There you have it. Anthropic's CEO said it: The murder of more than 100 schoolgirls in Minab targeted by Anthropic's CLAUDE "is a use case that doesn't even violate our red lines." Time to rise up against these technofeudal war criminals.

US sanctions.
Here it what you need to know.
In the clearest words I have on the matter.

The Granta controversy surrounding a Commonwealth Prize-winning story tells us less about AI than about the enduring metropolitan expectation that writing from the South should sound opaque, excessive, and primitive. https://t.co/qn169CjfLM

🚨For 4 yrs I have urged the ICC to investigate and prosecute Israeli officials for int'l crimes in Palestine. My latest report explictly names Bezalel Smotrich.
If ICC Pre-Trial Chamber issues an arrest warrant, he could be the first official charged with the crime of Apartheid.

The lack of news on Gaza isn’t because the genocide is over.

It’s because Israel slaughtered the journalists and Western media pretends there’s a ceasefire.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Israel must immediately release the activists it has kidnapped in int'l waters. Persecuting those who oppose Apartheid is part of the crime of Apartheid.

Israel won't stop bullying killing and torturing people until it is forced to:
Boycott, Divest, Protest, Activate courts now.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

So glad to see this book come to light. A powerful exposé of media complicity in manufacturing consent that has enabled mass atrocities in Palestine.

May there be accountability.

Open access to "The Palestinians: From Peasants to Revolutionaries," by my amazing mother, Rosemary Sayigh, who turned an impressive 99 this month. Published in 1979, it went thru several reprints & translations and remains a landmark book:

Every time the West calls an African country "unstable" they mean the resources stopped flowing.

I made a glossary of 100 diplomatic words they use and what they actually mean.

Despite the pressure,When the World Sleeps is about to come out in English too (US:@otherpress; UK/Australia:@HardieGrant). While it’s about Palestine, past and present, and the law in its most accessible form, it cuts through the noise and shows why truth itself is such a threat

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

BREAKING! Amid widespread bombing across Arab regions, Israel approves its largest-ever colonial expansion. Under the "fog of war'', what I warned on 14 Oct 2023 is unfolding: the largest ethnic cleansing/land grab in Palestine, since the Nakba. It’s happening. Under our watch.

Now up: In this long conversation, Mary Turfah (@maryturfah) talks with Dr. Ghassan Abu Sittah (@GhassanAbuSitt1) about health sovereignty in Palestine, the coloniality of Western NGOs, the centrality of healthcare to the genocide in Palestine, and more.

“My report shows that torture extends far beyond prison walls, in what can only be described as a torturous environment imposed by Israel across the entire occupied Palestinian territory,” @FranceskAlbs told the @UN Human Rights Council in Geneva.

I just returned from Jordan, with unprecedented clarity about what - from and through Palestine - the Israel/US axis is doing to the entire region. It pains to see what is unfolding. How come so many did not see it coming?
Greater Israel, unveiled.
