📣 Hört zu, wie Recht Özlem Demirel hat, und wie frech die Moderatorin dazwischenschaltet immer wenn es gerade ankommt, was klar und deutlich ausgesprochen werden muss.

… Die unzählige Völkerrechtsbrüche von Israel, zum Beispiel.

Die Tatsache allein, solche Stimme bei #Deutschlandfunk in der Hauptsendezeit ausgestrahlt wird, macht doch Mut. ✊

The administration argued that he had contributed to the spread of antisemitism through his role in the protests at the university.

But Mr. Khalil, a Palestinian born in a Syrian refugee camp, rejected the idea that protesting against Israel is inherently antisemitic.

“I was not doing anything antisemitic,” he said. “I was literally advocating for the right of my people. I was literally advocating for an end of a genocide. I was advocating that the tuition fees that I and other students pay don’t go toward investing in weapons manufacturers. What’s antisemitic about this?”

>> Endlich! Nach fast zwei Jahren Krieg in Gaza waren in #Berlin am Samstag Zehntausende auf der Straße. Die Angaben variieren: Die Polizei spricht von 12 000, die Organisator*innen von bis zu 50 000 Menschen, die gegen die Hungerblockade und die deutsche Mitverantwortung an Israels Krieg auf die Straße gingen. Zwar wird sich die Merz-Regierung davon unbeeindruckt zeigen. Doch immerhin formiert sich sichtbarer Protest. Das ist auch deshalb entscheidend, weil Deutschland der zweitwichtigste Unterstützer Israels ist und tatsächlich etwas bewirken könnten.

>> In der Springer-Presse wird den Demonstrierenden wieder einmal Antisemitismus nachgesagt. Doch das darf nicht überraschen...

At least 140 people were killed in Israeli attacks in Gaza over the past 24 hours as the confrontation between Israel and Iran teetered on the precipice of an even more dangerous conflagration.

Among those killed were people attempting to access aid being brought in by UN trucks in central Gaza.

Around 400 people have been killed while attempting to reach aid since the so-called Gaza Humanitarian Foundation began distributing food on 27 May, and more than 3,000 injured, according to authorities in Gaza.

More than 55,600 people have been killed in Gaza and nearly 130,000 injured since Israel’s military assault began in October 2023, according to the Palestinian health ministry in the territory. More than 5,330 people have been killed and nearly 18,000 injured since Israel broke a two-month-old ceasefire on 18 March.

The UN human rights office called on the Israeli military “to immediately cease its use of lethal force around food distribution points in Gaza, following repeated instances of shooting and killing of Palestinians seeking to access food there.”

Palestine Action to be banned after RAF base break in (BBC, 2025-06-20)

>> The home secretary will move to proscribe the Palestine Action group in the coming weeks, effectively branding them as a terrorist organisation, the BBC understands.

>> The decision comes as a security review begins at military bases across the UK, after pro-Palestinian activists broke into RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire and sprayed two military planes with red paint.

>> A spokesperson for Palestine Action said: "When our government fails to uphold their moral and legal obligations, it is the responsibility of ordinary citizens to take direct action."

>> Under UK law, the home secretary has the power to proscribe an organisation under the Terrorism Act 2000 if they believe it is "concerned with terrorism".

>> But Amnesty International UK said it was "deeply concerned at the use of counter terrorism powers to target protest groups."

Zionist propagandists are trying to downplay the ability of Iranian drones to operate now that air defense is depleted

If they think the Americans can solve this, they must be listening to the Ukrainians. Makes sense Oryx is back...

Right into my veins please

I legitimately punch “Celtic fans Palestine” into Google images to make myself feel better every so often. Of course they know what’s happening, everyone knows what’s happening, but they use their visibility for the greater good. Even if they get in trouble over it every time.

Mr. Khalil, a Columbia graduate, had been held in Louisiana for over three months as the Trump administration sought to deport him. A judge found reason to believe it was retaliation for his pro-Palestinian speech.

