6 days ago | electronicintifada.net | Wesam Abo Marq

Meet Israel's "man in Ramallah"

The Palestinian Authority, Israel’s collaborationist entity in the West Bank, last month appointed a vice president for the first time. A former colonel in a brutal PA “security” agency, Hussein al-Sheikh is now widely seen as heir apparent to the crumbling regime of Mahmoud Abbas – who is 89 years old. Abbas’ elected term as president of the PA expired more than 16 years ago and he has since then repeatedly canceled elections – which polls indicate he would lose to Hamas.

Two top Israeli officers who invented tales of nonexistent Jewish children and babies murdered on 7 October were among the army commanders who have led the genocidal destruction of the Gaza Strip ever since. Brigadier General Barak Hiram and Colonel Golan Vach helped manufacture consent for the annihilation of Gaza by falsely claiming that Palestinian fighters executed eight Israeli children in Kibbutz Be’eri.

Despite everything we have gone through in Gaza over the past year and half, the situation has not been as hellish as it has been in these last difficult days. I’ve never had such terrifying daily experiences – warplanes shaking my home, shooting from low-flying aircraft that sounds like it will hit our roof, nonstop artillery fire from tanks – until now.

Dozens of film and television workers picketed outside the headquarters of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences – the organization that runs the Oscars – in Los Angeles on 31 March, demanding the academy speak out in defense of Palestinian filmmaker Hamdan Ballal.

Amal Kassab lost her son Ahmad, 18, to an Israeli military attack on 19 January, the first day of the so-called ceasefire in January. Ahmad had set out from the al-Mawasi camp west of Khan Yunis where the family had sought shelter to check on their home in Rafah. “He said goodbye and told me that we would meet in Rafah and asked me to wait for his call to tell me how the house was, whether it was okay or destroyed,” Amal said during an interview in February. “I waited for him.”Ahmad never called.

The sound of gunfire marked the funeral procession in Arabsalim, a small southern Lebanese town. A Hizballah fighter – killed by the Israeli military – was being laid to rest. Only a small part of the martyr’s body had been found. It was wrapped in cotton and prepared for burial on 20 January. Posters bearing the photographs of numerous martyrs can be seen on lamp posts and in people’s homes across Arabsalim. The posters are displayed alongside the flags of Hizballah and its ally, the Amal movement.

Feces, urine and used condoms – these are just some of the things that Israeli soldiers left behind in Palestinian homes during their 11-day assault on the al-Faraa refugee camp in the foothills of the Jordan Valley, south of Tubas in the northern occupied West Bank, last month. Fidaa Abu Zeina’s home was one of them. Abu Zeina, 46, his wife and three children were forced out at gunpoint on 2 February, the first day of the assault.

Israel’s Batsheva Dance Company will perform this week at the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) in New York. Batsheva is a dance company, dubbed by the Israeli foreign ministry as “perhaps the best known global ambassador of Israeli culture.” After more than a year of Israeli genocide in Palestine, BAM leaders’ decision to program Batsheva has sparked a wave of protest from the Palestine solidarity movement, particularly from solidarity activists in the arts.
UK government funds pro-genocide University Jewish Chaplaincy

2 months ago | electronicintifada.net | Asa Winstanley

Exactly one year on from the start of the genocide in Gaza, the British government announced that it would allocate almost $9 million toward tackling alleged anti-Semitism in education. Almost $638,000 of this funding has been awarded to the University Jewish Chaplaincy (UJC) in order to fund “welfare support for Jewish students.”But what is the UJC? Just a kindly Jewish religious organization devoted to the welfare, pastoral and spiritual needs of Jewish students?
