Deputy Mayor of Jerusalem, Fleur Hassan-Nahoum, lies about the mass graves with Gazans who had their hands bound behind their backs, near Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza.

“They were all Hamas,” doesn’t excuse or explain away torture and war crimes. Remember, the IDF killed their own citizens who were waving white flags, unarmed, and yelling “Help!” in Hebrew, so I do not believe for one second that all of the bodies discovered in the mass grave were all Hamas fighters. And even if they were, prisoners of war have rights. And this isn’t me being pro-Hamas, it’s a basic ass acknowledgement of the Geneva Convention that it’s a fucking war crime to bound and then summarily execute dozens of unarmed prisoners — who were more than likely just regular Gazans seeking shelter and medical care.

But once you're labeled a “terrorist,” unfortunately anything that Israel does to “defend” itself is automatically deemed acceptable. And the bar to being labeled a terrorist is actually quite low. It's practically nonexistent.

To recap, Israel has turned off the water and electricity going into Gaza; has bombed multiple hospitals and UN schools and churches and “safe” zones; Israel has shot dead and massacred unarmed starving people who were trying to get food; Israel has bombed food delivery trucks with noncombatants; Israel continues blocking healthcare and food aid to starving Palestinians; Israel is committing ethnic cleansing and genocide in plain sight of the entire world—and Israel is very clearly lying about it. But for some reason, anyone who dares apply even an ounce of common sense and acknowledge the reality unfolding right in front of our eyes, they are accused of antisemitism.

I’m glad that the ICC is finally issuing arrest Israeli warrants. I only wish that it happened about 45,000 murders sooner.

Indigenous embassy opens in Jerusalem

"The Jewish people are the indigenous people of the land of Israel and so we are thrilled with the support of the global first peoples' community," says Hassan-Nahoum.

Indigenous groups from around the world have come together to open an embassy in Jerusalem.

Located at the Friends of Zion Museum, it was opened by Jerusalem’s Deputy Mayor Fleur Hassan-Nahoum on February 1.

The ceremony attracted expressions of support from indigenous leaders from Singapore, Taiwan, Samoa, American Samoa, Hawaii, Tahiti, New Caledonia, Solomon Islands, Australia, Papua New Guinea, Cook Islands, Tonga, Fiji, New Zealand, Native American chiefs and paramount chiefs from Southern Africa.

“The Jewish people are the indigenous people of the land of Israel and so we are thrilled with the support of the global first peoples’ community,” Hassan-Nahoum said.

Embassy director Dr Sheree Trotter, from New Zealand, said, “One of the falsehoods underlying the [recent] surge in antisemitism is the narrative that Jews are ‘foreign colonisers’ who have ‘oppressed and dispossessed the indigenous Palestinians’. Many indigenous peoples reject this historical revisionism and recognise the Jewish people as indigenous to the land of Israel.”

She says the embassy is getting support from indigenous groups around the world, including North and South America.

“I have connections with indigenous friends in Australia, and I’ve reached out to them. We’ve got a large network across the Pacific and all the way from Taiwan to Hawaii and a lot of Pacific nations which we’re all connected to,” Trotter said.

Jerusalem Deputy Mayor claims there are no Christians and churches in Gaza

There's crazy behind those eyes

Doikayt speaks to me, this idea that we can focus on our struggles here and strive for more complete liberation here. But I do wonder about the dichotomy this sets up between “here” and “there.” When we hold onto the Israel/diaspora dyad, we actually perpetuate the idea that Israel is the center and we are dispersed from the center—even as we attempt to assert that that former periphery is a new center. Thinking of Israel as “there” rather than “here” still gives it pride of place; it still occupies half of the entire framework. The other problem is when New York becomes the only “here”!

There are many more nodes in our contemporary experience than “here” and “there,” and I wonder if a Sephardic approach can give us some ways to think about that. There is a famous French philosopher, born Edgar Nahoum, who took the surname “Morin” in the French Resistance during World War II. His family was Ladino-speaking Jews from Salonica who received a French education in the part of the Ottoman Empire that became Greece; they had Italian passports and distant converso roots. Reflecting on the multiplicities of his family experience, he coined the concept of “poly-enracinement,” or “multi-rootedness.” For me, the idea of multi-rootedness has a lot of potential, because it brings us out of the dichotomy between “there” and “here” by saying that there can be multiple “heres.” We should think about the multiplicity of spaces and communities that we’re connected to—if that can help us make sense of the multiplicities of the Sephardic experience, and the Jewish experience in general.

