Horrific: More than 160 Gazan medics are still being held in Israeli prisons, with many said to be tortured and starved. Detention of healthcare workers is illegal under international law, whilst also eradicating the healthcare of Palestinians. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

"The Israelis shot and killed an innocent young woman and then caused the death of her unborn baby, too. Shocking, right? Depraved? Murderous? And yet, as of Monday morning, there was no mention of Sundus Shalabi on...the New York Times or the BBC" - me, for Zeteo:

Yesterday President Trump outlined his vision for the Middle East: transferring Palestinians out of Gaza with no option to return. This should be called out for what it is: ethnic cleansing. This plan is dangerous and must be stopped. Full statement: yachad.org.uk/trumpgaza0225/

Nazi salutes in week one. State-sanctioned ethnic cleansing in week four. But all the scumbag apologists who dared to talk about ‘over-reaction’ are still too bent and/or invested to row back.

It’s all theatrics and performative. Trump creates the problem or challenge. Trump then offers a fake fix or solution to the fake problem or challenge. Trump sycophants then cheer him as a genius and a political leader and problem-solver for the ages. Rinse and repeat. Theatrics. That’s it.

Israeli commentators now discuss daily the option of "relocating" the population of Gaza out of the strip. The vast majority rule this out as "unrealistic", some mention that it's a war crime, but the very fact that this is discussed as a potential course of action is making it so. 1/

RIP Hind Rajab. Today is one year on since this little six year old was killed (my daughter's age) - and then so were the two brave medics who came to rescue her, as agreed by the IDF, as she cowered in her family car with her family dead around her. I will never forget this story.

Trump said he wants to “clean out” Gaza and push the millions of Palestinians living there into neighboring countries. There is a name for this — ethnic cleansing — and it’s a war crime. This outrageous idea should be condemned by every American. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

For Jews, defining oneself vis-a-vis Zionism means two things. Firstly, how you feel about the history of the Zionist project. Secondly, how you feel about the Zionist mainstream, in the diaspora or in Israel (very different contexts). It does not translate to well defined political platform. 1/

The violence against Palestinians in the West Bank is a reminder that genocide, ethnic cleansing and apartheid have not ended. We will never stop opposing the occupation of Palestine because we believe in a simple and moral truth: every human being deserves to live in freedom.

A ceasefire is a relief but it’s no justice for Gaza. Israel has murdered tens of thousands of people and left even more traumatised, disabled, and homeless. I can barely imagine what life will be like for Palestinians in the coming months and years. It’s more than any people should endure.

Wowzer, JC going full antisemitic - trying to throw the entirety of global Jewry under the bus to stop anyone having a breath of sympathy for any Palestinians. This is not even helpful to Israel. It’s pure desperation to assist a murderous Netanyahu.
