A perfect example of how writing is not merely a means of expression, but a form of inquiry and a method of learning.

In France, trade unionist Anasse Kazib faces prosecution for pro-Palestinian tweets.

The overheated allegations of โ€œapologia for ter*orismโ€ express a broader crackdown on civil liberties, today targeted at Palestine solidarity activists.

A huge shout out to the folks at @truthout.org for covering this case of repression.

From Europe to the US, these attacks on Palestine solidarity and free speech can be defeated, but only if we unite against them.

Port Workers in France Refuse to Load Military Equipment for Israel โ€” Setting an Example for Workers Everywhere - Left Voice French stevedores are refusing to load military equipment destined for Israel.

The ruling class is seizing on the murder of two Israeli embassy staffers to criminalize the movement for Palestine and the Left. We must denounce these reactionary attacks but also be clear that individual violence sets us back and is no substitute for mass, collective action.

Rodriguezโ€™s clear desire to โ€œdo something,โ€ to โ€œdo anything!โ€ to put a stop to the genocide, no doubt reflects a sense of frustration shared by millions of ordinary people who feel utterly helpless in the face of the massacre that they have been forced to watch unfold in real time.
