Journalist Anas al-Sharif won’t be around to announce the ceasefire as he did the last time,
because Israel assassinated him along with more than 260 other journalists.
A Turkish activist described shocking abuse against climate campaigner Greta Thunberg during Israel’s raid on the Global Sumud Flotilla. “They dragged little Greta by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” Ersin Celik, a flotilla participant, told Anadolu Agency.
A plane carrying 137 activists from the flotilla, including 36 Turkish citizens, landed in Istanbul today. The group was welcomed by families, journalists, and supporters after their ordeal at sea. The activists had joined the mission to break the blockade on Gaza and deliver aid, before Israeli forces intercepted their ships.
This is the crew of the #GlobalSumudFlotilla boat from Greece, the Mikeno, that entered territorial waters and sailed closest to #Gaza. The man laughing in the background of the photo is Turkish captain of the Mikeno, Muhammad Kuchuktigin. The Mikeno kept switching their radar on and off since 3 am Gaza time last night evading interception and capture from around 60 nautical miles from Gaza's shore. A complete show of bravery and determination!!!!
AirBnB is the reason the rent is so damn high in so many cities where apartments that families used to live in were turned into AirBnb short term rentals and yet the CEO is blaming immigrants for everything wrong with this country. Disgusting.

Israel kidnapped her from Jenin in the occupied West Bank.

She was 50 years old.
Before my nephew Ahmed sat next to his mother's grave, he asked me where her head was. I told him its location, but he came back to ask me again why we put this concrete over her. "Is it because you don't want me to see her?" He sat and began digging with his hands towards her head. Every moment, I wiped away my tears so he wouldn't see me crying. I asked him, "Why are you digging?" He replied, "I want to see her and tell her to come back. I want to kiss her."
I write with my eyes filled with tears, just like when the conversation between Ahmed and me took place. I wish I had died before this; I wish I had never been born to experience all this pain.
Mohammed El Kurd with such clarity explains the lack of critical thinking and indignity that comes with supporting Kamala, and while this focuses on her rise as a memeable character on the internet, it’s also applies to satisfaction derived solely from her being a Black woman.
Israel committed 4 massacres within 20 minutes today against Palestinians in Gaza. Bisan is arguing that Israel's new strategy consists of launching several massacres at once so at least one evades media attention.
