Do you demand from any NGO, any government, from the UNRWA director Philippe Lazzarini, from the United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to stop their unbearable whining and finally kick this fascist gang of Benyamin Netanyahu out of the United Nations?
Do you?
If not – GET OUT OF THE WAY!
Best,

Internal documents seen by The Washington Post show that biometric technology will be deployed at the hubs, handing the Israeli military power to choose who is allowed to receive aid.
There are plans to construct guarded „humanitarian transition areas“, where tens of thousands of Palestinians will be held. Planners anticipate these zones to be described as „concentration camps“ by the public, the documents show.
Five people involved in the planning expressed concern about the militarisation of aid, and the use of mercenary forces and biometrics to police civilians.
The scheme has triggered outcry among some of Israel‘s closest Western allies and humanitarian organisations, who have refused to cooperate with a plan that they say violates basic humanitarian principles.
The UN has warned that the policy has been designed to facilitate the mass displacement of Palestinians, an accusation effectively confirmed by Israeli ministers who have publicly articulated plans to drive the entire population to the south and force them out of Gaza.

Connecting all these dots leads to a fairly clear conclusion: Israel is preparing to forcibly displace the entire population of Gaza — through a combination of evacuation orders and intense bombardment — into an enclosed and possibly fenced-off area. Anyone caught outside its boundaries would be killed, and buildings throughout the rest of the enclave would likely be razed to the ground.
Without mincing words, this “humanitarian zone,” as Magal so kindly put it, in which the army intends to corral Gaza’s 2 million residents, can be summed up in just two words: concentration camp. This is not hyperbole; it is simply the most precise definition to help us better understand what we are facing.

The gradual annexation of so-called Area C of the West Bank (delineated by the Oslo Accords and controlled fully by Israel), or even part of it, is expected to lead to the collapse of the Palestinian Authority, and thus the end of its security coordination with the occupation state, and the occupation army will have to control the occupied Palestinian territory. In such a situation, Israel will be forced to fund a military-run regime and be responsible for the lives of 2.8 million Palestinians.
“He’s killing a lot of people, and I don’t know what the hell happened to Putin,” Mr. Trump said. “I’ve known him a long time. Always gotten along with him. But he’s sending rockets into cities and killing people, and I don’t like it at all.”
He added, “We’re in the middle of talking, and he’s shooting rockets into Kyiv and other cities.”
Mr. Trump continued criticizing Mr. Putin hours later, writing on social media that his Russian counterpart “has gone absolutely CRAZY” and was shooting missiles and drones into Ukraine’s cities, “for no reason whatsoever.”
Yet Israel’s political chaos between 2019 and 2022, marked by five consecutive elections and an electorate divided almost evenly between pro- and anti-Netanyahu camps, gave the Joint List an unexpected second life. Reconstituted ahead of the September 2019 vote, it immediately regained its 13 seats. Then, in March 2020, it achieved a historic milestone, becoming Israel’s third-largest party with 15 seats — the highest ever for Palestinian representation. Turnout rebounded, while support for Zionist parties among Palestinian voters collapsed from 28 percent to just 12 percent.
Politicians from across the Zionist political spectrum, both from the far-right coalition and opposition, condemn Tuesday, May 20, Yair Golan, leader of the Democrats (Labor and Meretz parties) after he declares that Israel was killing children in Gaza “as a hobby.” “Israel is on the way to becoming a pariah state, like South Africa was, if we don’t return to acting like a sane country,” the former major general in the Israeli army said in an interview with the Kan public broadcaster. “And a sane country does not fight against civilians, does not kill children as a hobby, and does not give itself the aim of expelling populations,” he says.
“This government is full of vengeful types with no morals and no ability to run a country in a time of crisis. This endangers our existence,” Golan agreed and called for the far-right government to be replaced “as soon as possible, so that the war can come to an end.” Golan placed direct blame on the government, stating that it is “filled with people who have nothing whatsoever to do with Judaism – Kahanist types, lacking wisdom, morality, and the ability to manage a state during an emergency. This is dangerous to our very existence.”

