Guerre Israël-Hamas : pour #MSF, le port artificiel américain est « une #mascarade, une stratégie de #diversion, de la poudre aux yeux »

Caroline Seguin explique que ce n’est pas suffisant et que l’aide « est bloquée aujourd’hui au point d’entrée de Rafah ». En début de semaine dernière, l’armée israélienne a pénétré à Rafah et a pris le point de passage frontalier avec l’Egypte, verrouillant une porte d’entrée majeure pour les convois transportant des aides à la population. La responsable adjointe des urgences de MSF chiffre à « 2 000 » le nombre de camions « qui attendent de rentrer des stocks importants d’aide humanitaire qui attendent en Egypte aujourd’hui ». Pour Caroline Seguin, il s’agit donc d’une « stratégie de communication malsaine et qui tend à cacher la volonté de bloquer l’accès à #Gaza de la part des Israéliens ».

Sen. Lindsey Graham says Israel should do ’whatever’ it has to while comparing the war in Gaza to Hiroshima and Nagasaki
▻https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/sen-lindsey-graham-says-israel-whatever-comparing-war-gaza-hiroshima-n-rcna
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., on Sunday compared Israel’s war against Hamas to the U.S. decision to drop atomic bombs on Japan in World War II during an interview on NBC News’ “Meet the Press.”
“When we were faced with destruction as a nation after Pearl Harbor, fighting the Germans and the Japanese, we decided to end the war by the bombing [of] Hiroshima [and] Nagasaki with nuclear weapons,” Graham said. “That was the right decision.”
L’argument déjà sorti par Boujenah (et d’autres) il y a six mois :
▻https://seenthis.net/messages/1024932
Ce qui me sidère toujours avec ce genre d’argument, balancé sur le ton de l’évidence historique, c’est que ces gens sont tellement racistes qu’il leur est impossible de se rendre compte que l’argument est très facile à inverser.
Parce que si on considère qu’Israël est en train de détruire l’existence même de Gaza, en tout cas bien au-delà de ce qu’ont subi les États-Unis à Pearl Harbor, alors leur propre argument permettrait de justifier la destruction totale de grandes villes israéliennes. C’est tout de même extrêmement con et extrêmement dangereux, mais ils sont trop racistes pour se rendre compte que leur propre raisonnement s’applique aussi aux Palestiniens.
Il semblerait que depuis le début du conflit en Ukraine, la menace nucléaire n’est plus vraiment une menace mais devient au fil des mois une « option ». Une sorte de glissement sémantique qui infuse dans l’opinion qui (chacun pour soi évidemment) devrait se préparer à une nouvelle « gestion de crise ».
Après tout, mettre fin aux guerres en réduisant en cendres (radio-actives) 90 % de l’humanité et de son « environnement », ça peut tenter celles et ceux qui croient qu’iels auront eu la possibilité de se planquer dans des bunkers. Nonobstant, ces 10 % d’éventuel·les survivant·es risquent bien d’avoir à réapprendre à tailler des silex et affuter des bâtons afin de pouvoir s’accaparer les ressources qui demeureront disponibles dan le but d’assurer leurs survies, justement, ainsi que la perpétuation de leur espèce (au détriment de toutes les autres).

As with his past public comments on his Israel policies @robertwrighter, Biden’s CNN interview yesterday needs to always be interpreted through his previous actions, statements as well as the long history of exactly this type of US-Redline/Israeli-Redline dance, one that has occurred so many times over the decades with quite predictable (and usually disastrous) results.
So instead of understanding “redlines” in the customary or generally accepted manner, Biden has once again given the Israeli government plenty of political, tactical and strategic flexibility as have previous US admins (see Big Pines/Little Pines 1982 Lebanon invasion etc.).
By focusing on the US temporarily “not supplying weapons that have been used historically…to deal with Rafah” or the ability to “wage wars in those areas,” Biden has therefore done what several admins in the past have done : they rhetorically and practically delineate a rather narrow line of action that will prompt a temporary (never permanent) US withholding. This allows the Israelis to then,
1) just internally “resource shift” (so existing stocks get used on Rafah in the short and medium term), and over time (and with enough political pressure) the US supplies to supposedly other units/sections of the IDF start to flow as before, but without any accounting/consequences for the internal weapons shifting;
2) with the enhanced response of its enemies to its actions (of course a wider regional escalation in Lebanon etc. would very likely lead to the immediate crumbling of any, even narrow “redlines” for supplies), Israel then is customarily able to argue that it must protect itself and its operations against the reaction(s) and this also works synergistically to rapidly erode any US temporary pauses or withholdings.
And let us not forget 3) that if the Israelis can just come up with a minimally plausible Rafah invasion plan that purports to protect Palestinian civilians, Biden has clearly said this could gain full US support (and then, as in past decades, during the fog of war, those plans breakdown or turn out to be grossly insufficient or aren’t implemented, but this is all after the facts on the ground are established).
Through this historical lens, Biden’s very narrow and pliable redline on #Rafah is very likely to be effectively run through by the Israelis, in a manner and at a time of their choosing.
If Biden had meant the term redline as most of us understand it, he could have, of course, just laid out a clear and irreversible set of policies that could withstand the 3 historical Israeli tactics above which always degrade US roadblocks/opposition.
He chose not to.

