Israel‘s war on Gaza encapsulates the entire history of European colonialism

In North and South America, Australia, Asia and Africa, European settler-colonialists have left behind the evidence of their psychotic genocidal practices.

The European transatlantic slave trade may have halved the population of Africa, some historians believe. The US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and many African colonies were all built on the systematic extermination, displacement and internment of the original inhabitants.

In the Israeli settler-colonialism now on violent display in Gaza and the rest of Palestine, European colonialism is living up to its murderous infamy and has returned to the global stage with a vengeance.

For decades, scholars of European colonialism have been working hard to document, archive and connect these episodes of the premeditated mass murder of native people around the globe.

IDF says troops fired warning shots at UN convoy on Friday due to miscommunication

Citing an investigation into Friday’s incident, the IDF Spokespersons Unit says in a statement to The Times of Israel that after the UN humanitarian convoy finished delivering aid to shelters in northern Gaza, it was asked by the military to go via a different route back south.

“This was to maintain its safety given the fighting that was taking place near the area,” the IDF says.

#Gaza – Israeli soldiers fired at an aid convoy as it returned from Northern Gaza along a route designated by the Israeli Army – our international convoy leader and his team were not injured but one vehicle sustained damage – aid workers should never be a target. @UNRWA

Last night, a peacekeeper was hurt after a patrol was attacked by a group of young men in Taybeh, south Lebanon. A vehicle was also damaged. Attacks on men & women serving the cause of peace are not only condemnable, but they are violations of Resolution 1701 and Lebanese law.

Rüstungskooperation zwischen Deutschland und Israel

(September 2003)

Die Abwicklung von Rüstungstransfers über die Auslandsgeheimdienste Mossad und BND verstärkte die Tendenz zu vertraulicher Kooperation. Die entsprechenden Kooperationsstrukturen gewährleisteten Flexibilität bei der Durchführung der Geschäfte und minimierten die Notwendigkeit, eine öffentliche Debatte über die bilaterale Rüstungskooperation zu führen.

Mit der Vereinigung Deutschlands und der Auflösung des Warschauer Paktes veränderten sich auch die sicherheitspolitischen Rahmenbedingungen der deutsch-israelischen Rüstungskooperation. Die neuen militärische Aufgaben und damit verbundene Anforderungen an die Rüstungsindustrie hatten eine Transformation der Rüstungskooperationsbeziehungen zur Folge.

Iran, Yemen, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, West Bank… Israel says the Gaza war is now being fought on seven fronts

On Tuesday, Israel’s Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant told the Israeli Parliament’s Defense Committee that the country is fighting on seven fronts and has responded to attacks in six of them thus far. In addition to the Gaza Strip, where nearly 21,000 people have already died, and the West Bank — which Gallant referred to as “Judea and Samaria” and where incursions occur almost daily — the minister said that hostilities have spread to Iran, Yemen, Syria, Lebanon and Iraq. “I’m saying it here explicitly,” Gallant warned during his speech. “Anyone who acts against us as a potential target will not be immune.”
