The israeli supporters are the ones that create antisemitism with statements like this, to be fair to this woman she is not alone, this is what Israel and it supporters deep down want:
Outrage grows after ‘chilling call for genocide’ by Florida Republican Michelle Salzman
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/nov/10/florida-republican-michelle-salzman-palestineImagine if the roles were reversed, that a politician called for genocide against israelis, that person would be kicked out directly!

The Intercept reporting on fb and how its “moderation” “failed” to identify Ads that were calling for Holocaust against Palestinians.
It was in fact a test made by NGOs
“Facebook Approved an Israeli Ad Calling for Assassination of Pro-Palestine Activist
After the ad was discovered, digital rights advocates ran an experiment testing the limits of Facebook’s machine-learning moderation.”
https://theintercept.com/2023/11/21/facebook-ad-israel-palestine-violence/
“A series of advertisements dehumanizing and calling for violence against Palestinians, intended to test Facebook’s content moderation standards, were all approved by the social network, according to materials shared with The Intercept.
The submitted ads, in both Hebrew and Arabic, included flagrant violations of policies for Facebook and its parent company Meta. Some contained violent content directly calling for the murder of Palestinian civilians, like ads demanding a “holocaust for the Palestinians” and to wipe out “Gazan women and children and the elderly.” Other posts, like those describing kids from Gaza as “future terrorists” and a reference to “Arab pigs,” contained dehumanizing language.”
British media reporting that they’ll be some sort of ceasefire in Gaza beginning at 8am tomorrow Thurs 23rd of Nov.
Consortium news has a piece by Sam Husseini in which he “suggests ways global outrage can be harnessed to help induce a country to invoke the Genocide Convention against Israel at the International Court of Justice.”
He extensively references CM’s article on activating the genocide convention.

Harvard Law Review apparently for the first time ever revoked publication of a piece:
The Nation brings it instead.title of the canceled analysis “The Ongoing Nakba: Towards a Legal Framework for Palestine”
by Rabea EghbariahIt would have been the first such piece by a Palestinian PhD:
“The vote followed what an editor at the law review described in an email to Eghbariah as “an unprecedented decision” by the leadership of the Harvard Law Review to prevent the piece’s publication.”
https://www.thenation.com/article/archive/harvard-law-review-gaza-israel-genocide/
Her the prelude:
“On Saturday, the board of the Harvard Law Review voted not to publish “The Ongoing Nakba: Towards a Legal Framework for Palestine,” a piece by Rabea Eghbariah, a human rights attorney completing his doctoral studies at Harvard Law School. The vote followed what an editor at the law review described in an email to Eghbariah as “an unprecedented decision” by the leadership of the Harvard Law Review to prevent the piece’s publication.
Eghbariah told The Nation that the piece, which was intended for the HLR Blog, had been solicited by two of the journal’s online editors. It would have been the first piece written by a Palestinian scholar for the law review. The piece went through several rounds of edits, but before it was set to be published, the president stepped in. “The discussion did not involve any substantive or technical aspects of your piece,” online editor Tascha Shahriari-Parsa, wrote Eghbariah in an email shared with The Nation. “Rather, the discussion revolved around concerns about editors who might oppose or be offended by the piece, as well as concerns that the piece might provoke a reaction from members of the public who might in turn harass, dox, or otherwise attempt to intimidate our editors, staff, and HLR leadership.”
On Saturday, following several days of debate and a nearly six-hour meeting, the Harvard Law Review‘s full editorial body came together to vote on whether to publish the article. Sixty-three percent voted against publication. In an email to Egbariah, HLR President Apsara Iyer wrote, “While this decision may reflect several factors specific to individual editors, it was not based on your identity or viewpoint.”
