⚠️The Egyptian Relief Committee in Gaza had been organizing public screenings of World Cup matches for displaced families across the Strip. About an hour before today’s Egypt-Argentina match, Israel killed the committee’s public relations director in a strike on his vehicle. Two others, including a child, were also killed.

Communists who have faith in the inevitability of a classless society shouldn’t be mocking anyone for believing in heaven

[Iran in Ghana @IRAN_GHANA]

Dearest Black Stars,
Every embassy in Accra is neutral tonight.
Except one.
There are other ways we could qualify tonight.
We could wait for Algeria. We could hope Congo slips.
But we'd rather owe it to you.
Beat Croatia. 🇬🇭

[Mohammed El-Kurd @m7mdkurd]

So we write our books and make our films knowing that anything we say—seriously or in jest, even anything we imply— can and will be used against us in the courts of law and public opinion.

We talk to each other as if the sniper is standing over our shoulder.

And I understand the impulse to self-censor. I know that as Palestinians our notoriety precedes us; we are guilty until proven otherwise and otherwise is often impossible.

I know that I probably do not resemble myself in most people’s imaginations. But there are vast universes outside of the sniper’s gaze; worlds beyond the colonizer’s field of vision.

What matters more than how we will be viewed by our enemies or our allies is how we view one another and what we inspire in one another. Is it self-respect or self-reproach?

To be irreverent at the podium is to remind yourself that you are part of a collective, a scrutinized people whose psychic and affective allowances are shrinking endlessly; the working classes, the exhausted, the under-resourced, those who do not have access to Ivy Leagues or a knack for double-speak.

And in that performance of irreverence, you enmesh yourself in their complexities, you make room for them in the public discourse, no matter how they articulate themselves, and you reassign the blame from the victim to the perpetrator.

Otherwise, we would be punching down—we would save ourselves and ascend in our careers by throwing others under the bus. For one to be described as genteel, someone else needs to be viewed as savage.

Demonstrations in the German capital Berlin in rejection of the law approving the execution of Palestinian prisoners.

Israel is explicitly warning Christian and Druze residents in southern Lebanon not to hide Muslim residents among them as their forces advance.

Not a peep from Sheryl Sandberg.

[Omar Sakr @omarsakrpoet]

Just to clarify, since some don’t seem to understand: 1) This death sentence will be delivered by military courts, there’s no jury, no representation 2) These military courts try Palestinian children 3) A child who throws a stone can be deemed a “terrorist” and now put to death.

Lebanese medics are adopting strategies as they know they are targets:

— Not seeing family or friends so that if they are bombed, they don’t take their loved ones with them

— Reducing team sizes

— Sleeping in ambulances far away from each other so a single strike doesn’t kill them all

An artwork honoring the martyr Rachel Corrie by the late Palestinian folk artist Abdul Hay Mosallam.
They sought to kill Rachel twice by stripping her stance of its political context so the true story would perish. But Gaza will endure, and the memory will remain, my comrade .

[kev joon @never_oppressed]

Over 3.2 million Iranians displaced in the last two weeks. Over 800,000 Lebanese displaced in the last two weeks. Over 2 million Palestinians displaced in Gaza and the West Bank since October 7th. All in the service of one country and its genocidal, neocolonial project.

[Writers Against the War on Gaza @wawog_now]

"No words can adequately capture the evil I have witnessed or experienced at their hands. I do not have sufficient language to describe what they have done to us; what Gaza smells like, feels or looks like up close now. But it is the kind of knowledge that alters one's life and makes you understand that the very least one can do is to speak truth to power, to have the courage of one's convictions, to exercise the privilege of having a voice, however muted or shadow-banned it might be, to speak forcefully for those who are defenseless against hateful colonial state violence. That is all the power I have, and I will continue to use it so long as I breathe."
