That was the idea from day one:

"When we occupy the land, we shall bring immediate benefits to the state that receives us.

We must expropriate gently the private property on the estates assigned to us.

We shall try to spirit the penniless population across the border by procuring employment for it in the transit countries, while denying it any employment in our country.

The property owners will come over to our side. Both the process of expropriation and the removal of the poor must be carried out discreetly and circumspectly."

I just this very minute became a paid subscriber so I can post this fundraiser for a family in Gaza who is having a very hard time. Not that everyone there is not having a hard time but here is an opportunity to do something.

I have set up a system for sending money down to this family. It is frustrating and Kafkaesque and it goes through unpleasant intermediaries and there is commission, but so far it has worked.

PLEASE DONATE!! https://gofund.me/9fe17a5d4 You will not only be helping this family, but you will also be helping all their neighbors as well. I prefer to have my donations go to real people rather than through an organization. There is a lot of corruption. The organizations are not doing so well.

For an unpleasant moment, I was scared I was a stupid old lady getting scammed, so I video called this family without giving any warning and they were exactly as they described themselves. A family of 6, with a baby, living in a bombed-out apartment in Gaza.

You can also donate to this Paypal account: https://paypal.me/Khawlassupport

There is also a Whastapp group where you will get some interesting insights. https://chat.whatsapp.com/Cv0UD460ev55tFTAUsHmh1?mode=gi_t Even if you don’t say a word, bearing witness is still important.

PLEASE DONATE!! Some people just donate $5. God bless them!

At a rally in Perth yesterday an excellent speech was made by a wonderful woman from South Africa stressing the similarities between Israel's "POGROM" against Palestinians and the SA's apartheid system of racial brutality and ethnic cleansing. She insisted that the international efforts to democratise South Africa last Century were what is now needed to overcome the Zionist terror movement of Ben Gvir and like-minded Israelis. Sanctions and real diplomatic pressure are needed, she said. the crowd of protestors agreed.

Zionist plans of removing Palestinians have advanced rapidly and, “become legitimate. Suddenly, everyone became Ben-Gvir" as you quoted him Binoy. That is a chilling example of how far we have to go, way beyond Wong's "Deep concerns" and Albanese's pathetic anger over IDF war crimes being acceptable to Israel. Real action is what is needed and starting now.
