🇵🇸 Israel-Palestine war: Don’t be fooled. Biden is fully signed up to genocide in Gaza | Middle East Eye – Jonathan Cook
The White House needs a cover story to obscure its complicity. In desperation, it is once again resurrecting the long-dead two-state solution
But if Gaza was not actually occupied before Israel’s current ground invasion, how does Washington explain the Israeli blockade of the tiny enclave for the past 16 years? How did Israel manage to seal off Gaza’s land borders, block access to Gaza’s territorial waters, and patrol Gaza’s skies 24/7?
The reality is that Gaza has not experienced a day free of Israeli occupation since 1967. All that Israel did 18 years ago when it pulled out its Jewish settlers, was to run the occupation more remotely, exploiting new developments in weapons and surveillance technologies

🇵🇸 US explicitly involved in committing war crimes against civilians in the Gaza Strip | EuroMed HR Monitor
Geneva – In a new statement following the revelation that the United States has supplied Israel with 100 2,000-pound “bunker buster” bombs since the start of Israel’s genocide in the Gaza Strip on the Gaza Strip, Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor condemned the US action.
The aforementioned weapons are fortification-piercing bombs, with a warhead (BLU-109) that is known for its ability to deeply penetrate fortified structures before detonating and causing significant casualties among civilians. As such, their use is strictly forbidden in civilian and residential areas, Euro-Med Monitor said.

🇵🇸 Dutch rights groups take government to court over arms to Israel | Middle East Eye –
Human rights groups are challenging the Dutch government in court, arguing it is complicit in alleged Israeli violations of international law in Gaza by supplying F-35 fighter jet parts.
The suit, brought by Oxfam Novib, PAX and The Rights Forum, comes after a Dutch newspaper reported that the government allowed a delivery of the components despite foreign ministry lawyers warning that Israel was committing serious violations of humanitarian law.
The components, made by the #US-based #LockheedMartin, are stored at a warehouse in the #Netherlands and then shipped to #Israel and other countries.
"The government allowed itself to be blackmailed by Israel and the US - at the expense of Palestinian lives," The Rights Forum has said.

🇵🇸 Edward Heath was pushed by the US into exchanging the iconic Palestinian freedom fighter Leila Khaled for dozens of western hostages after the world's most spectacular multiple aircraft hijacking in September 1970.
Leila Khaled was at the centre of a crisis sparked by the seizure of five civilian airliners by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.
The PFLP blew up three of the aircraft for the television cameras at a disused RAF airstrip in the Jordanian desert, and 56 US and European passengers were used to bargain for the release of seven Palestinian prisoners in Britain, Germany and Switzerland.
One was Leila Khaled, who had been handed over to the British authorities at Heathrow after an attempt to commandeer an El Al flight was foiled and her fellow hijacker, Patrick Arguello, a Nicaraguan, was shot dead by Israeli guards.

Curator's note: this may be the first-ever US published Palestine solidarity poster
This image was used to advertise a 52-minute black and white film entitled “Revolution Until Victory” that came out in 1973 from Single Spark Films.
Single Spark Films emerged out of the film production company called California Newsreel, after the group split up. Single Spark Films was associated with a Marxist group in the San Francisco Bay area called the Bay Area Revolutionary Union.
The photo might, MIGHT have been taken by noted photographer and Palestine activist Jeff Blankfort in Jordan's Schneller refugee Camp when he was a photographer working with Liberation News Service in #Jordan in 1970-71.

🇵🇸 Washington lifts 'hold' on shipment of 500lb bombs for Israel | The Craddle
The US government has lifted a two-month hold on shipments of 500-pound bombs for Israel, according to US officials who spoke with Reuters on 10 July.
In early May, the White House announced a hold on a shipment of 1,800 2,000-pound bombs and 1,700 500-pound bombs to Israel, citing “concerns” these would be used to flatten Gaza’s southernmost city of Rafah, where over a million Palestinians had taken refuge at the time.
On detonation, a 500-pound bomb can severely harm or kill anyone within a 20-meter radius, according to the Project on Defense Alternatives (PDA). A 2,000-pound bomb has a destruction radius of 35 metres.

🇵🇸 The World Court has ended the Oslo ruse - Kraig Morkhiber for Mondoweiss
The ICJ’s ruling that international law protects the rights of Palestinians, and they need not negotiate with their oppressors for those rights, dealt a definitive blow to decades of Western efforts to situate Israel outside the reach of the law.
Israel is on trial for genocide in the International Court of Justice (the #ICJ). The Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (#ICC) has requested arrest warrants for Israel’s leaders for crimes against humanity. Millions of people across the globe, Palestinians, Jews, Muslims, Christians, students, workers, and others, are mobilized to challenge Israeli settler-colonialism, #apartheid, and #genocide. The 76-year-old wall of impunity, built brick-by-brick by the #US, the #UK, and other Western governments, is beginning to crumble.

🇵🇸 Exposed: The US and Canadian Funding Behind Israeli Soldiers Accused of Rape
Cuffed and blindfolded 24 hours a day. Confined to animal pens. Attacked by dogs. This is reportedly the treatment of Palestinian detainees at Sde Teiman, an Israeli military base in the #NaqabDesert. While claims of torture and abuse at the facility began circulating in December, the Israeli military did not open an investigation into the allegations until July 29, when 10 Israeli soldiers were detained on suspicion of sexually abusing a detainee
MintPress uncovers the financial and political infrastructure, including from the #US and #Canada, backing these soldiers through tax-exempt organizations and crowdfunding platforms. This marks a disturbing shift in global support for human rights violations, now extending even to those implicated in the Israeli military’s acts of #SexualViolence.
