Israeli historian @bartov_omer speaking on prime-time TV in Italy:

“[Israel is] a country that is unwilling to face the truth, and that brings us to the issue of genocide... When genocide occurs, the entire society of the country perpetrating it becomes complicit in that genocide.

Therefore, we must ask ourselves: in the case of Israel, where there is a conscript army made up of the sons and daughters of most Israeli citizens, what does it mean for a country to be involved in these activities? It means that everyone becomes part of this event: those who carry it out, those who deny it, and those who do nothing to stop it...

In the case of Israel, this is a country going through a profound phase of denial...

When people say that criticism of Israel, criticism of Zionism, or even the rejection of Zionism is antisemitism, frankly, that is nonsense. It concerns the rejection of a specific ideology that is no longer sustainable.”

Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya’s message to the court today as relayed by his attorney:

“I am a pediatrician. I provide medical care to patients, the injured, and vulnerable people in the Gaza Strip. I have carried out my work in accordance with international law and humanitarian standards. My detention is unjust and arbitrary.”

What the organisers of the June 30 action actually want: instil fear, polarise society, legitimise violence and wanton destruction, torture those who "don't belong". We will all pay the price if they win. Migrants will suffer and so will SAns who don't pass the citizenship test.

Four steps that can drastically reduce the persistence of anti-foreigner violence, including a more humane way of managing regional labour migration. Labour competition is a key ingredient in the toxic cauldron of anti-foreigner mobilization.

Last weekend in Al-Khalil (Hebron) Israeli soldiers fired at a Palestinian family in their car. The soldiers claimed the car was speeding at them.

A 7-month-old baby died from agunshot to the head.

It turns out someone took a video of the incident. The car fully stopped. The soldier fired anyway.

He murdered a baby, and almost an entire family, in cold blood.

There was no violence and no fighting going on. No unrest. No stress.

This is Israeli society: am industrial scale assembly line of baby murderers in cold blood.

This is the apartheid and occupation Palestinians are forced to live under decade after decade.

Hundreds of thousands of Israelis could have been there instead of that soldier, and make the same decision, and have no emotional response whatsoever.

The Jewish state is a superpower of child murder. And it is protected by all the cultural, political, academic, economic, creative forces of an entire civilization.

May it burn with all its psychopaths and murderers.

Israel continues to carry out genocide in the name of and to honor earlier victims of a genocide. Hitler smiles.

אביו של התינוק שנורה למוות בידי צה"ל בחברון: עצרתי כשהתבקשתי ואז פתחו באש. "לא הייתה שום אזהרה", סיפר פאהד אבו הייכל, והוסיף שהכדור עבר דרכו ופגע בראש של בנו – שהיה בזרועות אימו. "החייל היה במרחק של כעשרה מטרים ממני. היה אור יום והכול היה ברור"

[Chris Hedges @ChrisLynnHedges]

An audience member at a Q&A recently asked me why I'm so apocalyptic. The genocide in Gaza, beyond being a tragedy, marks an irreversible shift in the global world order. Before the genocide, the imperialist ambitions of the Western oligarchic class were partially constrained by the utopian ideal of the rules-based order. Now that ideal is gone, and unrestrained barbarity will characterize the methodology of the war-making ruling class. In other words — our future is an apocalyptic one.

🧵"Desidero che la Papamobile venga trasformata in una clinica mobile e donata ai bambini di Gaza"
Questa è una delle ultime volontà di Papa Francesco prima di morire.
Ad eseguire la disposizione di Papa Francesco, il Vaticano incarica il cardinale svedese Anders Arborelius che a sua volta incarica la Caritas svedese per la trasformazione del veicolo.

Quando la stampa dà la notizia dell'incarico alla Caritas svedese di trasformare la Papamobile in clinica mobile per i bambini di Gaza, scatta la solidarietà dei cittadini svedesi che in pochi giorni inviano alla Caritas cospicue donazioni.

