This is a day for truth, not explanations. Israel is carrying out a genocide of the Palestinian people. It is carrying out this genocide in the cruellest way. The cruelty has two main manifestations:
First, Israel is relentless. It kills Palestinians in every imaginable and many unimaginable ways. Israel bombs, fires and starves as it continuously concentrates Palestinians in smaller and smaller areas, where it continues to bomb, fire and starve them.
Second, Israel denies this genocide as it carries it out, documents it and celebrates it. Israel blames the Palestinians it kills for their own deaths, claims it is justified in killing them, takes refuge in bogus research and ratios and suggests that Palestinians are neither starving nor hurt or dead.
This evil will not fade. It will not recede. It must be stopped. It cannot be tolerated. Those who condone it even by averting their eyes are complicit. It is elaborate
But not complex. Good and bad, life and death. The choice is there to be made.

This is a massive media scandal.
@SkyNews posted a video accurately describing what happened in Amsterdam.
It described violence perpetrated by Israeli football hooligans, and their hideous racism.
They then deleted it. This is the original.
We argue why @UniUtrecht should break ties with Israeli universities. UU's partnership w/ Ben-Gurion University legitimizes BGU's cooperation with the Israeli military & its central role in developing weapon technology used to slaughter civilians in Gaza.

Over the course of a single day we see reports that Israeli occupation forces massacred a convey of international aid workers, bombed the Iranian embassy in Damascus, and executed doctors at Al-Shifa, while inflicting famine on a civilian population. This regime must be stopped.
A beautiful piece that I can very much relate to, and what an honour to be mentioned @jonas_torrens 🥰

Glad that the guns will be silenced for even one hour. Glad to see even one hostage (Israeli or Palestinian) released. But, then what? Back to bombing 2 million people until either they are dead or they agree to go into permanent exile while settlers rampage across the W. Bank and E. Jerusalem? Is that the plan Mr Biden, Mr Scholz, Mr Macron? Have the guts to admit it.

The @derspiegel hit piece on @GretaThunberg (researched by 6!!! journalists) is sooooo much worse than even its critics are making it out to be. I can't go through the whole thing, it would take waaaay too much time. I'll just cover some parts.

10,000-plus Palestinians killed, including 4,000-plus kids, and the U.S. House of Representatives is busy censuring… the only Palestinian-American member. Can’t make this stuff up.

Gentlemen, you can't ceasefire here! This is the Armistice room!
My statement on the disrespectful protests planned for Armistice Day.

ALT To plan protests on Armistice Day is provocative and disrespectful, and there is a clear and present risk that the Cenotaph and other war memorials could be desecrated, something that would be an affront to the British public and the values we stand for. The right to remember, in peace and dignity, those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice for those freedoms must be protected. I have asked the Home Secretary to support the Met Police in doing everything necessary to protect the sanctity of Armistice Day and Remembrance Sunday.

It is not about having a seat at the table, but burning the table down and a fundamental reformulation of paradigms and solidarities rooted in justice and meaningful praxis." - @Prof_FSultana rgs-ibg.onlinelibrary.wiley.…
