The first library built in Gaza during the genocide. Please preserve it.
The Phoenix Library, which was built as the first library in Gaza during the genocide, needs your support to stay open. It is going through very difficult conditions and facing high operational costs. After students, readers, and poets finally found a sanctuary in Gaza, the library is now on the verge of closing. Please do not deprive them, and do not deprive the children of reading and having a safe space to rest. chuffed.org/project/200344-e…

Leaked Israeli documents reveal how Benjamin Netanyahu's government waged a secret campaign to stop boycotts of Israel in Britain. That included a "sensitive" meeting with Michael Gove -- when he was justice secretary in 2015 -- about countering the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions movement. Israel’s lobbying campaign was led by its justice minister Ayelet Shaked, who met Gove in London in November 2015. Shaked, from the far-right Jewish Home party, was alarmed by a European Commission plan to label goods produced on illegally occupied Palestinian land as originating from an “Israeli settlement”. The issue was consequently high on Shaked’s agenda, with the Israeli government fearing that the labels would help pro-Palestine boycott campaigns. Gove “enjoyed” meeting Shaked and specifically requested “more information” from the Israeli embassy on the labelling issue, the leaked emails show. Israel’s foreign ministry then arranged for an analysis to be prepared for Gove “as soon as possible” on the imminent EU measures. “I am aware of the workload, but there is an unusual window of opportunity here”, noted one Israeli official, apparently referring to Gove’s openness to guidance. declassifieduk.org/israels-s…

LATEST UPDATE: Andrey and Jasper have been released, but they’ve been banned from the West Bank for 60 days. This is a clear example of Israel trying to prevent us from covering the terror it commits in the West Bank.

The Israeli military is expanding its genocide in Gaza to all of Palestine. Last Friday, the Israeli government ordered the total closure of Al-Khalil, also called Hebron, and the entirety of the occupied West Bank where Al-Khalil is. Since then, it has forcibly displaced more than 3,972 Palestinians from their homes and arrested at least 85 people.

Mustafa Barghouti spells it out: the opposition zionist parties support Netanyahus policies when it comes to Palestinian issues so change won't come from within Israel. Instead it will only come about through external pressure, & thats why we in the west need to push for BDS.

"Liberal Zionists are the real enemy. There's not a liberal version of apartheid." Ben Moser
"There is NO Diet Coke Version of Zionism" In this episode of Palestine Deep Dive, Irish journalist and commentator Barry Malone and American writer Benjamin Moser, author of Anti-Zionism: A Jewish History, join host Ahmed Alnaouq for a wide-ranging discussion on Zionism, anti-Zionism, media complicity and the language shaping public debate around Israel and Palestine. Drawing on the history of Jewish opposition to Zionism, the conversation explores Britain’s role in the Zionist movement, the politics of antisemitism and the silencing of dissent. They also examine the Green Party’s recent adoption of its “Zionism is Racism” motion and the debate it has sparked. With Israeli elections bringing renewed attention to Benjamin Netanyahu, the discussion also addresses whether a change of prime minister would address the deeper questions of Palestinian self-determination and equal rights @benjaminfmoser | @malonebarry | @AlnaouqA

The results of Israel’s elections demonstrate how racism has permeated the Jewish collective—not just the fascist contingent of Smotritch, Ben Gvir, Netanyahu & their ilk. The Palestinian-Arab citizens of Israel continue to be targeted, excluded & smeared while the Zionist majority brazenly adopts the extremist policies of genocidal Israel.

Palestinian citizens of Israel celebrated exit polls showing gains for Arab parties in the Knesset election on 27 October. Arab parties are projected to win 18 of the Knesset’s 120 seats, up from 10 in the 2022 election, marking a significant increase in Arab political representation. Israel’s Central Elections Committee reported voter turnout of 77.7%, the highest since 1999. The results point to increased mobilisation among Arab voters, with communities coming together at the polls. The exit polls remain preliminary, with official results still awaited. By @RabeeaEid

L’histoire se répète, l’apartheid à faire tomber est en Israël.
Apartheid South Africa also used to say "Why are we are the world's most criticized state, despite being the only democracy in Africa with Western values, the only truly industrialized state in Africa, & ranked among the 20 most developed nations in the world"

The final outcome of Israel's election is unclear, but whoever forms the next government, our task remains the same: To build the movement for Palestine, advance campaigns for Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions, and end Britain's complicity in Israel's genocide and apartheid 🧵

This is the context in which Palestinian citizens of Israel went to the polls. Recognising the hatred and racism in the mainstream Israeli parties, they voted for Palestinian parties in unprecedented numbers, despite legal and political efforts to further disenfranchise them. 5/6 x.com/NimerSultany/status/21…
Vote without Influence: A thread of the Palestinian-Arab vote in the Israeli elections: 1. Currently (after 93 percent of the vote count) the Palestinian parties in the Knesset are projected to win 19 seats (compare to 2015, when Joint List had 15 MPs).

Israeli forces have barricaded Hebron for six days. They have displaced 5,000 people already. Horrific.
