Quiet part out loud: Anti-Israel mobs want one state called ‘Palestine,’ erasing Israel

Published

on



WASHINGTON, D.C. — This weekend, millions of anti-Israel activists marched through the streets of cities in coordinated actions from America’s capital to London, Paris, Madrid and Kuala Lumpar, Malaysia, chanting the familiar refrains of «Free, free Palestine» and «From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.»

But for the first time, communicated frankly in exclusive interviews with Digital, three anti-Israel leaders acknowledged the goal: one state called «Palestine» encompassing modern-day Israel, the West Bank and Gaza, with a Palestinian «right of return» to the new country and equal political, voting and citizenship rights for Palestinians alongside Jews currently living in Israel.

Most significantly, in the political vision they described, Israel would legally cease to exist as a separate Jewish nation-state and Jews would be quickly overwhelmed demographically.

INSIDE THE PROTEST PLAYBOOK TO VILIFY ISRAEL ON ‘GLOBAL DAY OF ACTION’

The current population of Israel is about 10 million, including about 7.8 million Jews, 2 million Palestinian Arabs (including Palestinians and most of them Muslim), and 200,000 people from other communities. There are another estimated 10.2 million Jews worldwide.

There are about 5.5 million Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza and about 8 million Palestinians in the diaspora, totaling about 13.5 million.

The candor of the anti-Israel leaders lays bare the political conclusion of an argument that activists have spent years advancing on the streets, through sympathetic media outlets and in legal forums: that Israel is a «settler colonial» state practicing «apartheid» and «genocide,» and therefore should not continue to exist in its current form as a Jewish state. Israeli leaders have fiercely rejected those allegations, disputing accusations of «genocide» and «apartheid» and maintaining that Israel is the nation-state of the Jewish people with equal civil and political rights for citizens that include Jews, Christians and Muslims.

Advocates for Israel note that the nation’s critics rarely apply the same historical lens of human-rights analysis to Arab and Muslim-majority states, many of which emerged from the collapse of empires, wars and population upheavals that displaced millions, including Jews expelled from their countries, today often restricting political, religious and minority rights.

In Chicago, Hatem Abudayyeh, the Palestinian-American founder of the U.S. Palestinian Community Network and a Muslim, said the new nation would be «one democratic secular state of Palestine.» Jewish Israeli-born community leader Miko Peled, founder of the Palestine House in Washington, D.C., said «the proper name would be Palestine.» And Maryland congressional candidate Sam Husseini, a Palestinian-American Christian, floated another name for the vision of the one state: «1948,» marking the year Israel declared independence and Palestinians commemorate as the «Nakba,» or catastrophe, but he said even Israeli Jews would one day accept another name: «Palestine.»

Their answers provide a striking interpretation from inside a movement where activists have traditionally danced around their demands with euphemisms about «liberation» and media outlets have obscured their answers even when they have been transparent.

On Washington, D.C.’s First Avenue SE, Digital asked Olivia DiNucci, local coordinator for CodePink, a far-left nonprofit, what her group sees as a solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In her work for CodePink, DiNucci disrupts hearings, restaurant meals and town halls to shout at lawmakers and policymakers who support the state of Israel.

«Palestinians in Palestine will decide, DiNucci said.

Asked if «Palestine» includes modern day Israel, she spun around and walked away. Later, she posted a message on social media, saying she was asked «gotcha questions.»

This weekend, protesters signaled their position with certainty, explicitly rejecting the two-state solution that has dominated international diplomacy for decades.

In New York City, the Party for Socialism and Liberation circulated video of protesters marching through the streets chanting: «1-2-3-4. Occupation no more. 5-6-7-8. Israel is a terrorist state.»

Then came the point: «We don’t want no two state!»

In London, the Palestine Solidarity Campaign promoted a 15-second video of a woman with a megaphone shouting: «There is only one state!»

«Palestine, ’48!» protesters responded.

«Say it loud, say it clear!» she continued. «Palestine, you make us proud!»

Back in Washington, D.C., protesters carried signs declaring, «LAND YOU HAVE 2 KILL FOR IS NOT YOURS,» a message that challenged Israel’s claim to the land itself, while a banner proclaiming, «THE FIGHT FOR LIBERATION IS OURS,» framed the struggle as one for the territory. The demonstrators yesterday didn’t address the Hamas attacks on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, but many have called them justified.

