.@WorldBank efforts to privatize land in Africa undermine scaling-up of #agroecology on the continent & pave the way for more land grabbing.”

There are countless horrific videos on Twitter right now of the Syrian terrorist government brutally torturing and executing Alawites meanwhile corporate media is just smearing them as “Assad loyalists”

What I find unforgivable r not so much the actions of the right but positions of the so-called “thought leaders” of the left who, while decrying the Heritage Foundation decided to buy into the nonsense peddled as “research” by the Foundation regarding Trans people Now where r we?

The genocidal urge is an addiction.

All eyes on the West Bank. Israeli settlers are on the rampage torching vehicles & homes in two towns east of Qalqilia and threatening Palestinians throughout the West Bank in revenge for the release of prisoners. The Israeli army has imposed an internal blockade shutting down movement as the pogroms spread south to the Bethlehem area.

Journalist @MaxBlumenthal confronts Secretary of State Blinken during his farewell address to the State Department press corps:
“Why did you allow the Holocaust of our time to happen? How does it feel to have your legacy be genocide?”

Blumenthal also called out spokesperson Matt Miller:
“You too, Matt. You smirked through the whole thing. Every day. You smirked through a genocide.”

Canadian health workers returning from Gaza call out the Canadian government for its 'complicity' in the genocide in Gaza.

"Israel has killed over 18,000 children. Every university destroyed. Most hospitals destroyed... We unanimously agree: Israel is committing genocide. "

Finally! The ICC issued arrest warrants against Gallant & Netanyahu for war crimes & crimes against humanity. The 120 countries that are signatories to the Rome Statute must ensure that justice is served. This is a significant & historical development in response to Israel’s genocide. Let’s hope there are more to follow.

It isn’t just displacement; it’s a brutal, deliberate, vicious, unrelenting daily slaughter of whole families, & the targeting of health workers, first responders, journalists & all means of survival.
Israel’s genocide in Gaza is being intensified in the north with no accountability or curbs, only support & rewards.

I'm absolutely devastated to hear that Grayzone reporter and occasional Unlimited Hangout contributor Jeremy Loffredo has been unjustly imprisoned by the Netanyahu regime for his brave journalism. Please join me in calling for Jeremy's immediate release.

[Hanan Ashrawi @DrHananAshrawi]

Israel’s carnage & destruction of Gaza, particularly the escalation in the north, are the implementation of its ethnic cleansing & annexation plan being carried out with the utmost cruelty & deliberation. Do not become desensitised to genocide.

“October 7th wasn't a holocaust. However, I would say that what's happening in Gaza. resembles the Holocaust that I lived.” - Holocaust survivor Marione Ingram. https://t.co/dV1TTyo5Eq

[Hanan Ashrawi @DrHananAshrawi]

It’s been one year of eternity. There are no words for the vicious depravity & gratuitous cruelty that the Israeli occupation exercises on the Palestinian people, blowing up their homes, hospitals, schools, universities, infrastructure, & families while shattering their dreams & hopes for a future. Inflicting the same on Lebanon is compounding its genocidal criminality. This monstrous death machine must be stopped.

Netanyahu has no business at the United Nations. He belongs in the Hague.

We need to arrest that bastard.
