At this point these ceasefire negotiations feel more like hasbara than actual attempts to stop the killing.

Yeah, he was consistently confused and enraged by Osvaldo's antics, going as far as to threatening legal action against not just him, but everyone who liked his tweets 😄

Thanks to Osvaldo, I will never not associate Dangote with being Africa's biggest snowflake and also easily confused 😄

How does that even "bring the institution into disrepute"?

Reasonable people (read: anti-zionists and neutral non-zionists) would argue the exact opposite.

Alas, a lifetime of pro apartheid propaganda (as in "in favor of apartheid" AND "professional apartheid apologists ") is a hell of a drug..

Good luck living through the ever-increasing frackquakes..

Doing military sabotage in european countries will not help the palestinian cause.

Yeah, because who ever heard of direct action against apartheid enablers achieving results where Liberals performatively frowning while upholding the status quo didn't? 🙄

That will cause a totally justified crackdown

Evidently, you have a fucked up definition of "totally justified"

no government in the world can and will tolerate radical militants who are sabotaging it's own military in times of global crisis

But the citizens of the world is supposed to meekly tolerate their governments participating in a fascist apartheid regime committing the worst campaign of genocide the world has seen for decades?

Sounds like you have some very authoritarian priorities of what's right and tolerable.

I'm also not sure if such acts really are helpful at disproving the popular resentment that all palestinians are radical islamists, terrorists or in bed with hamas.

Big "the protesters should be confined to a corner where they can't inconvenience anyone" concern trolling energy.

Nobody who's arguing in good faith and reachable by logic would think that "all palestinians are radical islamists, terrorists or in bed with hamas."

Only bigots, brainwashed victims of disinformation campaigns, and combinations of both think ANYTHING like that, and modeling your resistance on their potential opinions is a way to guarantee that nothing changes for the better.

It's definitely both.

The West is a geopolitical, financial military and cultural conglomeration of the world's richest countries, not a race.

And yes, Israel very much IS an example of Western colonialism. That's what it's been from the start and it'll never not be.

It's an apartheid ethnostate by design. Doesn't get much more Western Colonialism than that.

Don't they already? Israel and the US sure do..

Unfortunately Labour hasn't said anything clear about their plans other than "we want to make it better"

Blairites and vague platitudes in place of concrete policy, name a more iconic duo.

It was not immediately clear when aid would enter Gaza, or how. The Israeli military body in charge of overseeing aid did not comment

So yeah.. I'll believe it when it actually happens rather than trust the word of the government that has been blatantly lying about it and related topics since its inception nearly 80 years ago.

They've been doing it for decades.

The likely reason why there's been a dearth of protesting lately is that the UK government (under both conservative and Labour leadership) has been criminalizing it to the point that you risk being thrown in jail for causing any inconvenience in the process of decrying the most heinous crimes against humanity.

In their defence, there is no defined point

Where something is considered genocide? That's simply not true.

>any of the following acts committed with [intent to destroy](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genocidal_intent "Genocidal intent"), [in whole or in part](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genocide#%22In_whole_or_in_part%22 "Genocide"), a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

>

* (a) Killing members of the group;

* (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;

* (c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;

* (d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;

* (e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

The three MPs will not receive their salaries during the suspension and **will not be present during next week’s annual budget debate.**

There we have it. They're making sure that Maori people won't have representation when taking away their rights is debated again.
