After Denying Massacring Civilians Seeking Aid, Israel Routinely Massacres Civilians Seeking Aid (Caitlin’s Newsletter, 2025-06-11)

https://www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/after-denying-massacring-civilians
———

>> Since May 27, some 160 people have reportedly been killed in massacres at these #GHF sites, which people in Gaza are reportedly beginning to refer to as a “death trap”.

>> But, again, … Israel and its spinmeisters were crying antisemitic blood libel at the very suggestion that #IDF troops would fire upon people trying to obtain food.

>> Even without the CNN report [https://edition.cnn.com/2025/06/04/middleeast/israel-military-gaza-aid-shooting-intl-invs], Israel’s own actions since June 1 have proved that Israeli forces do indeed deliberately fire upon starving civilians seeking humanitarian aid. Israel lied. Again.

>> … They’ve been caught lying so many times that there is no reason to take any of their denials seriously.

>> Speaking upon arrival in Paris en route to her home country of Sweden, Thunberg called for the release of the other activists who were detained aboard the Madleen...

>> ...The activists were held separately and some had trouble accessing lawyers, she added.

>> Asked why she agreed to deportation, she said, “Why would I want to stay in an Israeli prison more than necessary?”

>> Thunberg called on supporters to ask their governments “to demand not only humanitarian aid being let into Gaza but most importantly an end to the occupation and an end to the systemic oppression and violence that Palestinians are facing on an everyday basis.”..

Greenpeace calls for international action to release the Madleen aid vessel - Greenpeace International (2025-06-09)

>> #Greenpeace demands:

• An immediate, unconditional and permanent ceasefire to halt the assault on civilians and the environment.
• The release by Hamas of all hostages.
• The release by Israel of all illegally detained Palestinians.
• The imposition of targeted sanctions and a comprehensive arms embargo, enforced by the international community.
• The unhindered delivery of aid by the UN and other humanitarian organisations.
• An end to the illegal occupation of Palestine.

>> If the international community continues to stand-by without taking concrete action as ethnic cleansing, war crimes and crimes against humanity mount, it will have to answer for aiding and abetting a genocide. The time to act is now!

There are clear laws on enforcing blockades – Israel’s interception of the Madleen raises serious questions (The Conversation, 2025-06-10)

>> International law also strongly protects the freedom of navigation, particularly in international waters ...

>> There are only a few exceptions when a country can lawfully stop a foreign ship in international waters ...

>> international humanitarian law, … protects civilians during conflict. This protection extends to people delivering humanitarian aid, so long as they do not directly take part in hostilities.

>> Bringing aid to civilians, even if politically controversial, does not meet this legal threshold [to be considered directly participating in hostilities]. As a result, the #Madleen’s passengers remain protected civilians and should not be treated as combatants or detained arbitrarily…

>> …#Madleen, carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza, has been attacked/forcibly intercepted by the Israeli military at 3:02 am CET in international waters at 31.95236° N, 32.38880° E. The ship was unlawfully boarded, its unarmed civilian crew abducted, and its life-saving cargo … confiscated.

>> “Israel has no legal authority to detain international volunteers aboard the Madleen … These volunteers are not subject to Israeli jurisdiction and cannot be criminalized for delivering aid or challenging an illegal blockade—their detention is arbitrary, unlawful, and must end immediately.”

Conference to recognise Palestinian state to weaken scope of its ambition, diplomats say | Palestinian territories | The Guardian (2025-06-07)

>> UK, France and other western states will not recognise Palestine at New York meeting, instead focusing on agreeing steps towards it

>> A planned conference in New York this month that supporters of Palestine had hoped would push western governments to recognise a Palestinian state has weakened its ambition and will instead hope to agree on steps towards recognition, diplomats have said.

>> The change to the aims of the conference, due to be held between 17 and 20 June, marks a retreat from an earlier vision that it would mark a joint declaration of recognition of Palestine as a state by a large group of countries, including permanent UN security council members France and the UK.

