to the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) a list of over 40 individual Israeli military officers who were involved in the first five weeks of the war Israel declared following the Hamas attacks of October 7, 2023. Each individual officer had command responsibility over units involved in the fighting or bombardment of Gaza between October 8, 2023 and November 13, 2023, or were involved in imposing the siege on Gaza in that time.

Israel hasn’t just lost the battle for hearts and minds in much of the world, including significant constituencies in Western countries.

It has scored a significant own goal that has rendered it all but impossible to achieve a key element of Israel’s quest for Middle Eastern and Muslim recognition.

It’s true that caring about that Palestinian child, in and of itself, will yield you no personal material gain. But being the sort of person who would care about that Palestinian child will help pave the way from hell on earth to paradise. Enough humans having a wide enough circle of compassion to care about the suffering of other humans who they will never meet is all it will take for us to create a healthy world.

Relatório, baseado em entrevistas com 55 sobreviventes, revela casos de estupro e tortura, além da privação de sono, comida e tratamento médico contra palestinos. Dos quase 10 mil palestinos sob cativeiro do regime genocida israelense, cerca de metade estão detidos sem qualquer acusação.

Rehinelerin kurtarılması için sokaklara dökülerek hükümetten en kısa sürede bir ateşkes ve rehine takası anlaşmasını talep eden protestocuların, şu an için Netanyahu hükümetinin kararlarını etkileyerek bir ateşkese zorlaması beklenmemektedir. Fakat İsrail'in kısa sürede Gazze'deki hedeflerine ulaşamaması, daha fazla asker kaybı yaşaması ve sağ olan rehinelerin de saldırılarda ölmesi halinde büyük bir toplumsal kırılma yaşanabileceği ve bu kırılmanın da sadece Netanyahu'nun siyasi ikbalini değil, genel olarak İsrail devletinin varlığını zora sokabileceği öngörülmektedir.

I want to talk about three different things. I want to talk about the 2024 General Election in the UK and the local campaign in Brighton and Hove; the Far Right and their targets; and the United Front, bringing together organised labour and the traditional left with the pro-Palestine/ Gaza anti-imperialist campaigners and activists in an inclusive, democratic and participatory local and national movement.

AN INTERVIEW WITH ISRAELI HISTORIAN AMOS GOLDBERG: Amos Goldberg has been a leading critic of Israel’s war in Gaza, which he calls genocide. In an interview, he told Jacobin why the term applies — and why the international community needs to wake up to this reality.

Allah voulait donner la victoire à Ses serviteurs ; donc, qu’ils aient envoyé 300 000 ou 3 milliards, cela n’aurait fait aucune différence car Allah voulait accorder la victoire à l’Ummah. Par conséquent, si Allah veut un but, s’Il veut donner la victoire à cette Ummah, Il créera les circonstances qui permettront à cette victoire d’avoir lieu.
