[State of Palestine @Palestine_UN]

On this day 26 years ago, the world watched, as Jamal al-Durrah tried to protect his 12-year-old son Muhammad from Israeli bullets that rained down on them in Gaza for 40 minutes. Despite pleads, Israeli soldiers intentionally shot Muhammad in the stomach- whose final moments of fear and horror were caught on camera and streamed by France TV, and injured his father.

Muhammad became the defining and haunting image of the Second Intifada.

Will Jewish communities be asked to condemn these extreme statements from the Chief Rabbi of the self-proclaimed Jewish state, in the same way that Muslim communities for 25 years have been asked to condemn extreme statements from every random imam anywhere in the world?

“Do You Support Israel’s Right to Exist?” Mehdi Hasan FIRES BACK

Mehdi Hasan: I've been debating hardcore Zionists, Israeli supporters of Israel, for years. And the conversation always comes back to one talking point:

“Do you, or do you not support Israel’s right to exist?”

If you don't, you're an extremist, you're an anti-Semite, you want to wipe Israel and millions of Israeli Jews off the map.

But you don't have to concede on this point. It's a bullshit argument.

Number one: Right to exist where?

Israel is the only country in the world that refuses to define its borders.

So if you want me to recognize Israel's right to exist, does that extend into Gaza, the West Bank, the Golan Heights, East Jerusalem all considered illegally occupied territory under international law?

So, right to exist where?

Number two: What is this right to exist? Where does it come from?

States don't have a right to exist. People, individuals have a right to exist. Human beings have that right. Not states, not countries.

The USSR broke up into Russia and 14 other states. Yugoslavia broke up. Czechoslovakia split into Slovakia and the Czech Republic.
What happened to their “right to exist”?
People have rights, not states.

And number three: If there is a right to exist, does Palestine have a right to exist?
Israel exists. It's a country with sovereignty, it's on the map.

The idea that in a world where Israel is genociding the Palestinians in Gaza, ethnically cleansing them in the West Bank, and blocking their legal right to return the idea that Israel's right to exist is the one we should be concerned about, and not Palestine's, is both ridiculous and, let's be honest, racist.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

This is happening in plain sight while Israel's defenders in the West gaslight us about 'the only democracy in the Middle East'

One year ago today, prominent journalist and Al Jazeera correspondent Anas al-Sharif was killed by an Israeli airstrike on a media tent in Gaza City.

He was 28 years old and had been receiving threats for reporting on Israel’s war crimes prior to his assassination.

The biggest mass funeral in Gaza was held this week for 112 people (including 44 children) that were killed in an Israeli strike on a residential block in 2023.

Their bodies were only recently recovered from the rubble in an operation that spanned across two weeks.
