Israel-Gaza war

[MyLifeIsYours]

Biden is fumbling on solving the conflict. He went out to say the Palestinians did the attack instead of the IDF. Honesty, the West has scrumbled with all of the cheerleading for Israel. A war criminal like Benjamin Netanyahu should be getting the blame here for ordering to massacre million of innocent Palestinians who don't have the luxury of the apartheid state its being occupy by.

This conflict really shows what a pathetic joke the American government and media are.

England's greatest ever Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, would have crushed the Pro-Palestinian protests in London according to her former aide, Nile Gardiner.

I am in no doubt that she would have supported an outright ban on the hate-filled pro-Palestine/pro-Hamas “protests.”

The prime minster who further the escalation of runaway capitalist hegemony in the West? The same leader who punish the working class by breaking up the coal miner unions and stating falsely "there is no society?"

Yes, this is a lady we should look as the ideal leader for peace in the Middle East.

An institution that was occupied by the apartheid state now demolished to history, just as with the villages  that were torn apart from the hostile Zionist forces in 1948. This is somehow acceptable to Israel apologist because it somehow anti-semitic to question anything about that nation.

ing to the United Nations relief agency for Palestinians and called for an immediate reversal of the move that entails “great” risk.

The UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) earlier said it had opened an investigation into some employees that Israel alleges were involved in the October 7 attacks that triggered the current conflict.

On Saturday, Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) Secretary-General Hussein al-Sheikh said the countries’ decision “entails great political and humanitarian relief risks”.

“At this particular time and in light of the continuing aggression against the Palestinian people, we need the maximum support for this international organization and not stopping support and assistance to it,” he wrote on X, urging the countries to “immediately reverse their decision”.

, Australia, Canada and the United States said they would halt funding to the agency, while European Union foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said the 27-member bloc would “assess further steps and draw lessons based on the result of the full and comprehensive investigation”.

The United Kingdom and Finland also joined the growing list of countries to pause financial aid to the UN agency, whose facilities where displaced Palestinians sought shelter have been repeatedly attacked in Israeli airstrikes.

Hamas on Saturday slammed Israeli “threats” against the agency, after Israel accused several UNRWA staff of involvement in Hamas’s October 7 attacks in southern Israel that the authorities there say killed about 1,140 people.

Look at these scumbags acting like innocent nine year olds riding on bicycles while just finishing killing innocent civilians. Literally makes my blood cold. So much for the morality complex of the IDF.

As per usual I'm assuming there's absolutely zero evidence that they "just finished killing innocent civilians" or even that the home has been occupied at any point in the last three months?

Look at the ruins of the homes in the clip. It looks like a normal day for an IDF soldier who had just killed or is planning to kill people. Doing acts of celebration in a demolished area is not painting them in a bright light.

If you want people to engage with your outrage, you probably shouldn't post content including antisemitic Holocaust minimization and revisionism.

I wouldn't say nazis in my terminology but the actions of the Nethanyahu government are fascist. What is happening in Gaza is a genocide that many I'm the United Nations agreed upon. It's not the Holocaust but just another long lines of atrocities committed by fascist governments.

UN expert finds reasonable claims to genocide acts in Gaza, according to Al Jazarra.

The UN special rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories, Francesca Albanese, writes in her report to the UN Security Council – which was released at the same time as the Gaza resolution vote – that “Israel’s genocide on the Palestinians in Gaza is an escalatory stage of a long-standing settler colonial process of erasure”.

“For over seven decades this process has suffocated the Palestinian people as a group – demographically, culturally, economically and politically – seeking to displace it and expropriate and control its land and resources. The ongoing Nakba must be stopped and remedied once and for all.”

The UN report finds that “there are reasonable grounds to believe” that the threshold for several genocidal acts against Palestinians is met: killing members of the group, causing serious bodily or mental harm and deliberately inflicting conditions of life calculated to bring about physical destruction.

“Israel has de facto treated an entire protected group and its life-sustaining infrastructure as ‘terrorist’ or ‘terrorist-supporting’, thus transforming everything and everyone into either a target or collateral damage, hence killable or destroyable,” says the report.

Munther Issac gives a throughfully Easter message about the ongoing genocide in the city that birth Jesus Christ. His oratory was heart-gutching, as the Christian community in Gaza has shrunk since the start of the war on Gaza in October. All the Christian Zionists should look up to this man for guidance of faith in the region, but they're too busy waiting for the second coming to give a damn about what an actual Chridtian thinks who lives in the region.

They've lost the war regardless of what happens to Hamas.

Israel can't possibly lose this war as long as it's still standing, because 10/7 laid the stakes clear. The goal is the bloody murder of every man, woman, and child in Israel, followed by that spurring global violence targeting diaspora Jewish communities. It shouldn't surprise anyone that any alternative is preferable to that.

