Diana Buttu discusses the experience Palestinians are sharing of watching a genocide of their people play out on their mobile phones.
Palestinian resistance is a decolonial struggle against Israeli settler colonialism and U.S. imperialism. This resistance is also confronting the brutal nature of colonial modernity, which is exemplified in Zionism.
Iran bombed a spy center for the Mossad in Iraq’s Erbil, Yemen attacked a U.S. ship in the Red Sea, and a Palestinian car-ramming attack took place near Tel Aviv. Meanwhile, Gaza’s Health Ministry warned hospitals are running out of crucial supplies.
Despite proceedings at the International Court of Justice, Benjamin Netanyahu made clear Israel has no intention to relent in its genocidal attack on Gaza: “Nobody will stop us – not The Hague, not the axis of evil and not anybody else.”
As the confirmed death toll from Israel’s assault on Gaza reaches 24,000, the U.S. is reportedly “frustrated” Israel continues to ignore calls to limit its attacks. Hamas releases video of three Israeli captives, saying fate will be revealed today.
Israel supporters have had such kid-glove treatment for so long they have lost all sense of reality and proportion. But the New York Times is cosseting them.
We call on all Jews to reject the politics of Jewish exceptionalism and to hold our communities accountable for supporting and enabling Israel’s genocidal and wholly unjustifiable war.
Susan Muaddi Darraj’s communal story-telling weaves together the themes of the inheritance of exile between generations and the fragmentation of Palestinian lives across homeland and the diaspora.
As Israel’s assault on Gaza reaches 100 days, an estimated 100,000 Palestinians have been killed, injured, or are missing. Still Netanyahu declares: “No one will stop us; not The Hague, not the axis of evil and not anyone else calling the ICJ.”
A central claim by Israel’s advocates is that supporting Israel is in the U.S. interest. There can be no greater farce when our country has bombed another Arab country to support Israel’s genocide.