Onslaught of violence against women and children in #Gaza unacceptable: UN experts | OHCHR
▻https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2024/05/onslaught-violence-against-women-and-children-gaza-unacceptable-un-experts
“We are horrified at details emerging from mass graves recently unearthed in the Gaza Strip. Over 390 bodies have been discovered at Nasser and Al Shifa hospitals, including of women and children, with many reportedly showing signs of torture and summary executions, and potential instances of people buried alive,” the experts said.
They noted that women, girls and children overall are among those most exposed to danger in this conflict, and that as of 29 April 2024, of 34,488 Palestinians killed in Gaza, 14,500 have been children and 9,500 women. Another 77,643 have reportedly been injured, of which 75% are estimated to be female. Over 8,000 others are reported missing or under the rubble – and the experts noted that at least half of them can be assumed to be women and children. They also noted that an estimated 63 women, including 37 mothers are being killed daily and 17,000 Palestinian children are believed to have been orphaned since the war on Gaza began.

Guerre Israël-Hamas : l’ONU adopte une résolution exigeant un cessez-le-feu immédiat
▻https://www.la-croix.com/international/guerre-israel-hamas-l-onu-adopte-la-resolution-appelant-a-un-cessez-le-feu
Le Conseil de sécurité de l’ONU a adopté lundi 25 mars sa première résolution exigeant un « cessez-le-feu immédiat » depuis le début de la guerre à Gaza, avec 14 voix pour et l’abstention des États-Unis. Washington, qui a pris ses distances avec Israël, avait vu son propre texte repoussé par un double veto de la Russie et de la Chine.
La Croix (avec AFP), le 25/03/2024 à 15:44
Le Conseil de sécurité de l’ONU a adopté lundi 25 mars un texte exigeant un « cessez-le-feu immédiat » à Gaza. La résolution a été adoptée par 14 voix pour et une abstention, celle des États-Unis.
De précédents projets de résolution au cessez-le-feu avaient été plusieurs fois bloqués jusqu’à la semaine dernière, notamment par les États-Unis. Alors qu’Israël, leur allié, persiste à vouloir mener une offensive sur Rafah, dans le sud de Gaza, où sont réfugiés près de 1,5 million de Palestiniens, Washington avait fini par soumettre au vote, vendredi, un projet de résolution soulignant la « nécessité » d’un « cessez-le-feu » à Gaza en lien avec les négociations pour la libération des otages.
Mais le texte américain n’appelait pas explicitement à un cessez-le-feu immédiat, utilisant une formulation estimée ambiguë par les pays arabes, la Chine et la Russie. Ces deux dernières, membres permanents du Conseil de sécurité, avaient alors utilisé leur droit de veto pour barrer la route à la résolution américaine.
Cette fois, le projet de résolution voté était issu du travail de huit des dix membres non permanents du Conseil, qui avaient négocié tout le week-end avec les États-Unis pour tenter d’éviter un nouvel échec, selon des sources diplomatiques.
Libération inconditionnelle des otages
La dernière version de la résolution « exigeait un cessez-le-feu immédiat pour le mois du Ramadan », qui a déjà commencé il y a deux semaines, devant « mener à un cessez-le-feu durable et permanent », et « la libération immédiate et inconditionnelle de tous les otages ».
Contrairement au texte américain rejeté vendredi, il ne lie pas ces demandes aux efforts diplomatiques du Qatar, des États-Unis et de l’Égypte, même s’il « reconnaît » l’existence de ces pourparlers visant à une trêve accompagnée d’un échange d’otages et de prisonniers palestiniens.
La nouvelle résolution réclame d’autre part la « levée de tous les obstacles » à l’aide humanitaire.
Le Conseil, largement divisé sur le dossier israélo-palestinien depuis des années, n’a pu adopter depuis le 7 octobre sur cette question que deux résolutions (sur huit soumises au vote), essentiellement humanitaires. Sans grand résultat : après cinq mois et demi de guerre, l’entrée de l’aide à Gaza, assiégée, reste largement insuffisante et la famine plane.
Le nouveau projet de texte condamne d’autre part « tous les actes terroristes », mais sans mentionner les attaques du Hamas du 7 octobre qui ont entraîné la mort de plus de 1 100 personnes en Israël, pour la plupart des civils.

Israel’s ambassador to the UN, Gilad Erdan, says the resolution failed to demand a ceasefire without “conditioning” it on the release of captives in Gaza, saying it “undermines the efforts to secure their release”.
“It is harmful to these efforts because it gives Hamas terrorists hope to get a ceasefire without releasing the hostages. All members of the council … should have voted against this shameless resolution,” he said.
“The resolution says that taking civilians is in violation of international law. Yet on the other hand, despite the fact that you know Hamas won’t listen to your calls and release the hostages, you demand a ceasefire. Take a moment and think about this moral contradiction,” he continued.

Unicef official tells of ‘utter annihilation’ after travelling length of Gaza | Israel-Gaza war | The Guardian

An aid official who travelled the length of Gaza this week has described scenes of “utter annihilation”, with “nothing left” of what were once thriving and crowded cities in the territory.
“The depth of the horror surpasses our ability to describe it,” said James Elder, a spokesperson with the United Nations Children’s Fund (Unicef).
“As soon as you drive through the north, you get that universal gesture of hunger of people putting their hands to their mouths. A lot of children, women with very gaunt faces. In [the city of] Khan Younis, there is utter annihilation.
“I’ve not seen that level of devastation in 20 years with the UN. People’s coping capacity in the north has been smashed and in the south it is hanging by a thread,” Elder said in an interview on Friday.
Elder said that he saw a dozen “skeletal” children at Kamal Adwan hospital in Beit Lahia in the north of Gaza.
