Resistance is not wanting to live in the limited imagination of the white colonial mind.

[Claudia Webbe @ClaudiaWebbe]

Rape with objects. Gang rape. Rape by trained dogs. Targeted genital shooting. Filmed. Photographed. Archived by the perpetrators. Across 12 named Israel detention sites.

The UN calls it a pattern. B’Tselem calls it a network of torture camps. Both are correct.

Lebanon is the second most-documented genocide in history after Palestine, yet the most denied.

[sarah @sahouraxo]

This is South Lebanon right now.

Israel is dropping bombs on civilian homes in Maarakah, Tyre.

American-made, American-supplied bombs.

The “ceasefire” is a lie.

[matrixbot @thematrixb0t]

Israel is doing to Lebanon what they did to Gaza…

A FATHER AND SON KILLED FOR WALKING HOME.

They didn't carry weapons; they carried memories and a simple dream of going home.

[Abubaker Abed @AbubakerAbedW]

Israel yesterday kidnapped four women. Two are footballers in the Palestinian National Team.

Their names are: Natali Abu Dia and Rand Halwani.

Is it normal to kidnap footballers, @FIFAcom? Where are sports media organisations? This story should be the headline everywhere.

my kid’s friend asked me: “what is Ai?” i replied: “it’s a super fast computer that makes fake things look real.” and I think that’s the definition of Ai as opposed to saying it is intelligent when it’s not

[Louis Pisano @LouisPisano]

am I crazy or is i-D Magazine totally just copying my substack essays? a few weeks ago I wrote about a press trip I went on and I explored the dynamics of it in an anthropological way…fast forward to today i-D drops an essay on Substack exploring a press trip from an anthropological angle. Prior to that I wrote a about how Demna and the Gucci show made me want to relapse I called it “Demna made me want to relapse” and I talked about rebranding in my personal life and Gucci in relation to it. A month later a “Chanel made me rebrand” essay on i-D’s Substack and the tone is almost exactly the same as my essay that went “viral” on the platform. The first time I was like this is weird but whatever but this press trip piece they put out today is 100% a copy of my “Anatomy of a Press Trip”. I’m annoyed.

thank you, Matthew Johnson and @theslowfactory

[susan abulhawa | سوزان ابو الهوى @susanabulhawa]

they don't have a convincing argument; so the only way is to silence the truth.

[Kate Willett @katewillett]

This is a crazy outcome for a human rights lawyer appointed by the UN to do her job

[susan abulhawa | سوزان ابو الهوى @susanabulhawa]

imagine this happening to you. there is no one you can call. there's a soldier up ahead ready to arrest you if you dare defend yourself. the only reason you are even seeing this is because there's a leftist Jewish Israeli activist filming it from inside, where he's trying to protect the family by documenting what Israeli settlers do on a daily basis.

[Amir @AmirAminiMD]

One killed journalist might be a tragic accident.

Two killed journalists are undeniable attempts to intimidate journalists and suppress freedom of press.

Over 260 dead journalists in 2.5 years is the works of the most ruthless terrorist organization in the history of the world.

TRUMP RUSHED FROM STAGE AS SHOTS RING OUT

SHOOTER KILLED

Heartbreaking news:

The injured child who I mentioned two hours ago has just succumbed to her wounds. Her name was Naya al-Tanani.
She was 4 years old.

I’m attaching in the comments a screenshot of her when she was injured 💔💔💔

[Sarah Wilkinson @swilkinsonbc]

The mother of Palestinian child Naya Al-Tanani, killed by the israelis last night in a strike on northern Gaza, is left holding her tiny body

[Motasem A Dalloul @AbujomaaGaza]

HORRIBLE crime and APPALLING silence

zionist jewish settlers KIDNAP Palestinian boys while travelling with their families in Masafer Yatta, the occupied West Bank..

[Suhasini Haidar @suhasinih]

How is this a "ceasefire"?

[Nada Maucourant Atallah @MaucourantNada]

“I told her, ‘I’m next to you.’
She told me, ‘Don’t fall asleep and leave me.’ I said, ‘No, no.’ Then exhaustion took over. I closed my eyes for a moment. Then I heard Amal scream. They struck the room again. Amal was gone.”

Reporter Zeinab Faraj recounts the harrowing hours her and journalist Amal Khalil waited for evacuation, as Israeli strikes pursued them, while preventing rescuers from reaching them.

I cannot comprehend the Lebanese who insist we surrender to these marauding criminals