She says it is paralysed and complicit in what is unfolding.
In an exclusive interview with The New Arab, Albanese delivers a stark message. She says the situation in Gaza is not just a war but a genocide taking place in real time. She blames not only the Israeli military campaign but also the global indifference and support from powerful governments and corporations.
„I do not think there has been anything in modern history since the end of World War Two that is so sadistic and militarised as this attack,“ she says.
In the eyes of the western empire, there are some people who may be murdered with mass military violence, and others who may not be. There are some types of children who can be photographed with their ribcages sticking out because of deliberately inflicted starvation without causing much of a stir, and there are other types of children for whom such photographs would shake the earth.
In the eyes of the western empire, Jews are considered fully human, while Muslims and Arabs are not. A massacre of Jews is a terrible, unforgivable atrocity which cries out to the heavens for limitless vengeance, while Israel’s daily massacres of Palestinians merit nothing more than a footnote.
Die Argumente das gemeinsame Agieren mit der Union sind vielfältig: Es gehe nur ein formales Vorgehen, hieß es etwa. Intern scheint auch der anstehende Parteitag in Chemnitz eine Rolle gespielt zu haben: Eine Wahl von Friedrich Merz am Freitag hätte den Verlauf des Parteitags erheblich gestört. Außerdem heißt es, man hätte die Wahl höchstens um ein paar Tage verzögert, Friedrich Merz wäre so oder so gewählt worden. Das mag stimmen. Oder auch nicht.
Die drei Tage, die laut Geschäftsordnung zwischen erstem und zweitem Wahlgang hätten liegen müssen, wären für Merz womöglich die längsten seines politischen Lebens geworden. Internen Druck hätte es sicherlich gegeben, vielleicht hätte er die Tage politisch nicht überlebt.
דברים אלה אינם נכתבים מתוך ניכור, ואני באמת מלאת הערכה למארגני הוועידה ולמשתתפיה הרבים. אין בי צל של ספק באשר לכוונות הטובות שלהם, ולרצון הכן לפעול למען שינוי המציאות הארורה הזו. אבל בשעה שאנשים מורעבים למוות במחנה ההשמדה שישראל יצרה בעזה, השמאל הישראלי חייב לצאת מאזור הנוחות שלו.
סדנאות של דיאלוג, דיונים על קדושתה של ירושלים, תפילות בין-דתיות ופאנלים על פתרונות מדיניים בימים של השמדה הם אנכרוניזם תלוש. פעילות מכוח האינרציה היא פריבילגיה שאנחנו לא יכולים להרשות לעצמנו מול המראות מעזה. בשביל לשנות את המציאות, צריך קודם כל להכיר בה כהווייתה ולכנות אותה בשמה המפורש. אם בכל הוועידה הזו אין אפילו פאנל אחד שעוסק בג‘נוסייד המתחולל ברגעים אלה ממש, לא כל שכן קריאה מפורשת לסירוב לקחת בו חלק, ספק אם היא תקדם אותנו אפילו בצעד לקראת השינוי שהיא מבקשת לקדם.
To be clear, these words are not written out of cynicism; I truly hold deep appreciation for the organizers of the conference and its many participants. I have no doubt of their good intentions and sincere commitment to changing our horrific reality. Yet as Israel systematically starves people in Gaza’s extermination camp, the Israeli left can no longer remain in its comfort zone.
What good are dialogue workshops, discussions about the sanctity of Jerusalem, interfaith prayers, or panels on political solutions while a genocide rages? These are privileged distractions we can no longer afford. To transform reality, we must first stare directly at its horrors and name them without flinching. If this conference cannot even convene a single panel on Gaza’s genocide, much less demand an end to complicity in it, how can it hope to drive the change it claims to pursue?
So, what did they learn?
– They learned that wars can indeed last forever, but that Vietnam wasn’t the best “forever war” for the military-industrial complex because it became deeply unpopular and was disrupting cohesion within the military itself. The best forever wars are open-ended “wars” like the global war on terror. And perhaps a “new Cold War” with Russia and/or China. Wars that don’t involve the deployment of over half a million men (unless that “new” Cold War turns hot).
– They learned to control the narrative. No more journalists traveling freely in war zones as in the 1960s in Vietnam. Journalists are now most often embedded in U.S. military units. Embedded reporters, dependent on the military for access and protection, know what they can and can’t say, even as they tend to sympathize with the troops they’re with. ….
Israel has seen that the world lacks any serious will to hold it accountable for violating international law and humanitarian principles. Had its allies taken a firm stand against its policy of collective punishment in Gaza, Israel would have been forced to retreat to some extent, fearing harm to its interests and international relationships. But this never happened.
Israel is therefore not the only party responsible for the starvation of Gaza. The culpability is shared among all those who continue to support Israel in any form, whether economically, politically or militarily.
“Israel’s decision to bar your entry to the country is both outrageous and predictable. Alongside the genocidal war in Gaza, we in Israel have witnessed, over the past 18 months, a rapid descent into dictatorship and fascism,” said Hadash MK Aida Touma-Sliman in a letter sent Monday, April 21, to French lawmakers.
“The politicians targeted are consistently from the political left, known for advocating for the rights of Palestinians as well as Israelis. I was about to meet with them during the visit and update them about the dangerous processes in Israel today.”

