Jewish (israeli) genocide scholar, @bartov_omer:
“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.”
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.”

💢 An Israeli airstrike destroyed a medical supplies warehouse beside Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza, according to Healthcare Workers Watch. Video showed extensive damage to the facility, which stood next to a displacement camp west of the hospital.
UNRWA earlier warned staff to avoid the area after Israel issued a forced displacement order nearby. The strike came as families were forced into the streets in the middle of the night, once again displaced with little time to reach safety.
An Israeli settler lawyer who defends settlers who attack Palestinians told the BBC that Israel should kill everyone in the villages of Tell and Sarra in revenge for a single Israeli killed.
"One Jewish life is worth ten million," said Yehuda Shimon of the illegal Havat Gilad settlement. Asked if that sounded racist, he replied: "Yes, I know. But this is the truth. Because God chose us. You are jealous."
He said the Bible authorizes the settlers' claim to the land. Shimon spoke days after settlers from Havat Gilad stormed the village of Tell, killing four Palestinians from the Ramadan family and triggering a wave of settler attacks across the occupied West Bank.

El Gobierno garantizará la seguridad de los vecinos y vecinas de Ceuta, intensificando la presencia de las Fuerzas y Cuerpos de Seguridad en las calles de la ciudad.
Además, vamos a desplegar una barrera física de contención en el mar para facilitar la repatriación en frontera, cumpliendo con la sentencia del Tribunal Supremo.
Vamos a agilizar los expedientes de repatriación de los migrantes que llegaron de manera irregular.
Y mantendremos la cooperación con las autoridades de Marruecos para seguir luchando contra las mafias que trafican con seres humanos.
🚨Exclusive: The verbatim decommissioning text Hamas & other Palestinian factions agreed to:
Offensive weapons (e.g. rockets, tunnels, production sites) would be gradually handed over to a Palestinian gov (NCAG), not to Israel or any external party
Palestinian factions retain personal defensive weapons (e.g. firearms), to be licensed by NCAG
Decommissioning would only start after Israel fulfils the entire humanitarian protocol of the Trump deal, allows NCAG into Gaza & allows the deployment of the international stabilization force
Decommissioning is tied to Israeli withdrawal on phases & the disarmament of Israel's proxy gangs (this is the most contentious issue in terms of sequencing. Palestinian factions want withdrawal & decommissioning to happen in parallel, Israel wants full unilateral disarmament before any withdrawal).
A schedule of decommissioning & withdrawal would be finalized within 14 days, subject to extension (this is a possible loophole for Israel to procrastinate indefinitely).
The offensive weapons collected by NCAG would be stored & not destroyed (this is mostly a save face spin for Hamas & other armed factions. It's impossible NCAG would ever allow Hamas to get its hands on those weapons again, & its likely Israel will bomb the warehouses where the weapons are stored at the earliest opportunity. But Palestinian factions insisted on this clause in order to avoid accepting the end of the right to armed resistance or the appearance of surrender).
The text is concluded with an emphasis on "creating suitable conditions for a credible path to Palestinian self-determination & statehood" (aka constructive ambiguity).
🚨Prof. Mohammad Marandi Completly DESTROYS Alan Dershowitz.
🚨“YOU’RE The Evil Monster!”
🚨"You are the Nazi regime that is carrying out a holocaust in Gaza.
You're afraid because you know you have no
argument.
You are a coward.
You won't let me talk.
Epstein's lawyer, Trump's lawyer, is afraid of me.
I let you talk because I'm not afraid of you.
People are not afraid of you anymore.
You can kill Epstein.
You can kill whoever you like, but we're not afraid.
You can bomb my house.
You can kill me with my family, but I'm not afraid of you.
I'm prepared to die for the Palestinian people. But you, you who used to frequent Epstein Island, you have no principles and no morality."
Mohammad Marandi vs Alan Dershowitz on Iran
🚨 Saudi Arabia’s new Red Sea maritime coalition is reported to include Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Türkiye, Pakistan, Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, Jordan, Bangladesh, Nigeria, Sudan, Djibouti, Somalia and the internationally recognised government of Yemen.
Members are offering varying combinations of naval cooperation, intelligence sharing, maritime patrols, logistics and command support.
It demonstrates that these states are prepared, at least in principle, to combine military capabilities to confront what they regard as a hostile armed actor.
It is striking that no comparable coalition was assembled to prevent or halt the war crimes and genocide occurring in Gaza.
Palestinians now find themselves defenceless in the face of decisive israeli plans to steal their land, depopulate them & call it annexation https://t.co/NCvFOcFiT9
The continuation of this war will not end with Iran saying, "We can't take it anymore."
It will produce what these past months have already produced: closed sea lanes, a global fuel shock, dead American sailors, disputed targets that no one can fully account for, a criminal record accruing to U.S. politicians and military servicemen who carry out unlawful strikes, and a conflict spreading laterally faster than anyone can bring it to a close.
Cámaras del paso de la frontera España hacia Marruecos ahora mismo. Los millares que huían "del hambre y la miseria" volviendo al "hambre y la miseria".
El PLAN DE EEUU e ISRAEL era usar a Marruecos para PROVOCAR UNA RESPUESTA VIOLENTA de ESPAÑA que Israel y EEUU pudieran presentar internacionalmente como falta de legitimidad de una potencia colonial que reprime con violencia el legítimo reclamo de una “descolonización”.
Es una vergüenza como hemos sido atacados y vendidos por nuestros propios “aliados”.
💢 NEW: Israel Bombs Gaza, Kills Palestinians Hours After Trump Declares “Historic Breakthrough”
Within hours of President Donald Trump announcing a new agreement, new Israeli bombings and gunfire attacks killed at least one Palestinian and wounded several others in Gaza, medical authorities told outlets.
Gaza relief coordinator Eyad Amawi told Drop Site News that Israeli forces also ordered the forced displacement of whole residential blocks in two different locations, in Deir al-Balah and Nuseirat refugee camp. The orders violate the original ceasefire, as well as the newly agreed deal, and forced hundreds of Palestinians, including families with young children, to flee again in the middle of the night with nowhere to go. Hundreds are sleeping in the streets, Amawi told Drop Site.
The forced evacuations are part of Israel’s continued advance beyond the original ceasefire line. Under the watch of the U.S. President and his U.N.-backed Board of Peace, Israel has expanded its “Yellow Line” (marking the territory it controls in Gaza), from roughly 53% to around 70%, without either challenging the illegal advance.
Hamas said Friday that the first step toward implementing the agreement must be an Israeli commitment “to stopping the killing and ending its attacks.”
A senior Israeli official immediately said there would be “no withdrawal whatsoever” from the current Yellow Line unless Hamas undergoes what Israel considers “genuine disarmament.”
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has not publicly said whether he accepts President Trump’s deal, which requires Israel to halt its attacks, finally allow adequate food, water, shelter and fuel into besieged Gaza, and withdraw first to the original ceasefire line, and then from all of Gaza.
Norm Finkelstein discussing the alleged sexual violence committed on October 7 by Hamas: "I hope your viewers hear this. There is not one single frame of Hamas committing rape or sexual violence. Bear in mind, there's not only just an absence of any digital evidence which would take SEVEN months to go through. Of all the various technological paraphernalia; CCTV, traffic cameras, body cam, dash cam, GoPro. Not one of rape. Not one of sexual violence. Not one frame."
Just sitting on the pavement and clapping is now terrorism. Not saying anything, not holding or displaying any signs, just sitting on the pavement & clapping.
Andy Burnham can stop this. But he isn't.

