Written by Arnaud Bertrand on X:
Powerful words by 102 years old philosopher Edgar Morin, one of France’s most revered intellectual figures, as well as a Jewish WW2 resistant who fought as a lieutenant in De Gaulle’s France combattante. https://twitter.com/Bob30031583/status/1757654852623073571/video/1… Here are his words on Gaza:
“I am both astonished and outraged by the fact that those who represent the descendants of a people who were persecuted for centuries for religious or racial reasons… That the descendants of this people who are today the decision-makers of the State of Israel, that they could not only colonize an entire people, partly drive them out of their land and seek to expel them for good… But also, after the massacre of October 7, engaged in a real massive slaughter on the populations of Gaza and continue, incessantly, hitting civilians, women, and children. And to see the silence of the world, the silence of the United States, protectors of Israel, the silence of the Arab states, the silence of the European states who claim to be defenders of culture, humanity, human rights. I think we are living through a horrible tragedy because we are also powerless in the face of this thing that is unleashing. At least, I say: bear witness! The only thing that remains if we cannot resist concretely is to testify. Let’s resist in our minds, let’s not be fooled, let’s not forget, let’s have the courage to face things head-on.”

John Mearsheimer is asked if he believes Hamas are pure evil irrational spawns from hell whose attack on October 7th was motivated by anti-Semitism. He responds: That’s absurd Israeli propaganda, they did it to resist the occupation and brutal treatment of Palestinians
“October 7th wasn’t a holocaust. However, I would say that what’s happening in Gaza. resembles the Holocaust that I lived.” – Holocaust survivor Marione Ingram. https://youtube.com/live/of8ChnkmkGg?si=ZEQUisLs0VqlgWdW

13 Oct 2024:
Torah Judaism @TorahJudaism
ZIONISM IS REBELLION AGAINST G-D. Rabbi Chaim Brisker, one of the greatest rabbis a century ago, once said: “There have been many heretical groups in Jewish history, but Zionism is the worst. The Torah teaches Jews to be a moderate and peaceful people in the world. Zionism, on the other hand, tries to achieve its goals by distorting Judaism, oppressing people, usurping lands belonging to others, and doing every abomination prohibited by the Torah. The principles taught by Zionism are to steal, kill, usurp lands and exile people. Zionism is contrary to all the fundamental principles of Judaism.

31 Oct 2024: The Publisher of Israel’s Ha’aretz newspaper has kicked up an absolute storm! During a show in London, Amos Shokan said, “Palestinian terrorists are freedom fighters, sanctions should be imposed on Roham, Smotrich, Ben Gabir and the IDF for carrying out a second Nakba in Gaza” Israel’s Interior Ministry has now announced it is cutting ties with Ha’aretz.

Israel funded and propped up Hamas for over three decades. This wasn’t an accident—it was a calculated move to prevent peace and derail ANY chance of a two-state solution. They’ve admitted this *on record*
mark pocan letter – I’ve sent a letter to President Biden with 87 colleagues urging him to apply sanctions to any entities or officials that promote settler violence against Palestinian communities in the West Bank.

I know there are other Israelis who feel the same, but they are scared to speak up. The International community MUST pressure Israel to stop the horrors in Gaza. We need your help.
15 Nov 2024: Amos Goldberg, Professor of Genocide Studies at The Hebrew University in Jerusalem “Yes, it is genocide. It’s so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion. Jewish history will henceforth be stained”

@alisonweir [founder of If Americans Knew:

FBI agents suddenly showed up at my home recently. They asked me about a person whose name I didn’t recognize. I asked to have a family member present and ascertained from the agents that one of their offices had asked them to check in with certain people in regard to something to do with Press TV. This is an Iranian outlet that has interviewed me on various occasions over the years. (During my 20+ years writing and speaking about Palestine, I have taken as many opportunities as humanly possible to get the facts out via any traditional and alternative, domestic and international media outlets available. I don’t attempt to vet media outlets and try to reach as many audiences in the U.S. and around the world as I can with the facts about Palestine.) I have since found out that other individuals who have a history of working for a just peace for Palestinians and Israelis have also been visited by the FBI. I understand the agency has been weaponized in the past to try to silence groups and people that some members of government oppose. It would appear someone is now trying to set the stage to silence dissent on Israel-Palestine in the United States by trumping up “connections with Iran.”

The irony is that the Holocaust has become the main ideological weapon for launching wars of aggression. It’s the suffering used as a pretext to humiliate, degrade and torture the Palestinians

Happening now in Tel Aviv: we’re thousands of Jews & Palestinians demonstrating against the war & unmasking the truth about it: all the killing, the destruction, the war crimes in Gaza – this is all for the sake of Israeli settlements in Gaza. Security? Self-defense? Settlements.

Israeli media is reporting that the IDF will not let Palestinians return to Jebalia after the operation there is over. The 65,000 people who call it home will be forced to remain south of the Netzarim corridor. The entire top third of Gaza will be depopulated in accordance with the “General’s Plan.” If this is true, it is ethnic cleansing. There can be no other name for it.
3 Dec 2024: Hundreds of Canadian Jews are currently occupying a parliamentary building in Ottawa to protest the war on Gaza. “Canada needs to stop arming Israel and implement an immediate arms embargo,” says organizer Rachel Small.