Grazie alle somme raccolte, la Caritas, non solo riesce a trasformare la Papamobile in una clinica mobile fornita di attrezzature mediche di ultima generazione, ma acquista altre 12 ambulanze da inviare a Gaza.

A novembre dello scorso anno, quando i lavori sulla Papamobile sono ultimati, per celebrare l'evento e assolvere all'ultima volontà di Papa Francesco, il Vaticano sceglie Betlemme, la città simbolo per eccellenza della cristianità, la città dove nacque Cristo.
In Piazza della Mangiatoia, il cardinale Anders Arborelius benedice la Papamobile e le ambulanze in partenza verso Gaza.
La Papamobile viene rinominata "Veicolo della Speranza".

Passano giorni, settimane e poi mesi ma gli occupanti israeliani non consentono alla Caritas di fare entrare il Veicolo della Speranza a Gaza.
I rappresentanti del Vaticano e della Caritas chiedono più volte spiegazioni ma Israele si prende gioco di loro inventando storie assurde.
"Non è pervenuta alcuna richiesta di autorizzazione"
E poi ancora: "I materiali sanitari all'interno della Papamobile potrebbero finire nelle mani di Hamas ed essere usati come armi".

E intanto la Papamobile, trasformata in un gioiello della tecnologia medica, in grado di curare 200 bambini al giorno, è ancora lì, dopo sette mesi, sotto una teca in un parcheggio a pochi metri da Piazza della Mangiatoia in attesa di raggiungere i bambini di Gaza.

In uno stupendo articolo scritto dal cardinale Arborelius su ICN, Independent Catholic News (*link nel primo commento) il cardinale si rivolge alle autorità israeliane, chiede, quasi supplica, di lasciare entrare il Veicolo della Speranza ma non rinuncia a scrivere: "Negare le cure mediche ai bambini significa oltrepassare un limite morale che dovrebbe turbare tutti".

Limite morale che non turba i leader politici occidentali che ostentano senza ritegno la loro fede cristiana ma restano in un vile silenzio mentre la colonia di plastica denominata Israele umilia il Vaticano prendendosi gioco delle ultime volontà di un Papa.
Che schifo!

[B'Tselem בצלם بتسيلم @btselem]

“I nodded off and was woken by my daughter’s hysterical crying. When I picked her up, I discovered rats had gnawed at her foot while she slept. I was so afraid, I felt my soul leave my body. I started screaming and crying, grabbed her and ran together with my husband between medical service points to find medicine or disinfectants against infection and poisoning. But the military doesn’t even allow medicine and disinfectants into Gaza.”

Rana Qarmut, 22, describes the helplessness of parents in displacement camps trying to protect their children from the rodent infestation in Gaza.

Israel’s systematic destruction of the water and sewage infrastructure have turned these camps into a public health crisis: the extreme levels of garbage and open sewage flowing between the tents are an ideal breeding ground for rodents and pests.

According to Save the Children figures from April 2026, the tents in more than 80% of displacement camps have rats, fleas and ticks inside regularly. As summer temperatures rise, the combination of pollution, unhygienic conditions and a shattered healthcare system is leading to the spread of severe skin and intestinal diseases, and turning simple injuries into life-threatening conditions.

By blocking the entry of basic necessities for survival, including medicines and pesticides, Israel is perpetuating an environment in Gaza that is unfit for human habitation, deliberately leaving millions of displaced people exposed to epidemics.

The genocide in Gaza continues.

The genocide seems unstoppable,
Necrocapitalism seems invincible- but they are not!

All we need is UNITY. COORDINATION. PERSEVERANCE.

Keep Protesting. Striking. Boycotting. Litigating.

Not just once.
All the times needed till the Apartheid ends and the system which fed it too.

Of the 62 people who were killed during the 2008 xenophobic attacks, 21 were South African citizens who were deemed too dark to belong. SAns were also displaced.

No one deserves to be killed, harassed or displaced because of their nationality.
