🕊 Peace activist and dear friend Aziz Abu Sarah was on CNN. He’s not active here, but worth a follow — maybe it’ll inspire him to post 😉 His voice carries hope and humanity, a light we could all use 🤍 🧵 @azizabusarah.bsky.social www.cnn.com/2025/10/08/t...

Two years since my friend @maozinon.bsky.social lost his parents when Hamas attacked Oct 7. Maoz, a Jewish Israeli, had moral clarity: He didn't want a single Palestinian civilian to die in his parents' name. Now he fights for peace & justice alongside Palestinian @azizabusarah.bsky.social.

Nonviolent resistance isn’t only about marches. it’s also about changing the narrative and shifting public perception. Media focused actions, like Gandhi’s Salt March. So if you say the Sumud flotilla is a PR stunt—you’re right. It is a PR action, meant to draw attention to the starvation in Gaza.

At a sold-out Brotherhood Synagogue in NYC yesterday, our ED, R' @mhughesrob.bsky.social, moderated an inspiring discussion with peacemakers @azizabusarah.bsky.social and @maozinon.bsky.social. Photos by @giligetz.bsky.social

Just watched Israeli President Herzog at Chatham House. Once seen as a leftist, pro-peace candidate when he led the Labor Party, he now sounds no different from Netanyahu or Ben Gvir. Yet the world still treats him as one of the “good guys.” Today, he comes across as a cheerleader for genocide.

We lose our humanity when we choose division, hate, & greed over connection & life-when we fight wars for power & false borders. The greatest existential threat isn’t a natural disaster, but us: when we choose violence, inequality, dehumanization & indifference. Let’s choose humanity and peace.

For years, US & European politicians refused to recognize a Palestinian state, empowering Netanyahu’s plan to turn the West Bank into concentration camps, displacing 3.5M Palestinians. Blame is everywhere but the real question is: how do we respond & stop this crime from happening?

The writing was always on the wall: decades of violence and deaths are unsustainable. In 2022, 182 Palestinians & 22 Israelis were killed. Conflict management & stalemate only worsen the reality. We must reject the normalization of death, & work to end the occupation & siege through a just peace.

Extremists often dictate policy, shape governments, and commit war crimes, even without being the majority. To confront them, we must be action-oriented: setting clear benchmarks, reshaping governments policies. What matters is having a vision, driving change, and pushing to make that vision real.

“There is an absolute policy of annihilation” Dr. Thaer Ahmad, talks to Drop Site News about the systematic destruction of the healthcare system in Gaza.

On one hand, the U.S. is pressuring Brazil to end the prosecution of former President Bolsonaro, while on the other, it doesn’t have an opinion about war crimes and refuses to intervene as Israel continues to starve Gaza and plans to fully occupy it.

1/4This week, Speaker Mike Johnson became the highest-ranking U.S. politician to visit and endorse Israeli settlements in the West Bank. So what exactly is the GOP leader supporting?

Don’t blame Arab and Muslim voters in Michigan if they sit out the election. If you skip a vote that matters to our community now, don’t expect support later. Saying you’ll “reassess” weapons to Israel during a genocide isn’t leadership—it’s complicity.

1. She has concerned about the starvation in Gaza—but remains silent on the killing of 20,000 children. 2. She says nothing about the use of American weapons to obliterate Gaza’s infrastructure. 3. She does not object to the targeted killings of journalists and healthcare workers.

Lololol

The father-in-law of Pulitzer Prize–winning poet @mosababutoha.bsky.social Toha has been critically wounded in Gaza. Gazan surgeon, Dr Hussam Hamoudda, treated him and writes.. “I swear I tried to help as much as I could, but his injury is very critical, my brother. My heart is with you…”

Germany says if 2-state negotiations don't begin, it'd consider recognizing Palestine. To which I'd say: Where have you been? Israel shut down 2-state diplomacy over a decade ago! www.timesofisrael.com/en-route-to-...

More than 50,000 children killed or injured, according to UNICEF, *that are known* - how many lie buried under the tons of rubble? Between 3000 to 4000 child amputees, many multiple amputees. There are more child amputees than anywhere else in the world. A child killing field.