In a statement that was shared with The Nation, a group of 25 HLR editors expressed their concerns about the decision. “At a time when the Law Review was facing a public intimidation and harassment campaign, the journal’s leadership intervened to stop publication,” they wrote. “The body of editors—none of whom are Palestinian—voted to sustain that decision. We are unaware of any other solicited piece that has been revoked by the Law Review in this way. “
When asked for comment, the leadership of the Harvard Law Review referred The Nation to a message posted on the journal’s website. “Like every academic journal, the Harvard Law Review has rigorous editorial processes governing how it solicits, evaluates, and determines when and whether to publish a piece…” the note began. “Last week, the full body met and deliberated over whether to publish a particular Blog piece that had been solicited by two editors. A substantial majority voted not to proceed with publication.”
Today, The Nation is sharing the piece that the Harvard Law Review refused to run.”
Raz Segal associate professor (he was on Democracy now back in october) he clearly declare what is going on in Gaza is a genocide:
13 minutes that should be watcehd by every westerner:
https://twitter.com/GaryLineker/status/1726984161905545305
Some group of nations must act and that is quick because Israel intent to make the life in Gaza even more miserable and unlivable than it already is, Israel will enforce their plan of ethnic cleansing the palestinians to the outside world.Regarding genocide we have the intent we have the result in Gaza by Israel. This is genocide.
I read somehwere that the median age for the people killed in Gaza was like 6 years old.
6 years old.
Think about that. Israel do not wage a war against Hamas, Israel do not wage a war against palestinians, Israel wage a war against small children, toddlers. It is insane what is going on. It is the type of senseless killing you read about in the old testament and it happen right in front of the whole world!from 2018
“Glenn Greenwald: Is Facebook Operating as an Arm of the Israeli State by Removing Palestinian Posts?”
https://www.democracynow.org/2018/1/2/glenn_greenwald_is_facebook_operating_asfrom now
“Meet the Israeli History Teacher Arrested & Jailed for Facebook Posts Opposing Killing of Palestinians”
https://www.democracynow.org/2023/11/22/meir_baruchin“On November 9, Israeli police arrested Jerusalem history and civics teacher Meir Baruchin after he posted a message on Facebook about his opposition to the killing of innocent Palestinian civilians. Police seized his phone and two laptops before interrogating him on suspicion of committing an act of treason and intending to disrupt public order. After being in jail for four days, Baruchin was freed but lost his job as a teacher and is still facing charges. “These days Israeli citizens who are showing the slightest sentiment for the people of Gaza, opposing killing of innocent civilians, they are being politically persecuted, they go through public shaming, they lose their jobs, they are being put in jail,” says Baruchin, who says if he had been Palestinian, he would have faced more violence.”
Former chief persecutor of ICC (2003-2012), Luis Moreno Ocampo, that refused to initiate a case against Israel during his term, came out during the Azerbaijan/Armenia war earlier this year with a statement:
He claimed, and perhaps he is right, that Azerbaijan engaged in genocidal acts.
https://en.armradio.am/2023/09/20/if-biden-and-putin-agree-to-cooperate-genocide-in-nagorno-karabakh-can-stop-in-one-day-luis-moreno-ocampo/
in another article he claimed the Azeri blockade could be considered genocide:
https://www.justsecurity.org/87574/starvation-as-a-means-of-genocide-azerbaijans-blockade-of-the-lachin-corridor-between-armenia-and-nagorno-karabakh/In that war of 2023, some 40 armenian civilians have been killed. 40 too much of course.
But, in that case this former chief persecutor did use the term genocide with ease. But he refuse to use the same terminology when Israel kill not 40 but some 8000 palestinian civilians, then it is suddenly not a genocide?!Norman Finkelstein wrote a whole book about ICC hypocrisy and their deceitfulness.
https://www.orbooks.com/catalog/i-accuse/As far as ICC is concerned, they will most likely only initiate a case against palestinian crimes, ICC will never target a western state and certainly not the jewish state, there is way too much israeli lobbying against ICC for that to happen.
Analysis: How the UK and US media dehumanise Palestinians
Authors examine headlines and front pages from five major news media – Washington Post, New York Times, Guardian, Times, and BBC – showing how they reduce Palestinians to numbers and cover Israel in ways reflecting their governments’ priorities.
https://www.declassifieduk.org/analysis-how-the-uk-and-us-media-dehumanise-palestinians/Which of course is the reason why so many westerners are so incredibly ignorant of what is going on and fall back on the easy, knee-jerk populistic, islamophobic discourse.
