The Director of the UN's New York office just resigned after thirty years at the organisation over the UN's handling of the ongoing genocide of Palestinians.
The entirety of his resignation letter is a necessary read but this first page blew me away.
Si vous lisez l’anglais, sachez que Versobooks vous permet de télécharger gratuitement 6 livres sur la Palestine. C’est leur manière de soutenir.
Est-ce que des maisons d’édition françaises pourraient faire pareil ? Au moins 2 livres ? On en a besoin.

No, actually it's simple:
- Israel is a Western settler-colonialist project founded on the mass ethnic cleansing of indigenous Palestinians.
- US imperialism uses Israel as a military outpost in resource-rich West Asia.
- Israel has illegally occupied Palestinian land for decades and will never allow Palestinians to create a state of their own.
- Palestinians living under Israeli control are subjected to a brutal apartheid regime, as even Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch now admit.
- Another 6 million Palestinians are registered as refugees with the UN, and Israel denies them their legal right to return to their homeland.
- Palestinians have a right under international law to armed resistance against Israeli colonialism, as stated clearly in UN General Assembly resolution 35/35, among others.
- Israel's government has become increasingly far-right, racist, and eliminationist, and current members of the ruling coalition include literal fascist parties who want to commit genocide against Palestinians. That's what they are trying to do now, while hoping to once again ethnically cleanse the Palestinians who survive, forcing them out of Gaza into Egypt.
- The majority of the world, including almost all of the Global South (with a few exceptions), supports the Palestinian national-liberation struggle. Israel is supported by the United States and its proxies. But Washington uses its veto in the UN Security Council to prevent any international action against Israel's constant crimes against humanity.

Ou bien on peut commencer à considérer que ces femmes, ces hommes, ces enfants… ont des visages, des noms et des histoires.

Israël-Palestine : la France doit avoir le courage de la paix et exiger le cessez-le-feu
Nous autres, insoumis, n'aurons pas à rougir devant l'Histoire !
Ce serait contradictoire de soutenir la Palestine en tant que féministes et LGBT? Mais le premier oppresseur des femmes et des LGBT en Palestine c'est l'État colonial d'Israël ! De quels droits des femmes et LGBT peut-on parler quand Tsahal veut exterminer TOUS les palestiniens ?
Alter killing a 17 yo, a policeman has amassed nearly a million through @gofundme rewarding his appalling act. This fund, initiated by the far-right, will fuel and empower racist organizations. Will @gofundme endorse such a perilous movement?
