Genocide

The World Court Has Ended The Oslo Ruse

August 8, 2024 Craig Mokhiber, Mondoweiss. Educate! Genocide, International Court of Justice (ICJ), Israel, Palestine

Israel is on trial for genocide in the International Court of Justice (the ICJ). The Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) has requested arrest warrants for Israel’s leaders for crimes against humanity. Millions of people across the globe, Palestinians, Jews, Muslims, Christians, students, workers, and others, are mobilized to challenge Israeli settler-colonialism, apartheid, and genocide. The 76-year-old wall of impunity, built brick-by-brick by the US, the UK, and other Western governments, is beginning to crumble. Further evidence of this came on July 19 when, in a stunning advisory opinion, the ICJ ruled that international law protects the rights of the Palestinians, and they need not negotiate with their oppressors for those rights under Oslo or any other political framework, dealing a definitive blow to decades of US and Western efforts to situate Israel outside the reach of the rule of law.

What The United Nations Chief Can Do For Gaza

August 7, 2024 Mona Ali Khalil, Consortium News. Resist! Gaza, Genocide, Human Rights, Israel, Palestine, United Nations (UN)

Secretary-General António Guterres has limited his role in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to that of a town crier, expressing “grave concern” from time to time regarding the terrible Hamas attacks against Israel on Oct. 7, 2023 and Israel’s collective punishment of the Palestinian people in Gaza every day since then and long before. To change his legacy, Guterres should establish a truth commission, propose a U.N. transitional administration and present a peace plan to get us to the “day after” in Gaza and beyond. Over decades, U.N. resolutions have compelled Palestinian leaders to surrender 78 percent of Palestine to Israel to achieve a more peaceful, secure future for their children.

ICC To Rule If The Australian Government Is Complicit In Genocide

The evidence of complicity by Australia’s Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and senior parliamentarians has been accepted into the ongoing International Criminal Court (ICC) investigation into the Situation in the State of Palestine. The ‘Article 15 Communication’ submitted by Birchgrove Legal in March this year named Prime Minister Albanese as an accessory to genocide, making him the first leader of a Western nation to be referred to the ICC under the Rome Statute. In personalised correspondence received this week, the Office of the Prosecutor – International Criminal Court (OTP-ICC) advised Birchgrove Legal that the 92-page document, which was endorsed by more than one hundred Australian lawyers and barristers, had been “added to the evidence gathered and transmitted to relevant staff members for further review.”

The Victims’ Pact: Rwanda And Israel

August 4, 2024 Ann Garrison, Black Agenda Report. Educate! Africa, DR Congo, Gaza, Genocide, History, Israel, Palestine, Rwanda

Rwanda is the Israel of Africa. The two nations reinforce one another in a longstanding victims’ pact, while the West reinforces both. The three commonly join forces to promote Western “humanitarian interventions” like those in Libya and Syria, which are in fact wars of aggression. The foundation of Israel and Rwanda’s victims’ pact was laid a year after then General Paul Kagame and his Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) won the 1990-1994 Rwandan Civil War and seized power in July 1994. Robin Philpot, in his book Rwanda and the New Scramble for Africa, from Tragedy to Useful Imperial Fiction writes: Two specific events that often go unnoticed contributed to the official sanctioning of the use of the word “genocide” to describe the entire Rwandan tragedy.

August 3, 2024 World Beyond War. Resist! Gaza, Genocide, United Nations, World Court

Almost 200,000 emails have been sent to the UN missions of a couple of dozen nations reading “I urge your country to move to convene an emergency session of the UN General Assembly and use Uniting For Peace (Resolution 377) to impose an arms embargo and targeted sanctions on the Israeli government, suspend the Israeli government from the United Nations, and send unarmed peacekeepers to Palestine.” World BEYOND War has partnered on the effort with RootsAction.org. The emails have gone to the United Nations Consulates of South Africa, Nicaragua, Brazil, Belgium, Belize, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Egypt, Honduras, Ireland, Italy, Jordan, Turkey, Mexico, Pakistan, Spain, Libya, China, Russia, Algeria, Ecuador, Guyana, Japan, France, Malta, Mozambique, Republic of Korea, Sierra Leone, Slovenia, Switzerland, and Canada.

