US finds Israel’s use of weapons in Gaza ‘inconsistent’ with human rights law, but will not cut flow of arms | Biden administration | The Guardian
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/may/10/us-weapons-israel-human-rights-law
"State department also says not enough concrete evidence to link specific US-supplied weapons to violations "
Not enough evidence? FFS!
The bar for hospitals to lose protected status under international law is set very high. Those conditions were not met for any of the 36 hospitals in Gaza that Israel destroyed.
A testimony from Rafah.
"With limited internet, we read that the Al-Masawi neighbourhood — an area that has already been bombed countless times by the Israeli army — is our best bet for safety. It's a remote, barren area, with no infrastructure and no schools for us to shelter in. The Israeli army says it is a "safe humanitarian zone" but all we can hear are their drones lingering above."

Here's a contractor spray painting student protesters trying to protect their art wall at CWRU earlier this week. Insanity.

"After six year-old Hind Rajab was killed by the Israeli army, Britain’s national media failed to unequivocally pinpoint Israel as responsible,"
"The BBC scandalously reported the story as “Hind Rajab, 6, found dead in Gaza” while both the Observer and Sunday Times carried similar headlines, that she had somehow just “died”."
"We cannot afford to move on nor to look away and a journalism that does this is part of the problem."

‘Found dead in Gaza’? No, murdered by Israel
After six year-old Hind Rajab was killed by the Israeli army, Britain’s national media failed to unequivocally pinpoint Israel as responsible, refused to follow up the story and cover important new information, and then moved on.DES FREEDMAN (Declassified Media ltd)
The UN General Assembly is expected to vote overwhelmingly in favour of enhanced Palestinian membership of the United Nations.
And it could carry far-reaching consequences.
The draft text, co-sponsored by #Ireland among others, will recognise that #Palestine is qualified for full #UN membership and recommend that the Security Council reconsider the matter, after it was blocked by a US veto last month.

My gut feeling is that, despite it being propaganda, Prof. #MuhammadMirandi's (see post above) assessment of the weaponry employed in the recent mass attack of #Iran contains more than a grain of truth.

Three Things the Pro-Palestine Movement Is Not
Protest encampments have sprung up over the past few weeks on more than 100 college and university campuses across the country, and they have rightly drawn national attention to the pro-Palestinian…Counting Crowds
I'm probably stupid for not having thought of this earlier, but I just realised that boycotting the Eurovision Song Contest this year is very likely going to ensure that Israel wins.
The number of Zionists in each participating country is a clear minority within each country, but globally they amount to a large enough group that they may outnumber everyone else.
The Zionists have the advantage of only having one country to vote for, while anti-Zionists will have to distribute their votes across 36 different contestants.
Also, the Zionists are rallying behind Israel to vote while many anti-Zionists are boycotting and thus not voting at all. I've read several comments saying something along the lines of “I don't normally follow ESC, but this year I'll vote for Israel”.
If I vote, I'm not boycotting. If I boycott, I can't vote, risking an Israel win. I find this to be a huge dilemma.
What will you do?

500 Palestinian Bedouins became homeless overnight in Wadi al Khalil in the Negev desert as Israeli forces demolished their homes.
At least 50 homes owned by members of a Bedouin community in the Negev desert were torn down because they were branded as "illegal" by National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir.
Bulldozers razed buildings Wadi al-Khalil, triggering anger and frustration among residents of the village of some 500 people.

The octopus/kraken is one of the best known symbols in antisemitic propaganda.
If you‘d spent any thought or research on the possible role of #antisemitism as a motivation for your personal opinions (or protest!) you would have avoided to use this symbol.
So it is either an intentional dog whistle or a sign of your complete ignorance.

Your opinion is worthless at best because it has no foundation but itself - I hope.
If you feel that you are speaking in someone’s name or in support of someone you are just doing them a disservice - I hope.
That's how it should be done, Amsterdam 💪
Dublin students protests result in Trinity College cutting ties with Israeli companies.
Dialog, Amsterdam! Di-A-Log!No bashing. No wallowing in a misplaced sense of guilt, and no thinking of profit. Oh, and mind the Israeli tentacles.

I wish for EU to stop supporting the #genocide committed by #Israel in #Gaza.
I wish that Ursula V.d.L will be prosecuted for usurping power which did not belong to her, standing next to butcher Netanyahu, and supporting his #WarCrimes in our name.
I wish for #BDS action by #EU against the only #apartheid state in existence.
I wish for the 95.5 billion euro of Project Horizon to not fund Israeli Universities while #Educide is done in #Palestine.
If they don't care today, they will when they face higher prices because of trade sanctions, when they can't travel freely because of visa restrictions, when Israeli startups can't raise funds, when they lose hundreds of million in European research subsidies, when they can't participate in cultural, sporting, or academic events.
This conflict will only end when the cost of occupation outweighs its benefits for most Israelis.
Boycotts. Divestments. Sanctions.
Student protestors are portrayed as anywhere between naive and brainwashed. Now listen to this. Nothing naive here.

“For Biden, the only good Jews are Zionists – those who support Israel and its settler colonial project. But what about the rest of us? We Jews who reject a conflation of Judaism and Zionism? We Jews who say never again and mean never again for everyone? We Jews who are calling for a free Palestine and an end to Israel’s occupation?”

If money is speech, and corporations are people, then #UTAustin, through the #UTIMCO non-profit corporation that manages its endowment, should be allowed to divest from any investment vehicle it so chooses, regardless of what #abbott or any other #Texas lawmaker thinks to the contrary. I'd love to see that conundrum make its way to our present supreme court.

Hamzah Saadeh: How many Palestinians have you killed?
Israeli soldier: 20 … I don’t what is a “Palestinians”. I know Hamas. In Gaza there is not civilians. They’re all Hamas terrorists.
Hamzah Saadeh: So the 1 million kids in Gaza they’re all Hamas?
Israeli soldier: Yeah.
