US Jewish group protests in eight cities for Gaza ceasefire

32 protesters were taken into custody after blocking traffic during a ceasefire protest on I-76 in Center City Philadelphia

A Jewish group demanding a ceasefire in Israel's war in Gaza held protests on Thursday in eight U.S. cities on the eighth night of Hanukkah, blocking rush hour traffic on busy streets and bridges in Washington and Philadelphia.

In Washington, the group Jewish Voice for Peace said about 90 protesters blocked the overpass to New York Avenue in the northwestern part of the U.S. capital. Police said the demonstration closed the intersection of New York Avenue and North Capitol Street and urged people to use alternate routes.

"On the 8th night of Hanukkah, 8 cities, 8 bridges," Jewish Voice for Peace said on X, formerly called Twitter. "We are here, gathering across the country in massive, growing numbers, to say no more."

Demonstrations also occurred in Boston, Atlanta, Chicago, Minneapolis, Seattle and Portland, Oregon.

In Philadelphia, about 200 protesters briefly blocked the I-76 highway, and more than 30 arrests were made, a Reuters witness said. Protesters held signs and banners that read: "Let Gaza Live" and "Not in our name."

The United Nations on Tuesday demanded an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in the Gaza Strip where Israel has vowed to annihilate Hamas militants.

The war in Gaza has led to pro-Palestinian and pro-Israeli protests in the United States since Oct. 7 when Hamas, the Palestinian Islamist group that rules Gaza, killed 1,200 Israelis and seized 240 hostages in a cross-border raid.

Since then, Israeli forces have besieged the coastal enclave and laid much of it to waste, with nearly 19,000 people dead, according to Palestinian health officials.

On Wednesday, anti-war activists blocked traffic on a busy Los Angeles highway during the morning rush hour and while some staff from the Biden administration also held a vigil demanding a ceasefire.

32 protesters arrested for blocking traffic on I-76 in Center City Philadelphia

More than 30 protesters calling for a ceasefire in Gaza were arrested for blocking traffic on the westbound lanes of the Schuylkill Expressway in Center City Philadelphia.

Police say it happened around 3:30 p.m. Thursday as the group of about 150 people with Jewish Voice for Peace started gathering on the Spring Garden Street Bridge, hanging banners that read "Let Gaza Live" and "Ceasefire Now."

At some point, police say protesters, who were in cars below the overpass, got out of their vehicles and shut down the westbound lanes of I-76.

Chopper 6 was overhead as Philadelphia police and Pennsylvania State Police swarmed the group.

According to Interim Police Commissioner John Stanford, 32 people were arrested and will be cited for being on the highway.

Jay Bergen was one of those take into custody.

"We as people of faith and people of conscience need to be speaking out and saying business as usual cannot continue," said Bergen.

The Schuylkill Expressway and the Spring Garden Street Bridge have since reopened to traffic.

Later in the evening, the group of protesters briefly walked to the Philadelphia Museum of Art steps before dispersing.

Organizers say these demonstrations will continue with no end in sight.

"As a Jewish student, I stand with my broader community and we will do whatever it takes, as long as it takes," said Hilah Cohen, an Israeli-American student.

The protest coincided with the last night of Hannukah. Philadelphia was one of the eight cities to participate in this nationwide protest Thursday.

Earlier this year, a similar protest was held at 30th Street Station. In that demonstration, more than 60 protesters were arrested for blocking entrances to trains.

Israeli leaflets incite Gaza residents to spy on Hamas leaders

The Israeli army has dropped leaflets over besieged Gaza, inciting displaced Palestinians to spy on their leaders and offering financial rewards for information leading to the capture of top figures of the Palestinian resistance group Hamas.

Palestinian activists circulated images online of the leaflets, in which the army incited residents to provide information about Yahya Sinwar, the leader of Hamas in Gaza, and his brother Muhammed Sinwar, a prominent military leader in Hamas’s armed wing Al Qassam Brigades, in addition to Mohammed Deif, the general commander of Al Qassam Brigades, and Rafaa Salameh, who commands the Khan Younis Battalion.

"Those who provide information will receive a financial reward as follows: Yahya Sinwar, $400,000; Muhammed Sinwar, $300,000; Rafaa Salameh, $200,000; Mohammed Deif, $100,000."

The leaflets, bearing the name and emblem of the Israeli army, said: "People of Gaza, Hamas has lost its strength. The end of Hamas is near."

