On 19 December, 80-year-old Palestinian grandmother Halima Abu Leil was shot in an Israel Defence Forces (IDF) raid on her neighbourhood in Balata refugee camp in Nablus, West Bank.

Two days later, Halima’s children told Sky News their mother was shot six times by Israeli special forces on her way to buy groceries. She died soon after.

Newly released grainy CCTV footage shows the moment she was shot and reveals that a van marked as an ambulance was used during the surprise IDF raid.

I’ve seen the footage of the raid too, and I don’t think we need UN experts to tell whether opening fire from an ambulance is a war crime

We don’t. Not because we can see it with our own eyes, but because absolutely nothing will happen. The racist elites running the world don’t care about Israel genociding a poor, brown population.

“Could be.”

Jeez, I hope they make a determination soon! Because, like, it would be kinda nice if they would do something about it. Kick out the only two countries denying the fuckin genocide, pass resolutions, send peacekeepers, shout the goddamn genocide from the rooftops. And then the ICC could send people to arrest the perpetrators AND the enablers, shut down the fuckin war profiteers selling the weapons, nationalize their fuckin businesses, send these fucking monsters to The Hague and then the fuckin graveyard.

That is in the end the point of this right? Bibi is stoking antisemitism as quickly and as violently as possible in a desperate search for blowback that will legitimize Bibi’s authoritarianism and the narratives of hate he embodies.

The people most scared of the future they were condemned to by a betrayal of their leaders should be jews living in Israel, this is an awful period that will lead to the germination and development of decades of violence, suffering and war towards them and it is good for nobody except Bibi and other high ranking fascists in the apartheid state of Israel.

The genocide of Palestinians is a mindful, careful invocation of a new global paradigm (not that genocide and imperialism are anything new of course) and that paradigm promises war, hate and immense suffering placed on the working class all over the world.

Buckle up, fascists are taking note all over the world

:( :(

I wholeheartedly agree with your overall idea, but I think that Netanyahu is not some singular nexus of the bad politics of the Israeli Right. Without Netanyahu, the existing apartheid structure would still produce almost the same outcomes. Probably at a lower intensity and a bit less brazenly, yes, but it’s systemic at this point.
