HUGH LANNING says there is no path to peace without dismantling Israel’s control over Palestinian land, lives and resources

AFTER three days of idea exchange and relationship building, the People’s Conference for Palestine ended with a bold call to mobilise: surround the White House on June 8 in protest against Israel’s ongoing offensive against Rafah.
“Biden said he had a red line, remember the red line? He said, if Netanyahu dares go into Rafah, that’s a red line, we the United States will stop sending weapons to Israel,” said Brian Becker, executive director of the Answer Coalition, said during the plenary session entitled “How Do Movements Achieve Transformation?”
“Israel went ahead and invaded Rafah, and what did Biden do? He continued to send the bombs and the missiles to carry out the massacre in Rafah and throughout Gaza. Biden’s red line is a lie!” Becker declared.

The decision highlights the tension between freedom of expression and the state’s role in shaping historical memory at former concentration camps, reports LEON WYSTRYCHOWSKI
