The U.S., Canadian & European-backed genocidal slaughter and ethnic cleansing land theft of Palestine by Israel goes on and on, with no end in sight. It is next to impossible to convey how relentless the killing, devastation and suffering continue to be in Palestine, even as Israel expands in a similar manner in Lebanon and Syria.

Israel Isn't Debating a Palestinian State. It's Preparing for Expulsion (by Amira Haas, Haaretz news)
Links to two Guardian articles about the documentary film NAZA (NZA), directed by Israeli film-makers Rachel Szor and Yuval Abraham and produced by the Guardian, about mass slaughter authorised at the highest levels of the Israeli government.

Anyone relying solely, or primarily on mainstream U.S. and Canadian corporate and government supported media is choosing to be mis-informed, to one degree or another.
“The whole charade of Western liberal democracy is as much of a corpse under the rubble as the tens of thousands of Palestinians”
- Arundhati Roy, Democracy Now interview
Even as the U.S. government carries out violent, imperialist interventions across the Americas and Middle East (openly supported or acquiesced to by Canada, traditional European powers, Israel), Rights Action encourages folks to continue to continue to educate about and support work and struggle, as best one can, in response to Israel’s genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestine.
“And it’s like, if we don’t pull our struggles together, if we don’t connect the struggles together and the overall larger patterns of extraction, the larger patterns of colonialism, the larger patterns of empire, the larger patterns of massive moneymaking—if we don’t connect those dots between the struggles, we are never going to get anywhere.”

Israel Isn't Debating a Palestinian State. It's Preparing for Expulsion

Gadi Eisenkot's position on Palestinian statehood is beside the point. Across Gaza, the West Bank and Israel itself, the machinery for making Palestinian life impossible is already operating, laying the groundwork for mass expulsion
Gadi Eisenkot, the election frontrunner and leader of the Yashar party, has a stance on a Palestinian state that is ultimately irrelevant. What is at stake today is not a "diplomatic solution," but the very existence of the Palestinian people between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea.
The Israeli forces striving to "erase" them recognize no limits or restraints. Their supporters are too numerous for us to rely solely on the steadfastness and resilience of a people that has already endured expulsion plans carried out by Israel.
The world stands by. The left is tiny, weak and hoarse from sounding too many warnings. The anti-Bibi opposition oscillates among downplaying the danger, remaining indifferent to it and outright supporting expulsion. The sporadic condemnations, prompted mainly by something the U.S. ambassador posted on X, are about as useful as a sieve in a rainstorm. The Jewish Phalangists attack constantly and everywhere, not only in Qusra.
The debate over one state, two states or a federation is more theoretical than ever. Any agreed-upon solution requires first acknowledging the problem and agreeing on what it is.
Too many Jews in Israel have been conditioned to believe that the problem is the very presence in this land of a Palestinian people with roots, historical and economic continuity, cultural capital and material assets, a rich agricultural heritage and a profound love of homeland.
"Erasure" is the nightmare solution being written into reality every day. Knesset laws, politicians' declarations, military orders, school textbooks and the holy real estate battalions operating in Gaza, the West Bank and the Negev all work, together and separately, to advance this "solution" diligently and without fear of international condemnation.
Israeli policy is directed toward making life unbearable for Palestinians wherever they live, so that their emigration can be described as an act of free will.
Within Israel itself, the authorities give Arab crime organizations free rein to arm themselves and kill Palestinian citizens in their homes. In the West Bank, those same Israeli authorities give "God's battalions" free rein to arm themselves, kill and expel, while the official army continues its raids day and night.
In devastated and thirsty Gaza, the government and the army cultivate armed militias of criminal collaborators, while Israeli pilots continue to launch missiles of revenge and retribution that claim the lives of still more children.
All these testosterone-fueled displays are interconnected. At the same time, Israel is destroying or severely restricting Palestinians' ability to earn a living.
In Gaza, that mission has been completed. A "living dead" population of aid recipients, two million people carrying the weight of some 74,000 fresh graves, families and memories, talents and professions, and evaporated savings, is crammed into roughly 150 square kilometers of scorched earth. Creativity, resourcefulness and mutual aid are dwarfed by the scale of the destruction and by Israel's prohibition on rebuilding and recovery.
In the West Bank, the Finance Ministry's financial noose is tightening around the necks of approximately three million people and the Palestinian Authority. The systematic theft of revenues is compounded by the army's campaigns of destruction in cities and refugee camps, as well as by the other methods used to prevent Palestinians from cultivating and developing their land: checkpoints, bureaucratic prohibitions, fences and Israeli-Jewish shepherds.
Within Israel itself, the "Judaization of the Galilee and Negev" was and remains code for stealing land and resources from Palestinian citizens of Israel. Discrimination against them in allocations, subsidies and employment, along with building prohibitions and demolitions, has always featured prominently in official policy within the Green Line.
Let me reiterate: The very existence of the Palestinian people between the sea and the river is now in danger. Too many active forces are creating that danger:
Israel's military might and capabilities;
the cult of military service under all conditions and under every government;
obedience as a value;
weapons and military attacks as the default modus operandi;
the normalization of PTSD among soldiers and of soldiers dying by suicide;
the attractions of a military career and the doors it opens;
the lure of an affordable villa in a Galilee exclusionary community or a settler suburb in Samaria;
the falsehoods of official and unofficial propaganda;
indifference to the hell on earth Israel has created in the Gaza Strip;
denial of 60 years of occupation and forced rule;
the Pavlovian response, "But October 7";
the synergy among the army, the government, the rabbis and the kippa-wearing militias in the West Bank;
equanimity in the face of Lebanon's destruction;
disregard for the occupation of more parts of Syria;
the normalization of expulsion discourse;
justice and education systems tainted by secular and religious racism; and,
the army of jailers who abuse thousands of Palestinian prisoners, both under orders and by choice.
Together, these and similar forces are creating the material, ideological and psychological infrastructure within Israeli-Jewish society for another mass expulsion of Palestinians and for what might accompany it: mass slaughter.
The heroes of the settler militias openly declare that expulsion is their goal. They clearly recognize the readiness of large segments of Israeli-Jewish society to participate in carrying it out, actively or passively, directly or indirectly. Through their daily provocations and crimes, committed in broad daylight and made possible only by institutional support, the Phalangists constantly seek to provoke a Palestinian act of rage and revenge that "succeeds," so that it can be exploited as the match that ignites a new holy war.
The Jewish Phalangists and the right-wing organizations that fuel them are counting on broad mobilization, including from the leaders, voters and supporters of Yashar and the liberal Democrats party, for a war that could already be given the slogan: "One people, one army, one land cleansed of Arabs."
‘They know the house they are bombing is full of children’: NAZA’s directors on their devastating film about Israeli intelligence

