Context:

📌Raphael Lemkin was a Polish lawyer of Jewish descent who is known for coining the term genocide and campaigning to establish the Genocide Convention.

📌The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention was founded to fill a gap in the global prevention protocols. It was built to be responsive and flexible, transparent and judicious, nonpartisan and vocal. Its founders believe that peoples in crisis need immediate action and direct support, even when the international community has its head in the sand.

They put out this statement about the Nuiserat massacre via their Twitter/X account:

The Lemkin Institute condemns the massacre carried out by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) in the Nuseirat refugee camp last week. While we welcome the rescue and return of four Israeli hostages, the cost of the rescue is unacceptable if it means killing 276 Palestinians, including over 60 children, and wounding another 698 more.

We reiterate that the safest and most ethical means of ensuring the return of hostages held in the Gaza Strip is through diplomacy and negotiation, as we saw demonstrated in November 2023. Israel has had many chances to sign a ceasefire in exchange for the return of remaining hostages since then.

We emphasize the importance of negotiating a permanent ceasefire and the release of Israeli hostages from the Gaza Strip along with the thousands of Palestinians arbitrarily detained by Israel.

Last week, on June 8th, the IDF infiltrated the densely packed refugee camp and recklessly bombarded the heart of the residential neighborhood. Further, according to eyewitness accounts, the IDF reportedly committed perfidy, disguising themselves as displaced Palestinians and utilizing a humanitarian vehicle to infiltrate the camp.

Slaughtering hundreds of Palestinians attempting to buy basic goods from the market in the name of retrieving four hostages is unbecoming of a professional military force. It is also illegal and immoral. Western nations celebrating this operation, including the Biden Administration in the United States, refuse to recognize the humanity of Palestinians, further demonstrating the depravity that has characterized the continued support of Israel by Western nations.

We reiterate our condemnation of the massacre carried out by the IDF in Nuseirat and emphasize that a permanent ceasefire and mutual release of hostages is the only option to prevent the continuation of war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide against the people of Gaza.

Hebrew channel:

The Ministry of Defense announces: the all-time record in the defense exports of the State of Israel has been broken - more than $13 billion in 2023 (about NIS 49 billion)

A jump in the scope of the defense export of air defense systems, which in 2023 was 36% of the volume of transactions, compared to 19% in 2022.

The huge deal for the sale of the "Arrow" system to Germany is not included in this amount, and will be included in the figures for the year 2024.

In the defense industries there is a serious concern: the war will harm the scope of the defense exports of the State of Israel in the future.

Comment: Are they saying that the EU push toward war with Russia is something Israel is going to benefit from?
