It's a pretext. <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Hamas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hamas</a> was willing to release all hostages under specific conditions: a complete cessation of hostilities, the release of prisoners, and guarantees for its survival.

The offensive endangers hostages, reducing their chances of survival due to the consequences of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IDF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IDF</a> bombings.The organization "Imma Era" (Alert or awoken Mother), which unites mothers of female and male combat soldiers, stated that "returning to fighting less than a day after the announcement of the dismissal of the head of the Shin Bet raises serious questions about the timing of the decision.

This legislative initiative, which fails to acknowledge its disproportionate impact on Arab Israeli citizens despite legal requirements to do so, contravenes Israel's obligations under international conventions, including the Convention on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the Convention on the Rights of the Child. The amendment's purported justification—that children born in these territories inherently possess "identification and loyalty" to those entities—lacks empirical foundation and conflicts with established legal principles regarding citizenship acquisition, thereby constituting what critics characterize as a demographically motivated policy that further marginalizes an already vulnerable population segment within Israeli society.Hebrew <a href="https://www.regthink.org/child-citizenship-revocation" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.regthink.org/child-citizenship-revocation</a><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/palestine" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@palestine</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/israel" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@israel</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IsraelOccupation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IsraelOccupation</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Nakba" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nakba</a>

oatmealQuoting Nesrine Malik: Israel is engaged in "a forever war of permanent vengeance"The occupation forces continue killing Palestinians despite a supposed ceasefire, with over 100 Palestinians killed in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Gaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Gaza</a> since January. Israel is deliberately blocking humanitarian aid as collective punishment, causing starvation and the freezing deaths of babies in torn tents. In the West Bank, almost 1,000 Palestinians have been killed since October 7 through deliberate settler violence and military attacks. Nearly half of all Palestinian children killed in the West Bank over the past 20 years were killed just in the last year, including documented shootings of children as young as two years old. The occupation forces are systematically destroying infrastructure, forcibly displacing 40,000 Palestinians, targeting medical facilities, and expanding illegal settlements. […] The playbook and justifications are eerily similar to those used in Gaza. Targeting militants becomes the explanation for a whole range of ruinous activities, including but not limited to: destroying infrastructure, driving people out of their homes with no right of return (40,000 so far, in less than two months, according to Unrwa, the UN aid agency), targeting medical facilities and personnel, flattening entire neighbourhoods and that most lethal policy, loosening military rules of engagement to allow soldiers more leeway and mandate to open fire. According to Unrwa, “the use of airstrikes, armoured bulldozers, controlled detonations, and advanced weaponry by the Israeli forces has become commonplace” in the West Bank, and is “a spillover of the war in Gaza”. The result is an assault in the West Bank that is as historic as it was and is in Gaza.<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/mar/10/ceasefire-palestinians-gaza-israel-west-bank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/mar/10/ceasefire-palestinians-gaza-israel-west-bank</a><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/palestine" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@palestine</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/israel" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@israel</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GazaGenocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GazaGenocide</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/israelWarCrimes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#israelWarCrimes</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IsraelOccupation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IsraelOccupation</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SettlerViolence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SettlerViolence</a>

oatmeal<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Eurovision" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Eurovision</a> / Israel still allowed to maintain access to platforms of cultural diplomacy despite an ongoing genocide Israel's strategic deployment of cultural representation in the face of allegations of genocide is relentless. While facing <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ICJ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ICJ</a> investigation and scholarly condemnation of a genocide that has resulted in over 46,000 Palestinians deliberately and systematically murdered by the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IDF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IDF</a> (using U.S.-supplied weaponry,) Israel's Eurovision participation—featuring a survivor of the October 7 attack—is attempting, once again, to instrumentalize personal victimhood in service of state legitimation. It’s difficult to ignore the fact that this centering of Israeli suffering within international cultural forums occurs simultaneously with the systematic marginalization of Palestinian perspectives and experiences. The disproportionate media attention given to Israel's Eurovision candidacy, relative to, say, coverage of ongoing genocide in Gaza and the occupied West Bank, not to mention a brutal occupation, reflects broader patterns of narrative control that obscure accountability for actions against an occupied population. As one Israeli commentator wrote, “the song written for her [Yuval Raphae] by Keren Peles lacks even a trace of originality and freshness, resembling something more on the level of a young talent night at an unpopular brasserie - and conveys an oppressive sense of extra effort to be appealing.[…] And if that doesn't help either, one can always say that the problem isn't the lyrics, the melody, the French, the clip, the Keren, or the Peles: in the end, everyone is antisemitic.Hebrew <a href="https://www.ynet.co.il/entertainment/article/bjkqmw3s1x" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.ynet.co.il/entertainment/article/bjkqmw3s1x</a><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/palestine" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@palestine</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/israel" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@israel</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GazaGenocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GazaGenocide</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IsraelOccupation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IsraelOccupation</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/eurovision2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#eurovision2025</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/yuvalabraham" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#yuvalabraham</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/antisemitism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#antisemitism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/hasbara" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hasbara</a>* Edit: name Yuval Raphael

