Content warning: Gaza & "Western" complicity, good article
From Martin Shaw in New Lines magazine.
"I may have missed something, but the major Western publications that have recently carried “genocide” editorials or prominent features have devoted virtually no space to the measures that governments should take against Israel to stop the genocide. It’s as though they are saying, “Yes, it’s a genocide, but what can we do about it?” ...
"How many have identified the arms flows from their countries to Israel? How many have reported on the deep political ties between their ruling political parties and Israel? Or have covered military collaboration, which in the case of Britain has helped the Israeli military to keep bombing civilians over 21 months, through surveillance flights over Gaza and extensive data sharing? ...
"Since even genocide-aware media are not reporting how Israel’s policies are made possible by wider Western support, they are also very weak in identifying policies that might break it. ...
"Today, genocide scholars, the serious press and even voters have interpreted Gaza as a genocide — but the point is to stop it. Until we do that, we are still in denial."

Comparing Netanyahu to Hitler, Israel to Nazi Germany, and the Israeli genocide of the Palestinian people to The Holocaust is wrong.
Hitler, Nazi Germany, and The Holocaust are a dead villain, a defunct fascist state, and a historic genocide.
Netanyahu, Israel, and the Israeli genocide of the Palestinian people are a living villain, an existing fascist state, and an ongoing genocide.

Israel killing journalists in Gaza again, and bombing another medical centre. I'm not a lawyer, but this looks to me like another war crime.
"Israel has bombed the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, killing Reuters photojournalist Hussam Al-Masri, Al Jazeera cameraman Mohammad Salama, Independent Arabia and Associated Press journalist Mariam Abu Daqqa, and NBC journalist Moaz Abu Taha. ...
"An Israeli suicide drone struck the roof and upper-floor of the hospital where journalists were holding a live broadcast. To make matters worse, Israel launched a "double tap" where it waited for rescuers to arrive and bombed them too, reportedly targeting a packed reception area. ...
"Just ask yourself which is more likely: that all of these news agencies keep mistakenly employing Hamas members, or that the country that has imposed a deliberate famine is trying to kill all the people who can report the truth?"

Dear Canadians supportive of #Palestine and against the ongoing #Genocide in Israel and the Humanitarian catastrophe that is ongoing.
There is a House of Commons e-Petition e-6751 currently open for signature.
It states:
Whereas:
Under Common Article 1 of the Geneva Conventions, Canada is required to respect international humanitarian law;
Under Article 59 of the Fourth Geneva Convention, Israel as an occupying power must allow and facilitate humanitarian aid by impartial organizations;
Canada’s own International Assistance Accountability Act requires that all Canadian foreign aid uphold human rights and international legal standards; and
Israel’s policy and actions violate all of these obligations.
We, the undersigned, Citizens and Residents of Canada, call upon the House of Commons in Parliament assembled to
1. Publicly and unequivocally reject the militarized aid model currently used in Palestine;
2. Request the full restoration of access for UN agencies and established humanitarian NGOs, including UNRWA and the World Food Programme;
3. Insist on safe and immediate entry for Canadian healthcare workers and other international humanitarian personnel to Palestine;
4. Withhold Canadian funding from any entity or model that does not comply with principles of neutrality, impartiality, independence, and humanity; and
5. Ensure that all Canadian aid to Gaza is delivered through internationally recognized humanitarian channels.

Dass es zu so brutalen Massenmorden kommen würde, hat er sicher nicht erwartet. Er hat jedoch seine Verantwortung aus politischen Gründen vernachlässigt und muss dafür zur Rechenschaft gezogen werden.

Content warning: thoughtful article on Jewish solidarity with Gaza
Appreciating these reflections from writer & organiser Simone Zimmerman.
"Standing at the action that day, I was heartened to witness the growing ranks of Jews standing against the horrors in Gaza. But the presence of these progressive Zionist groups also provided a painful reminder of their long absence. ...
"Jewish communities should ask themselves “What would you have done to stop the annihilation of the Jews of Europe?” and should do just that for Palestinians now. You are either for genocide or against it.
"... most of us—myself included—had our own painful confrontation with Zionism. We recall both the isolation of being cast out of the mainstream Jewish community and the sweetness of building new relationships of solidarity. I’m only here today because many people offered me an off-ramp. That’s why many in my position feel that it is our responsibility to engage—to exercise humility and grace as we sit with other Jews in their fear and shame, and invite them to take action with us."

"The plan would be modelled on the international administrations that oversaw East Timor and Kosovo's transitions to statehood. It would initially be based in Egypt, near Gaza's southern border, before entering Gaza once the Strip is stable, alongside a multinational force.”

The genocidal war criminals in the Israeli Government just double-tapped a hospital in order to kill journalists and first-responders in addition to the injured civilians and medical workers they killed with the first bombing run.
The ‘western world' frets about calling a spade a spade... and cowers at US and Israeli pressure to continue turning a blind eye and re-arming the genocidal army.

Also, is that fair to Germany?
Is Israeli-American-German genocide of the Palestinian people more precise?

"He went on to say that the phrase “Free Gaza” is “supportive of Palestine Action”, adding it was an offence “to express an opinion or belief that is supportive of a proscribed organisation, namely Palestine Action is an offence under section 12(1A) of the Terrorism Act”. The officer told her she had committed that offence."

Bob Vylan, Palestine Action etc - analysis from Archie Bland in Guardian
"It isn’t just that people are angry that the catastrophe in Gaza isn’t being given due attention: it is that their encounters with observable reality are being flatly denied. ...
"Those people have been told that Gaza protests are hate marches; they can see it’s not true. They have been told that US campus protesters are largely motivated by antisemitism; they can see it’s not true. They have been told that Palestine Action is a terrorist organisation because it spray painted military aircraft; they can see it’s not true. They have been repeatedly told, by Benjamin Netanyahu, that opposition to Israel’s war is antisemitic; they can see it’s not true. They have been told that the British government finds Israel’s actions “intolerable”; they can see it’s not true.
"Now they are being told that opposing the IDF is antisemitic, that the Glastonbury crowd is more virulent than the one at Nuremberg, and that direct action is a form of terrorism. They can see all that’s not true, either, and however far their view is from the front pages, they know that they are far from alone."

BBC bias on Palestine, letter from journalists
"We believe the refusal to broadcast the documentary ‘Gaza: Medics Under Fire’ is just one in a long line of agenda driven decisions. ...
"We are not asking the BBC to take a side. We are asking to be allowed to do our jobs in delivering facts transparently and with due context. ...
"As an organisation we have not offered any significant analysis of the UK government's involvement in the war on Palestinians. We have failed to report on weapons sales or their legal implications. These stories have instead been broken by the BBC’s competitors. ...
"In some instances staff have been accused of having an agenda because they have posted news articles critical of the Israeli government on their social media. By comparison, [Robbie] Gibb remains in an influential post with little transparency regarding his decisions despite his ideological leanings being well known. ...
"There is a gulf between the BBC’s coverage of what is happening in Gaza and the West Bank and what our audiences can see is happening via multiple credible sources including human rights organisations, staff at the UN and journalists on the ground. ...
"We believe the role of Robbie Gibb, both on the Board, and as part of the Editorial Standards Committee, is untenable. We call on the BBC to do better for our audiences and recommit to our values of impartiality, honesty and reporting without fear or favour."
