• An international civil society movement for Palestine is needed today m

    Let us be clear.

    Gaza was a crime, even before Israel’s current genocidal war. One of
    the world’s most densely populated spaces served for years as what was essentially the world’s largest open air prison. If not a crime, it
    was certainly a violation of international law and an affront to human
    dignity and decency.

    However, the recent horrifying events perpetrated there seem to have
    awakened the world’s conscience. Tragically, despite widespread
    international demonstrations and condemnation no ceasefire has been
    achieved and Gaza’s humanitarian crisis continues. Those who are not
    killed by Israel’s relentless bombing will suffer from continued
    displacement, or, even worse, die from starvation and disease.

    Moreover, this crisis continues to escalate. What began in Gaza one
    year ago now threatens to engulf the entire region in a conflagration
    that could further enflame hatred, wreak devastation, worsen the
    humanitarian crisis, and redraw the map of the entire region.

    However, imagine for a moment what might have happened if a
    coordinated global solidarity movement for peace and justice in Israel
    and Palestine existed? Could it have brought political pressure on
    governments to demand a ceasefire and end the flow of weapons to
    Israel, thus ending the genocide in Gaza—–perhaps within the first
    month of the hostilities? How many lives could have been saved, and
    how much senseless violence and devastation could have been avoided?
    Many of us from an earlier generation believed that we had built such
    a movement in the mid-1980s.

    At one time, the International Coordinating Committee on the Question
    of Palestine (ICCP) comprised more than 1,200 member organizations
    worldwide. The outcome of a United Nations (UN) initiative for a
    global conference on Palestine, these highly diverse non-governmental organizations (NGOs) ranged in size, scope, and diversity from small
    grassroots committees to large and complex organizations such as the
    Canadian Autoworkers and many American Protestant churches. Vibrant
    networks operated in Europe, North America, Africa, Latin America, and
    Asia as well as separate networks in Israel and Palestine.

    However, we found ourselves haunted by the question of sustainability
    as we witnessed its demise in the mid-1990s. It is likely that most contemporary organizers are unaware of its existence, but the story of
    the ICCP holds many important lessons for today’s organizers.

    Let us be clear.

    Gaza was a crime

    Bullshit.


    even before Israel's current genocidal war.

    You mean the one forced on them by Hamas which has the EXTERMINATION of the entire Jewish population as one of their mandates?


    One of
    the world's most densely populated spaces served for years as what was essentially the world's largest open air prison.

    If the people didn't like it, they were free to leave anytime they wanted
    to.

    If not a crime, it
    was certainly a violation of international law and an affront to human dignity and decency.

    Hamas? They certainly are.

    However, the recent horrifying events perpetrated there seem to have
    awakened the world's conscience.

    That Hamas are dangerous religious zealots that seek the utter extermination
    of all Jews?


    Tragically, despite widespread
    international demonstrations and condemnation no ceasefire has been
    achieved and Gaza's humanitarian crisis continues.

    Because Hamas won't quit until all the Jews are dead.

    Those who are not
    killed by Israel's relentless bombing will suffer from continued displacement, or, even worse, die from starvation and disease.

    Which can all be blamed on Hamas.. for attempting to use innocent people has human shields and hiding among those innocent people like the cowards they
    are.


    Moreover, this crisis continues to escalate.

    As Hamas refuses to quit.

    What began in Gaza one
    year ago now threatens to engulf the entire region in a conflagration
    that could further enflame hatred, wreak devastation, worsen the
    humanitarian crisis, and redraw the map of the entire region.

    Hence the need for the extermination of Hamas and the escalation of the
    Jew's efforts towards that end

    However, imagine for a moment what might have happened if a
    coordinated global solidarity movement for peace and justice in Israel
    and Palestine existed?

    Hamas would all be dead or in custody.

    We don't blame the victim for being mugged and we certainly don't blame them for defending themselves.

    Hamas started it, continues it, and refuses to give any consideration to the innocent lives of those they hide behind.

    I see 3 solutions.

    1) Hamas exterminates the Jews as they seek to do.
    2) Jews kill off all the member of Hamas in their self defense.
    3) Hamas decides they can get along with the Jews.

