Basic Rules of War: 1- Civilians & civilian structures are NEVER legitimate targets 2- Disproportionate & indiscriminate violence are prohibited 3- Collective punishment is prohibited 4- Torture & mutilation are prohibited 5- Detainees should be treated humanely

Every potential Democratic presidential contender should be saying this

I am calling for the release of Marwan Bhargouti from Israeli prison.

Top Israeli historian, Amos Goldberg, shows how Israel's genocide denial is copy-pasted from Serb Genocidaires: The Serbs too said they were "defending themselves" against "radical-jihadist Bosnians" & that if they'd truly wanted genocide, Bosnia would've looked like Dresden!

.@muhammadshehad2 explains how tens of thousands of Palestinians are at imminent risk of death at any moment as they are living in structures partially destroyed by Israel that could collapse at any moment: "Now in Gaza about 2,000 high-rise buildings that are at risk of collapse. And Israel is neither allowing any construction material to prevent that collapse from happening. Neither does it allow any machinery to go in to bring down those buildings before they collapse on top of the heads of the people inside them. So you end up with the catastrophic scenario that we saw a few days ago ...in the tower called al-Sa'ada, a building that's been shelled and bombed multiple times by Israel. And then because people are so desperate and they would rather stay in a bombed out building than to stay on the street and get feasted upon by mice and rodents, basically people stayed in that building out of desperation. And one night it collapsed on top of their heads overnight. You had a hundred people stuck in there, including 50 children. And people that tried to rescue them had to dig with their own bare hands to find bodies underneath find living humans underneath. And the people that were stuck underneath that rubble, they were screaming for help for hours and hours and hours until some of those voices eventually just died out. It disappeared slowly into thin air. And basically, it shows you the state of the world that we are in today. If this was the OceanGate Titan submarine, or if this was that incident in Thailand, the Tham Luang cave rescue, you would have seen tens of thousands of volunteers from an international coalition of countries and intergovernmental agencies rushing to the site to save those people. But when we saw a hundred people that in front of our eyes, we saw them suffocated slowly and dying one minute after the other, the entire world was completely silent, not even a noise."

Zionism is very similar to Serb nationalism,. Exhibit No. 467253

"Suicidal empathy" is basically a repackaging of antisemitic tropes against muslims "Infiltrators", "take over", "parasites", "enemy within", "they hate our values/religion", "incompatible culture"... all of those are centuries-old antisemitic tropes now used against Muslims instead

My father was Syria's Chief Negotiator in peace talks with Israel starting with the Madrid Peace Conference of 1991; I'm quite sure the Moses and the Golan Heights fable was not an argument made under prime ministers Rabin and Barak, nor was the Bible used as a legal argument.

Trump's Board of Snake Oil Salesmen viciously attacked UNRWA in public while meeting its leadership behind closed doors b/c UNRWA is the largest & most indispensable humanitarian organization in Gaza!

New: The Board of Peace says UNRWA has no place in new Gaza. But the agency’s most recent head says that behind the scenes, board members and others have been more open to working with the U.N. agency for Palestinians than it seems. apnews.com/article/lazzarini…

War criminals are not welcome in New York City. I stood alongside a diverse set of Jewish New Yorkers and allies — at several protests today organized by @jvplive, by @truahrabbis & @jstreetdotorg, by @israelispeaceny — to say no to Israel’s ongoing destruction of Gaza, no to settler violence, no to human-made famine, no to U.S. tax dollars bombing entire families, and no to Netanyahu.

The war criminal Netanyahu attempts to distract the world from his war crimes and genocide by attacking @NYCMayor and falsely claiming that I attempted to “protect terrorists.” I take Netanyahu's attack as a badge of honor, for being attacked by someone who has the blood of tens of thousands of Palestinians on his hands is an honor for me, a journalist who lived through hell in Gaza and saw with my own eyes and documented the crimes committed by the bloodthirsty Netanyahu and his extremist government.

We categorically reject Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s accusation, made in his address to the UN General Assembly, that the State of Qatar is conducting a campaign to influence public opinion against Israel. This continuing rhetoric against Qatar is nothing more than an attempt to divert attention from the attrocities committed by his government in the occupied Palestinian territories and their grave humanitarian consequences. Reducing the growing shift in global public opinion, particularly among young people, to allegations of “influence campaigns” is an insult to the awareness and judgment of a generation that is witnessing, in real time and before the entire world, what is taking place on the ground and forming its views accordingly. If Netanyahu and other extremist Israeli politicians, who increasingly find themselves addressing empty halls, want the world to view Israel differently, they should begin by changing their policies, stopping breaches of and respecting international law, and taking responsibility before the people who elected them, rather than searching for scapegoats to blame for Israel’s deteriorating global image. Attempts to hold Qatar, or anyone else, responsible for a global shift in public opinion shaped by what people themselves are witnessing are no longer persuasive. These repeated attacks on Qatar can only be understood as an effort to divert attention from political responsibility for policies and practices on the ground, while exploiting Qatar as part of domestic political calculations.
