Just here to educate myself a bit

[Omar Sakr @omarsakrpoet]

In response to hundreds of public servants calling on our government to be decent human beings and abide by international law, the NSW Premier’s office sent this message around saying their core values require them to be “impartial and apolitical”. And yet…

[Antony Loewenstein @antloewenstein]

Suddenly the Western elites realise that decades of indulging #Israeli extremism leads to a Jewish state that ignores any and all suggestions (while still arming them to the teeth)?
Please, spare us the faux outrage. This is on you, Western “powers”:

"Despite Israel’s war on Gaza being perhaps the deadliest war for children in modern history, only 2 headlines out of over 1,100 in the study (of the biggest US mainstream news outlets' coverage) mention Gaza's children."

Aside from the US, the countries that voted against a ceasefire during the UN General Assembly this month represent less than 0.7% of the world population.

BREAKING Wednesday 20 December 2023

Activists block entrance of The Age headquarters dressed in press vests and helmets to protest the Australian media silence on journalist deaths in Gaza

This absolutely needs more attention. So many complicit across the supply chain. Apple makes anywhere between 45-120% markup on its phones. That children are dying in mine collapses while digging for heterogenite with rebar is appalling (among many, many other crimes).

My friend Prof Peter Slezak, son of Holocaust survivors — his mother & grandmother survived Auschwitz — was assaulted by a coward who called him a ‘self-hating f**king Jew’ in Sydney. This is the rise of antisemitism that apartheid shills aren’t mentioning

[gathara @gathara]

A reminder that at the height of the 1994 Rwanda genocide, the US opposed any international action to stop it, refused to label it "genocide", and instead promised humanitarian supplies. We've been down this road before.

[Amanda Gelender🔮 @agelender]

As a Jewish kid I was taught that Israel is a small, defenseless, fledgling nation that everyone wants to attack just because it’s Jewish.

Reality: Israel is a vital colony in the US military empire, receiving billions of dollars annually to support its ongoing imperial genocide

The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights has just accused Israel of war crimes, including collective punishment, forcible evacuations, attacks on medical facilities and personnel, as well as violating the obligation of an occupying power to ensure access to basic necessities.

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

The BBC confirms that Israeli forces have bombed "safety" zones in south Gaza where they told Palestinians to evacuate to. Not once or twice. Repeatedly.

Independent human rights experts:

“We remain convinced that the Palestinian people are at grave risk of genocide.

The time for action is now.

Israel’s allies also bear responsibility and must act now to prevent its disastrous course of action.”

Biden hugs Netanyahu on the tarmac in front of cameras, while the latter has been carrying out war crimes at the helm of the most right-wing government in Israel's history. Whatever shred of moral authority Western governments claim for themselves is quickly deteriorating.

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

The claim that Israel is imposing collective punishment on Gaza is not a fringe opinion. The Israeli government itself is using this logic to justify its actions. President Herzog openly asserted “It is an entire nation that is responsible."

Collective punishment is a war crime.
