Remembering the ethnic cleansing, massacres and Zionist terrorism that lead to the creation of #Israel which remains to this day a pariah state and a plague on the Middle East and the world.
"Any objective observer knows Israel has broken international law, it has broken #American law, and, in my view, Israel should not be receiving another nickel in #US military aid," #Sanders said.
Sayyed Nasrallah to Israelis: To return North, end war on Gaza
"Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah affirmed that the Lebanese front continues...its operations in support of the Resistance in the Gaza Strip and imposes its own rules of engagement"
"...there is no solution for the Northern front without a ceasefire in Gaza"
He also pointed out that "Netanyahu wants to invade Rafah to escape the image of defeat."
"As Palestinians reckon with the genocide being inflicted on them and their prospects for national liberation, it does them a disservice to flatten their political diversity and complex ongoing debates."
This podcast is good at making #history easier to digest, if you're interested--
Up this week is Zionism, Zionist #propaganda, Balfour, the guy chosen to mess up Palestine, who had previously wreaked havoc in Ireland and denied entry to Jews fleeing the holocaust who were hoping to find refuge in the UK. And Herzl &more stuff.
"“We are horrified at details emerging from mass graves recently unearthed in the #Gaza Strip. Over 390 bodies have been discovered at Nasser and Al Shifa #hospitals, including of #women and #children, with many reportedly showing signs of #torture and summary executions, and potential instances of people buried alive,” the experts said.
"the direct bombardment of #hospitals & deliberate denial of access to #health care facilities by #Israeli snipers... placing an estimated 50,000 pregnant #Palestinian#women & 20,000 new-born babies at unimaginable risk. Over 183 women per day are giving birth w/out pain relief, while hundreds of #babies have died because of a lack of electricity to power incubators... increases in miscarriages by up to 300%. 95% of pregnant & breastfeeding women face severe #food poverty”

Students protesting for #Palestinian liberation have also referenced the legacy of student resistance and state crackdowns at inflection points throughout American history.

"Progressive lawmakers this week compared recent police crackdowns on student anti-war demonstrations to the deadly response to anti-Vietnam War campus protests over 50 years ago, warning the Biden administration not to repeat history.
"In a social media post Saturday, Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.) marked the 54th anniversary of the Kent State shootings, when the Ohio National Guard shot and killed four students and injured nine others at an anti-Vietnam War protest. In her post, she compared the historic tragedy to the recent wave of police crackdowns on campuses across the country.
"'On the 54th anniversary of the #KentStateMassacre, students across our country are being brutalized for standing up to #EndlessWar,' Bush wrote. “Our country must learn to actually uphold the rights of #FreeSpeech & assembly upon which it was founded.”
"In a similar post, Rep. #IlhanOmar (D-Minn.) wrote: “54 years ago, the Ohio National Guard opened fire on unarmed students at Kent State. Students have a right to speak out, organize, and protest systemic wrongs. We can’t silence those expressing dissent, no matter how uncomfortable their protests may be to those in power.'"
(I was around for the news during years of violence in the South African #apartheid: #Israel is worse now that S.A. ever was.)

Leading #Gaza doctor dies in jail four months after being detained
The #Israel prison service gave no cause of death when they announced a prisoner had died in Ofer prison, in the #OccupiedWestBank, in a statement issued on April 19.
But two #Palestinian prisoner associations claimed Al-Bursh’s death was an assassination.
In a joint statement released on Thursday, they said his body remained in Israeli custody.

How Counterprotesters at #UCLA Provoked Violence, Unchecked For Hours
The #NYT used videos filmed by journalists, witnesses and protesters to analyze hours of clashes — and a delayed police response — at a pro-#Palestinian encampment on Tuesday.
Among many things, use of the word “#Zionist” sets off alarms for the many different people who hear it. Is it pure #antisemitism? Or is it an attack on the Israeli govt, whose snr leaders have expressed concern that the #ICC will issue arrest warrants for them? Is it an assault on the right of #Israel to exist? Or is it a demand that it not continue to exist w/in its current contours & constructs w/the #Palestinian people?
Είδε όλος ο πλανήτης τον βομβαρδισμό του νοσοκομείου #alahlihospital. Όλος ο κόσμος ξέρει ότι το έγκλημα έγινε από τους σιωνιστές. Όποιος ακόμα έχει αμφιβολίες ας δει το διαρκές έγκλημα που διαπράττουν ενάντια στις δομές και το προσωπικό υγείας της Παλαιστίνης και θα καταλάβει. https://todon.nl/@prolrage/110343085189751504
