كن حذرًا في اختيار الجانب الذي تقف معه لأنك ستظل واقفًا معه لفترة طويلة جدًا.

سورة إبراهيم (14:16-17): مِنْ وَرَائِهِ جَهَنَّمُ وَيُسْقَىٰ مِن مَّاءٍ صَدِيدٍ يَتَجَرَّعُهُ وَلَا يَكَادُ يُسِيغُهُ وَيَأْتِيهِ الْمَوْتُ مِن كُلِّ مَكَانٍ وَمَا هُوَ بِمَيِّتٍ وَمِن وَرَائِهِ عَذَابٌ غَلِيظٌ

سورة التوبة (9:80): اسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ أَوْ لَا تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ إِنْ تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةً فَلَن يَغْفِرَ اللَّهُ لَهُمْ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ كَفَرُوا بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ ۚ وَاللَّهُ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الْفَاسِقِينَ

"ANY of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, 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 United Nations must immediately invoke Resolution 377 "Uniting for Peace" to 1.) convene an emergency meeting of UNGA 2.) authorize military action 3.) establish a no-fly zone above Gaza 4.) ensure unimpeded access for humanitarian aid

Lines from the Midst of Suffering When we talk about people sleeping on the ground, some may find it hard to believe and feel that there is an exaggeration, but what I saw with my own eyes is unbelievable. Children sleep on the ground in the harshness of the situation, where your feet cannot bear the cold of the ground, and in some families, five people may share one mattress. As winter approaches, the situation will be even harsher, so what will be the situation of the displaced who live in tents or rows with open sides? This reality reflects the depth of suffering that can only be imagined by those who have experienced it.

"ANY of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, 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 actions of the savage settler colony in the middle east meet ALL of these criteria.

Your perspective is an interesting attempt to harmonize cosmological science with theology. Here's how this idea might resonate within an Islamic framework:

1. Unseen and Invisible:

   • Dark matter and dark energy are indeed invisible to us, interacting with other matter only through gravity or, in the case of dark energy, by affecting the expansion rate of the universe. This unseen nature aligns with the Islamic concept of the unseen (ghayb), which includes aspects of the universe and divine presence that are beyond human perception.

   • "He is with you wherever you are. And Allah sees all that you do." (Quran 57:4) - This can be interpreted as Allah's omnipresence, akin to the pervasive influence of dark matter and dark energy.

2. Omnipresence:

   • The concept of Allah being present everywhere in His creation without being physically part of it fits with the idea that dark matter and energy permeate the cosmos but are not directly observable. While dark matter and energy are not Allah, the metaphor of an unseen force holding everything together can be likened to Allah's sustaining presence.

3. Sustenance and Order:

   • Allah as Al-Qayyum (The Sustainer) keeps the universe in order. The way dark matter contributes to the structure of galaxies by providing the gravitational glue, and dark energy drives the expansion of the universe, might metaphorically reflect the divine will in maintaining cosmic order.

4. Creation from Nothing:

   • The universe's creation from nothing (ex nihilo) in Islamic theology can be paralleled with how dark energy causes the universe to expand from a point of singularity. While this is not a direct theological connection, it's an interesting philosophical parallel.

5. The Mystery of the Universe:

   • The mystery surrounding dark matter and dark energy can be seen as a reflection of the vastness and depth of Allah's creation, encouraging humans to explore and understand more about the world He created, aligning with the Islamic encouragement to seek knowledge:

     • "Say, 'Are those who know equal to those who do not know?' Only they will remember[who are] people of understanding." (Quran 39:9)

6. Metaphorical Alignment:

   • While dark matter and dark energy are physical phenomena explained by science, using them as metaphors for understanding the unseen and omnipresent aspects of Allah can be a poetic or philosophical way to relate to the divine in the universe's vastness.

However, it's important to clarify:

• Theological Boundaries: In Islamic theology, Allah is not part of His creation. He transcends it. Therefore, equating dark matter or dark energy directly with Allah could be seen as diminishing His transcendence or suggesting a pantheistic view, which is not in line with Islamic monotheism or Tawhid.

• Creation vs. Creator: Dark matter and dark energy, as parts of the universe, are creations, not the Creator. Allah's omnipresence is spiritual or metaphysical, not physical like dark matter or energy.

Your interpretation provides a modern lens through which one might appreciate the majesty and subtlety of Allah's presence in the universe, but it's crucial to maintain the distinction between the Creator and His creation to align with traditional Islamic beliefs.

After Word War 2, after the Nazis had been defeated and after their crimes and atrocities had been exposed in the Nuremberg trials, there was a broad international consensus of #NeverAgain.

This consensus led to the establishment of the United Nations with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the establishment of the International Court of Justice with the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, and the establishment of the International Criminal Court with the Statute of Rome.

These rules and institutions have served as the foundation of our civilization for almost a century and it is a sad irony of fate that some people are now dismantling the rules and institutions which were created for their protection.

I have a dire warning to these people: Where there was order, there will be anarchy, where there was peace, there will be war, where there was civilization, there will be barbarism, where there was life, there will be death.

