So pleased that at least SAM NEILL has an environmental conscience which is more than this destructive @nznationalparty@actparty@nzfirst government of environment thugs vandals and demolishers are https://t.co/ZbBeq0f954
🚨 Tomorrow, Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya faces a hearing to rubberstamp the extension of his arbitrary detention — without charges or trial – for another six months. Dr. Hussam should have never been detained in the first place, let alone subjected to this ordeal of torture and abuse. Israel must immediately and unconditionally release Dr. Hussam and all arbitrarily detained Palestinians.

🚨🇮🇱 I CAN‘T STAND THIS PROPAGANDA ANYMORE.
Yes, I’m glad that Israeli hostages have been freed. And just as glad that Palestinian prisoners have been released. But a few things need to be made clear:
FIRST: It’s absurd that Israelis are called “hostages” while Palestinians are labeled “prisoners.” That’s propaganda. It’s the same thing: human beings who’ve had their freedom taken away, on both sides.
SECOND: The released Israeli hostages appear well-fed, smiling, not a single kilo lost. Clearly treated well under the circumstances. In contrast, the Palestinian prisoners look like they’ve just walked out of a death camp: emaciated, scarred, aged by years of abuse. Tortured. And no one talks about it.
THIRD: Everywhere I read: “Hamas killed all the women, only men were released.” That’s simply a lie. A malicious one. The women who were still alive had already been released in earlier exchange deals. But facts don’t matter when it’s time to push the next hate-driven narrative for $7000.
FOURTH: Everyone talks about a handful of Israeli hostages, but no one mentions the tens of thousands of Palestinian hostages abducted by Israel. Many of them children. Imprisoned without charges, without trial.
FIFTH: And no one talks about the tens of thousands of civilians killed in Israel’s genocide.
SIXTH: While the ‘ceasefire’ (it’s just a matter of time until Israel breaks it again) is being celebrated, radical Israeli settlers are still violently stealing land in the West Bank; with full impunity. They break international law daily, and no one seems to care.
SEVENTH: Politicians across the world are shamelessly cucking for Israel, offering blind support while refusing to even mention the crimes committed in Gaza, the ongoing apartheid in the West Bank, or the endless aggression toward neighboring countries.
EIGHTH: The same governments and media that claim to stand for human rights, international law, and “never again” are now either silent or fully complicit: funding, arming, and excusing an apartheid regime in real time. When Palestinian lives are dehumanized, erased, and bombed into dust, suddenly all those values vanish
So no, I will not take part in this propaganda. I will not whitewash Israel’s crimes.
And yes, I still stand by my words: A STATE LIKE ISRAEL SHOULD NOT EXIST.
The #Flotilla didnt get through but by a small miracle, the distraction of the boats on the IOF, it gave the Palestinians enough time to fish. Yes that is correct, Palestinians are not allowed to fish in their own waters without being shot so this is a small victory
Bob is 100% correct, it's bad enough British sycophants but any Irish person who accepts the british royal 'pat on the head' is a validator of imperialism and genocide.
Today @jeremycorbyn rises, calling for Israel’s war crimes to be investigated in Parliament. This is why the Israeli state, the deep state, and the British establishment conspired to silence him. They knew his moral compass, his defiance of empire. Like Arthur, he is the leader denied to us—Our once and Future Prime Minister.
