Dissolve The Palestinian Authority, Embrace A One-State Solution…Now

November 27, 2019 Hamada Jaber, Pcpsr.org Create! Israel, Nationalism, Occupation, Palestine

This paper is grounded on three assumptions. First, it takes for granted the death or the impossibility of achieving the two-state solution due to the non-stop Israeli settlement expansion across the territories of the long-yearned for Palestinian state. Moreover, the Palestinian cause is off the agenda of the various Israeli parties and there is no genuine international willingness or ability to bring pressure to bear on Israel to have the withering solution off the hook. Many Palestinians and Israelis believe that by failing to provide a just solution to the problem of the Palestinian refugees...

Palestinian Rage Roaring Over US Policy Shift On Israeli Settlements

November 27, 2019 Staff, Press TV Resist! Israel, Nationalism, Occupation, Palestine

The demonstrations had been called by different Palestinian factions on Tuesday to condemn US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s announcement that the establishment of Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank “is not per se inconsistent with international law.” The protests were held in several towns and cities across the occupied West Bank and the blockaded Gaza Strip, with the participants calling on the international community to take action against Washington and Tel Aviv.

Hong Kong Citizens Take Back Their City

November 26, 2019 By Kumar David, Colombotelegraph.com Educate! Hong Kong, Nationalism

It started in an unlikely way. About 50 soldiers from the Kowloon Tong garrison of the PLA, unarmed and clad in T-shirts and shorts, walked out of their barracks on Saturday (16) afternoon on Renfrew Rd and started clearing debris and wreckage left by rioting freedom-loving, democratic students. The effect was electric! In minutes local residents, fed up with being held hostage by student mobs, joined in; by five in the afternoon all roads in the vicinity were clear, people were walking to shops, stations, doctor’s appointments and traffic flow was smooth.

The Problem With Settlements Is Not That They Are Illegal. It’s That They Are Immoral

November 26, 2019 Peter Beinart, Forward.com Educate! Israel, Nationalism, Palestine, US Imperialism

Yesterday the Trump administration said Israeli settlements in the West Bank don’t violate international law. That’s absurd. Among international lawyers, the consensus that settlements are illegal rivals the consensus among international scientists that humans contribute to climate change. As UCLA’s Dov Waxman has pointed out, the legal advisor to Israel’s own foreign ministry admitted that “civilian settlement in the administered territories contravenes explicit provisions of the Fourth Geneva Convention” after Israel conquered the West Bank in 1967.

UN Adopts Eight Resolutions In Condemnation Of Israeli Crimes In Palestine

According to UN Watch, the texts condemn Israel for “repressive measures” against Syrian citizens in the Golan Heights, renew the mandate of the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), and renew the mandate of a UN special committee to investigate “Israeli practices affecting the human rights of the Palestinian people.” Through the resolutions, UN is "expressing grave concern at the especially difficult situation of the Palestine refugees under occupation, including with regard to their safety, well-being and socioeconomic living conditions."

Bolivia – A Color Revolution – Or A New Surge For Latin American Independence?

November 20, 2019 By Peter Koenig, Globalresearch.ca Educate! Bolivia, Latin America, Nationalism, Regime Change

It’s become a classic. It’s being called a Color Revolution, and it’s been taking place on all Continents. The list of victim-countries includes, but is not exhaustive – Colombia, Honduras, Argentina, Paraguay, Ecuador, Chile, Brazil, in some ways also Uruguay (the current left-leaning government is powerless and has to remain so, otherwise it will be “changed”… that’s the name of the game) – and now also Bolivia. – Then there are Georgia, Ukraine, Iraq, South Sudan, Libya, Afghanistan, Indonesia...

US Announces Illegal Israeli Settlements Are No Longer Illegal

November 20, 2019 Staff, Middleeasteye.net Educate! BDS, Israel, Nationalism, Occupation

The United States' announcement that Israel's settlements in the occupied West Bank are not "inconsistent with international law" has been met with widespread derision and rejection, with one Palestinian leader calling it "a threat to global stability, security, and peace". On Monday, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the Trump administration believes "that what we've done today has recognised the reality on the ground", rolling back decades of policy in Washington. "The establishment of Israeli civilian settlements is not, per se, inconsistent with international law," Pompeo told reporters.

Atlanta Rail Line Shut Down In Solidarity Rojava Kurds

Report Back From Atlanta On Occupation Of Train Tracks Outside Of Arms Manufacturer Tied To The Turkish State. Around 4:00 pm a crowd of mostly costumed people gathered together for a “Halloween Isn’t Dead” potluck at Whittier Mill Park in the North West part of Atlanta, GA. They ate, played football, and explored the woods. Around them children swung on a swing set and teens relentlessly threw a frisbee. The parents split their time between nervously watching their kids and being deep in conversation with one another.

