İsrail’in Gazze’de kullandığı soykırım silahlarının üretildiği yazılım sistemlerini çökertmek için “operasyon çeken” 5 aktivist Almanya’da yargılanıyor.

Gizli kahramanlar ve insanlığın yüzakı güzel insanlar onlar.

▪️Hastalarımızın %70-80'i çocuk ve hamile kadınlar.
▪️9 aylık hamile, başı kesilmiş bir kadını doğurttum.
▪️Lütfen bu terör ve dehşeti durdurun.

Sally Rooney has spoken out once more against Israel's genocide and the criminalisation of protest in the UK.

The author said that just as Israel has inherited its tactics from British and European colonialism, governments in the UK and Germany are copying Israel in how they increasingly outlaw dissent.

Rooney spoke at the event alongside Matt Kennard, Tadhg Hickey and Abubaker Abed.

A few weeks ago we broke news Thales and the Australian gov are making explosives for the IDF. I assume you've noticed mainstream press hasn't followed this up? Anyway, I'm sure it has nothing to do with anything, but Thales is a sponsor of the National Press Club.

Movements don't grow by accident. They grow because people choose to be part of them.

Becoming an APAN member is one of the most powerful ways to strengthen the movement for Palestinian rights in Australia.

As a Palestinian Human Rights Lawyer, Diana Buttu reminds us that the struggle for justice needs all of us.
Join us. Stand with Palestine. Help build the pressure needed for change.

US Sanctions? Hear the case, then decide for yourself.
You may disagree with my words, my findings, or my work as a UN independent expert altogether. That is legitimate.
But using sanctions against me for fulfilling a mandate is not debate about opinions: it is an abuse of power.

Israel’s genocide has been funded by many people who bought Israeli bonds underwritten by major global banks. Barclays and BNP have stopped that: good.

Now waiting for @GoldmanSachs, @BankofAmerica, @Citi, @DeutscheBank and @jpmorgan to do the same.

A Must Read. Mike Gilligan on just how much of a scam the AUKUS lemon is cc @AlboMP @RichardMarlesMP and why it is an unprecedented disgrace and betrayal of the people of Australia. The PM should take this opportunity to WITHDRAW. The Public Enquiry will be excoriating. You dont give away public money in this way.
‘The Virginia class submarine is not a general-purpose vessel such as our Collins class. It is designed for supreme acoustic invisibility for a specific purpose – to find, track and attack submarines seen as a nuclear threat to the US mainland. That is the job which the US expects Australia’s submarines to do – effectively embedded into US military command – against China’s growing capacity to annihilate continental US from under the sea, anytime.
Why this role is of utmost priority for the US requires some explanation. Nuclear armed submarines, such as China possesses, present a uniquely difficult threat to the US homeland. Unlike the readily discernible launch locations of hostile land-based missiles, or from aircraft or sea-surface vessels, the submarine’s habitat and mobility make it largely invisible and impregnable across the vast ocean approaches to the US.
The US attempts to deal with this risk using specialised attack submarines (ie the Virginia), which can locate, track and destroy China’s nuclear submarines as they move into and around Pacific waters. This is one critical part of a mosaic of US self-protection measures, the effectiveness of which is eroding as China’s submarine production expands.
So, the hefty sacrifice which Australia’s taxpayers make to acquire new submarines is not for Australia’s benefit, but for defending continental US. Australia’s submarine needs are quite specialised and different, but simply ignored by Minister Marles…
the evidence is incontrovertible this government has forsaken independence in protecting Australia. And deceives its people on how it lets the United States controls our priorities to its own benefit, damaging our own defence capacity. The implications of such betrayal are profound.’
We are just vassals to a fading hegemon who wants to be able to keep goading our biggest trading partner because its economic growth presents a threat to the US lording it over the world. FFS time to grow up and stop supporting a bully.

May it be 'a lightning rod moment'.
In the past 2years+ the State of Israel has institutionalised the 'right to torture' Palestinians and by extension (it seems) those who defend them. BenGvir is the public face of an entire system that deserves to be investigated/prosecuted.

Absolute bombshell. Prominent Australian activist Juliet Lamont exposes the terrifying reality of Zionist detention.

She confirms Israeli forces systematically tortured activists, detailing horrific sexual assaults and beatings. MSM is actively hiding these war crimes.

[Trita Parsi @tparsi]

Tara moved to Israel five years ago from Texas.

Her message to the Palestinians living in Palestine is simple: 'Leave or we will kill you!'

Perhaps this conflict isn't that complicated after all...

[Global Sumud Flotilla @gbsumudflotilla]

RED ALERT!

Military vessels are currently intercepting our fleet and IOF forces are boarding the first of our boats in broad daylight.

We demand safe passage for our legal, non-violent humanitarian mission. Governments must act now to stop these illegal acts or piracy meant to maintain israel’s genocidal siege on Gaza. Normalization of the occupation’s violence is a threat to us all.

WITNESS IS PROTECTION.
PRESSURE YOUR GOVERNMENTS

I'm hearing that 12 Australians attempting to deliver lifesaving aid to Gaza may be attacked by the Israeli military in next 48 hours. The Aust Govt should be standing with them & human rights, not Israel. Delivering aid is not a crime. Blocking aid is. Email your local MP now.
