Part of the acceptance, normalization of the mass slaughter in Gaza, Lebanon is the racist fundament by the western elite, they look down upon arab, muslims, immigrants etc.
Just take the speech on immigration by Starmer the other day where he was dangerously close in repeating the right-wing extremist conspiracy theory of the so called “Great Replacement”:Starmer: record net migration shows Tories ran ‘open borders experiment’
Keir Starmer has accused the Conservatives of running an “open borders experiment” after new figures showed that net migration to the UK hit a record high of nearly 1 million in a period covering Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak’s administrations.

I am worried that Trump may fail to stop the proxy war against Russia because he is so supportive of Israel and hates Iran so much. Rather than reposting, please see here on the Ukraine thread.
This article illustrates just how much of a police state the UK has now become; and seemingly our police are run by Mossad these days.
This was the kind of activity our media would point to, when lambasting the freedoms of individuals in the days of the USSR and KGB.
Just checked out JVL to see if there were any new articles, and they re-posted the following Haaretz article yesterday. Here’s the JVL introduction and the first part of the article:
In this long but important interview Rashid Khalidi raises a number of issues including the value and success of BDS, the changing attitudes towards Israel, the weakness and mistakes of Palestinian leaders past and present. Among many other works, Khalidi wrote “The Hundred Years War on Palestine” in 2020 that has been updated to include the reality and impact of the early months of the post October 7th attacks on Gaza, which we would thoroughly recommend.
Khalidi is highly critical of the US and Israel but still condemns the violence meted out during the attack into Israel on October 7th and here he also voices criticism of suicide bombings in the past even while recognising the context.
When asked what he wishes Israelis understood, he says he wishes that they understood “something that’s very hard for them to grasp: how the Palestinians and the rest of the world see the situation. It’s seen from the beginning as an attempt to create a Jewish state in an Arab country. This is not some innocent bunch of refugees arriving in their ancestral homeland and suddenly being attacked by wild men and women. They arrive and do things that generate everything that follows; their very arrival and the structures with which they arrive create the conflict.”

Rashid Khalidi: ‘Israel Has Created a Nightmare Scenario for Itself. The Clock Is Ticking’
The story isn’t Hamas, religion or terrorism. Rashid Khalidi, the preeminent Palestinian intellectual of our time, is convinced that the Israelis simply don’t understand the conflict – living in a ‘bubble of false consciousness’
by Itay Mashiach, Ha’aretz
On May 1 this year, the day after the New York police, with the aid of stun grenades, burst into the building where pro-Palestinian protesters had barricaded themselves on the campus of Columbia University, Prof. Rashid Khalidi went to one of the gates of the university to talk to demonstrators. In aviator sunglasses and wielding a megaphone, the historian looked to be in his element.
“When I was a student back in the 1960s, we were told we were led by ‘a bunch of outside agitators,’ by politicians whose names nobody remembers today. We were the conscience of this nation when we opposed the Vietnam War and racism,” he told the crowd, adding that, “today we honor the students who in 1968 opposed a genocidal, illegal, shameful war… And one day what our students have done here will be commemorated in the same way. They are – and they were – on the right side of history.”
Khalidi has been described as the most significant Palestinian intellectual of his generation, as the successor to Edward Said, and as the preeminent living historian of Palestine….
Palestinian museum wants to set up museum in former Israeli embassy in Dublin. 😆
Israel steps up anti Ireland rhetoric.
https://archive.is/lMt3JIsraeli foreign minister Gideon Saar had earlier described the Taoiseach as “Ireland’s anti-Semitic prime minister Simon Harris”
Also “The latest exchanges come as the Department of Enterprise confirmed the US Chamber of Commerce, the largest business group in the US, raised the Occupied Territories Bill during talks with the Government in Dublin last week.”Government is due to change following elections but likely will be similar in make up.

Tremendous idea and a far better site than the sites Israel pick to build their museums on:

In other news:German human rights group ECCHR claim that based on the available facts and information one could claim that Israel commit genocide:
In recent months, ECCHR has been conducting independent research and analysis on the topic of genocide, and analyzing this against the available information and evidence relating to Israel’s actions in Gaza. This process has led us to the conclusion that there is a legally sound argument that Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinians in Gaza.
https://www.ecchr.eu/en/press-release/gaza-and-the-matter-of-genocide/
https://www.ecchr.eu/fileadmin/Q_As/ECCHR_Q_A__Gaza_and_Genocide_20241210.pdfI believe it is now time to end the conflict in Gaza. The Palestinian situation seems beyond hopeless. A settlement needs to be negotiated, the killings will become more than obscene the longer they hold out without support.
HST’s capture of Damascus and the House of Assad making it’s rapid departure leaves no hope for Gaza. Without support from Hezbollah and the Houthis what choice have they got.

‘Of 200 bodies, only 10 were confirmed as Hamas members’: IDF soldiers who served in Gaza tell Haaretz that anyone who crosses an imaginary line in the contested Neztarim corridor is shot to death, with every Palestinian casualty counting as a terrorist – even if they were just a childUnlocked-paywall link to Haaretz: https://archive.is/IbH0B#selection-401.0-405.287
Also in Haaretz, on the Pager attack in Lebanon, Mossad agents went through the set-up in 60 minutes. A plan executed a decade ago and involved shell-companies after shell-companies covering up traces to Israel:

Note how cheered and hailed this attack is in the west. When in fact it is an obvious crime of terror.Jack, can you please help to unlock another Haaretz article?

In other news Germany keep arming Israel, so awful and terrible considering the flagrant war crimes (even obvious acts of genocide) being commited by Israel, war crimes commited with the very arms, bullets west have provided, it is like reality, facts does not matter at all:Germany allows more arms exports to Israel, report says
https://www.aa.com.tr/en/europe/germany-allows-more-arms-exports-to-israel-report-says/3433112
Besides, does Israel even need more weapons? Or is these arms exports rather a symbolic move?
Nevertheless, Germany is complicit in this genocide. It is sickening that the Greens are pushing for this. The far-right drift by the Greens is heinous. Compare the european Greens with the US Greens led by Jill Stein. Two different parties.
Do the Greens in europe never stop up and question their policies and how far off they have difted from their original policies of anti-war/de-escalation/nuclear disarment etc?Some various news/links I want to share
Is it not strange that, the more evidence for israel’s apparent crimes, the less criticism by the west?
As clarity on Israel’s genocide grows, so does the int’l community’s silence
The gaslightning is absurd and deadly:
The US pressured a leading food security monitoring organisation to withdraw its warning of imminent famine in northern Gaza, according to officials in Washington who spoke to the Associated Press (AP).
https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20241227-us-pressured-aid-monitor-to-retract-gaza-famine-warning/
And *Surprise surprise*, israel’s claim of terror-HQs in Gaza hospitals is widely exagerrated claims ICC:
Claims of Hamas fighters in Gaza hospitals have been exaggerated, says senior ICC prosecutor
The useless, collaborationist Palestinian Authority-regime, ban Al Jazeera
Al Jazeera slams Palestinian Authority move to suspend West Bank operations
The network says the PA’s decision is ‘in line with the [Israeli] occupation’s actions against its staff’.Al jezeera, that probably had the best coverage of the genocide, are banned, by the Palestinian authority. You cannot make this up but prove once again what kind of disgraceful, fifth-column Mahmoud Abbas/PA really is.
