netanyahu is a war criminal.....

Israel’s decision under its fanatic ethno-nationalist government to both approve more West Bank settlements and invade Gaza City now tragically defines the whole Zionist project: a 70-year campaign to purge Palestinians and create a greater Israel. Netanyahu’s criminality now defines Israel’s mission and recasts its history.

Statement by former NSW Premier and Foreign Minister Hon Bob Carr

 

An Israel run by settlers and religious fanatics will now demolish the last houses of Palestinians in Gaza and starve them, “concentrating” them (this verb chosen with deliberation) into tents in the south and offering them evacuation to South Sudan or Libya.

The civilised world faces this challenge: how can you not sanction a nation conducting a rolling genocide?

In short, how much longer will we be able to treat this Israel as a normal diplomatic partner? It is behaving like a pariah, demanding to be treated like one. Challenge to our own Jewish lobby: when will you condemn it?

German ex-security adviser urges Berlin to recognize Palestinian state

Former Munich Security Conference chairman Christoph Heusgen has urged the German government to recognize a Palestinian state, citing the humanitarian situation in Gaza.

In a guest article for the RND media group published Friday, Heusgen wrote that recognition would be viewed worldwide as a "particularly strong gesture" given Germany’s reputation as a close ally of Israel.

He said the step would not alter conditions immediately but would signal solidarity with Palestinians if Berlin joined the majority of countries that already extend recognition.

Heusgen, a longtime adviser to former Chancellor Angela Merkel, pointed to momentum ahead of the UN General Assembly in September, where France, Canada, and Australia are among those planning to recognize a Palestinian state.

However, the German government has pushed back on the idea. Spokesman Stefan Kornelius said in late July that recognition is considered "one of the final steps" toward a two-state solution, which foresees an independent Palestine coexisting peacefully alongside Israel.

More than half of Germans now support recognizing a Palestinian state, a recent poll showed.
