This looks incredibly fake. A lot of people have been predicting that they will start using AI slop to confuse the masses. Very odd how he is dressed exactly as he was when he was killed a week later.

"Mona Ki Ngi Xica" by Bonga — live in Angola, 1978.

A father’s farewell turned anthem of resistance and hope, from one of Angola’s most iconic voices.

Increasingly things are happening that are literally impossible to describe without sounding antisemitic

This👇🏽 is why the intersection of class can never be ignored when talking about racialized identities.

Many elite privileged Muslims are *more* upset today than yesterday.
Not because Muslims are in significantly more danger today than yesterday.
Not because more will be killed under a Republican administration than have been under previous Democratic ones.
Not because Trump will genocide Palestinians any more than Biden did.
But because THEY just lost access.
Their proximity to whiteness and power just shrunk a little.
They lost a seat at “the table”.
The same table that discussed how they can send bombs to murder Muslims, but with a DEI lens. 👌🏽

A bitter pill to swallow, I know, but your “Americanness” mattered just as little yesterday as it will tomorrow.

And your American “voice” carried just as little weight yesterday as it will tomorrow.

We were not in “normal times” before the election either.

I guess our normals are as different as our red lines.

always thought Netanyahu’s US connection was going to high school and college there but I just looked it up and his mother was the child of Lithuanian immigrants to the US (who later went to Palestine). His maternal grandfather he’s named after is buried in Minnesota

They are so real for doing this! They know the Western media has blocked out South Africa’s argument completely in the media and they’re trying to use their platform to highlight the argument made by South Africa’s team.

Exactly two months ago, children in Gaza held a press conference in english to beg the world to stop the bombardment. More than 12,000 children have been killed since then. No one listened.

I call it the Macbeth Syndrome, that you can’t peacefully enjoy the privilege of your own position because you consciously and unconsciously know the violence it took to exact it. You are always haunted by the possibility that what you’ve done to others will be done to you.

"I’m personally a Holocaust survivor as an infant, I barely survived. My grandparents were killed in Aushwitz and most of my extended family were killed. I became a Zionist; this dream of the Jewish people resurrected in their historical homeland and the barbed wire of Aushwitz being replaced by the boundaries of a Jewish state with a powerful army…and then I found out that it wasn’t exactly like that, that in order to make this Jewish dream a reality we had to visit a nightmare on the local population.

There’s no way you could have ever created a Jewish state without oppressing and expelling the local population. Jewish Israeli historians have shown without a doubt that the expulsion of Palestinians was persistent, pervasive, cruel, murderous and with deliberate intent - that’s what’s called the 'Nakba' in Arabic; the 'disaster' or the 'catastrophe'. There’s a law that you cannot deny the Holocaust, but in Israel you’re not allowed to mention the Nakba, even though it’s at the very basis of the foundation of Israel.

I visited the Occupied Territories (West Bank) during the first intifada. I cried every day for two weeks at what I saw; the brutality of the occupation, the petty harassment, the murderousness of it, the cutting down of Palestinian olive groves, the denial of water rights, the humiliations...and this went on, and now it’s much worse than it was then.

It’s the longest ethnic cleansing operation in the 20th and 21st century. I could land in Tel Aviv tomorrow and demand citizenship but my Palestinian friend in Vancouver, who was born in Jerusalem, can’t even visit!

So then you have these miserable people packed into this, horrible…people call it an 'outdoor prison', which is what it is. You don’t have to support Hamas policies to stand up for Palestinian rights, that’s a complete falsity. You think the worse thing you can say about Hamas, multiply it by a thousand times, and it still will not meet the Israeli repression and killing and dispossession of Palestinians.

And 'anybody who criticises Israel is an anti-Semite' is simply an egregious attempt to intimidate good non-Jews who are willing to stand up for what is true."

For the next 4 days, @haymarketbooks is offering ~*free*~ ebook versions of titles that explore Palestine’s history & struggle for justice on their website. I’m seeing a lot of misinformation, false statements, and inflammatory language around what’s going on right now. READ.
