This was no war. It was a genocide. Israel exploited a terrorist attack to try to murder an entire population. Only the world’s outrage prevented Nazi Netanyahu from killing everyone in Gaza by bombs and starvation. As for Hamas, it is what you get when you inflict Apartheid on a people.

We are told the ‘war’ against Gaza is finally ‘over’. Is it? | Arwa Mahdawi

I am not celebrating the end of the ‘war’ because this was not a war – and it’s not over, either

I don’t apologise for anyone. This was no war. It was a genocide. Israel exploited a terrorist attack to try to murder an entire population. Only the world’s outrage prevented Nazi Netanyahu from killing the entire population of Gaza. Hamas is what happens when you inflict Apartheid on a people.

Palestinians, obviously. Israel paid hundreds to provide info to facilitate its genocide against +60,000. Hamas is still THE force in Gaza and this the inevitable reckoning. Tragedy piled upon tragedy, rooted in the theft of Palestinian land, the illegal Israeli occupation and its apartheid regime.

Many of the 90 bodies of Palestinians returned to Gaza by Israeli authorities under the ceasefire deal showed signs of torture and execution, including blindfolds, cuffed hands and bullet wounds in the head, according to doctors’ accounts.

Inequality, not unemployment, is at the root of the current xenophobia. Current policies will eventually hit employment too. Then the shit really hits the fan.

Health officials in Gaza say many of the 90 returned bodies bore marks of violence and possible executions.

WSJ does not understand that the whole idea of having a misaligned currency is that the privileged few can access Dollars and become very rich in a country with a massively overvalued exchange rate.

Political lying is out of control

Lying in Western politics has assumed unprecedented scale and severity. Democratic reform is urgently needed to resurrect political integrity.

Perhaps prematurely, I have developed a fondness for cemeteries. Alto De Sao Joao cemetery in Lisbon is one of my favourites.
