„A world in which a sovereign State of Palestine and Israel co-exist peacefully seems a distant prospect, particularly in light of the 7 October 2023 attacks by Hamas on Israel, and the subsequent Israeli bombardment of Gaza. A high-level UN conference opening on 28 July will, nevertheless, serve as the latest UN-backed attempt to find a way to end the conflict.“

„UN Secretary-General António Guterres has warned that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has reached a breaking point, calling for bold political action to salvage the two-State solution and halt what he described as the systemic dismantling of peace efforts.“

»President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan congratulated France for its decision to recognize the State of Palestine in a phone call with French leader Emmanuel Macron on Sunday.
Macron stated on Sunday that he had a phone call with Erdoğan, and in a social media post in Turkish, the French leader said they discussed the situation in Gaza and “perspective on a #twostatesolution conference.”«

Mardi soir (2025-07-22) à Tel Aviv, plus d'un millier d'entre nous ont marché avec des sacs de farine à la main, lors d'une manifestation d'urgence que nous avons organisée contre la campagne de famine du gouvernement israélien à Gaza.
Nous avons marché parce que nous ne pouvons pas rester silencieux pendant que la nourriture est refusée à des millions de personnes.
Nous ne pouvons pas continuer à vivre normalement pendant que les otages sont abandonnés et que Gaza est effacée.
Nous sommes incrédules face à ce que fait notre gouvernement.
Nous sommes écœurés par les images qui inondent nos téléphones chaque jour : des enfants squelettiques gisant immobiles dans des lits d'hôpitaux surpeuplés, des familles faisant bouillir des herbes pour le dîner, des mères essayant de calmer des bébés qui n'ont pas eu de lait depuis des semaines, et des enfants fouillant les ordures juste pour trouver un morceau de nourriture.
Ce ne sont pas des images lointaines d'une crise humanitaire.
Ces gens sont nos voisins.
Ils sont à une heure de nous, juste de l'autre côté de la clôture.
Alors que nous suivons une routine quotidienne qui ressemble encore à une vie normale, ils vivent et meurent dans une réalité qui a été conçue pour les détruire.
Il n'y a eu aucune couverture de la famine massive à Gaza dans les médias israéliens, et c'est exactement pourquoi nous agissons davantage.
Jeudi 2025-07-17, nous étions devant la chaîne 12 pour exiger qu'ils brisent le silence.
Ce matin, nous avons lancé une campagne WhatsApp. Nos militants ont envoyé plus de 700 messages directement aux journalistes israéliens, les exhortant à rapporter la vérité.
Ce soir, nous manifestons devant les studios de la chaîne 11 (Kan) à Jérusalem, exigeant qu'ils brisent le silence.
Il n'y a aucun moyen de justifier la famine massive.
Il n'y a aucun cadre moral, aucune version de la sécurité, qui puisse expliquer ces morts et exiger d'affamer des millions de personnes.
Et c'est exactement pourquoi nous sommes dans les rues.
Parce que quand ils appellent aux horreurs, nous répondons en nous organisant.
Nous devenons plus forts face à la brutalité parce que nous savons qu'il y a une autre voie à suivre.
Il y a un moyen de renvoyer ce gouvernement raciste et messianique chez lui : en construisant le pouvoir par le bas, en tant que nouvelle majorité de Palestiniens et de Juifs qui refusent de s'abandonner les uns les autres ou d'abandonner cette terre.
Nous n'arrêterons pas de nous battre.
Nous ne permettrons pas à ce gouvernement de nous réduire au silence.
Nous continuerons à nous mobiliser et à descendre dans les rues encore et encore jusqu'à ce que les crimes de guerre prennent fin.
Nous arrêterons cette guerre, nous ramènerons les otages à la maison et nous construirons un avenir enraciné dans la paix et la dignité.
En solidarité,
Standing Together

# English version
Yesterday (2025-07-22) in Tel Aviv, over a thousand of us marched with sacks of flour in our hands, in an emergency protest that we organized against the Israeli government’s starvation campaign in Gaza.
We marched because we cannot remain silent while food is withheld from millions. We cannot go on with life as usual while the hostages are abandoned and Gaza is erased.
We are in disbelief of what our government is doing. We are sickened by the images flooding our phones every day of skeleton children lying motionless in overcrowded hospital beds, of families boiling weeds for dinner, of mothers trying to soothe babies who haven’t had milk in weeks, and of children digging through garbage just to find a scrap of food.
These are not distant images from a humanitarian crisis. These people are our neighbors. They are one hour away from us, just across the fence. While we move through a daily routine that still resembles normal life, they are living and dying in a reality that has been engineered to destroy them.
There has been no coverage of the mass starvation in Gaza in Israeli media, and that’s exactly why we’re taking more action. Last Thursday, we were outside Channel 12 demanding they break the silence. This morning, we launched a WhatsApp campaign. Our activists sent over 700 messages directly to Israeli journalists urging them to report the truth. Tonight, we’re protesting outside the Channel 11 (Kan) studios in Jerusalem, demanding they break the silence.
There is no way to justify mass starvation. There is no moral framework, no version of security, that can explain away these deaths and requires starving millions. And that is exactly why we are in the streets.
Because when they call for the horrors, we respond by organizing. We grow stronger in the face of brutality because we know there is another way forward. There is a way to send this racist, messianic government home: by building power from below, as a new majority of Palestinians and Jews who refuse to give up on each other or on this land.
We will not stop fighting. We will not allow this government to silence us. We will continue to mobilize, and to take the streets again and again until the war crimes come to an end.
We will stop this war, we will bring the hostages home and we will build a future rooted in peace and dignity.
In Solidarity,
Standing Together

I've made 10,000 posts on Mastodon since I joined just under two years ago.
Thanks and thoughts:
- I'm grateful to @admin for running this instance. I made a small contribution to the running costs, and you should do the same.
- Thank you to all who follow and interact with me.
- Thank you to the people I follow for providing so much thought provoking, entertaining, informative, and beautiful content.
- I wish more of the academics and journalists I followed on Xitter had migrated to Mastodon.
- There are times when I feel I am just talking to myself here.
- There are many topics on which I have opinions but which I do not discuss here, either because I am not sufficiently well informed to make a constructive contribution to a discussion, or because for some topics I do not think Mastodon is an appropriate forum for their discussion.
- Partly on account of its current rotten government and the appalling way in which it is currently waging war, Israel is an unpopular country on Mastodon, or at least in the parts of Mastodon that I see. Nevertheless and regardless of how many people here take offence, I will continue to defend the right of Israel to exist. A two state solution, Israel and Palestine recognized as two states living alongside each other, is not utopian and is the only way to ensure peace and dignity for all.
- I use hashtags and so should you!
- I boost a lot because I think it makes Mastodon more interesting. Am I right in this?
