>> This time, French, Czech, Austrian, Italian, and German officials are targeting her over a clearly edited video. This is a blatant smear, typical of Zionist tactics. It’s a coordinated assault on one of the few people in international institutions (like the UN) who is actually doing the job.
>> Albanese shouldn’t be exceptional. What she’s doing (fulfilling her mandate, upholding international law, centering Palestinian voices) is the expectation for anyone in her position... She stands out because nearly everyone else has abandoned their obligations.

German Antisemitism Commissioner Calls for Banning of
Jewish Voice for a Just Peace in the Middle East:
On 30 January 2026, Uwe Becker, the antisemitism commissioner for the federal State of Hesse and a Conservative Party politician, published a press statement on the website of the State Chancellery in which he called for the Jewish Voice to be banned “as soon as possible”. There is a certain irony in the fact that someone whose job is to “protect Jewish life” and “combat anti-Semitism” wants to ban a Jewish organization. Becker accuses us of “antisemitic incitement” at the same time that he, a German Christian, is attacking a Jewish group. We consider this not only a grotesque and authoritarian demand, but also an antisemitic one.
This behaviour is not especially surprising coming from Becker, a fanatical supporter of Israel and former president of the German-Israeli Society (the largest Israel lobby organization in Germany). For years, he has been calling for a ban on every major Palestine event in Frankfurt. In August 2025, he embarrassed the city twice by persuading it to ban the United4Gaza mass demonstration on the basis of a completely unfounded risk assessment. Two courts overturned the ban and reprimanded the city of Frankfurt for disregarding democratic principles.
Becker has defended the genocide in Palestine on countless occasions. We have written elsewhere about how, in September 2024, he honoured returning soldiers who had served in Gaza with a trophy in the shape of Greater Israel. He also called for the dissolution of UNRWA and supported the further starvation of Gaza’s already malnourished population.
In May 2023, the Frankfurt Administrative Court ruled that Becker, during his tenure as deputy mayor in 2019, had violated his obligation to objectivity by demanding the cancellation of the discussion event “Freedom of Expression Instead of Censorship”. He had violated not only the freedom of expression of the participants, but also the public’s right to form their own opinions freely (here too, the event’s title adds a certain irony). One of the speakers at this event on Palestine was Judith Bernstein, who died in November 2025, a member of the Jewish-Palestinian Dialogue Group in Munich and a former chairwoman of our association, whose parents had been expelled from Germany by the Nazis in 1935. She supported the BDS movement, which is why Becker had written in the press release that was found to be unlawful: “Anyone who offers these people a platform is promoting antisemitism in our country.” It is nothing new, then, that Becker, as a German non-Jew, slanders Jews as antisemites, including many whose family histories have been marked by the Holocaust.
Considering that Becker inappropriately wears a kippah at many public appearances, one has the impression that he not only wants to determine who is allowed to speak as a Jew; he also presents himself as a Jew. In doing so, he assumes the role of victim in his dangerous agitation against traitors to Germany’s pro-Israel “reason of state” and positions himself as more “Jewish” than the Jews he persecutes. Jewish groups in particular can undermine the ideological foundation on which this policy is based, which makes them a particular thorn in the side of so-called antisemitism commissioners like Becker. He embodies antisemitic Christian Zionism along with zealous German philosemitism, which confers a sense of moral superiority based on a supposed compensation and purification. Such people want to marginalise us and ultimately replace our identity with one that is loyal to the state; but, to quote the famous Yiddish resistance song: “Mir veln zey iberlevn!” (We will outlive them)
"Three martyrs, including a child from the Zaqoul family, arrived at the Medical Healing Complex via ambulances of the medical services, as a result of artillery shelling that targeted the Al-Huja area yesterday in Jubailia, north of the Gaza Strip."
"The child Karim Abdul Wadood Al-Mudhoun, who has special needs, was on his way to their home east of Jabalia camp two days ago. While walking on the road, the occupation forces opened fire on him and killed him. After committing this crime, the occupation justified its action by claiming that he had crossed the yellow line."
The child Karim Abdul Wadood Al-Mudhoun, who has special needs, was on his way to their home east of Jabalia camp two days ago. While walking on the road, the occupation forces opened fire on him and killed him. After committing this crime, the occupation justified its action by claiming that he had crossed the yellow line. Moreover, the occupation is preventing ambulance crews from reaching the site to retrieve his body, and it may have even abducted the body or buried it to cover up its crime.
I note for the second time that the child Karim has special needs. The child's family is appealing to the Red Cross to coordinate with the occupation to reach the place where the child Karim was killed.
Israeli Soldier in Gaza Admits Killings, Sexual Violence in Livestream Video
A livestream conversation between American content creator Jeff Davidson and a self-identified Israeli soldier inside Gaza has ignited widespread outrage online after the soldier openly described the destruction of the territory and made statements acknowledging the killing of civilians and acts of sexual violence. The footage circulated widely on social media during Israel’s ongoing war on the Gaza Strip, where international organizations have repeatedly documented large-scale devastation and mass civilian casualties.
Numbers Are In: Israeli Army Data Reveals Americans, Europeans and Arabs in Its Ranks
Israeli military data identifies over 50,000 foreign nationals, including Western and Arab citizens, serving during the Gaza genocide.

"Legal experts say the participation of foreign nationals opens the door to prosecutions under the principle of universal jurisdiction, allowing courts to pursue suspected war crimes regardless of nationality or location.
International organizations including Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International have called for independent investigations and urged governments to examine the conduct of their citizens who served in the conflict."

Merci pour les familles de Gaza qui viennent de recevoir un don pour le ramadan !
Vous venez de faire des heureux avant ce début de ramadan : 37 familles, particulièrement isolées et démunies de Gaza, ont reçu un chèque de 100 ou 150 euros, selon leur taille, pour s’acheter les aliments qu’ils veulent dans un supermarché de Gaza, qui vient d’ouvrir. Une belle surprise pour elles !

>> The partnership or party is often imagined as a neutral space, one in which Jews and Palestinians supposedly engage as equals, share leadership, and jointly articulate a common vision. Yet under conditions of apartheid and genocidal war, and in a space governed by Jewish supremacy ... this conception is not only detached from reality but also reproduces the existing hierarchical power relations it aims to transcend.
>> ... the prevailing argument expressed among Israeli leftist activists, ... that a “Jewish-Arab party” is needed, and that the existing Arab parties are not binational because they are led by Palestinians, merits scrutiny. This argument ignores the settler-colonial historical and political context in which Arab parties in Israel operate, as well as the material and violent conditions that shape their political action...
