Palästina-Demo in Berlin: Gemeinsam gegen den Krieg | nd-aktuell.de (2025-06-22)

>> Endlich! Nach fast zwei Jahren Krieg in Gaza waren in #Berlin am Samstag Zehntausende auf der Straße. Die Angaben variieren: Die Polizei spricht von 12 000, die Organisator*innen von bis zu 50 000 Menschen, die gegen die Hungerblockade und die deutsche Mitverantwortung an Israels Krieg auf die Straße gingen. Zwar wird sich die Merz-Regierung davon unbeeindruckt zeigen. Doch immerhin formiert sich sichtbarer Protest. Das ist auch deshalb entscheidend, weil Deutschland der zweitwichtigste Unterstützer Israels ist und tatsächlich etwas bewirken könnten.

>> In der Springer-Presse wird den Demonstrierenden wieder einmal Antisemitismus nachgesagt. Doch das darf nicht überraschen...

Palestine Action to be banned after RAF base break in (BBC, 2025-06-20)

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cn81g4e0nlyo
------

>> The home secretary will move to proscribe the Palestine Action group in the coming weeks, effectively branding them as a terrorist organisation, the BBC understands.

>> The decision comes as a security review begins at military bases across the UK, after pro-Palestinian activists broke into RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire and sprayed two military planes with red paint.

>> A spokesperson for Palestine Action said: "When our government fails to uphold their moral and legal obligations, it is the responsibility of ordinary citizens to take direct action."

>> Under UK law, the home secretary has the power to proscribe an organisation under the Terrorism Act 2000 if they believe it is "concerned with terrorism".

>> But Amnesty International UK said it was "deeply concerned at the use of counter terrorism powers to target protest groups."

Why Germany’s “Paradigm Shift” on Israel Is a Lie - Hanno Hauenstein (2025-06-21)

https://hannohauenstein.substack.com/p/germanys-paradigm-shift-on-israel
———

>> … in recent weeks, cracks have begun to appear in what long seemed like an unshakable German consensus on Israel.

>> … the fact that some politicians recently distanced themselves from Israel’s actions doesn’t suggest a real shift in foreign policy – rather a shift in discourse...

>> Germany’s current position might best be described as a new pragmatism – one that can no longer sustain total silence or unconditional support for Israel’s genocide, … yet still refuses to translate even its most timid and belated criticisms into real consequences...

>> Anyone who claims to take #Germany’s historical responsibility seriously cannot dismiss the systematic displacement and mass killing of … Palestinians in Gaza, the annexation of the West Bank, or the deaths of civilians in Tehran as unfortunate necessities.

>> Organizers of a land convoy seeking to break the Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip have reportedly announced their decision to cancel the convoy’s journey after authorities in eastern Libya refused to allow them to cross into Egypt.

>> In a statement on its Facebook page, the group said: “We have been informed by the Libyan authorities that the Egyptian authorities have rejected the licenses requests that we sent to the Egyptian Embassy in Tunisia through all possible legal and diplomatic channels.”

>> “We decided to return to Tunisia and look for other ways to lift the siege” in Gaza, the statement added.

>> ... the convoy “is peaceful and will remain peaceful and we will remain on the spot peacefully waiting” for the release of the detained participants.

>> The valedictorian at a west #Ottawa high school says she's been told not to come to school Monday after she made pro-Palestinian remarks during a speech at her commencement ceremony.

>> Her comments on the war in Gaza came at the end...

>> "As a commitment to truth and reconciliation, I must acknowledge colonial and genocidal atrocities today, including the massacre of more than 17,000 Palestinian children in Gaza," ... the crowd cheered.

>> The next day, ... a call from her principal, who said her statements had "caused harm" and told her she shouldn't come to school on Monday.

>> That decision is being criticized by some as going against Ottawa-Carleton District School Board (#OCDSB) policy, and Yao said she stands by her speech.

>> When Gaza's internet flickered back to life after a three-day telecommunications blackout, the first images people saw … of missiles lighting up the sky over Israel…

>> On top of all the contradicting emotions came a sobering realization: This war was not Gaza's. While missiles crossed multiple regional borders, Gaza remained trapped. Aid was still blocked and Israeli airstrikes continued to rain down.

>> As global attention pivoted toward Tehran, Gaza continued to pay a heavy price. In the 48 hours following Israel's initial strike on Iran, the number of Palestinians killed in the Strip exceeded the combined death toll in both #Iran and Israel.

“… This bill would end Ireland’s trade with illegal Israeli settlements, and would be a historic step towards justice if passed. However, despite pledges of support from all major Irish political parties, the Occupied Territories Bill is now in danger of being delayed, watered down or even scrapped.”
