Folks, @Jairo_I_Funez's ethical voice has made him a direct target of smear campaigns. He's bravely put his career on the line speaking abt Palestine, oppression, & academic rot. This piece highlights his story & others punished/silenced. Pls read & share. truthout.org/articles/schola…

Palestinians are victims of imperialism and violent settler colonialism but we are so much more than victims - it is because of our power and our insistence on dignity and our steadfastness over decades that the western world "order" seeks to victimize us

Ísrael tortrýmdi stærsta spítala Gaza, fleiri hundruð pyntaðir og drepnir. Börn skotin með bundnar hendur og aðrir grafnir lifandi undir jarðýtum. Síðan skilja þeir þetta allt eftir svo heimur geti séð og viðbrögð ráðamanna eru engin?

If the child on the left was old enough to pick cotton and the child on the right was old enough to attend Klan rallies, then today's children are old enough to learn about both of these and how they've led us to where we are today.

"The ground zero of a liberated world is Palestine"

Regardless of what happens, South Africa rising up against apartheid in Palestine will forever be one of the most inspiring lectures in international solidarity. You liberate yourself by liberating others.

I don’t want you to be desensitized to violence but I also want you to know that the violence is unimaginable and it is getting worse. Don’t stop being moved by how overwhelming it is. It’s a reminder you are human. It’s a reminder you have agency.

What's happening in Gaza to children is madness. 100s line up for one bathroom. 44,000+ have diarrhea (leading cause of child mortality worldwide). 48% of population suffer severe levels of hunger. Number of infection and amputation is shocking. Maggots picked from wounds.

The Israeli occupation destroys the central archive of #Gaza municipality, executing thousands of historical documents, and deliberately razing all life forms; erasing the city and its #history. It is worth noting that the archive holds #documents more than a hundred years old.

From Santiago to Caracas to Washington DC to London, people are standing up against Israel’s settler colonial project and the genocide of Palestinians. Palestine has unmasked the modern colonial project of death.

An area half the size of London. One of the most densely populated places on the planet where half the population is children. Bombed with explosives greater than nuclear bomb dropped on Hiroshima.
If you can’t bring yourself to condemn this, you have no humanity left
