Ein Standpunkt von Jochen Mitschka.Amira Hass veröffentlichte am 4. Juni einen Meinungsartikel in Haaretz, in dem sie erklärte, dass Zerstörung, Hunger und Tod in Gaza Israels Niederlage seien. Sie reiht sich damit ein in die Menge jener Analysten, welche Israel ein ähnliches Schicksal voraussagen wie den Franzosen, welche auch, übrigens dank Folter, eine große Schlacht gegen die Unabhängigkeitsbewegung Algeriens gewannen, nur um dann den Befreiungskrieg, auch wegen der Unmenschlichkeit der kolonialen Kriegführung, zu verlieren. Vielsagend für die westliche Geschichtsschreibung ist, dass Wikipedia Widerstandskampf gegen die Tyrannei Frankreichs als „Terrorismus“ bezeichnet(1). Aber zurück zu Amira Hass.Sie schreibt, dass der jüdische Staat besiegt wurde, weil seine Politiker und Beamten dafür sorgen, dass zwei Millionen dreihunderttausend Menschen hungern und verdursten müssen. Israel sei besiegt worden und werde immer noch besiegt, nicht wegen der Tatsache, dass zu Beginn des neunten Monats dieses Krieges die Hamas noch nicht gestürzt wurde. Sondern als Symbol der Niederlage stünde für immer die Tatsache, dass israelischen Führer, Kommandeure und Soldaten, Tausende von palästinensischen Zivilisten getötet und verwundet haben und im Gazastreifen eine noch nie dagewesene Zerstörung und Verwüstung anrichteten. Weil die israelische Luftwaffe wissentlich Gebäude bombardiert hat, in denen Kinder, Frauen und alte Menschen lebten. Weil die Menschen in Israel glaubten, dass es keinen anderen Weg gäbe. Weil ganze Familien ausgelöscht wurden.Der jüdische Staat, so Hass weiter, sei besiegt worden, weil seine Politiker und Beamten dafür sorgten, dass sich in Gaza Hautkrankheiten und Darmentzündungen ausbreiten. Die einzige Demokratie im Dschungel sei mit überwältigender Mehrheit besiegt worden, weil ihre Armee Hunderttausende von Palästinensern vertreibe und dann in immer kleineren Gebieten konzentriert, die als sichere humanitäre Zonen bezeichnet werden, um sie dann dort zu bombardieren und zu beschießen. Weil Tausende von dauerhaft behinderten Menschen und Kindern ohne erwachsene Begleitung in diesen humanitären Zielgebieten eingepfercht sind und sehr leiden.„Weil sich dort Müllberge auftürmen und die einzige Möglichkeit, sie zu entsorgen, darin besteht, sie in Brand zu stecken, wobei giftige Abgase freigesetzt werden. Weil in den Straßen Abwässer und Exkremente fließen und Massen von Fliegen die Augen versperren. Weil die Menschen nach Kriegsende in zerstörte Häuser voller nicht explodierter Munition zurückkehren werden, deren Boden mit giftigen Gefahrstoffen gesättigt ist. Weil Tausende von Menschen, wenn nicht noch mehr, an chronischen, lähmenden und tödlichen Krankheiten erkranken werden, die auf dieselbe Verschmutzung und diese giftigen Substanzen zurückzuführen sind.“(1)Weiter führt sie aus, dass Israel den Krieg verlor, weil viele der engagierten und tapferen medizinischen Teams im Gazastreifen, Ärzte und Ärztinnen, Krankenschwestern und -pfleger, Krankenwagenfahrer und Sanitäter und ja, auch Menschen, die die Hamas unterstützten oder auf der Gehaltsliste ihrer Regierung standen, durch israelische Bomben oder Beschuss getötet wurden. Weil Kinder und Studenten wertvolle Studienjahre verloren haben. Weil Bücher und öffentliche und private Archive in Flammen aufgingen, wobei Manuskripte von Geschichten und Forschungsarbeiten für immer verloren gingen, ebenso wie Originalzeichnungen und Stickereien von Künstlern aus Gaza, die unter den Trümmern begraben oder beschädigt wurden. Außerdem könne man kann nicht erfassen, was der psychische Schaden, der Millionen von Menschen zugefügt wurde, noch bewirken wird.... hier weiterlesen: https://apolut.net/israel-gewinnt-voelkermord-aber-verliert-den-krieg-von-jochen-mitschka Hosted on Acast.