No need to wish them anything. Useless to pray for them.

Surah Ibrahim (14:16-17): مِنْ وَرَائِهِ جَهَنَّمُ وَيُسْقَىٰ مِن مَّاءٍ صَدِيدٍ يَتَجَرَّعُهُ وَلَا يَكَادُ يُسِيغُهُ وَيَأْتِيهِ الْمَوْتُ مِن كُلِّ مَكَانٍ وَمَا هُوَ بِمَيِّتٍ وَمِن وَرَائِهِ عَذَابٌ غَلِيظٌ Surah At-Tawbah (9:80): اسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ أَوْ لَا تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ إِن تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةً فَلَن يَغْفِرَ اللَّهُ لَهُمْ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ كَفَرُوا بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ ۚ وَاللَّهُ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الْفَاسِقِينَ

Reality:

Here's a list of ceasefire agreements or truces where Israel has been accused of violating or not fully adhering to the terms:

1. 1948 Ceasefire Agreements (Armistice Agreements with Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan, and Syria):

   • Israel was accused by Arab states of violating these agreements through military actions in the demilitarized zones, particularly with Syria.

2. 1967 Ceasefire after the Six-Day War:

   • Following UN Security Council Resolution 237, Israel was supposed to allow the return of displaced Palestinians. There have been claims of non-compliance regarding the return of refugees.

3. 1973 Ceasefire (Yom Kippur War):

   • Israel was accused by Egypt and Syria of violating the ceasefire, especially in the early stages where there were reports of continued military engagements.

4. 1982 Lebanon War Ceasefires:

   • Israel's invasion of Lebanon and subsequent actions were seen as violations of ceasefire agreements, particularly the events leading to the Sabra and Shatila massacre where Israel allowed Lebanese Christian militias into Palestinian refugee camps.

5. 1993 Oslo Accords:

   • While not a ceasefire per se, the Oslo Accords aimed at peace. Israel's continued expansion of settlements in the West Bank and Gaza has been viewed as a violation of the spirit of these agreements.

6. 2002 Ceasefire with the Palestinian Authority:

   • During the Second Intifada, there were multiple ceasefires, but operations like Operation Defensive Shield in 2002, where Israel reoccupied Palestinian cities, were seen as breaking these truces.

7. 2008-2009 Gaza Ceasefire (following Operation Cast Lead):

   • Israel was criticized for not lifting the blockade on Gaza as per the terms of the ceasefire brokered by Egypt.

8. 2012 Ceasefire brokered by Egypt after Operation Pillar of Defense:

   • Israel was accused of not fully respecting the ceasefire when there were reports of continued military actions in Gaza.

9. 2014 Ceasefire during Operation Protective Edge:

   • Numerous temporary ceasefires were agreed upon, but both sides accused each other of violations. However, Israel's military operations, including the targeting of tunnels and alleged civilian areas, were seen by some as breaking these truces.

10. 2021 Ceasefire after Operation Guardian of the Walls:

    • Israel's actions, like airstrikes on Gaza, were claimed by some to be violations of the ceasefire terms, especially in the immediate aftermath.

11. November 2023 Temporary Ceasefire with Hamas:

    • Israel was accused by Hamas and some international observers of violating the ceasefire by flying drones and other surveillance activities, which were supposed to be restricted under the truce terms.

Please note:

• Ceasefires in conflicts often involve allegations of violations from both sides. The specifics of each ceasefire agreement's violation can be subject to different interpretations and political viewpoints.
• This list is not exhaustive, and it's based on allegations and criticisms from various sources, including UN reports, human rights organizations, and conflicting parties themselves.
• The nature of war and ceasefire agreements often leads to immediate breaches or accusations of breaches from both sides involved in the conflict.

Here's a list of notable United Nations resolutions that Israel has been criticized for failing to fully comply with since its inception:

Security Council Resolutions:

1. Resolution 48 (1948) - Called for a truce in Palestine, criticized for lack of full compliance.

2. Resolution 162 (1961) - Urged Israel to comply with UN decisions, particularly regarding the withdrawal from areas occupied during the Suez Crisis.

3. Resolution 171 (1962) - Determined that Israel's military actions against Syrian posts were flagrant violations.

4. Resolution 228 (1966) - Censured Israel for its attack on the West Bank village of Samu.

5. Resolution 237 (1967) - Urged Israel to allow the return of new refugees after the Six-Day War.

6. Resolution 242 (1967) - Called for withdrawal of Israeli armed forces from territories occupied in the recent conflict.

7. Resolution 338 (1973) - Called for a ceasefire in the Yom Kippur War and an implementation of Resolution 242.

8. Resolution 425 (1978) - Demanded Israel's withdrawal from all Lebanese territory.

9. Resolution 446 (1979) - Determined that Israeli settlements in Palestinian and other Arab territories occupied since 1967 have no legal validity.

10. Resolution 465 (1980) - Called on Israel to dismantle existing settlements and to cease the establishment of new ones.

