Rachel Corrie, 1979-2003 (she died 22 years ago today)

Rachel, an American #peace #activist, was killed when Israeli soldiers crushed her with a #bulldozer

She was trying to prevent the demolition of a Palestinian family's home in #rRafah by Israeli occupation forces, before they left Gaza abd turned it into a giant concentration camp.

“The moral component of history, the most necessary component, is simply a single question, asked over and over again: When it mattered, who sided with justice and who sided with power? What makes moments such as this one so dangerous, so clarifying, is that one way or another everyone is forced to answer.” from One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This by Omar El Akkad #books #literature #gaza #genocide #occupation #palestine

Since #Israel signed the #Gaza ceasefire deal on 19 January 2025 and added offensive action in the West Bank to its official “war objectives”, the military has escalated its invasions of cities and villages across the #WestBank. According to #UNRWA, this has led to the displacement of about 40,000 #Palestinians from their home. According to the Israeli Minister of Defense, they will not be allowed to return for a least a year – raising concern that the situation may become permanent.

While Europan attention is on Ukraine, let us not forget this:
About two minors a week have been killed this year in the #WestBank .

This nees piece reconstructs the last moments of a Palestinian child in #Hebron, apparently shot by Israeli soldiers, and how the #occupation is deadly.

Even without the war on #Gaza, it was immoral of Finland to buy arms from Israel. With Gaza, it was even more so. Finland should have responded with sanctions.

And even purely selfishly, this kind of hypocrisy hurts us too. How can we call for a rule-based international order, when we buy arms from countries breaking those rules?

#Ukraine holding elections is one of #Russia’s key demands, as #Putin believes that a new Ukrainian govt would be much more pliable or amenable to Moscow’s wishes. [+ parts of Ukraine are currently under Russian #occupation]

In May 2024, Putin said that #Zelensky’s term had expired & that Ukraine needed to hold an election, a claim that has been repeated numerous times to question Zelensky’s legitimacy as a leader.

#Ceasefire? Not in the West Bank
Tonight, dozens of settlers are attacking Palestinian villages across the #WestBank.
In the village of Sinjil – Settlers set fire to two homes and at least four vehicles.
In the village of Ein Siniya – Settlers attacked and set fire to homes.
In Turmusaya – Dozens of settlers attacked and caused damage to property.
On Route 60 near a-Lubban a-Sharqiyah – Settlers hurled stones at vehicles.

Surely the #Israelis will violate their signature and break whatever #ceasefire is finally signed. It is now their nature to not keep ceasefires, see #Lebanon.
The point is that the western #media for so many months have been telling us the Zionist narrative of a sweeping victory for the entity and on the ground all we see is civilian massacres and destruction of #Gaza 's infrastructure. The draft ceasefire that has been leaked to the media says what the #US proposed deal was in May. So, it took the #Zionist entity another 8 months to accept that none of its originally stated goals CAN NOT BE ACHIEVED because of the strength of the Palestinian #Resistance and the steadfastness and support of the #Palestinian people for the idea of liberation from #occupation.
The villains will break the ceasefire but they are already defeated.
