Tanks used to attack people waiting for food near Khan Younis, killing more than 50 and injuring hundreds with shellfire. The cruelty of using this violence against starving people is unconscionable #endthegenocideNOW www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads and granddads resisting oppression out of endless love for their families and for our shared human family. And glory to the martyred fathers and grandfathers.

This situation "worse than hell on earth" has been actively and deliberately created by genocidal choice, not only by Israel but by the allies - like the UK and its human rights lawyer prime minister - who have supported its war crimes for the last 1.5 years and continued to sell it weapons.

"Asaad al-Nasasra told PRCS he heard Israeli troops shoot first responders while they were clinging to life" www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

'We've Been Silent Too Long': 1,300 Israeli Academics Call to End Gaza War, Citing 'Moral Collapse' Yes, far too long. Yet many people there and elsewhere still equate opposition with antisemitism and justify all that Israel does. Not really a 'war' either. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

"What we are doing in Gaza is a war of extermination: indiscriminate, unrestrained, brutal, and criminal killing of civilians,” [former Prime Minister Olmert] said." www.huffpost.com/entry/israel...

And no Israeli Ambassador has been expelled from the vast majority of non-Western countries. Only Jordan, Bahrain, Turkey, Bolivia, Colombia, Honduras, Chile, Belize, Brazil, South Africa and Chad, have recalled their ambassadors to Israel or severed ties altogether.

"What we are doing in Gaza now is a war of devastation: indiscriminate, limitless, cruel and criminal killing of civilians... Israel is committing #warcrimes" - Ehud Olmert. When even the politicians say this, there's no doubt of the enormity of the violence www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

Ironically, while states don’t have a “right to exist” under international law, peoples under foreign domination do absolutely have an unquestionable right to declare themselves free from said domination. So… Free Palestine.

Israel's capacity for inhumanity knows no bounds. Nor should our determination to stop them. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

They are literally forcing all of Gazans into a concentration camp in what used to be Rafah in southern Gaza, after destroying it. They are now planning on annihilating Khan Younis. There’s never been a genocide so thoroughly documented as it was live-streamed straight to our phones.

In honor of his 100th birthday, sharing the only photo from Malcolm X’s visit to Gaza in 1964. He was welcomed by Gaza’s chief judge and scholar, Muhammad Khulusi Bseiso. When Malcolm X visited Gaza, he wept for the refugees, and as he departed he chanted “we shall return!”

Of all the headlines related to Gaza, this has to be one of the worst.

The annihilation of the Palestinian people on our watch. Anyone with a conscience, this is unconscionable. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

The videos and testimonies Palestinians share are meant to compel us to act, not to document their suffering and extermination. The action they deserve from us is civil disobedience withholding our work that keeps the West’s ruling class wealthy and powerful and Israel well-funded.

Eurovision was founded on values of peace. A country actively making war, bombing schools and hospitals and killing millions of innocents has no place in this contest. FREE PALESTINE AND #BanIsraelFromEurovision

The Israeli military has killed at least 125 Palestinians, including children sleeping in tents, as it unleashed a wave of air strikes across the Gaza Strip in the early hours of Sunday. #GazaGenocide 🔗: aje.io/61i1wi

"Self-defending" Rafah from the face of the earth. Honestly how can intelligent people see these maps and watch these videos, yet still be less upset than about their description as a systematic ethnic cleansing or as part of a genocidal form of warfare www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

I just saw a clip of people retrieving a leg separated from the body of a Palestinian in Gaza from the rubble of a house that was just bombed. Our people are literally being killed, burned alive, incinerated, and cut into pieces in their tents and in what’s left of their homes.

🇺🇳 The Gaza Strip, 14th May 2025. www.ochaopt.org/content/huma...

The world has abandoned the Palestinian people to their annihilation by Israel-US-UK-EU. Utterly shameful. May we never recover, may we never be forgiven. In abandoning the Palestinian people we have abandoned our own futures.

There are barely any building left in Gaza. So Israel is bombing the tents in the Al-Mawasi “safe zone.” Over 100 dead in the last 24 hours including families burned alive. The photo is from today.

By carrying on with our business as usual, we embody Arendt’s banality of evil. Western governments are not mere bystanders—they are actively aiding and abetting the extreme violence and crimes against humanity unfolding in Palestine. 🇵🇸

They're actually saying, "There's nowhere to flee. We're going to wipe you out." The rest of the world will focus on performative action at most. Except for Yemenis, everyone else has abandoned the Palestinian people and left it up to Israel-US-UK-EU to decide if/when to stop.

"Mohammed Al-Tabassi—a young man from Tel Al-Sultan in Rafah... was executed in cold blood by the Israeli army in a premeditated, twisted game of psychological torture... They gave him a 'choice': Die alone, or we bomb everyone in the camp."

There it is. As was long known, but there it is.

Rafah, Gaza Strip. Israeli forces are systematically blowing up the homes of displaced families, ensuring there’s nothing left standing—no shelter, no trace—for them to ever come back to.

How can the Israelis ever feel safe after having inflicted so incredible levels of pain, suffering and destruction? They can’t, they won’t. That is why now they feel they can only kill and expel Palestinians, especially children, the future menacing Palestinian adults.

Israel is still killing Gaza. Why doesn’t it get attention anymore? New piece by me. abuaardvarkghost.ghost.io/israel-is-st...

When the Nazis were committing genocide the allied powers went to war with them and defeated them with military force. But Palestinians are supposed to be hopeful because some European countries oppose Israel’s participation in a song contest? With friends like these…

Many of of us knew-but now all have witnessed: Isr*el is the most violent nation-state on the face of the earth today in the intensity of its utter barbarousness. And the US is the most violent empire in human history in terms of the scale and scope of its death-dealing. Truly historic collab…

fighting tears

Israel murdered this beautiful soul. Remember Fatima Hassona. Watch and spread the film "Put your soul on your hand and walk". And never stop fighting the mass murdering death machine that is the Israeli state. She was 25.

A publicly announced war crime. The legal background of the renewed siege, the cruelty of starving civilians, and possible implications for the ICJ genocide proceedings were just explained by @tomdannenbaum.bsky.social in this @verfassungsblog.de interview: verfassungsblog.de/those-with-t...
