I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Wafaa. Wafaa and her husband owned a grocery. She recently lost her son Tariq in a bombing, he was only five (she told me he would have turned six 10 days ago). She has four other children, Mohammed, 12, Rahaf, 11, Waseem, 9 and Tulin, 6.

If you think that the activities of groups like Palestine Action are a step too far then I'd like to know: would you have supported destroying a warehouse full of Zyklon B destined for the Nazi death camps, or would you have decried the illegal destruction of property?

You see, Biden was pure of heart while Trump is that worst of things: vulgar

"I never once hesitated to convey the truth as it is, without distortion or falsification—so that Allah may bear witness against those who stayed silent, those who accepted our killing, those who choked our breath, and whose hearts were unmoved by the scattered remains of our children and women..."

I just said this yesterday as I was cleaning out our junk drawer and found an ancient book of checks. How can this be safe?

You specifically asked for the BBC to confirm a story that was reported by a major international news outlet about its own staff. If the BBC reported that its staff was attacked would you ask Al Jazeera to confirm that?

Israel uses US bombs and US technology running on US cloud systems to murder civilians with impunity. Hundreds of journalists and healthcare workers, countless thousands of children.

And still our politicians are silent, because they only care about preserving the system that keeps them in power.

Why do you need British media to confirm a story about another outlet's staff?

Pew Research survey results titled "Among U.S. Jews, older adults more likely to say caring about Israel is essential to what being Jewish means to them", showing the percent of U.S Jews by age group (18-29, 30-49, 50-64, 65+, and all) who agree with these statements: - Say they have a lot/some in common with Jews in Israel: 54 57 63 66 60 - Feel very/somewhat attached to Israel: 48 52 63 67 58 - Follow news about Israel very/somewhat closely: 44 48 62 74 57 - Say caring about Israel is essential to what being Jewish means to them: 35 43 49 52 45 - Rate Netanyahu's leadership as excellent/good: 32 41 42 45 40 - Rate Trump's handling of the nation's policy toward Israel as excellent/good: 32 39 43 45 40 - Strongly oppose boycott, divestment, sanctions (BDS) movement: 27 28 38 44 34 - Say the Israeli government is making sincere effort toward peace: 24 29 34 38 33 - Believe God gave the land that is now lsrael to the Jewish people: 29 33 33 34 32 Source: Survey Nov. 19, 2019-June 3, 2020, among U.S. adults.

Yes there's been a major shift happening for years and he knows it. It's a big reason why there's so much money spent trying to hold back the floodwaters.

The age skews in this Pew survey from 2020 tell the story. You can imagine how much more of a shift there's been since then.

Well I don't know what Pascal's post was meant to convey. And since it doesn't have alt text a lot of other people have even less of a clue.

Terrorism is the use of violence against civilians to induce terror for political ends. You know, like Israel does. It's absurd to call property damage terrorism.

No idea what you're on about. But I get it, you'd rather uphold the letter of the law than use civil disobedience to try to stop a genocide. It's not like that's an unusual stance.

Lol thanks for the excellent demonstration of the liberal mind.

Elbit and its subsidiaries are instruments of evil. Would you support prosecuting people trying to stop the production of Zyklon B during the Holocaust?

That's because it's a draconian law meant to suppress dissent. It has nothing to do with actual terrorism.

… Here, when we name the dead, when we name these dead in particular, it is customary to note the number of children obliterated, because the men are assumed to be terrorists and the women might be terrorists or at the very least go on to create them. Whatever mainstream Western liberalism is—and I have no useful definition of it beyond something at its core transactional, centered on the magnanimous, enlightened image of the self and the dissonant belief that empathizing with the plight of the faraway oppressed is compatible with benefiting from the systems that oppress them—it subscribes to this calculus. People go to see the president in the White House for what they know is only a meaningless photo op and yet, in the hopes of getting him to see, to do something, anything, they show him pictures of the mangled bodies of children. It doesn't work. There is no transaction to be had; these dead kids offer nothing in return.

But this is not an account of that carnage, though it must in its own way address it, if only to uphold the most pathetic, necessary function of this work: witness. This is an account of something else, something that, for an entire generation of not just Arabs or Muslims or Brown people but rather all manner of human beings from all parts of the world, fundamentally changed during this season of completely preventable horror. This is an account of a fracture, a breaking away from the notion that the polite, Western liberal ever stood for anything at all.

“This is an account of a fracture, a breaking away from the notion that the polite, Western liberal ever stood for anything at all.”

Every day, on and on in full view of the entire world. It's hard to imagine a clearer demonstration of the amorality of the world's leaders and the depth of their commitment to the imperialist world order.

Last I checked airplane engines aren't sentient.

Yeah this isn't hard. Besides being a cardboard cutout of a slimy politician he's morally bereft. No idea why people are trying so hard to make him happen.

Tired: fighting a guy in a Home Depot parking lot

Great bit of propaganda by Starmer. Some of the companies PA targeted were owned by Jews, so he claims that these are antisemitic attacks. Instead these are companies such as the landlord of a subsidiary of Elbit Systems, Instro Precision, which makes devices that Israel uses to kill Palestinians.

Famine has exhausted us, and hunger and thirst have changed our faces.

Your previous donations saved us, but they have run out due to extreme inflation.

Today we need your support again to regain our health and live with dignity 🙏🏻🍞😥

Straight to hell boy

Another in a long line of brutal regimes that Israel has helped oppress and murder their citizens. Guatemala, Argentina, South Africa, El Salvador, Paraguay...

Truly a regal goat

Damn and I just sprang for a 9600 baud modem

Hi,I am Mohammed from Gaza. This is my niece, Sarah. Her leg was amputated due to the occupation’s bombing of my sister’s house. My sister was martyred and her daughter and son survived, but her daughter needs a prosthetic limb to be able to walk and return her smile to her face.

Oh oh I know: because we don't send billions of dollar of weapons to the Myanmar junta every fucking year.

What must it be like inside his head

Is there anyone Paxton doesn't have a beef with?