Penyidik Subdit V Tipikor Ditreskrimsus Polda Metro Jaya Arief Maulana dalam sidang praperadilan Firli Bahur di Pengadilan Negeri Jakarta Selatan, Jumat (15/12/2023). ANTARA/Suci Nurhaliza.

Penyidik Polda Metro Jaya dalam sidang praperadilan di Pengadilan Negeri Jakarta Selatan mengungkapkan adanya temuan fakta bahwa Ketua Nonaktif Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi (KPK) Firli Bahuri terlibat dalam kasus pemerasan.

Sidang prapradilan Firli Bahuri kembali digelar pada Jumat dengan menghadirkan saksi dari pihak Kapolda Metro Jaya Irjen Pol Karyoto selaku termohon dan penyidik Subdit V Tipikor Ditreskrimsus Poldda Metro Jaya AKP Arief Maulana.

"Fakta-fakta yang kami peroleh dari hasil penyelidikan menemukan adanya peristiwa pidana terkait pemerasan atau penerimaan gratifikasi atau penerimaan hadiah atau janji yang dilakukan oleh pegawai negeri atau penyelenggara negara terkait penanganan permasalahan hukum," kata Arief dalam sidang praperadilan di Pengadilan Negeri Jakarta Selatan, Jumat.

Dalam sidang tersebut, Arief membeberkan alur penetapan tersangka Firli Bahuri terkait kasus dugaan pemerasan terhadap mantan Menteri Pertanian Syahrul Yasin Limpo (SYL).

Arief mengatakan, pada 12 Agustus 2023 terdapat aduan masyarakat perihal laporan dugaan korupsi yang dilakukan oleh pimpinan KPK dalam menangani perkara di lingkungan Kementerian Pertanian RI. Pada 15 Agustus 2023, Ditreskrimsus Polda Metro Jaya mengeluarkan disposisi untuk melakukan verifikasi terkait aduan masyarakat tersebut, mengumpulkan bahan dan keterangan (Pulbket), dan melaporkan hasilnya.

Kemudian pada 16 Agustus 2023, dilakukan serangkaian tindakan mulai dari penerbitan surat perintah Pulbaket, mengisi lembar verifikasi, mengisi lembar acara, melaporkan hasil verifikasi, hingga gelar perkara hasil Pulbaket.

Selanjutnya pada 18 Agustus, Ditreskrimsus Polda Metro Jaya memberikan disposisi untuk menindaklanjuti hasil telaah aduan masyarakat dan Pulbaket. Kemudian, laporan tersebut diputuskan layak untuk naik ke penyelidikan.

Pada 21 Agustus, terbit laporan informasi sebagai dasar penyelidikan yang kemudian diregister. Rencana penyelidikan dan surat perintah penyelidikan pun disusun. Lalu pada 28 Agustus, surat perintah penyelidikan diperbaharui karena ada penambahan personel. Kemudian setelah surat perintah penyelidikan dan perintah tugas terbit, penyelidik meminta keterangan kepada enam orang saksi.

Pada 30 September 2023, diterbitkan surat permintaan asistensi kepada Bareskrim Polri terkait kasus tersebut. Surat tersebut dibalas oleh Bareskrim Polri pada 4 Oktober, disertai surat tugas personel.

Hasil penyelidikan pun disusun pada 5 Oktober dan ditemukan adanya dugaan tindak pidana berupa pemerasan atau penerimaan gratifikasi atau penerimaan hadiah atau janji oleh pimpinan KPK. Kemudian, dilakukan gelar perkara pada 6 Oktober dan perkara tersebut diputuskan naik ke penyidikan.

Ditreskrimsus Polda Metro Jaya pun menerbitkan Surat Perintah Penyidikan pada 9 Oktober 2023.

Selain Arief, Polda Metro Jaya juga menghadirkan saksi lainnya yakni penyidik dari Subdit III Dittipidkor Bareskrim Polri AKP Denny Siregar yang mengatakan, tim penyidik sudah memeriksa 90 saksi, termasuk Firli Bahuri sendiri sebanyak dua kali.

"Dapat kami sampaikan dari jumlah saksi sebanyak 90 yang sudah kami sebutkan, termasuk di dalamnya kami sudah melakukan pemeriksaan terhadap tersangka dalam kapasitasnya sebagai saksi," ujar Denny.

