If you say “I support Palestine Action”, they might put you in jail. If you incite a racist riot, they put you on TV.

FIFA banned Haiti’s national team jersey after deeming it “too political,” even though most World Cup jerseys carry political meanings. Here are a few examples. youtu.be/Y3LIwIJLHCk

Today marks nine years since the Grenfell Tower fire. Nine years without justice. 72 people lost their lives in a tragedy that was entirely preventable. And yet not one person has faced criminal accountability. Not one prosecution. Not one conviction. Not one person behind bars.

Israeli forces released a video showing the widespread destruction from their assault on the city of Bint Jbeil. The footage shows entire neighborhoods and streets reduced to rubble, reflecting Israel’s policy of systematic destruction similar to that seen during the Gaza genocide.

Don’t be fooled… Israel is repeating the atrocities they committed in Gaza in Lebanon. Their lust to dominate the entire area and totally eliminate anyone who stands in their way are the most severe human rights violations since their own people were subjected to a genocide. LEBANON - PT 1

Dr Hussam Abu Safiya in court in Jerusalem today “I am a pediatrician. I provide medical care to patients, the injured, and vulnerable people in the Gaza Strip. I have carried out my work in accordance with international law and humanitarian standards. My detention is unjust and arbitrary.”

From bakers to farmers to anyone running a small business - rip-off Britain is squeezing us all. It's time for a real plan to secure our food resilience: supporting farmers, bringing down costs for small businesses, and giving workers proper rights and decent pay.

Danna Masad and I write about how colonial herding outposts in the West Bank appropriate and weaponize indigenous Palestinian pastoral practices and animal bodies to erase and replace Palestinian life and life-worlds. @natureandspace.bsky.social doi.org/10.1177/2514...

Israel is blocking the entry of baby formula into Gaza. Why do you think that is? What is it about baby formula that’s so special, so important, that it ends up on Israel’s list of restrictions and confiscations? Is it a dual-use item? NO. So what is it then? What is it?

This is the courage the world needs from those in the media ⬇️⬇️⬇️

I’m trying to imagine the reaction - from the media and our pundit class - if a top ally of Joe Biden had attacked the Jewish identity of a Republican candidate. But Islamophobia is normalized in this country.

The UK government has confirmed it will ban Palestine Action under anti-terrorism laws, making it a criminal offence to belong to or support the direct action group.

In December 2023, the Israeli President Isaac Herzog signed an artillery shell before it was fired to massacre Palestinians in Gaza. He belongs in the dock at The Hague, not platformed on the BBC.

An aid ship headed to Gaza caught fire after a suspected Israeli drone strike. 30 workers were on board delivering food to a population being starved under Israel’s 2-month blockade. The ship was part of the Freedom Flotilla — and now it’s sending out a distress signal.

Israel has killed at least 80 Palestinians in Gaza in the past 48 hours, bringing the total death toll to 1,001 since Israel broke the ceasefire on March 18.

Inspiring & moving talk by @dajanimuna.bsky.social #AAG2025 on green colonialism & ecocide in #Palestine. A compelling account of how infrastructure under settler colonialism is both a site of dispossession & resistance. Great to see many sessions on #Gaza #BDS @geogboycott.bsky.social

There’s a photo circulating of the Zionist army rounding up doctors, nurses, and patients from a hospital in northern Gaza. The detainees are blindfolded, stripped of their clothes, their hands zip-tied. One of them leans on crutches.
