The Killing of Ezz Al-Din Tamimi in Nabi Saleh And The Ongoing Colonisation of Palestinians

In this livestream I talk about the persecution of the Tamimi family and their relatives and the ongoing colonisation and oppression of Palestinians in apartheid Israel and what we can do to help end it.

Ezz al-Din Tamimi was shot by Israeli soldiers and died after they refused to get him an ambulance. Here’s a video immediately after the shooting of Ezz Al-Din Tamimi

This is not uncommon for the IDF to execute young Palestinians nor to refuse them treatment.

Can We Claim to Support Palestinian Rights and Promote “Regime Change” in Syria?

An excerpt of the very insight Moderate Rebels‘ podcast Ep 18 part 2 with award winning author and journalist Max Blumenthal and The Real News Network journalist and producer Ben Norton. They are joined by independent and experienced journalist Rania Khalek

Here’s the description of the full podcast which can be listened to here:

“Moderate Rebels episode 18 – Max Blumenthal and Ben Norton continue the discussion with Rania Khalek. We explain how our erroneous views on the war in Syria evolved. Max apologizes for his Al Akhbar resignation, and Rania discusses the destructive sectarianism in prominent Arab-American and Muslim-American organizations, many of which get funding from Gulf regimes. We also detail Israel’s support for the Syrian opposition, and show how dishonest the attempts are to liken Salafi rebels to the Palestinians.

This is part 2 of our 3-part interview with Rania Khalek.

My Conversation with Max Blumenthal and Dan Cohen on their upcoming documentary “Killing Gaza”

Livestream conversation with Max Blumenthal and Dan Cohen on their upcoming documentary Killing Gaza

Wednesday Feb 21st at 9.15PM EDT via The Naked Empire

PLEASE SHARE

Killing Gaza is a cinematic chronicle of the crushing toll of Israel’s campaign of disproportionate force, exposing in intimate detail how unbelievable levels violence was directed against the civilian population of Gaza. You will hear their incredible testimonies of survival and how they are coping with the unimaginable losses they suffered. The stories they tell highlight the humanity and courage of a people who have been demonized in Western media as terrorists and worse.

Killing #Gaza is also a portrait of their daily acts of resistance and courage that define the lives of Gaza’s besieged people. For some who appear in our film, resistance means interpreting Palestinian oppression through breakdance performances. For others we will feature, it means poetry, painting, and education about the outside world they have been violently separated from. Then there are those who have taken up arms against their occupier. In Killing Gaza, you will hear members of Gaza’s armed factions explain why they fight —in their own words and without a Western filter.

Killing Gaza promises to be the most politically unflinching and visually stunning film to date on Israel’s 2014 assault on the Gaza Strip, following the war from the battle of Shujaiya to the devastating Israeli assaults on major residential towers at the end of the conflict to the manmade humanitarian catastrophe that followed.

Max Blumenthal and Dan Cohen documented the assault on Gaza during the war and chronicled its horrific aftermath during two seasons of some of the most extreme weather the region has ever experienced. As we waded through the rubble of Gaza’s destroyed border regions, we turned a camera onto the survivors of the slaughter and let them speak for themselves. And Dan returned, week after week, to capture on film the daily struggles of the people of Gaza as they suffered through one of the worst winters in recorded history, and then weathered the sweltering summer heat without electricity and in many cases, without homes.

The 51-day-long Israeli assault on the Gaza Strip in 2014 saw Israel wield more violence against the besieged civilian population than ever before. Over 2200 people were killed, including some 550 children, and 100,000 homes were estimated destroyed. Almost a year and a half later, the reconstruction promised by the international community has not taken place. Instead, a humanitarian catastrophe has taken hold among the traumatized people of Gaza, deepening each day as the international media and Western governments turn their gaze elsewhere.
