Israelis continue to argue about "liberals" and "messianics". Meanwhile, Israel continues to slaughter Palestinians by bombing or by allowing hunger and diseases to spread throughout Gaza. Neither side in the "political debate" says anything about the genocide. Full dissociation.
Oggi, alla plenaria di Strasburgo, ho portato in Aula ciò che ho visto con i miei occhi in Cisgiordania, nei territori palestinesi occupati.
Il sangue ancora sull’asfalto a Ebron, la paura di rivolgersi alla giustizia, un bambino nato sottopeso assistito in una scatola di scarpe con del cotone, una sposa in lacrime davanti alla propria casa distrutta.
𝗛𝗼 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼 𝗾𝘂𝗲𝗹 𝗽𝗼𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗼 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗼 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶 𝗴𝗹𝗶 𝗲𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗶 𝗱𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗲 𝗹𝗮 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗮 𝗴𝘂𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗮 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗲. Di fronte a tutto questo, l’Europa non può voltarsi dall’altra parte.
Dobbiamo sanzionare Israele e interrompere ogni contatto con il suo governo, la condanna, da sola, non basta più!
This is Nevo Nadalski.
He is one of the main people organising attacks against the Palestinian village of Umm al-Kheir. He is the military coordinator of Carmel settlement. He is present at every attack against Palestinians in the area.
Make him famous.
The cure for despair is awe, wonder, and humility.
It is true that there is unfathomable cruelty in this world that will bring you crashing to your knees. And it is true that we are ruled by monsters with deeply entrenched power.
But it is also true that we live in a mysterious universe whose ways are almost entirely unknown to us. And it is also true that we don’t really have any idea where humanity’s adventure is headed.
We are made of particles too small for our minds to imagine, spinning through an expanse of blackness too vast for our minds to comprehend, because we are naked apes whose fleshy brains were evolved for the purpose of obtaining fruit and meat, not for understanding absolute reality and cracking the enigmas of the cosmos.
Our best scientists have produced no answers to any of life’s most significant questions, having to content themselves with a humble shrug over the most basic inquiries like why anything exists, what matter is, and what is the nature of consciousness. The greatest minds of the last two hundred years were baby monkeys poking at a supercomputer and yelping at the beeps.
We come into this world dazzled and clueless, we stumble around making our best guesses for a few years, and then we take our exit with more or less the same amount of knowledge we had when we showed up. An insignificant rounding error’s worth of understanding, in the grand scheme of things.
All I’m saying is we don’t actually know what’s going on, and it’s helpful to hold some humility about this while taking action and trying to effect positive change in the world. We’re all just children trying to figure this thing out together based on a very, very limited understanding of what’s happening and how things work.
We’re going to fail a lot. We’re going to lose a lot. We’re going to make a ton of mistakes. We’re going to get confused. Of course we are. We’re a bunch of cute little idiots.
So what do we do? We keep trucking along. We stumble through life trying to make the world a better place as effectively as we can, making our best guesses about the next step to take along the journey using these dopey little monkey brains that our species evolved a blink of an eye ago.
We study. We organize. We take action. We talk to people. We go to meetings and have patience with how stupid and frustrating they can be. We share our tiny little cups of information with those who don’t have it and open people’s minds to the possibility that a better world is possible.
And in the meantime, there’s awe and wonder. No matter what happens or how badly things go, for a few short years we get to be on this astonishingly beautiful planet together. We get to look at its beauty with our eyes, listen to its beauty with our ears, let its beauty sing its glory in the physical sensations in the body, as we meander around through a fascinating world that we will never, ever understand.
How great is that?
You have access to this always, in each moment. Start from where you are. The emotions you’re feeling in your body. The thoughts dancing around in your head. The visual field right in front of you. The sounds in the room. The feeling of the air moving through your respiratory system. The feeling on your flesh of whatever surface our planet’s gravity is holding you to right now.
It’s an explosion of miracles, and it is radiantly beautiful. If you can’t find the beauty right now, keep looking. It’s there. I swear to you it is.
If you can let the beauty and wonder in while doing what you can to improve the world, there is no reason despair should ever touch you. Just put in your best effort while relishing each moment of this delicious terrestrial existence, and despair will find no purchase within you.
A new disaster is unfolding in Gaza.
More than 9,300 cases of Varicella Zoster Virus have been reported in Gaza within just two weeks.
The situation is extremely dangerous, with most cases affecting children. The virus is spreading rapidly inside tents due to overcrowding, lack of clean water, and poor hygiene conditions.
Children are suffering from severe skin rashes and painful itching, causing their skin to become red and inflamed from intense scratching, while most of them have no access to treatment or proper medical care.
This is a message from Gaza to the world:
Despite the war, the destruction, and the hardship of daily life, we still search for moments of joy and hold on to hope whenever despair tries to take over. We are not just headlines or numbers in reports—we are people who love life, dream of safety, and want our children to smile like children everywhere else.
Gaza is not seeking war. Gaza is seeking life.
Cuba’s🇨🇺 Ambassador to the UN TORCHES the US’🇺🇸 Ambassador Mike Walz:
‘The US is carrying out multidimensional, non-conventional warfare against Cuba. There is an energy siege, which is equivalent to a naval blockade. Which is also an act of war…
YOU ARE A LIAR, MR. WALZ.’
One of US deadliest military atrocities in history:the Moro Crater Massacre, Philippine 1906
Under the command of Colonel Joseph Wilson Duncan the US military slaughtered 1,000 Muslim Tausūgs,he even claim that the women and children were used as human shield to kill them too!
My great-grandfather was an extremely poor dark-skinned Upper Egyptian man who died due to hunger & thirst doing what amounts to slave labour in a harrowing lonely way, leaving his son (grandpa) an orphan who was forced to go to Alexandria & work as a child. I have distant relatives who went to war with israel. I do not need ANYONE living in fucking Europe or the US or Canada or the UK to "teach" me about solidarity or act like they care about people in Gaza more. Do you think people's survival & sustenance is a game? What do your privileged comfortable selves even know about hunger & thirst? If you want to ask me about something, ask properly in messages & maybe for once assume some good-faith. You do not have to act like God on Judgement day and throw disgusting accusations at me like a criminal in public, based on utter bullshit & stuff you are not even fully aware of!!! It's my fault that I considered people like you "friends". None of you apologized for the disgusting defamation or deleted it, while hypocritically asking others to delete anything about you. I do not want to be here on this website & I am ONLY here to provide more visibility to fundraisers. I'm extremely stressed & sick & dealing with personal issues. Whatever I do is for Allah's sake only & only he has the right to question me. Unlike you, I will not stoop to your level & accuse you of disgusting crimes like you did to me, for example if i were like you, i'd accuse you of making multiple reports against me to protect that disgusting sexual harasser who harassed 1 woman & attempted to harass 2 others. You know very well what you're doing. I spoke to many of you about what is happening yet nobody cared at least for the sake of people in Gaza who were harassed by malicious people. You called it "childish". You carry on your necks the burden of all the people from Gaza, Sudan & Yemen whose campaigns were stagnant. You did not apologize but I will not forgive you either way. I will make duaa against you. I cannot tolerate your disgusting defamation & disrespect anymore. Discuss things like equal adults or shut up. You only acted like useful idiots for malicious actors who harm people in Gaza, with your ego & total ignorance.
