"Anatomy of a genocide"

That's the title under which the UN special report on occupied Palestine was presented, concluding: "there are reasonable grounds to believe that the threshold indicating that Israel has committed genocide has been reached".

Genocide!

And the details are damning: Israel destroyed Gaza, more than 30,000 Palestinians killed, including more than 13,000 children; more than 12,000 presumed dead and 71,000 injured, most with lifelong mutilations; 70% of houses destroyed; 80% of the population forcibly displaced; thousands of families lost their members or were completely wiped; many families were unable to bury their dead and mourn, forced to let their bodies decompose in houses, in the streets or under the rubble; thousands of people detained and subjected to inhuman and degrading treatment; an incalculable collective trauma will be felt by future generations.

Genocide, nothing more, nothing less!

People across the world have said their word, several countries have had the courage to say it, many international organizations have affirmed it, the UN has ordered a ceasefire; the boycott movement of Israel is growing, Israel is banned from international society.

France: results and challenges

The New Popular Front won 182 seats in the snap parliamentary elections, making it the largest group in the French National Assembly, which has 577 seats. This is obviously a reason for immense satisfaction and relief for millions of French people who were enduring the anti-social policies of Macron's regime. It is also an open opportunity for all those who want real change. That said, and without minimizing the results obtained, it must be remembered that the new Popular Front only secured 31.2% of the seats in the National Assembly and that the percentage of French people who voted for it represents only 25.1% of the votes. In comparison, the Popular Front of 1936 obtained 63.5% of the seats and 57.8% of the French voted for it! This means that the New Popular Front is far behind the 1936 performance. But all this does not take away from the immense success achieved this week. It simply means that the New Front has enormous task to perform to convince more French people of the ne...

Justice on the Side of the Palestinian People

July 19, 2024, marks a monumental victory for justice, which has clearly sided with the rights of the Palestinian people. The International Court of Justice (ICJ) issued an opinion declaring that Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories is illegal. The court demanded that all states take action to end this occupation and that Israel pay reparations to Palestinians who have suffered due to this situation. It is important to note that this opinion follows a recent decision by the Court requiring Israel to cease any actions in Gaza that could constitute genocide. This ICJ opinion will strengthen international pressure on Israel. Although it will take time, just like the end of apartheid in South Africa, there is no doubt that justice will prevail and that Palestinians will regain their right to self-determination.

"Hamas cannot be destroyed" because "it is an idea." !!

No, this is not a statement from Hamas, but from Daniel Hagari, the spokesperson for the Zionist army! It took 37,000 deaths and the destruction of an entire territory for the Zionist army to recognize this!  Why did it take 37,000 deaths to acknowledge this? Because Israel is an occupying army, and colonial occupying armies do not understand that a colonized people can resist.  Why also this "idea"? For a simple reason: Palestine was colonized and its people had only one choice, which was to resist the occupier.  Similarly, the Zionist entity reveals itself for what it is: Europeans who came to colonize a territory, as has been done for centuries. The European settlers who created the Zionist movement are Ashkenazi Jews who have no connection to Palestine. They are Russians, Poles, Belarusians, Austrians, Romanians, etc. The Zionist movement is a racist movement, just like Nazism: it presumes a "pure race."  The Jewish religion was born in Palestine, and people con...
