And the point is: Palestinians are being literally crushed -killed, tortured, mutilated in their body and soul-, blamed and smeared by people who call themselves zionists. How can the emergency be someone’s hurt feelings about an ideology? This tells a lot about values/priorities

#EffettoPalestina Il popolo che capisce, si unisce e si mobilita transnazionalmente, contro il sistema che li vuole placide bestie da soma o cavie. Al servizio delle élites predatorie. Ne ho parlato nell'ultimo numero di This Week in Palestine. Ma questo è un esempio eclatante.

The day the police will no longer raise their batons against people standing for human rights and against war-mongering and genocide, will be a beautiful day. The day the police will walk WITH the anti-apartheid and anti-war movement, it will be the beginning of a new era.
Thousands have protested across Italy against rising living costs and increased military spending, demanding greater investment in healthcare and education. Demonstrations spread to 50 cities, with clashes reported between protesters and police.

My country, France, is sinking further each day into a system of governance that is authoritarian and destructive to liberty. Placing activists who oppose their government’s policies under house arrest is an attempt to intimidate and frighten any form of dissent. Equating their activism with terrorism is revolting, scandalous, and reminiscent of the worst authoritarian regimes around the world. Resistance is more necessary than ever to defend the values ​​of liberty and solidarity in our country.
Un pas de plus vers un État autoritaire, liberticide : le ministère de l’intérieur prend des arrêtés d’assignation à résidence fondés sur les dispositions de lutte contre le terrorisme à l’encontre de militants n’ayant parfois aucun casier judiciaire. mediapart.fr/journal/france/…

Human rights experts have long warned that the repression of anti-apartheid/anti-genocide protests REVEALED a system in which Israel's apartheid inspires western democracy: rights for some; punishing criticism\dissent; securitizing/militarizing life; tolerance of racist ideology.

Italians refuse to stay silent and sit idle in the face of a genocide and the normalisation of war. The global awakening has started and so the peaceful uprising against the globalisation of Apartheid. Together we are ONE, standing for peace, human rights & love for one another.
🇮🇹 Tens of thousands of workers, students, truckers and farmers marched in more than 40 Italian cities on Friday in a general strike against soaring living costs, rearmament and European support for wars in the Middle East, including the genocide in Gaza, according to Italian news agency Adnkronos. Police counted 30,000 in Milan, where marchers shut down the eastern ring road for three hours, while organizers claimed over 100,000, according to Italian broadcaster TGCom24. A speaker in Turin put the crowd there at more than 50,000. The grassroots union USB, which called the strike, claimed 2 million nationwide showed up to challenge Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's "war economy." Protesters blocked the port in Genoa with burning tires, TGCom24 reported, and marched into Naples port, demanding that ports not be used to move "weapons, ammunition, military equipment and troops." In Rome, police charged about 300 students who threw stones and Molotov cocktails. At least 10 officers were injured in Mestre and Vicenza, according to Adnkronos. Transport Minister Matteo Salvini had ordered rail, air, sea and transit workers to stay on the job, but the order was dismissed by USB as "illegitimate." 🎥 Milan

Israel allows 2 million Palestinians with Israeli citizenship (who did not become refugees in 1948) to vote and run for office while it denies that right to 6+ million it has kept under a brutal illegal occupation for nearly 60 years. That is not democracy. It is Apartheid.
Israel’s Arab citizens, men and women, are turning out in historic numbers to vote. They can vote, run for office, and serve in the Knesset, rights denied to many Arabs and women across much of the Middle East. Our critical ally in the fight against terror, Israel, is the only democracy in the region, and today shows it.

The US response to my UN report fails to refute any of my legal findings that the US has murdered 244 civilians at sea. Instead it resorts to childish name-calling. I’m obviously not a terrorist sympathizer - but the US is committing extrajudicial killings ohchr.org/sites/default/file…

Name-calling human rights defenders is a tactic of abusive power: ignore-mock- insult. Each step admits they've no answer, they are exposed. Never feel alone in the fight for justice. Lets stand up, everywhere. Let them count how many we are. No one is safe until everyone is safe

Awakening. Knowledge is power. Lets use it. Not as an act of charity toward the Palestinians - rather, as an act of self-preservation toward us and the rule of law. #PalestineEffect
American-Dutch writer and Pulitzer Prize winner Benjamin Moser speaks out on Zionism: "The more I studied Zionism, the more I spent time there, the more I realized that every inch of Israel is Palestine. It was always Palestine."

#Bismillah-c'est la lumière Palestine-the revealer: Its martyrdom is awakening the world. Its struggle against Apartheid, the beating heart of all free beings. Sumud, the grammar of resistance against all forms of oppression. Thank you @mackelmore for being the comrade you are

People worldwide have never stopped standing against genocide. Israel and its allies want us to believe otherwise. But people understand something fundamental: opposing Apartheid is an act of self-preservation. Its logics is contagious, its methods are corrosive. #PalestineEffect

The behavior of the representative of Apartheid Israel and its accomplices - with their cheap bullying and disgruntled highschoolers' attitude - continue to bring embarrassment and disgrace upon the UN.

Yes Mr Blair: Palestinians in Gaza and elsewhere need an end to genocide, Israel's militarised colonisation and apartheid. They need respect for Intl Law and justice. They also need no more advice from those who have profited from their misery for too long. Be kind. Step aside
“There is talk of ‘Free Palestine’, but for Palestinians living in Gaza, they don’t need a slogan; they need a solution,” said former UK Prime Minister and founding member of US President Donald Trump’s Board of Peace, Tony Blair.

As I presented my latest report at the UN two days ago, the US ambassador managed to be even more insulting than Israel’s. No small feat, given that Israeli representatives at UN in New York have long been second to none in diplomatic buffoonery.
At the UN on Monday, Israel's ambassador called @FranceskAlbs a fraud and a liar. The US representative called her a lunatic. Her report documents nearly 300 journalists killed in Gaza. Of course, neither of them addressed it. Then she answered.

Lobbies (organised groups seeking to influence public decisions) are not inherently corrupt: they bring diverse perspectives into policymaking. But when money buys access and private interests dictate public policy, behind closed doors, they may be a legalised form of corruption.
Pro-Israel lobby, AIPAC, is changing its strategy, ending candidate endorsements and direct campaign contributions. As Democrats distance themselves from the group, is its influence fading or simply changing? Al Jazeera's Zeena Aqel breaks it down.
