What was the role of Americans on the ethnic cleansing of #Palestinians before 7th of October?

"What’s a guy from Virginia doing building a fence outside a Palestinian family’s house?

In exclusive footage obtained by AJ+, a group of Americans were filmed installing wiring and a fence around the land just outside the Salem family home in occupied East Jerusalem.

The incident happened just days after the family was served an eviction notice by settlers who are linked to U.S. charities.

In this report, we explore how the effort to displace the Salems has been decades in the making."

[Translated into English] #GazaFlotilla: #Israel Ready to Send Elite #Military Commando Against Women #Activists

While the #FreedomFlotilla crew is expected to reach Gaza around 7 June, the Israeli authorities have unveiled their intention to intercept it before by force.

The Jerusalem Post revealed preparations for a military operation to prevent the #Madleen ship from reaching the shores of the besieged enclave, including through the intervention of the elite commando #Shayetet13.

Cathu Isnard
5 June, 2025

"While the Freedom Flotilla, part of Sicily on 1 June, may see its arrival in Gaza delayed by its relief to several Sudanese migrants in the Mediterranean Sea, Israeli authorities and leaders are preparing for their arrival in Gaza by considering how to minimize the positive impact of this symbolic operation on the Palestinian people and their supporters. According to Israeli military sources quoted by the Jerusalem Post, the armed forces are contemplating a clear scenario: if the flotilla passengers refuse to turn around at the request of the IDF, a naval commando, Shayete 13, could be deployed to board the boat and take control to arrest passengers there, including Rima Hassan and Greta Thunberg.

"The aim would then be to forcibly transfer them to the Israeli port of Ashdod before expelling them from the territory, sending the militants back to their respective countries of origin. Behind this well-oiled military plan lies the desire to avoid at all costs the symbol of pro-Palestinian militants breaking the Israeli blockade that is starving the Palestinian population. The use of the elite forces of Shayet and 13 confirms the will of the Israeli ruling class to silence by force any voice that dares to defy the siege and genocide under way in Gaza, with the complicity of the imperialist states.
Shayet 13: a name that evokes state violence

"The possible use of Shayet 13 is not trivial. This Israeli naval commando is infamous for its role in the deadly boarding of the humanitarian fleet of the Mavi Marmara in 2010. At the time, Israeli soldiers killed nine Flotilla militants wishing to reach Gaza, including eight Turkish citizens and one American-Turkish, in international waters. A cynically condemned attack on the international scene and by the leaders of the imperialist States, without withdrawing their support for Israel's colonial and murderous policies.

"That Israel now plans to reuse the same unit to intercept the Madleen demonstrates the continuity of a warlike and repressive logic. It is not a police operation, but a demonstration of military force against civilians armed with food, medicine and political demands. The reflection of the heroism of the crew members on board the ship which unmasks all the cowardice and cynicism of #ColonialViolence.

"In the face of this threat of military aggression, defending the flotilla is defending the right to solidarity, it is to refuse the erasure of Gaza behind the barbed wires of a criminal blockade and the deafening media silence on the ongoing massacres. The courage of the Madleen passengers must be a lever to move forward in the construction of a powerful international solidarity movement, in which the workers’ movement has a central role to play, as the Fos-sur-Mer dockworkers have shown on Wednesday. This is the only way to stop the genocidal machine at work, supported by our leaders."

Revolution Permanente · Flottille pour Gaza : Israël prêt à envoyer un commando militaire d'élite contre les militant·esBy Cathu Isnard

I recommend watching this older #documentary about #Zionist #colonizers / #racist land thieves.

The #Settlers is a 2016 #Israeli documentary film directed by Shimon Dotan.
The #film takes a critical look at the Israeli settlements in the #WestBank. “The Settlers” traces the #history of Israeli settlements in the West Bank & their growth through both individual action & tacit encouragement of Israeli #politicians.

Not to be confused with Louis Theroux: The Settlers (2025).

