Ta-Nehisi Coates speaking with Peter Beinart about his time visiting the Occupied West Bank:
“Israel is not a democracy. I thought I was gonna go over there and see some really morally complex stuff, but I didn’t. I mean, it was so obviously immoral. It’s blatantly immoral.”
"There's something dark here beyond Israel itself that I think is really, really hard to face."

"Israel’s parliament has voted to ban a nearly eight-decade-old United Nations agency that provides essential services for Palestinian refugees, a move that could have devastating consequences for millions of Palestinians living under Israeli occupation."
Monday’s vote by the Israeli Knesset banning the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) contradicts principles of the UN Charter, violates #Israel’s obligations under international law, and sets a dangerous precedent, the head of the Agency, Philippe #Lazzarini has warned. The UN chief pledged later he would take the issue to the General Assembly.

"We are deeply concerned by Netflix’s decision to delete at least 19 films by Palestinian filmmakers or about Palestinian stories from your platform last week — on October 13th and October 14th."
“ 'If the Democrats want the vote of Indian people, we want them to stand with us, not only on issues like the apology around boarding schools, but we also want them to stand with us in the solidarity that we have calling for a #ceasefire in #Palestine,' says #NickTilsen, founder and CEO of the #Indigenous-led #NDNCollective."
In the swing state of Arizona, President Biden formally apologized Friday for U.S. government-run Native American boarding schools, which sought to exterminate Indigenous culture by forcibly removing children from their families and placing them in i…
While South African legal researchers were in an undisclosed location last week, racing against time to finalise hundreds of pages of evidence proving Israel’s intent to commit genocide in Gaza, in Israel, leaders gathering near the Gaza border were calling for the besieged and bombarded Strip to be emptied of Palestinians.
Monday (October 28) is the deadline for South Africa to submit a detailed memorial against Israel to the ICJ.
Israel could kill everyone left in Northern Gaza if its assault on the enclave continues, a United Nations relief official warned on Saturday.
U.N. Acting Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator Joyce Msuya also called for an end to the Israeli attack.
“What Israeli forces are doing in besieged North Gaza cannot be allowed to continue,” Msuya said.
The #unitedkingdom military won’t have to be the commandants of Israel’s new concentration camps for #Gaza because private #UK military contractors — who will be accountable to no one but their shareholders — will run the private prisons.
More than 100 Arizona Palestinian, Arab, Muslim, and progressive Democrats and community leaders have signed a letter making the case for those reluctant to support Kamala Harris against Donald Trump.
An Indonesian peacekeeper stationed inside the UNIFIL watchtower in Naqoura, South Lebanon, provided a first-hand account of the moment an Israeli Merkava tank launched a projectile targeting the UN peacekeepers who were in intensive care for three days following the attack.
United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned that any attacks against peacekeepers may constitute a war crime.