By Jonah E. Bromwich
June 20, 2025

"On Friday, Judge Farbiarz rebuked the government mildly, noting that it had offered no evidence to suggest that Mr. Khalil was a danger to his community. The administration’s claims about his links to, or even sympathies for, Hamas have not been substantiated in court.

“He is not a danger to the community, period, full stop,” the judge said."

VIDEO: With Israeli air defense disrupted, individual Iranian drones can operate freely

Iran can launch the same kind of air war that Russia has launched against Ukraine, hitting water and electricity infrastructure on the cheap. Zionists will attempt to hide this so they can kill more civilians.

if the truth is biased against your principles, then your principles are wrong.

Culture Minister Miki Zohar declared on social media that “only the scum of the earth fires missiles at hospitalized children and elderly people in their sick beds”. The chair of Israel’s medical association, Zion Hagay, decried the strike as a war crime and urged the international medical community to condemn it.

This swift and unified condemnation by Israeli political and medical leadership underscores a striking contradiction: these same actors not only ignored but openly justified the destruction of Gaza’s hospitals over the past two years.

Israeli officials frame these hospitals as military targets and Hamas “shields”. Shifa, the largest hospital in Gaza, was placed under siege and then invaded, with the attack hailed by Israeli media as a victory.

Meanwhile, the Israeli Medical Association remained silent. In one of its rare statements after a year and a half of Israel’s repeated and targeted attacks on hospitals and civilian infrastructure, the association echoed the state’s narrative, stating that health facilities and personnel must not be targeted “unless these are being used as a base for terrorist activities”.

This moment puts the international system to the test. While some medical and humanitarian groups have expressed concern, most international stakeholders have remained silent in the face of the destruction of Gaza’s entire health system.

Will medical journals, international associations and UN bodies respond to the attack on an Israeli hospital with the kind of swift condemnation and concrete actions they failed to take when hospitals in Gaza were bombed? The world should have acted when the first operating room was hit in Gaza. It should not take an Israeli facility being targeted for them to remember that hospitals are meant to be protected spaces.

If an attack on a hospital is a red line, this must be true for all hospitals, not just those serving Israelis. If international law is to mean anything, it must protect everyone, with the same standards applied to every violation. Anything less is not only hypocrisy; it is complicity.

Why is Israel killing so many Palestinians seeking food in Gaza?
Desperate Palestinians have faced a barrage of attacks by Israeli forces at food sites.
At least 70 Palestinians were killed in a single day this week at a food distribution site run by a controversial group in Khan Younis that is backed by #Israel and the United States.

"The poll also found that nearly two thirds of Britons (65 percent) want the UK to implement the International Criminal Court’s arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he were to visit the UK."

According to the NGOs, the findings show “growing public pressure for legal accountability and a decisive government response”.

In this News Brief, we are joined by Ashley Bohrer and Ben Teller of Jewish Voice for Peace Chicago to discuss media indifference to the US and Israel-imposed starvation of Palestinians, how sectarianism is central to the ADL's strategy, and why six JVP activists have decided to hunger strike to draw more attention to the Israeli and US-made famine in Gaza.

Why Germany’s “Paradigm Shift” on Israel Is a Lie - Hanno Hauenstein (2025-06-21)

https://hannohauenstein.substack.com/p/germanys-paradigm-shift-on-israel

>> … in recent weeks, cracks have begun to appear in what long seemed like an unshakable German consensus on Israel.

>> … the fact that some politicians recently distanced themselves from Israel’s actions doesn’t suggest a real shift in foreign policy – rather a shift in discourse...

>> Germany’s current position might best be described as a new pragmatism – one that can no longer sustain total silence or unconditional support for Israel’s genocide, … yet still refuses to translate even its most timid and belated criticisms into real consequences...

>> Anyone who claims to take #Germany’s historical responsibility seriously cannot dismiss the systematic displacement and mass killing of … Palestinians in Gaza, the annexation of the West Bank, or the deaths of civilians in Tehran as unfortunate necessities.
