Here are his words on Gaza: "I am both astonished and outraged by the fact that those who represent the descendants of a people who were persecuted for centuries for religious or racial reasons... That the descendants of this people who are today the decision-makers of the State of Israel, that they could not only colonize an entire people, partly drive them out of their land and seek to expel them for good... But also, after the massacre of October 7, engaged in a real massive slaughter on the populations of Gaza and continue, incessantly, hitting civilians, women, and children.
And to see the silence of the world, the silence of the United States, protectors of Israel, the silence of the Arab states, the silence of the European states who claim to be defenders of culture, humanity, human rights.
I think we are living through a horrible tragedy because we are also powerless in the face of this thing that is unleashing. At least, I say: bear witness! The only thing that remains if we cannot resist concretely is to testify. Let's resist in our minds, let's not be fooled, let's not forget, let's have the courage to face things head-on."
This is what 40,000 child slaves look like while working in the cobalt mines of Congo. You don't need to upgrade your cellphone every year, maybe you shouldn't buy that electric car you were thinking about buying and vapes aren't good for our health anyway
Green Party Korea received a letter from Israel embassy, asking the party to remove their joint banner that shows support to Palestine, ‘from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free’.
The party says, well, then you (Israel) must stop the genocide first.
fresh beat, fresh manicure, in a hotel, a ring light set up while you film yourself peddling propaganda about how you’re scared for your life with perfect angle, while Palestinians are filming surrounded by bodies, their children’s body parts in bags, under rubble and that’s when they can actually access the internet, you people are actually INSANE and sick
This is really tough to watch and to swallow. There is no remorse here. They laugh as they discuss the people they killed, the young girls they raped. It’s horrific.
This documentary was done by an Israeli filmmaker Alon Schwarz. It’s called “Tantura”.
This boy and his family are staying at a hospital in Gaza because they've been displaced. He wants to become a journalist. Every day he's been bringing tea for journalists working nearby. When asked why he says "because you guys get tired"
This is Rachel Corrie.
An American peace activist who in 2003, stood in front of a Israeli Bulldozer trying to prevent the demolition of a Palestinian family’s home.
Israeli soldiers crushed her with it.
What about this American Biden?
There is still no justice to her name.
Soon, the last sliver of electricity and connection will be exhausted. If I die, remember that I, we, were individuals, humans, we had names, dreams, and achievements, and our only fault was that we were just classified as inferior.
