“The era of Netanyahu may be nearing its end, but before this bloody political chapter closes, countless more Palestinians may be forced to bear the cost.
Arab and Muslim countries, along with their allies in the international community, must not wait for Israel to launch a much larger assault on the West Bank before responding.”

@palestine@lemmy.ml
@iran
“They told us it was about security. They lied. The proscription of #PalestineAction was not a sober counter‑terrorism decision; it was the outcome of a deliberate, well‑resourced campaign by Israeli‑aligned lobby networks, defence contractors and high‑profile advocates that bent UK policy to punish critics of Israel.
At the centre of that campaign stood Catherine Perez‑Shakdam and the lobby group We Believe In Israel, working with industry allies to amplify alarm, press ministers and shape media coverage”

“How Israel planned the Gaza genocide decades ago”
by Jonathan Cook on Substack
@palestine@fedibird.com
@Palestine@masto.ai
@palestine@lemmy.ml
@iran
“The events of 7 October 2023 look less like simple savagery and more like a desperate, last-roll-of-the-dice response to decades of Israeli atrocities designed to make conditions for Palestinians so miserable – through pauperisation, confinement, starvation, and murder – that they either flee their homeland or die in situ.
With the missing context added, Israel’s supposed ‘retaliation’ in Gaza – its genocidal rampage – looks like what it actually is: a continuation of its eight-decade ethnic cleansing campaign. In fact, its final instalment. Its denouement”