Just hours before the ceasefire is about to start Israel kill Hamas commander in Khan Yunis, and yeah Israel just bombed another UN school in the area about 50 palestinians killed.
And they do all this right before the ceasefire, what a pathetic regime, killing and violence is all they know.
Jack, you have been working hard to bring to everyone’s attention the callous Israeli attacks on Al-Shifa hospital and thanks for that. The Israelis (and USA) justified their devastating bombing on their assertion that below the hospital building Hamas had their “command and control” centre.
According to a piece at consortium news the Israelis (and USA) knew that the likely Hamas command centre was else where since at least Nov 14 2023.
Jack
Finkelstein said he thinks the book didn´t sell at all due to its special topic.
I by now assume it had to do with him as you say attacking ICC.Because the topic itself would haven been enough reason for thousands of students studying intern. law to buy that book.
Unless of course their university syllabus suggested otherwise.But since I only skimmed it back then I first have to really read it. But most likely it´s impeccable as scholarship goes.
p.s. I am waiting – in vain of course – for German papers warning that fascism in the Netherlands is now rising. After all it´only Muslims.
The comical IDF soldier that goes around like a goof pointing and claim that everything is releated to Hamas, or should I say it the way the israelis say it “scchaamaaasss”: this is schaamass that is schaamass! Give me a break!
Apparently this “schaaamass” have invented special “schaamass” arches in the “scchaamass” tunnels built by “sschaamass”, I mean this is just hilarious stupid propaganda:
https://twitter.com/MikeBlueHair/status/1727872654055801098When is he going to point at an empty toilet roll and claim: this is a “scchaamass” tunnel!
They have been there at the hospital for what, 2 weeks now? Or is it 3? And the only thing they managed to show is a dilapidated tunnel, and that is, if these videos really are from under the hospital at all. This is the infamous tunnel that you went to a genocidal war for??
I always thought that israelis were good at propaganda but they suck big time.
Amazing, Piers Morgan had Norman Finkelstein on the show and for almost 30 minutes, the only thing Piers asked: Do you condemn Hamas.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_Sh-ERypMA
Note how he try to frame himself as impartial sigh.When Piers had israeli reps/pro-isrealis they never got these critical questions.
If Piers is horrified by 1000 killed israelis on the 7 of ocotober, why then is he not horrified by 15000 palestinians killed in the most brutal manner?Egypt keep throwing palestinians under the bus:
Egypt president says future Palestinian state could be demilitarised
https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/egypt-president-says-future-palestinian-state-could-be-demilitarised-2023-11-24/Why should Palestine be demilitarised? Have this vermin ever called for Israel to be demiltised? Because it is them that cause the absolute most killings in the region!
This is why these disgraceful arab leaders cannot be trusted, they have no interest to help their palestinian brothers, sisters, instead they aid the occupier that have as much hate for arabs in Egypt as in arabs in Gaza.
The muted response by arab street is also interesting, is there heavy censorhip in these corrupt arab states for the benefit of Israel/US? I cannot imagine the arab media show what is really going on because then the arab street would explode.
Democrats demand that Musk censor “Hamas propaganda”
https://edition.cnn.com/2023/11/21/tech/democrats-accuse-x-elon-musk-hamas-propaganda/index.htmlIt is the usual crowd of (pro)-israelis Dan Goldman Jamie Raskin Jerry Nadler Bennie Thompson Katie Porter
Adam Schiff and some 20 others.
As usual, the perpetrators/apologists of Israel see themselves as the victims, not the 15000 killed palestinians.Speaking on Musk he will travel to Israel and meet Netanyahu and tour the 7th october places
Elon Musk to visit Israel, meet Netanyahu amid antisemitism claims: report
https://www.foxbusiness.com/business-leaders/elon-musk-visit-israel-meet-netanyahu-antisemitism-claims-reportFor someone that have his roots in South Africa with their history of apartheid, it is absurd that he do not realize that that is what is going on in Israel and even travel and meet with the person responsible for a genocide, ethnic cleansing. Guy is a naive, loose cannon that soon will become the useful idiot for Israel.
