Pianist, accordionist, composer and arranger from Rio, who played with such icons as Hermeto Pascoal, Maria Bethânia, Itiberê Zwarg, Anat Cohen and many others.
Hamas abducted 240 or so hostages on October 7th. Since then, Israel has kidnapped over 8000 Palestinians and sent them, without charges, to a concentration prison in the Negev desert. Even Israeli doctors are describing the horrors and the tortures in that remote place. Aren’t these hostages as well? -R
The focus on the 100+ Israeli hostages in Gaza is not matched by the focus on many thousands of Palestinian hostages abducted into Israeli jails without charges or trials. Many of them are children and women.
Israeli state terror is widening the Palestinian holocaust. Half a million people are either dead or on the verge of starvation. A larger number sick and injured. Tell your Representatives in the House to stop the $14 billion genocide weapons bill to Israel. 202-224-3121. -R
Da mesma forma que eu disse quando estava preso que eu não aceitaria acordo para sair da cadeia e que eu não trocaria a minha liberdade pela minha dignidade, eu digo: não troco a minha dignidade pela falsidade. Eu sou favorável à criação do Estado Palestino livre e soberano. Que possa esse Estado Palestino viver em harmonia com o Estado de Israel. O que o governo de Estado de Israel está fazendo não é guerra, é genocídio. Crianças e mulheres estão sendo assassinadas. Não tentem interpretar a entrevista que eu dei. Leiam a entrevista e parem de me julgar a partir da fala do primeiro-ministro de Israel.
'Hitler e Mussolini pacificarão o continente europeu unido à Nova Ordem". Essa era a manchete do "Diário de Notícias" publicada em 4 de junho de 1941. O "Diário de Notícias" era um dos muitos veículos pertencentes à rede Diários Associados - o maior conglomerado de mídia do Brasil, de propriedade do empresário liberal Assis Chateaubriand.
Lembrando que em 1941, a maior parte da legislação antissemita da Alemanha nazista já estava em vigor, já ocorriam massacres de judeus e já era de conhecimento público que judeus estavam realocados à força nos guetos. A grande imprensa simplesmente negava, ignorava ou relativizava isso tudo. Da mesma forma que faz hoje com o genocídio na Faixa de Gaza.

This is Dr. mohammad El-Ron, a prominent surgeon from my city, Beit Lahia in north Gaza.
Dr. El-Ron was at the Indonesian Hospital when the soldiers broke into it before attacking and kidnapping most doctors and nurses and patients.
Today, after months of torture and humiliation, Dr. El-Ron was released.
I just want to say that in the past 24 hours, more than 200 people got killed in Gaza. This is as big as a number of students attending a seminar at Harvard or Yale or Oxford or Princeton, or,,,,,,. Jusy imagine a number of your students in a class as big as that are killed every day? These could be your students, your colleagues, your neighbors, your YOU.
This happens every day.
I just want to say that I wanted to say that.
The U.S. conflicts in the Middle East keep escalating. What are our soldiers doing at a remote post in Jordan—with 35 more U.S. military installations in the backyards of these countries—that the American people are required to fund without their knowledge? This is Empire.
But rational hope springs eternal:
- South Africa's sublime delegation at the ICJ
- The foreign doctors who volunteered on a suicide mission to serve in Gaza’s inferno
- The Gazan journalists who dared Fate by reporting the Truth as Israeli snipers methodically shot them dead
Haaretz daily which so many liberals love - demonizing the UN in Gaza. The text in Hebrew reads, “poor guy asked for a ride to kibbutz Be’eri.”
The intent is to link UN efforts in Gaza to Palestinian attacks on Israel.
Israeli media is promoting and supporting genocide!
Following the ICJ ruling that there was a risk of genocide in Gaza, I asked the government minister if all British military aid to Israel had been suspended.
He refused to answer.
To fight back against the Israeli genocide in Palestine and U.S. and European complicity in it, please donate to UNRWA and encourage others to do the same. I have just done so. Only the solidarity of decent people will defeat this horror. #DonateToUnrwa
