WFP Confirms Looting of Aid Trucks After Israel Kills 6 Police Escorts in Gaza - Quds News Network (2025-05-23)

https://qudsnen.co/wfp-confirms-looting-of-aid-trucks-after-israel-kills-6-police-escorts-in-gaza/
------

>> According to Gaza’s media office and eyewitnesses, a police unit was securing the trucks when they encountered a group of looters. As the officers tried to stop the chaos, Israeli warplanes struck the area with multiple missiles, killing six officers and injuring 20 others. The convoy was on its way to a WFP warehouse in Deir al-Balah.

>> Following the airstrike and the loss of security, looters stormed the trucks and stole the aid, the #WFP confirmed in an official statement.

Stand With Logan Rozos: Sign Attorney Faisal Kutty's Global Letter to NYU - Action Network

https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/letter-to-nyu-re-loganrozos/
———

>> New York University is withholding Logan Rozos' diploma.

>> Now lawyer and law professor Faisal Kutty has sent a letter calling on NYU …

Scroll far down to find the full letter.

“... I am deeply disturbed by New York University’s decision to withhold the diploma of Gallatin valedictorian Logan Rozos following his brief but courageous acknowledgment of the ongoing atrocities in Palestine during his commencement address.

“There are moments in history when institutions are tested—not for their administrative efficiency or procedural compliance—but for their moral clarity. This was one such moment, and NYU failed.

“The notion that Mr. Rozos committed some form of institutional betrayal by deviating from an approved speech is both legally weak and ethically shameful…”

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…

‘Render it unusable’: Israel’s mission of total urban destruction (+972 Magazine, 2025-05-15)

>> While airstrikes account for mass casualties, bulldozers and explosives are flattening Gaza from the ground — what soldiers say is a systematic campaign to make the Strip unlivable, a joint investigation reveals.

>> Y., a soldier who recently returned from reserve duty in Rafah, described the army’s demolition methods to +972 Magazine and Local Call. “I secured four or five bulldozers [from another unit], and they demolished 60 houses per day. A one or two story house, they take down within an hour; a three or four-story house takes a bit longer,” he said. “The official mission was to open a logistical route for maneuvering, but in practice, the bulldozers were simply destroying homes. The southeastern part of Rafah is completely destroyed. The horizon is flat. There is no city.”

Skimmed through the article, despite its title, the issue is not about AOC alone, the fact that

“Representatives Cori Bush of Missouri, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan were the only Democrats to vote no on the resolution”

has more weight, imho.

… Our solidarity with Palestinians is already exposing us to police violence, and the antisemitism of those who would force us to be Zionists blends perfectly with the antisemitism of those who would put us in concentration camps.

Instead of uniting society in the fight against all discrimination, any such resolution will divide minorities by focusing only on one. But the present resolution goes much further, demanding that the whole of German society accept the state’s support for Israel and its countless documented crimes, and that those who resist this doctrine of genocide should be punished by all available means, ...

The call of “never again” was meant as a warning against the very crimes being perpetrated by Israel in Palestine, yet this resolution desecrates it by using it for a racist agenda that promotes rather than prevents antisemitism, and harms Jews along with other minorities. It must be opposed in every possible way.

https://juedische-stimme.de/en_US//j%C3%BCdische-organisationen-weltweit-verurteilen-die-bundestagsresolution-zu-antisemitismus

Despite claiming that freedom of speech, art and science must be protected, the resolution paves the way for an even greater stifling of those freedoms than has already been widespread, especially since October 2023. All major parties are now officially in favour of preventing funding for any project challenging the pro-Israel consensus and of silencing, uninviting, dismissing or even deporting anyone associated with such activities. The centrality of such funding gives the state immense powers of censorship, which inevitably lead to increasing self-censorship by those who wish to avoid repression. Given the rightward shift of German society and politics, it will not take long for such tools to fall into the hands of fascists. We already see the far right cynically using philosemitism (itself a racist phenomenon) as a cover for racism, and we know all too well that the people itching to expel Muslims will not hesitate to do the same with Jews…

… The writings by scholars criticizing the definition are too many to mention, and even one of its main authors, Kenneth Stern, has expressed his dismay at the use of the definition to stifle opposition to Israeli policies. Similarly, experts from the legal, cultural and academic fields, have warned against this resolution. And, like the Bundestag’s infamous anti-BDS resolution of 2019, the new one exploits its status as a non-binding statement to make demands that would be blatantly unconstitutional in actual legislation. As the 2019 resolution demonstrated, the repressive obedience found in German institutions is sufficient to turn even a text with no legal force into a de facto law, relying on the chilling effect that accompanies any potential accusation of antisemitism. And while that resolution called for combatting the boycott movement, the present one seeks to outlaw it.

While those most vulnerable to the policies affirmed and demanded in this resolution are migrants of colour and refugees, its cynical weaponization of antisemitism also makes hostages of all Jews, whose safety is used as a pretext for the persecution of other minorities. We reject the conflation of our identity with the settler colonial ideology of Zionism and the genocidal actions of Israel, which we condemn as strongly as do the Palestinians whom it oppresses and destroys, with whom we stand in lasting solidarity. This conflation is antisemitic in itself.

As in past resolutions and declarations, the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s (IHRA) Working Definition of Antisemitism is taken as the gold standard in determining how antisemitism should be understood. …

https://juedische-stimme.de/en_US//j%C3%BCdische-organisationen-weltweit-verurteilen-die-bundestagsresolution-zu-antisemitismus

The resolution reaffirms the approach […] , focusing on opposition to Israel’s crimes as the most important site of antisemitism. This is used to place migrants and refugees, especially Arabs and Muslims, under particular suspicion of antisemitism, along with the sparse elements of the political left that support their rights. It is consistent with this that the parties of the supposed political centre were supported enthusiastically by the fascist AfD (…), a party that has formulated a concrete plan to “remigrate” 2 million migrants from Germany to North Africa and has a higher approval rating than any of the governing parties; it expressed its joy… […] In joining forces with the fascists to support a resolution that calls for stricter immigration and citizenship guidelines based on attitudes towards Israel, all major parliamentary parties have clearly signalled their commitment to mass deportation and increasingly normalized racism.

While paying lip service to “all the facets” of Jewish life, the resolution narrows that life down to one element: the state of Israel. A reminder of Germany’s responsibility after the crimes of the Holocaust is directly followed in the text by a reference to the attack of October 7th 2023 from the Gaza Strip, which resulted from decades of Israel’s dispossession, oppression and murder of Palestinians and triggered a genocidal onslaught that has now lasted for over a year. Germany has been an accomplice in this genocide from the start through unceasing military and political assistance, becoming the second-biggest arms supplier and even promising its support for Israel in the genocide lawsuit initiated by South Africa at the International Court of Justice in The Hague.