Laws Audio Sources May 5, 2024 Al Jazeera English on Instagram (@aljazeeraenglish) Imran Khan: If you are watching this prerecorded report, then Al Jazeera has been banned in the territory of Israel. On April the first, the Knesset, the Israeli parliament, passed a law that allowed the Prime Minister to ban Al Jazeera. He's now enacted that law. Let me just take you through some of the definitions. Within the law, they've banned our website, including anything that has the option of entering or accessing the website, even passwords that are needed whether they're paid or not, and whether it's stored on Israeli servers or outside of Israel. The website is now inaccessible. They're also banning any device used for providing content. That includes my mobile phone. If I use that to do any kind of news gathering, then the Israelis can simply confiscate it. Our internet access provider, the guy that simply hosts aljazeera.net, is also in danger of being fined if they host the website. The Al Jazeera TV channel [is] completely banned. Transmission by any kind of content provider is also banned and holding offices or operating them in the territory of Israel by the channel. Also, once again, any devices used to provide content for the channel can be taken away by the Israelis. It's a wide ranging ban. We don't know how long it'll be in place for, but it does cover this territory of the state of Israel. May 5, 2024 Al Jazeera English on YouTube Cyril Vanier: So what does the war look like, as presented by Israeli media to Israelis? Gideon Levy: Very, very simple picture. We are the victims. We are the only victims, as usual. There was the 7th of October, and we will stick to the 7th of October, which was almost the Holocaust in the eyes of most of the Israelis and this 7th of October enables us and legitimizes us to do whatever we want in Gaza. Gaza doesn't interest us. Gaza is Hamas and Hamas, Gaza. And therefore, we should punish them all, and if possible, even kill them al, destroy them all, and we will. We have no interest to see what's the suffer[ing] of Gaza, what's the punishment of Gaza, what the innocent people of Gaza are going through. We are only interested in the brave soldiers, the hostages and the victims of the 7th of October. That's our world, and that's the world that the Israeli media as a whole is describing to its viewers for seven months now, seven days a week, 24 hours a day. Only this, you don't see Gaza. April 10, 2024 House Foreign Affairs Committee Witnesses: Samantha Power, Administrator, U.S. Agency for International Development Clips 47:15 Samantha Power: Again, you had very little, almost no child malnutrition before October 7, and you now have a massive spike. And particularly in the north, one in three kids are suffering from malnutrition. And again, the reports of famine also spreading to the south. It makes sense because so little assistance has gotten in commensurate to the needs of more than 2 million people. 1:13:55 Samantha Power: My understanding - this is something that Secretary Blinken is managing and you'll have a chance I'm sure to engage him on - but the national security memorandum 20 that was issued not long ago is taking 620 I and those elements into consideration. I think that report is due out in early May. 1:41:40 Samantha Power: You know well, because you've been in so many of these countries, we don't have an NGO out there -- This is not your traditional UN agency, where you can have like schools in a box, teachers in a box, health workers in a box. Hamas was the state and Hamas won the election back in the day. And Hamas had far too much influence on certain individuals, or even certain individuals were, it seems, potentially part of Hamas. But the fact is, the administration of schools and health systems was UNRWA. There's not an NGO or another UN agency that could perform the function of a State like that, or at least I haven't encountered one in my years of humanitarian service. 2:02:20 Samantha Power: One little parenthetical is, Israel, about a month ago, in light of the horrific allegations, made a decision that UNRWA could not participate in convoys to the north - humanitarian convoys. But what that meant was, fundamentally there could be no convoys to the north because you can't, as bombs are falling and kinetic operations are underway and terrorists are being pursued, suddenly invent an entire humanitarian infrastructure. 2:17:20 Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-TX): I want to ask you obviously about the very urgent situation humanitarian situation in Gaza. In your testimony, you said that the entire population of Gaza is living under the threat of famine. News reports came out recently that certain USAID officials sent a cable to the National Security Council warning that famine is already likely occurring in parts of the Gaza Strip. According to the report "famine conditions are most severe and widespread in northern Gaza, which is under Israeli control." Do you think that it's plausible or likely that parts of Gaza and particularly northern Gaza, are already experiencing famine? Samantha Power: Well, the methodology that the IPC used is one that we had our experts scrub, it's one that's relied upon in other settings, and that is their assessments and we believe that assessment is credible. Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-TX): So there's a famine is already occurring there. Samantha Power: That is… Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-TX): Yes, okay. 2:18:14 Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-TX): More than half of the population of Gaza is under the age of 18, as you know, and are seriously affected by the lack of access to food and nutrition. Various organizations, including the United Nations, have warned that hundreds of thousands of Palestinian children may die if they don't get necessary food and nutrition assistance in just the next two to three weeks. Has USAID made such an assessment itself? And do you have a sense of how many such children might be at risk of dying if they don't get access to food and nutrition that's currently unavailable? Samantha Power: I do not have those assessments on hand. But I will say that in northern Gaza, the rate of malnutrition, prior to October 7, was almost zero. And it is now one in three, one in three kids. But extrapolating out is hard. And I will say just with some humility, because it is so hard to move around in Gaza, because the access challenges that give rise in part to the malnutrition are so severe, it is also hard to do the kind of scaled assessments that we would wish to do. But in terms of actual severe acute malnutrition for under fives, that rate was 16% in January, and became 30% in February, and we're awaiting the the March numbers, but we expect it to -- Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-TX): So it got markedly worse. Samantha Power: Markedly worse. But extrapolating and giving you the overall numbers… Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-TX): And just to be clear, I realize you're not part of the DoD or the State Department even, working on these issues diplomatically. But is it your understanding that humanitarian assistance and food assistance is not supposed to be denied even when countries are at war with each other? Because there is this argument that if Hamas would release the hostages, if they would surrender, that this would stop, but there's certain laws of war and certain conduct that nations are supposed to follow, and that includes allowing for humanitarian assistance. Samantha Power: Correct. I mean, I will say, of course, we all agree the hostages should be released, absolutely. An absolute outrage that they had been kept this long and the horror and terror for their families, the families of those individuals I can't even contemplate but yes, food must flow. Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-TX): Kids can't be starved because you have two groups that are at war with each other. Samantha Power: Food must flow and food has not flowed in sufficient quantities to avoid this imminent famine in the south and these conditions that are giving rise already to child deaths in the north. 2:29:20 Samantha Power: Again, trusted partners like World Food Programme and UNICEF and others have not reported that Hamas is getting in the way of distributing humanitarian assistance. And I will say, nor are we getting those reports from the IDF who are present on the ground in Gaza. Rep. Kathy Manning (D-NC): I have been getting reports, in fact, that Hamas is targeting, punishing or hindering Palestinians who are working with the international community to provide humanitarian assistance. You have not seen any evidence of that? Samantha Power: I would be very interested in those reports, but that is not what our partners are reporting back to us. Rep. Kathy Manning (D-NC): Do you believe that Hamas is benefiting from the aid that we are providing to Gaza? Samantha Power: I mean, I don't even know how to think about that question in this moment when Hamas is on the run and being pursued across Gaza. So, you know, I don't think they are in a position, because of what the IDF is doing, to benefit per se. Would family members of Hamas potentially begin getting access at a food distribution? You know, that's possible. It's going to civilians. Rep. Kathy Manning (D-NC): Do you have any idea how Hamas fighters are getting their food? Samantha Power: I don't. Rep. Kathy Manning (D-NC): So it is a difficult balance to strike when we desperately want to make sure that innocent Palestinians don't suffer and don't starve, but we don't want to do anything to embolden Hamas. 2:46:10 Rep. Michael Lawler (R-NY): There was already serious concern with the operations of UNRWA prior to the administration's decision to cut funding. Further this past November, I led floor debate to pass the Peace and Tolerance in Palestinian Education Act, which discussed the anti-Jewish and anti-Israel curricula taught to children in Gaza and the West Bank, a curriculum taught by UNRWA employees. So while yes, we appreciate the prohibition on new funding in January, this is long overdue, as there were clear and present issues that UNRWA that look like were ignored by the administration. 