cried watching 30-50k berliners risk brutality and deportation to march for peace, proud of my friends of all diasporas doing this together, proud of my german friends standing in total refusal of the state

A new Amnesty investigation has found that the Israeli army indiscriminately, and therefore unlawfully, used white phosphorous in an attack on Dhayra in south Lebanon on 16 October.
The attack must be investigated as a war crime.

That fear? That knot in your stomach when you realize the potential loss of cultural capital, employment, belonging that you could face if you speak + act to challenge consensus atrocity?

A historic crime is unfolding in Gaza & the EU is in it up to its neck. MEPs sit & watch the slaughter & cannot even condemn it, calling it a "humanitarian crisis," as if it was caused by the weather.
Infamy. EU will never live down the shame of today's resolution. #LongLiveGaza
