I agree with comrade @moorehn.bsky.social. When itโ€™s so late, more drastic action is needed to stop the genocide, mass starvation, ethnic cleansing, colonizer violence. Right now, today. This is not a rehabilitation tour with words, actions matter.

Is starvation in Gaza really Israel's fault? The facts are clear Rising starvation in Gaza may have a number of factors. But Israel's wartime policies on humanitarian aid are inarguably among them.

For @forward.com, I wrote about how we know that Israel has been withholding food as a military tactic because Israeli officials have said versions of โ€œwe are withholding food as a military tacticโ€ for the entirety of the war and pretending otherwise is willful ignorance forward.com/opinion/7586...

This is dangerous! It has been proven to lead to more injuries and food waste. JUST LET THE DAMN AID TRUCKS IN! This genocidal regime is evil and all those who support it are just as bad

The

 is calling on every leader in the world to step in immediately with measures that ensure food and water gets into Gaza right now. 

No more discussions, meetings, reports, sessions, summits. 

GET FOOD AND WATER INTO GAZA NOW. 

IF YOU HAVE THE POWER, YOU MUST USE IT.

Wowโ€”the Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention (named after Raphael Lemkin, a Holocaust survivor who coined the term genocide) says plainly:

"No more discussions, meetings, reports, sessions, summitsโ€ฆIF YOU HAVE THE POWER, YOU MUST USE IT."

"HISTORY WILL DETERMINE THE RECTITUDE OF YOUR ACTIONS."

Very belated post about the amazing @thefsbi.bsky.social and @ifmfish.bsky.social confernce we just had in Belfast. The science was incredible, the people were amazing. Pretty sure I didn't get to talk to all ~160 of you, but I had the best time, and it's feeling very quiet without you!!

How the Israel Lobby has Bought British Politics With increased political and media coverage of comments made by Kneecap and Bob Vylan at Glastonbury, it is clear that Israel and their lobbyists have a stranglehold on UK Politicians & the Media.

The manufactured outrage over antisemitism while turning a blind eye to actual genocide isnโ€™t an accident. Itโ€™s a deliberate strategy to silence dissent by equating moral outrage with hate speech & distract the public from the real corruption andymuirhead.substack.com/p/how-the-is... #gaza #israel
