Palestine defenders are preparing for the latest—and largest—Freedom Flotilla Coalition mission to set sail for Gaza in an attempt to break Israel's US-backed genocidal siege on the embattled Palestinian territory.

Dozens of boats carrying hundreds of activists from as many as 44 nations are set to take part in the Global Sumud Flotilla—sumud means "perseverance" in Arabic—as it attempts to run Israel's naval blockade and deliver desperately needed humanitarian aid including food, medicines, and baby formula to the starving people of Gaza.

Guys, seeing people leaving this genocide and saving their families from death breaks my heart. Even I, a writer, am in danger and have a family to protect. Who do I contact to get me out of here?

This was hilarious, thank you.

 

The US has revoked visas for Palestinian officials, barring them from attending next month’s United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York, a move that comes as several Western countries prepare to recognize a Palestinian state, Anadolu reports.

 

As Israel pushes deeper into Gaza City, President Donald Trump met Wednesday to discuss plans for a postwar Gaza with his son-in-law and former Middle East envoy, Jared Kushner, and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair. This comes as Israeli business leaders are reportedly involved in developing a postwar Gaza plan that includes the creation of a “Trump Riviera” and a manufacturing zone named after Elon Musk, using financial models developed by the U.S. firm Boston Consulting Group.

European leaders, along with Joe Biden and Donald Trump, remind us of the real lesson of the Holocaust. It is not Never Again, but, We Do not Care. They are full partners in the genocide. Some wring their hands and say they are “appalled” or “saddened.” Some decry Israel’s orchestrated starvation. A few say they will declare a Palestinian state.

This is Kabuki theater — a way, when the genocide is over, for these Western leaders to insist they stood on the right side of history, even as they armed and funded the genocidal killers, while harassing, silencing or criminalizing those who decried the slaughter.

The razing of Gaza is not only a crime against the Palestinian people. It is a crime against our cultural and historical heritage — an assault on memory. We cannot understand the present, especially when reporting on Palestinians and Israelis, if we do not understand the past.

History is a mortal threat to Israel. It exposes the violent imposition of a European colony in the Arab world. It reveals the ruthless campaign to de-Arabize an Arab country. It underscores the inherent racism towards Arabs, their culture and their traditions. It challenges the myth that, as former Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak said, Zionists created, “a villa in the middle of a jungle.” It mocks the lie that Palestine is exclusively a Jewish homeland. It recalls centuries of Palestinian presence. And it highlights the alien culture of Zionism, implanted on stolen land.

When I covered the genocide in Bosnia, the Serbs blew up mosques, carted away the remains and forbade anyone to speak of the structures they had razed. The goal in Gaza is the same, to wipe out the past and replace it with myth, to mask Israeli crimes, including genocide.

This denial of historical truth and historical identity permits Israelis to wallow in eternal victimhood. It sustains a morally blind nostalgia for an invented past. If Israelis confront these lies it threatens an existential crisis. It forces them to rethink who they are. Most prefer the comfort of illusion. The desire to believe is more powerful than the desire to see.

I have this weird feeling that piefed and world are corporate try to go back to centralised social media. Just paranoid.

I just want to remind everyone that Jill Stein was on the ballot. But that was the wrong “not trump”, “not genocide” person apparently.

 

We still don’t and probably never will know how many people are dead at the bottom of the Mediterranean sea trying to cross from north Africa to Greece or Italy.

If I remember correctly statistics pointed at some several hundred thousands of people leaving and just a fraction of them arriving.

Today Israel killed 20 people, including 5 journalists, in a double tap airstrike on an hospital. Just today.

English language doesn’t have the right words to describe how utterly disgusted I am by this pedophile genocidal scummy cult and every single person who defends/enables it.

 

🇳🇱 Caspar Veldkamp, the Dutch Foreign Minister (pictured above), resigned from his post rather than continue serving in a government that refused to sanction Israel for its war crimes in Gaza and the West Bank. Within hours, his entire party — the New Social Contract (NSC), including four other ministers — followed him out the door.

You agreed with most of my issues lol and those you said I’m wrong you didn’t even had the courage to double check. So allow me:

Like I just said there were not enough people who voted third party to change this election even if they all voted for Harris. I don't like that we are in a 2 party system but we are.

  • This is such a stupid weak ass take. Again, JILL STEIN WAS ON THE BALLOT, saying it’s a 2 party system is a factual LIE. If people stop bitching about third parties and actually vote them (like I proved to you happened in many other countries or events), surprise! You can actually vote out these scumbags out!

Unlikely is different than not true, you use this word way too much.

  • You literally adopted the strategy of “not as bad as” and are in an open fascist country. What the fuck are talking about?!? Democrats murdered millions of people without touching Americans, you were cool with it.

Which honestly a pretty solid proposal

  • you are not a serious person, you deserve to go bankrupt on medical bills, maybe at that point you will understand.

She has her own issues

  • and not going to elaborate on it? Now the “not trump” and “not genocide” is not valid anymore? Truly unserious pathetic person.

Simply not true Bernie is mostly funded by small donations same with AOC except she is funded even more (percentage wise) from small donations.

It took me 5 mins to look it up

LET ME SAYING IT AGAIN LOUDER, YOU ARE A DEEPLY DEEPLY UNSERIOUS PERSON WHO PLAYS POLITICS AND PROPAGANDA ON THE BACK OF STARVING CHILDREN.

you should be truly ashamed of yourself and head back to history class. I’m not even gonna touch on that charismatic-Obama take because I think I’m gonna vomit.

Really good luck my friend ❤️

Okay, thank you for a proper answer and not just a sassy comment to shame who doesn’t stomach dead kids.

I do have a couple of problem with this approach:

  • every person on the ballot has a chance to win
  • If you keep voting the “not as bad as” candidate you will inevitably end up with fascism
  • You CAN NOT blame you own neighbours and friends for having a conscience and not voting a genocide (this is even crazy to write jesus christ)
  • kamala was a last moment placeholder with no real proposals other then “not trump”
  • jill stein was on the ballot
  • mamdani, corbyn and melenchon (to name just a few) were and will always be portrayed as marginal, small and insignificant by the ruling establishment, it’s propaganda
  • Trump is a dictator and there will never be a fair election as long as maga are in power
  • Newsom, Trump, Kamala, AOC, Bernie and 95% of the US political class is paid by the same lobby. If you cheer for newsom you are falling for the same trick.

I just hope for an american awakening rather than nuclear winter.

“You will like the transphobic child killer pedo country supporter because he knows what a meme is. What? No, we can’t attack him for being a pedophile and supporting a genocide, stop it.”
