From Vox: "Under the potential deal ... Saudi Arabia would agree to formally recognize and establish diplomatic relations with Israel, Israel would take meaningful steps toward a Palestinian state, and the U.S. would grant security guarantees to Saudi Arabia."

  • Israel is not interested in taking the hostages back for humanitarian reasons.
  • Israel is using the hostages only for politics and only when it fits them.
  • Hostages have been targeted killed by IDF, even if it was clear that the hostages have been Israeli.
  • Hostages have reported having been treated quite well by Hamas.

Well, after 60-70 years it lead to the Balfour Declaration, which had already profound impact, but additionally Jews and Palestinians got contradicting promises about land.

Anyway, no matter how bad people or communities have been treated in history, it doesn't justify what is happening today. All the conventions and laws are not worth the paper they are written on, if historical reasons or aspects are accepted to override the laws.

The opression of Palestinians is getting already historical dimension too, but the difference to the history of Jews is that the bad things for Jews never happened with involvement of Palestinians, but anywhere else on the world. Palestinians seem to be punished for all the atrocities Jews had to experience anywhere else.

/ Palestinian NGO Challenges Israel's Commitment to ICJ Ruling on Incitement

The Center, a Palestinian rights organization, has demanded that Israeli law enforcement authorities investigate statements made by public officials that are suspected of inciting the destruction of a people, as defined under Israeli law. This request comes more than two months after the International Court of Justice () ordered Israel to take measures to prevent incitement to genocide against Palestinians in Gaza and punish those responsible.

Adalah's request includes over 500 examples of inciting statements made by high-ranking officials, including the President, Prime Minister, ministers, Knesset members, and rabbis. The organization cites the Attorney General and State Prosecutor's previous acknowledgment that law enforcement agencies are examining several cases, and is demanding a report on the opening of investigations into these inciting statements.

Adalah's legal director, Dr. Suhad Bishara, criticized the authorities for disproportionately focusing on suppressing the legitimate political free expression of Arab citizens, while ignoring direct calls by officials to kill uninvolved Palestinian civilians in Gaza. She suggests this systemic indifference is linked to the massive civilian casualties, including many children and women, resulting from the assault on Gaza.

By pressuring the authorities to investigate these inciting statements, Adalah is testing Israel's commitment to the ICJ's interim ruling and its obligations under international law to prevent incitement to genocide.

My opinion developed so far that I question the right of Israel, not only to defend itself, but to exist as state on the current territory.

Actually they betrayed every moral support and Jews internationally, even the colonial project was unjust and manipulated from the very beginning.

I can find only one major journalism organization -- the Guardian US -- that a) understands the accelerating threats to our democracy; b) relentlessly explains what is happening; and c) has proudly assumed the role of an advocate for saving democracy.

I'm fairly sure that other Big Journalism orgs understand. A (scant) few have even begun to give this the ongoing coverage it requires.

But apart from the Guardian, they can't be bothered to become the advocates we desperately need.

"If It Isn't Genocide In Gaza, What Is It?"

Great editorial by Gideon Levy, award winning journalist and on the editorial board at Haaretz, regarding the genocide in Gaza, Israel's slanted media and lack of coverage, and the trial at the ICJ

https://www.haaretz.com/opinion/2024-01-14/ty-article-opinion/.premium/if-it-isnt-a-genocide-in-gaza-then-what-is-it/0000018d-040c-dd07-a7df-cf7e8b980000

And what to make of the remarks of the head of the Israeli defense team, Prof. Malcolm Shaw: "The actions of Israel are proportionate and only target armed forces"? But what about the truth? Proportionate with such destruction? If that is what proportionate looks like, what does disproportionate look like? Hiroshima? "Only against armed forces," with near multitudes of dead children? What is he talking about? ""Making phone calls to evacuate the uninvolved'; who still has an operating telephone in Gaza and exactly where are they supposed to evacuate in this hell where not a single piece of safe ground remains? And the ultimate: ""Even if soldiers violated the laws governing war, that will be heard by the Israeli legal system."
