Al-Kahlout was arrested at gunpoint and was forced to leave his disabled daughter behind, his outlet reported, adding that Israeli soldiers allegedly beat and stripped Al-Kahlout and the others arrested with him.

"Congress should be working towards a lasting cease-fire to end Israel's deadly assault on Gaza, a hostage exchange, and a path to equality, justice, and safety for all Palestinians and Israelis. Not wasting precious time using antisemitism as an excuse to shut down free speech."

A few quotes from Rashid Khalidi 's The One Hundred Years' War on Palestine

On equality, moral legitimacy, and Zionism being a blood and soil Central European nationalism.

Gotta say, this book breaks it down 💯


@palestine @israel
@bookstodon

Imagining scholars looking back one hundred years from now, historian Zeev Sternhall asked, "When exactly did the Israelis understand that their cruelty towards the non-Jews in their grip in the Occupied Territories, their determination to break the Palestinians' hopes for independence, or their refusal to offer asylum to African refugees began to undermine the moral legitimacy of their national existence?"
The Palestinian he [Miki Zohar] said, "does not have the right of self-determination because he is not the proprietor of the land. I want him as a resident because of my honesty, as he was born here, he lives here, and I would never tell him to leave. I regret to say it, but they suffer from one major defect: they were not born Jews." This connection between between an exclusive right to land and peoplehoodis central to a specific type of "blood and soil" Central European nationalism, which is the ground from which Zionism sprang.

US dragging our feet since at least 1967... take a look. One Hundred Years War on Palestine by Rashid Khalidi.

Goldberg wanted to consult with his government, my father told me flatly. I was incredulous. How much consultation was needed to impose a ceasefire resolution? With a strange bitter smile, my father responded dispassionately in Arabic. "Don't you understand?" he said. "The Americans are giving the Israelis a little more time." ---

Hey book people, I would like to read up on the history of the Israel-Palestine conflict and am looking for book recommendations. Either English or German would be fine, and preferably written fairly recently (aka not 30 years ago).

No more of the same.
