Regular reminder: In 1948, the European Jewish community brought by Britain to Palestine began a series of massacres to expel Palestinians. By April, they'd expelled 150k Palestinians; 250k by May 15, when Arab nations came to save them. "Half of Palestine's population was expelled, half of Palestine's villages demolished, & most of the Palestinian towns wiped out" Historian Ilan Pappé #UN #Zionism #Nakba #USPol #EuroPol #Racism #EthnicCleansing #Press @palestine .
Analysis: Israel apologists today gloat about Israel's 1967 attack on the USS Liberty despite spending decades covering it up. The facts are beyond dispute: Israel attacked the USS Liberty not only deliberately but repeatedly, targeting it with fighter aircraft & torpedo boats that hit the ship with napalm, cannon fire, & torpedos. They killed 34 crew members, wounded 171 & severely damaged the ship. And the Israeli motives were? #USSLiberty #USPol #Europol .

Report: London anti-genocide protest today (1pm Sat 6) Protest organisers, Defend Our Juries, urged Met police not to arrest the protesters. "Police forces in Edinburgh, Totnes, Derry & Kendall had all decided not to arrest sign-holders." “You do not need to endlessly repeat the embarrassing charade of arresting people who are acting peacefully & lawfully in front of the world’s press, bringing policing into disrepute." #PalestineAction #UKPol #Europol #USPol .
Interview: "Deadly US Strike on Venezuelan Boat Raises Fears of Wider War" "Trump claimed, without evidence, that the boat was carrying narcotics from Venezuela to the US." “It was pure murder", says Greg Grandin. "It’s bringing the logic of Gaza into the Caribbean" in terms of unaccountability, impunity & a defense notion to justify what is, in effect, just extrajudicial killing.” #USPol #Europol #Venezuela #Trump #USWarmongering #ExtrajudicialKilling #Racism .
Interview: Trump's ‘G R E A T’ Plot to Monetise the Gaza Genocide Middle East Monitor's "Palestine This Week" with Mouin Rabbani & Nasim Ahmed. #GazaGenocide #WesternEnablement #USPol #EuroPol #Racism #DisplacementReplacement #Press #News #BDS @palestine group .
Israel says that, as imperial Britain did not specify political rights for Palestinians, only Jews have a right to sovereignty over Palestine from the river to the sea. That's the century-long argument stemming from the Balfour declaration of 1917. And the EU's Josep Borrell agreed. https://archive.is/x7aeR #USPol #DisplacementReplacement #UKPol #Europol #Palestine #Balfour #Zionism #Imperialism #Racism #BDS @palestine group . image
Report: Downton Abbey star, Hugh Bonneville, used a film interview to demand the world intervene to stop Israel. "Before I talk about the fluff & loveliness of our wonderful film, what’s about to happen in Gaza City is indefensible, & the international community must do more to bring it to an end." #GazaGenocide #USPol #EuroPol #Racism #DisplacementReplacement #Press #News #BDS @palestine group .
Report: The Gaza Tribunal, an unofficial UK inquiry, is taking place in Westminster. MP Jeremy Corbyn had put forward a bill earlier this year for a public Chilcot-style inquiry into Britain's military cooperation with Israel. But the Labour government blocked the bill, so this unofficial two-day inquest is taking place instead. #GazaGenocide #USPol #EuroPol #Racism #Press #GHF @palestine group .
Analysis: How to stop Israel from starving Gaza: "Israel does the dirty work. The US government funds it & provides diplomatic cover." "Palantir provides the artificial intelligence for efficient mass murder." "Microsoft, through Azure, & Google & Amazon, through Nimbus, supply core tech for the Israeli army." However, 172 countries (over 90% of world popn) voted for Palestine’s right to self-determination.  #UN #Gaza #Racism #USPol #BDS #EuroPol @palestine group .
