“Our work is not over. Gazans are returning to a devastated land. Entire neighborhoods are rubble on rubble. Local cell towers will take months to repair, meaning people will continue to rely on eSIMs for wifi and service…”

“The genocide in Gaza is far from over, it has – as Bisan Owda and many others point out – simply slowed down. Until the local Internet infrastructure is safely restored, we will keep our eSIMs active and send new ones when we have the funds to do so.

“As Palestinian writer Jehad Abusalim observes, ‘The real fight…doesn’t end with a ceasefire.’ It will take years to rebuild Gaza. Now is not the time to abandon the struggle or waver in our solidarity.”

“Yes, Israel’s bombs have stopped, but the genocide is not over. With a destroyed and collapsed healthcare system, we will continue to see more Palestinians die, as they are unable to get the treatment necessary to be able to survive the devastation that Israel (with no US bombs and help, of course) meted out against them.”

“… Israeli leaders made it clear throughout their bombing campaign that they intended to make Gaza unlivable…”

“… a growing number of Israeli soldiers speaking out against the 15-month conflict and refusing to serve anymore, saying they saw or did things that crossed ethical lines. While the movement is small — some 200 soldiers signed a letter saying they’d stop fighting if the government didn't secure a ceasefire — soldiers say it’s the tip of the iceberg and they want others to come forward.”

“Seven soldiers who've refused to continue fighting in Gaza spoke with AP, describing how Palestinians were indiscriminately killed and houses destroyed…”

“Ever since the beginning of Israel’s assault on Gaza in October 2023, Palestinians in the occupied West Bank have been suffering from an acute unemployment crisis. In the first six months of the war, the unemployment rate nearly tripled, with over 300,000 workers losing their main source of income.”

“Historically, our community subsisted on shepherding and agricultural farming. But over the years, the expansion of the Jewish settlement … and violence from Israeli settlers and soldiers have rendered the vast majority of our land inaccessible. Forced to find alternative sources of income, many young men in the community began working as laborers inside Israel…”

"Today the UN has shamed itself, violated its human rights mission, & dishonored the memory of millions of victims of the Holocaust. In an event that was supposed to commemorate the genocide of European Jews & the principle of “never again”, it honored & platformed a perpetrator of genocide, Isaac Herzog, president of the Israeli regime, & allowed him, unchallenged, to spout lies, racism and genocide propaganda, (as well as propaganda for war with Iran). If the UN does not get up from its knees, speak truth to power, and challenge the genocidal apartheid regime, its sponsors & proxies, & hold them to account for their serial criminality, it will almost certainly go the way of the League of Nations. Never again means never again for anyone. #ArrestHerzog"

"We mourn the tragic loss of our colleagues who have been killed since the start of the war in Gaza in October 2023. We are outraged that many of these people were killed while providing care for patients or sheltering with their families. We remain deeply concerned for the safety of all our staff members and patients in Gaza, Palestine.

"We denounce the repeated attacks on health workers and medical facilities by Israeli forces, which made it nearly impossible for us to continue to provide lifesaving humanitarian assistance. While a temporary ceasefire is in place, a permanent and sustained ceasefire remains the only solution to ease the suffering of Palestinians."

“The four women released by Hamas on Saturday … are ‘spotters’ for the army who were stationed in a small military base about a half-mile from the border.”

“In the months leading up to the assault, [a former lookout] Ms. Yerushalmi … said, there were growing signs of something afoot. … the spotters saw convoys of 20 to 30 white pickup trucks filled with Hamas fighters driving along the border with increasing frequency, stopping occasionally and peering into Israel through binoculars. They would also put up drones a few times a day…”

“The spotters reported the activity, she and several relatives of the other lookouts said, but were told by their superiors that their job was to be the eyes, not the brains, of the Israeli military. Their reports, they said, appeared to have been dismissed.”

"... On October 13th, ... the historian Raz Segal, director of the program of Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Stockton University in New Jersey, wrote in a widely shared article in this magazine, 'A Textbook Case of Genocide,'..."

"And yet, amid this ever-worsening assault, many of the scholars and institutions that had issued or signed statements condemning Hamas after October 7th stayed silent.... Little changed even after Amnesty International published a landmark report ... in December 2024. For Nimer Sultany [SOAS] ..., this silence pointed to a glaring double standard..."

“The State Department ordered a sweeping freeze Friday on new funding for almost all U.S. foreign assistance, making exceptions for emergency food programs and military aid to Israel and Egypt.”

“Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s order, delivered in a cable sent to U.S. embassies worldwide, specifically exempted emergency food programs, such as those helping to feed millions in a widening famine in warring Sudan.”

“While Rubio’s order exempted military assistance to allies Israel and Egypt from the freeze, there was no indication of a similar waiver to allow vital U.S. military assistance to Ukraine through.”

"My name is Mosab Abu Toha and I’m a Palestinian poet and writer from Gaza.
Today morning with a heavy heart I received the news of the destruction of the Edward Said Public Library in Beit Lahia, north Gaza. The news and pictures came through just three days after Gazans were allowed to return to north Gaza.
Starting 2016, I started collecting books from around the world to build Gaza’s first English language library. With the endorsement and support of authors and intellectuals around the world, I raised the needed funds to open the library in the summer of 2017.

… 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.

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. …

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.

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.
