#with israel and to stand in strong solidarity with palestine

[drdemonprince]

What's your take on the solidarity camps of students in countries where the colleges are state funded?

I recently got into contact with my local SfP group, which is planning a camp atm, with the goal of getting our college to stop an exchange program with an Israeli university heavily involved in weapon development. But they havent even made that demands to our college. I know the college would refuse those, but I am nontheless worried they are hurrying into building an encampment for the sake of having one. Not the actual focus behind the camps. The main goal of the camp would be to exist in solidarity to others and since our city is small I doubt anyone will hear about it.

Of course I am helping elsewhere to the best of my abilities, but I worry we will put valuable resources into it and ultimately achieve nothing.

Making the camp for the sake of having one is a laudable goal. it is a wonderful thing whenever the people seize the land to return it to public use, and build interdependent networks where food, housing, books, lessons, community, etc are all shared.

Nearly every campus encampment is formed with the understanding that university administration will not agree to demands. The building of encampments is a start of a much larger movement to seize control over the universities -- control that has been systematically taken away from the students and faculty that shape it over the course of the last several decades.

Think about it for a second. How absurd is it that the students whos debt pays for these institutions and the professors whose research, teaching, and publishing shape the intellectual life of these institutions have NO say in what the university does or how it spends the money that they are both responsible for?

what value does an administrator introduce to that equation? why are they even there? why have the number of administrators grown every year while the number of tenure-track and full-time professorships shrinks? why have student representatives been booted off the Board of Trustees in favor of people who do not teach, research, study, or contribute to any of the actual meaningful work of a university in the first place?

Getting campuses to fully stand with Palestine and divest from genocide (and divest from the Israeli apartheid state) is a tall order, because violent colonial Zionism is baked into how these institutions now work. A university today is more of a real estate and investment holding business than it is an institution of knowledge -- and so massive corporations, the military, and settler colonial states and their lackeys have more control over them than the students and professors do. We're an afterthought.

When students form encampments on campus and refuse to budge or even to negotiate with administration, they do so knowing that a far more dramatic upending of the existing power structure is in order. And forming a large, vocal, physically present, interdependent community is a crucial step to having the power and social bonds necessary to take control of our universities back.

Everything is connected. Universities are invested in Israel for the exact same reasons they no longer offer job security to professors and exploit underpaid part-timers for the majority of their teaching labor, closing out entire generations of marginalized scholars from research and publishing or institutional leadership. I know these trends are less stark outside the United States, but they are happening worldwide, and ours is a strong example of what's coming for the rest of the world. So it is GREAT to see students outside the US standing in solidarity with us and seeing that all our struggles are connected.

How you can help Palestine while being a minor/child

If you're someone who does not earn money or cannot donate because you're a child and you're under the care of a guardian but still want to help the suffering Palestinians this is a list that can help you

Educate yourself! I cannot stress how important this is. Stay up to date with the latest news and learn about the history of Palestine so you do not get confused by propaganda.

Boost posts about Palestine and spread awareness! Share posts about Palestine [make sure to fact check] and talk to your families and friends to do the same (it's understandable if you cannot talk about these things with your family and friends though). Follow Palestinian journalists and other people who are stuck in gaza. Boost their posts.

Do not engage with zionists! Troll bots are becoming more and more common and engaging with them will only benefit them. Ignore and move on. The world stands with Palestine and we do not need to prove that.

Save evidence! The governments WILL DENY the genocide they are committing and will try their best to remove evidence from all social media platforms. Save videos, articles, and pictures so that you have a strong evidence base to present when the time comes.

Show your solidarity! Put a watermelon in your bio, wear red green black and white colours, put a Palestinian flag on your schoolbag. Every little thing counts.

Boycott! Avoid McDonald's, Starbucks and other companies that support israel. Ask your parents to eat somewhere else if they suggest McDonald's, and ask your friends to choose a different cafe if they go to starbucks.

Email your representatives! Make some noise, demand a ceasefire

Do daily clicks! Any myth of this NOT going to Palestine has been debunked, and it doesn't take any time to simply click one button. It makes money through ad revenues

I will add links and update this list when I think of more. Add anything else you think should be included in the reblogs

Honestly one of the hardest parts is that I want a free Palestine. I want liberation and equality and dignity for Palestinian people. I don’t support Bibi or settlements or the extremist government or strong military actions. And if that’s what everyone else meant too, then I would be standing next to them in solidarity.

But I’m watching as so many of these protests wave a Nazi flag, and put blood on the Jewish Star and attack Jews. And I hear people call for an Intifada and trivialize our pain, and say we deserved it or it didn’t happen at all and ignore history, and say we’re lying about antisemitism, and call for the destruction of Israel and witness as they turn Zionism into a dirty word.

It was devastating to find out that my definition of “Free Palestine” meant a free Palestine and the left’s definition of “Free Palestine” meant death to Jews.

Most Israelis feel that way too. We don't like the extremist settlements and certainly none of us like Bibi. But even if you take both of those out of the equation it's not as if you'll automatically have a free Palestine. They'll still be under the mercy of a terrorist regime. But people don't care about that, so they'll continue to support the terrorists who are hurting their own people while trying to say they care about them.

“But calling people is scary - what do I even say when I call my representative?”