2:48:45 Samantha Power: Putting people who want to eliminate another people in power is not anything that anybody would have wished. But the effect is that the governing institution had significant leverage over the UN agency that was carrying out -- Rep. Michael Lawler (R-NY): A terrorist state that has had control over this agency, which is in part why we have pushed to defund it. Would you support future year Appropriations defunding UNRWA? Samantha Power: I don't know if you've had a chance to talk to the King of Jordan, for example. Rep. Michael Lawler (R-NY): I've had dinner with him, in Jordan. Samantha Power: And about what it is going to mean for the Jordanian people to have 2 million young people basically looking for where their schools are going to get support. Now, it may be that the Europeans and others come in and address this issue and it doesn't -- Rep. Michael Lawler (R-NY): Defunding UNWRA does not mean that we don't deal with humanitarian issues. It doesn't mean that we don't -- Samantha Power: No, no but it just is the school system. Rep. Michael Lawler (R-NY): It doesn't mean that we don't deal with it, it means we find a different vehicle by which to do this, but UNRWA itself has proven to be corrupt. Samantha Power: You've been here for much of the exchange. There's no NGO, there's no UN agency that creates school systems. There's no, like, U haul where there's a school system that you just deploy in Jordan, to educate 2.6 million Jordanian kids, it just doesn't work that way. Rep. Michael Lawler (R-NY): Respectfully, being snide about it is not actually solving the issue here. The reality is UNRWA is not the vehicle by which we should be sending American taxpayer dollars at this point. It's just not. Samantha Power: We will follow the law. Rep. Michael Lawler (R-NY): Right, my question to you was, do you support moving forward? Samantha Power: I'm describing the benefits of educating young people across the region and providing health services, and I'm not seeing a viable alternative. So I would suggest -- Rep. Michael Lawler (R-NY): So you believe we should continue? Samantha Power: I think, first of all, we don't know what Gaza is going to look like after this war ends. Hopefully, Hamas will be dismantled and new institutions will be in place whereby they will take care of educating their own young people, and you won't need a UN agency to do it. But it is extremely important that we look out for young people in Gaza, it is going to do nobody any favors for them not to have access to an education Rep. Michael Lawler (R-NY): No, the fact is, on October 7, part of the reason that you had that type of terrorist attack is because of the level of hatred and anti-semitism that is taught in schools in Gaza. That is part of the problem here. And UNRWA helped in terms of allowing for that to occur under the guise of a UN agency. It is disgusting. It is shameful, and the fact that we as the United States have helped support that organization helped fund it is an embarrassment. And that's why we fought to defund it. 3:00:00 Rep. Madeleine Dean (D-PA): I am hypercritical of the alleged 12 or 15, who may have been infiltrating as Hamas, who may have participated in the October 7, horrendous barbaric attack. But you don't throw everybody and all the good work out. Because I want to ask you, if we continue this pause, if the world said we will not help you UNRWA, your however many thousands of workers who are on the ground, who keep coming to work even when their whole families are killed, what will happen with famine in Gaza, if we just shut it down? No more UNRWA. By the way, they're not educating. We know that they can't even do that now. They have incredibly important vaccines and medical aid to to be a part of, but the essentialness of food and water. What happens if we continue this disinformation campaign of 'Defund UNRWA'? Samantha Power: Well, first, thank you for bringing some facts into the conversation that I probably should have raised before, including just the horrific loss of life for those who work for UNRWA. And in general, you know, more than 228 workers killed by IDF or in my IDF military operations to this point, including, most recently of course, the World Central Kitchen colleagues, devastatingly. And thank you also for reminding us all. UNRWA is an organization in Gaza alone of 13,000 people. The vast majority of those people have not been propagating hate but have been actually trying to educate young people. The literacy rate in Gaza-West Bank, I think, is something like 99%. It's one of the most effective literacy efforts in any of the places that USAID works. In terms of what would happen if the whole thing shut down....Right now, it looks like other countries are stepping up to avert that scenario. But, you know, I just cannot overstate how chaotic and how horrific the conditions in Gaza are. You've spoken to them. The visuals speak to the level of destruction. There's no work-around for the infrastructure that they provide. After