oatmealAnti-War Activism / We Refuse: Saying No to the Army in Israel [French] A new book titled "Nous refusons. Dire non à l'armée en Israël" (We Refuse: Saying No to the Army in Israel) has been published by <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Libertalia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Libertalia</a> m. It is a collection of testimonies and photographs of Israeli war and occupation resisters. The book is a follow-up to a previous work by Martin Barzilai, "Refuzniks," published in 2017, and includes personal stories of Israeli activists explaining their reasons for refusing military service. The introduction was written by French-Israeli filmmaker Eyal Sivan.We Refuse: Saying No to the Army in Israel[…] « La chose la pire qui soit en Israël, à part être palestinien, c'est être un traître. » Eviatar Rubin a 22 ans. Quand le photographe Martin Barzilai le rencontre pour la première fois il y a deux ans, l'attaque terroriste du Hamas et la riposte israélienne n'ont pas encore eu lieu. Le jeune homme, qui vit à Haïfa, est déjà déterminé : pas question de faire son service militaire, pas question de « participer à l'occupation sioniste, à un régime d'apartheid ». Alors il refuse de rejoindre l'armée. Il passera pour cela quatre mois en prison. Puis il retournera à ses activités militantes : manifestations politiques et soutien aux familles palestiniennes expulsées de leur logement. […] "The worst thing in Israel, apart from being Palestinian, is being a traitor." Eviatar Rubin is 22 years old. When the photographer Martin Barzilai meets him for the first time two years ago, the Hamas terrorist attack and the Israeli response have not yet taken place. The young man, who lives in Haifa, is already determined: no question of doing his military service, no question of "participating in the Zionist occupation, in an apartheid regime." So he refuses to join the army. He will spend four months in prison for this. Then he will return to his militant activities: political demonstrations and support for Palestinian families evicted from their homes.<a href="https://editionslibertalia.com/catalogue/orient-xxi/martin-barzilai-nous-refusons" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://editionslibertalia.com/catalogue/orient-xxi/martin-barzilai-nous-refusons</a><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@bookstodon</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bookstodon</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/palestine" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@palestine</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/israel" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@israel</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Resistance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Resistance</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IsraelFascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#IsraelFascism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AntiWar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AntiWar</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IsraelOccupation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#IsraelOccupation</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Apartheid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Apartheid</a>

"The High Council for Tribal Affairs in the Gaza Strip warned on Wednesday of an Israeli plot to steal humanitarian aid through local gangs operating under direct supervision of the Israeli army, with the aim of intensifying Palestinian starvation and forcing mass displacement.In a statement, the council said that the Israeli occupation is preventing any effort to “protect” the aid designated for <a href="https://todon.nl/tags/Gaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Gaza</a>, as part of a “malicious” plan to sponsor chaos and looting through criminal groups working directly under its control.This scheme, the council explained, is part of a systematic effort to plunder humanitarian aid, starve the population, and drive them into forced migration."It accused the Israeli military of playing “a central role in managing and fueling chaos in Gaza” through “its dirty arms—collaborators and thieves who have sold out their national and tribal identities.”Before the Israeli closure of Gaza’s border crossings on March 2, aid convoys entering Gaza had already been subject to repeated theft by gangs that the Government Media Office said operate under military cover to destabilize the area. <a href="https://www.watanserb.com/en/2025/05/21/israel-accused-of-orchestrating-humanitarian-aid-theft-in-gaza-through-armed-gangs/?amp=1" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.watanserb.com/en/2025/05/21/israel-accused-of-orchestrating-humanitarian-aid-theft-in-gaza-through-armed-gangs/?amp=1</a> <a href="https://todon.nl/tags/gazagenocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#gazagenocide</a> <a href="https://todon.nl/tags/genocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#genocide</a> <a href="https://todon.nl/tags/IsraelOccupation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#IsraelOccupation</a>