    I would add 4, but Jews have regularly tried getting along with Hamas who
    then always attacks the Jews once the feel they have amassed enough power.
    So I no longer see that as a viable option, unless efforts are made on #3

    So let's be very clear.

    Hamas started the war, continues the war, and seems unwilling to EVER live
    in peace with Jews.

    Any Palestinian leader who agreed to such an accord would have been
    committing treason. The Zionists stole that part of Palestine you now
    call Israel. The Palestinians welcome a democracy encompassing all of Palestine, open to Palestinian and native Jew alike. One person, one
    vote. Can't get more fair than that.

    Bullshit. There has NEVER been a Palestine state. EVER. The Jews
    however, lived in that area for thousands of years and even the prophet Mohammad stated as much in his writings.

    It was ruled by an Ottoman governor and he was intensely antisemitic. The Palestinians lived there for at least 4000 years.
    The people of the Book are always quarreling over the intepretation
    of the books they hold sacred. Christians, Jews, and Moslems are
    rarely of one mind on the meaning.



    The area has been attacked and conquered over and over and over, and
    never was there a Palestine state.. but it is and was the home of the Jews.

    The home of the Jews in Jewish and Christian mythology.
    The Romans destroyed the Jewish Temple and much of Jersalem in
    about 33 CE. The Palestians remained because they were not temple
    dependent nor had they tried to cast off the yoke of Roman imperialism.

    Read the Wikipedia article on the Region of Palestine
    And it ancient history. Jews did not show up until about 1300 BCE
    and do not appear to have conquered the area. Thus the myth is
    cast into doubt. Samson versus the Philestines-called into doubt. <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Palestine>

    Even what I write is perhaps an over-simplification but
    there were several states under various empires which bore the
    words for Palestine in their names.


    All I can say if you were offered a settlement, it was turned down, we
    no longer need to consider your desires. You are like spoiled children
    that refuse to share and demand nothing but the entire candy bar.. which
    was never yours in the first place.

    Why is not the land they farmed for thousands of years still
    in their hands because in their mythology the forces of Allah would
    sweep all before them and then the Palestinians could go home. That
    failure of Arabian and Egyptian arms is called the Nakba which means catastrophe. Of course the Jewish people and the Palestinians are
    cousins because that is the most distant relationship possible among
    humanity.
    So Allah aka JVH or any of other numerous alias does not
    intervene in cousin versus cousin fights apparently.

    You mean the Jews... oh, and if it was rule over by a governor from the

    Well, the Muslim prophet Mohammad made it pretty clear that that area was
    the home of the Jews who had lived there since the start of time.

    No Palestine state.

    So what does that have to do with the false claims today by Arabic

    Any Palestinian leader who agreed to such an accord would have been
    committing treason. The Zionists stole that part of Palestine you now
    call Israel.

    Bullshit. There has NEVER been a Palestine state. EVER. The Jews
    however, lived in that area for thousands of years and even the prophet
    Mohammad stated as much in his writings.

    It was ruled by an Ottoman governor and he was intensely antisemitic.
    The Palestinians lived there for at least 4000 years.

    I think you mean "Canaanites". Which, IIRC, are now the Lebanese.

    And I would think you mean the Philistines, were it not that a quick
    check suggests that the term "Palestine" came from "Philistia" but was
    used for all of Canaan by the Greeks and the Romans ("Syria
    Palaestina"). The current "Palestinians" appear to be a mixture of
    Arabs from the Islamic conquest or before, plus perhaps some Jews,
    plus perhaps some Samaritans.

    The people of the Book are always quarreling over the intepretation
    of the books they hold sacred. Christians, Jews, and Moslems are
    rarely of one mind on the meaning.

    If you say so.

    The area has been attacked and conquered over and over and over, and
    never was there a Palestine state.. but it is and was the home of the Jews.

    The home of the Jews in Jewish and Christian mythology.

    And in history. Philistia was on the coast, the Israelites were
    further inland. Basically, they were able to conquer the
    less-populated hills but not the well-populated plains.

