       @insights the #Netherlands hardly needs an excuse for bigotry… from collaboration with the #Nazis during WWII to Pim Fortuyn … there’s so much more we learn about the Dutch than events of the last couple of weeks, don’t you think?

       The Israeli Attorney General’s Office has sent approximately 9,500 requests since October 7 to Meta - which owns #Facebook and Instagram - as well as the video-sharing app #TikTok, to remove content related to #Israel’s brutal war in #Gaza, according to a recent report published by Forbes.Cc @Syphilia #IsraelHamasWar #SocialMedia

       Talking about the theater of the absurd... the only way Netanyahu can enjoy the company of a white-supremacist and an antisemite is if Netanyahu is not Jewish. In a conversation broadcast on X #Musk told #Netanyahu (!?!?) that "#Israel is doing everything to avoid killing civilians". Netanyahu told Musk that "#Hamas is a death cult". Netanyahu did not raise the issue of the rise in antisemitism on X or Musk's support for a tweet that Jews "promote hatred against whites".So.... Musk tells Netanyahu the exact same thing Netanyahu came up with to excuse the fact that 70% of the Palestinians killed are women and children, not Hamas combatants. https://kolektiva.social/@oatmeal/111482004311159766 Go figure.cc @junesim63

       Netanyahu: Don’t accuse me of boosting Hamas with Qatari money #Netanyahu sounds like he's expecting a Nobel Peace Prize any minute now...“We wanted to avoid a civilian humanitarian collapse — disease, rampant hunger and other things that would have created an impossible humanitarian situation,... [...] That’s why successive Israeli governments allowed this money to go in, not in order to strengthen #Hamas. We didn’t want to strengthen Hamas at all. We wanted to weaken it and degrade its capabilities as far as we could.”In 2019, he said this, though:“Anyone who wants to prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state needs to support strengthening Hamas.”https://www.politico.eu/article/benjamin-netanyahu-hamas-qatar-money-war-israel-gaza-palestine/@israel @palestine  #IsraelHamasWar

       It’d be ironic if it turns out #Hamas saved some of the hostages safe from Israeli air raids…Emily Hand’s father: They were held in a house in northern #Gaza, as the army advanced they were moved between houses under fireThomas Hand, the father of Irish-Israeli Emily Hand, who was released from Hamas this week, recounted that Emily and her friend Hila Shoshani Rothman were held above ground in a house in northern Gaza. In the "Uvda" program, Hand said that as the #IDF advanced, they were moved between houses in order to escape from it. According to him, they ran from house to house under fire.@israel @palestine #IsraelHamasWar

       Some context of this photo showing Yosef Weitz (center)  Transfer Committees (1937-48), also known as “Architect of Transfer, surveying land scheduled for purchase by the #JNF. Note the traces of a Palestinian standing behind one of the aids, hidden/erased?Odeh Bisharat: "I look at the photograph of Weitz, and Khazna’s image captures my imagination. He didn’t know Khazna. He wasn’t aware of the measure of love that her uncle, my grandfather, Khalil, bestowed on her. Standing up there, it’s doubtful whether Weitz felt the human warmth that welled up in the simple houses that stood across from him. It’s very doubtful that he ever listened to the stories of love, heroism, courage and generosity, whether he heard the songs that murmured and surged on this soil. Who knows. If he had listened, maybe he wouldn’t have decreed expulsion for Khazna and wouldn’t have demolished the village and prevented the return of its inhabitants and their descendants."https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2021-08-05/ty-article/.premium/what-yosef-weitz-didnt-see-while-visiting-the-palestinian-villages-he-would-destroy/0000017f-ef3f-d0f7-a9ff-efff841f0000@israel  @palestine  #Nakba

       Yosef Weitz: “The only solution is a Land of Israel devoid of Arabs. There is no room here for compromise. They all must be moved. Not one village can remain, and not one tribe. Only through this transfer of the Arabs living in the Land of Israel will redemption come.”

       #israel / be’eri my ass Like with the vitriol over rape victims during the Hamas attack on October 7th, indignation, for some Israeli, is a political tool https://kolektiva.social/@oatmeal/111551470621578004. The guy in this clip, claimed to be supporter of #Netanyahu, is shouting at family members of  hostages while gesturing a middle finger, saying he couldn’t care less about kibbutz Be’eri, where #Hamas terrorists killed 130 people and kidnapped other. Anywhere else in the world this would be considered a #hatecrime. In some Western countries he would’ve been arrested. https://nitter.net/lirishavit/status/1733559088292696230@israel @palestine #antisemitism #IsraelHamasWar

       #Israel used U.S.-supplied white phosphorus in Lebanon attack[…] Photos and videos verified by #Amnesty International and reviewed by The Post show the characteristic ribbons of white phosphorus smoke falling over #Dheira on Oct. 16.[…] Israeli forces possess safer alternatives, such as M150 artillery rounds, which produce screening smoke without the use of white phosphorous.[…] The United States is under an obligation to track the behavior of its partners and allies who receive its assistance in order to comply with U.S. law, humanitarian law experts said. The use of white phosphorus is restricted under such international law because fire and smoke can be spread to populated areas, according to rights groups.https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/2023/12/11/israel-us-white-phosphorus-lebanon/Use https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-firefox-clean for #Firefox to read article in full @israel #IsraelHamasWar#WarCrimes #WhitePhosporus

       #Israel-#Germany / [2023-10-26] ‘We are Germans, and we need to do this,’Kasem Raad, a 20-year-old apprentice at German media company Axel Springer, was fired after questioning the company's staunchly pro-Israel editorial stance both internally and in a YouTube video.Raad posted on an internal message board asking why Axel Springer supports Israel. He was reprimanded by managers and told "We are Germans, and we need to do this" regarding the company's Israel policy.After posting a video disputing parts of the Israeli military's narrative about a recent attack by Hamas, Raad was fired just weeks into his 3-year apprenticeship. The company cited no reason, but he says managers told him it was due to his questioning and video.His firing came amidst growing repression of critical voices on Israel in Germany. Other Arab and Palestinian journalists have been dismissed, and rights groups caution media companies against targeting such voices.    Axel Springer has a mission statement that supports Israel's right to exist. Raad feels they prioritized this over their other stated principles of freedom and democracy in his termination.https://theintercept.com/2023/10/26/axel-springer-fires-employee-israel/@israel  @palestine  #IsraelHamasWar #AxelSpringer

       @stevenroose What do you mean exactly?For me, it maintains, maybe not on purpose, the rhetoric of extermination, which maybe in German context, it's something they need to remind themselves constantly.Politically though I guess it comes from the rejection of the partition decision and Palestinians leadership, as well as Arabs, seeing Israel as an artificial creation, so it has no right to exist.But I don't know, maybe it's deeper than that. Chomsky commented that no country had such a right, and it's a demand put forward to make it an open question to fail Palestinian demands, since accepting it implies accepting their dispossession. ---- This concept “right to exist” was in fact invented, as far as I can tell, in the 1970s when there was general international agreement, including the Arab states and the PLO, that Israel should have the rights of every state in the international system. And therefore, in an effort to prevent negotiations and a diplomatic settlement, the U.S. and Israel insisted on raising the barrier to something that nobody’s going to accept. Certainly, the Palestinians can’t accept it. They’re not going to accept Israel’s existence but also the legitimacy of its existence and the legitimacy of their dispossession. Why should they accept that? Why should anyone accept it?https://chomsky.info/200506__/

       @stevenroose oh I see. That’s true but German complexes in this regards  are very difficult to understand if you’re not German I guess.
