La scrittrice irlandese Sally Rooney ritirerà i suoi libri dal mercato britannico di comune accordo con l'editore Faber, a causa del suo sostegno a Palestine Action, organizzazione messa al bando nel Regno Unito in base alle leggi antiterrorismo. Rooney aveva dichiarato di voler destinare al gruppo i proventi dei suoi libri e i guadagni derivanti dagli adattamenti televisivi della BBC di 'Persone normali' e 'Parlarne tra amici'. La normativa britannica impedirebbe quindi a Faber di trasferirle legalmente tali somme
Renowned Director Ken Loach Delivers Powerful Words at Cannes on Israel's Genocide in Gaza
"The worst thing is not the violence of the bad, it is the silence of the good.
i do not care if Trump's comments result in nothing tonight. no one who even thinks of saying the phrase "a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again" should be allowed to operate an ice cream stand, nevermind the most powerful office on the planet
🚨Since the war with Iran started, the Israeli government has closed Gaza’s crossings. These crossings are the main routes for humanitarian aid to enter and the only way critically ill Palestinians can leave Gaza for treatment. Gaza doesn’t have enough food. Don’t stop talking about Gaza. 1/4
The murders of unarmed civilians on the streets of Minneapolis, including the killing today of the intensive-care nurse Alex Jeffrey Pretti, would not come as a shock to Iraqis in Fallujah or Afghans in Helmand province. They were terrorized by heavily armed American execution squads for decades. It would not come as a shock to any of the students I teach in prison. Militarized police in poor urban neighborhoods kick down doors without warrants and kill with the same impunity and lack of accountability. What the rest of us are facing now, is what Aimé Césaire called imperial boomerang. Empires, when they decay, employ the savage forms of control on those they subjugate abroad, or those demonized by the wider society in the name of law and order, on the homeland. The tyranny Athens imposed on others, Thucydides noted, it finally, with the collapse of Athenian democracy, imposed on itself. But before we became the victims of state terror, we were accomplices. Before we expressed moral outrage at the indiscriminate taking of innocent lives, we tolerated, and often celebrated, the same Gestapo tactics, as long as they were directed at those who lived in the nations we occupied or poor people of color. We sowed the wind, now we will reap the whirlwind. The machinery of terror, perfected on those we abandoned and betrayed, including the Palestinians in Gaza, is ready for us.
Quello che sta succedendo a Torino a Mohamed Shahin è gravissimo (e vorrei prendermi un po' di spazio per descriverlo da chi qui vive, lontano dalla cronaca spicciola). Un uomo di pace e di dialogo, così è descritto da quanti lo conoscono, l’imam della moschea di via Saluzzo⬇️
Israele ha bombardato ieri sera il più grande campo di profughi palestinesi in Libano, quello di Ain al-Hilweh, vicino a Sidone. Le autorità locali riferiscono di 13 persone uccise @ultimoranet
I (and I cannot stress this enough) do not and will never care about any billionaire’s feelings at any given time. Not even once. Not ever. You own the world and still have tantrums? Groundbreaking. Vent to the Titanic she loves company
Massacro in Sudan, l'OMS riferisce che le Rapid Support Forces hanno ucciso oltre 460 persone in un ospedale di Al Fashir. I miliziani di etnia araba, finanziati dagli Emirati Arabi Uniti, continuano a compiere stragi in tutta la città prendendo di mira la popolazione nera non araba. Molte famiglie si sono rifugiate nelle trincee, vari corpi sono stati abbandonati per strada e diversi bambini sono stati uccisi sotto gli occhi dei genitori @ultimoranet
For the amount of people who’ve died in Sudan (millions), the world’s response has genuinely been disgustingly pathetic. This is a death toll we see in history books and are aghast that no one did anything. We’re living through a pathetic and miserable history chapter.