ANTI-ISRAEL GROUPS RALLY ACROSS US ON OCTOBER 7 ANNIVERSARY, CHANTING ‘LONG LIVE THE INTIFADA’

The one-state demand is being amplified within a powerful protest infrastructure. The broader «red-green» alliance brings socialist and communist groups together on the streets with Palestinian and Muslim activist organizations, while organizations including the Democratic Socialists of America and nonprofits in the network funded by Neville Roy Singham, an American-born tech tycoon living in Shanghai, help organize, promote and amplify anti-Israel demonstrations.

Singham, has poured $278 million into a pro-communist network, including CodePink, the People’s Forum, the Party for Socialism and Liberation, BreakThrough News and the ANSWER Coalition, which have become major organizing, media and logistical hubs for the protest movement. The result is a powerful infrastructure amplifying slogans such as «Free Palestine» and «from the river to the sea,» even when the organizations and activists doing the amplifying don’t themselves explicitly spell out the one-state political vision described to Digital.

From Chicago, Abudayyeh told Digital that the U.S. Palestinian Community Network advocates for one democratic state across the territory that today encompasses Israel, the West Bank and Gaza.

«Our points of unity, from the very beginning of our existence, included one democratic secular state of Palestine,» he said.

«And for decades and decades, we’ve been saying that…the only true solution that can bring peace and justice to all that live there is … one democratic state,» which includes the West Bank, Gaza and «1948 Palestinian territories,» a term used to describe the land that Israel claimed as a nation in 1948.

This can only happen, he said, if «the racist system of Zionism is dismantled.»

The ADL, a leading Jewish organization based in New York, describes Zionism as a «movement for the self-determination and statehood for the Jewish people in their ancestral homeland, the land of Israel.»

Abudayyeh said the new state would include a «right of return» for Palestinian refugees and their descendants. «Our points of unity from day one included the right of return,» he said.

Activists from a U.S.-based network of groups called «Al-Awda: The Palestine Right to Return Coalition» joined the protest in Los Angeles and posted a message online: «OUR PEOPLE WILL RETURN, PALESTINE WILL BE FREE!

«If all of our refugees, who have the internationally recognized right to return to Palestine, are able to return, and the system, the racist system is dismantled, then all the people there can live in peace and justice,» Abudayyeh told Digital. «That’s our position. It’s always been our position. We’re not going to abandon the five to seven million refugees that we have.»

«They have the right to go back to the homes and lands in which they were exiled,» he explained.

Abudayyeh said that wouldn’t mean removing the people – most of them Jewish – living in Israel.

«It doesn’t mean that we’re going to kick people out,» he said. «It just means that these folks have an internationally recognized right, and you will never get peace and justice there unless you uphold that right.»

«I believe, very clearly, USPCN believes very clearly that there can be peace and justice as long as that system, that racist system of Zionism is dismantled,» Abudayyeh said. «That’s the essence of it.»

Abudayyeh compared the Palestinian movement’s objective to the international campaign against apartheid South Africa. «And we’re getting close to having international consensus today on the question of Israel and Zionism, where Israel doesnt have the «right to exist as a racist, Zionist, apartheid, white supremacist state.»

«That’s what we say,» he continued. «We’re adamant about that. We’re clear about it. Unabashed.»

Digital asked Abudayyeh whether «Palestine» includes modern-day Israel when protest leaders and activists chant «Palestine will be free» or «Free, free Palestine.»

Advertisement

«The majority of the majority of the people, especially in the past period, have moved to that conclusion,» Abudayyeh said.

Husseini, a Palestinian-American journalist running for Congress in Maryland’s 4th Congressional District, offered a similar one-state vision and an unusual proposal for what the country might be called.

Standing on First Avenue SE, between the U.S. Supreme Court and the U.S. Capitol, Husseini told Digital that his long-term vision is «one person, one vote,» coupled with a Palestinian right of return.

Advertisement

«Ultimately, long-term, I that it should be one person, one vote,» Husseini said.

«Why aren’t they allowed back into their homes? So I think that they should,» he said of Palestinian refugees. «I mean, that includes myself. I don’t know that I would actually move back there, but as a descendant of a Palestinian who was forcibly displaced, I should have that right or compensation.»

Husseini offered another possibility for the country’s name.

Advertisement

«I’ve often thought of a novel proposal because people get hung up on the names. Are they going to call it Israel or are they going call it Palestine?» Husseini said.

«I’ve toyed with the idea of calling it 1948, having a country with a number signifying the year of this cataclysm, which should be the last gasp of imperialism.»

If the new state is called Palestine, Husseini said, «I think a lot of Jews, when they think about it, will say, so long as they have equal rights and all are protected, will adopt the term Palestine.»

