Looks like the start of something turning out nice

Called
A Cartography of Genocide.
Forensic Architecture

I've looked at a bit of it. Done to a high standard with a lot of visuals of how Gaza has been changed and remodelled by IDF
I've posted up about the head of Forensic Architecture before.
Eyal Weizmann. An Israeli architect. I highly recommend his book on Architecture and Occupation of the West Bank
Hollow Land
Verso Books is the largest independent, radical publishing house in the English-speaking world, publishing one hundred books a year.www.versobooks.com
A fascinating look at how using the skills and practise of an Architect to shine new light on how occupation works. Even in mundane architectural details and planning rules.
In this new work on Gaza they make clear using visuals how the IDF have reconstructed Gaza for occupation. And how the destruction is not haphazard.
Using visuals - cartography- is good way to make clear how the IDF / Israeli government are setting about in systematic way to change Gaza.
The member states that are intervening aren't the ones with any actual power over things. That shit starmer isn't going to do a bloody thing bar witter about both sides and international law while he ignores the uk's own responsibilitiesHer summary to the report Colonial Erasure:
In the present report, the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in
the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967, Francesca Albanese, examines the
unfolding horrors in the occupied Palestinian territory. While the wholesale
destruction of Gaza continues unabated, other parts of the land have not been spared.
The violence that Israel has unleashed against the Palestinians post-7 October is not
happening in a vacuum, but is part of a long-term intentional, systematic, State-
organized forced displacement and replacement of the Palestinians. This trajectory
risks causing irreparable prejudice to the very existence of the Palestinian people in
Palestine. Member States must intervene now to prevent new atrocities that will
further scar human history
I think the organisation of the UN is pretty useless, especially with the way the Security Council works, but it has some really good people working away in its agencies who aren't afraid to tell it as it is. People like Albanese are the people with true leadership qualities and unlike Starmer, Biden etc possess integrity and decency.That's the problem with the UN. It keeps doing its job and sticking up for the rights of Palestinians.
UNWRA , UN special rapporteurs.
All there to attack/ undermine poor old Israel.
For all its flaws UN is an organisation that somehow produces good reports and gives people like Palestinians some support.
Support lacking from individual states like mine the UK
Daniella Weiss and her ilk would not agree with youProblem for Israel is that for a settler state to succeed long term it must to the best of its abilities exterminate the indigenous population to the greatest degree possible to achieve stability. The USA, Australia, Canada, Uruguay and Argentina spring to mind. Where however the indigenous population manage to survive in number it's all over for the settlers as in South Africa, Algeria, Indonesia and so on.
Israel to survive and succeed needs to kill and displace and kill as many as possible. Is that feasible and acceptable in the 21st century as it was a century or two earlier in Australia, USA and Argentina? Of course not.
Israel has no long term future, it will be killed by its own addiction to killing.
Please don't mention that fascist's name. Seldom have I seen a person that exudes such evil.Daniella Weiss and her ilk would not agree with you
okay.I cant even begin to imagine who she thinks she is.Please don't mention that fascist's name. Seldom have I seen a person that exudes such evil.
The International Court of Justice has warned of a plausible risk of genocide against Palestinians by the Israeli authorities. Continuing to allow some arms transfers is not in line with international legal standards and demonstrates a dire need for accountability in arms transfers.

Our government must immediately stop all arms sales to Israel
The UK is helping to fuel the horrific attacks in Gaza and Lebanon by allowing arms sales to Israel, despite the clear risk that they are being used to commit war crimes. Suspending just 30 out of 350 licenses is not enough. The UK is still selling parts for F-35 fighter jets that have been dropping bombs on Gaza for months.
Done, although my MP is Rachel fucking Reeves so I don't hold out any hope of her doing the decent thing.And Amnesty International have one set up to email ones MP
Email your MP now and demand they stop the UK from transferring arms to Israel
The human rights violations taking place in Gaza are at catastrophic levels. Despite this, the UK still hasn’t suspended all transfers of arms to Israel - there should be no loopholes and no workarounds. It's time to remind our MPs to champion human rights. Email your MP today...www.amnesty.org.uk

As a side note , very sad to hear about the death of John Rose. The first thing I ever read on Israel that began to challenge my support for it , as a late teen , was his pamphlet Israel the Hijack Sate that the IS ( forerunners of the SWP) brought out.
He was the author of a very good book The Myths of Zionism and also enabled the publishing in English of The Ghetto Fight by Marek Edelman. Edelman was a Bundist and member of the Warsaw Ghetto command team who later dedicated the memory of the ghetto to the Palestinian cause.
