Former Defense Minister Accuses Israel of Committing War Crimes in Gaza (New York Times, 2024-12-01)

“At an event on Saturday, Mr. [Moshe] Yaalon denounced Mr. Netanyahu’s government for its actions in Gaza.

““The path they’re dragging us down is to occupy, annex, and ethnically cleanse — look at the northern strip,’ he said. He also said Israel was being pulled in the direction of building settlements in Gaza…”

“‘I’m speaking in the name of IDF commanders who are operating in the northern strip,’ Mr. Yaalon told the Reshet Bet radio station [on Sunday]. ‘They reached out to me expressing fear about what’s happening there.’

“He later said, in an apparent reference to the government: ‘At the end of the day, they’re perpetrating war crimes’ — while making clear that his issue was not with the soldiers themselves.”

Dutch see options for Netanyahu to visit despite ICC arrest warrant (Reuters, 2024-11-29)

🇳🇱
“Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof on Friday said there could be options for Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to visit the Netherlands without being arrested, despite the International Criminal Court's (#ICC) arrest warrant against him.

“His words seemed to tone down a previous stance by his foreign minister Caspar Veldkamp, who last week in parliament said the Netherlands fully cooperates with the ICC, explaining that meant ‘we act on arrest warrants for people who are on Dutch territory’" 👎

“The Netherlands is also host nation to the ICC, which is located in The Hague.”

"Inger Ashing, Chief Executive of #SaveTheChildren, said:

“The IDF struck a vehicle on Saturday morning containing terrorist and World Central Kitchen (#WCK) employee Ahed Azmi Qudeih, who took part in the murderous October 7 massacre at Kibbutz Nir Oz, the military announced that afternoon.“

“The IDF emphasized that it was a civilian unmarked vehicle, and its movement on the route was not coordinated for transporting aid.“

“The WCK issued a statement saying it is pausing their operations in the Gaza Strip after the incident. They also said they had no knowledge of any individual in the vehicle having alleged ties to the October 7 massacre.”

Nan Goldin Challenges Germany on What Artists Can Say About Israel (NYT, 2024-11-25)

“A speech by the artist at an exhibition of her work was followed by protests from her supporters and an uproar in the news media.”

“Claudia Roth, Germany’s culture minister, said in a statement that she was ‘horrified’ by Goldin’s comments and the protesters’ actions. ‘As commendable as Nan Goldin’s art is, I reject the political activist’s intolerably one-sided views on Israel,’ she said. The demonstrators had ‘come to the museum not to see art, but to shout down the director,’ she added.”

“Others said [director] Biesenbach had only himself to blame. An essay in [crudely conservative] Die Welt newspaper calling for his resignation said that allowing Goldin a platform had brought about ‘the saddest, most undignified and shameful moment’ in the Neue Nationalgalerie’s history …”

Palestinian artists plan Gaza Biennale as ‘act of resistance and survival’ (Guardian, 2024-11-25)

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/nov/25/palestinian-artists-plan-gaza-biennale-as-act-of-resistance-and-survival
------

"Palestinian artists in Gaza plan to stage a “biennale” exhibition as an act of defiance against Israel’s military onslaught and to focus attention on the plight of the territory’s 2.3 million people under more than 13 months of bombardment.

"About 50 artists from Gaza will exhibit their work within the besieged coastal strip, and are looking for art galleries to host exhibitions overseas."

"The name is also a statement of intent that the biennale will be a recurring event and that Gaza and artists will still be standing in two years’ time."

… Our solidarity with Palestinians is already exposing us to police violence, and the antisemitism of those who would force us to be Zionists blends perfectly with the antisemitism of those who would put us in concentration camps.

Instead of uniting society in the fight against all discrimination, any such resolution will divide minorities by focusing only on one. But the present resolution goes much further, demanding that the whole of German society accept the state’s support for Israel and its countless documented crimes, and that those who resist this doctrine of genocide should be punished by all available means, ...

