In this thread @MouinRabbani explains why the ethnic cleansing being perpetrated by Israeli forces in Gaza is as obvious as it is horrifying. It is a crime forhold. It is unbearable to witness.
THREAD: Senior Israeli leaders, including Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, are again publicly advocating the ethnic cleansing of the Gaza Strip. Their proposals are being presented as voluntary emigration schemes,

Israel is ethnically cleansing Hebron.
דיברתי עכשיו עם חברים פלסטינים מחברון, אלפי פלסטינים פונו מבתיהם מהרגע להרגע לא כי הם עשו משהו, לא כי הם יודעים משהו, לא כי הם הביעו תמיכה במפגעים. רק בגלל שם שכנים של שני פלסטינים שהרגו שני חיילים שלנו. זאת עזפיקציה של הגדה המערבית, ממשלת ישראל יודעת שלהרוס את הבתים של לפחות 2,000 פלסטינים חפים מפשע זה לא מביא ביטחון. אבל זה כן מביא את תחושת הנקם שהמתנחלים מתענגים עליה בריקוד שלהם על דם החיילים הצעירים שאיבדו את חייהם. המתנחלים רוצים דם אלימות ואפרטהייד אנחנו רוצים חיים ושלום בין העמים. גם ובעיקר על זה הבחירות

It’s called collective punishment and forced displacement. It is illegal under international law.
Israeli forces demolished homes and damaged roads in Hebron in the occupied West Bank, forcing around 1,200 Palestinians to leave their homes a day after a Palestinian attack killed two Israeli soldiers reut.rs/3ULnOwX

A very disturbing case, which it is good that the German Middle East Association has taken up.
At the German Middle East Studies Association, we express grave concern about the dismissal of our colleague Prof Michelle Pace by Roskilde University @roskildeuni for having taken a stance on the genocide against Palestinians and Danish Migration Policies. 1/3

I want to tell you what has been happening here for over a week. All crossings have been closed. Nothing is entering Gaza. You might wonder: How can closing the crossings cause a humanitarian crisis so quickly? Because Gaza has been completely destroyed. We are surrounded by endless rubble. No functioning factories, farms, poultry, or livestock remain. No electricity. No infrastructure. We have been forced into just 28% of our land, where we can barely find space to pitch our tents. Most agricultural land is now beyond the so-called “Yellow Line,” leaving us unable to grow food or raise animals. Everything we eat depends on what enters through those crossings. This is what they have reduced us to: a population entirely dependent on doors they can close at any moment. After destroying our ability to survive on our own, all it takes to starve us is closing those doors.

I guess it wasnt about Hamas or the hostages after all, but always about ethnic cleansing. Who’d have known!!
Tonight in Hebron and throughout the West Bank, residents—including women and children—were evacuated from their homes. This is not what a war to eradicate terror looks like. This is what terror looks like.

Collective punishment is a war crime. Israeli troops have levelled a neighbourhood in Hebron, driving out hundreds of families in collective punishment for a militant attack on an army checkpoint outside the West Bank city: theguardian.com/world/2026/o…

Genocide is still on. Principled action - from states, companies, institutions and people - is needed to stop it. Worldwide strike- Oct 30.
100+ PORTS. WORLDWIDE. NO MORE WEAPONS. On October 30th, dockworkers, seafarers, students and communities in more than 100 ports around the world are standing together to say one thing: NO MORE WEAPONS. War doesn’t run itself. It runs on our hands loading the cargo, and on our silence when blockades are enforced. Governments and corporations that profit from it have counted on both for too long. From now on, they get neither. NO TO THE WAR MACHINERY. We take the ports. We take the streets. We shut it down. Oct 30th Action map link: gsumud.link/OCT30

The EU had months to identify solutions and implement them. Instead they sought to appease the predator-in-chief. And guess what? The only response was escalation. The era of the predators is also the era of the cowards. So now what? Continue to appease? “Negotiate”? Or take resolute actions, providing the ICC with the support it needs to continue its operations, such as alternative, Euro-only banking and payment systems that operate strictly in Euros and via European servers that would allow the EU to safeguard funding to the ICC, NGOs and all those cooperating with the Court? It has never been enough to simply declare, however emphatically, one’s commitment to international law and justice. One cannot compromise with or appease a predator, because either way we all end up on his menu.
EU Member States are serious about protecting the @IntlCrimCourt and a world governed by international law. In The Hague, I met ICC President Tomoko Akane to convey the EU’s strong support for the Court, its judges, and their work. The European Council has expressed its deep regret over the U.S. announcement to impose sanctions against the ICC and has urged to reverse them. The EU will use the next six months for dialogue, to find a solution and explore what more we can do to help the Court. The Sakharov Prize recognises the ICC’s vital work in giving victims of the gravest crimes a voice. The Court must remain able to pursue justice independently, free from pressure or intimidation.

The new “progressive” Democratic position—that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza and enforcing apartheid in the West Bank, where settler terrorists run rampant with government and military support, yet we shouldn’t impose an arms embargo or support the Palestinians’ right to resistance—is completely incoherent and indefensible.

Awful to see this. Sending love and solidarity to my friend @VlStarodubtsev. Hoping for his quick recovery and for the perpetrators to be brought to justice.
My friend Vlad Starodubtsev, a Ukrainian veteran and historian, was beaten up in Lviv today by a group of far-right thugs for trying to give a history lecture. According to Social Movement, a Ukrainian democratic socialist organization, about 20 of them attacked him in broad daylight, just before the talk was supposed to start at the group's office near Lviv University. The lecture was on the history of the labor and socialist movement in Galicia. This is an attack on the freedom of speech that journalists, academics and activists depend on. It's vital that attention be drawn to this issue so that authorities take appropriate action. If you are journalist reading this, please consider covering it, and following up with authorities.