oatmealDr. Omri Shefer Raviv’s book, “The Homeowners: The Israeli Government and the Palestinians, 1967-1969”, researches the formative decisions that shaped Israel’s governance of the Palestinians in the immediate aftermath of the 1967 war—policies whose echoes resonate today while Israel is destroying Gaza and attempting, again, to empty it of its indigenous population (mostly descendants of the internal refugees of the 1948 <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Nakba" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Nakba</a>). Raviv argues that the initial assumption of a temporary occupation quickly fractured, with divergent views emerging within the Israeli government. While some envisioned annexation, others saw the territories as bargaining chips, and still others prioritized a strong military presence. However, a common thread was the desire for control. Moshe Dayan, Minister of Defense, emerges as a central figure, actively dismissing any prospect of a political solution and advocating for the perpetuation of the occupation. As described in the book, Dayan prioritized a strategy of economic dependence to maintain control, declaring that it was the "most important success" and that "100,000 refugees have passed from Israel to Jordan.” The book details how policies were deliberately designed to create this reliance, hindering Palestinian development. [...] "I wish they would all leave… I know the images and descriptions in the newspapers of people wading through water with their children… and in the heat of Jericho, those aren’t dignified scenes… but it’s the most practical thing happening today, with 1,000 refugees crossing every day.”Raviv describes systematic efforts to encourage Palestinian emigration, including outright expulsion. Dayan reportedly expressed a desire to see Palestinians leave, stating that "it would be a pity if we had to deal with them," and that he hoped "they all pass”. These actions, coupled with the creation of conditions meant to incentivize migration, foreshadowed current strategies.

Thousands of families have been displaced, and residents face severe restrictions, violence, and property loss as the humanitarian situation worsens.[…] The humanitarian consequences of the attack are severe: at least 13 people have been killed since the beginning of the attack, including a child and two women — one of them in advanced pregnancy. Hundreds more have been wounded or arrested. More than 4,000 families were forced to leave their homes in the Tulkarem and Nur al-Shams camps, alongside hundreds of additional families evacuated from the northern neighborhood of the city following the takeover of their homes.

Starting as a teenager, he captured firsthand the violence inflicted on his village Masafer Yatta by settlers and the Israeli military—from home demolitions by bulldozers to brutal assaults on community members. Despite international recognition for his work, Adra reveals that the cycle of violence, displacement, and injustice continues unabated, with daily attacks that leave Palestinian communities in constant fear.[...] Speaking at the UN Palestinian Rights Committee on 3 April 2025, Adra recounted harrowing personal and communal experiences, including the attack on his cousin, which exemplifies the systemic oppression faced by Palestinians. He highlighted that these incidents are not isolated but part of a broader strategy to displace Palestinians and seize their land, underlining the complicity of state authorities in facilitating such actions. Adra’s testimony is both a call to action and a plea for global accountability in the fight for Palestinian rights and dignity.Watch <a href="https://kolektiva.media/w/fi77wgEfnc4zHFuZgz6Uuv" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://kolektiva.media/w/fi77wgEfnc4zHFuZgz6Uuv</a> Alternative <a href="https://yewtu.be/watch?v=AjZ3JcFtMW8" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://yewtu.be/watch?v=AjZ3JcFtMW8</a> or <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjZ3JcFtMW8&t=25" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjZ3JcFtMW8&t=25</a><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/palestine" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@palestine</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/israel" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@israel</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoOtherLand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NoOtherLand</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WestBank" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WestBank</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IsraelOccupation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#IsraelOccupation</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Apartheid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Apartheid</a>

This legislative initiative, which fails to acknowledge its disproportionate impact on Arab Israeli citizens despite legal requirements to do so, contravenes Israel's obligations under international conventions, including the Convention on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the Convention on the Rights of the Child. The amendment's purported justification—that children born in these territories inherently possess "identification and loyalty" to those entities—lacks empirical foundation and conflicts with established legal principles regarding citizenship acquisition, thereby constituting what critics characterize as a demographically motivated policy that further marginalizes an already vulnerable population segment within Israeli society.Hebrew <a href="https://www.regthink.org/child-citizenship-revocation" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.regthink.org/child-citizenship-revocation</a><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/palestine" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@palestine</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/israel" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@israel</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IsraelOccupation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#IsraelOccupation</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Nakba" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Nakba</a>