In Haifa, ‘coexistence’ requires silence about Israeli war crimes (Ghousoon Bisharat | +972 Magazine, 2025-06-06)

A report from #Haifa, "a mixed Jewish-Palestinian city". Do click ⬆️ and read the whole article.

>> Last Saturday, I joined thousands in the streets to protest the genocide. But the ensuing backlash has made me question whether I'm welcome in my own city.

>> I would like to start with a confession: this was the first time I joined a demonstration against Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza...

>> The demonstration was organized by the Peace Partnership, a broad coalition of dozens of organizations and political parties ...

>> The backbone of this coalition is the Democratic Front for Peace and Equality (Hadash/Al-Jabha), the only Arab-Jewish party in Israel, though the vast majority of its members and voters are Palestinian citizens of Israel.

Police pressure forces venue change for Francesca Albanese Berlin event: URGENT CALL to defend free speech - DiEM25 (2025-02-18)

https://diem25.org/police-pressure-forces-venue-change-for-francesca-albanese-berlin-event/
———

“In a deeply concerning escalation, the organisers of ‘Reclaiming the Discourse: Palestine, Justice, and Truth’ … are facing ruthless attacks on their fundamental rights to freedom of speech, assembly, and expression.

“The venue, Kühlhaus Berlin, faced immense pressure from German politicians and the Berlin police to cancel the event.“

“German authorities, already responsible for canceling two events featuring #FrancescaAlbanese, are now escalating their efforts to silence her voice even further. Now, Berlin authorities are ratcheting up their efforts to quash this crucial conversation, putting the organisers and panelists under extreme pressure and threatening disruption through overwhelming riot police presence ...”

Open letter to the Mayor and Senator for Science of the State Berlin, on the political pressure put upon the Free University of Berlin to cancel Francesca Albanese and Eyal Weizman, signed by Michael Barenboim, Christine Binzel and Hanna Kienzler.
------

"... With your actions, you are contributing to the continuation of the delegitimization and defamation campaign against the UN Special Rapporteur. As early as December 2022, experts and scholars felt compelled to write a statement condemning the attacks on Ms. Albanese... At the end of last year, 50 (!) Jewish organizations signed another statement expressing their support for Ms Albanese. The delegitimization campaign you support is part of a broader campaign by the far-right Israeli government and its supporters against the UN as a whole."

Poll: 70% of Israelis support second phase of hostage-ceasefire deal | The Times of Israel (2025-02-08)

https://www.timesofisrael.com/poll-70-of-israelis-support-second-phase-of-hostage-ceasefire-deal/amp/
———
(The poll cited above)

“Seventy percent of the Israeli public is in favor of continuing to the second phase of the hostage release and ceasefire deal with Hamas, according to a television poll aired Friday [Channel 12 news], which found a nearly identical figure backs US President Donald Trump’s proposal to relocate Palestinians outside the Gaza Strip.”

“The survey also asked Israelis if they are for or against Trump’s plan to move Palestinians out of Gaza, with 69% in favor and 18% opposed. The remaining respondents did not know.”

“Despite the plan’s popularity, half of respondents say they don’t believe it will ultimately come to fruition, compared to 36% who think it will.”

Seems like the filmmakers are now organising several independent screenings through USA. (Or better, urged to do so.)
If you have some information, pls share.

A Textbook Case of Genocide: Israel has been explicit about what it’s carrying out in Gaza. Why isn’t the world listening? (Raz Segal | Jewish Currents, 2023-10-13)

https://jewishcurrents.org/a-textbook-case-of-genocide
------
Note this analysis was issued on Oct 13th of 2023 . Respect.

"Israel’s campaign to displace Gazans—and potentially expel them altogether into Egypt—is yet another chapter in the Nakba,... But the assault on Gaza can also be understood in other terms: as a textbook case of genocide unfolding in front of our eyes. I say this as a scholar of genocide, who has spent many years writing about Israeli mass violence against Palestinians..."

"Indeed, Israel’s genocidal assault on Gaza is quite explicit, open, and unashamed... And those of us watching around the world are derelict in our responsibility to prevent them from doing so."
