Nakba 1948-2025

Schouwburgplein, Rotterdam, zondag 11 mei om 14:00 CEST

Op zondag 11 mei staan we stil bij de Nakba (de catastrofe van de Palestijnen) die in 1948 begon en tot op de dag van vandaag doorgaat. Vanuit de achtergrond van de Palestijnse geschiedenis, cultuur en het internationaal recht.

Luister mee naar de ervaringsverhalen en poëzie, leer meer over de achtergrond en sta samen met ons stil tijdens het gezamenlijk moment van verbinding en herdenking.

Graag tot ziens op 11 mei op het Schouwburgplein (kant van de Doelen)!

Nazi Israeli forces have bombed al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza City, the largest remaining functioning hospital in northern Gaza, destroying its emergency unit, main entrance and medical oxygen supplies.

Was für ein Wahnsinn im #Wertewesten: Die Verbrechen der Junta in #Jerusalem machen mich fassungslos:

Die #Nakba - imo deckungsgleich mit dem #Holocaust, der #Shoa - findet JETZT in GAZA an den Palästinensern statt. Für alle sichtbar!

Unsere Medien trichtern uns ein, Putin zu verteufeln. Teufel aus Jerusalem - genauso wie die Völkermörder #Blair und #Bush, die kriminell den #Irak überfallen und Hunderttausende Menschen abgeschlachtet hatten - scheinen sakrosankt morden zu dürfen.

Today In Labor History April 9, 1948: The Irgun and Lehi Zionist paramilitary slaughtered over 100 Palestinians in the Deir Yassin massacre, near Jerusalem. Many of the victims were women and children. Rape and mutilation were also alleged. It was part of the Nakba and expulsion of Palestinians from Palestine. As news of the massacre spread, it sparked terror among Palestinians throughout the region, convincing many to flee their homes. It also strengthened the resolve of Arab governments to attack, which they did a few weeks later, sparking the Arab-Israeli War of 1948. Menachim Begin was leader of the Irgun at the time. He went on to found the Likud Party and he became prime minister of Israel from 1977 to 1983. Many Arab states produced postage stamps commemorating the massacre. All of them use the image of a map of Palestine with a bloody dagger thrust into it.

No food or medical supplies, nothing has been allowed into Gaza for a month by the murdering Jewish-supremacist colonial administration.
Meanwhile plans proced to annex and clear all of Palestine of the Palestinians.
I do hope that one day, from the river to the sea, #Palestine will be free, but I have little hope given all the anabling governments from Budapest to London to Washington to Berlin.

Ich weiß nicht was ich sagen soll? Man wird verbissen und wütend.

Wie selbstverständlich jemandem #Antisemitismus vorgeworfen wird...

Wie selbstverständlich diese Person gecancelt wird...

Es kann doch nicht sein, dass nur eine von Millionen Meinungen erlaubt ist?

Quoting Israeli Journalist Israel Frey: "We cannot sugar-coat reality"

Israeli journalist Israel Frey speaks out after being investigated by police for his social media posts. He refuses to be silenced despite intimidation tactics, stating: "The voice of morality, conscience and justice will continue to be heard despite their efforts." Frey criticizes ongoing oppression in #Palestine, including the massacre in #Gaza and detention conditions. He emphasizes that true equality will eventually prevail despite the current political climate.

[…] When I arrived at the interrogation, I was confronted with a series of completely legitimate tweets I had published. Common to all of them is the distinction I insist on making between the reprehensible harm to civilians, women and children versus warfare or harm to armed security forces, particularly in apartheid territories. This distinction is factually necessary and morally correct. Even in Israel, which has been founded from its first day on Jewish supremacy and the oppression of the other people. This standard exists and is present in discourse - both in media terminology and in the statements of politicians, leaders and opinion makers. The attempt to blur this distinction is essentially an attempt to erase the existence of the asymmetrical situation between the occupier and the occupied, between the oppressor and the oppressed.

[…] Oppression has various faces and methods. It begins with the expulsion of residents from more than 600 villages in 1948 and 1949, continues with military rule and a more elegant occupation with a military legal system of 'Civil Administration.' Certainly now the oppression is more blatant. We've moved from a supposedly 'enlightened' occupation, with slick language and attempts to present the sophisticated map of oppression in a way more palatable to Israelis and to the outside world, to a much more explicit place. Now they're not ashamed of killing children and don't even pretend to maintain any morality within the oppression.

