The Gaza-ification of the West Bank

(November 1, 2023)

And also just to be very clear, everything that I’ve been describing, all of these various mechanisms that the state has been using, are backed by Israeli courts, and backed by the Israeli legal system. This is not some random phenomena that is happening uniquely to a single unlucky community far from the eyes of the state. On the contrary, this is part of an ongoing Israeli state project of trying to push, to cleanse, as many Palestinians out of Area C, using all available state mechanisms in order to accomplish this goal. (…)

There are checkpoints. There are threats. And all this goes on for years. And yet somehow you managed to stay on the land and make a living and try to raise a family under these conditions. And that in and of itself is horrific and criminal and appalling, and also happens in broad daylight. Everything I’ve been talking about now and describing has been documented for years already by Palestinian, Israeli, and international human-rights organizations. But Israel never relented and never stopped because, as I said, it’s part of the state’s goal to accomplish that. What has escalated in recent weeks is that you have repeated reports of masked men showing up in the middle of the night. Armed, masked men.

Maybe they are settlers, maybe they’re soldiers, maybe they’re a mix. And they openly threaten the people in the community and tell them that they have twenty-four hours to leave, and if you say otherwise we would wipe you out.

Eine Presseerklärung und eine Pressemitteilung zum Julian-Assange-Skandal

Der WikiLeaks-Gründer Julian Assange ist seit fast 13 Jahren auf verschiedene Arten seiner Freiheit beraubt. Am 7. Dezember 2010 stellte er sich der britischen Polizei im Zusammenhang mit schwedischen Vergewaltigungsvorwürfen gegen ihn. Diese Ermittlungen wurden erst 2019 eingestellt, nachdem die Behörden in Schweden und Großbritannien die Ermittlungen jahrelang auf kleiner Flamme köcheln ließen. In diesen neun Jahren wurde niemals Anklage gegen ihn erhoben. Seit April 2019 sitzt Julian Assange in Auslieferungshaft im Hochsicherheitsgefängnis in London und wieder verschleppen die zuständigen Behörden den Fall im Schneckentempo, ohne dass ein Ende in Sicht wäre. Er muss sofort freigelassen werden! Dass Julian Assange nicht in Vergessenheit geraten ist, steht sicher auch mit dem andauernden Engagement der bundesweiten Mahnwachen in Zusammenhang, deren gemeinsame Presseerklärung wir nachfolgend veröffentlichen. Außerdem hat die Bürgerinitiative GemeinWohlLobby eine Pressemitteilung herausgegeben, in der vorgeschlagen und begründet wird, dass möglichst viele Gemeinden Julian Assange wegen seines Einsatzes für Transparenz und Pressefreiheit zum Ehrenbürger ernennen. Sahra Wagenknecht hat dies in ihrer Rede bei der Friedensdemonstration in Berlin am Samstag auch vorgeschlagen. In der Pressemitteilung findet sich auch ein Musterantrag dazu.

Eindrücke zur Friedensdemonstration „Nein zu Kriegen“ in Berlin

Am 25.11.2023 fand in Berlin eine Friedensdemonstration vor dem Brandenburger Tor statt, zu der ein breites Bündnis aufgerufen hatte. Die diffamierende, mediale „Berichterstattung“, von der die NachDenkSeiten bereits berichtet haben, veranlasst Ala Goldbrunner, ihre persönlichen Eindrücke vor Ort ohne Anspruch auf Vollständigkeit wiederzugeben.

Der Ablauf

Trotz unwirtlichem, naßkaltem Wetter fanden sich am letzten Samstag laut Veranstalter ca. 20.000 Friedensaktivisten vor dem Brandenburger Tor ein, um gegen Militarisierung und Krieg, für Frieden, Diplomatie und Abrüstung zu demonstrieren. Die Polizei sprach am Nachmittag von 10.000 Teilnehmern.
Sehr hörenswert waren die überwiegend eindringlichen und dennoch besonnenen Reden, die am Ende des Textes verlinkt sind.

U.S. Has Warned Israel to Fight More Surgically in Gaza, Officials Say

(Nov. 28, 2023)

The statements are the Biden administration’s strongest warning to Israeli officials to date about the next phase of their military operation. For weeks, the White House has been careful to say it does not dictate how Israel conducts its military operations, but President Biden and senior members of his staff have grown more vocal as the humanitarian crisis has unfolded.