the war, when there's a new administration of Gaza, if that comes about, obviously, that's itself extremely complicated. You know, the question of who is providing education as they try to rebuild virtually everything from scratch and the education and the health sector? You know, some of these questions will be will be addressed. But right now, there is no way to avert large scale famine without relying on the humanitarian backbone that has been enriched for decades, and that remains UNRWA today. We are going to follow the law, we are going to work through other partners. But, I started to say this earlier: even the government of Israel, which had banned UNRWA's participation in convoys, because of the food crisis - and US engagement, I hope - has now decided that UNRWA can in fact be part of convoys going to the North because they recognize there's just no other way. Rep. Madeleine Dean (D-PA): Right. And I want to commend to anybody to please meet with the director of UNRWA who is stationed in Rafah: a 20-plus-year US military veteran. I don't know how people stay at this kind of work with the risks that they are taking, but they are there. Music by Editing Production Assistance

Despite his best efforts threatening the lives of Congressional colleagues and their families, Jim Jordan didn't get to become Speaker of the House. Instead, his longtime protege and a major architect behind the Big Lie, Rep. Mike Johnson of Louisiana, is now third in line to the White House. Johnson answers to Jordan who answers to Trump. This essentially makes Trump third in line to the White House. Welcome to Trump's latest coup.   In this week's Q&A bonus episode, questions submitted by listeners at the Democracy Defender level and higher are focused on the Israel-Hamas War. Many questioned the timing of Hamas's sophisticated and well-planned terrorist attack. Why now? What role did Russia play? How does Matt Gaetz's successful bid (so far) to stop Ukraine aid factor in?   Given that we have so much grief and anger to process these days, more than usual, look out for a deep dive podcast in November on the importance of making art and how to take steps to begin your life as an artist. Art therapy has proven invaluable for veterans grappling with PTSD and has never been more important as we process our collective grief. This special podcast will be in a workshop-style and will help those seeking guidance on nurturing their creative side. We all have one. And it's needed now more than ever.   For the works cited in this week's bonus episode, look to the show notes below to find the relevant links and other resources.   To answer a request from a listener here on Patreon, below is a list of journalists and analysts covering the crisis as well as a list of book recommendations.

After Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu dismissed his defense minister for calling for a halt to government plans to gut the power of Israel's judiciary, hundreds of thousands of Israelis took to the streets, participating in spontaneous mass protests and setting bonfires in the street. The next day, after a general strike brought the economy to a halt, Netanyahu backtracked, announcing the Knesset would not vote on the first part of his government's judicial overhaul plan and that he would instead engage in negotiations with the opposition to forge consensus. To discuss these developments, Jewish Currents editor-in-chief Arielle Angel spoke with senior reporter Alex Kane, contributing editor Joshua Leifer, and contributing writer Elisheva Goldberg. They talked about how anti-occupation activists are relating to the mass protests, why the Israeli right is so intent on curbing judicial power, and the future of Netanyahu's coalition.

As the violence continues across Israel-Palestine, to help make sense of how we got here and what happens next, Rania Khalek is joined by Amira Hass, an Israeli journalist at Haaretz who is based in Ramallah and has spent years reporting from Gaza and the West Bank. Hass provides an in-depth analysis on the radicalization of Israeli Jewish society, which is becoming increasingly right-wing as the religious settler mentality is exported from the West Bank into Israeli cities. “Settler colonialism is part of Israeli DNA” with Israeli settlers being “a privatized arm of Israeli state violence.”  This is at the root of the constant aggression against Palestinians. And absent outside pressure, Israel will continue down an increasingly dangerous and eliminationist path.

When US-President Donald Trump revealed his much-awaited plan for peace for Israel and Palestine it was set to solve one of the world's longest-running conflict. But this “deal of the century” was not met with the same enthusiasm in Palestine as it was seen on Trump’s and Netanyahu’s faces – to say the least. Host Mark Leonard and our MENA experts Hugh Lovatt and René Wildangel are analysing in depth the “Peace Plan” and show how little there is actually in it for the Palestinians. “The proposal clearly challenges the internationally agreed parameters,” said the EU’s chief diplomat Josep Borrell.

