    Jerusalem-based journalist and author Nathan Thrall has been awarded the 2024 Pulitzer Prize for General Nonfiction for his book, _A Day in the Life of Abed Salama: Anatomy of a Jerusalem Tragedy_. It tells the story of Israel's occupation of the West Bank through one Palestinian father's quest to seek answers and accountability after his 5-year-old son is involved in a deadly accident. We speak to Thrall about President Biden saying for the first time that he would not supply certain weapons to Israel to be used in an all-out invasion of Rafah. "It is too little, too late," Thrall says. "It is a step in the right direction, but the administration has said that it has not made a final determination even about these paused weapons." Thrall also discusses Israel's ceasefire talks with Hamas, anti-Netanyahu protests led by families of Israeli hostages, Israel's intensified crackdown in the West Bank, how criticism of Israel is conflated with antisemitism, and why debates over the future of a Palestinian state are an "enormous distraction from the reality on the ground" - that is, the Israeli occupation’s "system of domination that is extremely bureaucratic and elaborate, [that] has lasted for over half a century and [is] not going anywhere."

      In the US, AIPAC is ghost writing bills to make it a crime to be anti-Zionist. Equating that to anti-israel. Then it would be no different from saying anti-Nazi is anti-German.

      My mother fled Germany / Austria in 1938. There were signs everywhere in Vienna "Juden zuruck nach Palestina." "Jews return / go back to Palestine." Now the Jews are there it's "Juden raus von Palestina." "Jews get out of Palestine." Their enemies will never be contented whatever they do.

      HOW BOUT YOU CITIZEN OF THE WORLD.... do you put up fences AND walls AND security alarms AND call the police AND go for shooting lessons AND self defence classes AND arm yourself ..... WHEN YOU KNOW THAT YOUR LIFE IS IN DANGER ?
      WELL, In ISRAEL , that's called OCCUPATION, and is ILLEGAL in the eyes of the world WHEN THESE OCCUPIED AREAS POSE AN EXISTENTIAL THREAT TO ISRAELIS ! Every JEW has a price on his/her head, even the little children and babies in ISRAEL have prices on their heads. THE BOUNTY HUNTERS ARE COMING FOR YOU IF YOU ARE A JEW. These bounty hunters are called MARTYRS AND GET PAID BY THEIR GOVERNMENT TO GO KILL YOU IF YOU ARE ISRAELI. YES the same goverment that is ''""""OPPRESSED""""" by Israel yet has received refugee aid and status for ALL OF 75 YEARS !

Read an essay by one Right wing person today how to solve the Gaza problem. He/she said that all Palestinians left should be distributed among the Arab countries and then Israel and the US should band together and turn the entire Gaza strip into a first class beach front paradise for people to vacation from all over the world.

      People read and learn. For example, if you took the time to respond, you read through the comments. Students protest, and citizens vote with their conscience. In general, it creates awareness. If you believe in a higher power, being aware or indifferent will define the kind of person you are. You could make donations to organizations like 'INARA' to help kids affected by the actions of a genocidal government. Now you have choices to make.

The Israeli government should respect that but why would they, when they have total control of the US government? Heck, they were given 300 nuclear weapons. No wonder they act so entitled, like crybullies. The more ideas are brought forth, the more they can be debated, making it easier for people to see the need to boycott the current administration, and likely, the next one too.

Netanyahu said Israel will finish what it started. He's a true psychopath and has been purposely murdering civilians, denying that is wilful ignorance.

    After seeing Nathan's appearance on Adam Conover's podcast Factually, I felt compelled to read his book. I finished it about a month ago, and it truly surpassed my expectations. He weaves the life stories of numerous people involved in a single tragic event, providing cultural and historical context to who the characters are, what their life is like, and how apartheid impacts them. Maps are interspersed in the pages that help visualize the distances and proximity involved. The story itself is one that is so deeply human and transcends every difference we have with people we see as others. I don't think the book is without flaw, but I see that is purely a factor of the amount Nathan has to grow as a writer. In terms of the subject and overall presentation, it is worth the read.

    What’s becoming so obvious to people now is that colonialism has never ended just rebranded with different terms. From Natives indigenous people being called “savages” in the old days to now being called “terrorist” by neocolonialists who are neoliberals, neoconservatives, and zionist.
    1) Savages is now “terrorist”
    2) Civilizing them is now “bringing them democracy”
    We can all see Israel is a colonial project being supported by former and current colonials such as U.S, UK, and others who also control territories of indigenous natives in Caribbean Islands, Pacific Islands, Hawaii, and many more.
    The liberation of Palestine will definitely give RISE to many indigenous natives around the world to free themselves from western domination. This is the underline ripple effect that the U.S government and its puppet allies don’t want to happen.

    Prior to the 1917 “Balfour Declaration" of the British government's intent to establish a Jewish homeland in Palestine, the British govt had announced plans set up a Zionist state in their _Kenya_ colony. 3.5 million acres of the finest Kenyan land were demarcated for this purpose.
    The plan fell apart due to different reasons, including the fact that some of the colonizers already settled in Kenya were straight up antisemitic and opposed the idea of giving prime Kenyan land (that they themselves had their eyes on) to the Jews, proposing that the Israeli state be set up in Palestine.
    Kenyans would be experiencing exactly what Palestinians are going through today, if history had played out just a bit differently. Indeed, freedom fighters in Kenya (including participants in the _Mau Mau_ liberation movement that was agitating for the return of Kenyan land appropriated by colonial settlers) were branded terrorists and their movements outlawed by colonial-era legislation, until 20 years ago, when the legislation was scrapped.

      The Nazis also had their 'Madagascar Plan' which had the goal of creating a Jewish ethnostate in Madagascar at its heart. They wished to create somewhere for the Jewish people to go to push them out of Europe.
      They had originally considered Palestine but that was considered tricky as it was under British control at the time. The European fascist nations had more respect between each other than the locals they were going to ethnically cleanse and colonise of course.

    As long as the United States of America has its back,
    Because Israel has a 3rd option,
    Which is to continue on the path that it is going down right now,
    A slow and de facto annexation of the West Bank 🏦
    A takeover of Palestinian land 🇵🇸
    A constriction of Palestinians into small walled off communities like Gaza,
    A deepening of the system of control and domination that human rights organizations like Amnesty International,
    Human Rights Watch,
    Alhak and Bet Selum
    have all described as a system of apartheid,
    A heartless and merciless system that keeps grinding people down ❤
    Rather than addressing Israeli system of apartheid,
    Israel would very much like everybody to debate
    What is the future utopia in Palestine that we all like ?
