The narrative around October 7 often overlooks the deep-rooted history of the Israel-Palestine conflict. This timeline reveals key events dating back to 1897, when the First Zionist Congress was held, through the Nakba in 1948, and decades of subsequent violence. The focus on a single day obscures a much longer story of displacement and systemic injustice that continues to affect Palestinians today.

The pressure on Israel continues. It is only this type of pressure across the world that will work, in the absence of UN Security Council action.
-Greek unions are reportedly gearing up for a protest against the Israeli cruise ship Crown Iris, scheduled to dock at the port of Piraeus on Thursday. The All-Workers Militant Front (PAME) announced, “The cruise ship carrying Israeli soldiers is not welcome! It should turn back!
-The Hind Rajab Foundation (HRF) and the Palestinian Center for Human Rights (PCHR) said they will file a joint complaint to the International Criminal Court (ICC) over Israel’s killing of six Palestinian journalists in a targeted and deliberate attack on Sunday. They are urging the court to move beyond expressions of concern and take immediate legal action.
-UN Secretary-General António Guterres warns Israel will be listed in the upcoming UN report on sexual violence in Palestine, citing credible evidence of abuse by Israeli forces in prisons. Israel is placed in “warning” category ahead of report.
-Authorities in Gaza say the Israeli military is desperately and pathetically attempting to cover up internationally documented crimes and the systematic starvation of the population across the blockaded Palestinian territory.
-European airline ground staff refuse to work in Israel: ‘We won’t return until genocide ends’
-Days ahead of Brussels Airlines’ planned resumption of flights to Tel Aviv’s Ben-Gurion Airport, ground staff have demanded the suspension of the route for moral reasons, citing genocide in Gaza and the West Bank.
-Meanwhile, French baggage handler company Alyzia has announced a full boycott of Israeli carriers, refusing to handle their flights in solidarity with Palestinians.
-More than 100 former members of the European Parliament (MEPs) representing various political factions have jointly condemned the continuous starvation of the civilian population in Gaza as a “war crime,” calling for the complete suspension of the EU’s Association Agreement with Israel
-Palestinian resistance fighters in Gaza continue to fight fiercely against the invading Israeli troops. Al-Quds and other brigades are fighting fiercely.
Much of the European action is sickeningly self-serving, but in my view, anything that keeps the pressure mounting is good. We may see a twist in this tale, though, as it is self-serving. It does help to tumble the Israeli carefully constructed meme of innocence and defending itself. Every Israeli now knows that they are hated and will be hated in the world, as long as they survive. Countering so-called anti-semitism is not working for them any longer. Nobody cares about being anti-semite, but rather we care about not supporting genocide.

Statement by Permanent Representative Vassily Nebenzia at a UNSC Briefing on the Humanitarian Situation in the Gaza Strip
Mr. President,
We thank Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs Tom Fletcher and UNICEF executive director Catherine Russell for their briefings – they have exposed the true scale of the ongoing tragedy affecting civilians in the Gaza Strip. With each passing day, the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip is hitting new grim records.
People of the enclave are living under the conditions of a major humanitarian catastrophe, they are facing unfathomable deprivation and starvation, which is killing both adults and children. At the same time, despite all the active efforts by humanitarian agencies, which enjoy virtually unanimous support from UNSC members, the humanitarian aid – which essentially is something that all residents of the enclave heavily depend on – is being provided in extremely limited quantities, which are clearly not commensurate with the scale of the disaster.
The situation is rapidly deteriorating amid a critical shortage of fuel needed to keep vital infrastructure operational. Without it, hospitals, water supply systems, and food distribution centers could be completely paralyzed, which would jeopardize the lives of hundreds of thousands of civilians. We are particularly alarmed by the reports of a possible stoppage of water desalination plants. It is unacceptable that the people of Gaza, especially children, be left without access to drinking water. The collapse of the water supply system could also lead to outbreaks of contagious diseases, which would further exacerbate the humanitarian situation.
Mr. President,
The ongoing ground operations by the IDF and artillery shelling throughout the Gaza Strip are creating truly intolerable conditions for the civilian population. We strongly condemn the attacks that have killed and injured civilians. Of particular concern is the consistent and clear nature of the strikes, which are targeting locations where people congregate to get food, including distribution centers. According to the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, since the end of May, at least 798 Palestinians have been killed in the enclave while attempting to access humanitarian assistance.
