RE: Palestine Group (New) ＊pls Boost＊
TWIMC - As you may know, the fediverse group for #Palestine interested people "palestine(at)a.gup.pe" is now gone.
There are alternatives such as FediGroups or TagPush, already contacted, but no reaction till now. No wonder they're busy.
But we don't want to wait longer, and it turned out that a Japanese server "fedibird" kindly offered a group account for us:
@npub1kpt…uw4u
It functions almost like the late a.gup.pe group, only you need to follow it in order to be boosted, not only to receive the group post.
One other note: the account holder is @npub1xyg…yl7t (AK) and can moderate e.g. delete posts and block accounts if (strictly) needed. Better than 100% automated bot.
You know, it truly would "work" with a certain number of followers, and we hope you all to 1)consider following the new group, and 2)spread this info as broad as possible.
Sincerely

>> While there may be increasing competition across the West, Germany remains unmatched in its unconditional support for the Israeli state and its brutal repression of anyone who dares to speak out against Israel’s crimes in Palestine. What is going on? In this urgent collection, leading authors ... explore Germany’s pathological commitment to the state of Israel. With essays on topics ranging from the country’s memory culture (Erinnerungskultur) around the Holocaust and German “staatsräson” to the twin phenomena of philo- and antisemitism that permeate contemporary German institutions and the self-destruction of German cultural institutions in the name of defending the Israeli state, this collection provides the most thorough and damning account of German Zionism available today.

Israel levels Zeitoun, Gaza’s largest neighbourhood, forcibly displacing its residents (Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor, 2025-08-17)

>> For six days, Israeli occupation forces have been razing the #Zeitoun neighbourhood, southeast of Gaza City, flattening approximately 400 homes with explosive-laden robots and aerial bombardment.
>> This wide-scale military operation mirrors similar assaults in Rafah, Khan Younis, and northern Gaza, aimed at obliterating entire communities and forcibly displacing all who remain. These actions form part of the genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip…

>> Julia Sebutinde, the Ugandan vice-president of the International Court of Justice (#ICJ), has said God "is counting on me to stand on the side of Israel" and the signs of the "end times" are "being shown in the Middle East".
>> Early last year, Sebutinde was the only judge on a 17-member ICJ panel that ruled it was "plausible" that Israel was committing genocide in Gaza, who voted against all six measures adopted by the court.
>> And in July 2024, she was again the sole dissenter when a 15-judge panel found that Israel's decades-long occupation of the Palestinian territories was "unlawful".

>> The New Humanitarian obtained a read-out of the confidential meeting emailed on 7 August to the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (#IASC) – the highest-level coordination forum in the international humanitarian system, composed of #UN agencies and major NGOs.
The read-out was co-signed by Joyce Msuya, the second-most senior official at the UN’s emergency aid coordination body, #OCHA, which did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The officials’ willingness to pursue cooperation marks a significant shift in position for aid groups and the UN, whose relief chief warned in May that the #GHF model exposes thousands of people to harm, and sets an “unacceptable precedent” for aid delivery around the world as it violates core humanitarian principles…

>> [#ICJ or #ICC] cannot fight for global justice alone, nor were they designed to. Without an independent enforcement mechanism, international law functions as a voluntary system, dependent on states … to carry it out…
>> National courts, on the other hand, often don’t face the same resource constraints and can go after perpetrators up and down the chain of command… While states also face their own political pressures, they do not have to perform the ICC’s difficult dance of appeasing its many patrons…

A reminder.

>> The analysis, which has not been previously reported, was conducted by a bureau within the U.S. Agency for International Development and completed in late June. It examined 156 incidents of theft or loss of U.S.-funded supplies reported by U.S. aid partner organizations between October 2023 and this May.

>> The change to the aims of the conference, due to be held between 17 and 20 June, marks a retreat from an earlier vision that it would mark a joint declaration of recognition of Palestine as a state by a large group of countries, including permanent UN security council members France and the UK.

"Berlin’s immigration authorities are moving to deport four young foreign residents on allegations related to participation in protests against Israel’s war on Gaza, an unprecedented move that raises serious concerns over civil liberties in #Germany.
"The deportation orders, issued under German migration law, were made amid political pressure and over internal objections from the head of the state of #Berlin's immigration agency. The internal strife arose because three of those targeted for deportation are citizens of European Union member states who normally enjoy freedom of movement between E.U. countries."

“Over the past year and a half, I’ve traveled to Palestine and Israel four times, met with the filmmakers of No Other Land, and moderated panels on the film in Jerusalem and Berlin – some alongside its protagonists. More often than not, these discussions were overshadowed by the political firestorm the film ignited in Germany. The message from major officials to the filmmakers was unmistakable: Your perspectives are not welcome here.”
“while No Other Land’s Oscar win was unexpected, its rejection by the U.S. film industry was just as telling. Despite glowing reviews, no American distributor picked it up. Beyond select screenings, the film remains largely inaccessible to U.S. audiences.”
