"Taking us through the broader geographical and historical context, from the Nakba in 1948 to the present day, #Ungrounding establishes that architectural and territorial analysis is key to understanding the relationship between colonizer and colonized—and how #Israel’s actions after October 7 escalated into violence so extreme and so far-reaching as to, Weizman argues, meet the definition of genocide."

Great replacement theorist and wanted war criminal #Netanyahu, at Yad Vashem: “Europe is infected with deep moral weakness”
Netanyahu spoke at the opening ceremony of Holocaust Remembrance Day at Yad Vashem, saying that “in the Holocaust we were a beaten animal letting out a cry of agony - and today we have a state stronger than ever, letting out a roar of power.” He then leveled sharp criticism at European states, saying that “Europe has forgotten so many things since the Holocaust. It, which swore after World War II to protect the good, is today infected with deep moral weakness. Losing control of its identity, its values, its commitment to protect civilization from barbarism.”
Who’s the barbarian?
The #ICC issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu on 21 November 2024, charging him with the war crimes of starvation as a method of warfare and intentionally directing attacks against the civilian population, and the crimes against humanity of murder, persecution, and other inhumane acts, covering conduct from at least 8 October 2023.
As of April 1, 2026, nearly 72,300 Palestinians have been directly killed, with over 172,000 recorded injuries. Scholars estimate 80% of Palestinians killed were civilians, and a UN human rights study found that 70% of those killed in residential buildings were women and children.
The framing is very specific: it positions Israel as the defender of civilization against barbarism, which is a rhetorical move with a long colonial genealogy (the same logic used to justify virtually every atrocity committed by Western powers against non-Western populations.) The same logic the Germans (yes the same Germans now holding the EU back from forcing Israel to stop the ongoing genocide in Gaza, and ethnic cleansing of the West Bank and south of Lebanon) used to justify their own civilizational war.

According to #ynet, Hungary's newly elected Prime Minister, Péter Magyar, has announced plans to rejoin the International Criminal Court (#ICC) in The Hague, from which Viktor Orbán had withdrawn. Author of this this news brief says there are concerns in Israel that Hungary's closer alignment with the EU may reduce its ability to assist #Israel, as it might be less willing to veto #EU decisions against Israel 🙄
The brainwashing of Israeli Jews is from birth & instills an existential dread of "the Arab".
It's chilling to hear about it from highly intelligent and compassionate Israeli Jews who only came to their senses when they went overseas, often as scholars, and happened to get to know some:
Miko Peled, former IDF soldier & son of Israeli general: "It starts in kindergarten.. It's everywhere... 75 yrs of racist indoctrination & mass militarisation".

Turns out the "rough beast" that was slouching towards Bethlehem was #Zionism
https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Michael_Robartes_and_the_Dancer/The_Second_Coming
THE SECOND COMING
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: a waste of desert sand;
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Wind shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

#Israel wants to give #Trump the so-called Israel Prize for Peace 🤮 If there was ever a more brazen insult to the word peace, I can’t think of one. What’s sure, he should absolutely share it with #Biden. I could comment on how fitting it is for Trump to share a stage with genocide enthusiast Rabbi Abraham Zerviv, but Trump is so thirsty for validation from outside his fascist fan club, he probably wouldn’t mind. Accepting a prize from the genocide state is both pathetic and very fitting. Reports suggest he won’t be showing up in person anyway.
In #GutterZionism:
I’m so proud of #Israel. We’ve turned #genocide into a national sport, and now we’re handing out the prizes. The Israel Prize for genocide this year goes to a rabbinical judge and D9 operator (#domicide) who called to ‘simply flatten the Strip’ …
Rabbi Abraham Zerviv, a 54‑year‑old rabbinical judge in Tel Aviv who also serves as a reserve D9 operator, was chosen to light a torch at Israel’s 78th Independence Day ceremony. He has been involved in demolition operations in Gaza, posted videos of those activities, and made controversial remarks such as saying he considered publishing a picture of a Palestinian “because Hamas will finish him.”
The Education Minister praised him as a symbol of deep commitment to the #Jewish people, #Torah and the land, citing his lifelong work to strengthen Torah study and settlement. However, the Judicial Complaints Authority warned that his public calls for settlement in #Gaza and related statements breach the ethical code for judges, since they involve politically contested positions and blur the separation between his judicial duties and military service.

the best part is that #Trump's American Bitcoin company will be earning transaction fees on the payments.
lol.
" ‘If you do something for long enough, the world will accept it,’ a former senior Israeli military lawyer declared ahead of a previous assault on #Gaza. ‘We invented the #targetedAssassination thesis and we had to push it. [Now] it is in the centre of the bounds of legitimacy’ – as international acquiescence to the actions of #Israel and the US against Iran has now demonstrated."