11. Resolution 478 (1980) - Censured Israel's attempt to alter the status of Jerusalem, including the "Basic Law" claiming Jerusalem as the capital.

12. Resolution 2334 (2016) - Reaffirmed that Israel's establishment of settlements in Palestinian territory occupied since 1967, including East Jerusalem, has no legal validity.

General Assembly Resolutions:

• Numerous General Assembly resolutions affirm the right of Palestinians to self-determination, condemn Israeli practices affecting the human rights of the Palestinian people, and call for the return of refugees as per Resolution 194 (III) from 1948 which allows for the return of Palestinian refugees.

Other Resolutions:

• There have been resolutions concerning the protection of civilians, cessation of hostilities in Gaza, and humanitarian access, which Israel has been accused of not fully adhering to, especially in conflicts post-2000.

Please note:

• This list is not exhaustive but highlights some of the most frequently cited resolutions.
• Compliance with UN resolutions can be a matter of interpretation. For instance, some resolutions have partial compliance or compliance in some aspects but not others.
• While these resolutions have been criticized for non-compliance, the extent to which Israel has ignored them varies, and in some cases, there might be ongoing or partial implementation or political contestation over the interpretation of these resolutions.

Yes, your point about Germany citing security concerns as a justification for its actions leading up to and during the Holocaust is historically accurate. Here's how that rationale was employed:

1. Post-World War I Germany:

   • Stab-in-the-Back Myth: After Germany's defeat in World War I, many Germans, including Adolf Hitler and the Nazis, propagated the myth that Germany had lost not due to military defeat but because of a betrayal by Jews and leftists from within, often referred to as the "stab in the back." This narrative was used to scapegoat Jews for Germany's economic and social woes.

2. Rise of the Nazi Party:

   • Security Against Bolshevism: The Nazis frequently portrayed Jews, communists, and other groups as threats to national security. This was particularly potent during the rise of the Soviet Union and fears of Bolshevism, where Jews were often conflated with communist ideology in Nazi propaganda.
   • The Enabling Act: After coming to power, the Nazis used the Reichstag Fire in 1933, allegedly set by a communist, to pass the Enabling Act, which allowed Hitler to rule by decree, citing the need to protect the German state from subversion.

3. The Holocaust Justification:

   • Lebensraum and Racial Purity: The Nazis framed their actions as necessary for creating living space ("Lebensraum") for the German people, which required the removal or extermination of "undesirable" populations, including Jews, for the security and purity of the Aryan race.
   • Militarization and Expansion: The expansionist policies of Germany, including the annexation of Austria and parts of Czechoslovakia, were justified under the guise of protecting ethnic Germans and securing Germany's future against perceived threats.

4. The "Final Solution" and Security:

   • War Time Justifications: During World War II, the Nazis claimed that the genocide of Jews was part of a broader effort to secure Europe against what they described as Jewish-Bolshevik conspiracies. The Wannsee Conference in 1942, where the systematic killing of Jews was formalized, was justified in part as a wartime security measure.

5. Propaganda and Public Perception:

   • Dehumanization and Fear: Nazi propaganda played a significant role in creating a public perception that Jews were a security threat due to their supposed control over finance, media, and politics, thereby justifying their removal or elimination for the safety of the German nation.

The use of security concerns by the Nazis was a manipulation of public fear and prejudice, serving as a cover for their ideological goals of racial purity and expansion. This historical example shows how the pretext of national security can be used to justify extreme measures, including genocide. It's a stark reminder of how such justifications can be misused to perpetrate or mask atrocities, a lesson relevant to discussions about any contemporary conflict where security is cited as a reason for actions that impact civilian populations.

The comparison between the current rise of anti-Arabism and anti-Islamism with the rise of antisemitism before World War II involves several layers of historical, social, and political analysis:

1. Historical Context:

   • Antisemitism Before WWII: This was deeply rooted in centuries of Christian anti-Judaism, which evolved into racial antisemitism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The culmination of this hatred was the Holocaust, orchestrated by the Nazi regime, which not only targeted Jews but also other groups deemed undesirable.

   • Anti-Arabism/Anti-Islamism Today: This phenomenon has different roots but shares some similarities with historical antisemitism:

     • Post-9/11 Era: The attacks on September 11, 2001, significantly heightened Islamophobia in Western countries, painting Arabs and Muslims as threats to national security.
     • Migration and Security Concerns: The influx of refugees from conflict zones in the Middle East and Africa has fueled xenophobia in some parts of Europe and North America, often conflating issues of immigration with terrorism.
     • Political Rhetoric: Some political leaders and media outlets have used anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim rhetoric, sometimes echoing the scapegoating seen with Jews before WWII.

2. Mechanisms of Prejudice:

   • Both antisemitism then and Islamophobia now often involve:
     • Scapegoating: Blaming Jews or Muslims for societal or economic problems, much like Jews were blamed for economic downturns or political instability in the past.
     • Conspiracy Theories: Similar to the Protocols of the Elders of Zion for Jews, there are conspiracy theories targeting Muslims, like claims of "Eurabia" or global Muslim takeovers.
     • Dehumanization: Stereotyping entire groups as inherently violent, untrustworthy, or culturally incompatible, a tactic used historically against Jews and currently against Muslims.