Ia melanjutkan,Firli Bahuri kemudian ditetapkan sebagai tersangka setelah melakukan gelar perkara pada 22 November 2023, berdasarkan empat alat bukti.

"Pertama keterangan aksi, kedua surat sebagaimana formil dengan surat perintah penyitaan, penggeledahan, dan seterusnya. Kami juga menemukan alat bukti petunjuk di dalam UU Tipikor yang dimuat dalam Pasal 26 a, lalu kami meminta keterangan saksi. Terdapat kesesuaian baik alat bukti yang satu dengan alat bukti lainnya," kata Denny.

Kiev sends its soldiers to die – Putin

The Ukrainian leadership has grown desperate in the wake of its major summer counteroffensive failure, Russian President Vladimir Putin told a major press conference on Thursday. The Russian leader revealed some details about an ongoing operation, which has seen Kiev sending its troops on a “one way trip” to a tiny beachhead on the Russian-controlled bank of the Dnieper River in the Kherson region.

The Ukrainian media have been claiming over the past months that Kiev’s troops had managed to secure a beachhead on the left bank of the Dnieper River near the village of Krynki and have been “expanding” their presence in the area, while supposedly forcing the Russian troops to retreat.

The Russian president commented on the situation on Thursday by saying that Kiev’s actions essentially amounted to sending its troops to be “exterminated.” The Russian leader called it Ukraine’s "last attempt” to stage an attack after it “had failed to achieve anything anywhere” in its much-touted summer counteroffensive.

“I don't even know why they do that,” the president said, adding that the Ukrainian soldiers themselves call the operations in the area a “one way trip.” According to Putin, the Ukrainian Armed Forces deliver reinforcements and supplies to the beachhead from the opposite river bank with boats that are under the constant fire of the Russian artillery.

Russia’s losses in the area have been relatively small and mostly amounted to soldiers suffering non-lethal injuries, the president said, adding that Ukraine was losing its troops “by the dozens” at the same time. Moscow’s troops turned the Ukrainian beachhead into the “killing ground,” Putin said, calling the developments a “tragedy” for Ukraine. Yet, Kiev continues to just sacrifice its troops in the area for political reasons, he added.

A Ukrainian soldier fighting near Krynki described the situation in the area as “hell” and recalled how boats full of Ukrainian soldiers had been blown out of the water in attempts to reach the beachhead. He also spoke about the feeling of abandonment by Kiev’s military commanders.

“Those are not just regular Ukrainian soldiers, those are the elite assault teams that are relatively few,” the president said, adding that the losses near the Krynki village must be quite “sensitive” for Kiev.

Earlier, the Ukrainian media claimed that the Russian troops were “unable” to push the Ukrainian troops out of the area. According to Putin, Moscow just does not want to do that. “I would say it plainly: it is advantageous for us that they [the Ukrainian Armed Forces] are just mindlessly throwing their personnel in there,” he said, adding that he told the Russian General Staff chief, Valery Gerasimov, not to launch any counteroffensives in the area.

Kiev launched its major counteroffensive in early June. In late November, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky publicly acknowledged that the much-hyped operation had ended without success. The Ukrainian attacks had largely failed to bring about any major changes to the frontlines over almost six months of the offensive.

According to Russian Defense Ministry estimates, Ukraine has lost over 125,000 troops and 16,000 pieces of heavy equipment in failed attempts to move forward over the past half a year.

Road To Pilpres - KPU tegur Gibran Gibran Minta Maaf

Komisi Pemilihan Umum (KPU) menegur cawapres nomor urut 2 Gibran Rakabuming Raka karena menunjukkan gerakan isyarat atau gestur bersorak saat debat pertama capres Pemilu 2024 di Kantor KPU RI, Jakarta, hari Selasa, 12/12/2023.

"Ini (perilaku Gibran) yang tidak boleh dan kami tegur," tegas Ketua KPU RI Hasyim Asy'ari di Jakarta, Kamis.

Selain memberi teguran kepada Gibran sebagai peserta Pilpres 2024, KPU juga menjadikan hal itu sebagai evaluasi untuk pelaksanaan debat berikutnya.

"Saat evaluasi dan rapat persiapan debat selanjutnya, kami sampaikan," ujar Hasyim.

