It could be true that she broke the law.

Breaking the law on this topic is not hard in France, since unfortunately it is part of the (post)colonial countries that equate anti-zionism with antisemitism.

So criticizing the settler colonial state of Israel can mean you break the law, without taking into consideration that Zionism is a political movement that has been criticized by Jews since its inception. Jewish voice for Peace have a great article about it: Our Approach to Zionism. And they are not the only ones.

Or supporting that Palestinians have human rights like any other person on this planet - like to be against Israel’s apartheid for example - is considered terrorism, more often than not.

Please, let’s not be so quick to defend France or any colonial country

Edit: A relavant article. It’s in relation to the Lellouche law, from Haaretz - BDS a Hate Crime? In France, Legal Vigilance Punishes anti-Israel Activists

Ban Apartheid Israel from Sports

Palestinian players and athletes are routinely attacked, imprisoned and killed. Athletes are denied freedom of movement to attend their own matches, competitions and trainings. Palestinian stadiums and sports infrastructures have been bombed and destroyed. Israel even prevents sports equipment from being imported and sports facilities from being developed.

Racism against Palestinians is institutionalized in Israeli sports – from segregated youth football leagues to anti-Palestinian hate from fan clubs that goes routinely unpunished.

In addition, Israeli football and basketball clubs based in illegal settlements are allowed to compete in official Israeli leagues, making international governing bodies FIFA and FIBA complicit in Israel’s violations of international law.

Despite all this, Western dominated sports bodies have looked the other way, refusing to take action. More than 300 Palestinian sports clubs and dozens of civil society organizations are calling to #BanIsrael from the Olympics. Join us as we seek to ban Israel from international sports forums, including the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and FIFA, until it ends its grave crimes against Palestinians and its attacks on Palestinian sports.

This NYT article unfortunately fails to mention the thousands of oil lobbyists attending COP29.

COP29: What you need to know about the global climate summit - Amnesty International:

Like previous climate summits, COP29 will host many participants whose agendas are seriously at odds with climate justice. Thousands of fossil fuel lobbyists, along with the heads of oil giants like Shell and BP, are expected to be in attendance. These participants have used previous summits to advance their own interests, opposing essential efforts to phase out fossil fuels and pushing for false solutions like carbon offsetting. Amnesty International is calling for a robust conflict of interest policy to prevent fossil fuel lobbyists undermining the aims of global climate treaties.

Canada’s mining tradition is closely related to colonialism.

Check out the Canadian encyclopedia, Mining :

Pre-contact Aboriginal use and trade of Canada’s rich mineral resources included copper, gold, silver and chert. European exploration and colonization of northern North America was partially motivated by the search for valuable minerals. In 1577–8, Martin Frobisher established a mining operation at Baffin Island (…)

Edit: Just found a super long list of Canadian Mining Assets (CMAs), from all over the world excluding Canada, by Country and Region. This list is from 2021 and 2022 by the Canadian government. They’re everywhere like, scary stuff.

I suppose a more accurate title would be:

“IDF unsuccessfully tries to distance itself from ‘no return’ remarks about north Gaza evacuees”

The problem is not that they are not actively working on solving this Zionist war, the Israeli apartheid or its settler colonialism.

The problem is that they don’t have a decent position on the topic, so they are trying to discard it all together.

For those focused on the Israel-Gaza war, she has tried to emphasize the stakes of the climate crisis. “I mean, don’t you want to pass down a better world to the next generation?”

So for those focused on the Israel-Gaza war, she tried to change the topic. Terrible approach.

A better world to the next generation? While Zionists have been destroying the world of their neighbors with bombardments for over a year and keep doing so with no end in sight? While Zionists are actively participating in an effort to eliminate the next generation of Palestinians? So the actual suggestion is to disregard these facts, for a better world for everyone, except Palestinians.

Enough for sure, but not for the reasons mentioned in this article.

We can do both!

I think I understand how you feel, in the sense I had a similar despair when I first landed in this community. Then I took a look around in this instance and found the slrpnk wiki page. Even just reading it was soothing for me, in a realistic way. If you feel like, take a look at it.

Please do keep in mind that Zionists and Jews are not synonyms. Jews have been opposing Zionism since its inception and keep doing so in large numbers. See also:

Our Approach to Zionism - JVP - Jewish Voice for Peace

Jewish Voice for Peace is guided by a vision of justice, equality and freedom for all people. We unequivocally oppose Zionism because it is counter to those ideals.

On top of what you say, I would also suggest the following:

What is Solarpunk | Solarpunk is a Revolt of Hope Against Despair | …

I’m not sure I understand. This article talks about the Amazon fires and the criminals they mention are those that have been illegally ranching cattle there? Not the major deforestation companies for example? Did I perhaps miss something?