Standing on Pennsylvania Avenue SE, the roar of the demonstrators getting closer as they marched from the U.S. Capitol to talks at the Palestine House of Freedom, Miko Peled, an Israeli-born Jewish activist, was equally blunt about what a «Free Palestine» means to him.

«Well, our vision, our mission, and our vision is to educate people to see that a free Palestine, which means a post-Zionist, post-apartheid Palestine with equal rights and the right of the Palestinians to return, is the best vision that will benefit everybody who lives there currently, which means Israelis and Palestinians,» he said.

Asked whether that meant one state, he answered yes.

Advertisement

«It’s already one state, it’s just an apartheid state,» Peled said.

«So that’s our vision, to create a real democracy, free Palestine, with equal rights.»

Digital asked what that country would be called.

Advertisement

«Well, historically the country was called Palestine for thousands of years and so it should be called Palestine,» Peled said. «Israel is a new name. They renamed the country 78 years ago, so the proper name would be Palestine.»

For Peled, the familiar protest demand «Free Palestine» has a literal political meaning: One state with the new name «Palestine.»

Trump Russia deal could fuel Putin’s war, ex-NATO commander warns as Zelenskyy says ‘nyet’

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

President Donald Trump’s efforts to reach a diesel agreement with Russia could provide Russian President Vladimir Putin with fresh revenue to fund his war against Ukraine while allowing Moscow to buy time through negotiations it has little intention of honoring, a former NATO commander warned Sunday.

Retired Gen. Philip Breedlove, former NATO supreme allied commander Europe and head of U.S. European Command, told Fox News Digital that Washington also risks undermining Ukraine’s war effort by striking a deal with what he called «the enemy.»

«And so we are cutting a deal with the enemy,» Breedlove said, warning that «all of this money will go into fueling Mr. Putin’s continued attacks in Ukraine.»

The Russian government said Saturday it had partially lifted a ban on diesel exports with immediate effect, following the new agreement between Putin and Trump for Russia to supply the U.S. and global markets, Reuters reported.

As previously reported by Fox News Digital, Trump’s package calls for the release of 300,000 tonnes of diesel «to the American and global marketplace,» followed by 500,000 tonnes in November and another 1 million tonnes afterward.

The diesel agreement preceded Trump’s announcement Sunday of what he called an «energy ceasefire» between Russia and Ukraine, with the president saying both sides had agreed to halt attacks on energy infrastructure.

«Effective immediately, there is an ENERGY CEASEFIRE in the War between Russia and Ukraine. Both parties have agreed. Do not break it!» Trump wrote on Truth Social.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, however, indicated that Ukraine had not been informed of a finalized ceasefire agreement but expressed willingness to halt attacks on Russian energy facilities if Moscow reciprocated. He also accused Putin of repeatedly rejecting peace proposals and continuing strikes on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure.

«Ukraine has proposed many de-escalatory steps. Putin had one answer to all of them – ‘nyet,’» Zelenskyy wrote on X.

«We do hope that he will finally say something to America, Ukraine, and the entire world that will lead to a real and dignified peace,» he added.

Zelenskyy also said Russian forces had carried out more than 200 strikes on Ukraine’s electricity generation and transmission facilities over the past week, along with 17 strikes targeting gas and oil infrastructure.

He said the attacks had killed more than 150 people and wounded more than 700 over the past week.

Trump’s «energy ceasefire» announcement followed tension between Washington and Kyiv over Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian oil refineries, a component of Ukraine’s strategy to weaken Moscow’s ability to finance its military campaign.

Breedlove argued that Russia and Ukraine are pursuing different objectives, accusing Moscow of targeting Ukrainian civilians and critical infrastructure while describing Kyiv’s attacks on Russian energy facilities as an effort to disrupt the revenue sustaining Putin’s war.

«Russia is carrying on a campaign of what we call counter value. In other words, Russia is attacking the Ukrainian people and trying to force their society to separate themselves from their president, President Zelenskyy,» Breedlove said.

Breedlove also predicted Washington would pressure Zelenskyy to suspend attacks on Russia’s oil industry despite their strategic importance.

«What I expect will happen is the United States will force or try to force Zelenskyy to stop bombing the petrochemical business in Russia,» he said.

Trump has vehemently criticized Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries, arguing that they are disrupting global diesel supplies and driving up costs for American farmers and ranchers.

Meanwhile, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent defended the administration’s efforts to increase diesel supplies.

«We’re going to do it with all the legal authorities we have,» Bessent said Sunday on Fox News. «This is good for the American people, bringing these diesel prices down,» he said of the new deal.

