It’s so fucking nice to be a part of something that not only doesn’t screw artists over, but proactively tries to change the game for the benefit of all. #lvdls now on @means_tv
Introducing: La Voz De Los Silenciados
A magical-neo-realist, silent film that takes us inside the mind of Olga—a deaf teenager brought from Latin America to New York City, under the false promise of attending a “Christian Sign Language School”.

@DropSiteNews@bradlander what’s so difficult about admitting you were wrong, asking for forgiveness through action, by actually divesting from Elbit and all the other bloodlust, and making it a point to speak more forcefully about these grave mistakes. Seems like the least you could do.
@HopeStreetChap @barnymcbarnbarn @SocialistMMA This is precisely the opposite of what the Palestinian One Democratic State initiative is calling for. Get to know some Palestinians and you’ll find that they are the antithesis to Zionism. They aren’t bloodthirsty. They don’t want to put a boot on anyone’s neck based on identity
Recent developments within the settler colony show signs of its disintegration between what Israeli officials called "tribes", one favoring "state" logic and the other "militia" logic. We have discussed this in previous tweets of ours.
We will also be holding public discussions about this via Zoom, in Arabic on Wednesday, August 14, at 7 PM Gaza time, and in English on Sunday, August 18, at 8 PM Gaza time. We look forward to e-seeing you there!

@daoudkuttab@jkuttab Partitions (bantustans) don’t work. Always an unjust attempt at a non-solution. A single secular democratic state of Palestine where any form of supremacy is completely barred and where egalitarianism is enshrined into all aspects of society is the only way forward.
"Demonstrations influence policies, but they don't make them. If you're not willing to play politics, you can complain all you like—to make a real difference, today's activists need to become the senators, ministers, presidents of the future."
The One Democratic State Initiative fully supports Ilan's call for political organization. Our political networking teams are in contact with political movements that support the transition from Zionism to democracy in Palestine throughout the world. We call on you to join us (https://t.co/BL0BUM736c) and/or to contact us regarding such local political organizations.

As Israel loses in the court of public opinion, we see desperate attempts to widen the conflict. All with the blessing and material support of the #ButcherBiden, a US President who claims Irish descent. Keep our country out of your mouth, @JoeBiden. Your ancestors disown you.
Doctor: Pray for his mercy, he's passed
Mother: No... no! My beloved, my life, my heart, why? I swear I don't have anyone but him
A mother waited 15 years before she was able to have her only child, the occupation has taken his life in an instance.
If we understand that the ICJ is a colonial tool, we know that it will not #EndIsraelsGenocide.
When this happens, and people feel discouraged, let us remind them we never relied on the ICJ. That our hope comes from our political engagement, not imperial institutions.
If we understand that the ICJ is a colonial tool, we know that it will not #EndIsraelsGenocide.
We can still benefit from the proceedings by using the media coverage to bring attention to Israel's nature as a settler colonial entity.
Justice is a universal value.
"Universal courts" are human courts, subject to the balance of power between the imperial forces that established them.
To #EndIsraelsGenocide, we need justice.
The concept of international tribunals was only proposed and implemented when colonial powers attacked other colonial powers. This points to its true purpose: Protecting the colonizers from each other rather than protecting the world from the colonizers.
#EndIsraelsGenocide
Institutions like the ICJ were set up by colonial powers. Their purpose certainly isn't to contain these powers themselves. We are the ones who must #EndIsraelsGenocide.
