I suppose a more accurate title would be:

“IDF unsuccessfully tries to distance itself from ‘no return’ remarks about north Gaza evacuees”

Nothing’s going to change.

Not so sure about that. I think change is a constant.

Systemic changes occur despite the narratives we are fed by predominant power systems (that they are super strong and have “logical” linear continuity from prehistoric/ancient times, through god or whatever along those lines).

Look at what happened to the notion of kings around the world. Sure, some are still around but the power they have is not comparable to what their grandparent had, if any.

Or what happened to the soviet block. To my knowledge - nobody expected it to collapse when it did, not even the secret intelligence services of opposing capitalist countries.

So no matter what the future holds, I’d say let’s dare and imagine inclusive, egalitarian, ecological solutions against the predominant narrative of structural despair.

Please do keep in mind that Zionists and Jews are not synonyms. Jews have been opposing Zionism since its inception and keep doing so in large numbers. See also:

Our Approach to Zionism - JVP - Jewish Voice for Peace

Jewish Voice for Peace is guided by a vision of justice, equality and freedom for all people. We unequivocally oppose Zionism because it is counter to those ideals.

May I add that these notes where provided to the NYT by the Israeli military?

So after all the debunked fabricated lies that Israel has spread thanks to the press during the last 12 months, are we supposed to take what the IDF gives in good faith?

U.S. Aid to Israel in Four Charts || Council on Foreign Relations || 31 Mai 2024

Israel has been the largest cumulative recipient of U.S. foreign aid since its founding, receiving about $310 billion (adjusted for inflation) in total economic and military assistance.

I would argue that Zionists started killing children in 1947.

Israel’s siege now blocks 83% of food aid reaching Gaza, new data reveals

New data has revealed the scale of aid obstruction, and the consequential drastic fall in aid entering Gaza. This is driving a humanitarian disaster, with the entire population of Gaza facing hunger and disease, and almost half a million at risk of starvation.

Data analysis by organisations working in Gaza has found that as a consequence of the Israeli government’s obstruction of aid:

• 83% of required food aid does not make it into Gaza, up from 34% in 2023.This reduction means people in Gaza have gone from having an average of two meals a day to just one meal every other day. An estimated 50,000 children aged between 6-59 months urgently require treatment for malnutrition by the end of the year.
• 65% of the insulin required and half of the required blood supply are not available in Gaza.
• Availability of hygiene items has dropped to 15% of the amount available in September 2023. One million women are now going without the hygiene supplies they need.
• Only around 1,500 hospital beds in Gaza remain operational, compared to around 3,500 beds in 2023 which was already well below sufficient to meet the needs of a population of more than 2 million people. By comparison, cities of similar size, such as Chicago and Paris average 5 to 8 times more beds than in Gaza.
• 1.87 million people are in need of shelter with at least 60% of homes destroyed or damaged (January 2024). Yet tents for around just 25,000 people have entered Gaza since May 2024.

The IDF targets hospitals because they WANT to target hospitals.

They even gave a name to it:

Explainer: The Dahiya Doctrine & Israel’s Use of Disproportionate Force

The Dahiya Doctrine is an Israeli military doctrine that calls for the use of massive, disproportionate force and the deliberate targeting of civilians and civilian infrastructure.

Thanks for sharing this cause what he says and what AP reports are quite different. And I’m saying that not being a fan of him, on the contrary.

I don’t understand this logic. You claim that the US is supporting by all means a genocide because it’s election year and out of fear of being called antisemites by the republicans? Therefore, after the elections this genocide will not be supported by the democrats anymore?

I’m sorry, this doesn’t make any sense to me.

I think that if the democrats win this election there is a decent chance the US could start slowly pulling support.

Why do you think that? Did I miss something perhaps? I haven’t seen a hint from democrats during the past year up to now to support this claim. On the contrary, they actively send Israel tones of bombs and money to genocide Palestinians, and no matter what “red lines” the Biden administration puts on the matter, soon after they forget about them. And Harris (if I remember correctly) she said she will continue the same policy.

We must face the hard truth in Gaza: Israel has lost its moral authority - The Hill - 07/18/24

I reviewed thousands of incident reports and tens of thousands of individual data points from several dozen credible organizations, as well as the Israeli military itself, as a part of a nonpartisan task force analyzing Israel’s campaign in Gaza.

Our report, submitted to the Biden administration and briefed to Congress, establishes compelling and credible evidence of Israeli violations of international humanitarian law and U.S. military best practices, utilizing U.S.-provided munitions. It shows how the Israeli military has demonstrated a “systematic disregard for fundamental principles of international law, including recurrent attacks launched despite foreseeably disproportionate harm to civilians.”

It’s the Zionists who are killing children, and what you say is totally antisemitic.

Partially archived link of the article

So you choose to ignore that Israel for almost a year has been committing Genocide towards Palestinians. That this Genocide takes place in OPT (Occupied Palestinian Territories), occupied by Zionists that is, for over 75 years. You choose to ignore that a huge part of this Zionist society is totally supporting the Genocide, and many of them even make fun of it on podcasts and social media while plenty of Israeli support this material.

Instead, you want to shift the topic from Genocide and the support it gets, to Hamas.

Please, don’t overestimate the power of Hasbara / Zionist propaganda.

Ok, tbh the understanding I got from rule 3 is that it was more flexible, in the sense that it says “may be removed”, not “will be removed”, but thank you for taking the time to clarify this.

I understand what you say about the difference of posts and comments.

Reported as a copy/paste of a Mondoweiss article

Not too sure I understand to which rule this report would be based on anyway. And btw Mondoweiss is mentioned at the very top of the article. It’s the same author, different outlets. Not a secret.

I think I see what you mean. Still, I believe the priority is for this Genocide to be stopped and Israeli people have the duty I would say, to act towards this direction. General strikes that last long can be a great tool for political pressure.

It looks like it’s a one-day strike.

I hope many people participate, so that it goes on until a permanent ceasefire is achieved.