The Israeli Defense Minister, Israel Katz, has ordered the military to prepare for a prolonged stay in these camps, lasting a year, and has prohibited residents from returning. What is the fate of these displaced people? Where are they living? Are they being provided with shelter, food, and other essential services? Haaretz's reporter doesn't seem to think this might be an important detail.

oatmealQuoting Joe Sacco: “There is a fair chance that no one will be held accountable for what Israel - and the United States and much of Western Europe - have done to Gaza”“Civilising has always been the West's default burden and mass murder the shiniest tool in its box. The Americans had their 'manifest destiny', the French had their Algeria, the British had their Kenya, the Australians had their Tasmania and the Germans... And now together they have Gaza." <a href="https://english.hathalyoum.net/articles/152320-cartoonist-joe-sacco-on-gaza-is-this-land-ground" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://english.hathalyoum.net/articles/152320-cartoonist-joe-sacco-on-gaza-is-this-land-ground</a>Acclaimed comic creators Art Spiegelman ("Maus") and Joe Sacco ("Palestine") have collaborated on a three-page comic strip published in the Guardian and in the New York Review of Books <a href="https://www.nybooks.com/articles/2025/02/27/never-again-and-again-gaza-sacco-spiegelman/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.nybooks.com/articles/2025/02/27/never-again-and-again-gaza-sacco-spiegelman/</a>, titled "Never Again." The comic depicts the two artists, represented by their signature characters, visiting a devastated Gaza and discussing the ongoing war. They grapple with the phrase "Never Again," the cycle of violence, and the Israeli response to October 7th. A notable panel portrays <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Netanyahu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Netanyahu</a> as a green, inhuman figure emerging from a pile of eyeballs, with the artists commenting on his strategy of "extermination" rather than mere revenge. The comic explores themes of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/genocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#genocide</a>, anti-Semitism, the justification for Israel's existence, and the trauma inflicted on both sides. The artists conclude by holding flags stating "Never Again... For Anyone!" and advocating for a just solution.Hebrew <a href="https://www.haaretz.co.il/gallery/literature/2025-02-19/ty-article-magazine/.premium/00000195-1e06-dd3a-a797-ff87554d0000" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.haaretz.co.il/gallery/literature/2025-02-19/ty-article-magazine/.premium/00000195-1e06-dd3a-a797-ff87554d0000</a><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/israel" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@israel</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/palestine" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@palestine</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IsraelOccupation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IsraelOccupation</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IsraelWarCrimes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IsraelWarCrimes</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GazaGenocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GazaGenocide</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GraphicalJournalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GraphicalJournalism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GraphicNovels" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GraphicNovels</a>

The first, approved in a preliminary reading, would impose a five-year prison sentence on anyone, including citizens, public bodies, and organizations, who "provides services" or "makes resources available" to the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ICC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ICC</a> in The Hague. The burden of proof would be on the accused to demonstrate they were unaware their actions aided the ICC. Legal experts warn this could even apply to sharing social media posts of potential war crimes.[…] Dr. Tamar Megiddo, an expert in international law, warns that "the definitions of this dangerous bill are so broad that even someone who shares a photo or video on social media of a soldier documenting himself committing what appears to be a war crime is exposed to imprisonment." She added that if the proposal is approved, any journalist who publishes an investigative report that could testify to a crime committed by <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IDF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IDF</a> forces would also be exposed to imprisonment.The second bill, approved in its second and third readings, bans entry and residency in Israel for non-citizens who have denied the October 7th massacre or the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Holocaust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Holocaust</a>, or who have supported the prosecution of Israeli security forces in international courts.