Break The Siege Ship Prevented From Sailing

The Freedom Flotilla Coalition believes in fundamental rights for all, including Palestinians. Unfortunately, these values are not shared by many of the world’s governments. Our Break the Siege mission ships and crew in Istanbul have been prepared to sail for some time now, but we have been waiting for a required document from the Turkish Port Authority, granting us permission to depart from Istanbul. Without this document our vessels would be stopped and potentially detained if we attempt to leave port. After weeks of discussions with the Port Authority, it is now clear to us that such permission will not be forthcoming from the Turkish government.

How Ordinary Israelis Became Mass Murderers

July 31, 2024 Faris Giacaman, Mondoweiss. Educate! Genocide, Human Rights, Israel, Israeli Settlers, Palestine, Violence, Wars and Militarism

In 1996, Daniel Jonah Goldhagen published a book that proposed to rewrite the history of the Holocaust. Its central point was that the Nazi genocide was chiefly made possible by the existence of a deep form of “demonological antisemitism” that had seeped into German society; Hitler and the Nazi regime weren’t so much agitating against Jews as they were simply giving ordinary Germans the green light to act on their already virulent genocidal attitudes. Without this form of “eliminationist antisemitism,” which according to Goldhagen was essentially a part of the fabric of German society long before the Nazis came to power, the Holocaust would not have been possible.

No Harbour For Genocide: Activists Prepare For Arrival Of ‘Ship Of Death’

The Overseas Santorini, which is slated to reach the Strait of Gibraltar on Tuesday, July 30, is one of two tanker vessels that have shipped millions of barrels of military grade jet fuel from Valero Energy, through a U.S. government contract to Israel, from 2014 to the present. It departed from Valero’s Corpus Christi refinery in Texas on July 15, following its standard route for transporting JP-8 fuel from there to Israel’s port of Ashkelon, generally docking in Algeciras, Spain on the way there, and Limassol, Cyprus, on the way back, and sometimes calling at other Atlantic and Mediterranean ports. Independent researchers have been tracking these shipments, which have been leaving approximately every two months.

Ali Abunimah: Germany Is Threatening Me For My Talk About Palestine

July 28, 2024 Mazin Qumsiyeh, Popular Resistance. Educate! Censorship, Genocide, Germany, Israel, Palestine, Repression, US Imperialism

The situation here in the occupied West Bank has been horrible before 7 October but the level of horror amplified ten fold since. This increase in rate of home demolitions, land confiscation, killing of Palestinians, military and settler pogroms against our people, closing off of 12 ghettos/concentration camps created to store the unwanted indigenous people. All Palestinians are targets whether they miraculously remained in Palestine or are in exile diaspora. The Zionist movement is taking desperate measures to liquidate even the hope of liberation. Even the delusional hope of a two state "solution" is obliterated with laws and with increased colonial settlements: There are two times more colonial settlers per square kilometer here in the West Bank than inside the Green Line.

Police Arrest Protesters Outside Bath Iron Works Ceremony

Police arrested nine protesters outside Bath Iron Works on Saturday morning leading up to a christening ceremony for the shipyard’s newest warship. Two protesters were charged with obstructing a public way and seven with criminal trespass after a group of demonstrators interlinked arms and sat down, blocking the entrance to a BIW parking lot. Police later said that this group had broken off from a larger demonstration of about 75 people on Washington Street. Witnesses said that arrests started around 9:30 a.m. when Bath police officers and Sagadahoc County sheriff’s deputies rounded up some of the protesters, securing their wrists with zip ties before ushering them to a nearby school bus.

