Palestine defenders on Thursday condemned Israeli forces’ raidb of the latest Global Sumud Flotilla—which was sailing off the Greek coast while attempting to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza—and the arrest of more than 200 of its participants, with some prominent critics calling the seizure an act of piracy.
Greenpeace International—whose MY Arctic Sunrise is the flotilla’s most prominent ship—said that the maritime convoy’s 58 vessels were “boarded and harassed by Israeli forces in international waters 45 nautical miles west of the Greek island Kythira and 600 nautical miles from Gaza.”
Israel has fair election , Israelis are voting for genocing Palestinians
I’ve said this before. As Norman Finkelstein has said, Israel is a lost society. They support government actions in Gaza to the tune of 70/80%. The whole country needs to be torn apart and given back to the Arab population that lived there. Jewish, Christian, and Muslim Arabs who are indigenous need to have sovereignty of their land. European Jews like myself are a cancerous influence on the Middle East and serve no purpose other than to cause trouble.
Norman oppose a one state solution though
No. For a long time he would say that a one state solution isn’t possible. That’s different from whether he wants one. I don’t know where he stands these days but his diagnosis of Israeli society, his assessment of the government, and advocacy for Palestinians against a terrorist government is spot on.
On bad faith podcast. He said that he reject a one state because it is not based on international law
Well not entirely fair. It is an Apartheid for Jews. Most Palestinians do not get to vote.
Most Palestinians do not get citizenship at all
Since when East jerusalem and west bank is Israel? People in Israel can all vote and they are voting for pro colonization candidates. Aparteith is not defined by unability to vote but by the intent to dominate, systematic oppression and inhumne acts
Curious. Are they as divided as we are in the West on domestic and international issues?
I know of a certain man with a funny mustache from Deutschland who would get a hearty chuckle out of this genocidal business, given who is committing it.
No they are not. That is the problem.
On domestic issues that don’t involve the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, yes, there are bitter divisions. On ethnically cleansing Palestinians, no, they are virtually unanimous. On waging constant war and stealing land, again, no division, virtually unanimous.
