RESOLVE are joining over 125 cultural organisations across the world on a global strike for Palestine today on Friday, 20 October. We encourage you to join in solidarity. Palestinian Liberation and the end of colonial apartheid are the only true ways to end all violence.

heartbroken at the news of the sudden passing of community leader Mousa Qous in Jerusalem. sharing this piece Mousa wrote for skin deep about afro-palestinians in the old city. his daughter Shaden is currently illegally jailed & can't even say goodbye.

I'm devastated to learn of the sudden passing of Mousa Qous, a leader and bedrock of the Afro-Palestinian community in occupied Jerusalem. The city has lost a part of its soul. It is particularly cruel, but not surprising, that the occupier initially refused to allow his imprisoned daughter Shaden Qous out of its dungeons even to bid farewell to her father (bit.ly/40KHXSS). I have just learned that thanks to the efforts of lawyers, she was allowed out at the last minute and able to attend his wake.
We were honored that Mousa Qous contributed to The Electronic @Intifada, including this piece from 2017, looking back on his life of struggle and how he continued to serve the people of Jerusalem despite the brutality of the occupation through his work at the African Community Society.
May he rest in peace, and may his memory always be a source of power and strength to his loved ones and everyone whose lives he touched. electronicintifada.net/conte…

Aljazeera journalist Ismail Al-Ghoul and Ramy El Rafey were killed by a targeted Israeli airstike while covering the death of Ismail Hinayeh in front of his home in Gaza. Aljazeera presenters are breaking down in announcing it. I'm breaking down writing this.

one fascist’s ear grazed by a bullet evoked more sympathy from the Democratic Party within two hours than the innumerable Palestinian deaths from decades of settler-colonial violence and months of genocidal warfare that they directly enabled

ALT Wooden wheelchair ramp adjacent to a wall supporting a raised green containing a protest camp. Hand painted along the edge of the ramp, in Palestinian flag colours are the words “SOAS Liberated Zone”. Further down the edge of the ramp is a hand painted image of a love heart follow by a 2, then DPAC. In the background on the green are various tents and banners. In the foreground is a section of pavement.

It's past midnight, and turnout of students and faculty has filled the entire plaza of Columbia University. An end to US complicity in the genocide of Gaza remains their focus, they insist, despite media attempts to divert attention to issues like student safety or free speech