Saat debat pertama capres Pemilu 2024 berlangsung, Gibran berdiri dari tempat duduknya, berteriak, dan bertepuk tangan untuk mengajak para penonton debat ikut bersorak.

Putra sulung Presiden Joko Widodo itu sontak berdiri dan menggerakkan kedua tangannya dari bawah ke atas saat capres Prabowo Subianto merespons pertanyaan dari capres Anies Baswedan. Gerakan itu Gibran arahkan ke para pendukungnya yang berada di lokasi debat.

Saat itu, Prabowo sedang menjawab pertanyaan dari Anies soal putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi (MK) yang mengubah syarat umur calon presiden dan calon wakil presiden di bawah usia 40 tahun dan pernah atau sedang menjabat sebagai kepala daerah hasil pilkada.

Dengan gerakan tubuh Gibran itu, para pendukung pasangan calon Prabowo-Gibran pun semakin bersorak di dalam ruang debat.

Gibran kembali duduk dan menghentikan aksinya setelah seorang pendukung yang duduk di belakangnya langsung menyentuh dan mengingatkan Gibran untuk duduk tenang.

KPU menyelenggarakan debat pertama capres Pemilu 2024 di Jakarta, Selasa (12/12), dengan tema pemerintahan, hukum, HAM, pemberantasan korupsi, penguatan demokrasi, peningkatan layanan publik, dan kerukunan warga.

Debat diikuti tiga pasangan capres-cawapres yakni nomor urut 1 Anies Baswedan-Muhaimin Iskandar, nomor urut 2 Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka, dan nomor urut 3 Ganjar Pranowo-Mahfud MD

Gibran Minta Maaf Soal Aksi Bersoraknya Saat Debat Capres Pertama

Gibran Rakabuming Raka memohon maaf atas aksinya yang memberikan gestur bersorak saat debat capres pertama di Gedung KPU pada Selasa malam, 12 Desember 2023.

"Ya saya mohon maaf sebelumnya ya," kata dia kepada wartawan yang menemuinya di Balai Kota Solo, Kamis, 14 Desember 2023.

Aksi Wali Kota Solo itu terekam saat Prabowo menjawab pertanyaan calon presiden nomor urut satu Anies Baswedan dalam debat tersebut. Anies saat itu bertanya tentang putusan MK Nomor 90/PUU-XXI/2023 yang dianggap memberi karpet merah untuk Gibran maju sebagai cawapres Prabowo.

Prabowo meninggikan suaranya saat menjawab pertanyaan Anies itu. Menanggapi pertanyaan Anies, Prabowo menyatakan bahwa dalam perkembangan politik, terdapat beberapa perspektif. Dia mengklaim bahwa timnya menyebut putusan MK itu tidak bermasalah dari sisi hukum. Sedangkan untuk pelanggaran etikanya sudah diambil tindakan dan keputusan.

Saat ditanya soal teguran KPU itu, Gibran mengatakan akan menerima semua teguran atau evaluasi yang akan diberikan kepada pihaknya.

"Ya semua teguran, evaluasi, kami terima ya," jawab Gibran menanggapi pertanyaan sejumlah wartawan yang menemuinya di Balai Kota Solo, Kamis, 14 Desember 2023.

Terkait aksinya dalam debat capres tersebut, Gibran pun meminta maaf. "Ya saya mohon maaf sebelumnya ya," katanya singkat.

Namun Gibran tidak lagi menanggapi saat ditanya lebih lanjut apakah aksi yang dilakukannya dalam debat capres tersebut memang disengaja ataukah secara spontan. Ia langsung memasuki ruang kerjanya di Balai Kota Solo itu.

Penilaian penulis

Teguran KPU kepada Calon wakil presiden nomor urut 2 Gibran Rakabuming Raka tidak lebih dari tekanan publik, ketika video kejadian itu menjadi viral, dengan demikian teguran KPU tidak kontekstual dalam aturan tata tertib debat capres. Jika termaktub yang demikian tersebut dalam tata tertib, saat kejadian ada pengawas yang mengawasi akan membuat laporan dan kemudian ditindaklanjuti. Namun kejadiannnya tidak demikian, sekedar memuaskan publik kubu lawan dari capres No.urut 2.

Sikap Gibran setelah mendapat teguran KPU, menunjukkan anak muda ini memiliki karakter adat ketimuran yang kental, santun dan menerima, yang ini hampir hilang dari golongan muda yang tergerus budaya barat.