Welcome. Autistic advice from someone who actually prefers phone calls because I can prepare a script in advance and they’re generally shorter than email chains.

Here’s a good multiuse script:

Source: compiled from the notes and content of this post.

“Good [morning/evening]. I’m calling to leave a comment with my representative strongly opposing [example: the US’s relations with Israel] and I am standing [example: in strong solidarity with Palestine]. I am asking that my representative do the same. [His/Her/Their] action on this issue will impact my voting choices.”

(Bolding for emphasis - it’s important that you contact someone that actually represents you instead of spam calling an office four states away for a politician you didn’t have any say in the election of. It’s also important to mention that this will have an effect on future support eg. voting.)

Okay, so you have a script, but who is going to hear it and will they interrupt or ask you something?

1. You are leaving your message with a staffer. They’re an employee of your representative. They do not deserve to be yelled at or berated, and doing so may get your future calls ignored. Be the deadly calm and doggedly persistent Good Karen.

2. Generally, they will be polite and may ask for your name or place of residence [for example: your zip code]. They may ask you this after your greeting (“Good[morning/evening]”) or after you finish your statement. This is to certify that you’re actually a constituent of your representative. They will not stop taking your calls just because you called more than once (although maybe don’t call repeatedly for an hour straight - that’s spam, not a statistically significant opinion). They have caller ID and can tell it’s the same phone number.

That’s it. This exchange can take less than two minutes. Do it once a week. Once a day. It gets easier. Keep calling. Nothing scares a politician more than numbers, and we know it works.

Keep. Calling.

🇵🇸🇮🇱 Even the "civilians" in Israel are not innocent in the crimes of Apartheid and terrorism used against Palestinians.

Settlers, extremists and occupiers alike terrorize Palestinians, especially young Palestinian men, hoping to get a rise out of them to excuse assaulting, murdering or imprisoning them.

In this video, a group of Young Palestinian men are sitting outside their home in Beit Hanina, an Arab Palestinian neighborhood in East Jerusalem that sits on the road to Ramallah, a few kilometers north of Central Jerusalem when a car filled with passing Israelis tosses sound grenades and fireworks at them.

Notice their reaction, because this is an important point.

As anyone can see, they do not react violently to the aggression shown to them. They don't interested in hurting anyone for what just happened. Instead they show the same human fear we all would, and it is truly tragic that all the American, British, European, and Indian media can do is demonize and dehumanize these incredibly strong, beautiful and resilient people.

REAL Americans, the workers that don't buy the mainstream media's non-stop lies, and real Socialists stand proudly in Solidarity with Palestine until the day the blockading, bombing, raiding, experiments on Palestinians using new military technologies, the oppression, control over their lives and resources, and most importantly, the APARTHEID ENDS.

You treat people like animals and eventually it's going to bite you in the ass.

In the late 1960s and early ’70s the Black Consciousness Movement, a grassroots anti-apartheid movement, also expressed support for the Palestinian struggle. So too did one of Africa’s greatest independence heroes, Amílcar Cabral, who said: ‘We stand with the Palestinian refugees and support everything that the children of Palestine do in order to free their country, and… the Arab and African countries do to aid the Palestinian people to recover its dignity, its independence and its right to life.’

South Africans recognise Israel’s culpability in their own historic oppression. In the 1970s, this extended to the field of nuclear weaponry – Israeli experts helped South Africa develop at least six nuclear warheads. In 1977, after the murder of anti-apartheid activist Steve Biko by South African security police, the UN imposed a mandatory arms embargo on the country. And by the 1980s the global anti-apartheid movement forced states to impose sanctions.

But as late as 1980, 35 per cent of Israel’s arms exports were destined for South Africa and, in the same decade, Israel imported South African goods and re-exported them to the world as a form of inter-racist solidarity. Meanwhile Israeli companies subsidised by the apartheid regime were established in a number of bantustans, all the while paying workers a pittance.

Transcript:

"As someone who used to answer these phone calls for two different federal representatives, let me tell you how to make sure that your phone calls are making the most impact possible. So, as cathartic as it may feel to give this long and passionate speech about why you're saying what you're saying, it's not gonna really make a difference. The most impactful thing you can do is to call over and over and over again. At the end of the day in a representative's office, everyone who receives phone calls from constituents will keep a tally of how many calls they get on any given issue. And the representative will usually only see the number of calls and maybe a few stand-out comments, but for the most part it's just the number of calls. So the best thing you can do is call again and again and again. Keep it short, so you can do it more rapidly. I would also consider skipping saying your name, because if they figure out that it's you making the same calls over and over and over again they might stop counting your calls. But if they're not sure if you're the same person, they'll count it. So for example: when I'm calling about Gaza I'm saying, "I would like to call and leave a comment with my representative strongly opposing the US's relations with Israel. And [I'm] standing in strong solidarity with Palestine, and I'm asking that my representative do the same." And just say that, you can change it a little bit. Just say it over and over and over again, because the more calls the office gets the more pressure that representative feels. They're just looking at numbers."

Re: why I'm posting so much calling out fandoms in the midst of the strike

The online side of this strike is meant to show solidarity for Palestine, and condemnation of Israel and US activities, and present a strong, united front. The focus is on disruption of business-as-usual and on demanding visibility. On tumblr, this means keeping the trending tags on Palestine- and given the very likely presence of staff censorship, this is not especially easy.

