After two years of interruption, Al-Quds Radio greets Gaza locals with its first morning announcement.
From the heart of the city's destroyed buildings, Gaza's voice resumes its broadcast.

“We won't be able to obtain or sustain a just environment for our next generations until the U.S. and the other colonial empires, as systems and as governments, until they fall, we won't be able to live a normal life. Don't lie to yourselves.”

Palestinian journalist Bisan Owda says Israel violated the Gaza ceasefire over 1,000 times in just three months, a level of aggression that would never be tolerated if carried out by Lebanon, Iran, Yemen, or any other nation.

Owda argued that Western powers, led by the United States, demand blind obedience to their “agreements” while ignoring Israel’s repeated violations.

She emphasized that Israel’s military actions depend entirely on U.S. support, making the genocide a U.S.-backed genocide, and that regional conflicts are driven by Washington and its allies.

Owda warned that true peace and justice in Palestine cannot exist while colonial empires, especially the U.S. and its allied powers, remain dominant.

People fail to understand after months of starvation our immune systems are severely compromised. We cannot withstand this cold.

"Protective presence" within liberal praxis means to document, curate & monetize. Zionists garner attention for these videos, raise funds - reducing Palestinians to mere objects of violence. Their political message is "Israel is bad, but reformable", which is a zionist position.

[Good Shepherd Collective @Shepherds4Good]

These end up being the authors (and ghostwriters) whose work you read in +972 and Jewish Currents. They host Peter Beinart in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. They co-direct films about “coexistence” and try to influence the rhetoric and policies of Western “solidarity” organizations.

[Good Shepherd Collective @Shepherds4Good]

Center for Jewish Nonviolence, which works closely with Rabbis for Human Rights and Achvat Amim, is also part of this cohort.

[Good Shepherd Collective @Shepherds4Good]

These groups further zionist colonization and settlement by attempting to give it a human face—normalizing with desperate Palestinians and then sending participants to rest in stolen homes in Jerusalem and Yaffa, which of course they see as belonging to them by birthright.

2 years later: Columbia University paid the student who sprayed us with chemicals $395,000. Over ten students were hospitalized by this, with students facing blindness, chemical inhalation, severe vomiting, and more. Columbia never condemned this & shoved it under the rug.

[Randa Abdel-Fattah @RandaAFattah]

Let me rephrase: Randa would not participate in an article that legitimised the voices of people who have defamed and vilified her, defend the state committing a genocode against her people, called for her to be sacked and excluded from public life.

Earlier this year, my kid was burned in fire that also destroyed our home. Since then, we have been recovering. We still need help with necessaries, still have surgeries, & if you could share or donate to my gofundme I would greatly appreciate it. 🫶🏿💕 https://t.co/JM5YHtxV1F

[Good Shepherd Collective @Shepherds4Good]

Check out the organization names listed in these screenshots—we and other Palestinian groups have been raising the alarm on these zionist formations for years. They are funded by the likes of the New Israel Fund and participants come directly from If Not Now, JVP, Na’amod, etc.

Sudanese families are sleeping in schools, half-built buildings, and out in the open right now. Not because they chose to leave home, but because violence forced them out. This is what forced displacement actually looks like.

[Shabazz @ShabazzArts]

I "hate" to break it to y'all but hate is the NATURAL response to oppression.

You are supposed to hate your oppressor and the only reason you don't is because of propaganda and religion.

Even an animal would hate you for putting them in a cage and controlling their life.

(Thread) I keep seeing people referencing some “lack of socialization” due to Covid “lockdowns” as what is causing emotional dysfunction & high stress in kids…and not the virus that literally damages the autonomic nervous system in charge of all that
