“Belgium to recognize Palestine, sanction Israel”

https://www.politico.eu/article/belgium-to-recognize-palestine-sanction-israel/

But still “only … if Hamas releases all remaining Israeli hostages kidnapped in the Oct. 7, 2023 attack and the militant group ‘no longer has any role in managing Palestine’”

How odd: nothing about disbanding the IDF and ensuring that the Israeli government that is checks notes COMMITTING GENOCIDE no longer has any role managing Israel?

“In the meantime, Belgium will also impose ‘firm sanctions’ on the Israeli government, Prévot said. The measures include a ban on importing products from illegal settlements, a review of public procurement policies with Israeli companies and restrictions on consular assistance to Belgians living in illegal settlements.”

This part sounds good but I’ll believe it when I see it.

🇵🇸 Greta Thunberg, juste avant son départ pour Gaza avec la Global Sumud Flotilla ce 31 aout :

"La question que l'on doit se poser n'est pas de savoir pourquoi nous faisons cette mission.

La question est savoir pourquoi cette mission est nécessaire !

Pourquoi nos gouvernements n'interviennent-ils pas et ne respectent-ils pas le droit international ?"

In an exclusive interview with ECPS, Professor William Schabas, one of the world’s foremost authorities on genocide and international criminal law, warns that the Gaza crisis represents a “litmus test” for the credibility of international justice.

The case filed by South Africa against Israel at the ICJ is “arguably the strongest case of genocide ever brought before the Court.”

Gideon Levy: »Most of #Israel's Protest Movement Only Cares About the Lives of the #Gaza Hostages – Not of Palestinians.

Opposing total evil, one must stand for total humanity, which is almost non-existent in Israel. If it were fully moral, the protest movement would make its main concern the struggle against #genocide, along with the campaign for the release of the hostages«

"The killing of journalists in the Gaza war is its own genocide. According to the Costs of War Project, it marks the single deadliest conflict for journalists in world history.

By mid-August, Israel had killed up to 274 journalists, with 269 of them Palestinian, according to aggregate data from the Committee to Protect Journalists and the International Federation of Journalists."

"The Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs puts this staggering number in perspective: since the war in Gaza began on Putin’s birthday in 2023, more journalists have been killed than the combined total during the US Civil War, World War I, World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War — including related conflicts in Cambodia and Laos — the Yugoslav Wars of the 1990s and early 2000s, and the war in Afghanistan, post-9/11."