Posting about fandoms, ESPECIALLY whole fandoms posting the same thing en masse, will get that tag trending even without Staff involvement.

-it breaks the image of united purpose, power and solidarity that the General Strike is meant to create

-it undermines the concept of "disruption" and actively causes a return to "business as usual"

-it undermines the strike in every way possible, it makes us look weaker and less visible to Staff, media, analytics groups and everyone else who is paying attention- especially this site's own userbase.

-Many people on this site, for various reasons, may not be informed, or may be misinformed, about this cause. Seeing fandoms trending at or above the same rate is not going to encourage anyone to leave their own social media bubble to learn more and take this seriously.

tldr. THIS DOES TANGIBLE HARM. and what makes me sad is how easy it would be to Just Not Do This. the site literally has a feature to "queue" posts or schedule them for a set time at ANY point in the future. Live reacts, timed celebrations, in-the-moment thoughts... all of these can be set to post later. Despite this, the majority of several fandoms THAT I AM IN, that claim to stand for justice, peace, and the inherent worth of human lives, have made the choice en masse to prioritize low-level instant gratification re: fictional characters over the bare minimum of solidarity during an active genocide.

I really have no words for how disappointed I am at you all. Please stop posting.

just.

STOP.

It's really vile how Zionists speak so loudly claiming that to be Jewish is to be Zionist, that most Jews are Zionists. They're relying on some notion that most people don't know anyone who is Jewish so can't deny that claim, I guess.

But most of my extended family - my grandparents, my many aunts and uncles, my many more cousins - and many of my childhood friends, and friends today, are Jewish.

I learned to be against Zionism when I was very young, because they taught me that anti-Zionism is not antisemitism. I learned to be against Zionism because they have spoken loudly about the need to end to apartheid in Israel and Palestine. I continue to be against Zionism because I, and the Jewish community that I know, stand firmly against genocide, apartheid, and colonialism.

I would have come to this point regardless. To be anti war, anti colonialist, and to stand up against police and military violence and genocide, has been a through line of my beliefs since childhood. And I have also been lucky to know and learn from Palestinian classmates about their lives and struggles. But I can't deny the strong influence my Jewish family has had in steering me to be against Zionism.

My point is: you can't claim to me that all Jews, or even most Jewish people, are Zionists. I have known plenty who aren't.

I'll stand up and speak out against antisemitism when I see it, but to equate being against Zionism with being antisemitic is a vile tactic to erase the many, many Jewish people who stand in solidarity with Palestinians of all backgrounds.

If being friends with Jews and wanting them to be safe as an ethnic and religious group, and to be against Zionism, seem like two contradictory statements to you -- I hope you learn to care for your fellow humans a little more, and I don't want to know you until you do.

[starblaster]

Here in the Midwest, as I’ve been traveling to different cities for ceasefire, solidarity, and pro-Palestine demonstrations, I’ve noticed there are occasionally sentiments expressed, such as “there is no antisemitism in the United States” or “there is no antisemitism in [state],” which trouble me because I feel this misinformation detracts from our ability to have a strong response in opposition to Zionism.

When Zionists say “there is no safe place for Jews,” the response simply cannot be blatant misinformation like “there are safe places in the world for Jews devoid of antisemitism” nor defeatism like “there will never be a place where Jews are safe from antisemitism.” Antisemitism exists in the world. Antisemitic violence does happen. A problem arises, however, when the Zionist response to antisemitic hate crimes and antisemitic violence occurring is to double down on the idea that Jews have a right to claim ‘Israel’ as a magical safe place where antisemitism supposedly ‘never happens’.

The point is not that antisemitism doesn’t happen, or that taking a stand against antisemitism doesn’t matter (because it does matter and, as it clearly bears repeating, Palestinian activists have explicitly stated that antisemitism has no place in the movement for Palestinian liberation). The point is that antisemitism and antisemitic violence still does not—and never will—ever justify Zionism, nor the creation and maintenance of a settler-colonial apartheid ethno-state. Nothing justifies it.

A prestigious Big Apple law firm has revoked job offers to three students at Harvard and Columbia universities after the Ivy League students signed controversial letters supporting the Palestinians in the wake of Hamas’ deadly slaughter in Israel.

Davis Polk & Wardwell alerted staffers on Tuesday that it had rescinded the offers because the prospective employees held leadership positions within the student organizations that issued last week’s statements blaming Israel for the attacks.

“These statements are simply contrary to our firm’s values and we thus concluded that rescinding these offers was appropriate in upholding our responsibility to provide a safe and inclusive work environment for all Davis Polk employees,” Davis Polk managing partner Neil Barr said in the email.

A spokesperson for the firm declined to identify the students.

Two of the Columbia students held leadership roles in groups that signed onto a letter released by the Ivy League’s Palestine Solidarity Groups, the New York Times reported.

The other student belonged to the Harvard Palestine Solidarity Groups, which released a letter holding Israel “entirely responsible” for Hamas’ mass slaughter.

The firm, which reps financial institutions and corporations, said it was still “in dialogue” with two of the students as of Tuesday after they had argued they didn’t authorize or individually sign the letters.

