The War & Genocide Thread

August 13, 2025 By InMiddle East - West Asia

Keep talking about Gaza!

When you wake up, keep your eyes on Gaza, which is being subjected to hunger and extermination; the Zionist occupation has announced its invasion (of Gaza City) with sixty thousand soldiers. Spread its news and be its voice, and do not leave it alone.

FM Lavrov on Gaza: ‘There will be nothing to recognize’: Lavrov on West’s delay in recognizing State of Palestine

“Why do you need to wait for these two months? Why don’t you do it immediately? […] Because they have this diplomatic hope that by the time when they have to fulfill this obligation to recognize the Palestinian state, there will be nothing (left) to recognize,” the Russian foreign minister says.

🔊 Lavrov believes “this is the essence of EU diplomacy in the Middle East.”

From Gaza Now

Four of the most notorious figures of Zionist terror stand at the forefront of global war crimes: Netanyahu, Gallant, Smotrich, and Ben-Gvir. They are the architects of massacres, starvation, and genocide in Gaza and across occupied Palestine. Holding them accountable through international justice is not an option but an urgent necessity. Their prosecution and removal from power are essential steps to end the cycle of bloodshed and to open the path toward genuine justice and lasting peace for the region and the world.

Marwa Osman:

History will damn this age.

Egypt had the Nile, yet Gaza was left to die of thirst.

Saudi Arabia and the UAE sat on oceans of oil, while Gaza’s hospitals went dark and its ambulances ran dry.

The Muslim world had more than 50 million soldiers, but not one was sent to stop a genocide.

Billions of dollars were burned on concerts and empty celebrations, while Gaza’s children starved without bread or water.

Turkey wrapped itself in the language of Islam, yet stood by as the massacres raged on.

The so-called Muslim nation cursed its rulers, but still lined the pockets of the enemy by guzzling Pepsi, Coca-Cola and hundreds of other pro-Zionist brands instead of boycotting.

And while the West filled its streets in outrage against genocide, Muslims and their scholars sat at home debating the story of a “woman punished for imprisoning a cat”, yet failed to debate the death of thousands in Gaza.

History will not forgive. Neither rulers nor the ruled will escape blame when Gaza is reduced to ash.

And on Judgment Day, there will be no excuses, only the truth about who stood firm and who surrendered.

Silence is betrayal. Keep speaking, keep shouting because there is always hope that the world will finally wake up to the unfolding Israeli genocide against Palestinians.

May we be forgiven for not having the ability to stop this. Melania must put her ‘letter to Putin’ where it fits.

Broken Children!

Massive protest in Tel Aviv — reportedly hundreds of thousands demand an end to the war.

We now have a concerted effort to break the Israeli trope that “it is all (G)hamas.

Take that!

China says it continues to consider Hamas as the sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, and that until and unless valid elections are held after a lasting ceasefire, they will continue to recognize Hamas and treat them as Gaza’s official governing body.

Francesca Albanese: “Whether we like it or not, Hamas built schools, hospitals, and public facilities—it was the de facto authority.”

UN Special Rapporteur on human rights in the occupied Palestinian territories Francesca Albanese challenges misconstrued narratives about Hamas in Gaza. UN’s Francesca Albanese is facing a huge backlash from Israeli lobby for describing Hamas as ‘political force that won the most democratic election’.

It is high time that the world is reminded that Hamas won an election and is the de facto authority.

GLOBAL STRIKE – 21 AUGUST 2025

This is not symbolic. This is a worldwide stoppage one day to make the siege impossible to ignore.

No work. No trade. No business as usual.

And here is why:

57 Muslim-majority nations in the OIC could act tomorrow to break the siege yet the crossings stay shut, trade deals with israel grow, and silence reigns.

$35 billion gas deal signed between israel and Egypt the biggest in israel’s history will pump 130 bem of gas into Egypt through 2040, while Gaza is choked of fuel, food, and medicine.

Rafah crossing Gaza’s only gateway to the outside world not directly controlled by israel is kept under Egypt’s military grip, with heavily armed deployments and tanks in northern Sinai.

