fucked up.

[Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz]

Israel always does this, and it's so gross. Normal people get a ceasefire agreement and think "Good, this means we can finally stop fighting." Israel gets a ceasefire agreement and goes, "This means we have to hurry up and kill as many people as possible before it takes effect."

[Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz]

People who say you get more conservative as you get older are just projecting their own personal shittiness onto everyone else. I get more radicalized by the year. It's not even about older people having more wealth to protect; I'm making more than ever before and I still want to obliterate capitalism. You get more conservative and right wing as you get older if you fail to grow as you age. It just means you've been wasting your time on this planet and allowing yourself to become intellectually lazy and morally stagnant.

At pick-up today a quiet mum I’ve seen a lot thanked me for wearing my Palestine pin and keffiyeh. I told her I’d long stopped caring what anyone thought and she told me quietly she’s Palestinian and all her family are in Gaza and she’s too scared to wear her own.

Wear yours.

🚨 London Protest for Palestine
⏰ Saturday 19 October, 2-4PM
📍 Trafalgar Square, London

Israel is intensifying its genocidal violence in Gaza, bombing Palestinians in hospitals, schools and refugee camps and burning those sheltering alive.

Meanwhile our government refuses to take action to #StopArmingIsrael.

If you live in London please join the protest for Palestine this Saturday as part of the Day of Action to demand our government institute a 2-way arms embargo on Israel.

This is beyond grotesque. The photograph is of Palestinian civilian tents burning with people inside, the victim in the headline is Israel. A truly putrid & degraded media.

this is the guy everyone saw burn and melt alive on a hospital bed with an IV attached to him. remember these people are more than just numbers. they had a life, a family, dreams just like us.

[Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz]

And there it is. They're finally admitting it. This is all this has ever been about. Not hostages. Not ending Hamas. Not self defense. Not mass rapes. Not beheaded babies or babies placed in ovens. This has always been about taking land from the indigenous people of Palestine.

As a kid, I wondered how Germans allow the Holocaust to happen. In the past year I have heard why:

“I am too busy”
“I don’t want to lose my job”
“Both sides are bad”
“Protesting won’t do anything”
“It’s not my issue to speak about”
“I don’t want to lose my friends”

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

Children, connected to IVs, burned alive at a hospital targeted by Israeli missiles.

Western media outlets spent this year dehumanising Palestinians and whitewashing Israeli crimes.

Without them this depravity would be impossible. They must pay.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

If the sight of human beings burning alive won’t stop the UK government supplying arms to Israel, what will?

You, reading this tweet thinking this is nothing to do with you because you don’t commit violence and you’re sure you’ve got no internalised misogyny.

All of it’s connected, you just don’t understand how.

A law I helped create was the reason Giselle’s husband was caught. It exposed the stomach churning abuse of his wife.

I have received hundreds of messages over the last 48hrs about it.

Here’s how I feel: 🧵

[Jason Chuang Art @art_chuang]

4 police officers from @metpoliceuk knocked on my door yesterday, covered the peephole so I couldn’t see, forced their way into my flat and accused me of rape - just because I have a “similar name” as the suspect & Im Chinese.

The @univofstandrews has disgracefully dismissed its elected Rector, Stella Maris, after she called for an immediate ceasefire and an end to the genocide and apartheid Israel continues to carry out. Take action today and sign the petition: https://t.co/Cj0lCzICSF

BAN ISRAEL FROM THE OLYMPICS

[Léonie Flower @flowerleonie]

FIFA is days away from deciding whether or not to ban Israel, just like it banned Russia, South Africa, and Yugoslavia in the past

Tell FIFA: ban Israel now
