Israël veut envahir la ville de Gaza, préambule à une occupation militaire de toute l’enclave

Les autorités israéliennes veulent vider la ville où survivent près d’un million de Palestiniens d’ici au 7 octobre. Nétanyahou a fait part de son souhait d’occuper militairement la bande de sans l’administrer. L’ONU demande à de «stopper immédiatement» ses plans.

This weekend, thousands of Communications Workers of America members will have a chance to vote on two urgent resolutions to end the union's complicity with Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

"[Growing up in an evangelical household in Texas,] I learned that Christian Zionists have little interest in actual, living Jewish people; they treat Jews as pawns on the way to Christians’ spiritual blessing or instrumental to the fulfillment of ancient prophetic texts. It took years to see this ideology for what it really was: supremacist and nationalist."

While one might argue about the social benefits of recognizing the Palestinian authority and an independent Palestinian state (something I agree with and support), the way it's been done and is being done shows that this is an act of aggression against Israel.

You don't say "I'll do this unless you do that." out of peace, you do it when you know your action poses a threat. The threat of recognizing Gaza as part of an independent state is that it creates a legal environment for it to be used just as Hamas did- as a heavily armed facility, a gun at Israel's head, just as the Arab states attempted to destroy Israel in 1967 and 1973, this will provide the staging ground for its destruction, and the Western countries know it.

Without security assurances, this may facilitate the death of half the world's Jews., and they know …

One day everyone in Israel will say that they were against the genocide of Palestinians that Israel is causing in Gaza. But it will be a lie. Some will say they didn't know. But it will be lie. Some will say they opposed it. But it will be a lie.

I hope to see the Israeli government and military leaders in Nuremberg like trials.

The images coming out of Gaza right now look like colourised photos of Auschwitz. Emaciated faces, desperation, fear, all the hallmarks of people being starved and abused by Nazis.

To think the people doing this are children, and grandchildren, of the survivors of Auschwitz makes this all the more sickening, and says exactly how grotesque Israel and Zionism are.

To hear the stories of Auschwitz from your own family and then think "I have to make this happen again" takes a special kind of monster

Gaza: la UE enfrenta la acusación de complicidad
https://lamatinaleuropea.substack.com/p/gaza-la-ue-enfrenta-la-acusacion

Por Guillaume Duval, exredactor de discursos del AR/VP Josep Borrell, consejero del Instituto Jacques Delors

La inacción de la Unión Europea frente al drama de Gaza se está volviendo insoportable. Lo que aún podía considerarse en 2024 "solo" como un gran error geopolítico se ha transformado claramente en los últimos meses en complicidad activa en un crimen contra la humanidad ...

This is what the government has been supporting for years now: the annihilation of people in , especially children.

I hope this image will haunt to his grave and beyond. To hell.

I also hope that one day the millions of good Americans out there will find the courage to rise and resist. And revolt.

The image tells a story for the future.
Our future.

Communiqué fort de la SDJ de l'AFP : "Depuis que l'agence a été fondée en août 1944, nous avons perdu des journalistes dans des conflits, nous avons eu des blessés et des prisonniers dans nos rangs, mais aucun de nous n’a le souvenir d'avoir vu un collaborateur mourir de faim." On en est là...

A F P Sans intervention immédiate les derniers reporters de Gaza vont mourir L'AFP travaille avec une pigiste texte, trois photographes et six pigistes vidéo dans la Bande de Gaza depuis le départ de ses journalistes staff courant 2024. Avec quelques autres, ils sont aujourd'hui les seuls a rapporter ce qu'il se passe dans la Bande de Gaza. La presse internationale est interdite d'entrer dans ce territoire depuis prés de deux ans. Nous refusons de les voir mourir. Depuis quelques jours, nous avons compris de leurs brefs messages que leur vie ne tenait plus a grand-chose et que leur courage, consacré depuis de longs mois informer le monde entier, ne les aidera pas a survivre. Nous risquons d'apprendre leur mort a tout moment et cela nous est insupportable. « Je souhaiterais que M. Macron puisse m'aider a sortr de cet enfer ». Ahlam se tient encore debout. « J'essaie de continuer a exercer mon métier, a porter la voix des gens, de documenter la Vérité face a toutes les tentatives pour la faire taire. Ici, résister n'est pas un choix : c'est une nécessité ». Depuis que AFP a été fondée en aout 1944, nous avons perdu des journalistes dans des confits, nous avons eu des blessés et des prisonniers dans nos rangs, mais aucun de nous n'a le souvenir d'avoir vu un collaborateur mourir de faim".

Anyone else remember when those speaking for the Irish republican paramilitaries were voiced by an actor? The organisations were banned, but their words were recorded by media and shared on airwaves. No one was arrested for talking to them, or mentioning their organisations name, or even discussing their very appalling violent actions. In today’s Britain, people are being arrested and charged as supporting terrorism for using two words in speech or on posters, when those words are not necessarily beside each other in specific order.
Can this ridiculous government see how stupid this is?
Do they not remember any history at all?
