Ooooo! The #IsraelLobby is really gonna be pissed off with this ⤵️ being published!

“#UN committee releases exhaustive study on the legality of #Israel’s occupation: ‘The study is the most comprehensive and persuasive analysis of why the Israel #occupation has now become illegal,’ says former UN Special Rapporteur Michael Lynk. ‘It will be the intellectual and political touchstone on #Palestine and international law for some time.’”

by Jeff Wright in @mondoweiss

“Last week, the UN Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People (CEIRPP) issued a study two years in the making: ‘The Legality of the #Israeli #Occupation of the #OccupiedTerritories, Including East #Jerusalem.’”

“Following a finding of #illegality, the study concludes that, according to international law:

the consequences should be the immediate, unconditional and total withdrawal of Israel’s military forces; the withdrawal of colonial settlers; and the dismantling of the military administrative regime, with clear instructions that withdrawal of breach of an internationally wrongful act is not subject to negotiation. Full and commensurate reparations should be accorded to the affected Palestinian individuals, corporations and entities for the generational harm caused by Israel’s land and property appropriations, house demolitions, pillage of natural resources, denial of return, and other war crimes against humanity orchestrated for the colonialist, annexationists aims of an illegal occupant.”

“New #Jewish organization commits to fighting #Zionist institutions”

by Jews Against White Supremacy in @mondoweiss

“Jews Against #WhiteSupremacy seeks to educate and radically transform #Jewish communities around the world while challenging #settlercolonialism and fighting for a free #Palestine.”

“#JAWS is an explicitly #AntiZionist Jewish organization dedicated to fighting Zionist Jewish institutions. As per their charter, JAWS “exist(s) to fight for the liberation of Palestine by any means possible. We vehemently oppose the Zionist settler colonial project of Israel and are against all forms of settler colonialism.”

This growing organization, with a presence in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, and Indonesia, prioritizes internationalism at the forefront of its organizing.

“We strongly believe there is a need for a Jewish anti-Zionist organization such as ours which specifically focuses on challenging Jewish Zionist institutions and fighting Zionism in our community at its most pervasive core,” says organizer M. Wisnefsky “As Jews for whom the Zionist settler colonial project is being committed in our name we have a specific duty to fight these institutions which have been responsible for actively perpetuating a #genocide in Palestine and who claim to represent us.”

“Judge acquits two #Palestine Action protesters who shut down a #drone factory because their actions were ‘proportionate’”

By Steve Topple in @thecanaryuk

#A judge has acquitted two #PalestineAction activists after they blockade the entrance to a drone engine-making factory that supplies #ElbitSystems, #Israel’s largest privately owned arms company. Crucially, the judge let them off using a precedent of proportionality versus what they were protesting – that is, the pair’s actions were reasonable compared to what the drones would have done in the #OccupiedTerritories.

Back in September 2022, Jasmine and Iola were protesting at #UAVEngines Ltd, which is owned by #Elbit Systems. This was part of an ongoing activist camp at the site in #Shenstone. #UAV specialises in making engines for combat drones.

Palestine Action said in a press release that:

Elbit openly market these as ‘battle-tested’ on the Palestinian population. The #Hermes450 aircraft has been used to surveil and attack the people of #Gaza for over a decade, decimating thousands of lives.”

#ApartheidIsrael was already one of the most prolific engines for the global military, permanent war, surveillance & death industry …. and then this:

“#Amazon and #Google: partners in Israeli Apartheid”

via Jonathan K Cook in @intifada (#ElectronicIntifada)

“Getting either Amazon or Google to honor their public commitments to ethical behavior by withdrawing from Project #Nimbus may prove much harder – and not only because of the contractual obligations Israel has insisted on.

#Israel has become too integral to the global #surveillance and war industries for any tech giant to risk antagonizing it. With profits galore to be derived from closer collaboration with the military industrial complex, the pressure will be on to forge closer bonds with Israel, whatever its human rights record.

And with the #IsraelLobby
deeply ensconced in Western capitals, the tech corporations will not wish to risk the reputational damage of being tarred as anti-Semitic for boycotting Israel.

Pressure may be mounting on many companies to distance themselves from Israel over its occupation and apartheid policies. But for Amazon and Google it is those very practices of occupation and #Apartheid that are a tech seam waiting to be mined.”

At least five Palestinians have been killed by an ‘Israeli’ military assault on the city of Jericho in the occupied West Bank.

The city has been under siege for the last week, with ‘Israeli’ forces using military checkpoints to restrict the movement of residents and conducting repeated raids on the city, injuring people with live ammunition.

The ‘Israeli’ collective punishment and military aggression against the Palestinian residents of Jericho is unacceptable. At least 41 Palestinians have been killed by ‘Israeli’ violence and fire this year.

The ‘Israeli’ regime of oppression must end.

Support Palestinian Resistance by any means necessary.

This is so ludicrous I don't know where to begin. My 2nd book will focus on the management of monies generated via #Indigenous dispossession, much of which funded #SettlerColonialism. Angela Tozer at UNB also has work (published and en route) on #FirstNations lands as collateral for funding the infrastructure of #colonialism in #Canada. #histodons #Ontario #OnPoli #CdnPoli #CdnHist

For a US-focsed source of inspiration: https://www.landgrabu.org/

My heart is heavy with the latest massacre ‘Israel’ has committed against the Palestinian People. The Palestinian People have had to endure massacre after massacre led by the settler-colonialist entity know as ‘Israel’ for the last 76+ years.

Palestinians have had to endure genocide, ethnic cleansing, oppression, apartheid, war planes, and ‘Israeli’ military death squads.

‘Israel’ has murdered 31 Palestinian civilians including women and children in under a month. Yet, the moment a Palestinian snaps and fights the settler-colonialist entity back, the world then paints the Palestinian People as the aggressors and the global nuclear superpower ‘Israel’ as the victim.

One entity is a settler-colonialist occupation. The other is the indigenous peoples fighting for their right to live, fighting for their freedom, fighting the genocide that’s being enacted against them by the colonizers.

Palestinian Resistance to the colonialist entity is not to be confused with ‘Israeli’ colonizer violence.

Support the Palestinian Peoples’ right to resist ethnic cleansing and genocide. Support Palestinian Resistance.
