The next time someone tells you that America isn’t a sick & racist country, just remind them that this nation is willing to accept treason, rape, and child abuse from a white president but not healthcare from a Black one.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Historically speaking, the unarmed humanitarians trying to deliver baby formula to starving people are categorized that way

Sincee they were kidnapped in international waters, the first step should be to classify the "IDF" as a terrorist organization.

Organize locally. The empire can monitor the national scene, manipulate media, and crush large movements, but a community that feeds, protects, and educates itself is harder to break. It’s slow, gritty work, but it’s also where survival—and eventual resistance—lives.

Leigh Evans, a retired nurse & Gaza medic from Swansea is on-board intercepted Abd Elkarim Eid (boat 1) of the #Flotilla to bring aid to Gaza.
Leigh is part of the Lift The Ban campaign and a friend to humanity. He and the flotilla must be allowed to proceed.

Just incredible. The most outstanding example of direct action we have seen in our lifetimes. And in the face of a genocidal army. We should all take huge strength and inspiration

Greta Thunberg MUST get the Nobel Peace Prize.
Imagine how much Donald Trump and Netanyahu would rage.

Every empire reveals itself in Palestine.
The U.S. reveals its weapons.
Europe reveals its guilt.
Arab rulers reveal their cowardice.
The UN reveals its irrelevance.
And the people of the world reveal whether they still have a conscience.

Absolutely extraordinary exchange between Israel and China 👇 I've never seen such a heated exchange come out of top-level forum in China (this is from the 12th Beijing Xiangshan Forum that started yesterday), this normally never happens.
The guy speaking is Yan Xuetong, the dean of the Institute of International Relations at Tsinghua University, the most prestigious university in China.
Speaking for Israel is a military officer apparently called Elad Shoshan.
Yan Xuetong truly doesn't hold back:
- When the Israeli officer tries to bullshit him around how Israel supposedly protects civilians in Gaza, he replies: "You killed more than 70,000 civilians!... The fact is not decided by you... It is not decided by your government. Your government has no legitimacy or the right to decide or defend what is fact"
- And when told that the war will end when Hamas release hostages he replies: "No, this kind of propaganda have too many. No one believe it! Too many! Too much! No one believe it, except a few Israelis"