3. Societal Impact:

   • Antisemitism Led to Genocide: The unchecked spread of antisemitic ideologies directly contributed to the Holocaust.

   • Current Consequences: While not leading to genocide, the rise in anti-Arabism and Islamophobia has resulted in:

     • Hate Crimes: An increase in hate crimes against Muslims and those perceived to be Muslim.
     • Policy Discrimination: Discriminatory policies or practices, sometimes under the guise of security measures.
     • **Social

After forty days of continuous aggression on the northern Gaza Strip, more than 2,000 martyrs, including children and women, have been killed, about 6,000 people have been injured, while about 1,000 civilians and activists have been arrested. The area, which was once teeming with life, has been reduced to ruins, with a severe shortage of basic services such as water and electricity. Families are living in horrific conditions, with homes and infrastructure destroyed, while the international community faces great challenges in providing humanitarian assistance in this ongoing tragedy.

Several types of Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) could potentially sue the U.S. administration if they believe there's a case to be made for violation of laws like Section 620I of the Foreign Assistance Act:

Human Rights NGOs:

• Amnesty International USA: Known for advocating against human rights abuses globally, they might have the inclination and resources to engage in legal action if they believe U.S. policy violates international human rights norms or domestic laws.

• Human Rights Watch: They focus on documenting and advocating against human rights abuses, and could potentially be involved in legal cases concerning policy violations.

• The Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR): This organization has a history of engaging in litigation against the U.S. government on issues of constitutional rights, international law, and human rights abuses.

Humanitarian Aid NGOs:

• Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF): If U.S. policies directly impact their ability to provide aid, MSF could consider legal action, though they generally focus on operational responses.

• International Rescue Committee (IRC): An organization that might sue if its operational capacity is being hindered by U.S. policy, particularly in conflict zones.

Peace and Security NGOs:

• Win Without War: This coalition of organizations might engage in legal action to challenge U.S. military aid policies they see as contributing to human rights violations or conflicts.

• Global Justice Now: Focuses on challenging global injustices, including issues related to armaments and conflict.

Environmental NGOs:

• While not directly related to Section 620I, if arms sales or aid policies lead to environmental degradation or impact climate refugees, organizations like:
  • Greenpeace USA
  • The Sierra Club might have an interest, particularly if there's an environmental angle to the humanitarian crisis.

NGOs with Legal Capabilities:

• ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union): Although primarily focused on civil liberties within the U.S., they sometimes engage with international law issues.

• EarthRights International: Combines environmental justice with human rights, which could intersect with arms sales and humanitarian aid.

Steps for NGOs to Take Legal Action:

1. Establish Standing: The NGO must show it has been directly affected by the policy or action in question, which can be challenging but is possible if they operate in affected regions.

2. Legal Strategy: They would need to:

   • Draft a complaint detailing the legal violation.
   • Identify the appropriate court (likely federal due to the parties involved).
   • Seek legal representation with experience in federal litigation, constitutional law, and international law.

3. Funding and Resources: Litigation against the government can be expensive and lengthy. NGOs would need to secure funding or pro bono legal support.

4. Alliances: Often, multiple NGOs band together to share resources, expertise, and increase the impact of their legal challenge.

5. International or Domestic Focus: Decide if this is better pursued in U.S. domestic courts or if there's a relevant international legal venue (like arguing before international bodies if applicable).

6. Public Advocacy: While suing, these organizations might also engage in public advocacy to raise awareness and put political pressure on the administration.

Remember, any legal action would need to overcome hurdles like standing, the political question doctrine, and executive privilege. NGOs typically engage in such litigation when they have strong evidence of legal violation and believe the courts can provide a remedy or that the lawsuit can prompt policy change through public or political pressure.

Craig Mokhiber, having resigned from his U.N. position and being a human rights lawyer, could indeed act as a lawyer in a case challenging the Biden administration's actions under Section 620I of the Foreign Assistance Act, provided:

1. Licensure: Mokhiber would need to be licensed to practice law in the jurisdiction where the case would be filed, typically in a U.S. federal court. If he is not currently licensed in the relevant jurisdiction, he would need to either:

   • Obtain a license through admission to the bar of that jurisdiction or,
   • Gain admission pro hac vice (for this specific case), which allows attorneys from other jurisdictions to practice in a specific case with local counsel.

2. Expertise: His background in international human rights law could be very relevant, especially if the case involves interpreting Section 620I in light of international law principles, humanitarian aid, and the legal implications of U.S. foreign assistance policies.

3. Ethical Considerations:

   • Conflict of Interest: If Mokhiber has any previous or ongoing relationships with parties involved that might create a conflict of interest, he would need to address this, possibly by withdrawing from any conflicting roles or obtaining waivers from affected parties.
   • Public Statements: His public statements, especially his resignation letter criticizing U.N. and international policy, might be scrutinized for bias, though in this context, they could also be seen as evidence of his commitment to the issues at hand.

