Waarom ontbrak Yuli Novak op TV?
Aan alle journalisten (zoals Olaf Koens, zie https://infosec.exchange/@ErikvanStraten/113860290360685357), talkshowhosts en programmamakers:
Waarom zien we mensen zoals Yuli Novak niet in bijv. College Tour of Nieuwsuur? Reikt de CIDI-inloed dan écht *zó* ver?
Het, volgens o.a. Mark Rutte, enige "democratische" land in de regio, maakt mensenrechtenactivisten en politieke tegenstanders het leven onmogelijk. Zo ontvluchtte Yuli Novak Israël in 2022.
De grootouders van Yuli Novak overleefden de Holocaust. Zelf diende zij 5 jaar bij de IDF, en besefte steeds meer dat er iets niet klopte van wat haar dreef: "if you're not telling the whole story, it's actually false".
Zie https://youtube.com/watch?v=y54ZVcmOdsw.
Als je niet het hele (m.i. uitstekende) interview wilt uitzitten, kijk dan in elk geval het begin (met een hoogtepunt) en vanaf ca. 22:22 - waarin zij vertelt hoe het was om net moeder te zijn geworden.
Interessant vond ik ook haar argument dat het dehumaniseren van Palestijnen ertoe leidt dat (vaak erg jonge) IDF-soldaten tot afschuwlijke oorlogsmisdaden, en het belachelijk maken van Palestijnen, in staat zijn.
Ook stelt zij dat het aantal dienstweigeraars veel lager is dan ik vermoedde.
Mijn conclusie is dat, als westerse landen (schouder aan schouder!), blijven nalaten om Israël -met alle mogelijke middelen- tot rationeel denken dwingen, het van kwaad tot erger zal gaan. Zelfs een grootschalige aanval op Iran (met steun van Trump) sluit ik niet uit.
ACHTERGRONDINFO
Sommigen herinneren zich mogelijk nog de volgende nieuwsitems, waarin Yuli Novak genoemd wordt:

The media contortionists bending over bakwards not to say what is hidden in plain sight at high noon, the elephant in the room, the bare minimum of what a “civilized” press could say: Israel, the genocidaire, is killing babies by the thousands as we’re sipping on eggnog.
Why not listen to Wagner as the livestreamed Western slaughterhouse in West Asia plays out. Give us a nazi salute while you’re at it, stenographers.

The Auschwitz Memorial (aka Auschwitz Museum) continuously broadcasts toots reminding viewers of the horrific crimes committed by nazis in concentration camps roughly 80 years ago (as can be seen in https://mastodon.world/@auschwitzmuseum/with_replies - note: they won't tell you about people who were exterminated because they were gay).
Those toots rightfully make viewers feel very sorry for what happened to those victims of WWII. Often they believe that they're doing everyone a favor by boosting such toots.
However, the real intention of the stream of sad stories, usualy with pictures, is to distract viewers from the genocide that is taking place *TODAY*. Thereby shamelessly abusing victims of the Holocaust.
🇮🇱 By boosting, you help Netanyahu and the Israeli Defence (Occupation) Forces.
As an example, Avner Shalev - Auschwitz Deputy Chairman (https://www.auschwitz.org/en/museum/auschwitz-council/iac-members/avner-shalev/), a long-time IDF soldier, wrote in https://www.yadvashem.org/about/former-chairmen/avner-shalev/if-everything-is-genocide.html (in2008, see also https://www.haaretz.com/2008-05-02/ty-article/if-everything-is-genocide/0000017f-e0e7-df7c-a5ff-e2ffcedb0000):
❝
Recently, yet another Hamas spokesperson compared the situation in Gaza to events during the Holocaust.
[...]
Language has power. The words we choose to use carry weight, and are meaningful. If we elect to label every event a "genocide," or equate every event with the Holocaust, then we detract from the real meaning of those words and reduce their ability to represent true horror.
Subsequently, when faced with a real incident of genocidal murder, people will be less likely ot [sic] be moved to act. If everything is genocide, nothing is genocide.
❞
The world is now faced with extensive proof of "a real incident of genocidal murder", as pointed out by numerous well-known organizations (including the ICJ and ICC, Amnesty International, Human Right Watch, Medicins sans Frontiers etc).
And notably the Auschwitz Memorial keeps denying it (see their unconditional pro-Israel statement here: https://infosec.exchange/@ErikvanStraten/113696541911571675, or at the second half of https://www.auschwitz.org/en/museum/auschwitz-council/).
Instead, the Auschwitz Memorial wants us to believe that "never again" does not apply to Palestinians or other Arabs. This is an utter disgrace.
Notes:
• I block anyone who follows me when they boost a toot by the Auschwitz Memorial/Museum.
• My grandfather was a Jew who barely survived WWII. His family was murdered by Nazis.

