A reminder about Palestine:
Firstly, the existence of the country of Palestine was never in question. And secondly, as per the UK's own words in the oft-referred to "foundational" "Balfour Declaration":
"NOTHING SHALL BE DONE WHICH MAY PREJUDICE THE CIVIL AND RELIGIOUS RIGHTS OF EXISTING NON-JEWISH COMMUNITIES IN PALESTINE."
Plain as day.
Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib submits to the Congressional Record the entire South African genocide case against Israel and makes an impassioned call to Congress to stop funding the ongoing atrocities in Gaza.
Brazil has also given its support
From the court today. Israel IS committing a genocide.
Of course those cowards won't show the truth.
Anyways you can go to this thread and find channels who are broadcasting it.
US and UK bombing Yemen, a country with a famine that stopped some Israeli ships out of solidarity with Palestine. This world is losing its sanity
in regards to the international court of justice ruling in favor of south africa's case, PLEASE do not fall into imperialistic pessimism. this is an unprecedented moment in history. even if the icj doesn't have absolute power to dismantle colonial forces (which no institution in the world has), even if there's still a long way to go between this ruling and a ceasefire, even if there's still so much to be done, this is the first time the occupational forces in palestine have been faced with this amount of international opposition, and it is strong international opposition that causes colonial forces to fall. do not fall into the "this is a theatre", "this is just symbolic", "this means nothing" discourse. bringing about freedom to palestine, and all colonized nations and peoples, includes judicial bureaucracy just as much as boycotting, violent opposition, blockades, sanctions etc. there has to be an official international position on the matter, and this is it. the icj ruling won't stop the occupation forces, but without this ruling things would be that much harder for the palestinian cause on the world stage. let's keep going from here.

This video comes from Quds News Network, a volunteer based Palestinian News organization. To those who may be unwilling to trust such an organization, here's a human rights watch article on the IDF's tendency to attack the elderly. This is all to say the information above is accurate.

That being said, please refrain from calling all those individuals swept up into this war on the Israeli side to all be genocidal. The IDF still uses conscription, and despite the lack of enforcement in the past, current dodging will get you tossed into jail. The longer you refuse, the longer you're sentenced to. To sum up, it's similar to the US involvement with Vietnam in that many soldiers are willing and gleefully committing atrocities in the name of Israel, and some are just there because they must be. To accuse all of that crime is a disservice to those who must attend such violence.

The sadness and despair in those eyes...
There are no innocent soldiers in iof, including the women. I've seen female soldiers laughing and dancing at the misery of Palestinian people and doing heinous acts just like their male counterparts.