Secret systems used by Israel in mass killings of Gaza civilians revealed in new film

NZA film to be made accessible on line for free

Translated from Hebrew
Due to the interest and public importance, I and Rachel decided together with The Guardian that the film NZA would be accessible online for free, without any time limit, so that every person can watch it and the soldiers' testimonies. This will happen in a few weeks, in November, at the earliest date we managed to set.
Until then, we approached cinemas in Israel and offered them the film at no cost, in the hope that it will be screened in the country already now, in parallel to its distribution in cinemas around the world. Its screening will be a brave decision in the face of great violence aimed at concealing it. I know there is enormous demand to watch the film, and I hope that in this way, everyone will soon be able to see it: whether in cinemas or online in a few weeks.
Many incorrect things were said about us and about the film in the past week. The film is based on three years of comprehensive journalistic investigation, and the details in it are verified and cross-checked. It will speak for itself, and the truth will ultimately come to light.
We made the film to spark a public discussion about the government's actions in Gaza, the killing of more than 73,000 people, most of them civilians, the normalization of a war of extermination, of the notion that "there are no uninvolved."
Twenty-four soldiers and female soldiers took a step and spoke in front of a camera about what an entire society doesn't want to talk about. Recognizing the atrocities in Gaza does not diminish for a moment the heinous massacre of October 7, for which Hamas is responsible, which soldiers talk about in the film, and which has no justification whatsoever.
On the contrary. After all, ignoring what's happening in Gaza is one of the factors that paved the way for that horrific Sabbath. And this ignoring continues. Journalism is not betrayal. Criticism is not betrayal. It is the duty of every citizen whose government commits crimes to know, and of every soldier who witnessed them to tell.
There are thousands of such soldiers walking around here, who will watch the film and recognize what is described in it personally: the killing of unarmed people crossing an imaginary line, the NZA approvals in the hundreds, the systematic attacks on family homes, the burning and physical destruction of Gaza, murder and shooting at hungry people in food distribution centers, and other crimes that have no justification.
Even if it's frightening, it is your duty to find a way to testify to what you saw. They will tell you that it's better to hide the truth for the sake of hasbara abroad, but that's nonsense. There, they already know everything. Crimes are not explained but stopped.
Hiding the truth first and foremost poisons our society and, above all, allows the harm to human beings in Gaza to continue.
And on a personal note: I have been writing about the army's fire policy in Gaza in Hebrew in "Local Call" for three years already. The investigations were met with ignoring in Israel. Now, for the first time, something is cracking in the screen of ignoring—and that's a positive thing. It's a healthy thing.
Yes, it comes with a great personal price. It was a hard week. But within it, there is also a lot of support, and a lot of generosity. One thing is certain: the threats won't help. It doesn't deter us. Rachel and I will return to the country and continue to fight for the future of this place together with many partners.
Genocide as policy
Rights Action shares this information firstly to encourage folks to ‘stay with Palestine’ – whatever other struggles and work we all focus on – for as long as it takes to fully and finally stop the genocide and ethnic cleansing land-theft. Even when it all stops, there will be an awful lot of work to be done after that …
Secondly, we share this information to broaden understanding of what countries of “the West” support and legitimize. There should be no surprise that the U.S., Canada and dominant European nations are supporting and legitimizing Israel’s genocide in Palestine.
Genocide of Maya Achi people
Since 1994, Rights Action has helped document and denounce the role of “the West” - led by the U.S., with allies Britain, France, Israel, Germany & then military regimes in Chile, Argentina - in supporting and legitimizing country-wide State repression, including genocides in four distinct Mayan regions in Guatemala, 1978-1983.
In the Maya Achi region of Rabinal, Baja Verapaz, Rights Action has supported a wide range of community-led projects working directly with victim-survivors of the genocide planned and carried out there.
Cashing in on genocide
The 2021 book TESTIMONIO-Canadian Mining in the Aftermath of Genocides in Guatemala documents how the Canadian-led, global mining industry led a renewed wave of mining investment in Guatemala soon after the genocides ended.
