With @michaelbarenboim.bsky.social and @christinebinzel.bsky.social, I’ve written an open letter to @zdfde.bsky.social. Their statement on the killing of a Palestinian media worker in Gaza is dehumanising and unethical. Our demands: 🔗 drive.google.com/file/d/10KK_...

Open letter by @hannakienzler.bsky.social @christinebinzel.bsky.social and myself addressed to @zdfde.bsky.social with regards to their appalling and dehumanising statement from 27.10.2025 (presseportal.zdf.de/pressemittei...) drive.google.com/file/d/10KK_...

Pay attention to what is happening in the West Bank. As soon as people will defend their dignity and human rights more forcefully, Israel will unleash the content of its genocide playbook with full force. This can be expected. No one should be surprised.

Israel is annexing the West Bank. What are we doing about it? Watching on? Demonstrating without impact? Writing letters that we know won't be read or responded to?

Protest police violence!! “Germany must support, not suppress, actions aiming to stop atrocity crimes and genocide. (...) No circumstances can justify unnecessary and excessive police violence or unjust criminalisation for exercising fundamental freedoms.” www.ohchr.org/en/press-rel...

Don't ask your Palestinian colleagues if they are relieved or happy that there is a 'ceasefire' in place in Gaza. 1) There is no ceasefire as Israel keeps killing Palestinians, 2) the entirety of Gaza is destroyed with thousands of people missing and under the rubble, ...1/4🧵

Read this by Dr Samah Jabr: "I want to reaffirm that mental health cannot be separated from political freedom. Healing will only flourish when the locks and cages are dismantled, and when Palestinians are allowed to live with dignity on their own land." www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/how-...

How is it possible that you still refuse to acknowledge the many Palestinian hostages who were also released? Their families feel the same relief when holding them in their arms. Have you considered that some of these prisoners with family in Gaza may have no one to hold them?

Someone needs to press charges against the German police for their brutality against pro-Palestine protesters - and anyone daring to protest leftist causes. Germans also need to finally taking to the streets against this police violence. It’s terrifying.

Israeli forces open fire during raid in occupied West Bank, one injured - https://www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/live-blog-update/israeli-forces-open-fire-during-raid-occupied-west-bank-one-injured

A ceasefire doesn’t end genocide. Israel keeps killing Palestinians at the “acceptable” level — the one that never sparked outrage — while occupation and apartheid grind on without international media coverage.

The future belongs to the Palestinian people. 🇵🇸❤️

You NEED to watch this! DANKE @michaelbarenboim.bsky.social @jukhatib.bsky.social und alle Anderen! youtu.be/5udxn1GApGU

Trump's proposal represents cruel colonial rule, which fails to address Israel's illegal occupation and apartheid, fails to recognise Palestinians' right to self-determination, and fails to put Palestinians into the driver's seat. Proposals like this are bound to fail.

Landmark study of humanitarian doctors & nurses documents 23,726 traumatic injuries in Gaza over a 6 month period ➡️ 67% explosive injuries, 30% firearm injuries ➡️ Burns: 18% of all trauma ➡️ Head, chest, and limb trauma widespread and unusually severe www.bmj.com/content/390/...

What do these recognitions of Palestine as a state even mean when those recognising it continue to support Israel's genocide against Palestinians and don't specify what borders they are talking about. The 1967 proposal is an insult to many.

Herr @ronensteinke.bsky.social, weshalb schreiben Sie regelmäßig Artikel darüber, dass Israel angeblich keinen Völkermord begeht? Warum schreiben Sie nicht darüber, wie das Töten, Verstümmeln, Vertreiben und Aushungern der Palästinenser durch Israel gestoppt werden kann? bsky.app/profile/rone...

We've written to KCL Management urging them to urgently lobby UK Government to enable safe passage for Chevening Scholarship students from Gaza to the UK. Considering the level of institutional complicity that KCL has with the genocide, it's really the LEAST they can do. See our statement below.👇
