Schlecht gespielte Wut: Vorwürfe an Özoğuz (junge Welt, 2024-10-23)

“Bundestagsvizepräsidentin Aydan Özoğuz (SPD) … soll sich nach Ansicht der üblichen Ankläger des Antisemitismus und des Israel-Hasses schuldig gemacht haben, auf die als Mindeststrafe der Rücktritt stehen sollte. Der ihr angelastete Fauxpas: Sie hatte am vorigen Mittwoch einen Post der US-amerikanischen Gruppe »Jewish Voice for Peace« auf Instagram geteilt, also billigend weiterverbreitet. Zu sehen war eine Flammenwand mit dem Text »This is Zionism«. Entstanden war die Aufnahme am Montag voriger Woche bei einem israelischen Luftangriff auf ein Zeltlager von Flüchtlingen im Gazastreifen, durch den vier Menschen lebend verbrannten und Dutzende andere Verletzungen, zum Teil Verbrennungen von 60 bis 80 Prozent, erlitten…”

BWAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

I love the comments at this point because they're clearly incensed and I love it.

Summary by Brave AI :

• Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir has called for the "voluntary transfer" of Palestinians out of Gaza.
• Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has previously suggested that not only Gaza, but also parts of Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, and Iraq should become part of a Jewish state.
• Ten of the 32 lawmakers from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud Party are participating in a conference discussing building Jewish settlements in Gaza.
• The Israeli government and Likud Party members have openly discussed their desire to ethnically cleanse Gaza and establish Jewish settlements on the ruins of Palestinian cities.
• Israeli forces have been implementing a plan to forcibly expel all Palestinians from northern Gaza and starve and kill anyone who refuses to leave.
• Over 41,000 Palestinians in Gaza have been killed by Israel in the past year, the majority being women and children.

She Exposed a Prestigious Medical Journal’s Silence on the Holocaust. Now She’s Asking about Gaza:
A historian who exposed the New England Journal of Medicine's silence on Nazi atrocities confronted the journal’s treatment of Gaza during a Harvard symposium. (The Intercept, 2024-10-17)

“Earlier this year, two Harvard medical historians published an article … found that the New England Journal of Medicine, … either chose not to cover the Nazi regime’s racist and antisemitic health policies, mass killings, and medical experimentation, or, in one case, praised the Nazi health care system for its approach to public health.

“The New England Journal of Medicine convened a symposium on Wednesday where the authors, Joelle M. Abi-Rached and Allan M. Brandt, could present their findings — and Abi-Rached took the opportunity to call the journal out for repeating its mistakes today.”

Oxfam condemns killing of water engineers in Gaza
(2024-10-19)

https://www.oxfam.org/node/24899
———

“Oxfam condemns in the strongest terms the killing in Gaza today of four water engineers and workers from the Khuzaa municipality who were working with our strategic partner the Coastal Municipalities Water Utility (CMWU).

“The four men were killed on their way to conduct repairs to water infrastructure in Khuzaa, east of Khan Younis. Despite prior coordination with Israeli authorities their clearly-marked vehicle was bombed...”

“Attacks on civilian infrastructure and those who maintain it are clear violations of international humanitarian law. Those responsible must be held to account. Such attacks are part of the crime of using starvation as a weapon of war.

“Oxfam demands an independent investigation into this and other attacks on essential workers…”

How many more violations should we need? #StopGenocide