Israel ignored any intelligence about the incoming attack on 10/7, and the immediate response showed the path in which they dehumanized the people of Gaza. You know the war was going to be a s**show when Netanyahu cut off all water and utility to Gazians, the vast majority of whom have no connection to Hamas, as well being children or women. That was the beginning of when I knew that we where going to see potential war crimes going to be leverage by Israel. 6 months later, we see a genocide that has killed over 32,000 civilians and a famine crisis that is going to hit the region, due to the inhumane actions by western nations by signing legislation to allow cutting off funding for UNRWA. Israel has shown its, true colors to the world the origins of it's barbaric roots, how they have treated Palestinians for years following their purge by the incoming European Zionists. Hooray for the only "democracy" in the Middle East.

Yes, Israelis are ontologically evil, they can never redeem themselves from their original sin of killing Jesus the Nakba

The original sin of Israel. The same goes for my nation of America with how the European colonizers wiped the indignious people, or how Austraila banished the aboriginals to a marginal group today.

Not really the same.  The Jews were wiped from Judea by the Romans and other local tribes.  The remainder were exiled from the land, and the Romans renamed the land Palestine to ethnically cleanse the land.  The land has been invaded many times over the past 2000 years.  The people calling themselves Palestinians are Arabic. 

The original sin is Palestine.  A moniker synonymous with genocide. 

There were Jews who were living in Palestine before the Zionists conquered the land through the British Empire granting them the land, having colonized the land from 1896. What I mean is so many of the incoming people of the emerging Israel state were generally of European descent. The leaders of the Zionist movement were European, they had no trace to life in the Middle East. Theodore Herzel, the founder of Zionism, sought out nations as Uganda for potential location to build a Jewish state. The criticism of the Zionist movement is that it's a Western colonial project, backed by the interests of the West. So you could be a Jewish person that was born in Beverly Hills who has never step foot out of the States, your granted immediately citizenship by Israel. While a Palestinian Arab who's home predated the nation of Israel, is not granted the right of citizenship. Something is messed up with this system here and I think the ethno-nationalist roots are the root cause of the problem.

Tyrant afraid of critical journalism that investigates the war crimes being committed by his state, bans news that dares to show his wrongdoings. This is what authoritarian leaders do, they seek of any news media that is challenging the status quo. Good job for Al Jazeera for providing some of the best coverage on the genocide in Gaza.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday vowed to shut down Al Jazeera’s operations in Israel, calling it a “terror channel” that spreads incitement, after parliament passed a law clearing the way for the closure.

Netanyahu’s pledge escalated Israel’s long-running feud against Al Jazeera. It also threatened to heighten tensions with Qatar, which owns the channel, at a time when the Doha government is playing a key role in mediation efforts to halt the war in Gaza.

The broadcaster condemned Netanyahu’s incitement claim as a “dangerous ludicrous lie.” Al Jazeera said late Monday that it holds Netanyahu responsible for the safety of its staff and offices, that it would continue what it described as its bold and professional coverage, and that it “reserves the right to pursue every legal step.”

Israel has long had a rocky relationship with Al Jazeera, accusing it of bias against Israel. Relations took a major downturn nearly two years ago when Al Jazeera correspondent Shireen Abu Akleh was killed during an Israeli military raid in the occupied West Bank.

Given that it is very unlikely you're a pure-blood Native American, I assume you're going to take your own advice and leave the United States to the natives? Or is that something you only demand of others from the safety of your keyboard?


If your line of reasoning is starting to sound a tad racist, it's because it is...

But let's play the game.

The Arabs (the clue is in the name) aren't indigenous to the Levant or the rest of the Fertile Crescent, they are settlers and they have been brutally wiping out the natives for centuries. The only reason there were Jews in Europe is because of enslavement by the Romans after the Jewish Wars. Dreyfus, The Russian Pogroms, The Holocaust, all proved that Jews are not and will never be considered European. Hell, Jews were banned in this country until 1656, but are apparently now "Whiter than white" Europeans according to poorly informed skull-measurers on the Internet.

The irony is Zionism is the best example of a decolonisation movement in history, the very thing you supposedly support. So if you don't like the results, probably best not to support such ideologies.

The funny thing is, I can't imagine you telling any other ethnic minority where they belong...

Again, I said Jews were living in Palestine long before the Zionists came and occupied the land. There were obviously Jews who lived in the region, dating back to the foundation of Abrahamic religion. The movement of Zionism was always a group of Ashkenazi Jews who felt it was time to back up and find a homeland just for their people as a way to fight the antisemitism of the time. The spot of Palestine just happens to be the place where they agreed to settle in, as outlined by the Belfour Declaration. Uganda was one nation discussed between the British and Theodore Herzel in 1903 as the potential spot for a Jewish ethno-state. The immigration pouring in Mandated Palestine was not the issue so much as displacing the Palestinians who have been living in the area for centuries. The leaders of Israel never figured a way to incorporate them into their fledging society, just as European settlers never figured out how to live with the Natives when they arrived on what is now American territory.

