UPDATE: Our ad has been pulled. While the Daily Telegraph and Herald Sun talk about freedom of speech all the time, they've decided that they won't be proceeding with our ad tomorrow.

We still hope they will run our ad at a later date, because we need to broadcast the message, end the genocide!

Geen land investeert meer in Israël dan Nederland - The Rights Forum

Een derde van de totale buitenlandse handel van Israël drijft het met de EU. Het gaat om 42,9 miljard euro in 2024, veel meer dan de handel tussen de VS en Israël (31,6 miljard euro). Het is nu tijd het Associatieverdrag tussen de EU en Israël op te schorten.

Graduates from the University of Edinburgh's school of Political and Social Sciences disrupted their commencement and held a mass walkout to expose the complicity of their university in the Israeli genocide.

"Belgische universiteiten hebben al verschillende keren aan de Europese Commissie gevraagd hoe de deelname van Israëlische ploegen nog te rijmen valt met de verwijzing naar mensenrechten."

Wanneer volgt NL? @universiteitennl.bsky.social

Dit (in dit geval in @nrc.nl) blijf ik zo ontzettend vreemd en kwalijk vinden. Wanneer verandert "Mensenrechtenorganisaties zeggen dat Israël genocide pleegt" in "Israël pleegt genocide"? Maar echt, wanneer?

Heftig om te zien hoe deze mevrouw de mond grof wordt gesnoerd deze beelden van het Journaal. Het gebeurde ná de minuten stilte en ze staat hier niet in een menigte waar ze de orde verstoord, dus ik snap niet waarom het nodig is.

Most professors at Barnard College received text messages on Monday notifying them that a federal agency was reviewing the college’s employment practices, according to copies of the messages reviewed by The Intercept. The messages, sent to most Barnard professors’ personal cellphones, asked them to complete a voluntary survey about their employment. “Please select all that apply,” said the second question in the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, or EEOC, survey. “The federal government reaching out to our personal cellphones to identify who is Jewish is incredibly sinister.” The choices followed: “I am Jewish”; “I am Israeli”; “I have shared Jewish/Israeli ancestry”; “I practice Judaism”; and “Other.” Other questions asked respondents whether they had been subjected to antisemitism, as well as whether they were subject to “unwelcome discussions,” graffiti or signs depicting antisemitic messages or images, antisemitic or anti-Israeli protests, “unwelcome comments, jokes or discussions,” or “pressure to abandon, change or adopt a practice or religious belief.” “The federal government reaching out to our personal cellphones to identify who is Jewish is incredibly sinister,” said Barnard associate professor Debbie Becher, who is Jewish and received the text. “They are clearly targeting what most of the United States, I hope and I think, defines as freedom of speech, but only in the case of anti-Israeli speech.”

“I am Jewish”
“I am Israeli”
“I have shared Jewish/Israeli ancestry”
“I practice Judaism”
& “Other”

Yes! Both risks & stakes are higher: this is the moral question that faces this generation - the question of Palestine is a question of refusing a world order of settler colonialism, genocide & erosion of intn'l law - and the students are not turning away. May they change the course of history.

🧵 While Gaza is being destroyed, Israel’s parliament is quietly advancing apartheid laws against Palestinians — both inside Israel and across occupied Palestine. Here’s what they just did:

Tweet from Yuval Abraham: "A group of settlers just lynched Hamdan Ballal, co director of our film no other land. They beat him and he has injuries in his head and stomach, bleeding. Soldiers invaded the ambulance he called, and took him. No sign of him since."

BREAKING: Yuval Abraham, co-director of Oscar-winning documentary "No Other Land," says Israeli settlers beat his co-director Hamdan Ballal, injuring his head and stomach — and then Israeli soldiers invaded the ambulance he was in and seized him.

Ballal's whereabouts are now unknown.

The fight to free Mahmoud Khalil is not merely about preserving First Amendment rights, it is about whether we will allow our government to criminalize resistance to its complicity in human rights abuses and genocide.

Life expectancy dropped by more than 30 years during the first 12 months of the genocide in Gaza. These are conservative numbers.
