As Millions Starve in #Gaza, #Israel Terminates Agreement With #UNRWA

"Restricting humanitarian access and at the same time dismantling UNRWA will add an additional layer of suffering to already unspeakable suffering," said the U.N. agency's commissioner-general.

#PSA Regular reminder that...

#Israel has existed long enough to have families whose #immigrant ancestors have all died of old age, and most #Israelis are from the #MiddleEast, while many of the #Jews who immigrated were fleeing persecution campaigns like the #Holocaust, and don't have anywhere else to go.

They exist, have a right to exist, and aren't realistically going anywhere.

#Palestine has existed for thousands of years, the vast majority of #Palestinian families have been there for so long there is no longer a clear record of when they got there, but genetic testing has shown that the typical Palestinian is descended from #Jewish people.

They exist, have a right to exist, and aren't realistically going anywhere.

The solution to the #IsraeliPalestinianConflict is to get past the violence, and get them to live in their shared region in #peace.

Anyone who says otherwise is #racist / #antisemetic / #islamophobic, and advocating #genocide, and their input should be rejected for it.

#Anthropology in a Time of Genocide: On #Nakba and Return

"As the essays in this series go to press, a genocidal war in #Gaza continues to escalate throughout Palestine and around the region. [..] In the face of this ongoing catastrophe, this Hot Spots series contributes to continued efforts to amplify and produce multi-dimensional and layered scholarship on #Palestine in regional perspective."

Oil prices surged as OPEC+ postponed its Dec production hike, pushing Brent to $75.04 & WTI to $71.48. Weak demand from China, the world's largest oil importer, weighs on the market, with China’s Congress expected to announce up to $1.4T in stimulus. A weaker USD ahead of the U.S. elections and escalating Iran-Israel tensions add volatility, with risks to oil infrastructure in focus.

Why the #Democrats were #Israel’s perfect partners in genocide

By masking support for Israel with hollow humanitarian gestures and empathy for #Palestinians, #Biden and #Harris have diluted pressure to end the war.

Viet Thanh Nguyen on Being Canceled Over Palestine: What if those were your people in Gaza?

In this episode of #FridayNightSemites, we sit down with Pulitzer Prize-winning author and professor Viet Thanh Nguyen, acclaimed for his book The Sympathizer (now a brilliant show on HBO Max). We discuss his experience of being canceled for speaking out for a ceasefire after October 7 and his thoughts on boycotting other artists—even those he strongly disagrees with. Viet opens up about the backlash he’s faced for standing in solidarity with Palestine, and we explore the myths, propaganda, and language shaping public perception of the Middle East.

He dives into his political differences within the Vietnamese-American community, how the U.S. treats immigrants versus refugees, and offers advice to young writers on creating political art during times of war and crisis. We also cover the broader themes of decolonization, anti-Semitism, and the colonial origins of how we talk about the Middle East. This is a no-holds-barred conversation on solidarity, history, and speaking truth to power when the stakes are high.

Whether you’re interested in the politics of Palestine, anti-colonialism, or how to navigate controversial conversations in the literary and academic world, this episode is for you. Join us as we unpack these critical issues with honesty and a bit of humor—because if we don’t laugh, we’ll cry.

Watch the full #interview now, and don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share for more conversations on the Middle East, decolonization, and beyond.

This type of bravery is constantly destroyed by #Iran and it's ilk in the #Middleeast to the point that the women are the only hope left for all Arabs to reform.

In dieser Folge sprechen Dr. Karin Kneissl und Flavio von Witzleben zunächst über die bevorstehenden Wahlen in den USA und die Frage, welche Bedeutung der Ausgang derselben für die Konflikte in der Ukraine und im Nahen Osten hat. Außerdem diskutieren die beiden die Wahlen in Georgien und den Vorwurf, dass diese von Russland beeinflusst wurden. Darüber hinaus geht es um Soldaten aus Nordkorea, die in der umkämpften Region Kursk zum Einsatz kommen sollen, wie es zahlreiche westliche Politiker behaupten. Des Weiteren wird in der neuen Folge die Lage im Nahen Osten rund um einen neuen Chef der Hisbollah sowie den anhaltenden, schweren Beschuss des Libanon thematisiert. Zum Abschluss wird noch auf die schwere Krise des VW-Konzerns sowie ein geleaktes Papier von Finanzminister Christian Lindner eingegangen.

Iran’s supreme leader on Saturday threatened "a crushing response” to Israeli strikes on his country, as the Pentagon said it would deploy additional resources to the region in the coming months. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/11/03/world/iran-leader-threatens-israel/ #worldnews #iran #israel #israelhamaswar #hezbollah #lebanon #middleeast #ayatollahalikhamenei #us


Iran’s supreme leader on Saturday threatened Israel and the U.S. over attacks on Iran and its allies. “The enemies, whether the Zionist regime or the United States of America, will definitely receive a crushing response to what they are doing to Iran and the Iranian nation and to the resistance front,” Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said in video released by Iranian state media. @AssociatedPress reports: https://flip.it/Mk_GNL

How to talk to Israel supporters
Sat 2 Mar 2024

"Alex McDonald’s When They Speak Israel, reviewed here by Steve Grant, explains to all of us how to engage. His basic assumption is that while some Zionists are dyed-in-the-wool racists or ethnonationalists, most are not. They sincerely believe they oppose racism but have been taught that support for Israel is justified — if not a solemn moral duty."

#israel #lebanon : #war / #hezbollah / #middleeast #usforeignpolicy / #analysis

„Without … a concentrated effort, the current trajectory of the conflict will produce further turmoil in Lebanon, as Israel continues to respond to Hezbollah attacks with disproportional violence that leads to more mass displacement. A campaign of chaos (…) might offer some limited political benefit to Netanyahu & his far-right government. For (…) Lebanese civilians, it will be a disaster.“

The Doctor Who Saw Children Shot in the Head in Gaza—and Tried to Tell the World

Dr. #FerozeSidhwa has spent six months talking about what he saw as an emergency physician in #Gaza. Why don’t people believe him?

Lana Nusseibeh, the envoy of the #UnitedArabEmirates, expressed the uneasiness of the Arab world that in the absence of “bold and perhaps uncomfortable decisions” to reverse the drift towards regional conflict, “the alternative is the hellscape of #Gaza expanded into the #WestBank, #Israel, #Lebanon, and other parts of the #MiddleEast”.

“#Russia now has an interest in prolonging this conflict in the #MiddleEast,” said a senior European diplomat in #Moscow, speaking on conditions of anonymity. He said he feared an all-out #Israel-#Hezbollah war would further derail any help for #Ukraine.

“Happy to hear the update that 56 more #Filipinos have left #Gaza amid the #Israel-#Hamas conflict, joining the 42 who had previously crossed. This brings the total to 98 out of the 137 originally in Gaza, now en route to #Cairo,” Marcos said on X. #RafahCrossing #Egypt

Sensing the West’s hesitancy and weakness, Israel may attempt to desperately spark a wider conflagration by increasing the amplitude of their falseflags—perhaps another USS Liberty-like incident or unilateral strikes on Iran meant to goad them into a response that would necessarily trigger a U.S. intervention. It’s my belief that this will be the chief danger to watch as, gripped by the terminal phase of its eschatological madness, Israel will be at its most unpredictable and dangerous to humanity at large.

Despite bans, hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets of major western cities to show their solidarity with Palestine.

Even though many cities across Europe banned pro-Palestinian demonstrations, the number of people resisting these bans grows daily.

The pressure from the people, combined with the growing realization of Israel's atrocities against Gaza, has forced the authorities to reluctantly allow these demonstrations.
