"My name is Matt Nelson and I'm about to engage in an extreme act of protest. We are all culpable in the ongoing genocide in Gaza.... We are slaves to capitalism and the military industrial complex. Most of us are too apathetic to care. The protest I'm about to engage in is a call to our government to stop suppling Israel with the money and weapons it uses to imprison and murder innocent Palestinians, to pressure Israel to end the genocide in Gaza, and to support the ICC indictment of Benjamin Netanyahu and other members of the Israeli government.... A democracy is supposed to serve the will of the people, not the interests of the wealthy. Take the power back. Free Palestine."
There's no better example of how completely our government is totally controlled by major corporations than the fact that there isn't a single politician in either party who's trying to build a national profile by going after Boeing.
This was done with zero warning. @columbiasjp was unable to appeal the decision. I talked to several Columbia students. @meta is preventing students from making backup accounts about Palestine. Perfect example of the Palestine Exception.
If you support the Palestinians, please stop using the 40,000 death toll figure. The Lancet's "conservative estimate" was 186,000 and that was about a month ago.
Oh. My. God.
“I worked in the Gaza Strip as a humanitarian healthcare worker and learned more about being a doctor and humanity than you or this institution [@uOttawaMed] could ever teach me.”
⚡️The "negotiation" in Qatar are between the Americans and Israel, with Qatar and Egypt sitting as witnesses.
Hamas is not present in Qatar, and Hamas said :
We already agreed on Biden's proposal on July 2nd, there's nothing to discuss except Israel's signature.
So these "negotiations" and the talk about "progress being made" means that Americans are backing down from their July 2nd deal and caving in to Netanyahu's demands, but Hamas is not concerned with this theatre, they're sticking to the July 2nd deal.
The "progress" and "positive atmosphere" and "filling the gaps" is between the USA and Israel.
A total scam.
Swap “Israeli” for “Russian” and imagine how astronomically outraged Americans would be at this news if they weren’t so busy deepthroating genocide apologia.
The fact that a senior civil servant who specialised in assessing arms exports to Israel has ended his 18-year career because he thinks the Foreign Office "may be complicit in war crimes", and not a single national outlet has reported it, is frightening. We have a captive media.
the quote retweets calling this “anti-Black” as if Kamala wouldn’t be a Black president blowing Black & non-Black people to smithereens in the Global South is honestly crazy, like do you not all hear yourselves?