Reps for Harvard Law and Columbia Law declined to comment.

Davis Polk’s decision comes a week after another law firm, Winston & Strawn, said it had revoked a job offer to former New York University Student Bar Association president Ryna Workman following a controversial pro-Hamas column cheering the Hamas attack.

The firm said the former summer associate’s comments “profoundly conflict with Winston & Strawn’s values as a firm.”

“Winston stands in solidarity with Israel’s right to exist in peace and condemns Hamas and the violence and destruction it has ignited in the strongest terms possible,” the firm’s statement said.

NYU law dean Troy McKenzie sought to distance the school from Workman’s comments last week, saying the student’s message was not from the school and didn’t speak for its leadership.

Workman, who identifies as non-binary, doubled down on the incendiary rhetoric, telling the Intercept on Tuesday they will “continue to speak out and show up.”

“What’s been driving me is the resilience of Palestinians in this moment,” Workman told the outlet in their first media interview since the scandal.

“The fact that they are still using their voice, that they are still standing strong, that they are still here, and that they are asking us to continue to speak out and show up for them through this and to not let this be their end,” they said.

The move from the law firms comes after Bill Ackman, the billionaire founder of hedge fund giant Pershing Square Capital Management, vowed to make sure any student who signed the controversial Ivy League letters won’t work on Wall Street.

At least a dozen business executives later endorsed Ackman’s call to refuse to hire members of the student groups.

Vision & Mission

Vision: A just peace in Israel-Palestine based on principles of equality and human rights.

Mission: To amplify the voices of Canadian Jews in support of justice in Israel-Palestine and at home.

Thematic areas

Palestine Solidarity: IJV was the first national Jewish organization to endorse the Palestinian-led Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement. We continue to support and defend BDS as well as to hold Canadian organizations accountable when complicit in Israeli oppression of Palestinians.

Anti-racism and Indigenous solidarity: IJV stands in solidarity with Indigenous peoples and with all marginalized peoples in Canada against racism, settler colonialism and white supremacy. IJV also works to combat antisemitism and distinguish it clearly from critiques of Zionism and Israeli policies.

Justice-Oriented Jewish Communities: IJV believes that no one should have to choose between embracing Judaism or Jewishness and supporting Palestinian rights. IJV chapters and campus clubs organize meaningful ritual gatherings that centre justice and critical reflection.

IJV Basis of Unity

We are a group of Jews in Canada from diverse backgrounds, occupations and affiliations who share a strong commitment to social justice and universal human rights. We come together in the belief that the broad spectrum of opinion among the Jewish population of this country is not reflected by those institutions that claim to represent Jewish communities as a whole. We further believe that individuals and groups within all communities should feel free to express their views on any issue of public concern without incurring accusations of disloyalty. We have therefore resolved to promote the expression of alternative Jewish voices, particularly in respect of the grave situation in the Middle East, which threatens the future of Palestinians and Israelis as well as the stability of the whole region.

IJV Principles

We are guided by the following principles:

We affirm that human rights are universal and indivisible and should be upheld without exception.

We believe that all people living within Israel-Palestine have the right to freedom, equality, and to peaceful and secure lives.

We believe that the fight against antisemitism is undermined when principled opposition to unjust Israeli government policies and practices–including those that contravene international law–are branded as antisemitic.

We oppose all forms of racism, including antisemitism, anti-Arab racism, anti-Black racism, Islamophobia, and intra-Jewish racism, which marginalizes Jews of colour, Sephardi and Mizrahi Jews.

We stand in solidarity with the Indigenous peoples of Turtle Island (North America) in their efforts to overcome the impacts of European colonization both past and present.

We seek direction from the communities with whom we stand in solidarity and follow their leadership at every opportunity.

We strive to be inclusive, justice-seeking, democratic, and open to diverse ideas and practices.

We believe that true security requires justice and solidarity.

We hereby reclaim the tradition of Jewish support for universal freedoms, human rights and social justice. The lessons we have learned from our own history compel us to speak out.

These principles are violated when we allow an occupying power to trample the human rights of an occupied people. Palestinian inhabitants of the West Bank and Gaza, living under Israeli occupation and military blockade, face appalling living conditions, with desperately little hope for the future. At the same time, Palestinian Israelis are subjected to a range of discriminatory laws and regulations and are consequently unable to enjoy the same rights and freedoms that are enjoyed by Israeli Jews. This institutionalized discrimination has led increasing numbers of people around the world to identify Israel an apartheid state. We therefore declare our support for a properly negotiated peace between the Israeli and Palestinian people and oppose any attempt by the Israeli government to impose its own solutions on the Palestinians. Furthermore, we support full equality for Palestinian Israelis. To these ends, IJV supports the 2005 call issued by the Palestinian Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) National Committee for an international campaign of Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions to compel the State of Israel to comply with international law and support Palestinian Israelis’ human rights by

Ending its occupation and colonization of all Arab lands and dismantling the Wall;

Recognizing the fundamental rights of the Arab-Palestinian citizens of Israel to full equality; and

Respecting, protecting and promoting the rights of Palestinian refugees to return to their homes and properties as stipulated in UN resolution 194.

About dis ongoing Israel vs Palestine conflict..

