Fascist Barbarian Israelites Bomb Gazans whilst the world looks on and excuses



Philippe Weber
Tim Veater you might be interested to know that "Israelite" means "Jew". You may criticize the Israelians as you wish, even in preposterous words. Your formulation, however, is basely antisemitic.

    Philippe Weber Oh the old, old TROPE. I am not intrinsically against jews, just their murderous, assassinating, apartheid, discriminating ways in israel/palestine, though I agree it is very difficult to separate the two.
    • Philippe Weber
      Then say israeli not israelite . The second Word means Jew. If you say israƩlite it's antisemitic. If you say israeli it's anti israel. Even If the comparison you make on your site with the Shoah is absurde and disgusting. The old trope is yours, man.

      Philippe Weber It is very hard to face up to the evil perpetrated by your own kind isn't it Philippe. Some have managed it without hiding behind the excuse of 'anti-Semitism' or the fact that a group identified by history and religion apes the Nazis which for seventy or eighty years been the justification for all that is wrong with israel. Instead of whining about the use of words and their meaning, why not address the issue of the killing of innocent children without cause? There is a term for your state of mind, it is called 'cognitive dissonance'. It is a brave man who addresses it.

Dear Tim --

Israeli forces agreed to a ceasefire late Sunday night, after 16 Palestinian children in Gaza had been killed. Then, Israeli forces shot and killed two 16-year-old Palestinian boys in the occupied West Bank barely more than a day later. 

Hussein Jamal Hussein Taha, 16, was shot and killed by Israeli forces while shopping for groceries with his father and younger brother in Nablus on Tuesday morning. A few hours later in Hebron, 16-year-old Momen Yasin Mohammad Joude Jaber was shot dead with a live round to the chest with by an Israeli soldier.

These killings come just hours after a brutal Israeli military offensive on the Gaza Strip that resulted in the deaths of 16 Palestinian children ranging in age from three to 16 years old. Despite agreeing to a ceasefire, the killings have not stopped. 

Palestinian children in Gaza, Nablus, Hebron, and elsewhere deserve to grow up. We won't stop advocating for accountability for their killings, no matter how long it takes.

In solidarity,

Following from: 

Apparently there is a ceasefire which means that Israel agreed to stop massacring innocent civilians in Gaza. It suffered no injuries or casualties from the rocket fire from the liberation movements in Gaza against Israel’s illegal occupation.
Once again Israel had shown the world it can murder the captive besieged population it is illegally occupying and whose land it is stealing without being held to account. It was fully supported by its colonial government partners in that it has the right to defend itself, despite this was an act of aggression to help Yair Lapid win brownie points for his upcoming election to woo, brainwashed, lunatic Israeli society, blood thirsty for Palestine genocide, ethnic cleansing and crimes.
If it’s not clear enough. This “conflict” had zero Israeli casualties, but a few panic attacks and on the other side, 43 Palestinian murders — civilians, families, 15 children, a 76 year old woman going to her son’s wedding, children and people in refugee camps, and 311 casualties, many of them who lost limbs, on an already traumatized population of mostly very poor people barely able to feed and sustain themselves, further traumatized who have not yet healed from last May, held captive in the world’s largest open air prison subjected to unfathomable crimes and atrocities which the world never gets to hear about, because they are covered up by mainstream media.
The Jews in the concentration camps asked the world when you saw and knew what was happening to us, why didn’t you speak out against it, why didn’t you try to stop the crimes, why didn’t you try to save us? Now the same fascist force and ideology is in control of Israel and the people of Palestine are asking the same. Where is humanity? Where is humanity for the Afghans and Middle Easterners being bombed from the US/NATO illegal wars of aggression that destroyed their countries and killed 6M. The world supports Ukraine but are the blue eyed, light haired and light skinny members of the human race the only ones whose lives matter?
That little episode by Yair Lapid for his election killing 43 people, maimed 311+, disrupted many lives, destroyed many homes and set back many people barely able to survive. This is what the world is supporting? Shame. Shame on humanity. Shame for closing your eyes. I’m ashamed to belong to the human race.