Israel’s ‘Useful Idiots’ Are The US Congress And The Biden Administration

July 27, 2024 Colonel (ret) Ann Wright, Popular Resistance. Educate! Benjamin Netanyahu, Congress, Genocide, Kamala Harris

Israeli Prime Minister’s invitation to speak at the U.S. Congress as his government conducts a genocide on Palestinians in Gaza and brutality of illegal settlers toward Palestinian land owners in the West Bank, is incredibly outrageous. The remark by Netanyahu in his address to the Congress on July 24 that those who challenge the genocide and protest U.S. complicity in the murder of 39,000 Palestinians in the past nine months and tens of thousands still buried underneath the rubble of destroyed homes and apartment buildings, in schools, hospitals and tents are “useful idiots” of Iran was particularly ironic.

183 Day Encampment Across From Secretary Of State Blinken’s House Forcefully Destroyed

From January 26, 2024, until this morning, July 26, 2024, peaceful protestors have occupied the shoulder of Chain Bridge Road in the vicinity of the home of Secretary of State Antony Blinken, demanding an end to U.S. support for the Israeli genocide in Gaza that, in low estimates, has claimed the lives of over 40,000 innocent Palestinian civilians. Throughout this time, Secretary Blinken has continued to provide weapons and funding for a military campaign that the International Court of Justice has ruled is a plausible genocide. On July 16, 2024, Virginia State Police, The Office of Virginia Attorney General, and the Virginia Department of Transportation arbitrarily demanded the removal of the peace vigil in a ‘law enforcement entrapment’.

Netanyahu’s Speech: As American As It Gets

July 25, 2024 Caitlin Johnstone, Consortium News. Educate! Benjamin Netanyahu, Genocide, Israel, Palestine, US Imperialism, Wars and Militarism, Washington D.C.

Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech before Congress was everything you’d expect: packed full of lies and propaganda spin, yet simultaneously very illuminating and revealing. The Israeli prime minister received no fewer than 58 standing ovations while speaking before both houses of Congress and spewing the most despicable lies you could possibly imagine in his conspicuously American accent. Depending on how politically aware you are, this spectacle could be perceived as either deeply un-American, or as American as it gets. Netanyahu repeated evidence-free atrocity propaganda about what happened on Oct. 7.

As US Congress Cheered For Netanyahu, Protesters Gathered To Denounce Him

July 25, 2024 Ali Harb, Al Jazeera. Resist! Benjamin Netanyahu, Congress, Gaza, Genocide, Israel, Kamala Harris, Palestine, Washington D.C.

Washington, DC – Hours before Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrived at the United States Capitol to deliver a speech to Congress, a woman with a blue scarf concealing her face sat alone on a park bench and waved a Palestinian flag near Union Station in Washington, DC. “We will fight for freedom wherever it’s being denied all over the world. We connect with the Palestinians because we are freedom fighters here in America,” the lone protester, who asked to remain anonymous, told Al Jazeera on Wednesday. She was one of the thousands of protesters who would ultimately gather across the capital city to demonstrate against the Israeli prime minister’s speech.

Biden/Harris And The Irreversible Crisis Of Neoliberal Fake Democracy

July 24, 2024 Ajamu Baraka, Black Agenda Report. Educate! Coups, Democracy, Genocide, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Neoliberalism, US Imperialism

The replacement of Joe Biden as the presidential nominee of the democrat party was a dramatic demonstration that the lords of capital are the only segment of the U.S. population with real agency. The fact that select oligarchs, in this case, the cabal that actually runs the democrat party, can remove a presidential nominee and expeditiously anoint Kamala Harris as his replacement cannot be characterized as anything else but a coup. While this might read as extreme, the situation that African and oppressed people face in the U.S. and globally is also extreme. From killer cops who occupy cities and college campuses across the country, to genocide in Gaza, naivety is a luxury that the oppressed cannot afford.
