Vice-President of the Spanish government: We demand the withdrawal of our ambassador to #Israel to pressure its government due to the #Gaza attacks and the prevention of aid.

Ken Klippenstein - I’ve obtained the alleged manifesto written by Elias Rodriguez, suspect in the killing of two Israeli Embassy staffers in Washington, DC on Wednesday.

I believe the document to be authentic for several reasons, including the fact that it is signed by Rodriguez and timestamped well before he was named by law enforcement or any media. I am publishing it here not to glorify the violence — which I find abhorrent and condemn — but so the public can better understand the truth of what happened.

Israeli protesters were filmed blocking aid deliveries to Gaza through the Karam Abu Salem crossing.

A video showed lorries lined up on the road as Iraells stood in front of them in an attempt to stop them from crossing.

First time in history that the 'victim' is the one laying siege and preventing baby formula to enter besieged territories.

"He told the network that the “obvious appearance” of the war on #Gaza is that "thousands of innocent #Palestinians are being killed, as well as many #Israeli soldiers," adding that "from every point of view, this is obnoxious and outrageous."

"“No aid has entered the Gaza Strip since 2 March,” said Nahed Shuhibar, head of Gaza’s Private Transport Association, in an interview with Alaraby TV.

“Aid lorries are still stuck at the Karem Abu Salem crossing.”"

"The celebrations at smaller graduation ceremonies on Tuesday were also punctuated by anger directed at Columbia administrators. At the graduation for Columbia College, the university’s main undergraduate school, some students repeatedly interrupted Ms. Shipman’s remarks with loud jeers. At one point, they chanted “Free Mahmoud.”"

Can we at least stop selling them weapons and putting sanctions on their leaders?

Or it is too much to ask?

""The world is judging," Lammy said. "History will judge them [the #Israeli government]. Blocking aid, expanding the war, dismissing the concerns of your friends and partners. This is indefensible and it must stop.""

A German leftist MP called out during chancellor’s speech “it’s a genocide”.

#Germany's new chancellor Friedrich Merz gave his first government statement on 14 May. As he referred to “the war in Gaza”, there was an interrupting call from among the Left Party faction: “It’s not a war, it’s a genocide (Es gibt keinen Krieg, es gibt einen Genozid)”.

Soon after the speech was finished the president of the Bundestag Julia Klöckner rushed to reprove it as “a relativization of Holocaust” and not to be allowed, without identifying the caller.

Lessons of a Weimar Anti-Fascist in Palestine | Barry Yourgrau (The Nation, 2024-09-03)

>> After my father fled Nazi Germany in 1933, he witnessed a toxic new nationalism rising among Jews in Palestine—and was silenced for trying to warn of its dangers.

>> … he published a controversial German-language political and cultural weekly called Orient, ... Orient offers a fascinating window into the forces already stirring there, as well as the travails of some of its German Jewish refugees. After almost a year of being the target of constant hostility …, Orient was finally silenced when a bomb blew its print shop to pieces.

>> … the story of my father’s exile and his milieu … evokes a dark, internecine version of the currents swirling toward Israel’s birth, currents that have swept through the decades to today’s horrors in Gaza and the West Bank…

"Two days after Benjamin Netanyahu announced he was lifting the siege of #Gaza, #Israel is still blocking food from reaching starving #Palestinians, the #UN has said, as the leader of the country’s centre-left Democrats party said his country was becoming a pariah nation that “kills babies as a hobby”.

Only five trucks of aid had reached Gaza by Tuesday afternoon and aid workers had not been given permission to distribute even that token shipment..."
