Today, many were shocked by yet another video of the drone “safari” Russians are carrying out against civilians in Kherson. A Russian drone deliberately hunted down a man selling vegetables and detonated right next to him. The Russians even admitted to the crime, showing zero regret and openly boasting about tormenting people. The man was wounded in the blast. Every single day, ordinary people in Kherson face these Russian "safaris."
The world must see this. It must see every piece of evidence that Russia has gone mad and that its soldiers take pleasure in killing and abusing civilians. Without pressure on Russia, the dismantling of its capacity for aggression, and real security guarantees, it is simply impossible to imagine the world being able to coexist with this evil. We must remain resolute in defending life. We must act and support life in ways that force Russia to seriously think about peace rather than expanding the range of its drones.
This is not just about Ukraine. Russia’s campaign against human life must be stopped here in Ukraine before it spreads further. Finland and Kazakhstan, the Baltic states and Poland, the countries of the South Caucasus, Romania, and Moldova—all should work together to ensure real security guarantees and bring Russia’s war to an end. Peace is needed, which requires cooperation among everyone in the world who truly values peace. Thank you to everyone standing with Ukraine!
Massive Attack has been banned from performing in Singapore after their performance at Star Theatre on July 29. During the show, they displayed a Palestinian flag onstage, and much of the crowd broke into "Free Palestine" chants. In a statement posted to Instagram on August 2, the band said the entire group was "detained by the police, isolated, and separately questioned" afterward, with some members facing hotel room searches and temporary passport confiscation.
The ban stems from Singapore's restrictions on publicly displaying foreign national emblems without a permit — rules the Ministry of Home Affairs has specifically invoked around the Israel-Palestine conflict since 2023. Massive Attack pushed back on that framing, stating they never expected that holding up the flag of "a sovereign state recognized by 157 countries" would break any law. They also said the chants weren't planned by the band, but rather audience members started them on their own. They stood behind the moment as an act of solidarity that fans "clearly felt a moral imperative" to make.
This past April, Robert Del Naja was arrested at a London protest tied to Palestine Action, and he and bandmate Grant Marshall have both supported the No Music for Genocide effort, which asks artists to block their music from streaming in Israel. The band closed their statement urging Singapore to ratify the UN's International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and signed off with, ”Free Palestine."
