🥁 La légendaire journaliste Abby Martin, très engagée sur l'information sur la Palestine depuis de nombreuses années, vient à Paris pour présenter son film sur la destruction de l'environnement par l'armée des États-Unis.

In a passionately defiant speech at the UNGA, President Petro of Colombia has just announced a proposal for a UN protection force to stop the genocide in Palestine. The process has begun, and this process has no veto behind which to hide. All states will now have to say yes or no to protection for a people facing extermination. History will record every vote. And so will we.
“Some people have decided to look at Palestinians as somehow not fully human. Because if you think of Palestinians as fully human, you cannot find excuses for this kind of mass murder,”
—Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
HANDS OFF ZIMBABWE 🇿🇼
Zimbabwe is being pressured to pay $3,500,000,000 in reverse reparations to white settlers for lands originally stolen from African farmers by British colonialism.
“Where people face repression and rights violations every day, activists see a clearer connection... We can’t talk about the climate if we can’t even go out on the street and hold a sign. Climate activism and human rights are united.”

Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon are now relentlessly claiming hundreds of civilian lives.
And I am very saddened to confirm that two UNHCR colleagues were also killed yesterday.
On behalf of all us at UNHCR, heartfelt condolences to their families, friends and colleagues.
The attacks on Gaza, on the West Bank, on Jerusalem, on Palestinians in the diaspora & on those standing up to defend the Palestinian people around the world are all part of the same genocide. The reach of the genocide machine is wide. Those supporting Israel & its lobbies in these acts are complicit in genocide. Some may escape judicial accountability, but all will be held accountable by society and by history.
A ceasefire would benefit Hamas!
Peace in Ukraine would benefit Putin!
Letting China just “take” Taiwan without a fight benefits Xi Jinping!
If peace consistently benefits your enemies, then maybe YOU are the bad guy
Putin obviously would say this, but that doesn't mean he's wrong: it's painfully obvious to anyone paying attention, and I think Europeans are slowly realizing it (finally).
De Gaulle said it best: "The truth is that the Americans will end up being hated by everyone. Even by their most unconditional allies. All the dirty tricks imagined by the Americans are contradicted by events." (quoted by his confident Alain Peyrefitte in "C’était De Gaulle")
François Mitterrand also said it: "France does not know it, but we are at war with America. Yes, a permanent war, a vital war, an economic war. Yes, the Americans are very tough, they are voracious, they want undivided power over the world. It is an unknown war, a permanent war, seemingly without deaths and yet a war to the death..." (quoted by Georges Marc Benamou in "Le dernier Mitterrand")