The gift of Witness: What Jayson Gillham's fight reveals about the law and labour movement
‘Australian unions and professional bodies must step into the void to protect workers who wish to speak out against genocide through higher stakes campaigning and collective legal action.’
‘@jaysongillham invited all of us, not only the 156 audience members on that fateful day, to be witnesses to the targeted assassinations of Palestinian journalists. Today, many more journalists have been murdered by Israel, and many doctors have been rounded up and remain clinging to life in torture camps. Still in plain sight, the families of Gaza and the West Bank are being rounded up, terrorised, starved, killed and tortured, while the perpetrator is granted impunity by our government and its ‘greatest ally’. We must never stop speaking about this.’

Zionism is the most conniving, insidious force on the planet and it’s not even close.
Israel will destroy ANYONE and ANYTHING that gets in its way. Look at the date on this article. They’ve been planning this for months. How much more do people need to see??
Free speech on the line, with rogue commissioner.
“Special Envoy to Combat Antisemitism, Jillian Segal, told the Royal Commission her national antisemitism taskforce would expand in health sector and education down to pre-school.”
Segal proposes antisemitism taskforce for health sector, education down to preschool https://t.co/eMBTPY2xdU via @MichaelWestBiz
The Hurryya Center for Human Rights reported that Israeli occupation forces destroyed or damaged 97% of registered archaeological and cultural sites in the Gaza Strip since October 2023.
The center called on the United Nations, UNESCO, and the International Criminal Court to include these crimes in international investigations and hold Israeli officials accountable under international law.
Morocco’s ties to Israel aren’t new, they go back to 1965 when King Hassan II secretly recorded an Arab summit and handed the tapes to Israeli intelligence, shaping the outcome of the 1967 war.
My piece from a few months ago discusses how Morocco has had warm ties to Israel for decades.
