Gamal Abdel Nasser said it plainly.
The Israelis “speak about the Nazi treatment and how they were badly treated in Germany… they treated Arabs the same way, and they expelled them, killed them, killed their children, destroyed their villages.”
He was there in 1948. He watched villages emptied, families driven out, children killed, homes erased. Then the world was told to remember only one catastrophe and forget the other.
Nasser’s point was not complicated: you cannot claim exclusive victimhood while repeating the same methods of expulsion and destruction against another people. The Palestinian refugees did not vanish. Their villages were not imaginary. Their right of return was not a slogan invented yesterday.
Palestine was not empty land waiting for a new owner. It was a people with homes, fields, and children. Those who were driven out still exist. Their demand is not hatred. It is return, recognition, and an end to the idea that one people’s suffering erases another’s.
From the river to the sea, the land had a people. They were not erased. They were not forgotten. They are still here.

Actress Susan Sarandon being arrested earlier today for protesting Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech at the United Nations. One is speaking out against genocide, one is committing it. One was arrested, one was not.
Israel’s PM Benjamin Netanyahu said Zohran Mamdani is making Jews in New York City feel “unsafe.”
Here I am, a Jew in New York City, standing a few feet away from a massive anti-Netanyahu protest, and I feel completely safe.
Benjamin Netanyahu is a liar. And a war criminal.
*Uprooting trees to uproot the people*
Weeks before the olive harvest, Israel orders uprooting Palestinian olive trees across the occupied West Bank. Thousands have already been destroyed since October 2023.
Environment destruction is part of the accelerated ethnic cleansing.
This is the latest photo of my city Beit Hanoun, a city that was once home to more than 50,000 people.
There is not a single home, mosque, hospital, clinic, school, road, or even a single tree left standing in the city. Israel bombed every home here and then bulldozed the ruins once again.
Here, the “most moral” army committed a genocide from which no human being, stone, or even tree was survived.
ICE killed another man. His name is Mario David Coronado Juarez.
Mario lived and worked in Michigan for 7 years as a construction worker, sending money home to his kids in Guatemala.
ICE pursued him in an unmarked car, causing a fatal car crash.
These killings have to stop. #AbolishICE.
@MagnifiqueTomy C’est toute une bande d’extrémistes, criminels qui ne se soucie pas de commettre des crimes de guerre et des génocides et qui a la conscience tranquille devant l’extermination de tout un peuple, des psychopathes sadiques
Ce n'est ni un sketch, ni une blague. C'est la nazification de la jeunesse israélienne.
Le producteur et présentateur Lior Schlein discute avec des jeunes Israéliens. Les questions fusent : « Pensez-vous qu'il y ait des innocents à Gaza ? » « Devrions-nous commettre un génocide à Gaza ? »
Ce ne sont pas des provocations. Ce ne sont pas des questions pour rire. Ce sont de vraies questions, posées par des gamins à un adulte. Et l'adulte, qui se croit modéré, ne s'indigne même plus. Il enregistre. Il diffuse. Il trouve ça normal.
Voilà où nous en sommes. Le simple fait que cette conversation existe, et qu’elle soit filmée sans que personne ne bronche, pose la seule question qui vaille : y a-t-il des innocents en Israël ?
Et je vois déjà venir ceux qui vont dire : « C’est une minorité. Une frange extrémiste. Pas toute la société. » Non. C’est l’immense majorité. Une majorité qui, dans le miroir, voit ce qu’elle est devenue, et préfère le projeter sur l’autre. Pas pour se donner bonne conscience. Parce qu’on le lui a appris. Une éducation idéologique, méthodique, qui a fabriqué une génération entière dans cette logique.
Une génération qui demande si elle doit exterminer tout un peuple. Et qui attend la réponse.
Nos últimos dias nós temos sido alvo de uma intensa campanha de violência política. Das ameaças de morte a mim, à minha família, aos nossos militantes, às invasões de sionistas em nossos comitês (a pé ou de carro), às campanhas de mentiras, imputação de falsos crimes e até a tentativa de arrombamento de nosso comitê.
É importante deixar bem evidente para o sionismo que:
1. O tempo de vocês acabou. O mundo não aceitará mais calado as suas violações.
2. Vocês não conseguem nos parar através da violência e da intimidação.
3. Todas as ações de vocês contra nós estão sendo catalogadas e nosso departamento jurídico está agindo contra todos os crimes cometidos por vocês.
Eu compreendo que a eleição está chegando e bateu o desespero eleitoral. Eu consigo imaginar a preocupação dos políticos da extrema-direita que foram derrotados por nós nos debates, dos que têm candidaturas inexpressivas do campo sionista e tentam de toda forma cavar atenção e os que já exercem altos cargos e temem a chegada de uma pessoa que, mesmo antes de eleito, já fiscaliza, abre pedido de impeachment, faz ação direta e denuncia os mal feitos.
Estamos só começando. Nós vamos livrar o Brasil do sionismo e dar tudo de nós na luta contra a interferência dos assassinos de guerra Trump e Netanyahu em nosso país.
Podem ameaçar e atacar o quanto quiserem. Não daremos nenhum passo atrás.
