Everyone must get out to the streets Friday on every country on earth to stop genocide and reclaim internationa law and human rights

International law and international system are ending to serve special interests. Some people said it was ended long ago. But what is happening now is truly spectacular. 4000 tons of bombs dropped on 2.3 million people while denying them medicines, food, water, electricity and fuels. By the internationa law on paper this is a war rime and crime against humanity and is a violation of the International Convention on Genocide. This is what is supported by the US, Egland and France.

Everyone must get out to the streets Friday on every country on earth to stop killing for profits

Israel is one of the biggest arms exporters and its elites profit handsomely from this industry (companies like Elbit). The colossal military failure Israel suffered from the breakout of the imprisoned people of Gaza out of the largest open air prison.. Succeeding in overcomng this is bad for business, a publuc relations disaster. That is why the Zionist lobby went crazy and managed to even get the US to send an aircraft carrier and the French government to issue directives prohibiting speech against Israeli apartheid or support the colonized people in their legitimate struggles for freedom.

Everyone must get out to the streets Friday on every country on earth to challenge the lies and the distortions

Some people are still focused on the symptom and asked for data/sources relating to Hamas action in their breaking out of the Ghetto/concentration camp of Gaza (2.3 million people most of them refugees). Even though I really think the conversation should be steered elsewhere (like why do we still have refugees in Ghettos 75 years after ethnic cleansing and not allowed to return home), here goes: Here is a video that shows Israeli forces firing at Hamas militants with Israeli party goers caught in cross fire so it is not true that shooting at party goers was a slaughter of unarmed civilians as told to us by the Israeli media for that particular incident.

US President Biden said he saw pictures of atrocities including beheadings. When challenged to reveal the pictures, White House spokesman said we had no such things and we do not have independent verification beyond what the known liar Netanyahu told them (even 90% of Israelis distrust Netanyahu in latest survey). Hamas vehemently denied that its fighters targeted civilians in this incursion. See also Click Here and Click Here

Everyone must get out to the streets Friday on every country on earth to stop the dehumanization and attempts to demonize people.

In South Africa they tried to demonize the struggle against apartheid by picking and choosing certain actions of one or two of the factions in that struggle. They imposed apartheid but it never reached this level of destruction and dehumanization. You cannot use real or imagined Hamas atrocities to dehumanize 15 million Palestinian yearning for freedom.

Occupiers/oppressors do not have a right to "self-defense" and International law says oppressed people have a right to resist by the methods they choose. Israeli racist colonial settlers try to peddle oppression by playing on emotions and to justify the ongoing genocide in Gaza where some 500 children where murdered so far in six days and whole neighborhoods flattened and half a million left their neighborhoods being bombed. Israeli leaders proudlty explain this as collective punishment against a whole population. Even here in Bethlehem (largely Christian area) and other ghettos left in the West Bank we are denied freedom of movement, freedom of education etc.. No matter how you/I think of Hamas, apartheid Israel killed literally 100 times more people (99% civilian) than Hamas.

Everyone must get out to the streets Friday on every country on earth to say we can and must stop genocide now.

The Zionists now (egged on by Western support) are engaged in literal genocide (denying food, water, electricity and carper bvombing Gaza like never before). Zionism aimed to create a Jewish state in a land that was 97% not Jewish. The native people of Palestine were to be ethnically cleansed. 8 million of us are thus refugees or displaced people. Demonizing us was done before. Massacres were committed before (over 120,000 killed). But carpet bombing and denying food, water and medicines on such large scale has never been done before. Its aim is nothing less than genocide.

Everyone must get out to the streets Friday on every country on earth to insist on truth, independent investigations, and implementation of international law

Palestinians have always called for independent investigation. In fact all human rights organizations described Israel as an apartheid state. We also called for international protection and implementing all relevant UN resolutions especially the one calling for refugees to return home.

Everyone must get out to the streets Friday on every country on earth A global uprising is needed now---The future of humanity is at stake.

I'm an old Pogo fan. For some unknown reason I persist in outrage at Feudalism, as if human beings can do much better than this. Our old ways of life are obsolete and are killing us. Will the human race wake up in time? Stay (more...)