It would be great if these approaches would actually contribute in a meaningful way. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to be the case.

This is an article with some relevant info:

Climeworks’ “Mammoth” vacuum cleaner is not a solution to the climate crisis

Climeworks’ newest DAC plant, Mammoth, is purported to capture ten times the amount of CO2 as Orca; some 36,000 tonnes of CO2 per year. (…) If 36,000 tonnes sounds like a big number, it’s not: It equates to one one-millionth of our annual global emissions. Even if Climeworks and other DAC companies do build hundreds of these DAC plants, it would not equate to even one per cent of current annual global emissions.

From our world in data on CO₂ emissions:

we now emit over 35 billion tonnes each year

May I add that these notes where provided to the NYT by the Israeli military?

Minutes of Hamas’s secret meetings, seized by the Israeli military and obtained by The New York Times,

So after all the debunked fabricated lies that Israel has spread thanks to the press during the last 12 months, are we supposed to take what the IDF gives in good faith?

It looks like the U.S. Journalist Jeremy Loffredo was released

Although an Israeli judge granted his release from police custody, he was ordered to remain in the country until October 20, allowing investigators more time to bring additional allegations or to further interrogate Loffredo,

Israeli police had held Loffredo, an independent journalist from New York, on suspicion of assisting an enemy in war, a serious allegation that carries a maximum sentence of life imprisonment or death,

“The claim that Loffredo and The Grayzone represent Israel’s enemy in wartime merely suggests that the Israeli government views the American people and free press as a legitimate target,”

The statement also called on the U.S. State Department to come to Loffredo’s defense, saying that the U.S. “has an obligation to defend its journalists who are merely adhering to their ethical obligation to inform the public of pertinent facts.”

One desired outcome — if the movement were to gain enough support — would be to deprive big-time polluters such as BP, Chevron, Exxon Mobil and Shell of the funds they need to keep investing in new oil and gas fields.

In relation to the above passage of the article, here is what the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement has to say about Chevron:

Chevron has been the main international actor extracting fossil gas claimed by Israel in the Eastern Mediterranean since it acquired Noble Energy in 2020. With its extracting activities, Chevron is implicated in Israel’s policy and practice of depriving the Palestinian people of their right to sovereignty over their natural resources. Chevron’s extraction activities generate billions of dollars in revenue for apartheid Israel and its war chest, helping to fund the ongoing genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza, as well as its regime of settler-colonialism, apartheid and military occupation. Chevron fuels apartheid and environmental devastation.

The BDS Movement issued a call to boycott both Siemens and Chevron in 2022, with campaigning around Chevron previously focused on divestment. Now, we are calling on supporters of Palestinian rights and climate justice to escalate pressure on Chevron by boycotting Chevron gas stations and gas stations owned by Chevron, including Texaco and Caltex. There are thousands of Chevron, Texaco, and Caltex gas and petrol stations worldwide. (…)

U.S. Aid to Israel in Four Charts || Council on Foreign Relations || 31 Mai 2024

Israel has been the largest cumulative recipient of U.S. foreign aid since its founding, receiving about $310 billion (adjusted for inflation) in total economic and military assistance.

I would argue that Zionists started killing children in 1947.

Israel’s siege now blocks 83% of food aid reaching Gaza, new data reveals

New data has revealed the scale of aid obstruction, and the consequential drastic fall in aid entering Gaza. This is driving a humanitarian disaster, with the entire population of Gaza facing hunger and disease, and almost half a million at risk of starvation.

Data analysis by organisations working in Gaza has found that as a consequence of the Israeli government’s obstruction of aid:

• 83% of required food aid does not make it into Gaza, up from 34% in 2023.This reduction means people in Gaza have gone from having an average of two meals a day to just one meal every other day. An estimated 50,000 children aged between 6-59 months urgently require treatment for malnutrition by the end of the year.
• 65% of the insulin required and half of the required blood supply are not available in Gaza.
• Availability of hygiene items has dropped to 15% of the amount available in September 2023. One million women are now going without the hygiene supplies they need.
• Only around 1,500 hospital beds in Gaza remain operational, compared to around 3,500 beds in 2023 which was already well below sufficient to meet the needs of a population of more than 2 million people. By comparison, cities of similar size, such as Chicago and Paris average 5 to 8 times more beds than in Gaza.
• 1.87 million people are in need of shelter with at least 60% of homes destroyed or damaged (January 2024). Yet tents for around just 25,000 people have entered Gaza since May 2024.
