I need you all to understand that "donating harder" isn't going to to solve the "food not entering Gaza" situation. It just turns us into the sponsors of the Hunger Games where some lucky Palestinians survive and others don't. We need a shut down strike ASAP please call ur union

Allow me to translate:
Ashok beat the BBC firing squad, and now the Zionist lobby are trying to make sure he's disinvited from appearing on television ever again.
I’m grieving the deaths of the two Israeli soldiers killed in Hebron today, and praying for the full & speedy recovery of those who were injured.
I’ve spoken out loudly this week against Israel’s occupation of the West Bank, which imposes violence on a daily basis, and I will continue to do so. But violence is not the path to ending it — or to achieving safety, freedom, and peace for both Palestinians and Israelis.
And neither is collective punishment or ethnic cleansing of an entire neighborhood, or punishing millions of people for the criminal act of two, which Netanyahu has promised to enact in response.
I’ve seen a lot this week and I’ll have more to say about in the coming days (I’m on my way home shortly). There is a path to ending this excruciating cycle of violence. It starts by insisting that every life is sacred, that everyone is created in God’s image.
For now: Shabbat Shalom, to everyone who believes in the hard work of making peace & justice a reality, for everyone.

If labor unions won't organize a shut down strike for Gaza we will watch Palestinians starve in front of our eyes. There is no food going into Gaza and no country has objected

The CEO of the biggest drone company in Israel says that his objective is to recreate Ender's Game, the book where the main character thinks he's playing a video game but actually commits genocide
Love that his PR team thinks curating shit like this will actually make people watch his movie
Sacha Baron Cohen says Marvel worried about casting a Jewish actor as the devil Mephisto because it could be perceived as antisemitic.
“It was a wonderful meeting when I was offered it. It was primarily, I think, an almost entirely Black producing and directing team. And they said, ‘We want to offer you Mephisto, but we are aware of the negative association of Jews historically with the devil, and we want to make sure that you’re not insulted by us offering this.’ It was such an amazingly considerate, empathetic thing to say. And I was like, ‘Yeah, I’m good.’
I think for the Jews out there, sometimes we don’t feel seen. We don’t feel like people can empathize with us, that we are suffering too. And so to have this entirely Black producing and directing team be so empathetic was a moment of being seen. It was an amazing experience.”

What’d I say would happen? A politician goes to the West Bank, gets arrested knowing he’ll be safely released, then turns the moment into thousands of likes. But Palestinians defending their own land? They get imprisoned for years, abused in unimaginable ways, killed and forgotten. Brad had power back home. He could’ve divested NYC pensions from the bombs killing Palestinians. He chose not to. Stop confusing political theater with solidarity. Stop letting politicians turn Palestinian suffering into a photo op. For god sakes, I’m sick of these devils.

This is an "Israel"-laundering PR stunt.
Lander, a zionist politician, won't pull investments in Elbit, he won't arrest Hind Rajab's killer roaming the streets of NYC, he won't disrupt the synagogues holding real estate auctions for stolen Palestinian land. Business as usual
BREAKING: @bradlander was just detained by Israeli authorities along with 40 international volunteers while harvesting olives in the West Bank.
“Occupation is a crime under international law,” Lander said. “Harvesting olives is not a crime under any law I know.”

This guy gets it. I know he must be tired. But we need him everywhere
🎥 “We want to go the Farage route, not the Lib Dem route.”
Ashok Kumar of Greens for Palestine spoke to Novara Media about strategy behind the Green Party’s “Zionism is racism” motion, which took a year to organize and was designed to expose Labour’s politics. He said PM Andy Burnham’s response revealed him as little different from Keir Starmer.
Inspired by Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s France Unbowed and its “strategy of conflict,” the idea is to set the terms of debate, provoke a backlash, and heighten contradictions to force opponents to reveal positions.
Rather than chase more MPs by moderating its politics, Kumar says the Greens should use confrontation to shift the debate leftward and become an anti-establishment force.
“We want to drag [the paradigm] to the left kicking and screaming.”

Why do you invest NYC pension funds in Elbit Systems?

People will look back in history and think Shami Chakrabarti must have had her head in her hands because someone was defending the genocide in Palestine, only to realise it was actually because someone pointed out that the ideology which produced that genocide might be racist.

i’ve never seen the british state move like this for anything else. not third of its own children in poverty. not the housing crisis. not the cost of living crisis. nothing.

🚨❗️🇺🇸 Glass is not just another man implicated in the killing of Hind Rajab. He is the man who most likely gave the order to open fire on the vehicle carrying Hind and members of her family, including other children. That Glass can roam the streets of the United States as though nothing has happened is intolerable. He must be brought to justice.
🇺🇸🚨 The #HindRajabFoundation has filed an urgent request with the U.S. Department of Justice, demanding the immediate investigation, arrest, and prosecution of Sean Glass, currently present in the United States. Glass commanded the Israeli unit implicated in Hind Rajab's murder. HRF's investigation places the 52nd Battalion—including Glass and his Vampire Empire Company—near her vehicle during the killing. Today, Glass walks free in the U.S.

This is from an episode of Law & Order SVU 26 years ago where they casually claim that 75% of all murders in Gaza and the West Bank were honor killings. Just making up insane statistics about Palestinians and passing them off as facts on national television. Imagine how much of this bullshit Americans have been fed for decades.
