Suarez's "Palestine Hijacked - How Zionism Forged an Apartheid State from River to Sea" is a more up-to-date overview of the zionist occupation (done on sly and maintained with brutality). epub copy may be available for download. Jonathan Cook's latest articles expose the double-standards: western hypocrisy western media bias ---- If you have kids (or friends/relatives) who need to a quick, easy guide to the history of occupation of Palestine, share these:
Equanimity (or call it resignation at the whole of humanity that has failed them) with which palestinians have borne the latest genocide (and 70 years of apartheid) is amazing (and inspiring). A nation that fights (for its rights), is the nation that survives! Check videos of doctors & nurses discovering that their own children and family members have been martyred and then calmly going back to work. Mothers kissing their dead kids goodbye. A young child (bandaged from head to toe) comforting his father and exhorting him to be courageous. Too heart-rending to post here (but check these out anyway on Middle East Eyes & al-Jazeera). Guess what, sick hindu piss-drinkers are still exulting at these videos. Begaane ladai mein, ha-RAMi deewana!
as if merchant of venice will be banned from oxford and cambridge. the west is unapologetically inhuman and savage. good that they are providing evidence of their lack of humanity. they can stop lecturing the world about 'human rights'. 'human rights' my foot.
no need to hear his commentary or agree with him. but the video is good for visuals and for you to decide whats happening on the land. see how the settlers live and how palestinians - the loaded questions like: 'where should the jews go back' - the palestinian lady said it rightly: 'i don't know. from wherever they came from'. they are SETTLERS. stealing palestinian land. asking them to vacate is not being unreasonable.
How far zionists have succeeded in muzzling or co-opting the otherwise left-of-centre media is clear from the fact that the Guardian (who used to be bit balanced in coverage) is shamelessly parroting the Israeli lies and disproportionately focussing on israeli losses. Yesterday Guardian sacked cartoonist Steve Bell for anti-semitism. --- UK, Germany, France etc. have doubled down on popular pro-Palestine protests. Germany has banned kefiyyeh. Several football players who tweeted in support of Palestine have been forced to apologise (and are facing disciplinary action) whereas those footballers who standwithisrael are being celebrated. Western colonialists are frothing at mouth.
another advice to non-palestinian protesters. let us be humble enough to not propose solutions for the palestinian suffering and israeli terrorism, warcrimes, ethnic cleansing and genocide. palestinians are the best people to decide what they want. we can at best give them moral support. if any of our ulama happen to sit on a panel or asked to comment, we should not propose solutions. we should only condemn israeli crimes and ask to end apartheid and seige of gaza. and that israel should be held responsible for violating international laws, which it routinely violates with impunity. many desis also do not know that palestinians as an ethnic-national group are among the most intelligent people - and highly educated. they don't need our advice - all they need is our support. no other people would have survived under such brutal occupation and still thrive as "the most educated refugees in the world". https://cupblog.org/2023/08/23/why-...-the-worlds-best-educated-refugeesanne-irfan/ ---- one should read scores of books on the palestinian struggle and the inhuman israeli aggression to at least get an idea of what is going on the ground. chomsky, finkelstein, ilan pappe, edward said prominently among others.
Yesterday I came across paid youtube ads planted by Israel - #standwithisrael#, #hamasisisis#. Such a pathetic attempt by desperate zionists to further the (long debunked) lie about the beheading of babies. Even if 1,300 israelis died, more than 300 of these were israeli soldiers killed while attempting to flee the military bases. Several more were ex-conscripts (which most of the population is anyway). Several of the festival ravers were caught in crossfire. Listen to this first-hand account: Some of the so called hostages have given Hamas clean chit.
how many of you watched the sensible hamas statement 1712738101108384185 is not a valid tweet id --- compare this with the bloodlust and brazen bragging of barbaric western/israeli spokesmen. the west, US, UK, EU, israel - the so called 'civilised world' - but no better than bloodthirsty savages and cannibals. frankly, i even doubt that 1200 israeli are dead. the cynic in me thinks that while a few hundred might have died, israel blew up this number just to justify their disproportionate response - whcih are anyway warcrimes.
exactly. you must watch mustafa barghouti - calm collected and packed with data. fareed zakaria looks shell shocked as if barghouti slapped him literally: ==== husam zumlot's outings in bbc and cnn were excellent. he refused to engage in jewish propaganda.
MH could have done much better (and it's easy to do so, given the hypocrisy and lack of reason on the other side). I don't like him, but he seems to have a huge online following. He straight away walked into the 7th Oct, condemn Hamas trap. Palestinian ambassador and analysts have done a much better job side-stepping the incorrect equivalence that West (read judeo-christian) media desperately tries to create. https://youtube.com/shorts/tjO_MNh-L1E