On the Egyptian side, a permanent multinational force from 15 countries sits in Sinai under the MFO mandate:
Australia, Canada, Colombia, Czech Republic, Fiji, France, Italy, New Zealand, Norway, Serbia, Switzerland, United Kingdom, United States, Uruguay, and Japan (civilian observers). They monitor the peace treaty but their presence, alongside Egyptian armour and Israeli coordination, maintains a militarised choke point.

Meanwhile, some of these very governments publicly “call for humanitarian aid” to enter Gaza while participating in the system that blocks it.

This isn’t just hypocrisy. It’s active complicity.

Marwa Osman with a deep dive: Lebanon, history, and Hezbollah in an interview with Jamarl Thomas:

Marwa Osman – Benjamin Netanyahu has just said the quiet part out loud… again. His vision of a “Greater Israel” isn’t a slip of the tongue; it’s a blueprint for expansion that swallows up Egypt, Jordan, parts of Saudi Arabia, Syria, Lebanon, and even stretches into Turkey. This was never about October 7. This has always been the central mission for Zionist leaders as my people have been stating since 1936 (do your homework), and Netanyahu has carried that torch more zealously than anyone else.

What’s staggering is the silence from parts of the Arab world that have cozied up to Zionist Israel, even when he’s openly mapping their own lands into his empire.

And yet, perhaps the only real force capable of standing in the way of this imperial fantasy is the Lebanese resistance, Hezbollah. A force the current Lebanese government, under PM Nawaf Salam and President Joseph Aoun, is actively working to disarm.

If that happens (trust me when I say it will fail but for the sake of the argument), it won’t just be a political blunder, it will open the gates for Netanyahu’s “Greater Israel” dream to creep dangerously closer to reality.
The stakes for this region could not be higher.

Israel is using this focus on tomorrow’s meeting in Alaska to continue their evil.

Israeli Defense Minister Katz:

“Israel is determined to defeat Hamas in Gaza, release all the prisoners, and end the war.. The Israeli army is mobilizing all its forces and preparing strongly to implement the cabinet’s decision.. We will work hand in hand until the mission is completed”

🔹🔹🔹🔹

The pressure on Israel continues.  It is only this type of pressure across the world that will work, in the absence of UN Security Council action.

-Greek unions are reportedly gearing up for a protest against the Israeli cruise ship Crown Iris, scheduled to dock at the port of Piraeus on Thursday. The All-Workers Militant Front (PAME) announced, “The cruise ship carrying Israeli soldiers is not welcome! It should turn back!

-The Hind Rajab Foundation (HRF) and the Palestinian Center for Human Rights (PCHR) said they will file a joint complaint to the International Criminal Court (ICC) over Israel’s killing of six Palestinian journalists in a targeted and deliberate attack on Sunday.  They are urging the court to move beyond expressions of concern and take immediate legal action.

-UN Secretary-General António Guterres warns Israel will be listed in the upcoming UN report on sexual violence in Palestine, citing credible evidence of abuse by Israeli forces in prisons. Israel is placed in “warning” category ahead of report.

-Authorities in Gaza say the Israeli military is desperately and pathetically attempting to cover up internationally documented crimes and the systematic starvation of the population across the blockaded Palestinian territory.

-European airline ground staff refuse to work in Israel: ‘We won’t return until genocide ends’

-Days ahead of Brussels Airlines’ planned resumption of flights to Tel Aviv’s Ben-Gurion Airport, ground staff have demanded the suspension of the route for moral reasons, citing genocide in Gaza and the West Bank.

-Meanwhile, French baggage handler company Alyzia has announced a full boycott of Israeli carriers, refusing to handle their flights in solidarity with Palestinians.

-More than 100 former members of the European Parliament (MEPs) representing various political factions have jointly condemned the continuous starvation of the civilian population in Gaza as a “war crime,” calling for the complete suspension of the EU’s Association Agreement with Israel

-Palestinian resistance fighters in Gaza continue to fight fiercely against the invading Israeli troops.  Al-Quds and other brigades are fighting fiercely.

Much of the European action is sickeningly self-serving, but in my view, anything that keeps the pressure mounting is good.  We may see a twist in this tale, though, as it is self-serving.  It does help to tumble the Israeli carefully constructed meme of innocence and defending itself.   Every Israeli now knows that they are hated and will be hated in the world, as long as they survive.  Countering so-called anti-semitism is not working for them any longer.  Nobody cares about being anti-semite, but rather we care about not supporting genocide.
