Israel's destruction of life in Lebanon is an extension of its ongoing genocide in Gaza. The British government is shamefully complicit in both.

[Global Insight Journal @GlobalIJournal]

This was HEARTBREAKING

Dr. Tanya Haj-Hassan, who volunteered in Gaza, exposed Israel:

"I held a lifeless child in my arms. There was no equipment to save him. This is not a war; it is a massacre of the innocent."

[Yanis Varoufakis @yanisvaroufakis]

Now that Gaza lies in ruins—shattered, like a beloved face after a long brutality—Israel moves with a terrible confidence to the next act: The act of leaving every soul there not merely wounded, but permanently disabled. Injured, sick, hungry, homeless, without work, without hope. This is not war’s collateral damage. This is design.

As my friend Gideon Levy writes—and he knows, he knows—this is the prelude to expulsion. Think of it: a society without teachers, without doctors, without social workers, without engineers, without clerks. That is not a society. That is a holding pen. A slow erasure. And when nothing functions—no school, no hospital, no office, no heart—then it becomes ‘easy,’ they tell themselves, to scatter the people to the four corners of the earth. Like seeds from a broken pod, except no soil will take them.

We must name this. Not with rage alone, though rage is honest. But with the cold, clear tears of recognition: they are making life impossible so that departure becomes the only ‘choice.’ And the world watches, adjusts its spectacles, and calls for restraint. Restraint! There is no restraint in a slow drowning.

Nobelprijswinnaar Krugman noemt Trump de meest openlijke corrupte leider. "We weten dat Putin zich met miljarden heeft verrijkt, dat haalde hij niet direct uit de schatkist. Er was altijd verhulling. Zelfs dictators uit derdewereldlanden proberen hun diefstal te verdoezelen."

خطاب قوي ممزوج بالدموع والبكاء على أطفال غزة!

وزيرة خارجية أيسلندا تبكي متأثرة وتقول:

"لقد عانى أطفال فلسطين ولا تزال سلامتهم الجسدية والنفسية تُنتهك بشكل غير مقبول. لا ينبغي أن يتعرض الأطفال لمعاملة لا إنسانية وإذا فشلنا أن نوقف معاناتهم فنحن فاشلون".

I'm Jewish, British & 64

All my life, I wondered how the Holocaust could have happened. I understood that Hitler & other leaders were EVIL, but how did millions of ordinary people go along with it?

NOW, seeing how so many in the West rationalise & defend the Gaza Genocide, I think I have my answer and it is profoundly disturbing

[Hein Janssen @hein_janssen]

De burgemeester, de onverschrokken Femke Halsema, heeft groot gelijk met deze ferme uitspraken over de voortdurende uitroeiingspolitiek van het Israëlische regiem. #Nakba

#wnlopzondag

Zeer sterk betoog van Jimmy Dijk tegenover Henk Kamp!!

‘Mensen zijn het zat dat politici het alleen maar over migratie hebben en alleen maar naar de migrant aan het wijzen zijn. Mensen willen dat hun problemen worden opgelost. Dezelfde politici in het filmpje (De Vos, Keijzer, Markuszower) zijn iedere dag, in iedere talkshow naar migranten aan het wijzen.
Ik ontken totaal niet dat er iets moet gebeuren met migratie. Maar stoppen met het eenzijdig hebben over migratie en de migranten de schuld geven terwijl afgelopen kabinetten waarin uw partij heeft gezeten zoveel heeft veroorzaakt’

Spanish actor Javier Bardem says speaking out against Israel’s genocide on Gaza has actually landed him more offers for work.

Speaking at the Cannes Film Festival, he said he believes the global narrative about Gaza has changed.

[Jewish Voice @jewishvoicelive]

We never see Israel as a Jewish state.

We stand with the Palestinian people and support the Palestine state.

The day the State of Israel was founded is a dark day for the Jewish people and history.

There is no Zionism in Judaism.

Jews are not Zionists. Zionists are not Jews.

Jews Say No! To Genocide & Israeli Apartheid.

Free Palestine