Democrats talk about Gaza as if it were struck by a natural disaster, not by human decisions. They offer excuses, ignoring the reality of occupation and genocide. Even without hunger, over 20,000 children have been killed. What will it take for Democrats to find a spine—and a conscience?

Thank you, for the billions in bombs that fell on our homes. For the silence as children starved, their bellies swollen with your indifference. Thank you, for shielding the hands that slaughter, for calling it peace, while feeding the fire of genocide.

Pam Bondi worked for Trump. She met with Epstein’s inner circle. She was part of the DOJ when Maxwell was given a platform to "testify" in private. How do you not see a conflict of interest here? This is not justice. This is political laundering. #ExposeThemAll #ProtectTheVictims

If Hamas can still steal food across Gaza, then either Israel lied about destroying their capabilities, or lied about aid getting in. You can’t have your cake and eat it too! Trump’s right: someone’s stealing food. It’s the armed gangs Netanyahu admitted to backing and arming.

The murder of these children is on every American who stays silent while our government funds the killing of babies in Gaza. Most of Congress just voted to send more weapons to Israel,because, for arms dealers and tech firms profiting from war, 20,000 dead children isn’t enough.

Why are we reluctant to recognize Israel’s genocide in Gaza? | Kenneth Roth

In the aftermath of bombings, the Israeli army routinely fires on Palestinian rescue workers, paramedics, and other civilians to prevent them from saving the wounded, an investigation reveals. By Yuval Abraham www.972mag.com/double-tap-i...

Unprecedented and shameful action by @columbiauniversity.bsky.social. Having written new rules after the alleged violations were committed, they suspended, expelled, or revoked the degrees of ~80 students for the crime of protesting genocide in #Gaza. This is complicity with fascism, nothing less.

Oh wait !!! isn’t the U.S. sanctioning the International court for pursuing criminal charges against Netanyahu? Suddenly the U.S. cares about violations of international law? The hypocrisy of picking and choosing when international law applies is astonishing.

When people say they’re against cancel culture, they’re often not being honest. What they usually mean is they’re against being canceled themselves — but they’re more than happy to cancel anyone they disagree with.

NYT breaking news today include the following unbelievable reports about Mamdani FBI investigating Mamdani’s suspiciously high Duolingo streak Mamdani once Googled “How to be mayor?” at 3:12 a.m. Sources confirm Mamdani uses his phone flashlight to look for his phone

On Monday, Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu will meet to discuss the next steps in their plan to reshape the Middle East. Their vision includes expanding normalization, disarming adversaries, and ignoring any Palestinian aspirations for freedom. mondoweiss.net/2025/07/new-...

Establishment Democrats are setting new records, while losing on everything that actually matters.

The lives of my family and friends are a game for these war criminals! This militia killing civilians is a registered ngo in Switzerland and Delaware! Yep, a tax exempt organization that kills civilians for fun

You can always count on elites to throw democratic values under the bus

"100,000 dead: What we know about Gaza's true death toll" by Nir Hasson Gift link: www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

It's interesting because despite Hungary's much-touted Orbanist pro-family and supposedly fertility-inducing policies, such as exempting families with 3+ kids from all income taxation, the Hungarian fertility rate has plummeted right into the toilet in the last few years

The level of anti-Muslim hate from members of Congress, politicians, & officials this week is overwhelming. If you’re a Muslim American, the message couldn’t be clearer: they don’t believe you deserve the same rights as everyone else & constitutional protections simply don’t apply to Muslims.

This is aid tainted with blood. GHF is a registered non-profit in both Switzerland & Delaware, USA. So why aren’t the EU or the US holding them accountable for war crimes? This isn’t just on Israel. many countries are willingly complicit. Anyone supporting GHF is contributing to the crime!

We need to care less about how a country looks and more about what it does. I felt the same when Hamas war crimes. We need to care less about how a country looks and more about what it does. “If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.” — Desmond Tutu

“Only a fool would fight if there is a hope of accommodation” Edward Carson

War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.

We’re told that we must support our country’s wars. But that’s not patriotism, that’s obedience. True patriotism means having the courage to speak up when your country is on the wrong path. The real betrayal is silence in the face of injustice, or blind loyalty to power that leads to ruin.
