I was invited to watch NAZA and asked to sit on Q&A panels afterwards to discuss. Here are my thoughts on what the film reveals and what it shields. The story told and the target it misses. #naza #israel electronicintifada.net/conte…

a reminder that Israel is not a real country. It doesn't have declared borders. It doesn't have a constitution. Its population does not have family roots in the land prior to the modern advent of zionism. They don't have a native culture, native food, dance, or stories.
Israel is literally the greatest heist of the 20th century that expelled an ancient society and turned their land into a jewish supremacist military outpost murdering its way through time, and constantly cobbling together new stories about itself to suit the latest political whims, while destroying everything that threatens their latest flimsy narrative.
God and the Bible have nothing to do with this abominable entity. They're not "chosen." They're not "a light." They're the biggest and most dangerous charlatans the world has ever known.
That was not a democratic election. It was another act in this absurd theatre we're all forced to endure.

This headline on this date of publication with little to no media/political coverage or outrage and zero material impact on the lives and safety of Palestinians is proof that there is no such thing as international law.
It’s the law of the jungle out there, and some of you are still condemning the prey for not just dying quietly.

Watch this.
Lubna Speitan, author of the Greens4Palestine motion “Zionism is racism”, spells out the central obscenity of our age – the grotesque inversion whereby the victims of ethnic cleansing, Apartheid and genocide must constantly fend off accusations from their tormentors that it is they who are the racists.
“We as Palestinians are being silenced and gaslit and vilified [as we] witness the annihilation, the cold-blooded murder of our families, of our people… our children burnt with phosphorus, having to endure amputations with no anaesthetic, having their limbs torn and shredded, their bodies burnt by phosphorus, being starved to death … And to have to sit here … and try to bury my feelings so I can eloquently and diplomatically shield my anger, my rage, my anguish that every Palestinian is feeling, is an insult.” /1

Oxford Union censored @susanabulhawa's incredible November 2024 speech about Palestine and the racism of Zionism.
But she lawyered up. The union has now been forced to restore the full speech to their YouTube channel.

Your definition of Zionism does not matter. Nor does mine. Zionism is defined by its material manifestations. The purpose of a system is what it does. And the Zionist system does racism and genocide. Simple. Please spare me the arrogant insufferable graaating Oxbridge debates. Your opinions are irrelevant. People are dying.

"das sogenannte Palästina ... Judäa und Samaria"
Israel vernichtet regelrecht jegliche Existenz von Palästinensischer Staatlichkeit, besetzt und beansprucht Gebiete im Libanon und Syrien, definiert nicht die eigenen Grenzen, alle Israelischen Führungspolitiker:innen reden ganz offen von "Großisrael", aber für Prof. Dr. Augsberg sei es umgekehrt: Palästinenser:innen würden Gebiete im Staat Israel beanspruchen.
Mehr muss man über diesen menschenverachtenden völkerrechts- und verfassungswidrigen Gesetzesentwurf "Existenzrecht Israels" nicht wissen.

Only a very stupid person would look at the latest google maps satellite images of Gaza and still be regurgitating the 70,000 death toll figure.
We have known since last year that the estimated figure is closer to 700, 000.
But let’s just wait for Israel to investigate its own war crimes and confirm, yeah? 😒

The notorious international fugitive from justice, Benjamin Mileikowsky (a.k.a Netanyahu), indicted by the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity, principal architect of the ongoing genocide in Palestine, universally despised, and blocked from travel to most countries on the planet, will enter the United States with US-guaranteed impunity this week.
He will even be allowed to enter UN premises and to address the UNGA, received as a VIP rather than the blood-soaked war criminal that he is.
This represents a clear breach of US obligations under Common Art. 1 of the Geneva Conventions and
Article 1 of the Genocide Convention.
But this stain also extends to the UN itself, as the UNGA has still not yet taken action to remove the UN credentials of the Israeli regime, the UNSC has legitimized the regime and buttressed its impunity with its unlawful endorsement of the complicit “Board of Peace,” and the UNSG has yet to call out the genocide three years into the carnage.
The genocidaires are not just walking among us, they are ruling over us. They are trying to normalize genocide and apartheid. We, in our millions, must act to denormalize these scourges, to hold the perpetrators and accomplices accountable, and to ensure they never have a moment’s peace until justice prevails. #ToTheHague

We must demand that Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor immediately release the names of every soldier to whom they granted confidentiality in their documentary NAZA while documenting admissions of war crimes.
There is something fundamentally perverse about creating films and journalism centered on Israeli soldiers confessing to atrocities against Palestinians while simultaneously protecting those soldiers from identification and potential accountability.
Palestinian suffering cannot simply become material through which Israeli filmmakers interrogate their own society, generate discourse, win acclaim, or invite audiences to contemplate the psychology of the perpetrators. These testimonies contain admissions of war crimes. The question cannot end with what these soldiers said or how their confessions made an audience feel. The question is what accountability follows.
Otherwise, Palestinian suffering is once again transformed into spectacle, while the people responsible for inflicting it remain protected.

The fact this group of “lawyers” hasn’t, yet, been declared vexatious litigants, the fact that its members haven’t, yet, been disbarred from practising in UK considering their blatantly wrong pronouncements on international law, these facts make me worried for our legal system.
