Israel is trying to collapse the Palestinian Authority. The first step is destroying the Palestinian economy.

As countries around the world recognize a Palestinian state, Israel is doing everything it can to prevent the possibility of any future state. One way it plans on doing that is through financial strangulation

The recognition of Palestine: what it does, what it doesn’t do, and why now

The recognition of Palestine as a state is more of a symbolic gesture than a meaningful act, like imposing sanctions on Israel would be. Still, it shows that even Israel's allies have been forced to take action as Israel’s genocide in Gaza deepens.

How the West Normalizes the Crimes of Zionism

There is no end in sight for the massacre in Gaza. Nearly two years after the start of Al Aqsa Flood, the United Nations Human Rights Council has—finally—declared Israel’s war in Gaza genocide. Seventy-two pages, with hundreds of footnotes, and a litany of atrocity stories catalogue the devastating human destruction. The details are gruesome. Extermination, torture, sexual violence, and starvation are not outliers but the systematic instruments of genocide.

Apparently the announcement was just another empty gesture and meaningless declaration because they aren't going to enforce it. 🤬🇮🇱🤬🇹🇷🤬🇮🇱🤬🇩🇪🤬🇺🇲🤬
