After Denying Massacring Civilians Seeking Aid, Israel Routinely Massacres Civilians Seeking Aid (Caitlin’s Newsletter, 2025-06-11)

———

>> Since May 27, some 160 people have reportedly been killed in massacres at these #GHF sites, which people in Gaza are reportedly beginning to refer to as a “death trap”.

>> But, again, … Israel and its spinmeisters were crying antisemitic blood libel at the very suggestion that #IDF troops would fire upon people trying to obtain food.

>> Even without the CNN report [https://edition.cnn.com/2025/06/04/middleeast/israel-military-gaza-aid-shooting-intl-invs], Israel’s own actions since June 1 have proved that Israeli forces do indeed deliberately fire upon starving civilians seeking humanitarian aid. Israel lied. Again.

>> … They’ve been caught lying so many times that there is no reason to take any of their denials seriously.

>> Speaking upon arrival in Paris en route to her home country of Sweden, Thunberg called for the release of the other activists who were detained aboard the Madleen...

>> ...The activists were held separately and some had trouble accessing lawyers, she added.

>> Asked why she agreed to deportation, she said, “Why would I want to stay in an Israeli prison more than necessary?”

>> Thunberg called on supporters to ask their governments “to demand not only humanitarian aid being let into Gaza but most importantly an end to the occupation and an end to the systemic oppression and violence that Palestinians are facing on an everyday basis.”..

Greenpeace calls for international action to release the Madleen aid vessel - Greenpeace International (2025-06-09)

https://www.greenpeace.org/international/press-release/75331/greenpeace-calls-for-international-action-to-release-the-madleen-aid-vessel/

>> #Greenpeace demands:

• An immediate, unconditional and permanent ceasefire to halt the assault on civilians and the environment.
• The release by Hamas of all hostages.
• The release by Israel of all illegally detained Palestinians.
• The imposition of targeted sanctions and a comprehensive arms embargo, enforced by the international community.
• The unhindered delivery of aid by the UN and other humanitarian organisations.
• An end to the illegal occupation of Palestine.

>> If the international community continues to stand-by without taking concrete action as ethnic cleansing, war crimes and crimes against humanity mount, it will have to answer for aiding and abetting a genocide. The time to act is now!

>> International law also strongly protects the freedom of navigation, particularly in international waters ...

>> There are only a few exceptions when a country can lawfully stop a foreign ship in international waters ...

>> international humanitarian law, … protects civilians during conflict. This protection extends to people delivering humanitarian aid, so long as they do not directly take part in hostilities.

>> Bringing aid to civilians, even if politically controversial, does not meet this legal threshold [to be considered directly participating in hostilities]. As a result, the #Madleen’s passengers remain protected civilians and should not be treated as combatants or detained arbitrarily…

Conference to recognise Palestinian state to weaken scope of its ambition, diplomats say | Palestinian territories | The Guardian (2025-06-07)

>> UK, France and other western states will not recognise Palestine at New York meeting, instead focusing on agreeing steps towards it

>> A planned conference in New York this month that supporters of Palestine had hoped would push western governments to recognise a Palestinian state has weakened its ambition and will instead hope to agree on steps towards recognition, diplomats have said.

>> The change to the aims of the conference, due to be held between 17 and 20 June, marks a retreat from an earlier vision that it would mark a joint declaration of recognition of Palestine as a state by a large group of countries, including permanent UN security council members France and the UK.

A report from #Haifa, "a mixed Jewish-Palestinian city". Do click ⬆️ and read the whole article.

>> Last Saturday, I joined thousands in the streets to protest the genocide. But the ensuing backlash has made me question whether I'm welcome in my own city.

>> I would like to start with a confession: this was the first time I joined a demonstration against Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza...

>> The demonstration was organized by the Peace Partnership, a broad coalition of dozens of organizations and political parties ...

>> The backbone of this coalition is the Democratic Front for Peace and Equality (Hadash/Al-Jabha), the only Arab-Jewish party in Israel, though the vast majority of its members and voters are Palestinian citizens of Israel.