We note with particular concern the increasing number of casualties near centers related to the “The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF),” which – as many of us warned in this chamber – turned out to be a mechanism that, instead of addressing humanitarian needs, is increasingly becoming a symbol of both the humiliation of human dignity and threats to the lives of those in need of assistance. Hundreds of Palestinians killed while trying to get help are a grim reminder of this. The way this system works may pose danger to those seeking help and is morally unacceptable. We’re sure that the UN Secretariat made the right and responsible decision not to be part of this punitive action which is carried out under the guise of a humanitarian operation. We would like to remind you that just recently, more than 200 non-governmental organizations issued a joint appeal urging to stop this bloody militarized mechanism that offers Palestinians choose between two evils: to die either of starvation or waiting in line for food assistance.
Unfortunately, Israel and the US appear to continue to believe that this is an effective mechanism – they are bragging about the millions of food parcels that have been allegedly handed to civilians rather than to Hamas. These claims are controversial, to say the least, and are not borne out by what is going on the ground. One thing is clear: if Israel had facilitated rather than impeded UN humanitarian aid deliveries, there would have been at least a glimmer of hope that the humanitarian crisis could be alleviated. Today, however, we have no hopes whatsover, and the mass collective punishment of Palestinians in violation of basic IHL continues before our very eyes.
Mr. President,
We are shocked by the recent attack on civilians in Deir al-Balah – people were trying to receive food aid provided by UNICEF. Dozens of people were killed and wounded as the result of this attack. Among those killed are nine Palestinian children. On July 13, seven more children were killed in the Nuseirat camp while waiting in line for water at a humanitarian distribution center, according to the UN. These tragedies are becoming a new frightening normality. We strongly condemn the killing of innocent civilians who were only seeking vital assistance. Such attacks undermine the very possibility of saving human lives and constitute a gross violation of international humanitarian law.
Alongside the crackdown on humanitarian workers and journalists covering events in Gaza, a genuine witch hunt has been launched against UN agencies that are deemed to be undesirable. This primarily concerns UNRWA, which is an agency that for many decades has been providing support to Palestinians in the areas of humanitarian assistance, education, and healthcare. Its uninterrupted and consistent work is essential for the survival of millions of Palestinians living not only in the Gaza Strip but also, as is well known, in neighboring countries that have taken in refugees. We would like to emphasize that there has never been and cannot be any alternative to UNRWA. Along with UNRWA and the UN Secretary-General, what has also faced criticism are the relevant special procedures of the UN Human Rights Council. Such actions are inconsistent with the obligations of UN Member States, and they do violate the UN Charter and the Convention on the Privileges and Immunities.
This situation requires the strongest international response. Protecting and providing for civilians in the occupied Palestinian territories is Israel’s duty as the occupying power, and it’s not for Israel’s leaders to decide if it’s okay or not. We insist that civilians’ safety be guaranteed whatever it takes. Unfortunately, all attempts by the international community to achieve even a minimal compliance with basic principles of humanity and human dignity are met with the all-out support of its ally, Washington, which has given West Jerusalem carte blanche to take any action against the Palestinians.
Mr. President,
If anyone thinks that the situation in Gaza simply cannot get any worse, they are most likely mistaken. According to the information we have, including from official Israeli sources, West Jerusalem is drafting a new plan to transfer 600,000 Palestinians to a so-called “humanitarian city” in Rafah, south of the Morag military corridor. The goal is to eventually concentrate the entire two million population of the enclave there, after checking whether they have ties to Hamas. UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini has already described the plan as “the de facto creation of a mass concentration camp, whose Palestinian inhabitants will be deprived of any prospects for the future.” We would like to note that former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert shares this assessment, calling the initiative part of the Netanyahu government’s overall campaign of ethnic cleansing and deportation of Palestinians. It would be important to learn how OCHA or UNICEF assess this initiative.
Mr. President,
Unfortunately, the problems of the Palestinian people are not limited to Gaza. We are extremely alarmed by the situation in the West Bank, where intensified Israeli operations are reported, especially in the northern areas. The actions of West Jerusalem may result in widespread destruction, exacerbated humanitarian crisis and displaced families losing any hope to return to their homes. We regularly receive reports of killings and violence against Palestinians, seizures of their land and demolitions of their homes. This is unacceptable. We call on Israel to immediately cease violence in the occupied Palestinian territory, guarantee the protection of civilians, and not impede the delivery of humanitarian assistance to civilians, who need it more than ever. It is also necessary to stop the expansion and construction of settlements and put an end to provocations by settlers, who pointedly humiliate the honor and dignity of Palestinians.
