An hour of songs by the Palestinian liberation movement
Nile To Bank w/ Nihal 2nd November 2023
Playing Spoken Word, Folk. Influenced by her hometown Cairo’s underground scene, London-based writer and researcher Nihal selects contemporary left-field hip hop, drill, drum & bass and experimental sounds from the Middle East and North Africa capturing the organic crossovers traversing the region.www.nts.live
it opens with them saying 'you steal our tents and you create guerrillas'
this was actually really good. loads of interviews with the liberation movement from the late 50's, early 60.
Oh, we know how it plays out - anyone and everyone in Gaza is fair game and will be massacred some more, there will be some sort of cease fire but continued massacre behind the "only targeting hamas" guise. The settlers will continue to attack the people outside of Gaza. Anyone that did flee Gaza is now homeless. The world looks on, things settle down but the life of the Palestinians is now far, far worse even than before. People need to stop spouting the "but hamas" line, this has gone so far beyond that it is insulting.

Most people aren’t buying what the media/government are selling.
The internet has changed the game.

I don't think he did, at all.
The entire world is watching this now and it is blatantly obvious which side is escalating things, which side is treating even their allies with utter contempt, which side has zero regard for the safety of its own citizens held hostage. The usual rhetoric aside he basically said what Erdogan, most of the Arab world, the UN and its agencies, and nearly everyone else has been saying - that there has to be an immediate ceasefire to protect civilians, that the conduct of the Israeli government is creating huge tensions across the region and the only way those hostages will be released safely is via negotiation. At one point he even praised those around the world who have demonstrated in solidarity with the Palestinians.
The only side that want this to kick off further are the Israelis; they've proved that every day since October 7th with the deliberate targetting of journalists, the hospital bombings, the siege, the ramped up attacks in the West Bank, the repeated incursions into al-Aqsa and the rhetoric from Israeli politicians and media. Why would Hezbollah deliver what their enemies blatantly want?
Our and the EU political leadership probably have up to a week left of being ignored by the Israeli leadership before it becomes obvious to them that their position is untenable, and they'll have to align with the rest of the world. Even with US backing, once a reasonable proposal comes out of how to deal with this short of a UNSC resolution - a financial embargo for example - ends this war probably very quickly with the Israelis isolated nearly completely.

Certainly in the case of being able to see what Israeli government ministers are saying.

A great article:

Could the war in Palestine potentially undermine the U.S.-Israeli strategic partnership?
Israel had convinced the U.S. that Palestine issue was no longer an obstacle to normalization. But October 7 shattered Israel’s image of military might, raising doubts about its abilities to protect U.S. strategic interests.

Something tells me the last people to lecture other countries on antisemitism is this lot
So simply rinse and repeat?
That’s a [Poor language removed] outlook. Something has to break. The changes need to happen internally as the international community won’t do anything apart from shake their fists - the UN is a blown rose and has been for decades, only good for humanitarian relief / fk all use for anything else.
