ISRAELI MINISTERS ISSUE DEMAND TO END NEGOTIATIONS AND HUMANITARIAN AID TO GAZA
In a letter issued to the Israeli occupation's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, notorious Zionist, National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, slammed ongoing negotiations for a hostage release with Hamas, and called for an end to the passing of Humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip on Tuesday.
According to the occupation's media, the recently rescued hostage, Fernando Marman, told Israeli authorities that he never received any of his medications while in Hamas's captivity, even though this was supposed to happen as part of a previous hostage deal which called for Marman to receive them.
Despite a minimal American push to see talks with Hamas come to fruition in a hostage deal, Netanyahu remains under near constant pressure from his Zionist right-wing to reject any "irresponsible deal" that might see an end to Israel's offensives and bombing campaigns in the Gaza Strip that have now claimed more than 28'000 Palestinian civilian lives and wounded another 69'000.
After the Zionist media reported that Netanyahu had ordered his IOF hostage envoy Nitzan Alon, along with the Mossad's chief David Barnea and the Shin Bet leader, Ronen Bar, to represent the Israeli entity in Cairo, Israel's Finance Minister, Bezalel Smotrich said Monday that Israel's intelligence heads would be better used on the battlefield in Gaza.
Speaking of the Shin Bet leader, Smotrich said Ronen Bar should “be sent to Rafah together with his men and the IDF soldiers to destroy, kill and annihilate the heads of the murderers and all the Nazi Hamas terrorists."
Ben Gvir also put pressure on Netanyahu, telling an audience that he trusted Netanyahu would reject an “irresponsible deal, and that with God’s help, we will fight to the end.”
Previously, Minister Gvir told reporters he would leave the Netanyahu coalition if Israel's ongoing military offensive didn't "continue at full strength."
According to media reports, CIA director William Burns, alongside Mossad chief David Barnea and Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed Bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani are all to meet in Cairo for a meeting "to discuss a truce in Gaza."
The meeting is expected to be convened in order to craft a "final draft" of a 6-week ceasefire deal that would see guarantees for the continuation of negotiations to create a lasting and permanent ceasefire.
For its part, Hamas has proposed a ceasefire deal which calls for a four months-long truce which would include hostage swaps in three stages, along with a push for an Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip.
Netanyahu has responded by calling the proposed ceasefire deal "delusional" and argued that only military operations in the Gaza Strip will secure the release of Israeli hostages.

By Ilan Pappe, published 5th of November 2023.
On October 24, a statement by United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres caused a sharp reaction by Israel. While addressing the UN Security Council, the UN chief said that while he condemned in the strongest terms the massacre committed by Hamas on October 7, he wished to remind the world that it did not take place in a vacuum. He explained that one cannot dissociate 56 years of occupation from our engagement with the tragedy that unfolded on that day. The Israeli government was quick to condemn the statement. Israeli officials demanded Guterres’s resignation, claiming that he supported Hamas and justified the massacre it carried out. The Israeli media also jumped on the bandwagon, asserting among other things that the UN chief “has demonstrated a stunning degree of moral bankruptcy”. This reaction suggests that a new type of allegation of anti-Semitism may now be on the table. Until October 7, Israel had pushed for the definition of anti-Semitism to be expanded to include criticism of the Israeli state and questioning the moral basis of Zionism. Now, contextualising and historicising what is going on could also trigger an accusation of anti-Semitism.

