The genocide seems unstoppable,
Necrocapitalism seems invincible- but they are not!

All we need is UNITY. COORDINATION. PERSEVERANCE.

Keep Protesting. Striking. Boycotting. Litigating.

Not just once.
All the times needed till the Apartheid ends and the system which fed it too.

[Ounka @OunkaOnX]

Francesca Albanese just exposed the ugly truth: The New York Times ignored Palestinian rape testimonies for over a year.

She gave them a lengthy interview in February 2024. Nothing followed.

UNRWA detailed torture and sexual abuse. Nothing.

B'Tselem. Physicians for Human Rights. The UN Committee Against Torture-which concluded torture is Israeli state policy. The UN Commission -which called it systematic, widespread, and an act of genocide.

All ignored.

But now the NYT finally publishes? Suddenly it's a scandal

The rape didn't start when the NYT noticed. The silence just became harder to maintain

[Dyylas @DylanDyylas]

a lot harder to brainwash people when everyone has access to all the footage and news of you slaughtering innocent children like animals you rotten fuck

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

🧵on 'NYT rift'
1/22
A NYT article on sexual abuse against Palestinians -accurate but barely scratching the surface- is triggering hysteria in the Israeli govt not bcs of the facts, but bcs of the audience.
Apartheid Israel fears NYT readers will finally see and no longer ignore.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

78 years ago, 800,000 Palestinians were expelled from their homes. Britain made it possible.

Today, Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. Britain made it possible.

78 years of the Nakba - and 78 years of British complicity in crimes against the Palestinian people.

[Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz]

Hilarious that they're trying to revive the debate about whether Israel is guilty of genocide. The debate is over, guys. It's been over for a long time. Every relevant human rights group says it's genocide. Zero comparable human rights groups say it's not. The end. You lose.

[Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz]

Basically every Israel-Palestine debate goes like this:

"Israel did X."

"Yeah, because the Palestinians did Y."

"Yeah, because Israel did Z."

"Yeah but only because the Arabs did A."

But if you bring the debate back far enough in time, eventually you get to the part where the western world forcibly dropped a brand new ethnostate on top of a pre-existing civilization without the permission of — and to the extreme detriment of — the people who were already living there.

Sure you can go further back and say "Oh yeah well the Jews lived there thousands of years ago," but that's just silly. There's no valid reason to believe some Jewish guy in New York City even has any meaningful lineage connecting him to that land more strongly than any random Muslim in Turkey or wherever, and even if there was, it would still be absurd to cite ancient history as the basis for a territorial claim. I'm only a few generations removed from my ancestry in Ireland and Scotland, but it would be ridiculous for me to show up demanding the home of someone who lives there.

So the original source for the grievance is clearly the artificial creation of an ethnonationalist state in the mid-20th century, and the push by Zionists and western imperialists to make it happen.

And how has that decision worked out? You see the results before you. Generations of nonstop violence and abuse, culminating in the slaughter and chaos throughout the middle east today.

This means that creating Israel was a mistake. A mistake that needs to be corrected.

Zionists will collapse into a shrieking pile of vitriol and hyperbole when you say this, claiming you're calling for the extermination of Jews, but this is false. Certainly ending a national order premised on putting the interests of Jews before Palestinians and righting the wrongs of the past would inconvenience a lot of the Jewish people who've been living there, but there's no basis for the claim that it would entail their deaths. Apartheid South Africa was dismantled without the extermination of millions of white people, and there's no reason to believe the dismantling of apartheid Israel would entail the extermination of Jews.

The Israel experiment has been tried, and it has failed. It is time to try something else.

[Pedro Sánchez @sanchezcastejon]

Israel vuelve a violar la legalidad internacional al asaltar una flotilla civil en aguas que no le pertenecen.

Nuestro Gobierno está haciendo todo lo necesario para proteger y asistir a los españoles retenidos.

Pero con eso no basta. La UE tiene que suspender el acuerdo de asociación YA y exigir a Netanyahu que cumpla la ley de nuestros mares.

[James Tate @JamesTate121]

Our daughter, Rachel Corrie, was killed in 2003 in Gaza, while trying to protect a Palestinian home facing illegal destruction by the Israeli military. She was 23 years old. The massive, armored Caterpillar D-9 bulldozer that crushed her was operated by two Israeli soldiers and manufactured in the United States. It was the same type of militarized bulldozer that US presidents from George W. Bush through to Donald Trump have delivered to Israel.
Today, as the destruction of Palestinian homes has only become more commonplace, not to mention the horror of Israel’s genocide, Senator Bernie Sanders will force a vote in the Senate to try to end this cycle of death by banning the transfer of D-9 bulldozers to Israel. We hope he will not take this stand alone.
No policy can bring back those taken from us by these actions—children and other loved ones. But the Senate now has an opportunity to honor the memories of our daughter, other Americans, and thousands of Palestinian civilians killed, and to show that their deaths, and all the destruction, will no longer be condoned and funded. We hope those elected to represent us, the American people, understand the message that voting to block these D-9 bulldozers will send. This will not be a symbolic gesture, but a concrete step toward the protection of human life.

“To preserve the values of the civilized world, it is necessary to set fire to a library. To blow up a mosque. To incinerate olive trees. To dress up in the lingerie of women who fled and then take pictures. To level universities. To loot jewellery, art, banks, food. To arrest children for picking vegetables. To shoot children for throwing stones. To parade the captured in their underwear. To break a man’s teeth and shove a toilet brush in his mouth. To let combat dogs loose on a man with Down syndrome and then leave him to die. Otherwise, the uncivilized world might win.”
- Omar El Akkad (2025)

The Bondi attack was so horrifying and I really just wish that people felt that same sense of horror about, say, Israel bombing a wedding in Gaza. If they did, this ‘war’ would have been over two days after it started.

Hey Jimmy, this is among the least contested genocides in all of history. Who pressured you to lie? What kind of leverage did they exert over you?

If telcos are already blocking SMS with links, why are Malaysians still receiving scam SMS pretending to be banks, govt agencies, and courier companies? Here’s why. https://t.co/cpslP1I5BG

Ms. Rachel schools Barack Obama on the fact that yes, Palestinians have families too. Weird that a youtuber like Ms. Rachel has more of a moral compass than any Democrat or Republican - not one elected official comes close.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

This is NOT the first genocide that happens under "our" watch. It is the first genocide that WE, The People, can and will stop.
Against all odds and adversities.

[Leyla Hamed @leylahamed]

Manchester City manager and football legend Pep Guardiola has spoken out in solidarity with Palestine, calling on people to flood the streets of Barcelona tomorrow to protest against the genocide.

Jerry wanted you to hear this from him.

We built Ben & Jerrys to stand for peace and love. It was needed then and it’s needed more than ever now. Which is why @MagnumGlobal must #FreeBenAndJerrys

The Freedom Flotilla sailing to Gaza 🇵🇸

Over 50 boats from 44 countries, across 6 continents

To feed Gaza; break an illegal 18yr 🇮🇱 siege, to expose genocide

Mainstream media & western ‘leaders’ ignore them

So shout their message:

Free Palestine 🇵🇸

"If you’re seeing a high number of gunshot wounds to the chest area and the head, that’s not collateral damage — that’s deliberate targeting."

[Howard Beckett @BeckettUnite]

The Freedom Flotilla has over 50 boats, from 44 countries, spanning 6 continents

The largest in history:

To break an illegal 18 year Israeli 🇮🇱 siege on Gaza 🇵🇸
To feed children
To stop genocide

And western media is not covering

And western ‘leaders’ are silent.
