MESOP NEWS : ICE CREAM OR FAMILY UNIFICATION ? – Israel: interior ministry refuses to process family unification requests
July 22, 2021 at 3:09 pm | AL MONITOR
The Israeli Ministry of the Interior is refusing to process family unification applications submitted by Palestinian men married to Israeli citizens, although the occupation authorities are required by law to consider these requests after the expiration of the extended Citizenship and Entry to Israel Law.
According to Haaretz, Interior Minister Ayelet Shaked directed the Population and Immigration Authority not to process applications pending the formulation of a policy to handle this file. This follows the failure of the coalition government to extend the temporary law regulating the ban on family unification requests.
Turkish-backed rebels leave trail of abuse and criminality in Syria’s Afrin
The serene topography of the Syrian enclave of Afrin belies the power vacuum and violence now afflicting many of the territories under the control of Turkish-backed forces in the war-torn country’s northeast.
Dan Wilkofsky + Mohammed Hardan AL MONITOR July 22, 2021 – During 17 days of captivity, Leila Mohammed Ahmed witnessed, helplessly, 10 young women take their own lives after being raped by members of the Sultan Murad Brigade, a Sunni rebel faction which operates under the banner of the Turkish-backed Syrian National Army (SNA). The 63-year-old Kurdish woman from Afrin, the majority Kurdish enclave in northern Syria that has been occupied by Turkish-backed forces since January 2018, relayed to Al-Monitor the suffering of her fellow detainees in a telephone interview. “Some used belts to hang themselves, some pens or other sharp objects which they jabbed in their throats. Then there were the poor girls who just banged their heads against the wall until they collapsed,” Ahmed said.
MESOPOTAMIA NEWS : THE ISRAELIS / UNILEVER ICE CREAM WAR
23 7. 2021 As US & Israeli politicos & supporters of Israel attack Ben & Jerry’s for allegedly undermining chances for peace by standing up to settlements, settler spox says quiet part out loud – i.e., that keeping West Bank forever, not allowing a Palestinian state IS the policy.

I gotta admit: I respect for @benandjerrys decision to stop selling in Jewish Judea. They have a hateful anti-Israel position and they took it all the way. Our answer to them should be just as vociferous: Dismantle the PA and assert Jewish sovereignty in our land immediately.

MESOPOTAMIA NEWS : US reaffirms stance on Turkey’s S-400, support for Syria’s Kurds
The White House has maintained the previous administration’s demands that Ankara dispose of the Russian missile defense system.
Al-Monitor Staff July 22, 2021 – The Biden administration won’t budge on the previous administration’s demands that NATO ally Turkey get rid of Russia’s S-400 missile defense system. The United States will also continue to support the Syrian Kurdish-led People’s Protection Units (YPG), a top State Department official assured lawmakers July 21.
MESOP NEWS : HEZBOLLAH IS THE LEBANESE STATE
22 July 2021 – That’s correct. “State within a state” framework is false–on both ends. 1- it’s wrong re Hezbollah’s position, and 2- it’s wrong in identifying the Lebanese polity. Hence, the premise of US policy –“strengthening state institutions”– is both flawed and precisely pro-Hezbollah.

ICYMI: Here is my detailed paper on how Hezbollah exerts power over the state in #Lebanon. I disagree with the “state within a state” framework. Here we have a group that controls the levers of power in the state. The political system enables #Hezbollah to do so. twitter.com/linakhatibuk/s…
22 July 2021 – Similarly, it confuses the nature of Hezbollah with terminology like “non-state actor,” which it tries to resolves through the concept of hybridity. Those are likewise inadequate categories, which emanate in part from a misunderstanding of Lebanon as a “state.”

One problem with the paper, of course, is that it accepts the premise of a Lebanese “state,” which is merely the flip side of the “state within a state” fallacy. Both are wrong. Policy based on either is likewise flawed. Cf. https://hoover.org/research/does-us-need-lebanon-policy
Replying to @AcrossTheBay
While the paper is to be lauded for collating the areas of Hezbollah integration with so-called “state institutions,” and for trying to break away from flawed categories and frameworks, it remains partially trapped within them.

MESOPOTAMIA NEWS ETHNIC DISPLACEMENT – Israel’s colonial expansion does not happen in a political vacuum
Ramona Wadi walzerscent July 22, 2021 / MIDDLE EAST EYE
When European diplomats visit the occupied Palestinian territories to observe the damage wrought by Israel’s home demolitions and forced displacement, the only response is generally to “urge the Israeli authorities to cease such actions.” As a settler-colonial state based on the ideology of Zionism, Israel was built upon and maintains an expansionist agenda, so such calls are a total waste of time, and the EU knows it.
