Israel/Palestine Thread

No progress in surrender and be ethnically cleansed lectures in Cairo. The Americans and Zionists must hate Palestine talking back to them!

Efforts to advance a ceasefire agreement in Gaza have suffered a setback following a tense round of negotiations in Cairo involving Palestinian factions, mediators, and international representatives.

According to informed sources cited by Al-Hadaf News and cited by Quds News Network, a meeting on April 13 between Hamas and the envoy of the so-called Peace Council, Nikolay Mladenov, was described as “stormy and tense” and failed to produce any concrete results.

The discussions broke down amid Mladenov’s insistence on securing Palestinian approval for a proposal centered on disarming the resistance, without addressing core Palestinian demands, including an end to Israeli attacks, humanitarian relief, and a political process leading to statehood. The meeting was further complicated by what sources described as violations of agreed protocol.

These included the brief presence of the commander of the so-called International Stabilization Force, as well as the unexpected participation of Aryeh Lightstone, an advisor to US President Donald Trump.

According to sources, Lightstone adopted a confrontational tone, pressing for concessions and warning of escalatory consequences, contributing to heightened tensions during the talks.

Rapists back on duty.

Israeli Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir approved the return of five Unit 100 soldiers charged with the rape and torture of a Palestinian detainee at Sde Teiman prison to active military service, even though investigations into their crimes remain incomplete, Haaretz reported on April 16.

The decision allows reservists implicated in the assault to resume service while the military says its internal inquiry “will be completed soon,” adding that “the investigation does not prevent them from serving in the reserves.”

The case centers on five soldiers who were charged in February 2025 with raping a Palestinian detainee in Sde Taiman prison in July 2024.

The soldiers beat the detainee, dragged him across the ground, stepped on his body, and used a taser against him, including to the head. One soldier stabbed him in the anus, causing a tear in the rectal wall.

 Israel doesn't follow ceasefire rules. There has never been a ceasefire. It's just the usual lies to pacify people.

This is what it takes to become a war hero. Our hero is out on bail, however if he was in the UK and held up a sign in support of Palestine Action then he would be in jail. One of the accusations is that he kicked a handcuffed prisoner off a cliff.

The country's most-decorated living soldier was earlier this month charged with five counts of murder - allegedly committed while the former Special Air Service (SAS) corporal was deployed to Afghanistan on Australia's behalf.

Fresh court documents seen by the BBC reveal – in detail – allegations that the 47-year-old

• murdered a disabled Afghan detainee,
• kicked a handcuffed prisoner off a cliff,
• ordered rookie soldiers execute others in an initiation practice called "blooding", and
• planted items on the alleged victims to cover-up misconduct.

This may help to join the dots. A culture of brutality and criminal behaviour has become acceptable from psychopaths in western armies. We probably only hear about 1/10000 of what actually happens in Gaza, Afghanistan, Iraq, and elsewhere. Perhaps the war crime trials in The Hague may bring some justice for some.

We will get full details from Gaza in time at The Hague that may make that Aussie look like a saint. Do you think delivery of clean water is threatening Israel's existence, an existential threat to the Third Temple? ps did you know The Third Reich, meaning "Third Realm" or "Third Empire", referred to the Nazi claim that Nazi Germany was the successor to the Holy Roman Empire and the German Empire. Strange coincidence that, isn't it, Third Temple and Third Reich.

The United Nations Children’s Fund says it is “outraged” after Israel killed two drivers it had contracted to deliver clean water to families in Gaza.

UNICEF said in a ⁠statement the incident occurred during routine water trucking on Friday morning at the Mansoura water filling point in northern Gaza, which supplies Gaza City. Two other people ‌were wounded in the attack.

Starry: Australia’s NSW highest court struck down the draconian anti-protest law (PARD) introduced after the Bondi massacre, and which gave NSW police the power to restrict peaceful Pro Palestinian marches during President Isaac Herzog’s visit in February ... disregarding core ICCPR obligations related to freedom of opinion and expression, and right of peaceful assembly to protest (Articles 19 and 21)) ...

The case was presided over by full bench of Court of Appeal Supreme Court (chief justice Andrew Bell, justice Julie Ward, and justice Stephen Free):

224 The orders of the Court are:
(1)The Court declares that Part 2, Division 3A of the Terrorism (Police Powers) Act 2002 (NSW) impermissibly burdens the implied constitutional freedom of communication on government and political matters and is invalid.
(2)The Court declares that section 200(5) of the Law Enforcement (Powers and Responsibilities) Act 2002 (NSW) impermissibly burdens the implied constitutional freedom of communication on government and political matters and is invalid.
(3)The Court declares that sections 27A and 27B Summary Offences Act 1988 (NSW) impermissibly burden the implied constitutional freedom of communication on government and political matters and are invalid.
[...]

In my opinion, this landmark ruling can be used by UK defence teams as a persuasive precedent to argue a point of law. It will give pause for thought about banning “from river to sea” (penalty: up to 2 years imprisonment) - in Queensland, they were saying it’s menacing anti-semitic hate speech. The Israeli Zionist government use the same phrase when they are talking about their grand plans for Greater Israel.

^ Such intimidation on free expression of ideas has a chilling effect on social media platforms for participants discussing Israel’s ongoing genocide... ^

“NSW’s highest court strikes down anti-protest law introduced in wake of Bondi beach terror attack”
“Court finds law – which effectively meant protesters could not march without risk of arrest – is unconstitutional”

“The court of appeal handed down its findings on Thursday after three activist groups – the Blak Caucus, the Palestine Action Group and Jews Against the Occupation ’48 – filed a constitutional challenge in early January against the legislation.

“The law, known as the public assembly restriction declaration or Pard, was passed in the wake of the Bondi beach terror attack in which 15 people were killed. It meant protesters could not use the form 1 system – a notice of intention to the police to hold a public assembly - in areas designated by police for up to three months after a terrorist attack, effectively meaning protesters could not march without the risk of arrest.

“In a major loss for the Minns [Labor] government, the law will be struck down after the court found the law does impermissibly burden the implied constitutional right to freedom of communication on government and political matters.

To answer your questions, no and yes I knew that.

Starvation as torture and ethnic cleansing.

A newly circulated image of Hudhaifa al-Kahlout, widely known as Abu Obeida, has reignited public attention to the conditions under which he lived and ultimately died.

The image was shared by his son, Ibrahim al-Kahlout, who offered a striking description of his father’s condition. 

He wrote that the years had not worn him down, but rather “the war and the hunger that he chose to live with his people, not above them,” adding that he had lost more than 30 kilograms of his weight without losing “an iota of his dignity or steadfastness.”

Why are you asking me such ridiculous questions? I've never once defended or supported anything Roberts-Smith is accused of. I simply asked what has actions in Afghanistan, as an Australian soldier, had to do with Israel and Palestine.

As usual if posters aren't calling for the end of Israel, the west is evil and the middle east are victims, then you go into attack mode.

Heartwarming to see more and more videos on social media of Israeli tourists all over the world getting hassled and refused service in places. Despite the media trying not to be mainstream with its reporting on Israel, the mainstream global view is that Israel is as bad as the Nazis.
