4 000 poliser och militärer i Paris – inför orolig fotbollsmatch

4 000 poliser och militärer i Paris – inför orolig fotbollsmatch

I samband med en match mellan den israeliska klubben Maccabi Tel Aviv och Ajax i Amsterdam greps 62 personer i torsdags förra veckan. Enligt nyhetsbyrån AFP attackerades de israeliska supportrarna efter att ha rivit ner och bränt palestinska flaggor i Amsterdam – och bland annat The Times of Israel har rapporterat att supportrarna ska ha skanderat hatiska slagord gentemot araber och palestinier. I sociala medier cirkulerade videos där de israeliska supportrarna utropade ”det finns inga skolor i Gaza för det finns inga barn kvar” tillsammans med videor där propalestinska demonstranter attackerade israeliska fotbollssupportrar och skrek ”det här är för barnen!” Stort säkerhetspådrag vid arenan I eftermälet av våldsamheterna fördömde bland annat Nederländernas premiärminister Dick Schoof och Sveriges statsminister Ulf Kristersson attackerna som antisemitiska. Minst fem israeliska fotbollssupportrar fördes till sjukhus och Israels premiärminister Benjamin Nethanyahu bestämde att man skulle flyga hem de israeliska supportrarna. Nu ska israeliska Maccabi Tel Aviv spela nästa Nations League-match mot Frankrikes lag i Paris och den franska polisen har ett stort säkerhetspådrag med 4 000 poliser och militärer på plats för att förhindra eventuella våldsamheter. – Här vid Stade de France där jag står just nu är det väldigt hög säkerhet med mycket poliser runt omkring mig och människor som har fått gå omvägar för att kunna ta sig hem till sina bostäder. Men ändå lugnt så som det ser ut nu några timmar bort, säger utrikesreporter Jennifer Paterson. 1600 säkerhetsvakter inne på Stade de France Fransk säkerhetstjänst har kallat matchen på torsdag kväll ett ”högriskevent” och franska inrikesministern Bruno Retailleau har sagt att han kommer att bevaka matchen. – Det är ett exceptionellt säkerhetspådrag som man pratar om och man verkligen har omringat hela området här, vanligtvis brukar man kunna komma betydligt närmre själva arenan, säger Jennifer Paterson. Hon själv måste stå några minuter bort från arenan eftersom man inte kan komma närmre utan att visa upp en biljett till matchen tillsammans med ett personligt ID-kort. – Det är väldigt ovanligt att man behöver göra för den här typen av match. Sen utöver det så är det 4 000 poliser och militärer som har satsat in. Inne på själva arenan kommer man också ha 1600 säkerhetsvakter, säger Jennifer Paterson. ”Vill visa att vi står tydligt här i Frankrike” Hittills har man sålt cirka 20 000 biljetter till matchen och aktivister har försökt få matchen stoppad. Inrikesministern har försökt stoppa alla palestinska flaggor och vill bara tillåta den franska och den israeliska under matchen. – Det har varit mycket diskussioner. Kanske inte så mycket om att ställa in men framförallt om att placera den någon annanstans där det skulle vara lugnare att hålla den. Jag hörde till och med någon politiker som pratade om att man skulle omlokalisera den ner till Korsika istället, säger Jennifer Paterson. I fransk media har inrikesministern även uttalat sig om säkerhetspådraget inför matchen. – Man vill visa att vi står tydligt här i Frankrike för att man ska kunna hålla den här typen av event. Man ska inte backa för några hot och man menar också att det säkerhetspådraget som man har här är så pass högt så att det inte ska behöva ske några allvarliga saker här ikväll utan man menar att säkerheten är så pass bra, säger utrikesreporter Jennifer Paterson.

