Q9F

List of articles I recently found interesting to read.

• The Road to 1948, and the Roots of a Perpetual Conflict
• A Fanatical Israeli Settlement Is Funded by New York Suburbanites. But recent US sanctions against violent West Bank settlers have put them — and their connections to America

• Kibbutz leader confirms movement’s role in establishing and maintaining Israeli apartheid. The kibbutz has long been celebrated by liberals as an example of Israel's socialist pedigree, but movement head Nir Meir says the “first mission” of kibbutzim was “to conquer the land,” and today it stands ready to “maintain outposts” by Gaza
• How the State of Israel Abuses Holocaust Survivors. With millions of dollars earmarked for their care, how is it possible that even in Israel some shoah victims are living and dying with indignity?
• A Diary of Gaza’s Destruction. A Palestinian poet chronicles the war raging around him
• Defunding UNRWA Was Never About Hamas. The refugee agency is a reminder that Palestinian refugees exist and have inalienable political rights—a truth the Israeli government finds deeply inconvenient.

• Spying, hacking and intimidation: Israel’s nine-year ‘war’ on the ICC exposed.
• How Israeli prison doctors assist in the torture of Palestinian detainees. Israeli doctors share prisoners’ medical information with interrogators to “greenlight” torture, teach interrogators how to inflict pain without leaving physical marks, and even actively engage in acts of torture themselves.
• The Enduring and Racist Trope of Palestinian Rejectionism. here
• Israel’s Descent by Adam Shatz (bypass Paywall)
• Running Amok. The feeds of the IDF depict what Zionism can’t see (bypass Paywall)
• Gazans’ extreme hunger could leave its mark on subsequent generations
• We Must Understand Israel as a Settler-Colonial State. While attending the University of Oklahoma in 1956 – 57, I met a Palestinian petroleum engineering student named Said Abu-Lughod.
• The decimation of Gaza’s academia is ‘impossible to quantify’. With thousands of faculty and students likely killed and campuses destroyed, Palestinian universities in the Strip are barely surviving Israel’s scholasticide.
• Israeli Journalist Gideon Levy on the Killing of Gaza. The dissident Israeli journalist on how relentless dehumanization of Palestinians has led to the obliteration of Gaza, and how the U.S. could have stopped it anytime.
