I care about Palestinians because it hurts to see them hurt. Because I empathize with them as a fellow human being. If you don’t understand that, the problem is not with me. Sadly, it is something to do with you.
RIP Aisha
Free Palestine 🇵🇸
Durante el período de exámenes en la Escuela del Patriarcado Latino de Gaza, tuvimos la alegría de compartir unos chocolates con nuestros estudiantes como un pequeño gesto de cercanía y ánimo.
Les deseo mucho éxito en sus exámenes y abundantes bendiciones en su camino de estudio, crecimiento y formación. ¡Adelante, con confianza y esperanza! 📚✨🙏🏻🍫
@cwo1983 Pigeons are beautiful birds. I have rescued a few and nourished them until they could be free and those who couldn’t be released became beloved pets. Martha and Pepe come to mind
Starvation as leverage.
This phrase should stop you.
It should stop you the way a physical thing stops you, the way walking into a wall stops you.
A child is hungry.
The child is hungry because a government has decided that the hunger of civilians is an acceptable instrument of political pressure.
That the pain moving through a child's body, the specific biological failure of a body denied nutrition, can be calibrated and deployed like a weapons system.
The United States has used sanctions to produce exactly this condition in Cuba for sixty-four years.
In Iraq in the 1990s, when Madeleine Albright, asked about the 500,000 Iraqi children who had died as a result of sanctions, said the price was "worth it".
In Iran, in Venezuela, in North Korea, in Yemen through support for a blockade that the UN has called a weapon of mass starvation.
Worth it.
Five hundred thousand children.
Worth it.
This sentence was spoken aloud by the Secretary of State of the "most powerful nation on earth" on television and the anchor thanked her for her time.
And the country kept calling itself the "indispensable nation."
And the people inside it kept believing it.
What do you have to have already decided about whose children count in order to say that sentence?
What do you have to have already become?
For immediate attention:
The ceasefire between Iran and the US is unequivocally a ceasefire on all fronts, including in Lebanon.
Its violation on one front is a violation of the ceasefire on all fronts.
The US and Israel are responsible for the consequences of any violation.
@ori_goldberg Ori, your voice resonates and matters more than you’ll ever know. At some point, the world will be prompted into action to correct all wrongs
Remember that staying silent is never an option.
Fuck you @CNN . This isn’t an incursion, it’s an illegal invasion and occupation. Israel is committing acts of genocide in Lebanon and you are aiding them with your propaganda.
Today I watched as an Israeli flag flew over Beaufort Castle, a @UNESCO world heritage site. I watched as the Israeli army bombed the area with white phosphorus. I photographed the destroyed castle with the Israeli flag flying over it; as if they are proud of the destruction they caused.
Shame on you and your correspondents in Beirut.
I’m eager for you to face the same fate as the propagandists at Nuremberg.
