President Trump on Gaza on his first day in office: "Gaza's interesting. It's a phenomenal location. On the sea, the best weather. ..Some fantastic things could be done with Gaza" (cit)
Welcome to the Real Estates of America.
Meeting Souzanne, among other Turtle Island Indigenous Peoples, was a true inspiration. From all corners of the world, we can bring to an end both genocide and then Apartheid, if we find the way to ignite our power. Together, we can.
Regrettably, I find myself forced to step down as external member to the International Justice and Human Rights Research Centre at Edge Hill University (UK). This follows the University’s dismissal of a distinguished scholar - also mother of two young kids (name undisclosed for privacy purpose) - on "grounds of attendance", due to her being treated for CANCER. I find absolutely outrageous that a place that teaches int'l law and human rights can take such an appalling decision, at such a critical moment in someone's life. I urge once again the University to immediately reinstate the employee and ascertain any responsibilities associated with her dismissal. @edgehill@ehudismissal
“The image of Dr. Hussam Abu Saffiyah, wearing his white medical overcoat, symbol of hope and humanity, summoned and walking towards Israeli tanks embodying death and destruction, will remain forever a reflection of what is at stake in Gaza: Humanity itself.“
The last photo of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, detained after refusing to abandon his colleagues and patients.
In just one image, we see both the power of Palestinian humanity and the moral weakness of all those complicit in genocide.
End all arms sales to Israel, now.
I will never forget how a fabricated story of beheaded Israeli babies moved journalists like @abbydphillip and @sarasidnerCNN to tears while real Palestinian babies dying of cold, starvation, under the rubble, burned alive, is met with silence and callous indifference.
Israel has destroyed the last remaining hospital in northern Gaza.
We have witnessed the total decimation of Palestinian healthcare, met with silence from political leaders who refuse to acknowledge the horrors they have enabled.
This is the dehumanising reality of genocide.
This recognition, like other accolades that I have received lately, speak not so much to my actions over the past 14 months - the normal opposition of a sentient human to a genocide - but rather to the silence of the many, particularly in the West, who should have spoken and acted against Israeli crimes and have chosen not to. I wonder how they manage to sleep at night.
“This is no life. No matter how much you talk about the suffering, you can’t truly describe it.”
As winter sets in throughout the Gaza Strip, people face rain and cold temperatures in tents.