Debat Capres pertama, Capres No urut 2 unggul dalam berbagai hal. Karena di Indonesia tidak penting kecerdasan dan memiliki wawasan yang luas seorang calon presiden, yang diutamakan yang memiliki adat ketimuran atau memiliki budaya Indonesia yang harus menonjol, baru yang lain - lain mengikuti.

Gaya bicara yang menyerang bukanlah berasal dari budaya asli Indonesia, itulah gaya yang tidak disukai oleh bangsa Indonesia seumumnya. Sedangkan kita lihat mereka merasa menang ketika mampu menyerang lawan dan lawan terpancing.

Qassam Snipers

The Qassam Brigades announced earlier on Thursday that it had sniped 14 Israeli officers and soldiers and destroyed 20 tanks and personnel carriers in various axes inside the Gaza Strip.

Later, Al-Qassam said in brief statements on the Telegram platform that its fighters were able to “snipe four Zionist soldiers northwest of Gaza City, and targeted three Zionist vehicles with Al-Yassin 105 shells in the Shejaiya neighborhood, east of Gaza City.”

It added that its fighters targeted four personnel carriers and two Israeli Merkava tanks north of Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip with Al-Yassin-105 shells, in addition to targeting two Merkava tanks with Al-Yassin-105 shells southeast of Khan Yunis.

Later on Thursday evening, the Brigades said their fighters destroyed an Israeli tank in the city of Khan Yunis with a Yassin 105 shell, setting it on fire.

Al-Qassam also said that it had shelled Israeli crowds at the Sufa military support site with a rocket barrage.

“Our mujahideen and the al-Quds Brigades shelled a gathering of enemy forces penetrating the eastern axis of Khan Yunis with mortar shells,” it said.

Below are summaries provided by Al-Qassam Brigades and Al-Quds Brigades, the military wings for Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad respectively, as communicated on Telegram.

"When Israelis claim that the only ‘solution’ to Gaza is displacing the Palestinians, they do not seem to have much knowledge of that history."

Abu Obeida, the military spokesman for the Al-Qassam Brigades, said:

“Our fighters confirmed the killing of 36 soldiers and the injury or death of dozens of other Zionist soldiers, as well as seizing equipment and belongings of some of them, following the targeting of the invading Zionist forces with shells and anti-armor and anti-personnel explosive devices, engaging them at point-blank range, targeting their rescue teams, and carrying out successful sniper operations against their soldiers.

“(The fighters) also targeted headquarters and field command rooms, shelled military gatherings with mortar shells and short-range rockets on all fronts of the battle, and directed rocket barrages towards various targets at different ranges inside the Zionist entity.”

In a just-released video, Al-Qassam fighters are seen targeting Israeli military vehicles and soldiers invading the axes of the city of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip.

US, Israel more isolated as UNGA votes on Gaza ceasefire — WashingtonPost

Australia, Canada, Japan and several other US allies, changed their stance to vote for the latest UN resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, while the United States and Israel found themselves increasingly isolated, The Washington Post reported.

According to the newspaper, the pivotal supporters of the United States and Israel shifted their opinion as "the toll on Palestinian civilians intensified," with public protests growing.

"(The vote result) showed almost total isolation of the United States... and that there is not an agreement on the American Israeli narrative," the newspaper quoted Rashid Khalidi, a professor of modern Arab studies at Columbia University, as saying.

"While Western governments generally are aligned with Israel, public opinion in those countries is shifting," he added.

On Tuesday, the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) passed an Egypt and Mauritania-initiated resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire in the zone of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

As many as 153 member nations, including Russia, favored the resolution, while 10 countries, including Israel and the United States, voted against it, with 23 other nations, including the United Kingdom, abstaining from the vote. The UNGA voted down a US-initiated amendment that would condemn Hamas’ actions.

It also turned down Austria’s amendment specifying that the hostages are being held by Hamas and other groups.

Tensions flared up again in the Middle East on October 7 after militants from the Gaza Strip-based radical Palestinian group Hamas launched a surprise incursion on Israeli territory, killing many Israeli kibbutz residents living near the Gaza border and taking hostages.

Israel declared a total siege of Gaza and started carrying out strikes on the Palestinian enclave, as well as on certain areas in Lebanon and Syria. Clashes are also taking place in the West Bank.
