🇫🇷 French left-wing leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon called on France to terminate its trade agreement with Israel as leverage to force Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu into negotiations, while warning that a US-Israeli push to end the UN peacekeeping mission in Lebanon would leave Lebanese civilians exposed to the “brutes of the IDF.”
Mélenchon, the founder of La France Insoumise who has announced a fourth run for the French presidency in 2027, made the remarks as France found itself shut out of the US-brokered diplomacy reshaping the region.
The five stages of Zionist grief upon being confronted with diplomacy:
1: Shock
2: Meltdown
3: Entitlement
4: Sabotage
5: More war, genocide, apartheid, mass displacement, rape, and destruction

Apocalyptic scenes in Harouf, South Lebanon.
Israel dropped bombs on residential buildings in the middle of the night.
Entire families are now buried under the rubble.
In loving memory of the children in this video, cold-bloodedly murdered by Israel. They are among the approximately 22000 children Israel has slaughtered in about two year.
The government has just advised businesses not to trade with illegal Israeli settlements.
But with no consequences for businesses that refuse to comply, this is a cop out.
We need a complete ban on trade with illegal settlements, and sanctions targeting the illegal occupation.
Remember those horrific pictures of Jews liberated from Auschwitz?
This isn't one.
This is a Palestinian man released after 26 months of Israeli "administrative detention." No charge. No trial. No legal rights.
"Never again" sounds noble. It just turns out it was never meant to apply to everyone.
The Israeli government currently holds roughly 3,500 Palestinians under this system, and has issued more than 100,000 such detention orders since 1967.
October 7th wasn't the start of this. It was a reaction to it.
Why don't we hear anything about this?
Mayor Mamdani understands the distinction.
The State of Israel and the Jewish people are two distinct entities.
Israel is a political state; Judaism is a religion.
One does not represent the other.
“Solidarity with a government that is committing genocide is a very different thing than a question of solidarity with people of a specific faith.”
“I’m proud to be the mayor of the city with the largest Jewish population in this country.”
— Zohran Mamdani
President of Belarus:
“Why do we speak about the Holocaust suffered by Israelis while they themselves have killed so many people?”
“Gaza was simply wiped off the face of the Earth.”
“And now they are trying to build a resort on the very land where these people were killed?”
Every time I read about an attack on a Muslim place of worship, it is in a community press release on social media, & not in headlines across mainstream media.

This is why the Labour government wants to do away with juries - juries tend to avoid convicting citizens acting on conscience against those who arm genocide
BREAKING:
Israel is dropping bombs on civilian areas across multiple villages in South Lebanon — in the middle of the night.
Deliberately striking civilian homes while families are asleep.
Israel has already violated the “ceasefire” over 100 times in just a few days.
If you were to write this headline or article in a variety of US, UK, German or French media outlets, your career might be on the line and you’d probably be accused of antisemitism.
And yet the author of this piece is a former prime minister for Israel.

BREAKING: United Auto Workers today passed a resolution at its convention, 321-287, to divest from Israeli bonds.
With nearly 400,000 members, UAW becomes the largest US union to officially divest from Israel.
The vote received support from a range of sectors, including a large number of Michigan auto delegates, in addition to legal services and higher education.
The original call for divestment came from a wildcat strike of 2,000 mainly Arab American workers at Chrysler’s Dodge Main in 1973. Amid the genocide in Gaza, pro-Palestinian labor groups and UAW locals renewed and intensified their campaign.
Speakers motivated for the resolution by citing the union’s legacy of divesting from South African apartheid in 1978.
