Do not underestimate the power of gentleness because gentleness is strength wrapped in peace, and therein lies the power to change the world. L.R. Knost
A Global Sumud Flotilla participant just testified from the depths of an Israeli detention center
"I was illegally kidnapped by Israel - like 425 other people."
"Handcuffs on my hands and feet. Dragged me. When I couldn't walk, they dragged me on the ground."
"They hit us. Hurt all of us a lot. Handcuffs so tight my hands lost feeling."
"They laughed all the time. Super sadistic."
"Took off my shirt. Took pictures. Mistreated us all night long."
Then she delivered her message to the world:
"Shame on you. Shame on all of you. Shame on every government that keeps trading with Israel. My government is complicit. Europe is complicit. The whole world is complicit."
"Flotilla video: Ben-Gvir’s template of televised abuse was honed on Palestinians. Targeting of foreign activists drew global outrage from governments that have not acted on violence against Palestinian detainees"

No amount of Israeli gaslighting is going to make this story go away. Systemic sexual abuse of Palestinian detainees has been reported for decades. Kudos to @NickKristof and @nytimes for having the principled courage to report it.
People can easily argue that Palestine is irrelevant to Britain (they’re wrong, on multiple levels, of course ) but Palestine is the moral test of the world
It is the centre of everything. How you react, who you defend, and who you abandon is the supreme litmus test of humanity.
GAME OF THRONES STAR LIAM CUNNINGHAM DROPS TRUTH BOMB:
“Doing business with Israel is a PERMISSION SLIP for GENOCIDE!”
“There is NO middle ground. You either stand with Palestine… or you stand with Genocide... SANCTION ISRAEL NOW!” @liamcunningham1
MEMO to British mainstream media:
THIS abomination BELOW should be front page news and top of the bulletins and not a foolish, stupid, reckless share of a tweet
Since the liberation of Cuba in 1959 from US imperialism.
The USA has bombed 25 countries, invaded 13 countries and killed at least 20m people.
The 'evil' Cuba has bombed no one and invaded no one.
¡Viva Cuba!
At what point do we stop pretending our newspapers are ‘news’ and start calling them what they are…
Promotional pamphlets for the billionaires who own them and the agendas they’re selling.
“My life has become a rollercoaster,” she says in reference to the death threats and sanctions. “I never imagined living without a bank card, but I do. People help me. My freedom is stronger than my fear. You are defeated the moment you stop fighting.”
