What we are witnessing is the final stage in the nazification of Israeli society. www.972mag.com/israel-holoc...

Israel is waging a holocaust in Gaza. Denazification is the remedy

The deadly ethno-supremacy inherent to Israeli society runs deeper than Netanyahu, Ben Gvir, and Smotrich. It must be confronted at its root.

On. The. Evidence.

As the Australian public broadcaster - consistently and continuously - waives any requirement for verification of whatever Israel Says about Israeli violence against their journalist colleagues in Palestine.

in those days I was also naive enough to think changes in the colour of western governments or some kind of global consensus would or could stop Israel. Nope. Nyet. Non. The West has done less since Oslo than in 1948, for the obvious reason. This monstrous colony is of our western-white making.

hmmm difficult cycle we find ourselves in says Reucassel, a white dude who landed the same high status job as four of his white dude mates. That job includes maintaining racist norms like presumed criminality, colonial law, and manifest destiny by describing racist police as “a difficult cycle”.

Despite the largest mobilisation of global citizen opposition in the 21st century Israel’s genocide, ethnic cleansing and colonisation of all of Palestine continues apace Recognition of Palestine as a state is not going to stop Israel. Direct action is now required

Israel's final solution in Gaza - banking on US cash for forced relocation - Michael West

The Israeli aim of ethnically cleansing Palestinians from Gaza well underway. Relies on US finance, compliant allies and rejection of peace.

I’m confused: did a memo go out this week saying it’s finally okay for politicians and the press to be outraged that Israel is starving Palestinians?

If so, I didn’t see the memo. But I did see the evidence of this war crime back in late 2023.

Where are we at? Starving is bad, bombing is ok?
