>> “We call on the Berlinale to fulfil its moral duty and clearly state its opposition to Israel’s genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes against Palestinians, and completely end its involvement in shielding Israel from criticism and calls for accountability,” it concludes.

The false symmetry of Jewish-Arab partnership [in Israel] (+972 Magazine, 2026-02-11)

https://www.972mag.com/false-symmetry-jewish-arab-partnership-binationalism/
------

>> The partnership or party is often imagined as a neutral space, one in which Jews and Palestinians supposedly engage as equals, share leadership, and jointly articulate a common vision. Yet under conditions of apartheid and genocidal war, and in a space governed by Jewish supremacy ... this conception is not only detached from reality but also reproduces the existing hierarchical power relations it aims to transcend.

>> ... the prevailing argument expressed among Israeli leftist activists, ... that a “Jewish-Arab party” is needed, and that the existing Arab parties are not binational because they are led by Palestinians, merits scrutiny. This argument ignores the settler-colonial historical and political context in which Arab parties in Israel operate, as well as the material and violent conditions that shape their political action...

RE: Palestine Group (New) ＊pls Boost＊

TWIMC - As you may know, the fediverse group for #Palestine interested people "palestine(at)a.gup.pe" is now gone.

There are alternatives such as FediGroups or TagPush, already contacted, but no reaction till now. No wonder they're busy.

But we don't want to wait longer, and it turned out that a Japanese server "fedibird" kindly offered a group account for us:

Palestine_Group (npub1kpt…uw4u)

It functions almost like the late a.gup.pe group, only you need to follow it in order to be boosted, not only to receive the group post.

One other note: the account holder is AK (npub1xyg…yl7t) (AK) and can moderate e.g. delete posts and block accounts if (strictly) needed. Better than 100% automated bot.

You know, it truly would "work" with a certain number of followers, and we hope you all to 1)consider following the new group, and 2)spread this info as broad as possible.

>> The push to recognize a Palestinian state creates the illusion of action, but delays the real remedies: sanctioning and isolating Israel's apartheid regime.

>> Let us not waste another 30 years of Palestinian lives on the partition paradigm — a colonial “solution” to a colonial problem. Israel has long made clear it will never accept a Palestinian state; clinging to the two-state solution is gaslighting on an extraordinary scale, and it has brought us only despair.

>> Recognizing Israel as an apartheid state is the necessary first step toward a future beyond ethnonationalism, rooted in equality, justice, and freedom for all. And it is not symbolic; apartheid is a crime against humanity under international law.

>> Israel’s targeted assassination of six Palestinian media members in the Gaza Strip on August 10 sent shockwaves through the journalism community.

>> Establishment media, however, used these ... as an opportunity to continue parroting the same Zionist talking points that contributed to manufacturing consent for their killings. #FAIR looked at 15 different news outlets’ initial coverage of the murders: the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, #ABC, #CBS, #NBC, #CNN, Fox, #BBC, #Politico, #Newsweek, Associated Press and #Reuters...

>> In a report by Israeli outlet Channel 13 published Thursday, former Biden administration official Matthew Miller said that Israel repeatedly and openly killed ceasefire deals when they were nearing a conclusion. In fact, he said, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu openly admitted to U.S. officials that he wanted to continue fighting in Gaza for “decades.”

>> It … means that the Biden administration was collaborating with Israel to sabotage the deals, ... Advocates for Palestinian rights have long said that it’s clear both the U.S. and Israel never wanted a deal …

>> … Netanyahu has explicitly said that Israel’s attack will not end until Trump’s ethnic cleansing plan to permanently remove all Palestinians from the Gaza Strip has been accomplished. This is not about freeing hostages, this is about a land grab that Israel has been pursuing for generations.

