New Al Jazeera film exposes Israel’s use of rape in jails

"Surviving sexual violence & torture in general & rape is brutal. Imagine when it’s done on a large-scale systemically to a population. It means to destroy the people as such.”

"Settlers & citizens alike have been taken to detention centres to observe.. even [take part] in the humiliation inflicted on Palestinians.”

~Francesca Albanese

"Torture isn’t new to Palestinians": How Israel learned from colonialism

"Israel has practised torture against the Palestinians since the very beginning":

a colonial chain of sexual violence that "Britain rehearsed in Ireland, exported to Palestine, & repeated in Kenya; that France industrialised in Algeria; & that apartheid SA systematised."

Vad är det för syn vi EU-medborgare har på icke-EU-medborgare? Vad är vår människosyn?

Annika Ström Melin i DN om nya EU-lagen so parlamentet sagt ja till, som troligen går igenom. Sverige behöver dock inte säga ja till människoförvar i annat land.

Hon citerar efter EU-parlamentets beslut:
"”Deportationernas era har inletts”, jublade Charlie Weimers efter Europaparlamentets omröstning i slutet av mars."

EU ska deportera migranter och SD jublar – men Sverige behöver inte vara med

Sverigedemokraterna fick som de ville i Bryssel. Men Sverige kan säga nej till EU:s nya migrantläger.

Israel planned the Gaza genocide decades ago

Soldiers in Israel's 1967 6-day war said they routinely committed war crimes "under orders from their commanders."

The soldiers were "to create a reign of terror, integral to Israel’s efforts to expel as many Palestinians as possible".

The accounts, originally collated by Amos Oz & Avraham Shapira, were heavily censored by the IDF.

"... in the most humane way possible."

During its 1967 six-day war, Israel expelled or displaced 300,000 Arabs from the West Bank, Gaza & the Golan Heights.

Israeli official Michael Comay wrote:

The expulsion of Quneitra's Arabs "prompts repeated complaints & inquiries from the Red Cross."

"It seems to us that if there is no alternative, it is better to get rid of the problem at once in the most humane way possible."

"The 1967 Nakba That Israelis Don't Know About"

Just as today, soldier testimonials from the 1967 war show ethnic cleansing & murder was Israeli policy:

"At first I wasn't willing to execute Arabs who weren't resisting," one soldier said. Then we concluded "that we had to kill." We ceased "to see them as human beings."

"300,000 Arabs were expelled or displaced from the West Bank, Gaza & the Golan Heights" in the 6-day war.

It is good that the #CEAS is coming into force today. #Asylum will now be addressed in a uniform and coordinated manner at a European level. EU regulations simplify the process of national implementation. #reducingbureaucracy

In practice, however, the right to individual asylum at external borders and the human rights of asylum seekers must now be guaranteed – this is where I have my concerns.

#eupol #eu

Es ist gut, dass das #GEAS heute in Kraft tritt. #Asyl wird nun einheitlich und gemeinsam auf europäischer Ebene angegangen. Dank der EU-Verordnungen entfällt größtenteils die Umsetzung in nationales Recht. #Bürokratieabbau

In der Praxis müssen jetzt aber das individuelle Recht auf Asyl an den Außengrenzen (#Anerkennungsquote ) und die #Menschenrechte der Asylbewerber gewährleistet werden – und hier habe ich Bauchschmerzen.
