@urbanchestnut hiya friends, is the big shark grapefruit radler going to appear in local stores this year? I've seen the tangerine, but long for that grapefruit bitter edge!
Breaking: New 100-page report by @unitedforrights & human rights centers at Yale, Cornell, University of Pretoria & Boston University finds that Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza & calls on govts to avoid complicity & act to bring end to this grave crime.
I guess it failed in the sense that funding is being renewed, which was never a guarantee. But I feel like it succeeded in the sense that it contributed to starvation-like conditions and widespread financial exploitation
I hate how every grieving and heartbroken Palestinian in Gaza has to have a camera in their face. I hate that it’s the only way the world will even begin to humanise us. And still it’s not enough.
Congrats to Joe Biden & Democrats — your relentless support for Israel killing 34,000 people has resulted in a historic anti-war movement (led by the young people who are supposedly your base) & the arrest of protestors and journalists which you warn will happen under Trump
We are seeing greater state violence enacted at college protests than Nazi marches. Don’t you dare fucking tell me any of this is about Jewish safety or antisemitism. And every pro Palestine college protest includes a significant number of Jewish students
We are being asked to be horrified and disgusted that people in this country are protesting this.
We are being told - by organizations, institutions, the news media, the Biden administration - that the real threat are those who stand & resist against this depravity.
Starting to understand the calculus here: any protest against the genocide can be invalidated by the actions of people outside of them, or any imperfection, real or imagined, but nothing that the state murdering and starving a population of people does can be criticized.
After being persecuted and suspended by the Hebrew University for her opposition to the annihilation of her people in Gaza, Palestinian Professor Shalhoub-Kevorkian now arrested. Israeli unis and settler state are part of the same complex of elimination, silencing, repression
Absolutely no self-respecting journalist should attend the White House correspondents dinner. Heed the calls of your colleagues in Gaza and honor those of them who have been killed in the Zionist regime’s genocidal assault. Boycott. https://t.co/lIKeN6IJR5
