“IF WE FAIL TO STOP THE SUFFERING OF PALESTINIAN CHILDREN, WE ARE FAILURES”

ICELAND’S FOREIGN MINISTER BREAKS DOWN IN TEARS OVER THE HORROR IN GAZA

[Mats Nilsson @mazzenilsson]

Albert Einstein and Hannah Arendt's 1948 letter to the New York Times: They saw the creation of a Jewish ethnostate in Palestine at the expense of its indigenous Muslim and Christian population as a profound injustice and moral catastrophe.

Einstein and the other signatories explicitly compared Begin’s Herut (Freedom Party), born from the Irgun, to Nazis and Fascists, warning that their ideology of racial superiority and violent ethnic nationalism posed a grave danger to the moral and political future of the new state.

Full text of Einstein and Hannah Arendt's letter to the New York Times:
TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEW YORK TIMES
December 2, 1948
Among the most disturbing political phenomena of our time is the emergence in the newly created State of Israel of the “Freedom Party” (Tnuat Haherut), a political party closely akin in its organization, methods, political philosophy, and social appeal to the Nazi and Fascist parties. It was formed out of the membership and following of the former Irgun Zvai Leumi, a terrorist, right-wing, chauvinist organization in Palestine.
The current visit of Menachem Begin, leader of this party, to the United States is obviously calculated to give the impression of American support for his party in the coming Israeli elections and to cement political ties with Zionist elements in the United States. Several Americans of national repute have lent their names to welcome his visit. It is inconceivable that those who oppose fascism throughout the world could condone, even by silence, the appearance of such a party in Israel.
Within the Jewish community they have preached an admixture of ultra-nationalism, religious mysticism, and racial superiority. Like other fascist parties, they have been used to break strikes, and they have encouraged demoralization among labor. In their actions they have been marked by cruelty and contempt for human life.
During the recent past, they have systematically terrorized the Arab population, attacked Jewish settlements, and sabotaged the rescue of displaced Jews from Europe.
A shocking example was their behavior in the Arab village of Deir Yassin. This village, off the main roads and surrounded by Jewish lands, had taken no part in the war and had even fought off Arab bands that wanted to use it as their base. On April 9 (1948), terrorist bands attacked this peaceful village, which was not a military objective in the fighting, killed most of its inhabitants — 240 men, women, and children — and kept a few of them alive to parade through the streets of Jerusalem.
Most of the Jewish community was horrified at the deed, and the Jewish Agency sent an apology to King Abdullah of Transjordan. But the terrorists, far from being ashamed of their act, were proud of it, widely publicized it, and invited foreign correspondents to view the corpses and the ravaged village.
The Deir Yassin incident exemplifies the character and actions of the Freedom Party. Within the Jewish community they have attempted to institute a reign of terror, have beaten up Jews who opposed them, and have, by gangster methods, terrorized the population.
It is inconceivable that those who oppose fascism throughout the world could condone, even by silence, the appearance of such a party in Israel.
The undersigned therefore take this means of publicly presenting a warning to the American people concerning a danger to be found in the Freedom Party in Israel, a danger to which the leadership of Menachem Begin gives the greatest emphasis.
(Signed):
Albert Einstein, Hannah Arendt, Sidney Hook, Rabbi Jessurun Cardozo, Irma Lindheim, and 22 other Jewish scholars, writers, and public figures.

Israel must be isolated by the world community to learn the lesson of South Africa. But that is not enough because Israel’s conduct exceeds SA’s by far. The international community should send in peacekeepers to protect people. Shame on the US for pussyfooting and pretension. Together they will subdue the Arab world if they have to kill everyone in it to do so.

Australians in the IDF are the war crimes question we can’t ignore.

If they’re part of alleged war crimes, shouldn’t the AFP investigate?

We asked these questions about Afghanistan and Syria. Why not Gaza?

I don't think it's fair for the government to change the tax rules for Australians and Australian small businesses but rule out changing the tax settings for major multinational companies from data centres to the gas industry.

Australians deserve a fair return.

Go to https://t.co/dcjuwV1Hkk and join the call for a 25% tax on gas exports.

Israel ARRESTED this 13 year old Palestinian girl.

According to the law just passed, she could now be executed “legally” in the prison.

Please don’t let them kill her. Repost this.

Terrifying reality check. Professor Sachs exposes the deeply rooted genocidal ideology driving Israel. He reveals that the extreme dehumanization and unbounded hatred for others is not just political but a terrifying societal mindset demanding total annihilation.

Aussies are being told this is not our war and that our role is only “defensive” by @AlboMP.

So why are SAS troops in the Middle East? You don’t deploy James Bond for admin and evacuation paperwork.

What exactly are they doing there?

Israel killed 3 Indonesian UN peacekeepers in South Lebanon.

They were wearing blue helmets.
They were in UN uniforms.
They were peacekeepers.

Israel bombed them anyway.

Not a peep in Western media.
Not a word from the international community.

Kick Israel out of the UN.

Never ever forget that @SenatorWong refused to meet Francesca Albanese @FranceskAlbs when she came to Australia to warn against an inpending genocide in Gaza.

Penny flew instead to Israel to have coffee with Herzog, the genocide enabler and @AlboMP later invited Herzog to Aust.

[Furkan Gözükara @FurkanGozukara]

Absolute panic in Tel Aviv. Thousands of Israelis are protesting the war, holding "Justice for Palestine" signs. The Zionist regime is so terrified of internal dissent that they are violently arresting their own citizens. The global narrative is completely collapsing.