4. Role in Litigation:

   • Representation: He could represent the plaintiffs directly or be part of a legal team.
   • Expert Witness: Alternatively, given his extensive experience and previous role at the U.N., he could serve as an expert witness providing testimony on human rights, international law, or the interpretation of Section 620I.

5. Resources: Litigation of this nature often requires significant resources, including time, legal research, and possibly funding for expert witnesses or travel for discovery. Mokhiber would need to ensure he has the support necessary to handle such a case.

6. Strategic Considerations:

   • Legal Strategy: He would need to strategize around overcoming potential barriers like the political question doctrine, establishing standing, and navigating the complexities of international law intersecting with U.S. domestic law.
   • Publicity and Advocacy: His involvement could also bring public attention to the issue, potentially aiding in advocacy efforts outside of the courtroom.

Mokhiber's profile as an experienced human rights lawyer with a focus on international issues makes him potentially well-suited for such a role, but the specifics of his participation would depend on his current legal status, ethical considerations, and the strategic needs of the case.

If there's a belief that the Biden administration is violating Section 620I of the Foreign Assistance Act, which prohibits providing security assistance or arms sales to any country when it is known that the government restricts U.S. humanitarian assistance, there are several potential avenues for legal action:

Who Can Sue:

1. Congressional Members:

   • Individual Congress members or groups could potentially sue for an injunction or declaratory judgment that the administration's actions violate the law. However, this is less common because Congress has other tools like oversight, budget control, or legislative action.

2. Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs):

   • NGOs focused on human rights, international law, or humanitarian efforts might have standing if they can demonstrate harm to their interests or their ability to provide aid.

3. Affected Individuals or Groups:

   • If there are direct victims or groups affected by the restriction of humanitarian aid, they might have standing, although proving direct harm from U.S. policy decisions could be challenging.

4. Taxpayers:

   • Under certain circumstances, taxpayers might have standing if they can show they are suffering a particularized injury due to the unconstitutional expenditure of funds, but this is narrow and often difficult to establish in foreign policy matters.

How to Take the Administration to Court:

1. Legal Basis:

   • Standing: The plaintiff must establish legal standing by showing:

     • An injury in fact
     • A causal connection between the injury and the conduct complained of
     • That the injury is likely to be redressed by a favorable decision

   • Merits: The lawsuit would argue that the administration's actions contradict Section 620I, potentially seeking:

     • Declaratory judgment that the actions violate the law
     • An injunction to stop the provision of certain types of aid or arms sales

2. Filing the Lawsuit:

   • Jurisdiction: The case would likely be filed in a U.S. District Court, potentially in Washington, D.C., due to the nature of the defendants being federal officials or agencies like the Department of State or Defense.

   • Defendants: The lawsuit would name relevant government officials, potentially the President, Secretary of State, or Defense Secretary, in their official capacity.

3. Legal Process:

   • Complaint: Draft and file a complaint detailing the violation, the law in question, and the remedy sought.
   • Service: Serve the complaint to the government defendants.
   • Response: The government will respond, potentially moving to dismiss for lack of standing or other legal reasons.
   • Discovery: If the case proceeds, there might be a discovery phase where both sides exchange information.
   • Trial or Summary Judgment: Eventually, the case might proceed to trial or be decided on motions for summary judgment if there are no material facts in dispute.

4. Challenges:

   • Political Question Doctrine: Courts might view such issues as political questions not suitable for judicial resolution, particularly in foreign policy.
   • Executive Privilege: Access to information might be limited by claims of executive privilege.

5. Public Interest Litigation:

   • Often, such cases are pursued by public interest lawyers or organizations specialized in human rights or government accountability, possibly in collaboration with legal scholars who focus on international and constitutional law.

Given the complexity and the political nature of these issues:

• Legal Counsel: Engaging with attorneys experienced in constitutional law, international law, and federal litigation would be crucial.
• Understanding the Limits: Even if a lawsuit is filed, there's no guarantee of success due to legal doctrines like standing, political question, or the breadth of executive discretion in foreign affairs.

The process would be intricate, requiring careful legal strategy, significant resources, and an understanding of both domestic and international law contexts.

Impeach Biden, Harris and Blinken! Now!

No assistance shall be furnished under this chapter or the Arms Export Control Act to any country when it is made known to the President that the government of such country prohibits or otherwise restricts, directly or indirectly, the transport or delivery of United States humanitarian assistance.

Section 620I of the Foreign Assistance Act is a U.S. law that addresses restrictions on the transport or delivery of humanitarian assistance. Here are some key points about this section:

• Full Text: "No assistance shall be furnished under this chapter or the Arms Export Control Act to any country when it is made known to the President that the government of such country prohibits or otherwise restricts, directly or indirectly, the transport or delivery of United States humanitarian assistance."

• Objective: This section was created to ensure that U.S. humanitarian aid can reach its intended beneficiaries without interference from the recipient country's government. It aims to prevent countries from blocking or restricting aid provided by the United States.

