@citrinowicz Another Key date is 2055.
The time all Germans that were 15 or older in 1945 will have died.
Germany being the main veto for EU action against Israel, a
Massive cultural shift will happen in EU action toward Israel.
CNN: “Israel’s favorability all negative — not just with Dems, the general electorate has turned against Israel… not just a left issue, an American issue… a SIXTY-SEVEN POINT SHIFT AGAINST ISRAEL…”

Israel’s Culture Minister Miki Zohar said Sunday he will work to revoke the citizenship of Oscar-winning filmmakers Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor after their documentary “NAZA” won the Special Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival.
The film examines what it describes as Israel’s “calculated mass killing” of Palestinian civilians in Gaza and features testimony from IDF intelligence officers and soldiers.
Zohar called the film “vile” and said it “constitutes treason.”

Funny I thought it was British aircraft that shot down Iranian missiles aimed at Israel. Security co-operation runs both ways. Gratitude obviously doesn’t
It’s never been clearer: illegal Israeli settlements on Palestinian land are a significant obstacle to peace.
There can be no two-state solution if there is no viable state left to call Palestine.
That’s why the UK Government is right to take strong action and impose a ban on trade in goods from these settlements.
With plans for more illegal settlements - and settlers currently inflicting terrible violence against Palestinians on a daily basis with impunity - it’s heartening to see the international community joining the UK in taking a stand and applying more pressure on Israel to recognise and respect the rights of Palestinians.
The @LemkinInstitute strongly condemns the recent inhumane statements of Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, in which he called for the deliberate killing of “30 to 40” Palestinians every night in Gaza, even if they pose no immediate danger, because, according to him, “[t]here are people there who are not worthy of life. They shouldn’t live. They’re not even people.” We will be very clear: This statement, which has garnered some outrage in Europe, is an unambiguous declaration of genocidal intent and incitement to genocide.
Although Ben-Gvir’s provocative language ruffles some feathers in Israel, largely because he so plainly and crudely states to the world what is driving that nation in its war against the Palestinian people, he is nothing but the ugly, self-congratulatory face of a genocidal state and society.
Minister Ben-Gvir must be held legally responsible for his violations of the Genocide Convention. But that is not enough. As humanity has been saying for years now, mere condemnations of Israel and its leaders will not work. Symbolic sanctions will not work. Denouncing the inhumane is not enough when one has allowed the inhumane to become the reality for an entire group of people.
The international community has failed miserably to prevent this genocide or even stem its determined advance. But we can still stop the killing and mitigate the horrors. We can still save mothers and fathers, daughters and sons, brothers and sisters. As Dag Hammarskjöld, second Secretary-General of the United Nations reminded us: “The United Nations was not created in order to bring us to heaven, but in order to save us from hell.” This hell needs to come to an end.

For decades, B’Tselem has documented violence, demolitions, displacement and the dispossession of Palestinians from their land in the West Bank.
Raj’in (“We Shall Return”) brings this documentation work into a new medium.
Co-created by Faiz Abu Rmeleh and Keren Manor and co-produced by B’Tselem and NowHere Media, the film, which is currently being screened as part of the Venice International Film Festival, was shot with 360° cameras and also incorporates footage filmed by Palestinian residents and protective presence activists. Through virtual reality, it places viewers inside the spaces where Palestinian shepherding communities in the West Bank face Israeli violence, demolitions and displacement from their land.
Since October 2023, 65 Palestinian communities have been entirely forcibly displaced, while another 18 have been partially displaced. More than 4,861 people have been driven from their homes and land, including at least 2,315 children.
@Yaron_Ramati@RackMada@Nadav_Eyal I suspect it happens upstream of review.
ERC grants are collaborative. You need several labs from different countries who decide to form a project together.
Labs cannot be forced to collaborate with people who believe God allowed them ethnic cleansing
@RackMada The best current trajectory I see for Israel is like Serbia in the 90s, a country so overwhelmed by ethnoracial hate that NATO had to intervene...
and 30 years later they still dwell on the ethnoracial hate
@RackMada As a European who lost 3 family members in concentration camps, I am absolutely shocked that we keep sending money to Israel, a country founded on ethnoreligious purity concepts, that HATES Europe and Europeans, and who called for the death of the European Union repeatedly.
After our trip to the Gaza-Egypt border last year, @SenJeffMerkley & I released a report entitled, "The Netanyahu Government is Implementing a Plan to Ethnically Cleanse Gaza of Palestinians."
Now the Israeli Min of Defense confirmed that's the goal.
We must end our complicity.

82% of Jewish Israelis support expelling Gazans, which is Ben Gvir's #1 campaign promise.
So why is Ben-Gvir considered to be "far-right" when his message enjoys overwhelming support among Jewish Israelis?
Israeli officials casually discuss ethnic cleansing, speaking of Palestinians as a “surplus population” to be removed—as though the only question is where to send them.
This is blatant racism. And the world is not merely watching; it is actively facilitating it.
According to the report from France 24:
“Israel has plans ready to remove Palestinians from the Gaza Strip but is waiting for the United States to figure out where to take them, the Israeli defence minister said Wednesday.
"There is no real solution for Gaza in the end without this migration,"
The Israeli government "is organised and prepared to get them out – by sea, by air, by every way possible", he said.
