This is a Republican Congresswoman.

If she spoke like this about Jewish Americans, she would right be regarded as a loud-and-proud Nazi.

Islamophobia is spiralling out of control in the US.

[Craig Mokhiber @CraigMokhiber]

The accelerated genocide in Palestine has now been live-streamed for 1000 days. The time for inaction, debate, and equivocation is long over. No one can claim ignorance at this stage. No one who has not taken some action to stop this can claim moral absolution. No complicit individual, politician, media company, tech or arms corporation, store carrying Israeli products, or Israel regime proxy group can be allowed to escape accountability. This globalized genocide must be denormalized. Every perpetrator and regime supporter must be publicly exposed, and must face full social ostracization and political, economic, and legal accountability. Genocide must be made a redline and this must end.

The UN couldn't print the names of Palestinian children murdered and maimed by Israel.

Why?

Because they feared Israel would respond by killing and maiming the families of the children.

[Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz]

Some guy broke into my house and set up residence in the study room. He says his grandparents used to live in this house and now he won't leave.

My family and I tried to kick him out but he got very violent. He brings in his friends and they help beat us up if we ever try to make him leave.

They keep saying I hate the guy because of his religion. I don't even care about his religion, I just don't like sharing my house with some random outsider who broke in here out of nowhere and took my stuff.

"The poor guy just wants one room to call his own," his friends say in his defense. "You and your family have all the surrounding rooms in the house, and yet you have a problem with the guy having sovereignty over ONE room? That's kind of bigoted and evil."

He keeps throwing stuff at me and my family if we get too close to his door, saying we make him feel afraid. His friends say it's understandable because his room is surrounded by enemies who hate him just for existing, but we don't hate him for existing, we hate him because he forcibly inserted himself into our home and keeps throwing stuff at us.

And what's weird is whenever I explain my situation to normal people they completely understand where I'm coming from and agree the guy is being a dick, but if I talk to the police or the local paper they always side with the guy. Almost everyone in town hates this guy now because of how he's been acting, but everyone in power does everything they can to protect him. It's like there's a total disconnect between the authorities and the will of the public on this particular issue.

It's having a nastier and nastier effect on the community at large all across town. The police have been showing up to arrest anyone who says they think the guy's being an asshole. The paper keeps printing these obnoxious lies telling everyone that me and my family are the real criminals and the guy is actually sweet and awesome. It's really unfair.

Things have been so tense and hostile ever since this guy showed up. I honestly think it would be better if he'd never moved in here at all, but whenever I say that his friends claim I'm saying the guy should be exterminated and try to get me in trouble.

It's a real mess, man.

That guy sucks.

The Israelization of our societies is already happening: posturing democracies where human rights can be suspended for people that those in power consider a disturbance.
Wake up Brits. Italians. Germans. French. North Americans. Dutch.

J’ai déposé plainte pour atteinte à la vie privée et abus d'autorité après l'exploitation de données de géolocalisation de mon téléphone par la police.

Ignorance is not an incurable condition. Reading informed sources helps.

Whomever wishes to grasp what inspired the notion of the ''Israelisation of our societies'':

Maximum alert on the Flotilla!

Israel has been given license to threaten, kidnap and shoot at civilians ALSO in int'l waters!

Welcome to Apartheid without Borders - soon to be Apartheid Mediterranean Consortium.

Shame on the EU, its main enabler in this part of the world.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Among the reasons most EU states and EU institutions are quiet about Israel's daily slaughter of civilians in the region, is that they do not care: Lebanese, Palestinian, Iranian lives are disposable, their loss negligible.
And this is so wrong.
Immoral.
Illegal.
Irresponsible.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

It was frightening. It was early morning, still dark.
We were thrown out of bed by loud crowds of people. They had poured into Jerusalem from the West Bank and were marching across Palestinian neighborhoods.
Settlers.
Shouting.
Chanting.
"Death to the Arabs".

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

When the US sanctioned me for exposing corporate complicity, I trusted people would act. If after nearly a year @bookingcom & @Airbnb still profit from stolen Palestinian property, it’s because too many still use them.

Stop using them now & tell them why.

Israël est l’ennemi de la démocratie, de la liberté de la presse, de la liberté d’expression.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Onward and upward, Presidente Sánchez, toward a decolonised multilateralism. I trust millions of Europeans today are behind you and your government today.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

#WhenTheWorldSleeps
Palestine stands as the moral compass of our time.
Exposing Apartheid and its crimes, their root causes and implications, is necessary to ensure the world "wake up" and work together to overcome it.
Together we can and we will.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

As the world looks elsewhere, Israel continues to exterminate Palestinians in Gaza. Days in days out. Shame on complicit western media and all complicit governments.

[Rima Hassan @RimaHas]

L’Union européenne menace donc de sanctionner Israël en raison de l’importation de blé volé sur le territoire ukrainien, alors même que l’UE importe des produits provenant de terres confisquées aux Palestiniens depuis des décennies.

L’hypocrisie européenne n’a pas de limites.

Israel killed every single person in this photo in Lebanon.

Every. Single. One.

All journalists.

Targeted and assassinated intentionally.

For reporting the truth from the frontlines.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

- Shame Within Borders -

Maintaining trade in times of genocide means valuing goods over humans. Markets over life.
This is not policy: it is a system. A clash of values.

It is either equality, freedom, solidarity. Or it is their contrary.
Please choose.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Stop Trading with Apartheid.
Stop Normalising Genocide.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

I have seen enough to say it with absolute certainty: the Israeli army is the most depraved army.