Israeli forces also arrested a child named Mohammed Da'as and a young man named Marwan Mustafa from the Issawiya village in northeast Jerusalem after raiding and searching their family homes.According to the Association for Civil Rights, Jerusalem police's policy of not allowing the display of the Palestinian flag within city limits is illegal and contradicts rulings on freedom of expression restrictions.As of early March, over 9,500 Palestinian prisoners are held in Israeli detention facilities, including more than 350 children, 21 women, and 3,405 administrative detainees. Before the Israeli offensive that began on October 7, 2023, there were 5,250 Palestinian prisoners, including 40 women, 170 children, and approximately 1,320 administrative detainees.

oatmealQuoting Nesrine Malik: Israel is engaged in "a forever war of permanent vengeance"The occupation forces continue killing Palestinians despite a supposed ceasefire, with over 100 Palestinians killed in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Gaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Gaza</a> since January. Israel is deliberately blocking humanitarian aid as collective punishment, causing starvation and the freezing deaths of babies in torn tents. In the West Bank, almost 1,000 Palestinians have been killed since October 7 through deliberate settler violence and military attacks. Nearly half of all Palestinian children killed in the West Bank over the past 20 years were killed just in the last year, including documented shootings of children as young as two years old. The occupation forces are systematically destroying infrastructure, forcibly displacing 40,000 Palestinians, targeting medical facilities, and expanding illegal settlements. […] The playbook and justifications are eerily similar to those used in Gaza. Targeting militants becomes the explanation for a whole range of ruinous activities, including but not limited to: destroying infrastructure, driving people out of their homes with no right of return (40,000 so far, in less than two months, according to Unrwa, the UN aid agency), targeting medical facilities and personnel, flattening entire neighbourhoods and that most lethal policy, loosening military rules of engagement to allow soldiers more leeway and mandate to open fire. According to Unrwa, “the use of airstrikes, armoured bulldozers, controlled detonations, and advanced weaponry by the Israeli forces has become commonplace” in the West Bank, and is “a spillover of the war in Gaza”. The result is an assault in the West Bank that is as historic as it was and is in Gaza.<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/mar/10/ceasefire-palestinians-gaza-israel-west-bank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/mar/10/ceasefire-palestinians-gaza-israel-west-bank</a><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/palestine" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@palestine</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/israel" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@israel</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GazaGenocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GazaGenocide</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/israelWarCrimes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#israelWarCrimes</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IsraelOccupation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#IsraelOccupation</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SettlerViolence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SettlerViolence</a>

oatmeal<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Eurovision" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Eurovision</a> / Israel still allowed to maintain access to platforms of cultural diplomacy despite an ongoing genocide Israel's strategic deployment of cultural representation in the face of allegations of genocide is relentless. While facing <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ICJ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ICJ</a> investigation and scholarly condemnation of a genocide that has resulted in over 46,000 Palestinians deliberately and systematically murdered by the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IDF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#IDF</a> (using U.S.-supplied weaponry,) Israel's Eurovision participation—featuring a survivor of the October 7 attack—is attempting, once again, to instrumentalize personal victimhood in service of state legitimation. It’s difficult to ignore the fact that this centering of Israeli suffering within international cultural forums occurs simultaneously with the systematic marginalization of Palestinian perspectives and experiences. The disproportionate media attention given to Israel's Eurovision candidacy, relative to, say, coverage of ongoing genocide in Gaza and the occupied West Bank, not to mention a brutal occupation, reflects broader patterns of narrative control that obscure accountability for actions against an occupied population. As one Israeli commentator wrote, “the song written for her [Yuval Raphae] by Keren Peles lacks even a trace of originality and freshness, resembling something more on the level of a young talent night at an unpopular brasserie - and conveys an oppressive sense of extra effort to be appealing.[…] And if that doesn't help either, one can always say that the problem isn't the lyrics, the melody, the French, the clip, the Keren, or the Peles: in the end, everyone is antisemitic.Hebrew <a href="https://www.ynet.co.il/entertainment/article/bjkqmw3s1x" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.ynet.co.il/entertainment/article/bjkqmw3s1x</a><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/palestine" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@palestine</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/israel" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@israel</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GazaGenocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GazaGenocide</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IsraelOccupation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#IsraelOccupation</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/eurovision2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#eurovision2025</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/yuvalabraham" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#yuvalabraham</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/antisemitism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#antisemitism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/hasbara" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#hasbara</a>* Edit: name Yuval Raphael