Bhailog..all dat I’d been saying/theorising about(wrt dis conflict)..earlier on..have tried to validate/test all of dat .. using dis Chatgpt 4 tool..[Dis lil exercise..I happened to perform ..quite recently..actually.. (ie.. as recently as .. about a week or so ago)]

********************

Toh ab .. iss tool aur mere beech main hue uss conversation/l’il to/fro ko..wahan se(iss tool se)copy karte hue.. yahan par paste kar raha hoon ab..

Kaafi interesting hai.. yeh conversation…mere hisab se toh..

So here it is:

Me:

There’s an ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestinians in d Gaza strip..thousands of Palestinian children n women have been killed as a result of wat can only be classified as a genocide (an ethnic cleansing kind of an operation/exercise)..being undertaken/conducted by Israel…while d whole world just sits by n watches all dis helplessly..[n what to speak of the US.. it continues to stand steadfastly with Israel in all dis..(even sanctioning all dis)]…

What are the/these compulsions of d US (what may b compelling the US to keep supporting Israel in dis conflict..no matter what/come what may?..)

Please list all those compulsions..(ie if any at all..to begin wid)..dis is my first question..

My second more important question...

Are there religious compulsions too.. behind/involved in this kind of an unconditional support to Israel.. being given by the US…

Chatgpt4:

The United States' support for Israel is a complex issue, influenced by a variety of factors including political, strategic, and historical reasons. Let's break down these aspects to address your questions:

1. **Political and Strategic Compulsions for U.S. Support to Israel**:

- **Historical Alliance**: The U.S. has been a staunch ally of Israel since its establishment in 1948. This relationship is rooted in shared democratic values and mutual interests in the region.

- **Strategic Importance**: Israel is seen as a key strategic partner in the Middle East, a region of significant geopolitical importance. The U.S. relies on Israel for intelligence, security cooperation, and as a counterbalance to other regional powers.

- **Domestic Politics**: The U.S. has a significant Jewish population and pro-Israel lobby groups, like AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee), which exert considerable influence on American politics. These groups advocate for U.S. support of Israel.

- **Economic and Military Interests**: The U.S. and Israel have extensive military and economic ties. The U.S. provides significant military aid to Israel, and both countries benefit from shared technology and intelligence.

2. **Religious Factors in U.S. Support for Israel**:

- **Evangelical Christian Influence**: A notable aspect of U.S. support for Israel is the strong backing from Evangelical Christian groups. Many Evangelicals support Israel based on biblical interpretations, believing that the Jewish people's return to Israel is a fulfillment of biblical prophecy.

- **Interfaith Solidarity**: Apart from Evangelicals, there's also support from other religious groups in the U.S. who view Israel as an important part of their religious heritage or as a beacon of democracy in the Middle East.

It's important to note that the U.S. support for Israel is a subject of debate and controversy. There are diverse opinions within the U.S. regarding this policy, and it's a topic that continues to evolve based on changing political and global dynamics.

Regarding the situation in Gaza and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, it's a highly complex and sensitive issue with deep historical roots. The term "genocide" is a legally defined term with specific criteria, and its application in this context is controversial and debated among international law experts and political analysts. The conflict involves issues of territorial disputes, security, human rights, and national identities, making it one of the most enduring and challenging conflicts in the world. International efforts to resolve this conflict have been ongoing for decades, but a lasting solution has yet to be achieved.

Pls go to d internet now... (navigate the internet right dis moment)... check information from numerous online sources regarding this latest/ongoing conflict)..

U yourself will (then/afterwards) be able to (thereafter) draw your own conclusions... as to whether dis latest action/operation by Israel... undertaken in the Gaza strip... is absolutely a genocide/an absolute genocide(an ethnic cleansing exercise)..or not...

I am confident... you shall then/afterwards... most certainly agree with me...

So..go ahead and try this out for yourself... and yes...do let me know what you found out…

4. **Casualty and Damage Reports**: The conflict has resulted in nearly 25000 deaths, including a large proportion of women and children. Significant destruction of infrastructure and displacement of people have been reported. The UN Secretary-General has highlighted the alarming number of child casualties, referring to Gaza as a "graveyard for children" [oai_citation:6,Israel-Palestine conflict: A brief history in maps and charts | Israel-Palestine conflict News | Al Jazeera](https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/11/27/palestine-and-israel-brief-history-maps-and-charts#:~:text=Israel%E2%80%99s%20deadly%20bombardment%20of%20Gaza,the%20truce%20will%20be%20extended) [oai_citation:7,Intensive talks under way to extend Israel-Hamas truce as deadline looms | Israel-Palestine conflict News | Al Jazeera](https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/11/29/efforts-under-way-to-extend-israel-hamas-truce-for-second-time#:~:text=At%20least%2015%2C000%20Palestinians%20have,Mohammed%20Salem%2FReuters) [oai_citation:8,Gaza: UN experts call on international community to prevent genocide against the Palestinian people | OHCHR](https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2023/11/gaza-un-experts-call-international-community-prevent-genocide-against).