Israel menace l'Iran: ils détruiront toute aide militaire à destination de la Syrie. On présume qu'Erdogan et Israel ont l'intention d’envahir et de se partager le Liban et la Syrie. Les Palestiniens? Qu'ils crèvent.
I was asked about trustworthy sources for donations in the #lebanon region.
So here are two important emergency response and humanitarian aid agencies - direct link:

91 year old Ali Kdouh chose to stay with his herd in Nabatiyeh, south #Lebanon. The Israelis killed him yesterday after pummelling the area for 2 months. Ali was older than #Israel itself, but none of that matters of course because Israel continues to enjoy unlimited support by the Americans and Germans.
Ca. 80 jaar geleden vonden veel Joden, puur vanwege hun afkomst, de dood - mede vanwege de mening van menig Nederlander, die ongeveer zo geklonken zal hebben:
❝
ik wil me niet verbinden met lieden die menen dat Duitsland genocide bedrijft
❞
Aan de lopende band vinden *nu* veel Palestijnen, puur vanwege hun afkomst, de dood - opnieuw mede vanwege de mening van menig Nederlander. Zoals van Theodor Holman (*) vandaag in https://www.parool.nl/columns-opinie/ik-heb-geen-respect-en-ik-wil-me-niet-verbinden-met-lieden-die-menen-dat-israel-genocide-bedrijft~bfd5e075/:
❝
ik wil me niet verbinden met lieden die menen dat Israël genocide bedrijft
❞
Verderop schrijft Theodor Holman:
❝
Dus zegt iemand: “Vertel eens, waarom vindt u het geen genocide?” dan zweeft er zachtjes van mijn glimlachende diplomatenlipjes: “Het is een ingewikkeld probleem, waar we eens uitgebreid over moeten praten.”
Ik weet namelijk dat discussiëren geen zin heeft.
❞
Als een deel van de Israëliërs (met voor miljarden dollars aan westerse wapens) al tientallen jaren Palestijnen van hun land verdrijft (steeds vaker met extreem geweld en ouderwets uithongeren) is het inderdaad een ingewikkeld probleem hoe je het volstrekt buitenproportionele geweld van de IDF en kolonisten zou kunnen rechtvaardigen.
Ook als een deel van die Palestijnen hun eigen land en zichzelf met grof geweld (zónder bommenwerpers, tanks, drones en AI) daartegen verweert: dát is namelijk de zelfverdediging die aan de orde is.
En inderdaad, zolang mensen (ook met zelfverklaarde diplomatenlipjes) *weigeren* om de waarheid onder ogen te zien, heeft discussiëren totaal geen zin.
(*) Sowieso lijkt Theodor Holman geen verbinder: https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodor_Holman#Controversieel

Israel is bombing areas near Beirut’s International Airport as planes filled with civilians prepare to take off. Imagine the global outcry if a similar scene were happening in Ukraine. But since it's happening in Lebanon, hardly anyone notices.

UN Human Rights Council-appointed Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese officially proposes the suspension of Israel as a member of the UN.

This is genocide. Israel is proud of it. Televised. Advertised. Undisguised. And the entire world can see it but is doing nothing to stop it.

Invaders, Occupiers, Thieves, Murderers, who don’t care about the hostages from 7th October last year; who used that as an excuse to commit genocide, with the support of UK, USA, Germany and others.
You can be certain #israel is not finished this, and won’t as long as they have support from other countries.
Telling people to ‘move to other countries, while simultaneously not permitting anyone to leave Gaza….
‘Splain to me exactly how that works?
Oh, you mean they get shot if they try to leave. 🎯
Other countries in the region should beware - even having signed agreements with #israel will not spare them. #Egypt #Jordan

„Local news station Al Jadeed aired footage from the scene — a collection of chalets that had been rented by various media outlets — showing collapsed buildings and cars marked PRESS covered in dust and rubble. The Israeli army did not issue a warning prior to the strike.“
#Israel destroyed the Ottoman-era market a few days ago and now destroyed the Ottoman-era bldg housing the Nabatiyeh municipality, killing the mayor and many more. They committed the 3rd massacre in the biblical city of Qana in 3 decades.
Since our ruins matter more than our lives: if they expand their bombardment of the Bekaa it will almost certainly lead to the collapse of the temples of Jupiter and Bacchus/Dionysus, two of the largest, best preserved Roman temples in the world. #Lebanon
More than 400,000 children in Lebanon have been displaced in the past three weeks, a top official with the U.N. children’s agency said Monday, warning of a “lost generation” in the small country grappling with multiple crises and now in the middle of war.
"What struck me is that this war is three weeks old and so many children have been affected"