"Los 283 cadáveres de palestinos encontrados en una fosa comun el Hospital Nasser eran todos terroristas. Atamos de manos a los terroristas y luego no sé si defendieron con las manos atadas". Fleur Hassan-Nahoum, vicealcaldesa de la Jerusalén ocupada, dice absurdamente que los palestinos fusilados por los sionistas, encontrados en las fosas comunes del hospital Nasser, "se defendieron con las manos atadas". Esta criminal colona sionista nació en Londres y creció en Gibraltar, luego se fue con su familia a robar y ocupar tierras en Palestina.

It seems hard to believe that there would be a demonstration in support of Iran in the heart of the Jewish state, but that’s what happened Thursday in Jerusalem’s Independence Park. About 100 Israelis, most of them women, came together to support women in Iran who are fighting the regime following the brutal death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini last month at the hands of the so-called morality police.

There were posters with the rallying cry the women in Iran are saying at demonstrations, “Women, Life, Liberty,” and photos of women who have been killed, along with fresh flowers. For many of the demonstrators, it was a way to support Iranian women.

“I cannot believe that such a thing is happening to women anywhere in the world, and I am appalled that women can be kidnapped, tortured and murdered because they’re not wearing their hijab correctly,” said Linda Lovitch, a media and communications consultant. “As a feminist, I think it’s important to give them a voice.”

She came to the rally with several young Iranian-Israeli women she met on the Clubhouse app, where she also speaks with Iranians. One of those young women, Shelley Salemnia, 31, who made aliyah less than a year ago from “Tehrangelis,” the heavily Iranian section of Los Angeles, came to the rally from Caesarea.

“I came because I really have a deep need to support the Iranian people, especially the Iranian women who’ve had to live under the regime all this time,” she said.  “I’m lucky that my family was able to get out [of Iran]. But our Persian roots are deep within us no matter where we are in the world. I want to tell the Iranian people that Persian Jews are here, Israelis are here, and despite the regime, we have no borders between us.”

Some of the other demonstrators said they still have family in Iran and are concerned for their welfare.

 “It’s extremely scary when you’re trying to talk to your cousin, and there’s a blackout and you don’t know if she’s alive,” said Yehudit, who did not want to give her last name. “You feel kind of useless, so at least I can do this.”

The rally was organized by Jerusalem Deputy Mayor Fleur Hassan-Nahoum and Shoshana Keats Jaskoll, the founder of Chochmat Nashim, a religious-feminist organization.

Keats Jaskoll became tearful as she spoke to the crowd.

“As a religious woman and someone who chooses to cover her hair [for reasons of Jewish modesty], the idea of a woman being taken off the street and killed or beaten because she didn’t make that choice is something that I can’t live with and something that I have to stand against,” she said.

Hassan-Nahoum thanked the participants for coming and said she realized the timing of the rally after the High Holy Days and before Sukkot was not ideal.

Nevertheless, the rally sent an important message to the regime in Iran, Hassan-Nahoum said.

“We’re not against the people of Iran, we’re against the cruel regime of Iran, which kills women and denies them freedom,” she said. “We are dreaming of the day when Iran can join its neighbors in the Abraham Accords and make peace with Israel.”

There was even an Iranian DJ, Rani Amrani, who led the protesters in a chant in Persian that is being repeated all over Iran.

“Zan, Zangagi, Awdazi,” he taught them, and then repeated it in English, “Woman, Life, Freedom.”

Dozens of people have been killed in the three weeks of protests in Iran. Along with Amini, outrage has spread over the death of Nika Shahkarami, 16, who went missing after a protest on September 20 and was found dead 10 days later. Many of the protesters in Iran are schoolgirls, and at least seven women are among the 90 people who have died in protests.