This is who should meet with Israel’s National Security Minister on his visit to the United States this week: No one. Not a soul.
I don’t know who the cardinals will pick to replace him, but I do know with absolute certainty that there are transnational intelligence operations in the works to make sure they select a more reliable supporter of Israel.
Zusammenfassung
Es sind also zusammengefasst folgende Charakteristika der atomaren Situation, die es uns so schwer machen, wirklich zu erfassen, auf welch abschüssiger Bahn wir uns längst befinden:
Die Bedrohung ist zu groß, als dass wir sie uns noch adäquat vorstellen könnten.
Sie ist zu entsetzlich, als dass wir sie uns noch vorstellen mögen.
Sie ist unsichtbar, räumlich also nicht zu orten und damit überall und nirgends.
Zahllose Menschen sind – alle auf das Indirekteste – in die Herstellung der Untergangsgeräte eingebunden.
Das finale Inferno kann im Ernstfall auf das Leichteste realisiert werden: Am Ende wird es ein via Künstliche Intelligenz von einem Computer gesteuerter Computer gewesen sein!

Ich lebe in einer Republik, in denen den Menschen ihr eigener Verstand fast nichts mehr zählt.
Ich bin es leid, meinen lieben MitbürgerInnen versuchen das Lesen beizubringen. Ich bin es leid dreißig, vierzig Mal das Gleiche zu schreiben, bis diese es schaffen zu begreifen und weiterzuerzählen. Ich bin es aber vor allem leid darauf zu warten, bis diese unaussprechlich verkommenen Staatsschauspieler des Bundestages mal wieder aus ihrem Urlaub zurück kommen, den sie sich rund sieben Monate im Jahr gönnen, um mir dann deren Ausreden und Erklärungen anzuhören, warum sie ja nichts machen können, weil sie nur im Parlament sitzen.
But the protests held in Suhrawardy Udyan on April 12 where a declaration outlined the demands for the United Nations, the world community and Muslim world leaders, especially Arab nations, the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation and the Bangladesh government appear hardly critical of the United States. Israel’s genocide in Gaza has, of course, resulted from the nonchalance of the Muslim world, especially Arab nations. But it could not happen without the complicity of the United States. Before the Balfour declaration was made public, it was approved by the United States in early 1918. The west, generally, and the United States, especially, having ignored the historical context has given rise to the current state of the conflict. The United States, the first country to grant Israel recognition on May 14, 1948, engineered the Oslo accord and the Abraham accord to further consolidate Israel as the colonial settler state in occupied Palestine with support from major Arab states. The Arab world and the United States are both equally responsible for the current state of Palestine and they all should be equally condemned.
Dementsprechend erließ Westmoreland 1966 eine neue Strategie, die Kommandeure anwies, weiterhin Such- und Zerstörungsmissionen in den Bergen durchzuführen, aber einen neuen Feind in die Truppenaufstellung und Einsatzregeln aufzunehmen: die „Infrastruktur“ der Vietcong. Damit waren sogenannte Basisdörfer gemeint, die angeblich von Vietcong-Unterstützern „verseucht“ waren, die Kämpfer beherbergten, versorgten und unterstützten.