Film Review: ‘The Settlers’.
Shimon Dotan's documentary on Israeli settlements in the West Bank has the power to provoke strong reactions wherever it plays.

#Yemeni #cartoonist - Kamal Sharaf is unapologetic about his bold #political beliefs & #ArtActivism to illustrate his support for the resistance against past & present #ColonialViolence #genocide. He had been targeted, arrested & jailed for his resistance art activism before.

Most of his strongest #PoliticalArt pieces are targeted at illustrating the collaborative colonial land grabs driven #terrorism from #Israel & #Zionists in #USgovernment - both who blatantly violate #InternationalLaws. Both are guilty of multiple #WarCrimes & both aren't to be trusted. Bigoted buddies in ethnic cleansing genocide of Arab peoples. Best friends in pathological pitiful lying.

Recommended #documentary film.

Between 1952 and 1960, Britain fought a vicious war in Kenya against the anticolonial Mau Mau movement. It was an exceptionally bloody conflict, with atrocities committed on both sides. For decades, many of the worst abuses by British colonial forces were kept hidden. Piecing together survivor testimonies and expert analysis from British and Kenyan historians, this film tells a complete and detailed story for the first time of how Britain was involved in systemic torture – including accounts of murders, rapes and forced castrations.

A Very British Way of Torture is a film by Ed McGown and produced by Rob Newman.

A #delegate from #MERC #Indonesia, a #MedicalRescue committee, says they received “two warnings” from the #Israeli army to evacuate Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern #Gaza, forcing the delegation to cease their #medical assistance operations.

Hossam Abu Safieh, the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, said Israel conducted several strikes on Friday that hit the facility, one of the last functioning #health centres in the area.
"There was a series of air strikes on the northern and western sides of the #hospital, accompanied by intense and direct fire," he said, adding that four staff were killed and no #surgeons were left at the site.

Atta Jaber’s family has farmed the Baqa'a Valley in the illegally occupied #WestBank for hundreds of years, but since Israel’s 1967 occupation, their land has been confiscated piecemeal by Israeli settlers, and their homes and ancient farming terraces attacked and demolished. “The sound of the bulldozer is the music of the occupation,” says Atta - yet he preaches love and peace. Uniquely spanning 25 years in a farmer’s struggle to stay steadfast, this film is a moving #testimony to the depth of one man’s #humanity in the face of intensifying settler violence and intimidation. Rooted in the West Bank is a documentary by Bruno Sorrentino and Uri Fruchtmann.

Fellow #SaveOldGrowth forest defender, Sheena, made a short film. It includes the jingle dance circle with me & several other #environmental #landback #activists on the bridge between River & Landback resistance camps.

River & Landback camps were main strongholds at Fairy Creek blockade. River camp was the first resistance camp set up in 2020 & it ran for a year before final big raid. There are 2 very rough logging roads that lead up to untouched old growth forest tracts from these camps. River camp is also where people could go hike to see/visit with Grandmother & Grandfather cedars. After we were removed, industry started cutting more roads up into the untouched old growth tracts. Teal Jones logging company has since pulled out due to financial issues & everything is up in the air at this time. Temporary deferral was renewed this year for some tracts by this one particular area in the watershed. Still hoping for permanent protections as the elder trees are not included in this small deferral.

"My student documentary on the Fairy Creek/Ada'itsx old growth forest blockade 🌲 something of a collage, made with many hands and hearts. While the blockade and movement has evolved and gone through many stages, the momentum remains and many still carry forth the activism in heart and deed."

If you follow ANY #religious organization that claims one group of human beings deserve to live & others do not deserve rights to life too - you're morally fucked up. If you believe that shit - you're going to believe that #ColonialViolence is a good thing - when it is wrong. If you believe in that shit, you'd be OK mass murdering everyone else who thinks colonial violence on genocidal scales is absolutely reprehensible & part of evil #Zionist #cult #atrocities.

We, #AntiZionists don't want to slaughter all of you #Zionists. We want you to be arrested, face international war crimes trials & be imprisoned for your decades long #CrimesAgainstHumanity.
