To stop genocide, BDS and more
The International Court of Justice has just taken an historic decision in the Genocide Convention and ratified the acceptability of the South African complaint. "Israel has carried out genocidal actions against the Palestinian people in Gaza, is doing so and is in danger of continuing to do so," and has ordered Israel to stop all genocidal action, to prevent its military from doing so, and to ensure that food, water, medicines and humanitarian needs occupy Gaza and enter the siege. Why do Basque parties not say or even do the same? Of course it prevents them from the interests of their pockets! Corrupt hypocrites, filling the mouth at home of those who have a human right. Unfortunately, in addition to being deformed, they are collaborators of the murderers. What name, if not, does the one who protects and helps the genocide deserve?
Because the PNV government financially supports genocide. The massacre was released by ARGIA: Basque companies sold products worth almost EUR 200 million to Israel in 2022 and, in the first half of 2023, this figure increased by 52%. The Zionist State is among the twenty countries that buy the most in the Basque Country. Over half of the profits are from CAF, of which 3% are from the Basque Government. Well, the Basque government has direct responsibility, as do the Basque companies, and, as the Platform for Accountability with Palestine has recently written, we all have our responsibility.
From the BDS to direct action, all actions are legitimate enough. We must follow all the paths because too much has happened before our eyes.
We only need to move from the word to practice. Among other things, we must multiply the Boycotts, Divestments and Sanctions (BDS) and make them real. In 2005, Palestinian civil society organisations (170 trade unions, political parties, refugee networks, women’s associations, organisations, popular resistance committees and other civil society groups) launched the BDS movement based on the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa to put pressure on Israel. Although the achievements are far from sufficient, significant steps have already been taken, such as the abandonment of investment in Israel by governments of several states such as Sweden, Norway, New Zealand and Luxembourg.
From the BDS to direct action, all actions are legitimate enough. We must use all the stands, roads and forms we have, because it has gone too far before our eyes; because the survival of the remaining Palestinians is only a matter of time.

Predicting the end of anything has become fashionable. The end of the human being, ideologies, community, authority, philosophy, or democracy. Are they labels full of sensationalism?
Maybe it was Francis Fukuyama who started that final fashion. After the collapse of the Berlin... [+]
Bagira prozesuaren emaitza, Herri bidea bide-orria izan zen. Bide-orri honetan, abertzaleen helburua herriari boterea itzultzea dela aipatzen da, eta boterea itzultzeko, herriari burujabetza maila maximoa emanen dioten instituzioak herriari eskaintzea adierazten da. Zehazten da... [+]

Pello Salaburu placed on social networks that within fifteen years the burden of the immigrant population in Bizkaia would multiply to 22% of the total population, which “actually constitutes the threat of the Basque Country”. Of course, thrown in this way, without further... [+]
The sun has risen for the fourth time in the besieged area of the Baiona festivities and I believe that in this northern Basque Country we breathe better, especially because our three Members are from the New People’s Front and we have relegated the third place to the black... [+]

The debate about Joe Biden's cognitive impairment lasts about two years. Sometimes he behaved strangely, sometimes didn't get it right or said things that weren't true, like his son had died in Iraq. However, the liberal establishment considered any doubt about its cognitive state... [+]
I read two or three days ago an article about the ranks of Guillem Martínez and I do not know if I understood it well. He said that under his house he has a ice cream store that had nothing to do with him and that, in recent times, he usually has people as soon as he opens, one... [+]
I'm not very clear if, individually, we have enough power to guide our lives, but we do have to keep trying. Although a lot can be done in groups, every day we have a lonely struggle with ourselves to move forward. Most human beings spend their time standing on the one-way stream... [+]

The crew is one of the hallmarks of the Basques. Every Basque has a crew or, at least, that is what is expected of a Basque born. It is no less, because we could say that the Group is the social unit of the Basque Country, the atom or basic component of our society. In this... [+]