Over 200 palestinians killed, including 50 children in the West Bank since october 7, killings that will face no reporting, condemnation, scrutiny nor penalty.
221 Palestinians killed by Israeli forces and settlers in West Bank
The death toll since October 7, which includes 56 children, accounts for almost 50 percent of Palestinian fatalities in the occupied West Bank for 2023, the UN agency OCHA has said.
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2023/11/25/israel-hamas-live-news-prisoners-and-captives-welcomed-homeBut the corrupt Palestinian Authority in the West Bank do nothing about it, instead they invite the enablers:

Forgot the text for the Twitter link above: “David Cameron was a patron of the largest settlement building body in occupied Palestine, the JNF.
Alongside the Israeli Prime Minister and President.”Truce in Gaza would not keep Israel from showing some goodwill in West Bank where they continue to kill people with total immunity.
Five Palestinians killed and at least 18 wounded in a raid in Jenin that lasted more than 12 hours. Two of those injured are reportedly in critical condition.
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2023/11/25/israel-hamas-war-live-israeli-officials-say-39-palestiniansOn top of that the West Bank keep getting ethnically cleansed, this goes on in 2023 right in front of the whole world:
Farmers in the occupied West Bank say they face near-daily incursions and violence from Israeli settlers, to the point that they live in fear of having their homes and land stolen.
https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2023/11/26/israeli-settlers-steal-palestinian-farmers-land-in-occupied-west-bankOn top of that Israel attack UN peace keeping force in Lebanon:
UN peacekeepers claim attack by Israel
The incident occurred in southern Lebanon during a period of “relative calm”
https://swentr.site/news/587990-un-peacekeepers-attacked-israel/Israel is such an abnormal case because of the western blocking of any action to stop the israelis senseless acts, Israel is such an outlier because no state would get away what Israel are doing now, such a state would be bombed to bits, occupied (like Germany after WW2). World is upside down when it comes to Israel.
Seems like Israel want to trigger a palestinian reaction by their escalating in the West Bank just as in Gaza to justify large scale ethnic cleansing:
Last night, 8 Palestinians were murdered by Israeli occupation forces in the West Bank: 6 in Jenin, 1 in Nablus, & 1 in RamallahWhenever there is a brutal military occupation, terrorism continues non-stop, war crimes are committed without accountability & there is no ceasefire
Video of some destruction past day:
https://www.twitter.com/ytirawi/status/1728734433295974487And in Gaza more sickening testimonies pouring out.
The Israeli soldiers literally told this guy and a group of others to go help the injured man whom they shot, and when they arrived near the injured man, the same soldiers who told them to go help, started shooting at them. This is Israeli army, “the most moral army” and the “only democracy” in the Middle East.
https://www.twitter.com/azaizamotaz9/status/1728491189836329411How can Israel think that all this brutalization will give them peace and security?

British “Writer Sharon Dodua Otoo is to be stripped of the Peter Weiss Prize”
because she signed the UK version of BDS:
Peter Weiss was a major proponent of progressive leftwing literature in West Germany/Sweden from the 1960s-1982
Novelist, filmmaker, playwright, typical high school reading – you could argue the bolder sibling of Heiner Kipphardt as plays are concerned:e.g.
“The Investigation” about the first Auschwitz trials 1963 in Frankfurt, which were fought out hard against the German legal caste
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Investigation_(play)
On the Vietnam War
“Discourse on Vietnam” 1968

“Marat/Sade” about the French Revolution, 1964, received the US Tony Award for Best New Play 1966
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marat/SadeThe collaboration between Peter Brooke and the RSC made Weiss known in the Anglo-American sphere
His major essayistic novel about German Communist resistance in Nazi Germany “The Aesthetics Of Resistance”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Aesthetics_of_ResistanceWould Weiss agree with the decision against Sharon Dodua Otoo?
Frankly I doubt it. His father was of Jewish descent. But as far as I remember Weiss never had any agenda concerning Zionism.
