oatmeal<p>Quoting an anonymous commenter:</p><p>Israel is now fully controlled by the fascist right. Under its leadership, the state commits daily acts of mass killing that would not shame even the Nazis. Since October 7, Illouz, who has had access to all public platforms for years, has done nothing to stand against fascism and alongside its Palestinian and Jewish victims. On the contrary. She used her public position to voice her lament of "disillusionment." And even when the air came out of this inflated balloon, and the blood of tens of thousands of murdered Palestinians continued to cry out from the ground, Illouz paid no attention to it and continued to play the victim under the new patriotic cloak she had adopted.</p><p>If Eva Illouz had received the prize from the state, it would have been an indelible mark of disgrace. But as luck would have it, sweetness came from bitterness. The "Minister of Education" - a pathetic figure like no other who, if he weren't also dangerous, one could say isn't worth spitting on - found a flaw in her candidacy and provided her with an opportunity for a comeback. Now she is suddenly a human and civil rights fighter, a representative of light standing against the forces of darkness.</p><p>There is no reason to embrace Prof. Illouz now. In the most difficult hour, when it was necessary to be "a woman" "in a place where there are no people," or at least try to be, she proved that she has no moral or intellectual backbone.</p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/palestine" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>palestine</span></a></span> <br><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/israel" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>israel</span></a></span> <br><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/academicchatter" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>academicchatter</span></a></span> <br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GazaGenoicde" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GazaGenoicde</span></a> <br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IsraelWarCrimes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IsraelWarCrimes</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/evaillouz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>evaillouz</span></a></p>

oatmeal<p>Quoting Stephen Kapos on the duty to stand against injustice:</p><p>[...] I say this as a Holocaust Survivor that the genocide in Gaza, is not happening in my name and in our name. The way that the Israeli government is using the memory of the Holocaust in order to justify what they're doing to the Gazans is a complete insult to the memory of the Holocaust it's an outrage. When I saw the Israeli ambassador to the United Nations putting on a yellow star it was stomach turning. Somebody who had to wear a yellow star like myself and my entire family I'm insulted by that.</p><p>[...] What distinguishes the Jewish Holocaust is its industrial scale and industrial methods being applied. And what has been happening to Gaza is similar in that the scale of the bombing and the indiscriminate nature of the bombing the complete lack of care about children and women being the majority of the victims amounts to Industrial scale of genocide.</p><p>[...] Some of the actions of the Nazi state in dehumanising and completely cruel large scale killings etc, if it is repeated I don't see why you couldn't make the parallel it can only be helpful in understanding what's going on to make the parallel I don't think there should be any taboo against that.</p><p>[...] I felt it completely incomprehensible really how you can do anything but totally condemn quite clear genocide and anybody who doesn't do that it will be Revisited on him or her to to look back on to be on the wrong side of history and and seriously guilty and that goes for the UK government to Keir Stramer and the shadow cabinet and some of the church leaders, the chief rabbi completely identifies with Israel and Zionism. </p><p>[...] I think it's important to stand up against this conflation that is propagated between Jewishness and Zionism if you do not stand up and criticize it and divorce yourself from it, then it sort of besmirches all Jews basically...</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxLtxX7kPcU" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=AxLtxX7kPc</span><span class="invisible">U</span></a></p><p>H/t <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://infosec.exchange/@ErikvanStraten" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>ErikvanStraten</span></a></span> </p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/palestine" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>palestine</span></a></span> <br><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/israel" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>israel</span></a></span> <br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GazaGenoicde" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GazaGenoicde</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Zionism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Zionism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Nakba" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Nakba</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Holocaust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Holocaust</span></a></p><p>* Edit: typo</p>