International Solidarity With The Kurds Energizes Revolution On The Ground

November 19, 2019 By Shane Burley, Truthout.org Resist! Kurds, Middle East, Nationalism

As Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan flew into Washington, D.C., on November 14, to meet with Donald Trump, anti-fascist and international solidarity activists were flooding into the streets in protest. “The protest is in opposition to Turkey’s aggression toward North Syria,” says Flint Arthur, vice president of the American Rojava Center for Democracy. Arthur participated in the D.C. protests to “oppose Turkey’s ongoing attacks, invasion and occupation of North Syria,” a region known as Rojava.

Spending On US Border Enforcement Now A Staggering $24 Billion Annually

November 19, 2019 By Vicki B. Gaubeca, Todd Miller and Dan Millis, Truthout.org Educate! Borders, Nationalism, Racism, Spending

The southern border region is a place of hope and opportunity, where more than 15 million people live in peace and harmony with our southern neighbors, and work hard to provide for our families, just like countless communities across the country. But our states have been subjected to decades of deadly border policies that have torn apart the very fabric of our communities. As leaders of environmental and human rights groups based in the southern border states, we are calling on Congress to reject the profit-driven, dangerous push for endless border militarization.

Lessons Learned From Moving To Palestine

November 16, 2019 Mazin Qumsiyeh, Qumsiyeh.org Educate! Israel, Nationalism, Palestine

It has been ten years since I returned to Palestine after living in the US for nearly three decades. Those ten years in Palestine have been truly phenomenal and inspirational despite the pain and agony associated with them. For example, they are bracketed by an attack on Gaza in 2008 when we saw hundreds of Palestinian civilians murdered and by the attacks on Gaza and on the freedom flotilla trying to break the siege on Gaza in 2018. In between much pain that I relayed in my weekly email messages including losing 19 of my personal friends killed by the Israeli colonization army.

Gaza Death Toll Climbs, Tensions Rise After Israeli Assassination Of Islamic Jihad Leader

November 14, 2019 Yumna Patel, Mondoweiss.net Educate! Airstrikes, Gaza, Israel, Nationalism, Palestine

Tensions are high in Gaza after Israel’s targeted assassination of an Islamic Jihad leader led to intense cross border fire between the territories, resulting in the death of more than 20 people, including children, and the injury of more than 70 others. The violence began overnight on Monday when Israel launched airstrikes in both Gaza and Syria, targeting senior leaders of the Islamic Jihad group, prompting a barrage of rocket fire from Gaza and concerns that Israel was restarting its practice of targeted assassinations of Palestinian political figures.

When A Whole Society Supports A Terrorist Organization

November 13, 2019 Jonathan Ofir, Mondoweiss.net Educate! Gaza, Israel, Nationalism, Occupation

After the 2008-9 Israeli onslaught on Gaza that took 1500 lives, a UN fact-finding mission concluded that the three-week campaign was “a deliberately disproportionate attack, designed to punish, humiliate and terrorize a civilian population.” Note the word “terrorize.” But was this an isolated incident? Not at all. Israel has a long and sordid history of state-terrorist activity. There was the pre-state terror, which eventually served as a means of ethnic cleansing, known as the Nakba of 1948. Those Palestinians who tried to return were shot by the thousands, most of them unarmed.

Another Europe Is Possible

November 12, 2019 By Yanis Varoufakis, Greattransition.org Strategize! Austerity, Europe, Nationalism

I went into politics because of the financial crisis of 2008. Had financial capitalism not imploded, I would have happily continued my quite obscure academic work at some university. The chain reaction of economic crises, financial bailouts, and the rise of what I call the Nationalist International that almost broke financial capitalism, and brought Greece severe hardship, had a profound impact on me. In the early to mid-2000s, I was beginning to feel that a crash was approaching. I could see that global financial imbalances were growing exponentially and that our generation or the next would be hampered by a systemic crisis.

Europe’s Greed Is Fueling The Migration Crisis To Europe

November 5, 2019 Vijay Prashad, Independent Media Institute, Globetrotter Educate! Europe, Immigration, Nationalism, Racism

If you ask African migrants in Europe who came across the Mediterranean Sea in a boat if they would make the journey again, most of them would say “yes.” Many of them had been in vans and trucks that took them across the dangerous Sahara Desert, and many of them had been on board vessels that struggled to get across the choppy waters. They might have seen their fellow migrants die of thirst or of drowning, but none of that halts their conviction that they’d cross the sands and the seas again.