The movement of Zionism could not be described as decolonization when they sided with Western nations that have been the biggest colonizers in the world--America, Great Britian. If they wanted a better alliance to further the case you are making they should have been siding with all the third world nations near the region that raised against the Imperialism of the West.

Hey, quick question, what happened six months ago?

Does it exclude the atrocity happening in Gaza? All the innocent lives lost, all the aid blockage being delivered,  at a point where we are witnessing not only a genocide but a famine. This so-called war is not a war, you can't call it that when the other side has no military presence to fight against a large militaristic force backed by some of the most powerful nations on Earth. The consensus by organizations as the United Nations is that the events circulating in Faza consented a genocide.

On Friday, an Israeli airstrike in Gaza City killed the daughter and grandson of the prominent Palestinian poet Refaat Alareer, who was killed in an Israeli airstrike in December. Shaima Refaat Alareer died Friday along with her husband and 2-month-old son. Shaima had recently written a message on Facebook addressed to her late father, writing, “I have a beautiful news for you, I wish I could convey it to you while you are in front of me, I present to you your first grandchild. Do you know, my father, that you have become a grandfather? This is your grandson Abd al-Rahman whom I have long imagined you carrying, but I never imagined that I would lose you early even before you see him.” The website Electronic Intifada reports Shaima Refaat Alareer and her family were killed while sheltering in the building of Global Communities, an international relief charity.

From Amy Goodman Wikipedia page:

Goodman has received awards for her work, including the Robert F. Kennedy Prize for International Reporting (1993, with Allan Nairn)and the George Polk Award (1998, with Jeremy Scahill). In 1999, she declined to accept the Overseas Press Club Award, in protest at the group's pledge not to ask questions of keynote speaker Ambassador Richard Holbrooke and because the OPC was honoring Indonesia for its improved treatment of journalists despite the fact that its forces had recently beaten and killed reporters in occupied East Timor.

She received the 2001 Joe A. Callaway Award for Civic Courage.

On October 2, 2004, she was presented the Islamic Community Award for Journalism by the Council on American-Islamic Relations.On November 18, 2004, she was presented the Thomas Merton Award. In 2006, she received the Puffin/Nation Prize for Creative Citizenship.

Goodman was a recipient of the 2008 Right Livelihood Award. The Right Livelihood Award Foundation cited her work in "developing an innovative model of truly independent grassroots political journalism that brings to millions of people the alternative voices that are often excluded by the mainstream media".

On March 31, 2009, Goodman, with Glenn Greenwald, received the first Izzy Award (named after journalist I. F. "Izzy" Stone) for "special achievement in independent media". The award is presented by Ithaca College's Park Center for Independent Media.

In May 2012, she received an honorary Doctor of Letters degree from DePauw University in recognition of her journalistic work. She also received the Gandhi Peace Award from Promoting Enduring Peace, for a "significant contribution to the promotion of an enduring international peace".

On May 16, 2014, she received an honorary Doctor of Letters degree from Purchase College, SUNY in recognition of her progressive journalism.

In February 2015, she (and Laura Poitras) received the 2014 I.F. Stone Lifetime Achievement Award from the Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard.
In 2016, Goodman and Democracy Now! (along with Laura Gottesdiener, John Hamilton and Denis Moynihan) received a Sigma Delta Chi Award for excellence in journalism from the Society of Professional Journalists in the category of Breaking News Coverage (Network/Syndication Service/Program Service) for their piece, “Standoff at Standing Rock: Epic Native resistance to Dakota Access Pipeline.”

On February 14, 2019, she, and others, received the Frederick Douglass 200 award and was honored at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. The Frederick Douglass 200 award is a project of the Frederick Douglass Family Initiatives and the Antiracist Research and Policy Center at American University in Washington D.C. In October of 2023, the NY Peace Action Network recognized her with the William Sloane Coffin "Peacemaker Award"

Shows a good deal of journalistic credibility from Goodman through the years. She has been reporting stories that have been neglected by the corporate media conglomates who would rather distract audiences with trivial nonsense and sensationalism. She is a gold mine in the field of American journalism.

Agreed thank goodness she didn’t have a history of covering a different genocidal war by giving platforms to kooks to victim blame the oppressed side with no push back or it would make alot of this stuff she does on Palestine seem shallow

Democracy Now gives voices calling for peace, love, and understanding. They have a consistent record that backs up their reporting while the corporate media bangs the drums for war around the world. Look at CNN and their disgraceful coverage of the genocide in Gaza. All CNN does is parrot to the lies coming out of the Jerusalem bearu. With the coverage of Democracy Now you will br hearing the platform for voice of the voiceless.
