Colonialism, genocide, capitalism & extractivism work hand in hand. Behind all the ahistorical fictional rhetoric about religious rights & “civilization” there will be economic greed that sees everything in a piece of land, including humans, as resources to be exploited.

Time to turn up the volume on what’s happening in Gaza & on the Israeli genocide of Palestinians waiting to get aid during the “12 day war” btwn Iran & the Israeli regime. Listen & share this episode w/ Yara Hawari & Safa Joudeh that I had the pleasure of editing podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/u...

"En Gaza, hace casi dos años que no hay electricidad estable. Allí, el apagón es total: de la luz, del agua potable, de los medicamentos, de la ayuda humanitaria. Y a esa oscuridad se suma una violencia constante". Mi último artículo de opinión en @eldiario.es👇 www.eldiario.es/opinion/trib...

“When we are crafting a design strategy, we have to ask ourselves: how much of that is about their survival? Is that sufficient? How much of this do we foresee helping a future free Gaza or free Palestine? And how much of this is actually just normalizing colonization & occupation?” - Dena Qaddumi

One of the most informative & timely episodes we worked on. We keep hearing about reconstruction plans & initiatives but how much do we really know about them & their feasibility as the #gazagenocide continues w/ complete impunity. Abed’s analysis was food for thought

The tactics ICE is using--thugs in plain clothes kidnapping people simply for their political views--these tactics were developed by the US and spread across the world to hunt down Leftists from Latin America to Indonesia. They've also been used locally for decades to terrorize Black communities.

For me, it’s the normalization of absurdity. Trump was a joke less than a decade ago but his politics are now the norm and he is feared instead of ridiculed. I am afraid everything an emboldened Trump does now will also become the norm, including his fantasies about Gaza, the region & the world.

“Roll over and play dead.” He actually wrote that. Lol

When I see these this type of news it really weighs on me that those in the shadows of power will hold on to the status quo so tight before they let revolution liberate the millions. Our region has some serious rot that can no longer be cured. The whole tree needs to come down.

In this commentary, Al-Shabaka Board President Tareq Baconi reflects on over 12 months of genocide in Gaza, discusses its ramifications, highlights the façade of the international rules-based order, & centers the power of the global majority al-shabaka.org/commentaries...

In this policy lab, Halah Ahmad and Andrew Kadi join host Tariq Kenney-Shawa to discuss what the incoming Trump Administration will mean for Palestinians, how it will affect the pro-Palestine solidarity movement in the US, and how to prepare for it al-shabaka.org/policy-labs/...

Donald Trump's suggestion of ethnically cleansing the Gaza Strip lays bare the "long-term American project" in the Middle East, says Palestinian writer Mohammed El-Kurd. https://www.democracynow.org/2025/2/11/mohammed_el_kurd_palestine_perfect_victims

My colleague @yarahawari.bsky.social never misses a chance to call out and educate mainstream media on how not to dehumanize Palestinians. That’s why we need more Palestinian voices to speak on Palestine in media.

"I think it's really important that we get our language right. This isn't a forced movement. It is ethnic cleansing." - Yara Hawari (@yarahawari.bsky.social) in a must-watch interview with CNN

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asked U.S. Secretary of Commerce nominee Howard Lutnick during their meeting in Washington on Friday to give Israel a waiver that would exempt it from proposed regulatory controls on advanced AI chips, two sources with knowledge of the issue said.

We – Mahmoud and Ahmad's friends and colleagues in the UK – are in touch with the family. We have no further news. This is an entirely inexcusable and illegitimate act

In this second episode of a 3-part series between Al-Shabaka & @mondoweiss.net Diana Buttu & Yumna Patel discuss the challenges facing the #Gazaceasefire in the context of the Trump admin & its support for Israeli genocide & ethnic cleansing in Gaza & Palestine al-shabaka.org/podcast/trum...

Israel isn’t a state. It’s a killing machine. Without death and destruction the whole premise of that militarized society would collapse. Take away its power to inflict death and destruction, only then you’ll see a free Palestine.

I was interviewed alongside Palestinian scholars in the west bank, Gaza, and the US about where Palestinians go from here www.nytimes.com/2025/02/08/o...

Israeli forces is raiding houses of those who were released today in the West Bank. Palestinian prisoners are being released from colonial regime’s prison cells into bigger prisons in occupied towns and cities. There is no freedom under occupation. It’s subjection whether in a cell or in at home.

So many of the Gaza released prisoners are talking of beatings & they refer to it as “their punishment”. A prisoner just said “I still can’t breathe properly bc of their beatings here, on my chest, their punishment with the backs of their rifles” Israeli society is so sick.

and you can have a state in Poland

“Now, as fears emerge Trump’s administration is ‘dangerously’ undermining the U.S. dollar, Musk has confirmed he wants to put the U.S. Treasury on a blockchain, the technology that underpins bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies—including Musk’s pet project dogecoin.” www.forbes.com/sites/digita...

The Palestinian Prisoners Club says “every time prisoners are released, we find the prisoners’ bodies reflecting the level of crimes committed against them, including torture that is unprecedented in its level after October 7”. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/i1n6gb

This is amazing and I hope The Hague Groupe keeps growing. A global south-led initiative for global south liberation 👏
