Current Affairs Israel is an apartheid state

[Noisy noise annoys]

There does seem to be a strange position regarding the situation. I am not sure if there is an understanding that Iran is behind this but the only definitive has come from Iran and Iran's proxy in Yemen. This weeks Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) meetings will be interesting to review if the talk of all 57 member countries refusing the notion of taking any Palestinian refugees. It is such a mess and clearly is not going to stop anytime soon.

You know more than me regarding this but, you'd think that if any of Iran,Lebanon,Syria even make a move on Israel then they and the US will go to town on them.

According to Israeli Human Rights organisation B’Tselem, in the last three weeks in the West Bank, 858 Palestinians from 32 communities, including 13 entire communities, have been forcibly displaced by settlers. These numbers increase every day.

Wonder why no one wants to talk about this ?

Looks like the US is looking at a 'post Hamas' scenario, from reports over the last 24 hours.

US and Israel considering peacekeeping force in Gaza - report​

The US and Israel are considering the possibility of a multinational force that could include American, UK, French troops in the Gaza Strip, in the event that Israeli forces are successful in ousting Hamas, according to a report.

US and Israeli officials exploring options for the future of Gaza have also discussed a second option that would establish a peacekeeping force modeled on one that oversees a 1979 Egypt-Israel peace treaty, Bloomberg reported, citing people familiar with the conversations.

A third option would see Gaza put under temporary UN oversight, it said. The sources noted that the conversations are still at an early stage and much could change.

The US secretary of state, Antony Blinken, alluded to the challenge of coming up with a plan for the future of Gaza when he addressed a Senate panel on Tuesday.

“We can’t have a reversion to the status quo with Hamas running Gaza,” Blinken told the Senate appropriations committee. “We also can’t have — and the Israelis start with this proposition themselves — Israel running or controlling Gaza.” He added:

Between those shoals are a variety of possible permutations that we’re looking at very closely now, as are other countries.

What isn't clear is the timeline and actions to eliminate Hamas beyond what is already happening, which is a worry.

Israel want to chase or kill all the Palestinians from Gaza. They will be eyeing the land, it’s what they do. Eretz Israel is the goal.

While sympathy for Palestine has long been a minority position in the United States, supporters are being punished for speaking out at a disturbing new level as Israel pummels Gaza, killing thousands of Palestinians in the weeks following the 7 October Hamas attacks.

A Philadelphia sports writer was fired after tweeting “solidarity with Palestine” in criticism of a 76ers post that offered support to Israel after Hamas’s initial attack. In another high-profile incident, a University of California, Berkeley, professor was sacked as editor-in-chief of the scientific journal eLife after he retweeted an Onion article that, he said, “calls out indifference to the lives of Palestinian civilians”.

A spokesperson for Palestine Legal, a civil rights group, says it has responded to more than 260 “incidents of suppression” against Palestinian rights activists over two weeks of October – more than it did in all of last year. The Council on American-Islamic Relations (Cair), a civil rights non-profit, says it received 774 complaints between 7 October and 24 October – the largest wave of complaints it has handled since Donald Trump announced his “Muslim ban” in 2015.

This wave has targeted professional activists as well as ordinary people who have spoken in defence of Palestinians. It has reportedly escalated into death threats, assaults, and visits from the FBI to Muslim individuals and mosques.

...and THAT was EXACTLY Keir Stamer's speech today.

The utter shame of the 'Labour' Party and all who intend to vote for their cheerleading war crimes.

Do we think there could be a leadership challenge for Labour over all this?

 

[Tramps_mate]

Its this type of hypocrisy that has led South Africa to leave the ICC.

Its incredible. The Labour party need to remove Starmer!

 

[Milkman]

Apologies!

Like he's bumped into somebody at his Waitrose ffs

 

[Bluerover]

I'm not the slightest bit surprised.

This lot were formed Tory Orange bigots.

It's in their DNA.

Just another fan group more interested in keeping the peace with their club hierarchy in the hope they'll be kept in the loop by them and look relevant.

Loyalists support Israel always have.