Meet Zahwa Arafat, yes, she the daughter of Yasser Arafat, (born in Egypt 🇪🇬).
She is considered a Palestinian REFUGEE even though she was born in France 🇫🇷 and an owner of a multi-million (some say BILLION) dollar fortune from her father, who stole billions in aid money from the West.
She also owns a street in London, lives in Paris, and speaks 4 languages none of which is Arabic. She doesn't speak or understand Arabic.
Because she is a so-called refugee, she is entitled to money from UNRWA.
Her father as well as every Palestinian leader was taking care of his own. Not his people.
Palestinian leaders have incentives to keep their people poor. They have the incentive to make western societies believe Palestinians are poor and to keep the refugee community growing. This is their way to get rich.
The 3 main leaders of Hamas, who grew up poor, are now worth $11 billion. Imagine that!

i cant in good conscience write a post condemning the war in gaza while my israeli brothers and sisters are held hostage by terrorists organizations, and so shortly after so many were massacred. nor can i support the war in any way when our government is ran by people who should be in jail and are using this war to extend their time being free. i am torn between the hatred my people have been raised to subject unto others as others have subjected unto us, and avid empathy for those innocents caught under misguided bombs dropped by criminals on either side.
the college protests in america have given me something very profound to look at, as they are literally a miniature mirror of our situation here in the homeland. extremists on either side are fighting each other, both claiming to be the majority, while the real majority screaming for peace is suppressed under either an iron fist or a sense of justice leaning otherwise. however, the protests gave me something the war could not, which is finally a bridge to unity and good conduct and discussion;
Cops Fucking suck

israeli forces have arrested ahed tamimi in the occupied west bank based on false accusations
Tumblr media
the first time she got arrested, she was a teenager and it was because she punched a soldier after he shot her cousin. she was convicted and jailed like most palestinian children tried in israeli military courts. now she's been arrested again on the basis of false allegations.
in the beginning of the russia/ukraine war, her pictures and story were circulated, and people applauded her when they thought she was a ukrainian teen who had fought back against a russian soldier - when palestinians clarified the truth, most of the aforementioned people retracted their support. such double standards. israelis posted the bottom right picture as a 'victory' - clearly, israel's idea of victory is terrorizing civilians in their homes, from the occupied west bank to gaza.

NYT OPINION: Israel Is Falling Into an Abyss | David Grossman
[Art by Dror Cohen; excerpts chosen & emphasis added by me]
The renowned kabbalah scholar Gershom Scholem coined a saying: “All the blood flows to the wound.” Nearly five months after the massacre, that is how Israel feels. The fear, the shock, the fury, the grief and humiliation and vengefulness, the mental energies of an entire nation — all of those have not stopped flowing to that wound, to the abyss into which we are still falling.
[...]
But Israelis of my generation, who have been through many wars, are already asking, as we always do after a war: Why does this unity only emerge in times of crisis? Why is it that only threats and dangers make us cohesive and bring out the best in us, and also extricate us from our strange attraction to self-destruction — to destroying our own home?
These questions provoke a painful insight: The profound despair felt by most Israelis after the massacre might be the result of the Jewish condition into which we have once again been thrown. It is the condition of a persecuted, unprotected nation. A nation that, despite its enormous accomplishments in so many realms, is still, deep down inside, a nation of refugees, permeated with the prospect of being uprooted even after almost 76 years of sovereignty. Today it is clearer than ever that we will always have to stand guard over this penetrable, fragile home. What has also been clarified is how deeply rooted the hatred of this nation is.
Another thought follows, about these two tortured peoples: The trauma of becoming refugees is fundamental and primal for both Israelis and Palestinians, and yet neither side is capable of viewing the other’s tragedy with a shred of understanding — not to mention compassion.
[...]
Who will we be — Israelis and Palestinians — when this long, cruel war comes to an end? Not only will the memory of the atrocities inflicted on each other stand between us for many years, but also, as is clear to us all, as soon as Hamas gets the chance, it will swiftly implement the goal clearly stated in its original charter: namely, the religious duty to destroy Israel.
How, then, can we sign a peace treaty with such an enemy?
And yet what choice do we have?
The Palestinians will hold their own reckoning. I as an Israeli ask what sort of people we will be when the war ends. Where will we direct our guilt — if we are courageous enough to feel it — for what we have inflicted upon innocent Palestinians? For the thousands of children we have killed. For the families we have destroyed.
And how will we learn, so that we are never again surprised, to live a full life on the knife’s edge? But how many want to live their lives and raise their children on this knife’s edge? And what price will we pay for living in constant watchfulness and suspicion, in perpetual fear? Who among us will decide that he does not want to — or cannot — live the life of an eternal soldier, a Spartan?
Who will stay here in Israel, and will those who remain be the most extreme, the most fanatically religious, nationalistic, racist? Are we doomed to watch, paralyzed, as the bold, creative, unique Israeliness is gradually absorbed into the tragic wound of Judaism?
These questions will likely accompany Israel for years. There is, however, the possibility that a radically different reality will rise up to contend with them. Perhaps the recognition that this war cannot be won and, furthermore, that we cannot sustain the occupation indefinitely, will force both sides to accept a two-state solution, which, despite its drawbacks and risks (first and foremost, that Hamas will take over Palestine in a democratic election), is still the only feasible one?
This is also the time for those states that can exert influence over the two sides to use that influence. This is not the time for petty politics and cynical diplomacy. This is a rare moment when a shock wave like the one we experienced on Oct. 7 has the power to reshape reality. Do the countries with a stake in the conflict not see that Israelis and Palestinians are no longer capable of saving themselves?
The coming months will determine the fate of two peoples. We will find out if the conflict that extends back more than a century is ripe for a reasonable, moral, human resolution.
How tragic that this will occur — if indeed it does — not from hope and enthusiasm but from exhaustion and despair. Then again, that is the state of mind that often leads enemies to reconcile, and today it is all we can hope for. And so we shall make do with it. It seems we had to go through hell itself in order to get to the place from which one can see, on an exceptionally bright day, the distant edge of heaven.

