Genocide co-creator from the jump, Palestinians were saying

The 2025 olive harvest season has started across the #WestBank, at a time when settler violence against Palestinian communities, including the agricultural sector, continues unabated. This week alone, hundreds of olive trees have been uprooted or destroyed by settlers.

This would be huge. A game changer. Whew

The Netzarim killing-field distribution-site, now vacated by the 'Gaza Humanitarian Fund' ...this iteration of GHF may be done (thank god) but it seems unlikely to me that it won't reform, rebrand, and continue pursuing entrenchment of this model

IOF does not cease firing. At least 17 ki||ed today, dozens injured.

please note these and then observe how this talking point will be upcycled into ostensibly 'left' or 'liberal' discourses on this site in the coming days

If you saw UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell's statement the other day and read it for filth, the PNGO Network confirms: you read it correctly

for real, they are still POUNDING parts of the strip & city + numerous West Bank raids, abductions, assaults, road blocks. the past several hours have been horrific. this is barely a hint of the current reality:

Yaşasın Özgür Filistin! Yaşasın Küresel Intifada!

'This practice is not incidental but has been institutionalized & embedded in Israeli law...it extends colonial control beyond life into death, stripping Palestinians of dignity, memory, & closure' www.cda.gov.ps/index.php/en/en-prisoner-movement/2017-06-01-06-55-12/21089-withholding-the-dead-3

The Prisoners' Society & the Commission of Detainees' Affairs confirmed that Ahmad Hatem Khudairat died in captivity today. He was 22 years old, from Adh Dhahiriya, Hebron. Abducted 23 May 2024, Ahmad is the 78th hostage *known to be killed by occupation authorities in the past 2 years /

this webinar recording is available here s-v-p-a.org/sorvo-palest... and it's totally worth checking out. linking the reports below

this is *appalling* information from aid workers' on UN deputy Suzanna Tkalec's activities - enabled aid weaponisation - “consistently manipulated by COGAT” - aligned w/ Israeli objectives - "why so many agencies now are unable to deliver” - "sidelined anyone with a moral compass" - read on ⤵️

The ethical issues in this practice make the head spin. And that’s before considering the military and foreign policy ones. Yikes.

This is a torture video distributed by the Feds to intimidate, to incite, to recruit

um..guys.... a US firm, hired for $4.1m via IMFA, is targeting Christian communities with a campaign that's explicitly 'anti-Palestinian', includes the “largest Christian Church Geofencing Campaign in U.S. history”, and more

The illegal occupying force of Global Capital (USA and its colonial outposts) will only stop when it is stopped by a coalition of humanity that exists outside its influence. That’s it. How do I know, cause I’ve watched humanity try everything else and fail over and over again my whole life.

and solely for death-making purposes...oh my god

predictably: Trump is 'Hamas'

There is no justice here, same as it ever was. They use their rules to lock their victims up so they can get to them and "data entry errors" magically protect them from actual justice. Fuck this shit.

¡nearly all of the weapons transferred to Mexican police were classified as exclusively for military use, even though they are actually used by police

DESPITE NYT's BEST EFFORTS

This quote from Starmer is a good example of what is wrong with the mainstream strategy to counter the resurgence of far-right politics The (far)right has no answer to the many crises facing us, but the mainstream hasn't proven it does either and discarding the left only strengthens the former

DÍA DE LA RESISTENCIA Y LA DIGNIDAD INDÍGENA | 12 OCT wp.me/p8qHTQ-2Za

Across clubs, across arenas, and across forms, the purpose is the same: to merge sport with genocide. → bit.ly/4mI4vgb [image with alt text]

¿Qué hay de terrorista en denunciar un genocidio? | What's terrorist about denouncing genocide? Un cartel, una acusación de terrorismo | A poster, an accusation of terrorism A Mexican citizen is facing a 2-10 yr prison sentence in Czechia after participating in a march. He sends a msg from Prague

-or what some describe as a holocide

If you saw Hani's full interview & heard him ref an Israeli reservist's death toll calculation, I think it's this one: Sgt. Benjamin Anthony admits they est having killed 90,000 people (60,000 civilians + 30,000 'Hamas') He also says 'and by the way, there are more to be killed' /

that this has not been treated as a hostage situation

In Franklin Park, IL this afternoon— Across the street from where ICE shot and killed Silverio Villegas González two weeks ago, a small gathering is ongoing. Folks are cleaning up the memorial site. An organizer tells us people have been periodically damaging it and breaking candles.

sure looks to me like it's Flock flaunting features

A new report from MENA Rights Group on state punishment of human rights defenders & civil society organisations who engage with UN mechanisms Tool of choice: accusations of 'terrorism' & 'threats to security'

hearing that the IOF plans to subject the Strip to Netanyahu’s UN address today by broadcasting it over mobile loudspeakers [& possibly forcing it through cell phones], I'm even more appreciative of every second of sleep these very reasonable noisemakers managed to deny him

[ you know who ✋]

"Our would-be masters have no conscience and will use every means to end each and every act of rebellion and civil defence which they cannot control."

Some good insight, I think, for that evergreen question of "why such commitment to Israel?" The right needs Israel because it has managed to neutralize the left

"This is not a recognition of sovereignty but a diplomatic fiction. At its core, it codifies a narrative of colonial partition" - @alshabaka.bsky.social 's roundtable: Statehood Without Liberation

for a second I thought this was going to be a map of the Strip 🤷‍♂️ 'Hamas'? 'Antifa'? Who could say
