Like Euclidean geometry, Israel is only ever approaching Apartheid and Genocide, at infinity so to speak, but never crossing the line into it. Hence it can never be accused of it, let alone held responsible for it. The perfect crimes against humanity.
If Netanyahu’s government stays on this course, it will rip apart Jewish institutions everywhere as members of the Jewish diaspora are forced to decide whether to stand with or against an apartheidlike Israel. It will also accelerate the trend begun by Israel’s devastation of Gaza wherein growing numbers of young Democrats and Republicans in the U.S. are turning against Israel and, at the fringes, against Jews in general. Jewish parents around the globe will soon be in a position they never dreamed of: watching their children and grandchildren learn what it’s like to be Jewish in a world where the Jewish state is a pariah state.

France puts its national signature to a statement which invokes the World Court's ruling on the illegality of the occupation of Palestine in 2024 and its obligations, but France still as of today trades with settler goods and doesn't ban arms from being transferred to Israel for use in the oPT
"France and 84 countries strongly condemn the Israeli government’s unilateral decisions and measures aimed at expanding its control in the West Bank, and reaffirm their commitment reflected in the New York Declaration to take concrete measures to ensure the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination is respected and to counter the illegal settlement policy in the occupied Palestinian territory." -

Sound familiar?

Plus ça change…
Most importantly, in response to the Palestinian uprising, public opinion, media coverage and (to a lesser degree) the rhetoric of US policy toward Israel have begun to shift. One survey done for the American Jewish Congress in April 1988 found that 43 percent of the US public favored an “independent Palestinian state on the West Bank” and 62 percent endorsed US negotiations with the PLO. According to pollster John Marttila, support for a Palestinian homeland has increased by 10 percent among the general public in the last three years. [8] The Los Angeles Times poll done this spring found that 34 percent of non-Jews favored a reduction of military aid to Israel and 65 percent thought there was “an element of racism involved in the attitude of Israelis toward Arabs.” The change in the press’ approach was highlighted by ABC Nightline’s week-long series from Israel and the occupied territories in the spring. The Jerusalem “town meeting” between three Palestinians and four Israelis, in front of a live audience made up of members of both communities, emphasized what became an important theme of media coverage this year: that at its core this was a conflict of two nations.

France, among others, is apparently livid that the European Commission will be sending a high-level diplomat to observe Trump's colonial Board of Peace's first meeting in DC tomorrow.

And yet, France has not found itself in compliance with its own commitments to international law. Can it complain?

Other outlets have not mentioned Carlson being detained but do note that he did not leave the airport. The Daily Mail claims to be quoting Carlson himself.

'Too bad Tucker stayed in the airport in the face of so many invitations to see so many wonderful places. A huge and obviously intentional missed opportunity,' taunted David Friedman, the former US ambassador to Israel during Trump's first term.

the enormously funny fact is that if Taiwan drops their claim to the owning the mainland, this would be seen as an affront to the PRC
po8crg.gadsden.online Richard Gadsden @po8crg.gadsden.online · 4h
Also the US recognised that Taiwan is part of China and that the People's Republic is the official government of China but that doesn't constitute recognising that the PRC is the government of Taiwan.

You may now see why AOC can't state this clearly!

OK, *ongoing* thread of books to read on Palestine. Some recent, some not at all so recent.

I’ve been thinking on this as I read more. Also how the settlers trigger response that the army uses to validate excessive force.

Also, I’ve concluded 100 Year War on Palestine. Do you have other suggestions for reading? If you don’t mind. I’d actually love a thread if you do. Not that you have to.

At the Munich Security Conference this weekend, I told a hard truth. There is no ceasefire in Gaza. The assault continues. Palestinians continue to die. And Trump is issuing glossy brochures about fake future Gaza real estate deals instead of working to end the war.
