Israel is the only country in the world that can bomb 9 countries and invade 3 neighboring countries in one year; kill 100,000 people—including 25,000 children—in 1,000 days; displace nearly 6 million people in 3 countries; starve 2 million people in Gaza; violate Geneva and Vienna Conventions, international law, human rights, and state sovereignty; kidnap, rape and torture children and women; shoot, imprison and murdering; and still be perceived as the victim.

The Global Sumud Flotilla is en route to Gaza once again. This time it’s bigger than ever, with over 70 boats and 1,000 participants from across the world all attempting to break Israel’s blockade and deliver lifesaving aid ⛵️🇵🇸

Today, Palestinians commemorate the 50th anniversary of Land Day. A day of resistance against Israel’s colonization, land theft, dispossession, displacement, and ongoing Nakba.

Land is central to our collective identity, being, and survival as a nation. The land that we nourished with our hands for centuries holds the memories of our ancestors, the sorrows of our elders, and the future of our children.

Everyday is a Land Day in Palestine.

“My report shows that torture extends far beyond prison walls, in what can only be described as a torturous environment imposed by Israel across the entire occupied Palestinian territory,” @FranceskAlbs told the @UN Human Rights Council in Geneva.

Le monde s'émeut devant le singe «Punch» qui serre une peluche, tout en ignorant la souffrance de milliers d'enfants #orphelins à #Gaza, dont toute la famille a été assassinée par Israël.

L'empathie sélective est une honte.

🇫🇷🇸🇩 FLASH | La banque BNP Paribas a été reconnue COMPLICE des viols, meurtres ou des tortures après avoir financé le régime du dictateur Omar Al-Bachir, au Soudan. Les contrats commerciaux de la banque au Soudan finançaient l’armée et ses milices : 18 millions € devraient être versés, mais BNP Paribas a fait appel. Elle risque des dizaines d’autres procès.

President Petro, your words cut through the fog of propaganda and lay bare the anatomy of empire.

Colombia’s agony is not an accident.

It is a business model perfected in Washington, then exported across the hemisphere.

The "War on Drugs" was never about drugs.

It was about turning every border into a checkpoint, every government into a client, and every insurgency into a market for easy money and cheap blood.

The world remembers the CIA planes in Laos.

It remembers Burma’s warlords, Indonesia’s massacres, and the transformation of revolutionaries into smugglers, all so the machinery of profit and control could keep grinding.

What happened in Colombia was not unique. It was empire’s signature, signed in cocaine and inked in violence.

What they call "democracy" is a ledger, and what they call "law" is just a weapon wielded by those who own the police and the press.

The real "failed state" is the one that wages war on its own people in the name of order, and outsources the rest to a mafia with a flag.

Your warning is clear:

Cocaine is not a Colombian curse.

It is an imperial currency, a pretext for endless militarization, a license to intervene and extract.

The devastation of Latin America was not the unintended consequence of anti-drug policy.

It was the goal.

This is why missiles fall on fishermen and farmers in the Caribbean, just as bombs fall on hospitals in Gaza, both justified as "security" by a dying order desperate to control what it can no longer inspire.

You name the real catastrophe:

When profit is the only principle and control the only strategy, even life itself becomes collateral damage.

But history is moving.

The "backyard" is finding its voice.

The South is rising, from Hanoi to Bogotá.

And every time the empire tries to crush that memory, it only makes the roots grow deeper.

You are right, President:

It is not drugs, nor oil, nor even revolution that frightens empire most.

It is solidarity, the moment when the colonized begin to see each other, and refuse to be divided.
