Israel’s genocide has been funded by many people who bought Israeli bonds underwritten by major global banks. Barclays and BNP have stopped that: good.
Now waiting for @GoldmanSachs, @BankofAmerica, @Citi, @DeutscheBank and @jpmorgan to do the same.

BREAKING: "Greater Israel" is now marketed in London. Like in Montreal and in New York.
Apartheid without borders.
P.S. This explains why criticism of Israel is being restricted (and "anti-antisemitism" laws keep appearing). Apartheid is not only a crime. It is a business model.
While the usual minions spread new falsehoods about fellow UN experts and me, here is what Israel and its supporters want absolutely you not to see. The body of evidence.
Warning: highly disturbing content.

Prisoners refusing to seek legal counsel, medical assistance or to appear before a judge - out of fear of being beaten and raped by their jailers. Again.

Crazy that this is getting barely any coverage. This year’s European Press Prize was just awarded to an investigative report by the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant. It is entitled “What the Wounds Tell” and in it the journalists Maud Effting and Willem Feenstra document the cases of 114 children in Gaza under the age of 15 who were struck by a single bullet to the head or chest. Almost all of them died or were left severely disabled. They chose to document only the cases of boys and girls under the age of 15 (though often much younger: aged 3, 4 or 7) because these are children who can be immediately identified as such. “A single bullet in these parts of the body is a clear indication that these children were deliberately targeted“, the two journalists write.

Thank you President 🇸🇮.
Palestine is the moral compass of our time.
From Spain to Slovenia there is hope for Europe. A Europe that puts people above banks and markets, rights above profits, and respects int'l law regardless of political calculus.
The absolute funniest part of capitalist ideology is that they somehow managed to convince everyone that “freedom” means the freedom to choose between 50 brands of cereal, rather than the freedom to quit a job you hate without losing your health insurance.
Comparto este video que lanzaron ayer Silvio Rodríguez y Chico Buarque; los fondos que se recaben serán donados a la Sala de Pediatría del Instituto de Oncología de Cuba, así que si queréis verlo, darle like y compartirlo con otras personas, es un pequeño grano de arena para aliviar la difícil situación en que se encuentran.
El vídeo es precioso y presenta esa Habana tan digna como empobrecida.

🇪🇸SPAIN'S IRENE MONTERO GOES OFF ON EU VICE-PRESIDENT KALLAS: “Israel has been for 24 hours Kidnapping European Citizens And You’re SMILING?!”
“What would you do if it were Iran? If it were Russia?
But since it is ISRAEL, you smile and look the other way.”
“Shame on you”
Quienes consideran que ondear la bandera de un Estado es “incitar al odio”, o han perdido el juicio o han sido cegados por su propia ignominia.
Lamine solo ha expresado la solidaridad por Palestina que sentimos millones de españoles. Otro motivo más para estar orgullosos de él.
"The idea that the poor should have leisure has always been shocking to the rich. In the early nineteenth century, fifteen hours was the ordinary day's work for a man; children sometimes did as much, and very commonly did twelve hours a day. When meddlesome busybodies suggested that perhaps these hours were rather long, they were told that work kept adults from drink and children from mischief.
When I was a child, shortly after urban working men had acquired the vote, certain public holidays were established by law, to the great indignation of the upper classes. I remember hearing an old Duchess say: 'What do the poor want with holidays? They ought to work.' People nowadays are less frank, but the sentiment persists, and is the source of much of our economic confusion."
— Bertrand Russell
The slavery apologists said: but we fed them. Housed them. Gave them religion. Brought them from savagery into contact with civilization.
The colonial apologists said: but we built railways. Hospitals. Legal systems. Brought order to chaos. Raised the standard of living. Gave them modernity.
The contemporary apologists say: but we give aid. Promote democracy. Protect human rights. Stabilize fragile states. The world would be more violent without our presence.
The structure is identical across five hundred years.
The framing is always:
We gave. We brought. We raised. We provided.
The passive voice is always assigned to the other person.
They received. They were brought. They were raised. They were provided for.
Never:
They had. They built. They governed. They decided.
They were capable, before and without you, of existing as full human beings with the right to determine their own conditions.
That sentence.
That is the sentence that colonial ideology, in all its iterations, cannot say.
Because once you say it, once you actually believe it, not as a liberal sentiment but as a foundational reality, the entire justification structure collapses.
And all that's left is what it always was.
Taking.
Just taking.
From people who had every right to what you took.
Teresa Regina de Ávila e Silva, Thiago's mother, passed away in Brasília.
We express our deepest condolences to Teresa's family and loved ones.
She was 63 years old, a woman of remarkable joy and great strength. She faced years of serious illness with courage, serenity, and dignity, driven by an unwavering will to live and surrounded by the unconditional dedication of her family. Thiago's two-year-old daughter carries her name.
Rest in peace, mãecaco. Your story lives on in our struggle.
It is an abomination that Apartheid Israel, while continuing its genocide undisturbed, is allowed to patrol European waters, seize boats, kidnap people.
Hostage taking is a crime. Palestinian and @gsflotilla hostages must be released now.
European countries:
BREAK

SIEGE
