New article at @JewishNewsUK The Gaza war as a mirror for Israelis
Why don’t British Jews wave the Israeli anymore? How can we explain the British pro-Palestinian stance after 7 October ? can we separate between the government and the IDF's responsibility?

Today I had a frank and constructive first call with Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar ⬇️

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

This is exactly what a head of government must say.

The ICC should (be left free to) do the rest.

[Matan Rosenstrauch @MatanSTR]

Glad to organise such an important meeting with @DemocratsIL candidates @mossi_raz @EmilieMoatti and Aeed Badir, with @MeretzUK and @JewishLabour.
These leaders, when elected, will make sure there’s an end to the Israeli immoral occupation and the settler violence we witness.

Recognition, yes; conditions, no.

The UK government is treating a moral obligation as a bargaining chip.
Recognition of Palestine is not a threat or punishment for Israel. But an outcome based on equal rights & mutual security is in the interest of both peoples. @BritPalProject

[Matan Rosenstrauch @MatanSTR]

Recognition of Palestine is the way forward to a different, more just, future. The man that says that it’s giving a price to terror is the man that starves children in Gaza, and that one days will stand firm trial in The Hague for this.

Or I stop believing in humanity.

106 בני אדם הופצצו למוות בעזה ביממה האחרונה. 106 בני אדם, כל כך הרבה נשים וילדים בהם, פשוט הופצצו למותם - כשהם רעבים ומחפשים מחסה במחנות העקורים. למה בכל יום אנחנו הורגים בין עשרות למאה אנשים? איך אפשר להסביר את זה? למה הטייסים לא מסרבים לזה?

[Alon-Lee Green - ألون-لي جرين - אלון-לי גרין 🟣 @AlonLeeGreen]

זה טבח. אין דרך אחרת לקרוא לזה. 300 הרוגים ב-48 שעות. בני אדם מורעבים שרק מנסים לשרוד ושמופצצים למוות באוהלי העקורים שלהם. ילדים שנהרגים בכמויות אינסופיות מפצצות שמוטלות עליהם. זה טבח. וזה לא יחזיר את החטופים ולא יביא לנו ביטחון.

🛑 Children + young people in East Jerusalem denied of their right to education in @UNRWA schools.

Today, Israeli Forces & personnel from the Jerusalem Municipality have forcefully entered the UNRWA Kalandia Training Centre and ordered its immediate evacuation.
At least 350 students and 30 staff were present and impacted.
Tear gas and sound bombs were fired.

Also, this morning, Israeli police officers, accompanied by staff from the Jerusalem Municipality went to UNRWA schools ordering their closure.

Today’s incidents have impacted 250 children in three UNRWA schools in East Jerusalem, +350 trainees in the Kalandia Training Centre, a large United Nations compound.

This is a violation of the basic right to #education as well as of United Nations privileges & immunities.

Children’s access to education must be preserved + United Nations facilities must be protected and respected at all times wherever they are.

[Matan Rosenstrauch @MatanSTR]

I've just signed this letter to the British Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary to call on the UK government to stop Trump's plan to occupy Gaza and forcibly remove Palestinians. Add your name here: https://t.co/XhsHdC2Uzc

לילא אל-חטיב, פעוטה בת שנתיים מכפר בגדה המערבית, נהרגה אתמול מירי של צלף צה״ל שירה בראשה. אמה, שנמצאת בהיריון מתקדם, נורתה גם היא ונפצעה. אני חוזר: בת שנתיים נורתה בראשה על ידי חיילנו. לא בעזה, אלא בגדה המערבית.

שמישהו יגיד לי - איך דבר כזה יכול, לעזאזל, להביא למישהו ביטחון?

[Matan Rosenstrauch @MatanSTR]

@PhilR_R @he_ireland Israel doesn’t have monopoly over the holocaust. Jews do.
Israel has monopoly over ethnic cleansing in northern Gaza. Get real

So excited to hear about the parallel with Northern Ireland and South Africa - maybe there is hope that one day this conflict will end?
