The fair treatment of Israeli captives by Hamas has become part of the information war between Palestinians and Tel Aviv. Left unsaid is that there remain thousands of Palestinians in captivity who barely survive their Israeli detention. Also: ‘Hugs, Smiles Were Enough to Take Israeli Propaganda Down’.
The holocaust now visited on Palestine by U.S./Israel is unique in many ways. Rates of killing and maiming exceed those of previous Israeli assaults on Gaza, the perpetrators announce their genocidal intent with unusual frankness, and Western media and official apologists are especially shameless.
‘Israel-Palestine War: What We Know About the Israel-Hamas Truce So Far’; ‘Israel’s Ground War Conundrum’: Israel’s ground incursion is facing unprecedented dangers ahead; ‘Al-Shifa Hospital, Hamas’s Tunnels, and Israeli Propaganda’: on Israel’s war against Gaza hospitals.
‘US War Profiteers vs. US Citizens’: When we accept responsibility for what is happening as Americans, we have no choice but to act; ‘Shutting Down the Space Needle, Standing Up for Gaza’; ‘America’s War Economy and the Urgent Call for Peace in the Middle East’.
The path to enduring peace is through remembering the humanity of others, especially those who may be on the other end of our political beliefs.
‘The Largest Pro-Palestinian Protest in U.S. History was “a Turning Point.” Now it’s Spreading’; ‘Hundreds of Thousands Join London March to Demand ‘Cease-Fire Now’ in Gaza’; Also: Increasing number of countries breaking ties with Israel in protest over its intense assault on Gaza.
Israel is a settler-colonial power that was founded in a paroxysm of violence in 1948 and has initiated conflict dozens of times since then. Diplomacy, compromise and negotiation are simply not part of its DNA.
There are no words to express what we are witnessing. In the five weeks of horror this is one of the pinnacles of horror. President Joe Biden will go down in history as an accomplice to genocide. May the ghosts of the thousands of children he has participated in murdering haunt him for the rest of his life.
The tide of anti-Muslim and anti-Jewish sentiment throughout the world, which seems to be on the rise, demands a historical revision of relations between Muslims and Jews. An almost forgotten episode during World War II can shed light on this issue.
“We have failed you.”
