"The truth alone will make the people free. And for this reason the truth must not be permitted to reach the people. The truth has always been dangerous to the rule of the rogue, the exploiter, the robber." Eugene Debs

What if, listening to this painful call, ALL those who say they care for Palestine, started to pay attention to:
-grocery/pharmaceuticals they buy
-insurance companies they use
-their banks
-their pension funds
-their work or research partners..
And chose an #ApartheidFree life
🚨MAJOR BREAKING: Epstein survivors just announced they will release their own list of names.
“We know who abused us. We saw who came and went. This list will be survivor-led—for survivors.”
The government stalled.
Now the victims are doing it themselves.
🚨 BREAKING:
American actor Joaquin Phoenix on Gaza:
"There is no justification for starving children to death... You don't need to understand geopolitics or anything like that to understand it."
IMPORTANT.
A CNN journalist witnessed Israeli settlers abduct and blindfold a Palestinian farmer for refusing to leave his land, as IDF soldiers stood guard.
He was later shot, while the IDF blocked the road to prevent anyone from coming to his aid, making sure he would die.
Netanyahu 🇮🇱 threats to Spain 🇪🇸:
‘They 🇪🇸 defame the IDF’
‘They 🇪🇸 wage a diplomatic war against 🇮🇱’
‘It will not be tolerated’
‘They 🇪🇸 will pay an immediate price’
It’s there for all to see
Stand with Spain 🇪🇸
Expel 🇮🇱 from the UN now.
700 tons of explosives.
Israel detonated 700 tons of explosives beneath Beaufort Castle in South Lebanon, in the middle of the night.
A 900-year-old Crusader castle that UNESCO just listed as endangered heritage.
This man is proposing to do with the sum total of published human knowledge what capitalism does with everything: steal it and then build enclosures around it for profit.
Sanchez is correct in refusing to allow the US to use joint military bases to carry out their war crimes against the people of Iran. He demonstrates real spine here, and models leadership to the rest of Europe.
He is also correct to reject increased spending on NATO, which only enriches US military contractors, increases US power, and deepens European dependency. NATO spending does *not* help the people of Europe, it helps the US military industrial complex.
But he should go further. Spain, and all other sane European governments, should shut down the US military bases altogether, and withdraw from NATO.
NATO is not a "defense" alliance. It is a platform for the projection of US imperial power into Asia and Africa. This is fundamentally *not* in the interests of the European people, not in the interests of the rest of the world, and should not be tolerated.
We warned you: the wholesale destruction of Gaza was not an exception, it was a blueprint to crush anyone who opposes the plutocratic imperialism embodied by US/Israel and their global allies.
Act now: defend int'l law from lawlessness, before the rupture becomes irreversible.
108 girls between aged 8 and 12 have been murdered in an elementary school by Israel and the US in this UNPROVOKED war on the sovereign nation of Iran. Utterly despicable.
YouTube has removed the original video for Bruce Cockburn's 1984 anti-war classic "If I Had A Rocket Launcher." YT claims it violated "policy on violent or graphic content." Cockburn wrote the song after visiting a Guatemalan refugee camp.
With little hope of the genocide in Gaza subsiding, dock workers in major Italian port cities have organized strikes and large demonstrations to halt arms shipments to Israel. These actions are a direct response to the refusal of international institutions and governments around the world to confront the carnage. Though the genocide continues, the dockworkers’ industrial disruption offer us a model of resistance. Will the Italian way spread to the imperial core — and can it end the genocide?
Our documentary, Resistance 101: Forging a New Movement for Palestine In Italy, premieres on The Chris Hedges YouTube channel tomorrow morning. We will have a Livestream Q&A to discuss the film and its subject matter at 3pm ET.
Depois do silêncio perante o crime, os cínicos líderes europeus alinharam numa deturpação para matar a mensageira. Mas nada limpará a sua cumplicidade com o genocídio. Ficarão na história pela sua cobardia.
