Israel’s War in Gaza Is Nothing but a War of Annihilation

Iris Leal It is, of course, not the first instance in history in which a regime builds a community of crime, as historian Adam Raz has described, and expands it to the entire nation: war crimes, annihilation of life-support systems, killing 20,000 children Smoke rises as a residential building collapses after an Israeli air strike,… Read More Israel’s War in Gaza Is Nothing but a War of Annihilation

Erasing Palestine in the name of Jewish trauma: Jewish Voice for Labour (Nov 2024)

Seeing Things Clearly: How projecting past persecution onto Palestinians only perpetuates the war… We need to see what is really happening in all its precision… Only then can we see what specific political responses are necessary. Instead, a substitution occurs, Nazis are substituted for Hamas, the Holocaust for acts of political violence.

The new barbarians

NB: Waiting for the Barbarians by JM Coetzee (2017); and The Natural History of Destruction by WG Sebald (1999); are two books that show the mirror to ‘Western civilisation’ and Israel, inheritors of an atrocious history of exterminism and genocidal mania stretching from the Roman destruction of Carthage till the Armenian genocide of 1915, the… Read More The new barbarians

Israel’s Assassination of Memory

The campaign of erasure banishes intellectual inquiry and the dispassionate examination of history. It celebrates magical thinking… The Israeli government bans public commemorations of the Nakba… a day of mourning for Palestinians who seek to remember the massacres and expulsion of 750,000 Palestinians carried out by Jewish terrorist militias in 1948 for this reason. Palestinians… Read More Israel’s Assassination of Memory

For Once in Our Lives

We’re Right Again. Now that it is too late, it’s no longer forbidden to use the word “genocide” in polite company. Now, as Gazans starve, as they are shot by soldiers from the Israel Defense Forces while seeking food aid at sites run by the farcically-named Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, the world has decided it is, after all, “against this.” Only recently,… Read More For Once in Our Lives

All this leads us back to the 1940s and Raphael Lemkin’s definition of genocide, which he modeled on Nazi-occupied Poland. That line of thought should not be dodged, or… Read More Bulldozing Gaza

Israeli military preparing to expel Gaza City residents as baby in tent among those killed in latest attacks

NB: The US-UK-Israel Axis is a sinkhole of murder and depravity. They will never recover any moral status whatsoever, not in this century nor the coming ones. Infamy is forever. May God protect the Palestinian people, whom humanity has abandoned. I salute those in the Western world who are resisting the criminal actions of their… Read More Israeli military preparing to expel Gaza City residents as baby in tent among those killed in latest attacks

Israel is wiping out Gaza’s journalists – and it’s no longer even hiding it

Hanno Hauenstein: German media helped pave the way for Israel’s murder of journalists The laws of war are clear: journalists are civilians. To target them deliberately is a war crime Jodie Ginsberg Israel always boasted that it was the only country in the region to support press freedom. That boast rang hollow even before the current war. Now, it’s… Read More Israel is wiping out Gaza’s journalists – and it’s no longer even hiding it