The US Congress just passed this insanity but because they didn't also veto the measly 2 week long ceasefire at the UN, Netanyahu has pulled the Israeli delegation from Washington. The level of entitlement Israel has and the US continues to allow is truly sickening.

the leftist sphere online and its insistence that nuance is critical while it completely waives it and transforms major issues into black-and-white is so….
#thinking of israel. the left (online) is so highly reactionary it’s absurd. the only thing that isn’t complicated is israel’s#documented war crimes against people within the near & middle east- particularly palestine of course#the military occupation isn’t complicated- though look even somewhat closely at any strain of its existence and that is complicated. heavil#leftism online with infographics and people “watching people learn and never learning themselves” is so frustrating#i am tired of people doing pop-research claiming to be authorities. you’re not on the ground. you have time in abundance.#do the hard work of giving justice to the stories of palestinians jews and yes even israelis since there#is a well-documented culture of revolt against the alt-right gov by its citizens- born and immigrated.#there’s so so much and so so much gets dismissed. if we were all on the ground this wouldn’t be an issue- but seriously.#we’re not. we only have time and conversation. and all of that is disregarded for easy reactionary targets#*this wouldn’t be an issue as in we would obviously have no ‘free time’ to divvy on research#i expect nothing from palestinian journalists and civilians but to do what they can even if that’s so bare as survive#it’s a hope rather than expectation#but if you’re in the west (if you’re reading this ik pretty much everyone following me is) you have an abundance of time to#remember nuance and history is real btw and especially that the history of jews and palestine pre-1948 is extremely intertwined#my one brief statement is you’re not decolonial if you want palestine to be drawn back to 1948. that’s quite the opposite really.#look into it man

The Balfour Declaration
My analysis of the declaration basically points to:
• the admission that Palestine is a country via the inference "in any other country"
• the admission of existing non-jewish communities, thereby refuting the "land with no..." claim of Terra Nullius used by Zionists
• the right of Palestinians to not be harassed by the Israeli transplants
• the limitations of the framework by the UK
These are not negligeable points. What's clear is that the actions of Israelis are unconstitutional as well as illegal under international law.

I read this article from November 13, 2023 about a week ago, but I really need to emphasize to a lot of you who are on the fence about Israeli hostilities just how much of an apartheid state/occupying power Israel is.
