    Really well written little piece on life in Gaza

    https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/21/o...rael-life.html

    Comment


      Article in Newsweek from member of BTSelem. Notable how some semblance (very small, but better than previously) of an anti occupation voice is creeping into the US mainstream media http://www.newsweek.com/ahed-tamimi-...-israel-852254

        While at the same time diminishing in the UK media

          This. Especially since Corbyn. Guardian etc much quieter on the Occupation now.

            No comment here from me. It shows how an apartheid state works.

              Behind closed doors. So we can't see the pressure she was put under.

              Fuck Israel

                Heartily recommend the Mark Thomas show currently touring, which I saw in Leeds last fri.

                Stages the story of a series of comedy workshops he ran in Jenin and ends with the stand up routines of two Palestinian comedians touring with him, who developed the material in the workshops

                  I suspect so too. The 'antisemitism' shitstorms - real and trumped up - do seem to have had an effect. The Israeli government's supporters and lobbyists have had a stunningly successful couple of years.

                    Pressured to take a plea bargain to avoid a tougher sentence due to the high conviction rates of military courts. Fuck Israel and their supposed democracy.

                      Regev is an effective bastard as Ambassador. Folk in even progressive media have now blithely declared the two state solution dead, without following through that should mean full civil rights for Palestinians. And a right of return. Why, that’d just be absurd. No real counter opinion bar and mealy mouthed on the one hand leaders, the occasional comment piece bucking the trend or critical article buried deep in the site once the novelty wears off. Useful idiots. Bastards.

                      And to get parochial, this is probably what will happen with the GFA among non Torygraph ‘quality’ comment writers with no knowledge of what they’re talking about (think fucking Simon Jenkins is already getting in there, but could see erstwhile Sensibles joining his froth) once its implications look to break the deal. It’ll be Irish intransigence that caused the sudden depression/caused Britain to cave on almost everything.

                        The March of Return, a non violent protest in Gaza today has been opened fire upon by the IDF. So far 6 dead. Of course nothing will happen about this.

                          I am hearing reports of 9 daed and 1000s injured. 100 live snipers covering the march started firing when stones were thrown.

                            No stones. Completely unprovoked. They had drones dropping tear gas. BBC and ny times call this "clashes". Reuters is better. This is Israel's Tiananmem Square

                            14 dead now

                              Or Bloody Sunday. Complete with "Derry Young Hooligans" style narrative.

                                  15 dead and 750 injured and some minor words of condemnation from the world. I truly despair of the world we live in.