“Two children died at the last functioning hospital in Gaza after Israeli fire hit oxygen equipment, Gaza’s health ministry said on Friday.
"Two children have died in the intensive care unit after the hospital's generators failed and the oxygen station was targeted," the statement by Gaza's health ministry reads.“
Sometimes it's hard to post something uplifting in the face of all the world horrors. My little allotment mate never fails to lift my spirits. #allotments #foxes #biodiversityCrisis #Climate #palestine
In 2008, Israeli colonel Gabriel Siboni said that militancy coming from Lebanon, Syria and Gaza should be met with "disproportionate strikes" and that the goal should be to inflict lasting damage, no matter the civilian consequences, as a future deterrent, and that targeting rocket launchers and the source for other attacks are a secondary priority. Also in 2008, IOF commander Gadi Eisenkot commented on these regions saying “from our perspective, these are military bases”
They've called all Arabs animals, expressed how they view the entire population in these countries as terrorists, and view the countries themselves as military bases with zero regard for civilian lives. How can they care about civilian lives when they don’t even see us as human? They have been burning people alive in hospitals still tethered to their IV’s, burying people alive, bombing countless hospitals, attacking orphanages and refugee camps. They've completely leveled countless residential buildings. Mosques. Churches. Schools. Muslim neighborhoods. Christian villages. They've targeted children, medics, firefighters, people distributing food and aid, journalists, peace keepers. They target escape routes for forcibly displaced people so people are trapped with nowhere to go. Their evil has no mercy, and evidently no limits.
Israel continues to insist that they’re only targeting Hamas and Hezb targets while also making their plans for a greater Israel even more obvious than a decade or two ago. They’re openly stating what their plans and intentions are, they are often honest and upfront about their colonization and ethnic cleansing, but that doesn’t matter. The Dahiyeh Doctrine? All of Lebanon is being attacked. No demographic is spared. Ethnicity, religion, party affiliation? It doesn’t matter. We saw this play out first in Palestine and now the same thing in Lebanon.
Meanwhile western media is still reporting that it’s only (“only”) southern Lebanon being attacked to minimize Israel’s destruction and murder. They call hospitals with zero party affiliations “hezbollah hospitals” or “Hamas hospitals” to justify them being bombed, regardless of the fact that it’s still inhumane to bomb a hospital- no matter its religious or political affiliations. They’re still demonizing Arabs to justify genocide. They’re still underreporting massacres and deaths. There’s still no mention of the manufactured starvation, lack of aid, clean water, medical supplies. Syria is still getting bombed in the shadows as if nothing is even happening.
At this point there is no reality in which those in power don't see it for what it is. There is no reality in which the media doesn’t see and know the truth. Every single one of these massacres has been live streamed for the world to see. There are no excuses. Just a lot of people with blood on their hands. There will come a day when each and every one of them will have to answer for this and I hope I’m alive to see it. May each and every one of them forever be haunted by each persons screams as their bodies were buried under rubble.
„A pro-settlement Israeli group and some Israeli lawmakers gathered a couple miles from northern Gaza’s blasted neighborhoods to rally around settling Gaza.“
Doctors and medical officials at northern Gaza’s Kamal Adwan Hospital warn of a disaster unfolding as Israeli forces continue to intensify their siege and bombing campaign in the northern strip.
Doctors Without Borders surgeon Dr Mohammad Obeid said on Tuesday that there is “death in all types and forms” across the hospitals and that Kamal Adwan Hospital is under fire.
Another doctor at Kamal Adwan said the situation has become “disastrous.”
„The head of UN Palestine refugee agency UNRWA appealed on Tuesday for an immediate truce in northern Gaza in a social media post describing how “three weeks of non-stop bombardments” by Israeli forces have impacted the region.“
Activists in South Africa recently upended a high-profile "peace" conference over its agenda of obscuring Israeli apartheid, colonization, and the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

Musk-funded group targets Muslims & Jews with opposite messages: - In areas of Michigan with large Muslim populations, the SuperPAC is paints Harris as a close friend of Israel and is suggests she is beholden to the beliefs of her Jewish husband - In parts of Pennsylvania with large Jewish populations, the ads call Harris antisemitic & say she “support[s] denying Israel the weapons needed to defeat the Hamas terrorists who massacred thousands.”
This bag was arrested trying to sneak into the National Gallery, London. Must be a terrorist!!
A small pathetic incident this past week -- and 'pathetic' is the right word for the #genocide #complicity permeating our lives. This was nothing like the #police raid on Electronic Intifada (#Palestine's #weapon of #Mass #Instruction) and oh orders of magnitude less and less than what's being done to people in Palestine and #Lebanon now...

I went with a friend over from the US to visit the National Gallery. When we went through bag check, quite extraordinarily the bag security personnel (doubtless under orders) told me I could not carry a bag with a 'Free Palestine' badge. Unbelieving I stood there and started to raise my voice on such willingness by a national institution to side with genocide! I continued to yell, bewildered. So were the bag check guys, wondering what to do with me. They were indicating 'just cover it up' which was appalling enough. Because of my friend, I slipped in.
But the whole of my bag was crying PALESTINE WILL BE FREE anyway (beautiful design by Peckham Keffiyeh, Green and Black Cross)!
"It was a few minutes past 1 a.m. on Oct. 14 when an Israeli warplane launched an airstrike into the courtyard of Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir Al-Balah, where hundreds of displaced Palestinian families were sleeping in their tents. The attack set off a fire that quickly spread throughout the courtyard, consuming 40 tents in total" These are the details of that horrific attack.
The IDF reported that moments ago, a Palestinian man attempted an attack by ramming his vehicle into a police vehicle at the entrance to the community of Ofra. He was neutralized. No IDF injuries were reported.
“If Israel is suspended from the U.N. General Assembly, we will move to limit American participation and funding across the U.N., including U.N. Programmes, Funds, and Other Entities and Bodies, as well as its Specialized Agencies and Related Organizations, both those in which the PLO participates and generally,” Cruz writes in the letter.
Cruz: ‘The effort to diplomatically isolate Israel is aimed at ultimately destroying the Jewish state, which is both obscene and antithetical to American national security interests’
BREAKING: Elon Musk-backed PAC is micro-targeting muslim areas with ads saying Harris stands with Israel and targeting jewish areas saying the opposite.
Proof that Musk is willing to further divide #America if he thinks it will help his candidate win.
