Gaza’s defining moment of invasion: Israel’s intentions and the Arab world’s position | Elijah J. Magnier –
The expected Israeli offensive has met with unexpected resistance, not from traditional adversaries, but from Arab nations. Historically intertwined with the Palestinian cause, these nations have voiced their strong opposition to any move that would result in the displacement of Gaza’s 2.3 million inhabitants. Their message to the US is clear: honour the commitments made in the Oslo Accords and respect the vision of two sovereign states living side by side in peace.
This Arab opposition to Israel’s plans is significant. It underlines a wider regional sentiment that the plight of the Palestinians can no longer be ignored. The collective memory of past expulsions, wars and upheavals remains fresh, and there is a palpable reluctance to witness another chapter of Palestinian suffering.

The Oslo Accords: Failure or Betrayal ? | Mondoweiss - October 2023
Palestinians reflect on the past 30 years since the first Oslo Accords were signed and all the ways in which the agreement impacted their lives, pushing them even further away from achieving liberation and statehood.Insightfull on the inner political situation, the lack of democracy ( no elections for over a decade).Many Palestinians don't feel represented by the PA authorities, which they arguably see as a colaborator of the occupying force in the West Bank.The young generation has turned away from the old guard
and joined armed resistance groups.

🇵🇸 The World Court has ended the Oslo ruse - Kraig Morkhiber for Mondoweiss
The ICJ’s ruling that international law protects the rights of Palestinians, and they need not negotiate with their oppressors for those rights, dealt a definitive blow to decades of Western efforts to situate Israel outside the reach of the law.
Israel is on trial for genocide in the International Court of Justice (the #ICJ). The Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (#ICC) has requested arrest warrants for Israel’s leaders for crimes against humanity. Millions of people across the globe, Palestinians, Jews, Muslims, Christians, students, workers, and others, are mobilized to challenge Israeli settler-colonialism, #apartheid, and #genocide. The 76-year-old wall of impunity, built brick-by-brick by the #US, the #UK, and other Western governments, is beginning to crumble.

🇵🇸 “We are now going to enter a long period of concentrated effort in enforcement and #demolitions. We are going to return the situation to the way it was.”
Israel's far-right Finance Minister, Bezalel Smotrich, has launched a campaign to demolish structures and expel Palestinians from ‘Area B’ of the West Bank.
Smotrich, who heads a pro-settler party and is himself a settler, accused the Palestinian Authority of investing significant resources to create territorial contiguity in the region, which he claims threatens Israeli control and causes environmental damage.
Under the 1993 #OsloAccords, it was agreed that the area Smotrich is referring to would be controlled by the Palestinian Authority (#PA).

🇵🇸 Trump's ethnic cleansing plan: No option left for the Palestinians but to stay and fight | Azzam Tamimi for Middle East Eye
The creation of a #Jewish homeland in #Palestine could not be achieved without imassacres and #EthnicCleansing. #Britain, which was entrusted with an international #mandate for Palestine, knowingly enabled #Zionist land theft and the #dispossession of the Palestinian people.
The 1948 #Nakba, when at least 750,000 Palestinians were turned into #refugees, marked the nadir of this process."
There are essentially two options: surrender and be exterminated, or put up a fight to regain your #freedom and #dignity. The Palestinians knew from the start that they were not being offered a third option.
Even the peace process that culminated with the signing of the #OsloAccords in 1993 was designed only to end the Palestinian issue by transforming the Palestine Liberation Organisation (#PLO) into a security agency that would aid and prolong the Zionist occupation of Palestine.

🇵🇸 Reminder : Who Profits - The Israeli Occupation Industry
Since its 1967 #occupation of Palestinian and Syrian land, Israel has developed an intricate system of #oppression, combining military force, technology, #infrastructure, and regulations to exert control over Palestinian and Syrian populations and further entrench its control over #land and #resources. Populations living under Israel’s military rule are denied basic civil liberties and are subject to arbitrary repressive violence by the Israeli military, police force, and private security personnel.
In the occupied #WestBank, around 3 million Palestinians live within a complex mosaic of administrative areas carved out through the 1993 #OsloAccords. Under the Accords the West Bank was divided into three administrative areas (A, B, and C). #AreaA comprises approximately 18% of the West Bank and is nominally under full Palestinian control. Area B, comprising approximately 22% of the West Bank, is under the full administrative control of the Palestinian Authority(#PA) but under the military control of Israel. #AreaC, which comprises 61% of the West Bank, is under the full control of Israel through the Civil (Military) Administration in the West Bank.
These areas are separated and surrounded by a system of #roadblocks, #fences, #walls, #barriers, and #checkpoints, as well as Israeli #settlements and roads designated for the exclusive use of Israelis. The movement of Palestinians between the separate areas is controlled by an elaborate #permit regime. Further, Palestinians from the West Bank and Gaza require special permits to enter into areas annexed to Jerusalem, and #Jerusalem itself. Permits are allocated by the Israeli authorities according to secret security and economic considerations. Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians are blacklisted and cannot pass through any of the checkpoints, not even to #travel inside their own enclave to the next town or the surrounding area.
In #Gaza, around two million people have been living under an Israeli-imposed land, air, and sea siege since 2007. The movement of people, goods, and services in or out of Gaza is almost completely blocked, and ongoing military attacks cause mounting casualties and infrastructure #destruction.
#Population control and arbitrary movement #restrictions separate families, severely limit access to #HealthCare, #education, and employment, and hinder economic development. Israel also utilizes its force and technologies to surveil and intimidate populations, as well as to quell any form of political activity and resistance, including the routine use of lethal crowd control weapons and live fire on civilian demonstrators.
Collective punishments in the form of military assaults, house #demolitions, curfews, closures, and mass arrests are common. Presently, there are approximately 5,000 Palestinian political prisoners in Israeli incarceration centers. About 1,000 are being held under administrative detention, i.e., without having been charged, tried, or sentenced.
Who Profits has identified three sub-categories of corporate involvement in Israel’s Population Control. Private Security and #Surveillance Technology refers to corporate involvement in Israel’s growing Private Security and Surveillance #Technology Industries. The Wall and Checkpoints refers to Israel’s intricate mechanisms of control, physical segregation, and restrictions on the movement of Palestinians in the #oPt. Specialized Equipment and Services, refers to corporate involvement in the provision of services and equipment to the
Israeli military and security apparatus.
