#Israel - The historic ICC arrest warrant marks the beginning of the end for Netanyahu: Marwan Bishara

21 November 2024

The International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes in Gaza.

It's also issued warrants for Hamas commander Mohammed Deif. Israel says he was killed in an airstrike in July. But that has not been confirmed. Lindsey Graham, a Trump ally, says it is time for the US government to penalise the ICC for its warrants against Netanyahu and Gallant. The European Union’s foreign policy chief, Josep Borrell, said that the decision to issue these warrants was “not political”, and that the court’s decision should be “respected and implemented”. Al Jazeera’s senior political analyst, Marwan Bishara, has praised the ICC’s decision to issue long-awaited arrest warrants for Israeli and Hamas leaders.

#MiddleEast - How Israel Won the West | The Big Picture

25 October 2024

The Big Picture: How Israel Won the West examines how Israel has come to occupy such a privileged and protected place in the Western world. It traces the journey of the Jewish people from biblical stories of origin through centuries of persecution and the advent of Zionism, all the way to the creation of Israel and its ensuing occupation of the Palestinian territory.

Along the way, what is revealed is a process of transformation, of how Jews went from being despised by early Christians as "Christ killers" – seeding a vile anti-Judaism that would mutate into anti-Semitism – to being considered part of the white Western world, sharing a common Judeo-Christian heritage.

13 November 2024

Eight international aid groups said Tuesday that Israel has failed to meet US demands for greater humanitarian access to the war-ravaged Gaza Strip, where hunger experts say the north may already be experiencing famine. 

However, the Biden administration said Tuesday it won't limit weapons transfers to Israel because the US says its key ally has done good but limited progress in increasing the flow of humanitarian aid to Gaza. Last month, Washington told Israel to boost aid to Gaza within 30 days, or else it could trigger US laws requiring it to scale back American military support.

#Amsterdam - police says it will arrest people defying demonstration ban: Al Jazeera English

10 November 2024

Police have clashed with protesters in the Dutch capital, Amsterdam and several people have been arrested as security forces try to prevent demonstrations. Protesters were rallying against the portrayal of Thursday's streets violence in the city between Israeli football fans and local people as anti-Semitic.

Authorities imposed a three-day ban on protests starting Friday following violence between supporters of Israeli football club Maccabi Tel Aviv and Palestinian solidarity protesters. The violence started after fans of the Israeli side tore down Palestinian flags and chanted racist slogans ahead of a match in Amsterdam.

Al Jazeera’s Step Vaessen has the latest from Amsterdam.

Israeli protesters marked 400 days since the hostages were taken when Hamas militants attacked southern Israel on October 7 last year.

This time, however, there was particular concern after Qatar said it was quitting its role of mediating ceasefire talks after growing frustration with the lack of progress.

In an interview with Middle East Eye, Marwan Muasher, Jordan’s former foreign minister, says that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s idea of Arab states accepting Israel amid ongoing tensions in the region is unrealistic.

Muasher said that the “Zionist project” is failing to fulfil its promise of a democratic and peaceful Jewish state and that “Israel is increasingly undemocratic,” peaceful, or secular. He also argued that the only way for peace is for Israel to end its occupation.

#Gaza #FrancescaAlabese #UNSpecialRapporteur #Israel - UN special rapporteur says sanctions must be imposed on Israel:

3 November 2024

Francesca Albanese says there is nothing that prevents a UN member state from abiding by international law, and states individually have an obligation not to aid or assist a state “which is committing atrocities day in and day out”.

“They have to stop those who are still transferring weapons [to Israel]… and also buying or purchasing military and security services from Israel must stop,” she told Al Jazeera.

Albanese said any trade with Israel must be “interrupted”, adding that diplomatic and political sanctions must also be applied.

“Whoever is not taking these steps is either responsible or completely indifferent to the plight of millions of Palestinians,” she noted.

Middle East Eye - The birth of #Israel and the death of #Zionism | Ilan Pappé | The Big Picture

1 November 2024

Israeli historian Ilan Pappé believes it can’t. In fact, he argues that the liberation of Palestine is an inevitability. Pappé is the author of 24 books on the Israel-Palestine conflict, and most recently published two books: ‘Lobbying for Zionism on Both Sides of the Atlantic’ and ‘A Very Short History of the Israel-Palestine Conflict’. This week on The Big Picture Podcast, we sit down with Ilan Pappé to talk about where the Zionist project originates, why it embraced settler colonialism and why he believes it will ultimately fail to achieve its goals.

AIPAC also lobbies for financial aid from the United States to Israel, helping to procure up to $3 billion in aid yearly, making Israel "the largest cumulative recipient of U.S. foreign assistance since World War II."

#Israel #Gaza - "Genocide as Colonial Erasure": U.N. Expert Francesca Albanese on Israel's "Intent to Destroy" Gaza: Democracy Now

31 October 2024

We are joined by U.N. special rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territory, Francesca Albanese, who says Israel is committing genocide on Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

Facing accusations of antisemitism from Israeli and U.S. officials, Albanese is in New York to present her report, titled "Genocide as colonial erasure," which finds that Israel's genocide is founded on "ideological hatred" and "dehumanization" and "enabled through the various organs of the state," and recommends that Israel be unseated from the United Nations over its conduct.

She argues that Israel's attacks on U.N. employees, including the killings of at least 230 U.N. staff in Gaza, its flagrant violations of U.N. resolutions and international law and the unique status of "the first settler-colonial genocide to be ever litigated before [an international] court" justify this measure. Israel's continued impunity,

Albanese warns, "is the nail in the coffin of the U.N. Charter."

#Lebanon #Hezbollah #Israel - Hezbollah supports ceasefire efforts in Lebanon, deputy leader says • FRANCE 24 English

8 October 2024

Hezbollah left the door open on Tuesday to a negotiated ceasefire with Israel after Israeli forces raised the stakes in the conflict with its Iran-backed enemy by making new incursions in the south of Lebanon. In what could be the latest in a series of major blows to Hezbollah, Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant said it appeared the replacement for slain Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah had been "eliminated". Hashem Safieddine, a top Hezbollah official, was widely expected to succeed Nasrallah.
