Thank you so much for posting these important details on Todon.nlProletarian Rage (@prolrage@todon.nl)@villebooks@mastodon.social "Europe considers Israeli settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territories as being illegal. Why then do the 700,000 Israelis residing in such settlements enjoy visa-free access to Europe? If the settlements are illegal (in occupied territories, they are), the residents of those settlements are not living in the State of Israel. Even foreigners who have visa-free access to Israel and the United States are now required to fill out an online form to enter those countries. Why not do the same in Europe for Israelis? And if an Israeli’s place of residence is in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, they should be denied visa-free access to Europe.
Similarly, if goods produced in illegal settlements are illegal products not produced in the State of Israel, why does Europe ask only that they are marked as being produced in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, and not prevent their entrance into Europe as illegal contraband?"

"While this move has the potential to be strategically harnessed to advance Palestinian rights, it equally bears the risk of normalizing the genocide of the Palestinian people in #Gaza while stabilizing the status quo of #Israel’s colonial rule and stunting the potential of genuine self-determination."

This attack on UAWC seed bank is not an isolated incident. It is the second direct assault on UAWC in recent years, part of a broader colonial strategy to uproot Palestinian communities, displace Indigenous farmers, and suppress any form of self-determination. https://viacampesina.org/en/2025/08/la-via-campesina-condemns-israeli-forces-attack-on-uawc-seed-bank-in-hebron-palestine-read-the-full-statement
#US cannot take its fingers off when #Netanyahu go to occupy #Gaza while it is under occupation as part of the #oPT since 1967.
Even under #donaldtrump the US remains deeply involved since #Zionist Harry Truman rushed to be the first to recognize the invention of #Israelis.

"Freedom can be granted, but it remains a “legal fiction”. […] Rights cannot be bestowed upon those constructed as Slaves, non-Humans, or property, especially when such a status is the contingent basis of the worldview through which rights are given their coherence."

“Peace, within an antiblack world, is a fallacy (much like freedom). The metaphysical infrastructure that supports the fiction of the white human is sustained by antiblack violence.”

"Palestinians despise the courts. We hate the sight of a judge, knowing all too well that they are no different from the interrogator. We loathe the law and all it stands for in our context—a tool for oppression cloaked in legality. Even the lawyers, perhaps universally disliked, evoke our mistrust. But for us, the courts represent more than frustration; they are the place where our oppressive conditions are translated into legal language, where the weight of colonial domination is formalized with a veneer of legitimacy."

Mondoweiss · The ICC warrants: Palestinian skepticism and the glimpse of justicePalestinians hold deep skepticism of courts based on generations of Israeli abuse. But the ICC warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant are a moment to expose the contradictions of the American Empire and put a crack in the veneer of impunity.

'#Gaza has thus become a symbol both of #WesternHypocrisy and of its victims’ recourse to #humanRights and #internationalLaw as a final forum of appeal for collective deliverance—the deliverance of the “wretched of the earth,” as Frantz Fanon famously called colonized subjects, whoever and wherever they may be.'