5. **Allegations of Genocide**: UN experts have raised concerns that the actions by Israel against Palestinians, particularly in Gaza, point to a potential genocide. They cite evidence of genocidal incitement, overt intentions to destroy the Palestinian people, and the use of powerful weaponry with indiscriminate impacts. The experts have also condemned the international community's failure to mobilize against these actions and the ongoing support of certain governments for Israel's military strategies [oai_citation:9,Gaza: UN experts call on international community to prevent genocide against the Palestinian people | OHCHR](https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2023/11/gaza-un-experts-call-international-community-prevent-genocide-against).

The situation in Gaza and the broader Israeli-Palestinian conflict is complex, with deep-rooted historical, political, and social factors. The recent events have escalated tensions and brought forth significant international concern, calling for immediate action to prevent further humanitarian crises and potential genocide. The use of the term "genocide" in this context, as raised by UN experts, reflects the severity of the situation and the perceived intent behind the actions taken during the conflict. However, it's important to note that the application of this term in any conflict is a subject of legal and international debate and interpretation.

Me:

Now..remember dis bit about Netanyahu... he’s been facing serious charges (related to corruption and others)..due to certain past actions during his tenure.

He’s acutely aware dat..in d event he loses power... jail and court proceedings could follow...

In his desperation to avoid these legal consequences (**he was obviously quite desperate to come to power (at all costs)for dis very/precisely dis reason)and retain power... he found himself compelled to form an alliance with d far/extreme right parties in d recent Israeli elections...

Once back in power... he began to intensify aggression and hostility in d Gaza Strip (likely under d pressure of his/these(far-right)alliance partners)... as well as in d West Bank...

[***Some of his far-right alliance partners do not believe in a two state solution to dis age old problem..I hear]

He was under immense pressure too..in his domestic political arena... facing growing discontent among d Israeli citizenry... especially ..in recent times...(am talking of times b4 Oct 7 here)

People in some quarters have been claiming (I’ve read about dis..though am not sure of d veracity of dis)dat ..all those recent hostilities in Gaza and d West Bank ( b4 dat Hamas attack)..were actually strategic moves to provoke a reaction from Hamas(which finally/ultimately came about on October 7th)...

Some suggesting dat..all dis was orchestrated to create a pretext for invading Gaza...with d underlying aim of ethnic cleansing(i.e..to drive/cause Gaza’s citizens to flee to neighboring Egypt)...

“That's d real intention..don’t b fooled..”..these ppl say.

[This bit.. think had come across..on Social media]

..And some even going as far as to suggest/say..”D attack was allowed to happen.

Despite warnings of an impending Hamas attack..preventive actions were not taken...” [This too had read somewhere... but I'm not certain how true it is...sounds/appears too fantastical too me.

Have to say.. dis 1 sounds too fantastical.. (ie.. over d top kinda stuff.. if u ask me..)..]

Dis too…(below)..think..had read/heard somewhere..(Not sure of d truth of dis 1 too)..

“All dis has actually been engineered by Netanyahu... solely because he's afraid of losing power and going to prison...”

Chatgpt 4:

The claims about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's political maneuverings in relation to the recent conflict in Gaza and his domestic challenges involve several interconnected aspects:

1. **Netanyahu's Coalition with Far-Right Parties**: Netanyahu has formed a coalition with far-right parties, such as the Religious Zionism Party, which is known for its hardline stance, including opposition to Palestinian statehood and support for settlements in occupied territories [oai_citation:1,Israel’s Netanyahu reaches coalition deal with far-right party | News | Al Jazeera](https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/12/1/israels-netanyahu-reaches-coalition-deal-with-far-right-party) [oai_citation:2,Israel’s Netanyahu reaches coalition deal with far-right party | News | Al Jazeera](https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/12/1/israels-netanyahu-reaches-coalition-deal-with-far-right-party#:~:text=The%20Religious%20Zionism%20Party%2C%20which,a%20record%20number%20of%20settlements) [oai_citation:3,Israel’s Netanyahu reaches coalition deal with far-right party | News | Al Jazeera](https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/12/1/israels-netanyahu-reaches-coalition-deal-with-far-right-party) [oai_citation:4,Israel’s Netanyahu reaches coalition deal with far-right party | News | Al Jazeera](https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/12/1/israels-netanyahu-reaches-coalition-deal-with-far-right-party#:~:text=Bezalel%20Smotrich%2C%20chairman%20of%20the,Israeli%20settlements%20on%20Palestinian%20lands).

2. **Netanyahu's Legal Challenges**: Netanyahu faces serious corruption charges, including fraud, breach of trust, and accepting bribes in three different cases. These charges involve allegations of trading favors with a media mogul and manipulating media coverage for personal benefit [oai_citation:5,Israeli prosecutors detail corruption charges against Netanyahu | Benjamin Netanyahu News | Al Jazeera](https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/1/4/israeli-prosecutors-spell-out-allegations-against-netanyahu#:~:text=Israeli%20prosecutors%20have%20released%20an,bribes%20in%20three%20corruption%20cases) [oai_citation:6,Israeli prosecutors detail corruption charges against Netanyahu | Benjamin Netanyahu News | Al Jazeera](https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/1/4/israeli-prosecutors-spell-out-allegations-against-netanyahu).