Mr. President,
We have all reiterated on numerous occasions in this Chamber that as long as the military operation by the IDF is ongoing, it would be impossible to ensure unimpeded humanitarian access to all those in need in the enclave. Furthermore, it is clear to all of us that rescuing the hostages held in Gaza through the use of force has proven ineffective. In this regard, we would like to once again call on the parties to swiftly reach a ceasefire agreement, with the assistance of mediators, which would lead to the release and exchange of all forcibly detained persons. At the same time, in order for the Israeli authorities to finally lift the blockade of the sector, Washington must renounce its unconditional support for Jerusalem, stop covering up its violations of international humanitarian law, and use its leverage to stabilize the situation. We are convinced that there is no alternative to this scenario and that cannot be any. This is the only way to break the vicious circle of violence and restart the Middle East peace process on the basis of the two-state solution, the ultimate goal of which is the creation of an independent Palestinian state within the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital, coexisting in peace and security with Israel. The long years of Arab-Israeli confrontation prove that there is no other peaceful scenario for the Middle East, nor can there ever be.
In this context, we welcome the intention of Saudi Arabia and France to hold a high-level international conference in support of the two-state formula to be held at the end of this month (July 28-30) in New York. We plan to actively engage in this conference.
Thank you for your attention.
Let’s post this again to illustrate the Zionazi perspective on international law. You may say it’s gross, and indeed, it is; however, it’s accurate and valid for most. A recent positive action by Israeli youth was a protest where they burned their draft cards and refused to go to war. This is not the Haredim, often referred to as ultra-orthodox, who refuse to take part in war for strict religious reasons. We may differ with the UNSC on a two-state solution. In reality, this may be the only action that will work, to put the Israelis currently in the occupied territories under Palestinian authority. See how they run ..
We’ve also had reporting on where the IDF soldiers run to, as they are clearly guilty of war crimes and are now more frequently arrested when found in other countries. They have an open sesame from Argentina, where Milei welcomes them. Those who know the history will recall that Argentina is the country where German Nazi’s fled to in order to escape legal consequences for their actions. The terminology ‘zionazi’ is thus the best we have today.
Furthermore, the consequences worldwide are becoming increasingly severe. The Hague Group conference in Bogota, Colombia, has just concluded. Two dozen countries agreed to six measures to “restrain Israel’s assault on the Occupied Palestinian Territories”. In stark contrast, the EU also had a meeting, where they refused to suspend their Association Agreement with Israel. Updates will be provided in a separate post, as much information on the ICC and the sanctions against its officials with fully made-up sexual harassment allegations is now also being released.
Noxious evil stews in those pots.

By Nico Cost
Letter / Petition:
To all leaders, thinkers, and conscious citizens of our planet,
There are moments in history when humanity faces a fundamental choice; between justice and injustice, between compassion and indifference. Today, we stand at such a crossroads. What we do or fail to do now will be judged by future generations as a test of our collective moral compass.
For over seven decades, the Palestinian people have been deprived of their fundamental rights and dignity. What began as the Nakba (catastrophe) in 1948 has evolved into a system of systematic oppression that meets all definitions of apartheid. Just as apartheid in South Africa had to fall and French colonization of Algeria had to end, so too must Israel’s colonial project be dismantled; not out of revenge, but as the only path to just peace.
As we speak, children in Gaza are being killed, families in the West Bank are being evicted from their homes, and an entire people are being denied the hope of self-determination. This must stop.
This is not merely a political issue. It is a profound moral challenge that concerns us all. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, on which we claim to build our civilization, is violated here every day. The right to life, safety, and a home; these fundamental rights are denied to millions of Palestinians while the world watches.
The recent genocide in Gaza, recognized by the ICJ in January 2024, confirms that Israel is not only a colonial state but also a genocidal regime. When a country commits such crimes, it forfeits its moral and legal right to exist. As stipulated in UN Resolution 194 (1948) and affirmed by countless human rights reports, there is only one just solution:
This is not a call against Jewish inhabitants; they belong in a decolonized Palestine, as equals and not as oppressors.
We remind you of Martin Luther King Jr.’s words: “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” What is happening in Palestine is not just a tragedy for Palestinians; it is a stain on the conscience of all humanity. Every day we remain silent, every time we look away, we become complicit in this injustice.