هاتوا نصفه الثاني يا أبوي
ماذا يشعر الأب حين يحمل نصف ولده في قطعة قماش؟
حين قُصف ولدي بصير، أصابه الصاروخ فشطر جسده إلى نصفين. حملناه على عجل إلى سيارة الإسعاف. كان رأسه بجواري على سريرها، لكنني لم أستطع البقاء في الخلف، فطلبت من السائق أن يتوقف كي أجلس إلى جانبه.
نزلت بصعوبة، متكئًا على المسعف. وحين نهض مساعد السائق ليُفسح لي مكانه، سقطت من حجره قطعة قماش جُمعت فيها أشلاء ولدي. رأيت ساقيه وأحشاءه على الأرض. انحنيت، وجمعتها بيدي، وأعدتها إلى القماش، ثم وضعتها في حضني.
طوال الطريق إلى المستشفى، كنت أحمل نصف ولدي في حضني، بينما كان نصفه الآخر على سرير الإسعاف. لم أعرف كيف يتسع قلب أبٍ لهذه اللحظة؛ كنت أعرف فقط أن بصيرًا ولدي، وأن عليّ أن أبقى معه.
وعندما وصلنا، نزلت أحمل قطعة القماش. حملها أحدهم عني، والتفتُّ إلى ولدي الذي أُنزل من سيارة الإسعاف، وقلت:
«هاتوا نصفه الثاني يا أبوي، لأجمعه على جسده الطاهر».
يا بصير، جمعتُ ما استطعتُ من جسدك، لكن كيف أجمع قلبي بعدك؟ كنتُ أحملك صغيرًا فأخشى عليك من نسمة برد، ثم حملتُ نصفك في قطعة ق��اش، والعالم يمضي كأن شيئًا لم يحدث.
اللهم إنك تعلم أنه ولدي، وأنني لم أترك منه ما استطعتُ حمله. فتقبّله شهيدًا، واجمعني به في جناتك، حيث لا فراق بعد لقاء، ولا أبٌ يُنادى عليه ليحمل نصف ولده.
Bring Me His Other Half, My Son
What does a father feel when he carries half of his son in a piece of cloth?
When my son Baseer was struck, the missile tore his body in two. We rushed him into an ambulance. His head was beside me on the stretcher, but I could not bear to stay in the back. I asked the driver to stop so I could sit beside him.
I stepped out with difficulty, leaning on a paramedic. As the driver’s assistant rose to give me his seat, a piece of cloth holding my son’s remains fell from his lap. I saw my son’s legs and internal organs on the ground. I bent down, gathered them with my own hands, wrapped them again, and held them in my lap.
All the way to the hospital, I carried half of my son while the other half lay on the ambulance stretcher. I do not know how a father’s heart can hold such a moment. I only knew that Baseer was my son, and I had to stay with him.
When we arrived, I stepped out carrying the cloth. Someone took it from me. I turned to my son as he was lifted from the ambulance and said:
“Bring me his other half, my son, so I can put his body back together.”
Baseer, I gathered what I could of your body. But how do I put my heart back together without you? Once, I held you as a little boy and worried that even a cold breeze might hurt you. Then I held half of you in a piece of cloth, while the world went on as though nothing had happened.
O Allah, You know he is my son, and that I carried every part of him I could. Accept him among the martyrs, and reunite me with him in Your Paradise, where no reunion ends in parting, and no father is called to carry half of his child.
While Israel continues its genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, ethnic cleansing in the West Bank and persists with imposing its unlawful occupation and system of apartheid against Palestinians, PM Benjamin Netanyahu, wanted by the ICC for war crimes and crimes against humanity, is set to address the UN General Assembly in New York instead of standing trial at The Hague.
It is doubly shameful that the US government continues to ignore the arrest warrant against Netanyahu - while denying Palestinian representatives visas to attend the UNGA.
Nearly two years since the ICC issued arrest warrants against Netanyahu, impunity continues to reign - and Palestinians are paying the price. Continuing to undermine the ICC sends a cruel message to all victims of international crimes that prospects for justice remain elusive while the USA and other powerful states deliberately erode the universal value of international law.
All states, including the USA, should enforce the Court’s arrest warrants and hand over Netanyahu to the ICC. International law must be upheld and international justice mechanisms supported to end impunity for international crimes and ensure respect for human rights for all.
The whole world has to isolate this rogue Apartheid genocidal maniac, serial killing, pathologically lying state, isolate it & shame anyone who goes there.
Israel is exposed, Zionism is on its last leg & only exists on the weight of its own collapsed propaganda.
@AbbyMartin 🔥
Netanyahu stood at the UN and said Palestine shouldn’t exist, while his own country is younger than my grandfather.
🇵🇸 Only Palestinians can decide Palestine’s future.
Palestine for Palestinians.
Let the people decide.

What happened to me is bigger than one artist or one stage. When the billionaire class can decide which voices are allowed on stage and which ones are too dangerous to hear, everyone should be paying attention.
So we're going on tour. All proceeds will benefit organizations supporting the Palestinian people and movement.
