Israel - Palestine Discussion | Post Respectfully | Discuss more, tweet less



The statement adopted following the meeting commits states to:
1. Uphold the arrest warrants issued against Israeli officials by the International Criminal Court;
2. Prevent provision or transfer of arms, munitions and related equipment to Israel, where there is a clear risk that they might be used to violate international law; and
3. Prevent the docking of vessels at any of their ports where there is a risk of the vessel being used to carry military fuel and weaponry to Israel.

Try as it might the West wasn't able to kill Palestine, even as it slit the throat of it's own rules based order.

It's not backed up by any power though, soft, financial or militarily.

Belize, Bolivia, Colombia, Cuba, Honduras, Malaysia, Namibia, Senegal and South Africa explored collective action at both national and international levels to further the cause of Palestinian liberation.
 
Zakaria Zubeidi was released by the Israelis a few days ago. He was one of the most famous militants held in Israeli prisons, I remember watching regular news footage of him from Jenin during the second intifada where he would give reporters tours of the refugee camp. He has gone back and forth between a pro-peace/pro-militant position over the years, and most recently was in the news as one of six prisoners who escaped the Gilboa Prison in 2021. He’s had an interesting life to say the least. Some footage of him during the second intifada below:











This last one is from 2008 when he had apparently embraced non-violence and was promoting the famous Freedom Theatre in Jenin:

Whilst there have undoubtedly been civilian hostages held in Gaza there have also been a lot of IDF soldiers captured and western media keeps referring to these prisoners as hostages. They were responsible for enforcing the siege of Gaza so are prisoners of war not hostages, the reporting has been really inaccurate in these instances. Whilst every Palestinian hostage is described as a prisoner and often not reporting that many are children and a lot held without any conviction/charge .