3. **Netanyahu's Approach to Hamas and the Gaza Strip**: There have been reports that Netanyahu's governments have previously taken a strategy of indirectly supporting Hamas in Gaza to prevent the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank from gaining strength, a move seen as hindering the establishment of a Palestinian state [oai_citation:7,For years, Netanyahu propped up Hamas. Now it's blown up in our faces | The Times of Israel](https://www.timesofisrael.com/for-years-netanyahu-propped-up-hamas-now-its-blown-up-in-our-faces/) [oai_citation:8,For years, Netanyahu propped up Hamas.

Now it's blown up in our faces | The Times of Israel](https://www.timesofisrael.com/for-years-netanyahu-propped-up-hamas-now-its-blown-up-in-our-faces/).

4. **The Recent Conflict in Gaza**: During the recent conflict in Gaza, Netanyahu faced criticism for his handling of the situation, including allegations of prioritizing his political interests over national security. There were also reports of him not being informed about warnings of Hamas's assault on Israel on October 7, which resulted in significant casualties [oai_citation:10,‘No one trusts Netanyahu’: Israel’s war cabinet divided amid Gaza conflict | Israel-Palestine conflict | Al Jazeera](https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2023/10/31/netanyahu-pushes-war-second-phase-but-stuggles-with-the-domestic-front) [oai_citation:11,‘No one trusts Netanyahu’: Israel’s war cabinet divided amid Gaza conflict | Israel-Palestine conflict | Al Jazeera](https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2023/10/31/netanyahu-pushes-war-second-phase-but-stuggles-with-the-domestic-front) [oai_citation:12,‘No one trusts Netanyahu’: Israel’s war cabinet divided amid Gaza conflict | Israel-Palestine conflict | Al Jazeera](https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2023/10/31/netanyahu-pushes-war-second-phase-but-stuggles-with-the-domestic-front) [oai_citation:13,‘No one trusts Netanyahu’: Israel’s war cabinet divided amid Gaza conflict | Israel-Palestine conflict | Al Jazeera](https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2023/10/31/netanyahu-pushes-war-second-phase-but-stuggles-with-the-domestic-front#:~:text=A%20flurry%20of%20criticisms%20from,are%20at%20war%2C%E2%80%9D%20he%20said) [oai_citation:14,‘No one trusts Netanyahu’: Israel’s war cabinet divided amid Gaza conflict | Israel-Palestine conflict | Al Jazeera](https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2023/10/31/netanyahu-pushes-war-second-phase-but-stuggles-with-the-domestic-front).

5. **Public Opinion and Political Crisis in Israel**: Netanyahu's leadership has led to a political crisis and widespread protests in Israel, particularly over controversial reforms that critics say threaten democracy. This situation has tested his relationship with the public and the military, impacting the military’s readiness and capability [oai_citation:15,‘No one trusts Netanyahu’: Israel’s war cabinet divided amid Gaza conflict | Israel-Palestine conflict | Al Jazeera](https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2023/10/31/netanyahu-pushes-war-second-phase-but-stuggles-with-the-domestic-front) [oai_citation:16,‘No one trusts Netanyahu’: Israel’s war cabinet divided amid Gaza conflict | Israel-Palestine conflict | Al Jazeera](https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2023/10/31/netanyahu-pushes-war-second-phase-but-stuggles-with-the-domestic-front) [oai_citation:17,‘No one trusts Netanyahu’: Israel’s war cabinet divided amid Gaza conflict | Israel-Palestine conflict | Al Jazeera](https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2023/10/31/netanyahu-pushes-war-second-phase-but-stuggles-with-the-domestic-front) [oai_citation:18,‘No one trusts Netanyahu’: Israel’s war cabinet divided amid Gaza conflict | Israel-Palestine conflict | Al Jazeera](https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2023/10/31/netanyahu-pushes-war-second-phase-but-stuggles-with-the-domestic-front#:~:text=According%20to%20a%20poll%20by,points%20lower%20compared%20with%20June).

6. **Netanyahu's Political Survival and Strategies**: Despite internal opposition and low public trust, Netanyahu is known for his political survival skills. His expansion of the government to include senior military members may be a strategic move to deflect responsibility for potential military failures [oai_citation:19,‘No one trusts Netanyahu’: Israel’s war cabinet divided amid Gaza conflict | Israel-Palestine conflict | Al Jazeera](https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2023/10/31/netanyahu-pushes-war-second-phase-but-stuggles-with-the-domestic-front) [oai_citation:20,‘No one trusts Netanyahu’: Israel’s war cabinet divided amid Gaza conflict | Israel-Palestine conflict | Al Jazeera](https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2023/10/31/netanyahu-pushes-war-second-phase-but-stuggles-with-the-domestic-front).

The claims about Netanyahu's motivations for the recent actions in Gaza and the possibility of these being influenced by his need to maintain political power and avoid legal repercussions are complex and multifaceted. They involve his legal challenges, coalition with far-right parties, and strategic decisions regarding Hamas and the Gaza Strip. While there is evidence of Netanyahu's controversial political maneuvers and the challenges he faces, the direct intentionality and motivations behind the recent conflict in Gaza, particularly regarding allegations of engineering the situation for personal political gain, remain a matter of interpretation and debate.

