“Israeli” Tourism Industry in Major Crisis Amid Ongoing Genocidal War


🔻 Tourism at a Standstill:
Israel's tourism industry, especially Christian pilgrimages, has ground to a halt due to the ongoing genocide. Experts doubt it will ever recover to its previous levels. In recent times, this has formed the basis of a thriving tourism industry, generating US$8.46 billion for “Israel”in 2019.

💸 Economic Impact:
Tourism historically makes up 3% of “Israel's” economy and employs 200,000 “Israelis”. However, travel advisories since October have led to a dramatic drop in international arrivals, plunging the industry into crisis.

🚫 Devastating Financial Strain:
Tour operators in “Israel” usually rely on reserves to weather periods of violence. But the pandemic has drained these reserves, leaving many businesses in dire straits.

🌍 Global Backlash:
The conflict is having long-term impacts on “Israeli” tourism. Global protests are calling for a ceasefire and sanctions. Even “Israel's” most loyal allies are withdrawing support for the Gaza bombings.

✈️ Flight Suspensions:
Air travel to “Israel” is plummeting. Before the conflict, 250 airlines operated in “Israel”; now, only 45 remain. Turkish Airlines and EasyJet plan to suspend flights by March 2025 and October 2024, respectively.

🔦 Highlighting Injustice:
This crisis exposes “Israel's” desperation to maintain an image of control. The international community must recognize the severe impact of Israel's actions. As Yossi Fattal, director of the Association of Inbound Tourism Organizers in Israel, stated, the conflict has severely hit tourism.

📣 Victory for Palestine Solidarity at Wesleyan University! 📣

After three weeks of unwavering dedication, the Wesleyan Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) have achieved a monumental agreement with the University, marking a significant step towards divestment from companies complicit in the oppression of Palestinians.

🏕️ Encampment Success:
Over 1,000 participants and 100 tents were part of the Wesleyan Palestine Solidarity Encampment, which was a powerful demonstration against Israel’s genocidal actions in Gaza. The encampment fostered a vibrant community of students united in their commitment to justice for Palestine.

🗣️ Powerful Statements:
• "We've seen that there’s been seven, almost eight months of horrifying slaughter in Palestine…" - SJP Organizer Rowan Roudebush
• "We could reject this idea that we have to be normal while we’re seeing these images of Palestinians being slaughtered." - Rowan Roudebush

📢 Demands Met:

1 Divestment Commitment: Wesleyan has agreed to disclose investments and work towards divestment from companies that support Israel’s military and apartheid regime.
2 Amnesty for Protestors: No disciplinary action will be taken against students who participated in the encampment.
3 Academic Boycott Discussions: An ad-hoc committee will explore boycotting Israeli academic institutions and related programs.

🌍 Global Solidarity:
This victory is part of a larger movement against Israel’s apartheid and occupation. As SJP organizer Liam Dorrien highlighted, “It makes you feel like a part of a much larger movement.”

📅 Continued Efforts:
The fight isn’t over. SJP will push for complete divestment by September, urging the University to uphold its values against the backdrop of ongoing atrocities in Palestine.

🔻A statement issued by the Islamic Resistance in Iraq

In the name of God, the most gracious, the most merciful
Permission has been given to those who fight because they have been wronged, and indeed, God is Able to grant them victory.

In continuation of our approach to resisting the occupation, in support of our people in Gaza, and in response to the massacres committed by the usurping entity against Palestinian civilians, including children, women, and the elderly, the Mujahideen of the Islamic Resistance in Iraq targeted, on Monday morning, May 27, 2024, a vital target in Eilat, “Umm al-Rashrash.” By drone, the Islamic Resistance confirms its continued destruction of enemy strongholds.