They also come as the administration officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive diplomatic issues, said they were ramping up humanitarian aid during the cease-fire that took effect last week, and expressed optimism that aid could continue even when fighting resumed.

Biden Supporters Still Don’t Get That He’s Sinking Because of Gaza

(November 25, 2023)

I’m not actually worried that a majority of Arab American or young voters will vote for Trump; I’m worried that they’ll stay home and not vote at all. The ultimate weakness in the “Trump would be worse” argument is that many voters will see two candidates they don’t like and simply avoid the polls or cast protest votes for a third-party candidate running for president.

A Majority of Voters Support Calls for a Cease-Fire in Gaza

(November 21, 2023)

More Democratic voters are expressing dissatisfaction with Biden’s handling of the larger Israeli-Palestinian conflict, young people are becoming more sympathetic to the Palestinians and older voters are giving more thought to people on both sides.

Team Biden Goes From Denial to Panic

(Nov 27, 2023)

Our RootsAction.org team had no reason to avoid antagonizing the White House. Immediately after the 2022 election, we launched the Don’t Run Joe campaign. Last winter, it included TV ads in New Hampshire and other early primary states as well as in DC. We also placed full-page ads in print editions of The Hill newspaper, widely read on Capitol Hill; one depicted congressional Democrats as having their heads in the sand. A steady flow of news releases went out, citing data on Biden’s electoral vulnerabilities. A mobile Don’t Run Joe billboard circled the Capitol and White House when Congress reconvened in January.

But elected Democrats, loyal boosters and allied organizations stuck with the party line.

The polls keep getting worse for Biden

(25.11.2023)

Biden’s recent slide — and his political predicament some 11 months before Election Day — represent a confluence of slippage with reliable Democratic constituencies like young voters, the outbreak of war in the Middle East and the rise of independent and third-party candidates who could siphon votes from both Biden and Trump.

Dienstag 28. November 2023 Einen guten Morgen wünsche ich meinen 487 Followern! Euch und alle X er, denen das zukünftige Schicksal ihrer Mitmenschen und Nachkommen nicht gleichgültig ist bitte ich: Retweetet und/oder teilt meinen täglichen Aufruf an den Weltsicherheitsrat #UNSC!

Unterschiedliche, selbst erarbeitete Begründungen, habe ich der Aufforderung hinzugefügt.

Wir bewegen uns auf eine Katastrophe zu, die nur noch durch eine weltweit umspannende Solidargemeinschaft abgewendet werden kann!

Wir sind jetzt gefordert, im Rahmen unserer Möglichkeiten etwas tun, damit das Weltgeschehen uns wieder Raum für unbeschwert positives Denken lässt.

Niemand darf kommentarlos und untätig bleibend zuschauen, wenn sich Menschen gegenseitig töten, misshandeln und/oder verletzen!

Man kann abends besser einschlafen mit dem Bewusstsein, wenigstens etwas getan zu haben. wenn das Engagement auch utopisch anmutet, den Weltsicherheitsrat #UNSC aufzufordern, das Veto-Recht abzuschaffen, damit Friedensmissionen durch die #UN möglich sind.

Allein die Weltgemeinschaft kann dauerhaft anhaltenden Frieden schaffen, ihn sichern und bewahren!

Israel, Hamas Extend Gaza Truce as 11 More Hostages Are Freed

(Updated on November 27, 2023 at 4:18 PM EST)

Israel and Hamas agreed Monday to extend a cease-fire in their devastating war until Thursday morning, as 11 more freed hostages arrived in Israel.

The current halt — which began Friday after intense negotiations brokered by Qatar, with the help of Egypt and the US — was originally due to end Tuesday. It was the first since the conflict erupted in early October when Hamas attacked Israel, which retaliated by bombing Gaza and reducing much of it to rubble.

In the past days, the sound of war has quieted, giving millions of children and adults the chance to look to the sky without fear of rockets streaking their way. I add my support for this desperately needed respite in the conflict in #Gaza to continue.

9 children, including 3-year-old twins, and 2 mothers released from Hamas captivity

(27 November 2023, 11:14 pm)

Eleven Israeli children and mothers were released from Hamas captivity Monday night, arriving in Israel after several hours of uncertainty over the fate of a deal for their freedom. They were freed amid ongoing intense diplomatic efforts to extend the four-day humanitarian pause in Gaza, which began on Friday, for two more days.
