Reserve für die Heimatfront

Ob aus bürgerrechtlicher Perspektive mit Blick auf die Ausweitung der Fähigkeiten und Kompetenzen der Bundeswehr im Inland, aus antifaschistischer Perspektive mit Blick auf neue Zugänge zu Strukturen und Waffen der Bundeswehr für rechtes Klientel oder aus friedenspolitischer Perspektive mit Blick auf Rekrutierung und die Rückkehr zu Strukturen aus dem letzten Kalten Krieg: die Wiederbelebung des Heimatschutzes der Bundeswehr ist ein deutlicher Beleg dafür, dass autoritäre Tendenzen in der Innenpolitik und die aktuelle Aufrüstungspolitik kaum voneinander zu trennen sind.

The Joint List MKs held a press conference at the site during which Odeh expressed full support for the East Jerusalem Palestinians’ struggle: “The main point is there’s an occupation. As long as there is an occupation, there will be resistance.” Odeh continued, “This resistance becomes sharpened during periods of provocation, such as what happened over the past month,” relating to the imminent evictions of eight Palestinian families from Sheikh Jarrah. “Netanyahu took pride in his normalization of diplomatic ties with some Arab countries. But the youth of Jerusalem confirm yet again that the fundamental issue is the Palestinian cause… Anyone who wants live in peace and security must see themselves as part of the just cause of East Jerusalem Palestinians.”

Let me say it loud & clear: #Netanyahu is a narcissistic sociopath. He does not care if any of us lives or die as long as he has enough power to avoid incarceration. This escalation was carefully planned to thwart the negotiations between Mansour Abbas (United Arab List) & Lapid.

Abbas, ideologically is a part of the Muslim Brotherhood.
He cannot aid ti form a government which will involve itself in a war on his own people in #Gaza and one of the most sacred places to Islam.

Itamar Ben-Gvir, a convicted terrorist and now, shamefully, a member of the Knesset, has disclosed he told #Netanyahu that if there will be a war in #Gaza, Lapid won‘t be able to form a government.
Netanyahu‘s propagandists have said roughly the same, though not directly.

It‘s also important 4folks 2remember that the Israeli government led by PM Netanyahu doesn‘t speak 4even half of Israeli voters & Hamas doesn‘t speak 4even half of Palestinian voters. Both people are casualties in a conflict caused by divisive leaders who don‘t care about them

.. The current violence emboldens Hamas and bolsters Bibi Netanyahu; all to the detriment of the Israeli and Palestinian people. It’s terrible.

Gaza Flare-up: Teen, Father Killed in City of Lod as Central Israel Comes Under Gaza Rocket Attack

Nadine and Khalil Awaad, the father and daughter who were killed during rocket attacks on their village of Dhamas near Lod, had no way of defending themselves from the rocket fire. Like the other homes in their village, they had no bomb shelter. Their relative, Ismail Arafat, lives there as well and has been part of leading the struggle for recognition of the village.

“We have nowhere to go. We don’t have a bomb shelter here for everyone. For the Thai [migrant] workers they built shelters, but we were not allowed because we are not humans. Nadine and Khalil were in the middle of breakfast before fasting. It seems that he opened the door and that’s how he was hit.”

I am extremely concerned by the growing conflict in Israel and Palestine. Once again we are seeing how the irresponsible actions of government-allied right-wing extremists in Jerusalem can escalate quickly into devastating war.

Israeli children should not have to spend the night scared in bomb shelters, as many are doing tonight. Palestinian children should not have to grow up under the constant violence and oppression of occupation, as so many do, and have done.

The United States must call for an immediate cease-fire and an end to provocative and illegal settlement activity. And we must also recommit to working with Israelis and Palestinians to finally end this conflict.

12.05.2021 - 07:03 [ Tariq Bhatti / Twitter ]

I‘m surprised this isn‘t being said more often. This looks like a wag the dog war: Bibi fails to form a government, so is now taking provocative actions against Palestinians to undermine Abbas‘s endorsement of a Lapid-Bennett coalition.

The Jerusalem uprising had no Hamas or Fatah leadership. Both groups want to capitalize on it and gain some popularity, knowing that their actions will hurt those they claim to want to help most.