Gaza, just nu

Gaza, just nu

▸ Kriget mellan Israel och Hamas har nu pågått i över ett år, och förödelsen i Gaza är enorm. Hus, skolor och sjukhus ligger i ruiner, och bristen på mediciner, mat och vatten är akut. Nästan två miljoner människor är på flykt, och humanitära organisationer larmar om att en hungerkatastrof är nära. Samtidigt stiger dödstalen ständigt, och enligt FN är 70 procent av de som dött under krigets första sju månader kvinnor och barn. Hur akut är situationen för invånarna i Gaza? Gäst: Mia Hejdenberg, sjuksköterska och medicinsk humanitär rådgivare på Läkare Utan Gränser. Producent och programledare: Olivia Bengtsson. Klipp i avsnittet: Chanel 4, SVT.

Israel begår brott mot mänskligheten – omvärlden uppmanas svara

Israel begår brott mot mänskligheten – omvärlden uppmanas svara

Det finns inga militära skäl som kan rättfärdiga förflyttningen av i stort sett hela Gazaremsans befolkning – ofta gång på gång, enligt Human Rights Watch (HRW). Därmed har Israel gjort sig skyldiga till krigsbrott och brott mot mänskligheten, enligt en rapport från människorättsorganisationen. Israels krigföring strider mot krigets lagar, konstaterar de. ”Israels regering kan inte påstå att de skyddar palestinier när de dödar dem längs med flyktvägar, bombar så kallat säkra zoner och skär av mat, vatten och hälsovård”, säger Nadia Hardman, flykting- och migrationsforskare på HRW. HRW uppmanar omvärlden att svara med att införa sanktioner och stoppa vapenförsäljning till Israel. De manar även Internationella brottmålsdomstolen (ICC) att utreda tvångsförflyttningarna – och förhindrandet att återvända för dem som tvingas på flykt – som brott mot mänskligheten. Krigets lagar slår bland annat fast att tvångsförflyttning av civila enbart får ske i exceptionella fall, av absolut nödvändiga militära skäl, eller för befolkningens säkerhet. Om förflyttning ändå sker måste det finnas säkerhetsgaranter och ordnade boenden för dem som tvingas från sina hem. Dessutom måste de förflyttade tillåtas att återvända hem så fort det är möjligt – men i stället har Israel medvetet gjort stora delar av Gazaremsan obeboelig, konstaterar HRW.

On Monday, Israel conducted dozens of airstrikes on the Gaza Strip, after Palestinian militants fired barrages of rockets at southern Israeli cities in the latest fighting.

And you voted in your thousands, for an episode on horrifying serial-killer scumbag, Israel Keyes.Keyes didn’t earn his place among America’s most terrifying serial killers only for his brutality, or coldness. The most horrifying thing about his tale is how comprehensively he got away with it.Travelling thousands of miles across the US, sometimes spending years researching a single kill, and with no discernible victim profile – Keyes operated completely under the radar for decades. He considered himself a master of the serial-killing craft.

Should Israel Ransom Hostages? (Updated)

When we first released an episode on captured soldiers, back in August 2023, we had no idea that we were mere months away from the worst hostage crisis Israel had ever experienced.  On October 7, 2023, Hamas murdered 1,200 people – mostly civilians – and dragged another 240 to Gaza, plunging Israel into a nightmare. Hamas did not discriminate. They took babies as young as 9 months, elderly people well into their 80s, and everyone in between. Some of those 240 hostages have been rescued or released. Some were murdered in captivity. Three were killed mistakenly by “friendly fire.” But as of December 2023, 129 remain in Gaza, their fates and welfare unknown. And the questions we raised back in August remain more relevant than ever.  ~~~~   Sources: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tO4xtCQdNDbcO3THe1elsiNrvREOuG6FjD3gcq5hDnA/edit?usp=sharing

Israel and Palestine - A Complex History

The conflict in Israel and Palestine predates even the creation of the state of Israel in 1948. This episode explores the complicated history of Israel and Palestine, chronicling the ancient history of the temples in Jerusalem, to the Crusades, to the settlement of the land by Arabs almost 1,000 years ago, and to the more recent wars of 1948, 1967, the Intifadas, and the state of the conflict in present day.