• Historical Context: This provision was notably introduced in response to Turkey's blockade of Armenia in the 1990s, which was seen as obstructing U.S. humanitarian aid. The law reflects Congressional intent to use aid as a tool to encourage respect for humanitarian principles.

• Implementation: Although this law exists, its implementation has been selective. There have been calls for its application in various contexts, like the humanitarian situation in Gaza, where there were allegations of restrictions on aid by Israel, although enforcement has not been systematic.

• Exceptions: There is room for presidential discretion where the President can waive these restrictions if it's deemed to be in the national security interest of the United States. However, this waiver must be justified and reported to Congress.

• Relevance: Recently, there have been discussions and advocacy efforts by various groups and legislators to enforce this section more rigorously, especially in situations where countries might be seen as obstructing humanitarian aid.

This law underscores the U.S. commitment to ensuring that its humanitarian assistance reaches people in need, using aid as leverage to promote humanitarian access. However, its application is subject to political considerations, and its enforcement can reflect broader U.S. foreign policy objectives.

Minister of State for Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Dr. Fareseen Shaheen reviews Palestinian political and diplomatic efforts to support the issue of prisoners and detainees in occupation prisons Minister Dr. Shaheen explained that Palestinian efforts are focused on activating international support to pressure the occupation to release prisoners and detainees, and improve their detention conditions in line with international law and human rights conventions. She pointed out that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates is intensifying its communication with international institutions, including the United Nations, to ensure that the voice of prisoners is heard, violations against them are documented, and their release is ensured.

I guess it's safe to say that Israel knew the twitter algorithms and that's among the reasons why they 1.) did not publish any photos / videos from Oct 7 2.) held closed screening for journalists only 3.) blocked food, water, electricity but not internet 4.) only refer to a website and never post images here

This explains why all Pro-Palestine accounts suffer from limited visibility. If you ever retweeted graphic content from Gaza and which got flagged as "sensitive", your account has also been flagged and your postings will only be shown to people who follow you and have safe search turned off.

Perfect for people like Trump and Musk who have 54M / 204M followers but only follow 53 / 815 others.

Their postings get maximal amplification from the algorithms gaining them more interactions and even more amplification. https://x.com/R34lB0rg/status/1856240828135432211

I have 30 years of experience in software development.

As my account here has effectively become invisible I took a look at what is known about the Twitter algorithms.

The most important aspect that immediately caught my attention is the follower / following ratio. If you don't follow anyone, even small accounts can get some visibility.

If one of your postings get's flagged for sensitive content or a violation of terms, your account get's flagged and it's game over. Create a new account and start from scratch. There is nothing in the code to ever reset these flags.

Getting others to interact with your posts helps your visibility. Interacting with big accounts can also help your visibility but if you have interacted with an account that gets flagged, locked, suspended or deleted, it hurts your visibility very much.

My account has 3787 Follower and 3324 Following Ratio: 1.14 Algorithmic boost: 3.12

Trump has 54.1 Mio Follower and 53 Following Ratio: 1775471 Algorithmic boost: 1.8 * 10^771077 https://x.com/R34lB0rg/status/1856216911064756352

I'm so old, I remember a time when Followers and Retweets mattered on Twitter.

With the algorithms now in place, only big "trusted" accounts who follow few other accounts and don't interact with people get impressions.

This level of aid is insufficient to meet the basic nutritional needs of Gaza's population, leading to severe food shortages and potentially catastrophic hunger conditions. The 30 trucks daily in October represent a significant reduction in available food, contributing to a dire humanitarian situation where people are at risk of malnutrition or worse

Philippe Lazzarini, the head of UNRWA, mentioned an average of 30 aid trucks entering Gaza daily in October. Here's what this might mean in terms of food availability:

1. Pre-War Comparison:

   • Before the conflict, Gaza saw an average of 500 trucks entering daily, each potentially carrying 15-25 tons of aid, including food, medical supplies, and other essentials. This means the pre-war food supply was significantly higher.

2. Reduction in Aid Volume:

   • With only 30 trucks entering daily, and assuming each truck carries an average of 15 tons (a conservative estimate), that's approximately 450 tons of aid entering Gaza each day. However, this total includes all types of aid, not just food.

3. Food Specifics:

   • Assuming that food constitutes a significant portion of this aid (which is generally the case in humanitarian crises), we can estimate that maybe 50-70% of the load on these trucks might be food. This would translate roughly into:
     • 135 to 315 tons of food per day (using the 30% to 70% food assumption).

4. Impact on Population:

   • Gaza's population is around 2.2 million people.
   • If we take the higher estimate of 315 tons of food entering per day:
     • This translates to about 0.143 kg (or 143 grams) of food per person daily, which is far below what's needed for basic nutritional requirements. The World Food Programme (WFP) suggests that in emergencies, people need at least 2,100 kilocalories per day, which would require at least 500 grams of food per person daily under normal conditions.

5. Conclusion:

   • This level of aid is insufficient to meet the basic nutritional needs of Gaza's population, leading to severe food shortages and potentially catastrophic hunger conditions. The 30 trucks daily in October represent a significant reduction in available food, contributing to a dire humanitarian situation where people are at risk of malnutrition or worse.