Ein CIA-Analyst wie Adams bemerkte, dass die Zahlen nicht stimmten. Während Westmorelands Leichenzählung wuchs, blieb Adams’ Zählung der tatsächlich bewaffneten Kämpfer in lokalen und Haupteinheiten nahezu konstant. Er berichtete, dass die Armee offenbar Unbeteiligte tötete und als Vietcong deklarierte. „Menschen wurden nun danach angegriffen, wo sie lebten“, sagte mir Sams Kollege.
Cooper was the quiet man at many of the most significant events in the postwar era, including the vastly misunderstood 1954 Geneva Conference, but the crucial story in his book is his inside account of Johnson’s refusal to respond to many offers for peace talks with Hanoi. Simply put, there were far more serious than publicly known offers of talks put forth by North Vietnam in the later Johnson years when bombing by US B-52s was at its peak.
Hanoi’s only condition, Cooper explains, was that America halt its bombing before the talks began, but Johnson believed any cessation would be a sign of weakness.
Unable to immediately expel Gazans en masse, Israel seems intent on forcing them into a confined zone — and letting starvation and desperation do the rest.
The real issues are: Who is to blame for failing to prevent Hamas’s October 7 invasion, will the failures be fixed, and will the Shin Bet be turned into a loyalty agency that looks the other way when Jewish extremists perpetrate violence against West Bank Palestinians, as many observers say happened to the police under National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, which is to say under Netanyahu.

The most powerful government on earth celebrated the idea of Trump and Netanyahu presiding over orgiastic parties for the obscenely wealthy on a land that has been purged of its indigenous inhabitants following a year and a half of brutal slaughter. Twerking to shitty AI-generated techno music surrounded by golden Trump statues and hundred dollar bills, because you are so happy that you finally found a Final Solution to the Palestinian Problem.
It doesn’t get any more American than this, and it doesn’t get any more Israeli. This soulless, artless, conscienceless expression of egotistic masturbation lubricated with the blood of dead children is the empire at its most honest.
Tanja Schweiger (Landrätin im Landkreis Regensburg) sagt:
„Die dpa-Meldung, die bereits von sämtlichen Medien vervielfältigt wurde, macht mich fassungslos. Wie man aus einer einfachen Pressemitteilung und Statement des Präsidenten des bayerischen Landkreistags einen Skandal innerhalb der Freien Wähler heraufbeschwören kann, erfordert schon sehr viel Kreativität und vielleicht auch ganz andere Hintergedanken.
Ich war in der Ausschusssitzung anwesend und distanziere mich ausdrücklich von der Interpretation der dpa. Unser Präsident Thomas Karmasin – (CSU) – hat unter ‚Sonstiges‘ seine Meinung zu den schnellen Beschlüssen dargelegt. Ich habe sehr deutlich gemacht, dass es einen Reformwillen auf Bundesebene braucht.
Die Oberallgäuer Landrätin Indra Baier-Müller (Freie Wähler) war entsetzt über Meldungen, die sie am Donnerstagabend las: „Freie-Wähler-Landräte stellen sich gegen Kurs ihrer Partei.“ Demnach soll sie gemeinsam mit allen anderen bayerischen Landrätinnen und Landräten eine Zustimmung zum schwarz-roten Milliardenpaket im Bund gefordert haben – abweichend vom offiziellen Freie-Wähler-Beschluss. Baier-Müller veröffentlichte eine Klarstellung: „Ich wurde zu dieser Position weder befragt noch habe ich dieser zugestimmt.“ Ähnlich reagierte Regensburgs FW-Landrätin Tanja Schweiger, die Lebensgefährtin von Parteichef Hubert Aiwanger.

Was gestern im Bundestag verhandelt wurde, ist das wahnwitzigste Aufrüstungspaket und der größte Wahlbetrug in der Geschichte der Bundesrepublik. Ausgerechnet Herr Merz, der sich im Wahlkampf als großer Hüter der Staatsfinanzen aufgespielt hat, präsentiert seinen Wählern jetzt einen grenzenlosen, schuldenfinanzierten Aufrüstungsrausch. Und die SPD, die sich vor wenigen Wochen noch als Friedenspartei inszeniert hat, will nun im Eilverfahren unbegrenzte Kriegskredite durchdrücken, um die verlorenen Stellvertreterkriege der USA auf eigene Faust weiterzuführen.

Die abgewählte und nur geschäftsführend tätige Bundesregierung aus SPD und Grünen plant, in Absprache mit der CDU, ein Sondervermögen für die weitere Aufrüstung der Bundeswehr, die Rede ist von 200 Milliarden Euro, noch durch den alten und ebenfalls abgewählten Bundestag zu peitschen. Hintergrund: Im sich bald neu konstituierenden Bundestag bringen CDU, SPD und Grüne nicht mehr die für die Abstimmung notwendige Zweidrittelmehrheit auf. AfD und Linke verfügen dann über eine Sperrminorität.