In the view of some analysts, #allies' unwillingness reflects not only their reluctance over entanglement in a war they were not consulted on, but a backlash against his belittling of traditional #US #alliances since his return to office 14 months ago [ya think?].
Differences with #Israel also have surfaced, with #Trump insisting that he knew nothing in advance about the attack on #Iran's #SouthPars #gas field, while Israeli ofcls said the strike had indeed been coordinated with the #US.

While I rag on the Trump admin I know for a fact Democrats would have started this war too, they just would have kept the government customer service office open while doing so.
How do I know Dems would attack Iran?
Bc Hillary Clinton repeatedly said she WOULD no matter the stage of development be willing to attack Iran if she were in power.
There's been debate if that remark is out of context but I think she meant it.

Professor of Middle Studies Narges Bajoghli warns that we could be seeing Israel enacting their "Dahiya doctrine" upon Tehran.
The is "Dahiya doctrine" just a fancy name carpet bombing civilians.
#Dahiyadoctrine #Tehran #Iran #Israel #NargesBajoghli #WarCrimes #netanyahu
DEVELOPING - Overnight Iranians posted this video of what they claim is an F15 of F35 shortly after it was hit by antiair fire. Two pilots can -just- be seen parachuting into the mountains near Tehran.
The problem for Israel+US with enacting the "Dahiya doctrine" is that they simply do not have air superiority yet.
According to Iranina reports they claim to have shot down around 30 US+Israeli attack drones like the MQ-9 Predator in addition to this manned jet.
In Lebanon Hezbollah has started releasing a stream of professionally edited videos depicting precision strikes on invading Israeli troops.
This video shows the defenders of Lebanon hitting an Israeli Merkava tank with a missile from position kilometers away.
#hezbollah #lebanon #ResistanceAxis #Israel #KhameneiAssassination
Hezbollah has been releasing extensive drone footage from their planning of strikes.
They regularly fly drones over Israeli installations to collect intelligence for missile strikes and videos like this from years ago still seem to be providing Hezbollah critical intelligence.
Israel and the US down play the fact that decapitating Hezbollah's leadership and even invading Lebanon has had little to no effect on the combat readiness.
While Iranians & the rest of the resistance axis is eager to show the civilian toll along side the military reality Israel is responding with censorship.
CNN anchors have begun noting what they can and can't show on air.
In this segment a CNN anchor says they can film incoming missile strikes because it could give away air defense positions which is well and good I suppose but that's just the tip of the iceberg of Israeli censor ship....
When CNN's Turkish langauge anchor Emrah Çakmak and cameraman Halil Kahraman were doing a live report from the streets of Tel Aviv they were detained by authorities while on air.
After the run in with Israeli cops CNN anchor Emrah Çakmak showed how the authorities covered all of his phone cameras with tamper-evident stickers.
Israeli officials have reportedly stopped MANY journalist and onlookers from filming scenes of Iranian strikes.
Even filming the aftermath the next day in civilian areas can land journalist in hot water with Israeli police.
In the past 72 hours Iran has continued to pound targets throughout the middle east including within Israel.
Numerous reports over the weekend prove that Iran has been using ballastic missiles with cluster warheads which have been basically impossible for close in anti-aircraft weapons to shootdown once they split apart.
Important to note, Israel never signed the weapons ban on cluster munitions nor did Iran.
As strikes have intensified on Iran, the Iranians in-turn have continued to up their attacks on Israel. They've been clocking at least a dozen missile or drone strikes on Israeli targets most days.
Tonight Iran promised 3 hours of continuous ballistic missile strikes and delivered on that promise.
Tonight more missiles were equipped with cluster munitions. Strikes landed in Haifi, Tel Aviv & mil bases across the occupation.