This drastic reduction in aid underscores the severe impact on food availability, especially when compared to pre-conflict levels, highlighting the urgent need for increased humanitarian aid to prevent famine and widespread hunger.

Leopold von Mildenstein's description of the Arab population in Palestine during his visit in 1933 reveals a perspective influenced by the prevailing prejudices of his time, including some rooted in Nazi ideology:

• Physical and Social Observations: He described the physical condition of some Arab women and children in a derogatory manner, noting the lack of veiling among older women and the hygiene of the children. His comments about the "Arab scents" and the bumpy ride suggest discomfort or disdain for the conditions he encountered.

• Use of Stereotypes: Interestingly, Mildenstein used stereotypes often applied to Jews by antisemites to describe the Arabs he met. He noted the supposed greed of Arab porters in Haifa, the presence of filthy beggars in Jerusalem's Old City, and portrayed the rural Arab population (Fellachen) as living in primitive conditions with homes made from sand-filled gasoline cans. This reflects a tendency to attribute negative traits to groups he considered "other" or inferior, in line with the racial and cultural biases of Nazi ideology.

This account not only shows Mildenstein's personal biases but also how Nazi ideology could project its own prejudices onto different ethnic groups, sometimes using similar derogatory frameworks regardless of the actual cultural or social differences between Jews and Arabs. His observations serve as an example of how racial and cultural stereotypes were employed to justify and propagate a worldview where certain groups were seen as inherently inferior or backwards.

Israel is Antisemitic

Arabic: Salam (سلام) Hebrew: Shalom (שָׁלוֹם) Aramaic: Shlama (ܫܠܡܐ) Phoenician: Shalom (שלם) Akkadian: šalāmum

Polish: pokój

English: Peace Latin: Pax French: Paix Spanish: Paz Italian: Pace German: Frieden

Semitic Languages:

The great powers thought that Palestine already had a native Jewish population and was getting along well so they could just take in the Jews from Europa. They didn't realize that the Ashkenazi Jews from Eastern Europe were very different people from the Semitic Jews in Palestine. And I think it is worth noting that these Semitic Jews are mostly the ones who denounce Zionism and Israel and refuse to serve in the military.

All western leaders have issued similar statements condemning the violence against Israelis in Amsterdam.

Not a single one has condemned the violence of the Israeli hooligans against Netherlanders.

Few have condemned to violence against and the murder of 42,552 Palestinians.

Stop calling the people politicians, they are agents of political Zionism.

I go out every day, camera in hand, pen in pocket, not knowing if I will return. I run away from the shells, hide from the planes, and fight hunger and exhaustion. Food, safety, and sleep have become rare luxuries. We survive on little, and draw strength from the smallest acts of steadfastness – a piece of bread we share or a word of condolence we exchange. My home, like the homes of many here, no longer exists; the occupation army destroyed it, and there is no place here that makes me feel safe.

What western leaders mean when they invoke the Holocaust and say

Never again... ...Jews as victims ...except for the Palestinian people ...except when Israel does it

The Vice-Chancellor of Austria is remembering the victims which died 90 years ago but not a single word about the victims who died in the past 13 months.

And then he has the Chutzpah to talk about dignity, human rights and order of law.

Despicable and Disgusting.

Or now simply being starved to death. As @UNLazzarini stated, on average only 30 trucks of aid have entered the strip per day during October. That's just 112,5g of food per person per day.

Wednesday a friend in Gaza told me he has been going without food for three days. Yesterday another told me his family has not had a meal for a week.

That's genocide by any and all definitions.

I am outraged by the hypocrisy of western leaders not condemning the ongoing genocide in Gaza and not condemning the violence of Maccabi Tel Aviv hooligans and not condemning them chanting genocidal lyrics before the game and not condemning them disrupting the minute of silence held for the victims of the flooding in Valencia.

In 1938, Palestine was under British rule. The persecution of Jews had just begun in Europe. Rosevelt organized the Evian Conference and asked 32 nations to take in Jews fleeing Europe. Only the Dominican Republic and Costa Rica were willing to take them in. A representative from Palestine was allowed to attend the conference, but only as an observer. The Nazis cooperated with the Zionist Federation (Haavara Agreement) and supported the resettlement of 60,000 Jews to Palestine. Ten years later, after several heinous terror attacks, the Brits relinquished their mandate and the Jews founded Israel. During the Nakba about 15,000 Palestinians were murdered and 750,000 fled to neighboring countries.

You have to understand that the story always starts when the victims of their violence dare to strike back.

Then it's an unprovoked attack and it's antisemitic to talk about what happened before that.

Civilized countries must consider identifying, arresting and deporting Mossad agents.

Before World War II, there were numerous instances where Jewish communities were expelled, often due to various socio-political, economic, or religious reasons. Here is a list of some significant historical expulsions:

• England in 1290: King Edward I expelled the Jewish population from England, marking the first complete expulsion of Jews from a European country.

