More than 500 activists set out from Bosnia and Herzegovina, aboard 17 buses and dozens of vehicles on a humanitarian convoy to the border of Palestine.
The convoy is calling for international attention to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the West Bank. The convoy has now reached Turkey.
To those who battle to stop trade with colonies but not Israel as a whole:
A government whose main (often only) purpose is to grab land, kill arrest & torture its residents, and build colonies - makes the whole State responsible for int'l crimes.
Cut trade with Israel now.
you see this red splotch covering Gaza? it is made of red dots, each single dot represents an airstrike under the Biden’s administration. it took two years of tremendous relentless unforgiving bombing and 4 US vetos to complete. you can’t regret your way out of this.
39 years ago today, Palestinian artist Naji Al-Ali was assassinated by Mossad in London.
Naji was born in 1938 in the Palestinian village of Al-Shajara, between Tiberias and Nazareth and one of the more than 531 towns and villages destroyed by jews during the Nakba.
At the age of 10, he was expelled from his homeland to Lebanon in 1948.
Naji used to say that little Handala—his most famous cartoon— was a symbol of the Palestinian people and, more personally, of his stolen childhood and aborted youth.
“They tell little children to turn their backs, but I don’t turn. The boy is the age I was when I left Palestine, and he will not grow up until I return.”
“Handala was born ten years old, and he will always remain ten years old. At that age, I left my homeland. When he returns, Handala will still be ten, and only then will he begin to grow older. The laws of nature do not apply to him. He is an exception because the loss of one’s homeland is an exception. Things will become normal again when the homeland returns.” - Naji Al-Ali
Rest in power hero.
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but it’s illegal for landlords to:
- Lock you out or evict you without a court order.
- Shut off your heat, hot water, electricity, or other essential services to force you out of your home.
- Retaliate against you for reporting unsafe conditions or exercising your tenant rights.
- Leave serious health and safety hazards, like mold, unrepaired.
- Discriminate against you because of your race, disability, or other protected characteristics.
Mamdani’s latest video misses the bigger point.
The crimes he describes are not the work of one man alone. They are the product of an entire state apparatus. Netanyahu is its figurehead, not its sole architect.
So this cannot begin and end with whether the federal government arrests Netanyahu.
As mayor, Mamdani still has a duty to ensure New York City is not facilitating, subsidizing, or legitimizing the institutions carrying out those crimes. I’ve already laid out several concrete actions he can take as mayor, and I’m linking that article below.
If Netanyahu is truly “not welcome” here, then neither should the machinery that enables his government’s policies be welcomed, financed, or normalized by this city.
The question isn’t just whether Mamdani can arrest Netanyahu.
It’s whether he’ll use every power he does have.

@Keir_Starmer The test of any Prime Minister is not just what they leave behind at home (where repression of the anti-genocide activism will be an indelible stain). It is also whether they can answer for what they enabled abroad.
After 1,000 days of genocide in Palestine, may this happen soon.
