Two years into Israel’s genocide in Gaza, the world’s complicity is clear. Western governments, corporations, and media have shielded and sustained a colonial project built on occupation, racial capitalism, and dehumanization—profiting from and normalizing the erasure of the Palestinian people

To the free people of the world, Today, Monday, October 6th, 2025, we are writing from within Ktzi’ot prison, located deep in the Negev Desert of occupied Palestine.

To be clear what happened here. Israel bombed a hospital. They waited for paramedics and first responders to arrive. Then they bombed it again. This is known as the 'double tap'. You are watching unfathomable evil, armed and facilitated by the West.

#BREAKING 🚨 Four journalists, including Reuters cameraman Hussam al-Masri, are among 20 dead in an Israeli strike on Gaza's Nasser hospital The second strike was captured live on television as rescue crews were seen in the building attempting evacuate the injured

Civil defense rescue teams were hit by an Israeli airstrike during a live broadcast on Al-Ghad TV. 🚨📢 It was the second strike on Nasser Hospital, killing journalist and Reuters photographer Hossam Al-Masry, along with others. This is not war. This is dehumanization. 😤 #HumanRights

Call your governments now and hold them to account. Demand an end their complicity in Israel’s war crimes and #genocide in #Gaza & an immediate release of all ‘Handala’ crew members. @rumboagaza.bsky.social @freegazaaustralia.bsky.social @canadaboatgaza.bsky.social

Israeli forces illegally boarded ‘Handala’ in international waters, abducting 21 unarmed civilians. Demand your government end its complicity in Israeli war crimes, ensure the unhindered delivery of humanitarian aid, and call for the immediate release of all crew members.

I'm cancelling my #INSAR2025 attendance due to the US being ... is it too much to say "authoritarian oligarchy"? I just don't think I'd do well in a US detention center. Are there fellow #Autism researchers boycotting #INSAR this year? Also, is any brave soul going planning to live tweet PLZ?
