This article is terrifying. Israel, with the help of companies like Microsoft and Palantir, has turned Gaza into a dystopian hellscape beyond imagining—a drone-patrolled, wiretapped wasteland where grieving, traumatized people are afraid to even text their surviving loved ones.

Two hundred thousand people have fled their homes in eastern Congo in recent days, the United Nations said, as Rwanda-backed rebels march on a strategic town just days after Donald Trump hosted the Rwandan and Congolese leaders to proclaim peace. reuters.com/world/africa/2…

"It is obscene how quickly the right has seized on this horror to advance an Islamophobic, anti-Palestinian agenda. And it is disgusting to see Israel’s politicians almost gleeful at the opportunity to distract from their genocidal onslaught in Gaza" 972mag.com/bondi-massacre…

Disgraceful by the The West Australian to link the peaceful anti-genocide movement & the bridge march with the horrific antisemitic terror attack in Bondi. Yesterday a friend was abused in a shopping centre simply for wearing her keffiyeh. This misleading & hateful commentary

Wrong on so many levels. As if preventing protests will help fight antisemitism, as if people protesting Israel’s genocide is antisemitic, as if more state power, surveillance and (racist) policing will solve the problem of racism in this place. Fuck this shit.

Record levels of colonisation in the West Bank are occurring simultaneously with record levels of forced displacement. The genocide in Gaza has served as a tool for erasing the indigenous inhabitants of other parts of Palestine from their lands.

I’m sorry to be self-righteous but it is really true what they say. When you visit the West Bank, witness the brutality of the occupation, see its inner workings, and get to know its victims, I don’t see how it’s possible to stop it from consuming you and altering the course of

Reminder that over two years ago Isaac Chotiner and The New Yorker ran a piece with this headline without presenting any evidence of systematic sexual violence. Moreover the interviewee has since walked back much of what she claimed here. The piece is still up with the same headline

“To preserve the values of the civilized world, it is necessary to set fire to a library. To blow up a mosque. To incinerate olive trees. To dress up in the lingerie of women who fled and then take pictures. To level universities. To loot jewellery, art, banks, food. To arrest