To the leaders of nations, we say: Your responsibility transcends borders and political calculations. History is not written by those who maintain the status quo, but by those who courageously stand for what is right. We demand that UN member governments:
To all people of conscience, we say: Your voice matters. Your choices make a difference. When you remain silent in the face of injustice, you side with the oppressor. But when you speak, when you act, when you refuse to cooperate with injustice, you become part of the solution.
Given the gravity of this situation, the solution must go beyond stopping the ongoing genocide. A structural solution is needed to rectify the wrongs of 1948. Palestine must be decolonized. This is a necessary act – difficult but inevitable – to achieve both justice and peace. It will finally mark the end of the Western colonial era.
Pause and reflect. We must first make the right moral choice, and only then consider how to implement it. When we start debating why something is impossible or difficult, we distract ourselves from our conscience. This has gone on long enough.
The question is not whether change will come, but which side of history you will stand on when it does. Will you choose justice or comfortable silence? Courage or calculated hesitation?
We call on you – leaders and citizens, East and West, North and South – to act now. Not tomorrow, not when it is politically convenient, but now. For every child that dies, every home destroyed, every life shattered as we wait, is one too many.
With the urgency this moment demands,
[Your name as co-signer]
Rationale / Plan:
The state of Israel is founded on a colonial project that has transformed Palestine since 1948 into an ethnocracy, enforcing Jewish supremacy at the expense of the indigenous Palestinian population. This system of oppression – supported by Western powers – violates international law, universal human rights, and moral principles upheld by all major religions. Decolonization is not merely a political option; it is a legal and moral obligation for the international community.
Historical Context: Colonization as Israel’s Foundation
Israel’s creation was not a “return to an empty land,” as Zionist narratives claim, but a violent dispossession of Palestine. The Nakba of 1948, which expelled over 750,000 Palestinians, was not a side effect but a necessary component of the Zionist project to create a Jewish-majority state. This fits a broader colonial tradition of displacing indigenous populations in favor of a foreign group; a process that continues today through illegal settlements, home demolitions, and apartheid laws.
International Law: Israel’s Illegitimate Existence
Under the UN Charter (Article 73) and Resolution 1514 (1960), colonized peoples have an inalienable right to self-determination. Israel’s occupation and annexation of Palestinian land blatantly violate this principle. Additionally:
The ICJ’s recognition of the Gaza genocide (2024) confirms Israel as not only a colonial state but a genocidal regime. A state that commits such crimes loses its moral and legal right to exist.
Moral and Religious Responsibility
No religion justifies ethnic cleansing. Judaism preaches justice (tzedek), Islam forbids oppression (zulm), and Christianity commands love for one’s neighbor. Yet Israel weaponizes religion to justify land theft; a perversion of faith. Morally, a state that commits genocide against an oppressed population cannot claim legitimacy. Decolonization is not revenge but restoration: a return to a society where Palestinians and Jews live as equals.
Countering Common Arguments
The Role of the UN and International Community
The UN bears historical guilt for facilitating Israel’s creation. It must now:
Israel is a colonial anomaly in the 21st century. Its existence is incompatible with human rights, international law, and universal morality. Decolonization is not extremism; it is the only path to peace.
The West Blocks Justice
A harsh reality: as long as the U.S. and Europe protect Israel, decolonization will not happen. American UN vetoes, European arms sales, and Western media propaganda sustain the colonial system. But we need not wait. The Global South led by states like China, South Africa, and Brazil can force change. Europe must choose: follow or be left on the wrong side of history.
Why the West Opposes Decolonization
Result: sanctions are blocked, war crimes ignored, and Palestinian resistance criminalized.
Final Appeal to Europe
Stop following U.S. foreign policy. Choose the right side of history. Partner with BRICS+ to decolonize Palestine. Halt the genocide and push for a structural solution. The world is watching.
The Global South’s Legal-Political Offensive
China, BRICS nations, and most UN members have repeatedly condemned Israel’s violations. Now is the time to escalate:
Step 1: Formal Non-Recognition of Israel
Legal framework: Under the Montevideo Convention (1933), a state must meet four criteria:
Israel fails these tests:
Actions:
Step 2: Economic and Diplomatic Isolation
Step 3: Military-Legal Pressure
Why China?
Conclusion: The Time for Talk is Over
The West has chosen injustice. Now, the Global South must:
This is no fantasy; it is a strategy that begins with one statement:
“We no longer recognize your colonial regime.”