>> It is of course true that the Israeli government doesn’t care about the hostages, but it’s not accurate to say the hostages aren’t a bargaining chip. Some 2.5 million Israelis are estimated to have filled the streets this past Sunday demanding that their government secure a deal to release the hostages — that’s a quarter of the nation’s population. Numbers like that amount to political pressure, even if the Netanyahu regime itself only cares about the land grab…

>> While there may be increasing competition across the West, Germany remains unmatched in its unconditional support for the Israeli state and its brutal repression of anyone who dares to speak out against Israel’s crimes in Palestine. What is going on? In this urgent collection, leading authors ... explore Germany’s pathological commitment to the state of Israel. With essays on topics ranging from the country’s memory culture (Erinnerungskultur) around the Holocaust and German “staatsräson” to the twin phenomena of philo- and antisemitism that permeate contemporary German institutions and the self-destruction of German cultural institutions in the name of defending the Israeli state, this collection provides the most thorough and damning account of German Zionism available today.

>> But on May 31, Biden made a phony proclamation that Israel had agreed to a ceasefire.

>> … #Algeria incredibly backed the Biden plan. The US would of course have vetoed a #UNSC resolution implementing the ICJ orders, but that would have been valuable in getting the General Assembly to step up with a Uniting for Peace resolution to implement the orders.

>> … the Security Council then ridiculously adopted a US resolution on June 10 which made no mention of the Court orders and gave its blessing to the phony “ceasefire proposal”…

>> A growing number of staff argue that the bloc’s failure to exert pressure on Israel while it’s accused of committing war crimes in Gaza makes it impossible for them to perform their duties without breaching EU and international law.

>> EU institutions have imposed “complicity” on employees and violated their “moral and legal obligations, suppressed conscientious resistance and delayed meaningful action,” one official ... told POLITICO.

>> An internal letter seen by POLITICO sent last month to EU leadership by internal pro-Palestinian solidarity group EU Staff for Peace said some forms of protest have been subject to “intimidation” tactics, including alleged manhandling by security officials, unfair termination of contracts and a crackdown on an internal petition...

Infographic | Why Israel's airdrops on Gaza are just an illusion of aid (Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor, 2025-08-12)

>> From 26 July to 11 August (17 days), Israel, with support from other countries, dropped only 1,218 aid packages into Gaza

>> The 1,218 packages dropped in that period equal … a mere 0.4% of what is actually needed.

>> At this rate, it would take 250 days of airdrops to deliver the same amount of aid Gaza requires in a _single_ day

(in the attached graphic is also a mention of “killings“ by certain airdrops)

Debating Israel Supporters Is Pointless, Because They Don't Care About Facts Or Morality (Caitlin’s Newsletter, 2025-08-10)

>> Israel supporters are never, ever engaging in good faith — at least not the ones you’re likely to encounter in online spaces. Their goal is never to communicate or to have a conversation, it’s to advance the information interests of a genocidal apartheid state. ... If you engage them … you’re having a conversation with a psychological operation aimed at manipulating public perception. You’re dumping your mental and emotional energy into a black hole …

>> … don’t waste your time and energy engaging Zionists. They don’t care if anything they’re saying is based on truth and morality, ... Block them and use your energy on normal people who actually care about telling the truth and doing the right thing, so we can actually bring a stop to this nightmare.

A surprise, honestly. 😶

>> German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said on Friday that Berlin would not approve German weapons exports to Israel for use in the Gaza Strip "until further notice."

>> The announcement marks a major change of course for #Germany, which has been one of Israel's staunchest international allies.

>> Merz also said "the German government urges the Israeli government not to take any further steps toward annexing the West Bank."

>> From 2020 to 2024, Germany accounted for about a third of Israel's incoming arms supply…

>> National courts, on the other hand, often don’t face the same resource constraints and can go after perpetrators up and down the chain of command… While states also face their own political pressures, they do not have to perform the ICC’s difficult dance of appeasing its many patrons…

Since October 2023, Israeli authorities have carried out hundreds of strikes on schools sheltering displaced Palestinians, including unlawfully indiscriminate attacks using US munitions, that have killed hundreds of civilians and damaged or destroyed virtually all of Gaza’s schools...
