Yesterday, footage was captured of Israeli occupation bulldozers racing to demolish the homes of displaced Palestinian families in Rafah, southern Gaza. Thousands who sought refuge here were either killed or displaced again after Israel's military offensive in and around the city back in May.

Hanno Hauenstein on X summarised about a coming German parliamentary resolution titled «Never again is now: Protecting, preserving and strengthening Jewish life in Germany»

https://x.com/hahauenstein/status/1852632568593629376

“Germany is pushing a parliamentary resolution linking residency guarantees, asylum and public funding for arts and science to a loyalty oath to a state currently facing genocide charges at the International Court of Justice. This deserves international attention.”

I totally agree.

Verhandlungen im Bundestag: Ampel und Union einigen sich auf Resolution gegen Antisemitismus (Spiegel, 2024-11-01)

“… nun ist die Einigung da. »Nie wieder ist jetzt: Jüdisches Leben in Deutschland schützen, bewahren und stärken«, lautet der Titel des vierseitigen Entwurfs, der dem SPIEGEL vorliegt…”

“… Israel habe das völkerrechtlich verbriefte Recht, sich gegen völkerrechtswidrige Angriffe zu verteidigen und damit die anerkannte Pflicht, seine Bürger unter Wahrung seiner völkerrechtlichen Verpflichtungen vor Terror zu schützen, heißt es in dem Text.

“Die Bundesregierung wird aufgefordert, weiterhin aktiv für die Existenz und die legitimen Sicherheitsinteressen des Staates Israel als ein zentrales Prinzip der deutschen Außen- und Sicherheitspolitik einzutreten…”

Fast eine Kriegserklärung gegen Vernunft und Menschlichkeit.

(Link to the “Letter for Gaza”
https://substack.com/inbox/post/151024243?utm%5C_campaign=post&showWelcomeOnShare=true )

“More than 100 BBC employees are accusing the corporation of providing favourable coverage toward Israel and are calling on the broadcaster to ‘recommit to fairness, accuracy, and impartiality’ over its reporting on Gaza.

“In a letter sent to Tim Davie, signed by more than 230 members of the media industry, including 101 anonymous BBC staff, the corporation is criticised for failing its own editorial standards by lacking ‘consistently fair and accurate evidence-based journalism in its coverage of Gaza’”.

"Alex McDonald’s When They Speak Israel, reviewed here by Steve Grant, explains to all of us how to engage. His basic assumption is that while some Zionists are dyed-in-the-wool racists or ethnonationalists, most are not. They sincerely believe they oppose racism but have been taught that support for Israel is justified — if not a solemn moral duty."

After trying to block production at an Elbit factory in New Hampshire, the Palestine solidarity activists are calling for more, better direct action.

After a year-long campaign against its premises by Palestine Action and local community groups, Barclays PLC has sold all of its shareholdings in Elbit Systems Ltd (ELST). Until recently, Barclays owned over 16,000 shares in Elbit Systems, Israel’s largest weapons company.

Starting just over one year ago, Palestine Action’s campaign saw activists undertake 54 actions against Barclays premises nation-wide. Smashing branch windows, spraying them in blood-red paint, many of these actions put Barclays sites out of operation for weeks, actions which sought to raise the costs associated with dealing with Elbit.

In the latest U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filings, Barclays owned 0 shares in Elbit Systems Ltd (ELST) [1], down 16,345 since the previous filing, 15th May 2024, worth over $3,400,000 [2].

Until then, recent filings had showed Barclays’ Elbit shareholdings at record high quantities [3], having steadily increased from zero ten years ago. The most recent SEC filings and NASDAQ data record an immediate total sale of Barclays’ ELST shares [4], abruptly sold just when Palestine Action’s campaign hit them hardest.