While Gaza bleeds, the hegemonic forces and the Gulf States feast.
Trump visited with Al Jolani, the current leader of Syria.
[Note: I understand many are disappointed on how the Syrian situation developed, and feel completely isolated and betrayed. It was a long war, and the end of it is that Assad and his forces could not resist any longer. Rightly or wrongly, too many were arrayed against them, and they fell from the inside. As in war, the new leader is now in command. That is what we have to work with. As leaders were appointed for other countries (example Venezuela and the elections in Europe where by lawfare and dirty tricks they vote until they have in who they want using any and all techniques and tactics). In Syria, it took many long years and in the end the Assad Must Go faction won. This absence of a moderating force is now being used by Trump to further the Greater Israel project, perhaps just not in the name of Israel, but we all know proxies. We have to understand and accept that this time the hegemon won. Assad chose the Gulf states to make common cause with. If you watched Trump’s speech, you will clearly see that the Gulf states are not our friends.
There may be an unspoken side benefit here for the hegemonic forces. The Uhhmah may be losing relevance as no-one on the resistance side accepts the public and oh so false public Uhhmah calls from the Gulf States. While we have an ‘American’ Pope, we may have an an ‘American’ Uhhmah. Crusades are oh so fashionable again.]
The White House reveals Trump’s demands to Syria’s Al-Sharaa (Al Jolani):
Normalization with Israel (Abraham Accords)
Deport Palestinian, foreign terrorists
Help US fight ISIS resurgence
Take control of ISIS detention centers in Northeast Syria
Erdogan also joined via phone
Jolani agreee to normalise with Israel while co-operating with US against Iran.
The aim is now the complete destruction of Palestine and the objective is to destroy the Palestinian people, even more than what they are doing today. As they call them Hamas in the Gaza strip to explain any and all bombings and destruction of people, hospitals and human life, in Syria they will now call them ‘foreign terrorists’ or ISIS.
Iran is now in the crosshairs. In the midst of negotiations with Iran, Trump urges Zionist-Puppet-Gulf-States to maintain “devastating” sanctions on Iran.
From Marwa Osman
Imagine this: A man is mugged, beaten within an inch of his life, his home looted, his family torn apart. Years later, when he’s lying in a coma, those who beat him return to say: “Good news! We’ll let you have a sip of your own water now.”
This is exactly what some are celebrating as “the lifting of sanctions” on Syria.
They’re cheering for crumbs, throwing parades for a thief who pockets your wallet then offers you back a receipt.
Let’s be real about what this sanctions relief does NOT include:
It doesn’t end America’s illegal occupation of Syrian land or its looting of Syria’s oil.
It doesn’t stop Israeli airstrikes on sovereign Syrian territory.
It doesn’t reverse the theft of entire factories by Turkey, carted off across the border.
It doesn’t reopen bombed-out drug plants, fertilizer industries, or textile mills.
It doesn’t let Syria freely trade, grow, or build without U.S. oversight and Zionist approval.
It doesn’t compensate Syria for thousands of tanks, planes, and missiles destroyed in a war it didn’t start.
It doesn’t rebuild the Syrian army.
It doesn’t address the crushing unemployment.
It won’t restore the Syrian Lira, nor bring back security or unity.
It sure won’t reunite the Kurds or the Druze with the Syrian national fabric.
This “lifting of sanctions” won’t give Syria back its independence snatched by American boots, Zionist bombs, and Turkish greed.
But it will fatten the wallets of warlords like al-Julani and his crew.
So I ask you: what exactly are you celebrating? Is it relief…or just being grateful for the chain around your neck being slightly loosened?
R.I.P Syria.

An eloquent short historical profile of the Ansarullah movement by a fair critic from south Yemen. She is from Aden, the traditional rival of north Yemen of the last centuries, and the third most important global sea port in the 19th century.
She dispels Anglo-Zionist agitprop that Yemenis serve Iran, or that Ansarullah are a minority; they control 80-85% of the total population that lives bunched in the smaller but more secure highland north. Zaidi Islam is followed by 40% of all Yemenis and coexists peacefully with Sunni and Shia, being not of either, but a bridge respected by all except fringe salafi extremists imported from the GCC. She reminds us that ALL Yemenis have been devotees of Palestine and their liberation cause for over a century now, starting with the British occupation.
Ansarullah represent and merely discharge the will of at least 30-32 Million of the 40 M Yemenis.