RIP Momen Yasin Mohammad Joude Jaber, aged 16, murdered by apartheid Israel's soldiers yesterday in Hebron. He was shot in the chest with live ammunition.
Momen is the 36th Palestinian child murdered by Israel this year. Impunity enables this endless killing of Palestinians. #FreePalestine

Enough is enough. Ceasefire or not, it is time to #FreeGaza
Dear Ty,
Last week, Israel waged another war on Palestinians in Gaza. Over the span of three days, Israel killed forty-five Palestinians, including sixteen children, and injured 350.
Israel has killed and injured thousands of Palestinian civilians since it imposed its illegal siege on Gaza 15 years ago. Although we are relieved to see another ceasefire go into effect, this is not the time to stop advocating for a #FreeGaza. Israel's blockade continues to destroy Palestinian lives in Gaza. Israel’s occupation forces continue to kill Palestinians in the West Bank, including 4 this week alone.
Let’s make our voices heard: the U.S. government must investigate Israeli crimes and stop supplying Israel with weapons. Rather than rewarding Israel’s criminal behavior, our government must immediately bar Israel from joining the Visa Waiver Program.
Take action today to ask your Members of Congress to request an immediate investigation on whether U.S. funding contributed to or supported Israel’s crimes in Gaza last week. Our government should stop sending weapons to Israel not only because that is immoral but also because it is illegal under US law to supply abusive regimes with weapons that they use to commit war crimes.
Israel’s discriminatory practices also make it simply ineligible to join the Visa Waiver Program. For years Israel has showcased systematic discriminatory practices resulting in the harassment and denial of entry for countless Americans of particular ethnic and religious backgrounds. Admitting Israel to the program after last week’s bloodshed in Gaza is simply unconscionable.



Dear Tim --




Early this morning, Israeli forces raided our headquarters. More than a dozen Israeli soldiers forced open the office’s locked front door and removed a computer, photocopier, printer, and client files related to Palestinian child detainees represented by DCIP’s lawyers in Israel’s military courts. They exited the office after 45 minutes, welding shut the entry door and leaving a notice taped to the door ordering the office closed declaring DCIP an illegal organization. 

Read the full news alert »

Let's be clear: Sealing and closing our office door will not silence us. We reject the Israeli designation of DCIP as a "terrorist" organization and all repressive tactics aimed at eliminating our work protecting and defending the rights of Palestinian children. We urgently need the international community to show their solidarity with Palestinian civil society and denounce this serious escalation against Palestinian human rights defenders.

Call for accountability on social media:

Facebook

Twitter

Instagram

Israeli forces also raided the offices of the five other Palestinian civil society organizations criminalized by the Israeli government—Al Haq, Addameer, Bisan Center for Research and Development, the Union of Agricultural Work Committees, and the Union of Palestinian Women Committees. 

This raid is the most recent move in a years-long campaign of repression against DCIP and our work exposing Israeli violations of Palestinian children's rights. Thank you for standing by our side as we challenge these repressive actions by Israeli authorities and continue advocating for Palestinian children.

In solidarity,

Brad Parker

But not quite yet


As I closer come to death

I consider my last breath,

All the ones who gone before

Beckon me towards the door.

Are constantly about my head

Reminding me that they are dead.

Weekly I review their names

In the pages of the Times.

All the people good and great

Who I wished to emulate,

All are gone are passed away

To no longer bright the day.

I with them will join them soon,

Enter in a darkened room

Or perhaps a bright light I shall see,

Welcoming eternity.

What will happen no one knows,

Iron is shaped by hammer blows,

Beaten battered blacksmith forged,

Something different re-emerged.

Heart will stop its beating here,

Brain will disengage the fear,

Eternal soul will onward fly,

To some palace in the sky.

Or perhaps more likely on that day,

 I will simply slip away

And few will know and less will care

That I have passed my time down here.

No fine obituary in the Times for me,

Anonymous passing I shall be,

Somewhat annoyed I was not exempt,

From this damned inconvenient detriment.

Surprised that it should come to this,

A sad farewell and clammy kiss,

For nothing ventured nothing gained,

A quiet life I entertained.

With nothing striking nothing brave,

He drowned at sea without a wave,

And now he's gone and been replaced

By thousands more who've been displaced,

By war or want or flood or famine,

To struggle on and on and on - I imagine.
