Palestine Land Day 2024 will have a very different feel about it

Ms. Cat

We are approaching the 48th commemoration of Palestine Land Day, and there is no doubt that 30 March will have very different feel about it this year, with the Palestinians in Gaza being killed and starved in defense of their land against the brutal Zionist military offensive over almost six months, during which the Gaza Strip has been systematically destroyed. Civilian infrastructure has been targeted by Israel, including homes, hospitals, schools, places of worship and governmental and non-government institutions. UNRWA buildings have also been targeted and destroyed. In every practical sense of the word, Gaza is uninhabitable.

Israel: Netanyahu Led Us to Catastrophe. He Must Go.

Ms. Cat

“How could this happen?” we asked one another, neighbors in pajamas suddenly gathered in the not quite safety of the stairwell of our Jerusalem apartment building. Our first air-raid siren of the new war had just sounded. It was early on a holiday morning; I’d heard no news. In a jittery loud voice, a man from across the hall told us about the Hamas invasion of Israel that had just begun.

Gaza War is Final Solution by Israel to Erase Palestinians and West is Complicit, says Israeli MP

Benjamin Netanyahu’s government is exploiting Hamas’s horror attack on October 7 to now implement a “final solution” to wipe out Palestinians.

That’s the view of Ofer Cassif, a lawmaker in the Israeli parliament. The definitive subjugation plan has been part of the Netanyahu government policy for several years. The war on Gaza is the opportunity to execute this plan.

The United States and the European Union are complicit in facilitating the genocidal operation being carried out by the Israeli regime.

Since the inception of the Israel state in 1948, Western governments have been complicit in the relentless oppression of Palestinians by giving their unswerving support for Israeli crimes. That 75-year genocide is now advancing to a final phase.

The international community must stand up against the Zionist destruction of the Palestinian people and their right to statehood.

Source of dubious ‘beheaded babies’ claim is Israeli settler leader who incited riots to ‘wipe out’ Palestinian village

Ms. Cat

After an Israeli reserve soldier named David Ben Zion told a reporter Palestinian militants “cut [off] heads of babies,” Biden, Netanyahu, and the international media amplified the dubious claim.

Netanyahu Bears Responsibility for This Israel-Gaza War

Ms. Cat

The disaster that befell Israel on the holiday of Simchat Torah is the clear responsibility of one person: Benjamin Netanyahu. The prime minister, who has prided himself on his vast political experience and irreplaceable wisdom in security matters, completely failed to identify the dangers he was consciously leading Israel into when establishing a government of annexation and dispossession, when appointing Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben-Gvir to key positions, while embracing a foreign policy that openly ignored the existence and rights of Palestinians.

What Israel’s Controversial Judicial Overhaul Means for Palestinians

What Israel’s Controversial Judicial Overhaul Means for Palestinians (archived)

For Palestinians, many of whom will have watched yesterday’s events from the sidelines, the judicial overhaul only stands to accelerate what has already been a worsening situation. The last couple of years have seen a major uptick in violence in the occupied territories, marked by deadly military raids and settler rampages. 2022 was the deadliest year for Palestinians in nearly two decades, and this year appears on course to beat that record. “The trends that we’re seeing have become much worse,” says Zonszein. “The reality on the ground for Palestinians was bad before [the judicial overhaul], and it’s bad now.”
