MAJOR GATHERING IN BARCELONA IN SUPPORT OF PALESTINE

A large number of Barcelona residents gathered in Catalonia square and chanted slogans in support of the Gaza Strip, the Palestinian people and demanded a boycott of the Zionist regime.

Horrifying: Israel bombs Gaza's overcrowded Tuffah neighbourhood with insane airstrikes while its full of people without any prior warning.

This carnage happens at the exact same time Western media is claiming the war on Gaza has entered a phase of 'low intensity'!

BREAKING: Police have flooded the encampment and given the warning, banging tents as they entered.

Students have locked arms around the flagpole, signaling their willingness to be arrested.

The crowd, several of whom are in tears, have begun singing “We shall not be moved.”

I am tired of seeing people that are in positions of privilege continue to paint themselves as victims

Every single university in Gaza destroyed and yet we’re told that the students protesting this genocide are the monsters.

Good morning from the west lawn of Columbia University where over 100 students slept overnight. We are still here going strong and here we will remain until Columbia meets our demands!

#cu4palestine

Calling the police to remove protesting students is a low for anyone committed to education. Shameful, disturbing, and revealing of the lengths to which our academic institutions will go in their complicity with genocidal states.

Feminist borders are an oxymoron.

Borders, walls, jails, cages, war and occupation all disproportionally and deliberately reproduce gender-based violence.

Borders are always an anti-feminist structuring.

My biggest dream is that in my lifetime I can hear the words ‘welcome to Palestine’ said in a free Palestine from the river to the sea. These are the only conditions under which I’ll ever return to the place I was born.

“In this war between coloniser & colonised, oppressor & oppressed, there has been nothing remotely approaching equivalence between the two sides”