Wir treffen Amira Hass in einem Cafe in al-Bireh/Ramallah. Sie ist die einzige bzw. letzte jüdisch-israelische Journalistin, die in den von Israel besetzten palästinensischen Gebieten lebt. Und das seit mehr als 25 Jahren. Zuerst zog sie in Folge der Oslo-Verträge nach Gaza, später in die Westbank. Wer über die Besatzung berichtet, müsse auch unter Besatzung leben, sagt die Autorin. Amira ist eine der bekanntesten und international renommiertesten Journalistinnen Israels. Sie erhielt zB den Menschenrechtspreis von "Reporter Ohne Grenzen" oder den Bruno-Kreisky-Preis für Verdienste um die Menschenrechte und schreibt regelmäßige Kolummnen für die Tageszeitung Haaretz. In Israel selbst wird sie oft angefeindet, ob ihrer angeblich "anti-israelischen" Berichterstattung. Amira ist die Tochter zweier Holocaustüberlebender. Warum sie froh ist, dass ihre Eltern heutzutage nicht mehr am Leben sind, erklärt sie im Gespräch. Mit Amira geht's um das tägliche Leben unter Besatzung: Wie gehen Palästinenser damit um? Wie haben sich die meisten damit arrangiert? Welche Rolle spielt die Palästinenerbehörde? Warum ist diese korrupt? Warum ist die PA ein "Subunternehmer" der israelischen Besatzungsmacht? Gibt es abseits der korrupten Elite noch eine Zivilgesellschaft? Amira berichtet, dass Palästinenser in der Westbank in sog. "pockets" leben müssen. Kleine, kaum miteinander verbundene Orte, die getrennt werden durch militärische Checkpoints und jüdische Siedlungen. Durch diese "pockets" gäbe es zahllose Lebensrealitäten für die besetzte Bevölkerung. Neben der Rolle von Fatah und Hamas, geht es um Besatzung als institutionelle Gewalt an sich. Amira erwartet von der Welt und insbesondere von Europa ein Umdenken: die andauernden Völkerrechtsbrüche der israelischen Regierungen, die illegalen Siedlungen müssten endlich beendet werden. Nur wie? Sicher nicht durch Bombenabwürfe auf Tel Aviv, scherzt Amira. Sie erklärt, warum die EU zB die Visafreiheit für Israelis beenden sollte, solange die Besatzung andauere. Hoffnung habe sie, angesichts des Rechtsrucks in Europa, nicht. Amira glaubt nicht, dass die kolonialistische Gesellschaft Israels sich in absehbarer Zeit ändern werde, was neben der Friedensbereitschaft auf palästinensischer Seite für ein Ende der Besatzung essentiell wäre. Auch eine "Ein-Staaten-Lösung" hält sie für unrealistisch... Das und einiges mehr in Folge 392 - wir haben sie am 10. September 2018 in al-Bireh/Ramallah aufgenommen.

"Yesterday I dreamt how the Nile rolled over its banksand I saw the Delta inscribed upon the waters.As I was still looking for other estuaries I suddenly beheldinterpretations on my palmsand between furrow and furrowa white line of snow stood outand the Delta was trampled by the running." Host Marcela Sulak reads an excerpt from the poem “We’re Children of Atlantis,” by Baghdad-born poet Amira Hess. Its allusions to Noah’s ark are fitting for the immanent season of rain, as well as for the parsha of Noah that was recently read in synagogue. Hess, not to be confused with journalist Amira Hass, was born in Baghdad, Iraq, and arrived in Israel in 1951, first living in an immigrant transit camp, and then moving to Jerusalem, where she still lives today. Her translator, Ammiel Alcalay, says of her poetry that it is often written in an almost hallucinatory language of the Prophets, but the demons that have come to inhabit their figures of speech reflect and refract other realities, like in a hall of mirrors. Sudden shifts in tone cut across thousands of years. Text:Keys to the Garden: New Israeli Writing. Edited by Ammiel Alcalay, City Lights, 1996.