The call of “never again” was meant as a warning against the very crimes being perpetrated by Israel in Palestine, yet this resolution desecrates it by using it for a racist agenda that promotes rather than prevents antisemitism, and harms Jews along with other minorities. It must be opposed in every possible way.

https://juedische-stimme.de/en_US//j%C3%BCdische-organisationen-weltweit-verurteilen-die-bundestagsresolution-zu-antisemitismus

Despite claiming that freedom of speech, art and science must be protected, the resolution paves the way for an even greater stifling of those freedoms than has already been widespread, especially since October 2023. All major parties are now officially in favour of preventing funding for any project challenging the pro-Israel consensus and of silencing, uninviting, dismissing or even deporting anyone associated with such activities. The centrality of such funding gives the state immense powers of censorship, which inevitably lead to increasing self-censorship by those who wish to avoid repression. Given the rightward shift of German society and politics, it will not take long for such tools to fall into the hands of fascists. We already see the far right cynically using philosemitism (itself a racist phenomenon) as a cover for racism, and we know all too well that the people itching to expel Muslims will not hesitate to do the same with Jews…

… The writings by scholars criticizing the definition are too many to mention, and even one of its main authors, Kenneth Stern, has expressed his dismay at the use of the definition to stifle opposition to Israeli policies. Similarly, experts from the legal, cultural and academic fields, have warned against this resolution. And, like the Bundestag’s infamous anti-BDS resolution of 2019, the new one exploits its status as a non-binding statement to make demands that would be blatantly unconstitutional in actual legislation. As the 2019 resolution demonstrated, the repressive obedience found in German institutions is sufficient to turn even a text with no legal force into a de facto law, relying on the chilling effect that accompanies any potential accusation of antisemitism. And while that resolution called for combatting the boycott movement, the present one seeks to outlaw it.

While those most vulnerable to the policies affirmed and demanded in this resolution are migrants of colour and refugees, its cynical weaponization of antisemitism also makes hostages of all Jews, whose safety is used as a pretext for the persecution of other minorities. We reject the conflation of our identity with the settler colonial ideology of Zionism and the genocidal actions of Israel, which we condemn as strongly as do the Palestinians whom it oppresses and destroys, with whom we stand in lasting solidarity. This conflation is antisemitic in itself.

As in past resolutions and declarations, the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s (IHRA) Working Definition of Antisemitism is taken as the gold standard in determining how antisemitism should be understood. …

https://juedische-stimme.de/en_US//j%C3%BCdische-organisationen-weltweit-verurteilen-die-bundestagsresolution-zu-antisemitismus

The resolution reaffirms the approach […] , focusing on opposition to Israel’s crimes as the most important site of antisemitism. This is used to place migrants and refugees, especially Arabs and Muslims, under particular suspicion of antisemitism, along with the sparse elements of the political left that support their rights. It is consistent with this that the parties of the supposed political centre were supported enthusiastically by the fascist AfD (…), a party that has formulated a concrete plan to “remigrate” 2 million migrants from Germany to North Africa and has a higher approval rating than any of the governing parties; it expressed its joy… […] In joining forces with the fascists to support a resolution that calls for stricter immigration and citizenship guidelines based on attitudes towards Israel, all major parliamentary parties have clearly signalled their commitment to mass deportation and increasingly normalized racism.

https://juedische-stimme.de/en_US//j%C3%BCdische-organisationen-weltweit-verurteilen-die-bundestagsresolution-zu-antisemitismus

While paying lip service to “all the facets” of Jewish life, the resolution narrows that life down to one element: the state of Israel. A reminder of Germany’s responsibility after the crimes of the Holocaust is directly followed in the text by a reference to the attack of October 7th 2023 from the Gaza Strip, which resulted from decades of Israel’s dispossession, oppression and murder of Palestinians and triggered a genocidal onslaught that has now lasted for over a year. Germany has been an accomplice in this genocide from the start through unceasing military and political assistance, becoming the second-biggest arms supplier and even promising its support for Israel in the genocide lawsuit initiated by South Africa at the International Court of Justice in The Hague.

[Israeli NGOs warn international community… continued]

“Human rights NGOs based in Israel today called on the international community to take action now to prevent Israel from forcibly transferring hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who have remained in the Northern Gaza Strip outside of the area, including by denying entry of essential humanitarian aid and fuel. The Israeli ceasefire coalition, the groups Gisha, B’Tselem, PHR-I and Yesh Din, said that there are alarming signs that the Israeli military is beginning to quietly implement the Generals’ Plan, also referred to as the Eiland Plan, which calls for complete forcible transfer of the civilians of the northern Gaza Strip through tightening the siege on the area and starving the population.”
