He laid down his life for a cause he believes in, always conscious of the fate that might one day claim him.
But knowing this doesn't ease the sorrow that now consumes me. How I wish he had been granted more time-to live,to be with his wife and children
What a cursed Nation… 😭

"The charge of anti-Semitism has been instrumentalized to shut down speech in ways that should be acutely alarming for anyone who cares not only about free speech in the public domain, but academic freedom on college campuses. When even calls for ceasefire are considered anti-Semitic, only those who support Israel’s annihilationist war against the Palestinian people in Gaza are exonerated of the charge. The conflation of anti-Semitism with anti-Zionism can only serve the purposes of extreme censorship, for it constrains those who oppose ongoing Israeli violence, the killing of nearly 18,000 Gazans to date, from expressing moral and political outrage and defending fundamental principles of free expression and political justice. If we dare to name the killing as annihilationist, as bearing genocidal intent, or as genocide itself, as more than 800 jurists have recently insisted, then we are accused of anti-Semitism. But what does it mean to speak up against genocide only to be censored? It means that only speech that defends injustice is defensible." Judith Butler

Deutsche Politiker fahren wieder mal eine rassistische
Kampagne gegen deutsche Palästinenser und Muslime. Das "Land der Gaskammern" wirft Muslimen vor, sie hätten den Antisemitismus nach Deutschland importiert. Das ist nicht nur Geschichtsfälschung. Es ist Volksverhetzung.

Als es in der Weimarer Republik wichtig war, unsere jüdischen Mitbürger zu verteidigen, haben sich die meisten Politiker feige weggeduckt. Jetzt, wo es wichtig wäre, auch muslimische und palästinensische Mitbürger zu verteidigen, ducken sie sich erneut weg. Weil Opportunisten glauben, mit Feigheit komme man weiter.

Der Satz, dass Palästinenser genau soviel wert sind wie Israelis, und Muslime genau soviel wert wie Juden und Christen, kommt diesen Opportunisten nie über die Lippen. Artikel 1 unseres Grundgesetzes, wonach die Würde jedes Menschen unantastbar ist, interessiert solche Politiker nicht.

"Denk ich an Deutschland in der Nacht,
Dann bin ich um den Schlaf gebracht,
Ich kann nicht mehr die Augen schließen,
Und meine heißen Tränen fließen." (Heinrich Heine).

Es ist wirklich alles nur noch traurig.

Mitgefühl für die palästinensische Bevölkerung in Gaza bedeutet nicht Sympathie mit der Hamas. Bedeutet nicht, das Leid der israelischen Opfer und deren Familien zu relativieren. Heißt nicht, das Existenzrecht Israels in Frage zu stellen. Dass das so schwer zu begreifen ist.

[Malala Yousafzai @Malala]

I’m horrified to see the bombing of al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza and unequivocally condemn it. I urge the Israeli government to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza and reiterate the call for a ceasefire. I am directing $300K to three charities helping Palestinian people under attack.

I’m sorry but the way he enunciated “galla” has me rolling. Like what do they think they’re accomplishing here?

In Ethiopia, the use of the ethnic slur "Galla" against the Oromo is offensive & punishable by law. The "grand #Amhara convention" led by @AAA_Amhara propagated the same derogatory term. @TwitterSports

The thinking and political narrative that threw Ethiopia back into devastating civil wars and economic collapse was Prime Minister Abiy's medemer. Following the recent minor disagreements between Abiy and his medemer advisors, many were speculating as if the medemer regime 1/4

I am sad to note that most of the international media seem to be discovering suddenly that the conflict in Tigray was hiding another one, the one in Oromya. It has made the region 'ungovernable', according to a major international newspaper.