    The Romans destroyed the Jewish Temple and much of Jersalem in
    about 33 CE. The Palestians remained because they were not temple
    dependent nor had they tried to cast off the yoke of Roman imperialism.

    Actually, that was in 70 CE; I just read an article on "The Siege of Jerusalem". Titus, son of Vespasian, did it because Vespasian was busy
    in Rome becoming Emperor after Nero was followed by three other
    short-lived generals in one year.

    But the Jews didn't /leave/ the area until the mid-2nd Century, when
    the Romans expelled them and prohibitted their return. These were
    /feisty/ Jews, and the Roman Peace was offended by them.

    Read the Wikipedia article on the Region of Palestine
    And it ancient history. Jews did not show up until about 1300 BCE
    and do not appear to have conquered the area. Thus the myth is
    cast into doubt. Samson versus the Philestines-called into doubt. ><https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Palestine>

    There are three different groups writing on this topic and doing the
    relevant archaeology:
    -- one group takes the Bible as a tour guide and everything they dig
    up confirms it
    -- another group takes the Bible as complete hooey and nothing they
    dig up confirms it
    -- a very small third group actually does non-ideological archaeology
    The Wikipedia article, if it says what you claim, may have been
    written by members of the second group.

    As I noted above, the Israelites stuck to the hill country. This is
    evident from the Bible itself, despite its repeated assertions that
    "then everything else was conquered". The tribe of Dan is explicitly
    said to have relocated to the North because the inhabitants of the
    area originally assigned to them resisted effectively. This is why
    some maps show "Dan" in two places.

    Even what I write is perhaps an over-simplification but
    there were several states under various empires which bore the
    words for Palestine in their names.

    As noted above, "Palestine" is a form of "Philistia" and the
    Greeks/Romans used it for all of Canaan.

    All I can say if you were offered a settlement, it was turned down, we
    no longer need to consider your desires. You are like spoiled children
    that refuse to share and demand nothing but the entire candy bar.. which
    was never yours in the first place.

    Why is not the land they farmed for thousands of years still
    in their hands because in their mythology the forces of Allah would
    sweep all before them and then the Palestinians could go home. That
    failure of Arabian and Egyptian arms is called the Nakba which means >catastrophe. Of course the Jewish people and the Palestinians are
    cousins because that is the most distant relationship possible among >humanity.

    The Arab conquests were not about recovering previously-owned land;
    they were about conquering the World for Allah. Which, without Charles
    Martel, they might well have done (well, Europe/North Africa anyway).

    If you are talking about the Arab-Israeli wars, you must understand
    that the Palestinans who left their land did so after being assured
    that their arab brothers would push every single Jew into the sea to
    drown and then they could move back. But they failed.

    So Allah aka JVH or any of other numerous alias does not
    intervene in cousin versus cousin fights apparently.

    That would be the Hamas/Hezbollah belief, perhaps. An alternative
    would be to accept that the defeats and the establishment of Israel
    were Allah's will, and that to submit to that is what is appropriate.

    IOW, to focus on bullding their own State, and stop pretending they
    are ever going to get their family farms back. Removing the Israeli
    "colonies", however, might be a reasonable goal ... in the context of
    peace breaking out. Which will only happen if /both/ sides decide they
    want peace and not victory.

    Just as it's about time for the older generation of Cubans to
    recognize that, even in Communism falls in Cuba, they will /not/ be
    getting their haciendas, campesinos, and lucrative fruit contracts
    back.

    https://www.secretservice.gov/newsroom/releases/2024/01/phoenix-man-arrested-making-online-death-threats-against-president-and

    PHOENIX –David Michael Hanson, 41, of Phoenix, was arrested on Wednesday
    for making online threats against the President and Vice-President.
    Hanson was charged by Federal criminal complaint on Tuesday with five
    counts of Threats Against the President and Successors to the Presidency
    and five counts of Interstate Communication of Threats.

