Pro-Palestinian Group Is Relentless in Its Criticism of Israel, and It Isn’t Backing Down
Within Our Lifetime, a group formed by New York students, has galvanized pro-Palestinian activists who are calling for the end of Israel — and facing accusations of antisemitism.www.nytimes.com
If there was ever a group that needs to be on a watchlist....
Lets see Kathy Hochul steps up. If you're going to force every to commute by train with insane tolls, you really need to make sure people are safe to take public transportation.
Gaza is a 'killing field', says UN chief, as agencies urge world to act on Israel's blockade
Israel has blocked all supplies from entering for five weeks - the longest period since the war began.
I think we are about to see far more international pressure on israel than ever before..
I can agree with this. Protests that block roads and or peoples freedom of movement piss me off to no end and it doesn't matter what the cause is, if I agree or not. All that does is piss people off and make them less sympathetic to the issue being presented.
IDF courts Australian universities amid anti-war protests - Michael West
Hundreds of university staff and students in Melbourne and Sydney called on events to support Israel and its defence forces to be cancelled.
While Australia’s universities continue to repress pro-Palestine peace protests, they gave the green light to pro-Israel events this week, sparking outrage from anti-war protestors.
Israeli lobby groups ‘StandWithUs Australia’ (SWU) and ‘Israel-IS’ organised a series of university events this week which featured Israel Defense Force (IDF) reservists who served during the war in Gaza, two of whom lost family members in Hamas’ attack on October 7, 2023.
The events were promoted as “an immersive VR experience with an inspiring interfaith panel” discussing the importance of social cohesion, on and off campus.”
Hundreds of staff and students at Monash, Sydney Uni, UNSW and UTS signed letters calling on their universities to “act swiftly to cancel the SWU event and make clear that organisations and individuals who worked with the Israel Defense Forces did not have a place on UNSW campuses.”
SWU is a global charity organisation which supports Israel and fights all conduct it perceives to be ‘antisemitic’. It campaigns against the United Nations and International NGOs’ findings against Israel and is currently supporting actions to suspend United States students supporting Palestine. It established an office in Sydney in 2022 and Michael Gencher, who previously worked at the NSW Jewish Board of Deputies, was appointed as CEO.
The event’s co-sponsor Israel-IS is a similar propaganda outfit whose mission is to “connect with people before they connect with ideas” particularly through “cutting edge technologies like VR and AI.” Among their eighteen staff, one employee’s role is ‘IDF coordinator’’ by while two employees serve as ‘Heads of Influencer Academy’.
From what I've seen it also doesn't look like it was much of a "surprise" to the Israeli government