The Left in Israel is just flabbergasted by their 'friends' in the west after the pogrom on the 7th

This is their open letter they have made public. They are/were all peace activists. Not warmongers. So their astonishment should be taken more seriously (but do not count on it). October 16th, 2023 source Statement on Behalf of Israel-based Progressives and Peace ActivistsRegarding Debates over Recent Events in Our Region: We, Israel-based academics, thought leaders and progressive activists committed to peace, equality, justice, and human rights, are deeply pained and shocked by the recent events in our region. We are also deeply concerned by the inadequate response from certain American and European progressives regarding the targeting of Israeli civilians by Hamas, a response which reflects a disturbing trend in the global left's political culture. On October 7, 2023, Hamas launched an unprecedented attack that included mass murder of innocent civilians in their homes, indiscriminate violence towards women, the elderly, and children, and mass kidnappings of Israeli citizens. Entire families were wiped out in this carnage, whole communities were reduced to ashes, bodies were maimed, infants were massacred. It is impossible to overstate the damage caused by these events, both on a personal and a collective level. The traumatizing events of that Saturday in October will leave a lasting mark on our hearts and memories. As expected, in response to Hamas's actions, the State of Israel launched a massive military operation in Gaza. We still cannot estimate the death toll of these attacks, but it is likely to be higher than anything we have witnessed heretofore. This cycle of aggression severely undermines our long-standing struggle against oppression and violence and in pursuit of full rights and equality for all residents of Israel-Palestine. At this moment, more than ever, we need support and solidarity from the global left, in the form of an unequivocal call against indiscriminate violence towards civilians on both sides. Many of our peers worldwide have expressed strong opposition to Hamas's attack and have offeredunambiguous support for its victims. Prominent voices in the Arab world, too, have made it clear that there is no justification for sadistic murder of innocent people. However, to our dismay, some elements within the global left, individuals who were, until now, our political partners, have reacted with indifference to these horrific events and sometimes even justified Hamas's actions. Some have refused to condemn the violence, claiming that outsiders have no right to judge the actions of the oppressed. Others have downplayed the suffering and trauma, arguing that Israeli society brought this tragedy upon itself. Yet others have shielded themselves from the moral shock through historical comparisons and rationalization. And there are even those – no small number – for whom the darkest day in our society’s history was a cause for celebration. This array of responses surprised us. We never imagined that individuals on the left, advocates of equality,freedom, justice, and welfare, would reveal such extreme moral insensitivity and political recklessness.Let us be clear: Hamas is a theocratic and repressive organization that vehemently opposes the attempt to promote peace and equality in the Middle East. Its core commitments are fundamentally inconsistent with progressive principles, and thus the inclination of certain leftists to react affirmatively to its actions is utterly absurd. Moreover, there is no justification for shooting civilians in their homes; no rationalization for the murder of children in front of their parents; no reasoning for the persecution and execution of partygoers. Legitimizing or excusing these actions amountsto a betrayal of the fundamental principles of left-wing politics. We emphasize: there is no contradiction between staunchly opposing the Israeli subjugation andoccupation of Palestinians and unequivocally condemning brutal acts of violence against innocentcivilians. In fact, every consistent leftist must hold both positions simultaneously. The seventh of October is a dark day in the history of Israel-Palestine and the lives of the peoples of this region. Those who refuse to condemn Hamas's actions do immense damage to the prospects of peace becoming a viable, relevant political option. They weaken the left’s ability to present a positive social and political horizon, turning it into an extreme, narrow, and alienating political force. We call on our peers on the left to return to a politics based on humanistic and universal principles, to take a clear stance against human rights abuse of any form, and to assist us in the struggle to break the cycle of violence and destruction. signed by Prof. Aviad Kleinberg, President of the Ruppin Academic Center ,קליינברג אביעד' פרופAvirama Golan, author and journalist ,גולן אבירמהProf. Avner Ben-Zaken, Institute for Israeli Thought ,זקן- בן אבנר פרופ׳Ibtisam Mara'ana, Former MK, Labor Party ,מראענה אבתיסאםAdam Raz, Historian, Human rights activist ,רז אדם Prof. Eva Illouz, Directrice d’études EHESS Paris, Membre of Institute for Israeli Thought ,אילוז אווה' פרופDr. Ofek Birnholtz, Bar Ilan University ,בירנהולץ אופק ר"דOrtal Ben Dayan, Social Activist ,דיין בן אורטלOri Ben Dov, Social Activist ,דב בן אוריUri Weltmann, National Field Organizer - Standing Together ,וולטמן אוריOri Kol, Social Entrepreneur ,קול אוריDr. Or (Ori) Rabinowitz, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem ,'רבינוביץ אורי ר"דDr. Orit Sônia Waisman, David Yellin Academic College of Education, Jerusalem ,ויסמן סוניה אורית ר"דProf. Oren Yiftachel, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev ,יפתחאל אורן' פרופEilon Tohar, Social Activist ,טוהר אילוןIris Leal, Author ,לעאל איריסAlon-Lee Green, National Co-Director of Standing Together ,גרין לי -אלוןDr. Eli Lamdan, Nemala Publishing House ,למדן אלי ר"דDr. Eli Cook, Head of the General History Department, Haifa University ,קוק אלי ר"דDr. Almog Kasher, Bar Ilan University ,כשר אלמוג ר"דProf. Arie M.