    The complaint alleges that in November and December of 2023, while
    living in Arizona, Hanson used a social media platform to post threats
    to murder the President and Vice President of the United States. On
    November 19, 2023, Hanson posted online a series of threatening
    statements including one that stated, “#joeAndKamala I’m asking you to resign on Monday your alternative is death brutally murdered.” After the
    U.S. Secret Service spoke to Hanson and warned him that it was a Federal
    crime to post such threats, on December 23, 2023, Hanson posted another
    series of similar threats aimed at the President and Vice-President.

    Each count of Threats Against the President and Successors to the
    Presidency carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison, a fine of
    up to $250,000, and up to three years of supervised release. Each count
    of Interstate Communication of Threats carries a maximum sentence of
    five years in prison, a fine of up to $250,000, and up to three years of supervised release.

    A complaint is simply a method by which a person is charged with
    criminal activity and raises no inference of guilt. An individual is
    presumed innocent until evidence is presented to a jury that establishes
    guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

    The United States Secret Service is conducting the investigation in this
    case. The United States Attorney’s Office, District of Arizona, is
    handling the prosecution.

    Any Palestinian leader who agreed to such an accord would have been
    committing treason. The Zionists stole that part of Palestine you now
    call Israel.

    Bullshit. There has NEVER been a Palestine state. EVER. The Jews
    however, lived in that area for thousands of years and even the
    prophet Mohammad stated as much in his writings.

    Thousands of years if you include the Jews remaining in the region
    Palestine after the destruction of the Temple do we get to 1000s
    of years otherwise about 1500 years.

    Mohamed the Prophet blessed be his name, was himself a victim of
    Mythology which is the only way people knew things about the past
    before archeology,ethnology and modern DNA based genetics were
    available.


    It was ruled by an Ottoman governor and he was intensely antisemitic.
    The Palestinians lived there for at least 4000 years.

    No I mean the people who lived in Palestine, farming, herding,
    drawing water, hewing wood, making pots and tanning leather and
    leading their lives without much thought for the nature of Deity but
    what was taught to them by their leaders/conquerors/priests.
    These days, some are Muslims, Jews and Christians and when
    the State of Israel was imposed some of them left to become
    refugees and suffer the Nakba. Some stayed and are victims of the
    repressive policies.


    You mean the Jews... oh, and if it was rule over by a governor from the Ottoman empire.. that means it was not a Palestine state.. it was merely
    a province of the Empire.


    The people of the Book are always quarreling over the intepretation
    of the books they hold sacred. Christians, Jews, and Moslems are
    rarely of one mind on the meaning.

    Well, the Muslim prophet Mohammad made it pretty clear that that area
    was the home of the Jews who had lived there since the start of time.

    No Palestine state.

    Yes I see you are a scriptural fundamentalist and the Hindu
    aka the Fire Worshipers predicate a vaster longer time since the
    beginning of the World than 6000 years ago. You accept the mythology
    and prefer to remain ignorant of science. The Prophet would laugh
    at your ignorance.

    The area has been attacked and conquered over and over and over, and
    never was there a Palestine state.. but it is and was the home of the
    Jews.

    The home of the Jews in Jewish and Christian mythology.
    The Romans destroyed the Jewish Temple and much of Jersalem in
    about 66 CE. The Palestinians remained because they were not temple
    dependent nor had they tried to cast off the yoke of Roman imperialism.

    I see, so the Palestines were actually the Jews..

    No they were the Samaritans who worshiped the same god as the
    Jewish people but were execrated by the power structure in Jerusalem
    in the time of the prophet called Jesus. alleged to have been the
    Christ of the Christians. This religious group vanished from records
    about 600 CE.


    So what does that have to do with the false claims today by Arabic terrorists?


    They are living in the world of Myth where they believe
    multiple contradictory things. The words of the Prophet and the
    relatively long historical claims of the Muslim population of the
    region of Palestine against the somewhat lapsed claim of the
    Jewish Masses to a historic but equally mythical prolonged claim
    to the Region of Palestine.

    Don't forget all the now mythical tribes that populated
    the area. Philistines, Amorites and the rest. Mythical reported
    to have been conquered but only the organizers died, the rest of
    the people who farmed the land and herded the sheep only moved
    further away from the armies of the conquerors.

    It should be called the Unholy land where the conflicting
    claims of prophets have been the source of endless infighting.
