It was a real privilege attending Macklemore’s concert last night. A few observations: 1. The arena fits 12500 people. All proceedings would go to help three Palestinian people. IT SOLD OUT IN 10 MINUTES. 2. Listen to Macklemore’s message in the clip below. It could not have been more inclusive, pro peace, and pro love. THIS IS THE PERSON THAT THE PRO-ISRAEL CROWD HAS TRIED TO CANCEL - AND WHO ED SHEERAN BETRAYED. 3. Looking at the crowd, the stadium was packed with Brits of all backgrounds and races who were all there for the music AND for the cause of Palestine. Their dedication was impressive. I suspect most of them were unaware of the situation just 4 years ago. But the genocide has been a FORMATIVE experience for them, particularly for the young. The Palestinian cause will remain with them for the REST OF THEIR LIVES, I suspect, just as the anti-apartheid fight has for those who combated apartheid South Africa in the 70s and 80s. 4. Israel is well aware what it has done to the Palestinians, but it appears oblivious to what it has done to itself. An entire generation of young people, including in the West, will likely never side with Israel again.

People don't seem to understand that if police didn't act, we'd have 4,000 of these terrorist grannies out there, not hurting anyone at all. It doesn't bear thinking about.
Over 4,000 pro-Palestinian people arrested in total, and 94 year-old Margaret is taken again, despite decades of service to the country

ā€œThis hair dryer has helped us more than many countries have.ā€
Cooking gas and firewood are hard to come by in Gaza. So one baker got creative – with a homemade oven, sesame oil, paper and a hair dryer.

Gaza City is literally living through its final days, and every passing day makes life here more difficult and unbearable. We are losing what little remains of our resources and capabilities, with no alternatives available. Dozens of essential goods and raw materials are still prohibited from entering. Every basic necessity of life is gradually disappearing from the city. I am not exaggerating; this is the reality we are living. Things you take for granted in your everyday lives, things you barely think twice about, are simply unavailable here. It has reached the point where even lighters are no longer available. Wood, iron, cement, and all other construction materials are prohibited from entering. Bakeries, water stations, and shops are shutting down one after another because of shortages of fuel, oils, and raw materials. Even the agricultural sector has been almost entirely destroyed after approximately 70% of agricultural land was seized. We are not simply facing a shortage of goods. We are gradually losing everything that allows a city to function, survive, and sustain life. What is happening is pushing Gaza City towards complete dependence on external aid, rather than allowing it to produce its own necessities and provide for its people. Write, share, and speak about what is happening. Do not stop amplifying our voices.

BREAKING: Peaceful protestors are being arrested AGAIN. The arrests of grandparents, teenagers and everyone in between for peacefully holding signs are a truly SHAMEFUL attack on our freedom of speech. Peaceful protests are one of the best ways we have to make the government listen to us. The Foreign Secretary has said that the government never meant to treat elderly people, vicars and grandmothers as criminals. Even the Home Secretary has said that some of these arrests make her uncomfortable. IF YOU’RE OUTRAGED, MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD – add your name to the petition: amn.st/6013BHSZu3

On December 31, the current United Nations Secretary-General, António Guterres, will conclude his decade-long tenure at the helm of the organization. The UN is now vetting potential successors. The LIGP has serious concerns about the candidacy of Lana Nusseibeh, the United Arab Emirates’s Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, who is being seen as a compromise candidate. Nusseibeh has acted in contradiction to the principles of the United Nations, whitewashed genocide, and maintained close ties with two regimes accused of perpetrating genocide. She should not be entrusted with leading the United Nations. Such a position demands an unwavering commitment to international law, accountability, and the prevention of mass atrocities. The credibility of the United Nations is at stake. The question is stark: Will it continue as a flawed institution charged with the protection of the peace and security of all humanity or will it become merely one more cynical instrument used by genocidaires to further and cover up their crimes?

I got to visit Gaza city for the first time in 3 years in a field visit for these orphans in the quoted tweet, and this is what the road looked like):
My work colleague just told us a story while sobbing about orphans whose parents got killed during this genocide as they had to drag their dead bodies to a warehouse & while they were there dogs attacked their bodies & started eating from it & they had to stay with it for 2 days

David Shoebridge unleashes on Home Affairs after they admit they send undisclosed amount of taxpayer funds to PNG with zero checks & balances—while it’s ā€˜up to the PNG govt’ to do whatever they like with our money, Shoebridge ā€œThat’s not an answer to Australian taxpayers?ā€šŸ”„