Separately, appearing on ABC News’ «This Week,» Zelenskyy offered to organize Ukrainian elections if Putin agreed to a reciprocal 60-day ceasefire, although holding a vote would face legal and logistical obstacles under Ukraine’s martial law.

Breedlove also expressed deep skepticism that Putin would honor any such ceasefire, citing what he described as a pattern of Russian attacks following negotiations with Trump. «Russia has never kept a promise to this president in this war,» Breedlove said.

«He’s never changed his expectations, and he’s never delivered on his promises. Three out of four of the big cases, the very next day or that same night after the president and Mr. Putin talked, Mr. Putin launched huge attacks in Ukraine,» Breedlove continued.

Breedlove also called for a tougher U.S. response.

«We now need an administration that leads from power. We say all the time, ‘strength through power,’ but when it comes to Russia, our demonstrated position is continued conflict through weakness,» Breedlove warned.

«He started this war. This war is to benefit Russia, and this war is to keep Mr. Putin in power. And our administration needs to tell him to stop.»

Trump and Rubio weigh firing Kimberly Guilfoyle as misconduct and donor bailout allegations mount

Published

on



U.S. Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle may soon be fired amid reports she sought a six-figure credit card bailout from a Trump donor while offering access to administration officials, adding to mounting allegations over her conduct in Athens.

President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are «extremely pissed off» by Guilfoyle’s reported conduct and are weighing her removal, The Associated Press reported Sunday, citing a senior U.S. official.

The official told the AP that a decision on what action to take would likely come this week after Monday’s Columbus Day holiday. No departure has been confirmed.

Guilfoyle, onetime fiancée of Donald Trump Jr., came under scrutiny this week after The Wall Street Journal reported that she asked Trump donor Eric Deters to pay off a $100,000 American Express bill shortly before her Senate confirmation hearing.

According to messages reviewed by the Journal, Guilfoyle urged Deters to wire the money directly to American Express, saying the transaction would not leave a paper trail, while offering to help him gain access to senior Trump administration officials. Deters said he never made the payment.

Guilfoyle’s attorney, Jesse Binnall, disputed the authenticity of the messages.

The allegations followed an earlier Journal investigation into Guilfoyle’s conduct in Greece, including claims that she promoted the interests of Greek construction and energy company Aktor Group and allowed its registered lobbyist, Christos Marafatsos, to accompany her to private diplomatic meetings with senior officials.

The Journal also reported that Guilfoyle suggested at a dinner with Greek officials that the U.S. would undermine their government, citing political developments in Romania. Greece’s foreign minister has since said there was no need to summon Guilfoyle for an explanation because the country’s energy minister denied that any threat had been made.

Separately, the State Department’s Office of Inspector General opened an investigation into allegations involving Guilfoyle’s treatment of embassy employees, private travel, acceptance of gifts and relationships with business interests, according to a report from the Daily Mail.

Sources described a hostile workplace in which Guilfoyle allegedly threatened to fire employees. They also claim that she demoted members of her security detail over minor incidents, including an officer who reportedly failed to answer a 4 a.m. request for ice while she was vacationing in Mykonos.

The inspector general’s office declined to confirm or deny the existence of an investigation. Binnall told the Daily Mail that «any implication of wrongdoing by the Ambassador is unsupported.»

The allegations have drawn scrutiny from congressional Democrats, including Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., and Rep. Gregory Meeks, D-N.Y., who have called for a review of Guilfoyle’s conduct. Meeks urged her removal if the allegations were substantiated.

Vice President JD Vance addressed the controversy Friday, cautioning against rushing to judgment while acknowledging that misconduct should carry consequences.

«Let’s actually see what the facts are. Let’s see what the truth is,» Vance told reporters in Ohio. «And obviously, if there was something bad that happened, then people have to suffer consequences for it.»

Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who visited Greece this week and delivered remarks with the backdrop of Acropolis, declined to address the allegations directly.

«You guys walk around thinking that because some source told you something and you reported it, it’s the gospel. It’s not the gospel,» Rubio told reporters Thursday.

Rubio had defended Guilfoyle’s performance a day earlier, saying, «Our ambassador has been a strong ambassador here.»

El presidente Mulino confirma una llamada con Delcy Rodríguez tras el terremoto que sacudió Panamá

Published

on



José Raúl Mulino confirmó que habló por teléfono con Delcy Rodríguez, quien se puso a su disposición con la experiencia venezolana en gestión de terremotos, apenas un día después de que un sismo de magnitud 7.7 sacudiera el centro de Panamá, según detalló la agencia EFE. El gesto llama la atención porque el Gobierno panameño nunca reconoció a la mandataria interina venezolana.

