The amazing, legendary Patti Smith rocked Limerick last night, took a Palestinian flag from the audience, talked about Ireland’s solidarity with the Palestinian people and wrapped herself in it. The crowd followed with chants of Free Palestine, special! #FreePalestine 🇵🇸
Iran excelled in wrestling
So the US bombed Iran's main wrestling arena at Azadi Stadium to rubble
The US regime seeks nothing less than the destruction of Iranian society
“Israel now believes it is successfully engaging in a final offensive to shatter the Palestinian community in East Jerusalem, to fragment and atomize it and transform it into a demographic reality with no political or national significance,” said the author Mouin Rabbani, “as in any other situation, cultural institutions are central and integral to sustaining communal life and providing it with its identity. This explains their targeting.”
I was interviewed by @HalaGorani for her @newlinesmag article on Israel's assault on Palestinian cultural life in Jerusalem.

If anyone, after three years of US- supported genocide, aggression, extrajudicial executions, & widespread destruction abroad and persecution at home, still had any doubt that the violent lawlessness and fascistic arrogance of the US government (and its Israeli partner) was a threat to the entire world, this open declaration of unlawful intent should settle the matter. The US is expanding its unlawful attacks on the ICC, on the broader system of international law, and on the very concept of human rights. If the world does not rise from its knees to stop the global rampage of the US-Israel Axis, it will damn itself to a generation or more of unprecedented darkness. Stand up or learn to live on your knees.

Germany continues to make itself a global laughingstock
Germany moves to criminalise denial of Israel’s existence while refusing to recognise Palestine
The proposed law could jail people 5 five years...

The trouble with impressive new technologies is that they have the uncanny ability to expose the awfulness of our relationship to one another, not to mention to our own selves. Now that our tech can engage directly with us, in a manner almost indistinguishable from a conversation between humans, we are presented with perhaps our last chance to make amends. https://t.co/WtT9Y9Rtdu
🚨 BREAKING:
🎬 Game of Thrones actor Liam Cunningham said:
"Anyone who does not support Palestine and does not see Israel as a terror state cannot call themselves a true Irishman. They should go and get a DNA test."
The Ministry of Education, Children and Youth in Luxembourg officially dismissed Bosnian teacher Fatima Kurtic from her position as a primary school teacher due to posts she shared on her personal Instagram account expressing support for Palestine, rejecting the killing of children, and condemning the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip.
The ministry accused Fatima of "antisemitism". Authorities claimed that her posts questioned the legitimacy of Israel's existence and incited hatred.
Fatima categorically denied these accusations, stressing that her posts criticized the policies of the Israeli government and war crimes, and never targeted the Jewish religion or the Jewish people.
Oh, Emily, the very notion that you might have something to say about charlatanism and dishonesty is a hoot and a half. CMZs are declared post factum with a moment's notice, nearly exclusively at the instruction of settlers. You'd know that if you ever spent time in the WB.
It’s wild that Wimbledon has a ban on showing the nationality of Russian players, but Israeli players face no such restriction. If you’re going to have bans at least be consistent, otherwise it feels like genocide denialism with strawberries and cream.
