One after another homely ship on the way to deliver humanitarian aid to a population under siege and genocide, knowing they will be apprehended, maybe the greatest love story the world will know this century, misconstrued as missionary for now

if gaza’s made you lose your faith in people, love, the kids, transformation, liberation, the possibility that all that exists can and must be totally overhauled then you my friend are singing from the enemy songsheet

[Fady Joudah @FadyJoudah]

To turn one’s worship of power into fear of persecution: old as dirt. To turn one’s worship of possession into a phobia of dispossession: a capitalist refinement. The world of horror is an open market.

‘To insist on life here risks sounding obscene, a parody of affirmation. And yet, to abandon life entirely—to let it vanish without residue—risks surrendering to the very script imposed by those who wish us to vanish.’

Some of The Left saying '2003 Iraq War march was bigger', 'Palestine demos have been bigger'. Get a fucking grip! There's 100,000 assorted reactionaries, fash, Nazis etc marching in London. Numbers game useless. Local anti-racist work and spirited anti-fascism is there. Help it!

The machine stays in power because of weeks like this, the price of catharsis is bondage and I guess that's one the average masochist is willing to pay forever.

If you think you’re a journalist and want to honor Anas Al-Sharif write an obituary that places him among the world’s foremost revolutionary souls that ever lived in times of dead language and unspeakable horror and abominable complicity with evil.

every palestinian murdered in gaza loved and was loved as much as our beloved martyr anas al sharif. this love shows me the meaning of grief, this grief saves us from despair.

[Fady Joudah @FadyJoudah]

Israel killed Anas Sharif
Just now
A martyr and a beacon for liberation
In the history of the world
رحمة الله عليك

We're also very busy over at the Poets Hardship Fund, with lots of people in need of help.

Think about buying the latest issue of Ludd Gang, guest edited by the amazing Katherine Franco. Or, set up a monthly donation to get every issue.

[OUT ELSE @OUTELSE1]

Still loads of great pamphlets up at https://t.co/nyDdOwydOy New work by dove, Christine Kirubi + Danny Hayward alongside older stuff by Maggie O'Sullivan, Roy Clare Potter, Bonnie Hancell and more.

Will the West "after Gaza" analyze the Zionist psychosis to reenact the Nazi death camps, as the "musselman" bodies pile up: is this revenge? Israel will end: the narcissism of unabated destruction destroys itself. Love persists. It pardons even hypocrites.

[tom pickard#Fightback @tompickardpoet]

Can't let the fascists and killfest fuckers stop us making art, hard though it is to think of anything other than the slaughter in Gaza. My latest chapbook https://t.co/ZPFtp2UiPj here.

[OUT ELSE @OUTELSE1]

The Poets Hardship Fund site has had a bit of a makeover - now it’s functional!

If you’re a poet and you need help get in touch.

If you believe arts not just got grifters and grant writers find a way to support us.

6 years on, still going strong.

to think you’re saving your heart-mind by turning away from gaza & the incandescent, world-structuring evil of zionist imperialism is to be digging your own grave, paying for it & smiling about it