“Hoy tuve una conversación con la presidenta interina de Venezuela, Delcy Rodríguez, que me puso a disposición por toda la experiencia”, declaró el presidente panameño este sábado durante un recorrido por las zonas del interior golpeadas por el movimiento telúrico, destacó EFE.

Fue la primera vez que el mandatario informó públicamente de un contacto con la vicepresidenta y excanciller del depuesto Nicolás Maduro, capturado por Estados Unidos el 3 de enero pasado.

El suelo se abrió en Panamá: La carretera de Mariato colapsa y deja al descubierto la furia del terremoto

El terremoto dejó daños materiales pero ninguna víctima fatal

El sismo de magnitud 7.7 azotó Panamá el viernes 9 de octubre y provocó el colapso de una iglesia colonial y de un hotel en la región central del país. Las autoridades informaron 27 heridos, ninguno de gravedad, y descartaron muertes.

El daño se concentró en tres de las diez provincias panameñas, todas cercanas al epicentro, ubicado junto a la localidad de Pitaloza Arriba, en Herrera. El reporte oficial más reciente contabilizó 426 viviendas afectadas, donde habitan 2,130 personas, además de 419 escuelas y varios tramos de carretera dañados.

Advertisement

El Gobierno panameño decretó el estado de emergencia nacional y habilitó hasta USD 100 millones para atender la crisis. Por el momento no existe una cifra oficial de pérdidas materiales totales.

Venezuela enfrentó en junio su propia tragedia sísmica

La oferta de Rodríguez remite a un antecedente reciente y mucho más letal. El 24 de junio pasado, un doblete sísmico de magnitud 7.2 y 7.5 devastó el litoral central venezolano y dejó, según cifras del propio Gobierno de Rodríguez, al menos 6,509 muertos, 14,239 viviendas con daños moderados y 11,001 con afectaciones graves.

El Ejecutivo venezolano no entregó cifras consolidadas de desaparecidos y recibió fuertes cuestionamientos por su manejo de la emergencia.

La iniciativa ciudadana Desaparecidos Terremoto Venezuela denunció más de 29,000 personas en paradero desconocido tras el episodio.

Esa experiencia, con todo lo controvertido de su gestión, es la que ahora Caracas pone sobre la mesa para asistir a Panamá.

Una llamada inédita en medio de una relación diplomática congelada

Rodríguez asumió la presidencia interina el 5 de enero, dos días después de que fuerzas estadounidenses capturaran a Maduro y a su esposa, Cilia Flores, en un operativo militar en Caracas.

Panamá nunca reconoció ese gobierno interino. Por eso, la conversación revelada por Mulino marca un giro en el vínculo bilateral, aunque el mandatario no detalló si la llamada implica algún tipo de acercamiento político más allá de la asistencia humanitaria.

Rodríguez, al frente del país tras la captura de Maduro, gestionó en junio un sismo doble que dejó miles de muertos, y esa experiencia reciente —aunque muy cuestionada— fue lo que trasladó en su llamada con Mulino.

La región y Estados Unidos se volcaron a asistir a Panamá

Mulino detalló que también conversó por teléfono con la presidenta de Costa Rica, Laura Fernández, y que el viernes recibió mensajes de apoyo del presidente de Israel, Isaac Herzog, y de Donald Trump, canalizados a través de sus secretarios de Estado, Marco Rubio, y de Guerra, Pete Hegseth. Según el mandatario, también se comunicaron “todos los presidentes del área centroamericana”.

“Lo importante aquí es que vamos a trabajar. Los gobiernos de Ecuador, de Colombia, de Chile, que son países pues que pueden poner a disposición nuestra, y rápido, la ayuda”, afirmó Mulino ante los periodistas.

El presidente agregó que varios organismos multilaterales “han ayudado y que van a seguir ayudando financieramente al Estado” panameño, sin precisar montos ni nombres de esas entidades.

Las réplicas no cesan y la alerta de tsunami ya fue levantada

El sismo del viernes generó más de 100 réplicas, según el Instituto de Geociencias de Panamá, incluidas varias de magnitud superior a 5.5.

El Sistema de Alerta de Tsunamis de Estados Unidos había emitido una alerta para las costas de Panamá, Colombia, Ecuador, Nicaragua y Guatemala, que fue desactivada horas después al no confirmarse riesgo real de olas destructivas.

El Aeropuerto Internacional de Tocumen suspendió brevemente sus operaciones por protocolo de seguridad y las retomó una vez verificadas las condiciones de las instalaciones.
