#Israelis Illegal occupation

Bassem Youssef: "Israel always victimises itself, and I have never seen a victim putting their oppressor under siege and bombing them 24/7 .

Israel wants you to believe that they are the victim.

Dealing with Israel is so difficult it's like being in a relationship with a narcissistic psychopath: he fucks you up, and then he makes you think it's your fault.

You look at Israel as Superman, but they're really Homelander-

They are shooting fish in a barrel, and they are annoyed with the splashes."

- Important to remind ourselves of this perfectly accurate description and the complete clarity it brings every now and then, especially as the oppressors still continue to play the victim while blatantly carrying out the most horrific genocide against literal innocents of an entire country. Especially as the ICJ hearings are underway. Don't let your perception of them get distorted. They really are this horrific. None of this is an exaggeration.

The first Palestinian athlete to participate in the Olympic games died on Wednesday at the Nuseirat refugee camp in Gaza as a result of kidney failure due to power outages and medical shortages as a result of the ongoing Israeli war and siege of the enclave.

Majed Abu Maraheel, who passed away at the age of 61, became the first athlete to be the flag bearer and represent Palestinians at the Olympic Games in Atlanta in 1996. Being a distance runner, he competed in the 10km race.

Since his breakthrough on the world stage, more than 20 Palestinian men and women have been able to compete at Olympic competitions.

"He was a Palestinian icon, and he will remain as such," his brother told Paltoday TV after the funeral.

"We tried to evacuate him to Egypt but then the Rafah crossing was closed (by Israel), and his condition kept deteriorating."

In his preparation for the Olympics, Abu Maraheel would often be seen on his daily runs from his home in Gaza to the Erez Crossing with Israel, which Israel closed in October after imposing a full blockade on the Strip.

Last month, it was reopened for the first time since then.

He would often have to pass through that crossing for his job as a day labourer in Israel. After participating in the Olympics, Abu Maraheel went on to become a coach for other Palestinian runners hoping to replicate his presence at the international competition.

Abu Maraheel's death highlights the grim fate of many Palestinians who are facing kidney failure in Gaza.

A report from the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor in March found that there were between 1,000 to 1,500 patients in Gaza with kidney failure, and that they are facing a "slow death" because of "a lack of medical and therapeutic services, medications and other necessities".

Israel denies blocking humanitarian aid into Gaza, though aid agencies say they are not able to get aid in because of Israeli restrictions.

With international attention focused on Israel’s genocide in Gaza, Israel is violently and rapidly stealing more and more Palestinian land in the West Bank.

Israel’s most genocidal leaders are seeing through plans to force as many Palestinians out of their homes as possible in order to ensure they can never return.

“For every country that unilaterally recognizes a Palestinian state, we will establish a [illegal] settlement,” said Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich.

Let’s be clear, stealing Palestinians land has been Israel’s goal since day 1. It’s illegal, it’s wrong, and it must be stopped.

No one is above international law. The Biden administration should be pushing Israel to abide by international law, not enabling its war crimes against Palestinians.

Like all people, Palestinians deserve to be safe and free in their homes.

A reminder about Palestine:

Firstly, the existence of the country of Palestine was never in question. And secondly, as per the UK's own words in the oft-referred to "foundational" "Balfour Declaration":

"NOTHING SHALL BE DONE WHICH MAY PREJUDICE THE CIVIL AND RELIGIOUS RIGHTS OF EXISTING NON-JEWISH COMMUNITIES IN PALESTINE."

Plain as day.

GAZA - Les sionistes ont commis un autre massacre à Gaza.

[gryficowa]

I remind you that Israel planned to use drones that make crying babies to attract Palestinians who want to save them, to murder them in cold blood…

[cavalierzee]

Give Genocide A Chance

“We Never Wanted To See A Diplomatic Resolution With HAMAS”

The U.S. and Israel NEVER wanted a cease-fire, nor peace.

Negotiations in bad-faith, in order to give Israel more time to murder Palestinians and completely Demolish Gaza.

Irish MP Barrett: How do we know it's a massacre and a genocide? Because the Israelis told us they were going to do it.

Their ministers told us that they were going to starve the entire population of water , electricity, food, medical supplies; "punish them all".

They described them, as 'human animals'. The classic dehumanisation which is the prelude to every single genocide that has ever taken place. Where the president of Israel said, "they are all responsible". 15th November 2023

Repost from @theslowfactory and @falasteenrising:

🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨 The International Court of Justice (ICJ) issued a decision deeming illegal the zionist entity’s settlements in the West Bank and eastern Al-Quds, considering that they amount to “de facto annexation” and are a violation of the Geneva Convention.

The ICJ noted that the zionist entity has accelerated settlement construction in the occupied West Bank with 24,000 new units, thus violating international law and creating an untenable living situation for Palestinians.

The court called for the entity to stop all new settlement activities and for UN members not to recognize “israel’s” presence in the West Bank and eastern Al-Quds.

The court highlighted the zionist entity’s exploitation of resources, prevention of entry of water to Palestinians, and transfer of settlers to Palestinian areas, noting that these contradict “international commitments.”

The ICJ viewed the zionist entity’s practices against Palestinians as possibly amounting to “discrimination and apartheid.”

Zionist Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich called for annexing the entire West Bank after the decision, while “National Security Minister” Itamar Ben-Gvir called the decision anti-Semitic.

Palestinian educators have previously told Middle East Eye that Israeli authorities were aiming to eliminate its curriculum in favour of the Israeli version, in an attempt to erode Palestinian identity and "distort" history. 

Academic content Israel has sought to censor, they said, includes the logo of the Palestinian Authority, the Palestinian flag, lessons that discuss the Palestinian struggle against occupation, the right of return and prisoners, settlements, the immigration of settlers to Palestine, military checkpoints, the intifada, displaced villages, and considering Zionism a racist political movement.