• France in 1306, 1322, 1394: Multiple expulsions occurred from France, with the most notable being in 1394 by Charles VI, after which Jews were not officially allowed back until the French Revolution.

• Spain in 1492: The Alhambra Decree by King Ferdinand II and Queen Isabella I expelled Jews from Spain, leading to the Sephardic diaspora.

• Portugal in 1496: Following Spain's example, King Manuel I of Portugal expelled Jews who did not convert to Christianity.

• Bavaria and other parts of Germany: There were multiple local expulsions throughout the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, like from Mainz in 1012, and various cities under the Holy Roman Empire.

• Hungary in 1349-1360: Due to the Black Death, Jews were expelled from Hungary.

• Austria in 1421: The Jewish population was expelled from Austria under Duke Albert V.

• Lithuania in 1445: Jews were expelled from Lithuania by Casimir IV.

• Sicily and Sardinia in 1492: Following the Spanish expulsion, Sicily and Sardinia also expelled their Jewish populations.

• Provence in 1501: After being part of the Kingdom of France, Provence expelled its Jews.

• Italy (various cities and states): There were local expulsions in cities like Milan in 1489, and Venice in 1397, although these were sometimes reversed.

• Morocco: There were instances of expulsion or forced migration, particularly in the 15th century.

• Papal States in 1569: Pope Pius V expelled Jews from the Papal States, except for Rome and Ancona.

This list is not exhaustive, as there were many more local expulsions or pogroms that forced Jewish migration. The exact number of countries or territories from which Jews were expelled before WWII is difficult to quantify due to the fluid nature of political boundaries, the variety of expulsion decrees, and the often temporary nature of some expulsions where Jews were allowed to return after some time or under different rulers. However, these incidents highlight a pattern of expulsion over centuries across Europe and parts of the Muslim world.

90 years later, the Dutch still resist...

The Dutch resistance against the Nazis during World War II was multifaceted, involving both passive and active forms of opposition. Here's an overview:

Passive Resistance:

• Hiding Jews and Others: A significant number of Dutch citizens engaged in hiding Jews, Allied airmen, and other persecuted individuals. Organizations like the Landelijke Organisatie voor Hulp aan Onderduikers (LO) were established to provide these people with false papers, food coupons, and safe houses. This act of hiding was risky, as anyone caught helping Jews faced severe punishment, but it was a critical means of resistance.

• Non-compliance: Many Dutch citizens engaged in acts of non-cooperation, such as refusing to join the Nazi Party or its Dutch affiliate, the National Socialist Movement in the Netherlands (NSB), and avoiding work in Germany under the Arbeitseinsatz program.

Active Resistance:

• Armed Resistance:

  • Groups like the Communist Party of the Netherlands, the Ordedienst (OD - Service Order), and later the Raad van Verzet (RVV - Council of Resistance) organized more direct actions against the occupiers. These included sabotage of railways and communication lines, attacking collaborators, and occasionally engaging in armed combat. Notable among these were the attacks on Nazi officials and the assassination of collaborators.

  • The Englandspiel operation, although initially a German deception, later turned into resistance activity by Dutch agents who managed to escape and continue their work against the Nazis.

• Strikes:

  • The February Strike of 1941 was one of the first public protests against the persecution of Jews in Nazi-occupied Europe. Over 300,000 Dutch workers participated in this strike, which was violently suppressed by the Nazis. This event marked a significant moment of collective resistance.

  • There were also smaller strikes and protests throughout the occupation, particularly when new oppressive measures were introduced.

• Underground Publications:

  • Resistance fighters published and distributed underground newspapers to spread news, encourage resistance, and keep public morale up. These publications often included coded messages, intelligence, and instructions for resistance activities.

• Intellectual and Spiritual Resistance:

  • Churches, particularly the Reformed and Catholic churches, played a role by denouncing anti-Semitism and encouraging moral resistance against Nazi policies. They sometimes provided aid to Jews and others in hiding.

• Escape Networks:

  • Networks like Dutch-Paris helped people escape to neutral countries or to join the Allied forces. These operations were dangerous and required intricate planning and bravery.

Impact and Legacy:

• The Dutch resistance was instrumental in aiding the Allies, particularly with intelligence, sabotage, and helping downed airmen. However, the resistance came at a great cost; many were betrayed, tortured, or executed.

• Post-war, the Dutch resistance has been viewed with a mixture of pride and critical reflection. Some argue that the extent and effectiveness of resistance activities were sometimes overstated, given the high percentage of Jewish victims in the Netherlands compared to other Western European countries. Nonetheless, the acts of resistance have been commemorated and are a significant part of Dutch historical memory.

• Individuals like Hannie Schaft, the "girl with the red hair," and groups like the Oversteegen sisters have become symbols of the Dutch resistance due to their bravery and the symbolic acts of defiance they undertook.

The resistance in the Netherlands was diverse, ranging from everyday acts of defiance to organized, sometimes violent, opposition against the Nazi regime, reflecting a broad spectrum of societal response to occupation and oppression.
