J’accuse – Ihr seid mitschuldig!
Sachkundige (wie Anshel Pfeffer von der Zeitung Haaretz) nennen die „Operation Haus und Garten“ – so der zynische Name für diesen Angriff – eine „Textbuch-Demonstration“ für „urban warfare“ oder Stadtkrieg. Israel übt also, wie immer wieder in Gaza, an den Menschen in Palästina, um die Überlegenheit seiner Waffen und seiner Militärstrategie und -taktik vor der Welt zu demonstrieren.
(…)
Amira Hass (ebenfalls Haaretz) spricht von einem regelrechten Science-Fiction-Angriff. Das HQ, das die Armee ganz in der Nähe von Jenin errichtet hatte, war in direkter und ununterbrochener Verbindung mit allen am Angriff beteiligten Gruppen und konnte in Echtzeit verfolgen, was vor Ort passierte.

During the deliberations, a storm erupted in the Knesset plenum when MK Ayman Odeh (Hadash) stated in regard to the occupation forces operation in Jenin: “Every action has a reaction. There’s a reaction to the occupation, and that’s the resistance. Long live the Jenin Refugee Camp! Boo to you!” Odeh accused the far-right coalition MKs, saying: “Everyone’s blood for your accursed occupation, you are behaving not only as criminals but also as fools. Everyone is proud of Jenin and rightly so, and now more people will join the fighters against this accursed occupation. Every action has a response because it is the law of nature, the occupation has a response and this is the resistance, the resistance to the occupation is legitimate, long live the Jenin refugee camp, long live the Palestinian struggle.”
Odeh was immediately kicked off the podium after his support for Palestinians in Jenin and said, “Take me down, but the Palestinian people will continue to struggle.”

(12.05.2022)
Hundreds gathered in rallies organized by Hadash and the Communist Party of Israel (CPI) on Wednesday and Thursday to protest the death of Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Aqleh, who was killed by Israeli occupation forces and in the West Bank.
200 people demonstrated in Haifa, waving Palestinian flags, holding pictures of Abu-Aqleh and carrying signs bearing texts in Hebrew and Arabic reading “Occupation = terror.” “We stand here this evening in protest of the murder of the journalist Abu Aqleh today in Jenin,” Raja Zaatry, chairman of the Haifa branch of the Hadash, said. He described Abu Akleh’s killing as “a grave crime that is added to the many crimes of the occupation, which is the main and daily terror in this country.”
Police Violence at Palestinian Journalist‘s Funeral Is Israel‘s Mark of Cain
This is not just about damage to Israel’s image. This is a definitive incident that revealed the full ugliness of life under Israel’s occupation. No PR in the world can repair the damage, because there is no “narrative” that justifies the Israel Police’s conduct.
This is not only about contempt for the pain and grief of the Palestinians; it is about a fundamentally wrong attitude toward the Palestinian flag. This is the flag of the Palestinian Authority – an entity established as part of a deal with Israel, a deal that among other things enshrines the security cooperation that Israel has enjoyed for almost 30 years – and it is recognized by the whole world, including Israel.
