Falk: Israel used Oct 7 attack as a pretext for its plan to expel Palestinians

Indications are that Israel used the October 7 attack as a pretext for the preexisting master plan to get rid of the Palestinians whose presence blocks the establishment of Greater Israel with sovereign control over the West Bank and at least portions of Gaza… Hamas had publicly and by back channels pushed for a 50-year cease-fire with Israel

Israel has killed more than 3,000 people in Gaza so far this month – Day 107

Hamas resistance releases report; large numbers of refugees, babies at risk; more support for Palestinian sovereignty; news on Houthis and shipping; CAIR demands action; Israel withholds money due Palestinian Authority; West Bank home demolitions, and more

Israel was one of the world’s leading jailers of journalists in 2023 – Day 104

Israel kills yet another journalist, destroys yet another university; Bosnian genocide survivors take up Gaza cause at ICJ; communication still down in Gaza after almost a week; deadly raids in West Bank kill 11; calls to ban Israel from the Olympics; Houthis’ message goes unheard by US; Ben Gvir declares open season on Palestinian “terrorists”; Biden, Netanyahu can’t agree on a Gaza plan; and more

Israeli communities near Gaza are on stolen land, former owners consigned to the Gaza ghetto

The Israeli kibbutz settlements surrounding Gaza are built on stolen land. 80% of Gaza’s population are families Israel violently expelled, caged in one small corner of their original lands for 75 years. Residents of these Israeli towns have been able to prosper, swim in pools, dance, sing & celebrate “unity and love” just a few kilometers away from where over 2.1 million people live, usurped from their lands, subjugated to daily humiliation, purposely impoverished and caged in, unable to move, live, fish in the sea, and certainly unable to celebrate “unity and love.”