זו הדרך · העיתונאי ישראל פריי בעקבות החקירה במשטרה: לא ניתן לייפות את המציאות - זו הדרךאסף טלגם 21.03.2025 שתפו "ברור מה הם רוצים להשיג בחקירה זו" – אמר השבוע העיתונאי ישראל פריי בראיון ל"זו הדרך". הריאיון נערך בעקבות חקירתו במשטרה בחשד להסתה בעקבות עמדות שפרסם ברשתות החברתיות. "כל ניסיון הפחדה כזה נועד להשתיק את ההתבטאות הבאה. אבל זה לא יעבוד להם. קול המוסר, המצפון והצדק ימשיך להישמע על אפם ועל חמתם", הדגיש. מדוע זומנת לחקירה? מה שאלו אותך? זו הייתה

Quoting Stephen Kapos on the duty to stand against injustice:

[...] I say this as a Holocaust Survivor that the genocide in Gaza, is not happening in my name and in our name. The way that the Israeli government is using the memory of the Holocaust in order to justify what they're doing to the Gazans is a complete insult to the memory of the Holocaust it's an outrage. When I saw the Israeli ambassador to the United Nations putting on a yellow star it was stomach turning. Somebody who had to wear a yellow star like myself and my entire family I'm insulted by that.

[...] What distinguishes the Jewish Holocaust is its industrial scale and industrial methods being applied. And what has been happening to Gaza is similar in that the scale of the bombing and the indiscriminate nature of the bombing the complete lack of care about children and women being the majority of the victims amounts to Industrial scale of genocide.

[...] Some of the actions of the Nazi state in dehumanising and completely cruel large scale killings etc, if it is repeated I don't see why you couldn't make the parallel it can only be helpful in understanding what's going on to make the parallel I don't think there should be any taboo against that.

[...] I felt it completely incomprehensible really how you can do anything but totally condemn quite clear genocide and anybody who doesn't do that it will be Revisited on him or her to to look back on to be on the wrong side of history and and seriously guilty and that goes for the UK government to Keir Stramer and the shadow cabinet and some of the church leaders, the chief rabbi completely identifies with Israel and Zionism.

[...] I think it's important to stand up against this conflation that is propagated between Jewishness and Zionism if you do not stand up and criticize it and divorce yourself from it, then it sort of besmirches all Jews basically...

Interview: Palestinian writer, Mohammed El-Kurd, describes a childhood overtaken by Israeli settlers & the New York Jews who've joined them:

"The guy currently in our house is from Long Island." He "fled fraud charges in the US & has found himself a safe haven in our home."

There's a "large number of Jewish New York residents in these kinds of settler groups."

#Palestine-Israel / Legal analysis of Israel's proposed Citizenship Amendment, a legal disenfranchisement of Arab citizens' children born in Gaza​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ (by Yael Ronen, a professor of international law)

The proposed amendment to Israel's Citizenship Law, as announced by the Ministry of Interior on March 3, 2025, represents a significant deviation from #Israel's established “jus sanguinis” citizenship framework by denying citizenship to children of Israeli citizens born in "enemy states" or Gaza.

This legislative initiative, which fails to acknowledge its disproportionate impact on Arab Israeli citizens despite legal requirements to do so, contravenes Israel's obligations under international conventions, including the Convention on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the Convention on the Rights of the Child.

The amendment's purported justification—that children born in these territories inherently possess "identification and loyalty" to those entities—lacks empirical foundation and conflicts with established legal principles regarding citizenship acquisition, thereby constituting what critics characterize as a demographically motivated policy that further marginalizes an already vulnerable population segment within Israeli society.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Ora Sarah nota un altro avvertimento da parte dell'invasore: “spero che voi pepol (persone) non dimentichiate mai il 7.10.23”.

Come potrebbero Sarah o chiunque altro a Gaza dimenticare quel giorno fatale?

Ma... gli israeliani ricordano che i palestinesi vivono da 77 anni una #Nakba continua?
Ricordano l'implacabile e soffocante assedio inflitto a Gaza, le famiglie e i bambini bombardati e uccisi nel 2008, 2009, 2014 e 2021?

Può esserci giustizia quando “non dimenticare mai” è per te e non per me?

Un altro osceno atto di vandalismo attira l'attenzione di Sarah, una frase in ebraico, un frammento di un pensiero incompiuto: “Campo di tiro”. ⬇️6

“Non ci è permesso parlare, non ci è permesso manifestare contro i ladri, contro i bugiardi, contro i razzisti.
Oggi non c'è legge nel Paese. Ci sono crimini come durante la #Nakba del 1948.
I coloni stanno prendendo il potere nelle loro mani, la polizia e il governo chiudono gli occhi”.