oatmeal<p>[followup] Israeli emigration surged in 2024 as population growth slows </p><p>In 2024, Israel experienced a significant increase in emigration, with approximately 83,000 people leaving the country, according to the Central Bureau of Statistics. This contrasts with the roughly 24,000 Israelis who returned from abroad and the 33,000 new immigrants who arrived. </p><p>The overall population growth slowed to 1.1%, down from 1.6% in 2023, with a net loss of 18,000 residents due to migration, compared to a gain of 25,000 the previous year. </p><p>Despite the negative migration, the population still grew by 112,000 due to a natural increase of 130,000, resulting from 181,000 births and 51,500 deaths. </p><p>The population is now just over 10 million, with 76.9% identifying as Jewish or "other," 21% as Arab, and 2.1% as foreigners. </p><p><a href="https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2024-12-31/ty-article/.premium/israels-population-growth-slows-as-emigration-soars-with-83-000-leaving-in-2024/00000194-1cf3-db03-a1f6-1cfb5dcf0000" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">haaretz.com/israel-news/2024-1</span><span class="invisible">2-31/ty-article/.premium/israels-population-growth-slows-as-emigration-soars-with-83-000-leaving-in-2024/00000194-1cf3-db03-a1f6-1cfb5dcf0000</span></a> or <a href="https://archive.ph/2heCD" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">archive.ph/2heCD</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> </p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/israel" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>israel</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/palestine" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>palestine</span></a></span> <br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GazaGenoicde" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GazaGenoicde</span></a> <br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IsraelOccupation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IsraelOccupation</span></a> <br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IsraelWarCrimes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IsraelWarCrimes</span></a></p>

The city has been subjected to relentless bombardment aimed at forcing Palestinians out, with estimates of 65,000-80,000 people still trapped there. Residents report seeing dogs devouring bodies, wounded people bleeding to death without aid, and survivors drinking unclean water while sheltering in damaged buildings "on the verge of collapsing." </p><p>[…] “The situation in northern Gaza, specifically in Beit Lahiya, is extremely catastrophic,” Basal stressed, adding that Israel is dropping large missiles on residential buildings “without prior warning and with residents still inside.” He and his staff, he said, “are working in extremely difficult conditions due to the Israeli targeting of our teams. We have no equipment. We search for those trapped and pull victims from under the rubble using primitive methods.”</p><p>Despite Israel's claims of facilitating humanitarian aid, witnesses describe a military blockade with snipers preventing food and medical supplies from entering, while drones and armored vehicles continue systematic destruction of residential areas. Multiple mass-casualty strikes have killed hundreds, including large numbers of children.</p><p><a href="https://www.972mag.com/beit-lahiya-gaza-rubble-corpses/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">972mag.com/beit-lahiya-gaza-ru</span><span class="invisible">bble-corpses/</span></a></p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/palestine" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>palestine</span></a></span> <br><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/israel" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>israel</span></a></span> <br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IsraelWarCrimes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IsraelWarCrimes</span></a> <br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IsraelOccupation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IsraelOccupation</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Israel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Israel</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GazaGenoicde" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GazaGenoicde</span></a></p>
oatmeal<p>Quoting Moshe Ya'alon (Former IDF Chief of Staff and Defense Minister): "We're being dragged into occupation, annexation, ethnic cleansing. Look at northern Gaza. Transfer - call it what you want. And settlement, Jewish settlement, that's the issue."</p><p>Ya'alon stated in an interview with Lucy Aharish on Democrat TV that Israel is being dragged into ethnic cleansing in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Gaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gaza</span></a>. Speaking about the current situation, Ya'alon explicitly described the systematic emptying of northern Gaza's Palestinian population, stating "there is no Beit Lahia, no Beit Hanoun, they're operating in Jabalia, and essentially clearing the area of Arabs." </p><p>He emphasized that this is being done to establish Jewish settlements, adding that according to polls, two-thirds of Israeli society supports both a liberal Jewish state and separation from Palestinians. Ya'alon warned that "whoever is trying to confuse us is leading us to nothing less than destruction."</p><p>Hebrew <a href="https://xcancel.com/Democrat_TV/status/1862819207370400241" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">xcancel.com/Democrat_TV/status</span><span class="invisible">/1862819207370400241</span></a></p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/israel" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>israel</span></a></span> <br><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/palestine" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>palestine</span></a></span> <br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IsraelWarCrimes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IsraelWarCrimes</span></a> <br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IsraelOccupation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IsraelOccupation</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GazaGenoicde" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GazaGenoicde</span></a></p>
