Sha'ban Al-Dalou,19, as a software engineering freshman, Sep 2023, at Al-Azhar University of Gaza.

Israel destroyed his home and his university and immolated him yesterday at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital after forcibly displacing him earlier last year.

alle 2 wochen gibt es bilder aus gaza bei denen ich mir denke das wäre im normalfall jetzt der moment der wirklich groß medial skandalisiert wird und das gesellschaftliche umdenken kommt. und dann guck ich zur tagesschau und da ist das verbrechen bereits gerechtfertigt worden

Tech companies may be facilitating serious violations of international law, including genocide, amid the ongoing war in Gaza.

📢NEW CAMPAIGN: RACISM ON TRIAL📢

The criminal legal system is systemically racist and violent. Every year, German courts fine, jail, and sentence to probation hundreds of thousands of people – a system which disproportionately affects racialized and migrantized people. 🧵🧵

"migrants, Muslims, trans people have been blamed for people not being able to access council housing, not being able to get NHS appointments... rather than saying this is the result of political decisions... people have scapegoated minorities"

Well said @zarahsultana #GMB

[Anandi Ramamurthy @Anandimanc]

This is a what happens when the political establishment stokes islamaphobia and racism. No choice but for us all to mobilise and organise against such racist violence.

🚨The Bibby Stockholm will close in 2025.

From hunger strikes and bus blockades to legal challenges, our resistance is powerful.

We won't stop until everyone can live in a safe, decent home—not in military barracks or detention hotels, but in community.

Solidarity with Documenta Artist Hamja Ahsan by other #Documenta15 Artists from around the world. Today was the trial. Awaiting verdict. The trial is one small part of the picture. The battle for anti-racism, truth and narrative is still present tense https://t.co/rno1eqnIHr

[Deborah Coles @DebatINQUEST]

Prisons don’t work. The evidence is all there. Rather than expanding the criminal justice system invest in communities and decimated social, health and community support - education, housing, jobs, youth clubs, refuges, mental health, addictions.

[Climate & Community Institute @cplusci]

BREAKING: New research from our team shows that the costs of rebuilding what has been destroyed in Gaza will generate 60 million tons of CO2-- more than the carbon costs generated by 135 countries. More than 99% of this is due to Israel's bombardment.

[Emran Feroz @Emran_Feroz]

According to Herta Müller, who once won the Nobel Prize for Literature, all of Gaza is a "military barracks" and a "deep state of Jew hatred". Yes, she just published this with Germany's conservative FAZ. In June 2024 while the whole world sees what's happening in Gaza.

[Black-Jewish Alliance ✊🏿✡ @BlackJewishA]

We're excited to announce the four teach-ins we will be hosting this Friday, at the German Embassy.

Palestinian, Jewish, Black & German speakers will be helping us understand Germany's historic and live legacy of genocide.
