I can hardly imagine anyone who hasn’t seen this photograph. But it was taken on this day in 2000.
I cannot believe the photo is 26 years old now.
The boy in the photograph was Fares Odeh. He was just 14 years old.
Ten days after this image was captured, Fares went out again to throw stones at Israeli tanks, seeking to avenge the killing of his 17-year-old cousin.
An Israeli sniper shot him in the neck, killing him.
And there is another chilling detail to this photograph.
The photo changed Israeli tank doctrine. In August 2001, The Jerusalem Post quoted an anonymous tank doctrinist saying tank personnel were now instructed to fire upon rock-throwers.

Israël maakt zich schuldig aan uitroeiing, vervolging, verkrachting en foltering op de Westelijke Jordaanoever, met als doel om de Palestijnen te verdrijven. Dat staat in een nieuw onderzoeksrapport van de VN. Nederland verzaakt in het naleven van de aanbevelingen.

Israel allows 2 million Palestinians with Israeli citizenship (who did not become refugees in 1948) to vote and run for office while it denies that right to 6+ million it has kept under a brutal illegal occupation for nearly 60 years.
That is not democracy. It is Apartheid.
Israel’s Arab citizens, men and women, are turning out in historic numbers to vote. They can vote, run for office, and serve in the Knesset, rights denied to many Arabs and women across much of the Middle East.
Our critical ally in the fight against terror, Israel, is the only democracy in the region, and today shows it.
"Hierom is Israël geen democratie, maar een apartheidsstaat – zoals bevestigd door Internationaal Gerechtshof in 2024." "Om hun eigen ondergang democratisch te vertragen, moeten Palestijnen politieke medewerking verlenen aan hun eigen ontmenselijking."

"Future of #Israel now depends on its Arab citizens and on attitude of its Jewish citizens toward its Arab ones. Eighty years after Nakba and establishment of Jewish state, Israeli Palestinians may determine its fate. Is there greater historical justice than that?"

@hubertsmeets laat geen glimpje licht toe in dit betoog. Gelukkig hebben we altijd @ewaldeng nog om ons van Poetins vredelievendheid en compromisbereidheid te overtuigen.

Israel just elected a new batch of Knesset members who make the old lot look tame. 💀
Like, how much more genocidal can this political system get? They’ve spent 3 years turning Gaza into a graveyard, and somehow the answer at the ballot box is MORE extremism, MORE bloodlust, MORE calls to crush Palestinians.
Wut kind of society keeps normalizing this level of bloodlust and then electing even more of it?
Een schande. "Nederland lijkt internationaal recht niet langer als vanzelfsprekend uitgangspunt voor de internationale betrekkingen te nemen..." Gastland van Internationaal Gerechtshof en Internationaal Strafhof. Echt een grote schande.

In @trouw: de stad #Zaporizhzia (700.000 inwoners) ligt inmiddels in de ‘killzone’: de Russen bombarderen alle business kapot. “Ze willen ons verjagen. Ze willen ons bangmaken, zodat we al hun eisen inwilligen.”
Het @CIDI_nieuws ís een lastercampagne, samen met @_NIW_ en haar geradicaliseerde hoofdredactie.
"Op 25 september lanceerde het CIDI een lastercampagne tegen een Palestijnse student aan de Universiteit Maastricht. In de dagen erna kwam een hetze op gang die nergens op bleek te berusten. Toen was de schade al aangericht."

EU responses to:
1) Russia's holding of elections on illegally occupied land (condemnation, non-recognition, sanctions on those involved)
vs.
2) Israel's holding of elections in its settlements on illegally occupied land (congratulations, no mention of the occupation)

Apartheid South Africa had WAY MORE colored members of parliament than Israeli Arabs in the Knesset
Apartheid's 1983 Tricameral Parliament allowed 2.8 million colored & 850,000 Indian citizens to vote. 42% of parliament members were colored & Indian Reps.
Still Apartheid!

Israel is NOT a democracy!
A democracy grants equal citizenship to all its subjects. Israel's "democracy" excludes 6 million Palestinians whose lives it completely controls; it keeps 8 million more shut out in exile; & it passed a 2018 nation-state law that officially designated the 2 million Palestinians with Israeli citizenship as 2nd class citizens.
That decades-long demographic engineering to maintain an 80% Jewish majority is the exact opposite of a democratic system.
Liberal democracy means equal protection & rights for all citizens. Israel's ethnonationalism privileges a core national or ethnic group. The two cannot be combined!
An "ethnic democracy" (Israel's system) is a contradiction in terms. It doesn't uphold the principles of political equality and non-discrimination because it structurally privileges one ethnic group over another.
Institutionalized ethnic dominance inherently relegates minorities to a secondary political or symbolic status, creating systemic instability and limiting equal protection under the law.
That's why Human Rights Watch concluded that Israel maintains an apartheid system between the River and the Sea, including against Palestinian citizens of Israel.

If Israel wasn’t a Jewish supremacist society [“Zionist] then all the headlines today would be that Netanyahu lost and that a strong Jewish-Arab government in Israel that champions democracy and personal security can place a way forward

The most laughably stupid Israeli hasbara line you’ll hear today: “Arabs can vote in Israel, so it can’t be apartheid.”
Now tell me: how can more than 700,000 Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, vote in Israeli elections, while Palestinians living in the same territory cannot?

"Palestinians are voting in Israel to ensure their very survival
When genocide, apartheid, discrimination and rampant violent crime has become the norm, Palestinian citizens of Israel are casting their ballots seeing their existence on the line"
