Our @palestinespace.bsky.social database of 82 companies and their complicity in the genocide or supply of the zionist arms industry is now public.

We also now have a database of products & their documented use in the genocide. Fill out the form for access.

In fact the opposite, I stopped hearing from all the space freelancers overnight !

And remember when we revealed that at least half of NASA spending—$39 billion—goes to companies that arm the zionist entity and the funding was in part for weapons development

And no one picked that up or particularly cared

Remember when we revealed that NASA had purchased hundreds of lethal firearms directly from Glock for border patrol at NASA sites and no one picked that up or particularly cared

What journalist is going to cover that there are 36 genocide profiteers at one of the biggest space conferences in the world? Some have legal filings against them for war crimes? Read more: palestinespace.org/iac2025 #IAC2025 #SpaceComplicity

This event is 63 years to the day after Hazem Zaki Nuseibeh, Rep of Jordan & proud Palestinian, spoke to the UNGA.

First, about space & the need for law - but law as pathway to justice, as right over might. Then, he moved directly to what that would mean for Palestine.

docs.un.org/en/A/PV.1138

"23. If there should be a continuance of the present attitude of complacency and indifference to the plight of the Arabs of Palestine, can we in all honesty ascribe it to anything but an attitude of inertia, of unwillingness, rather than to an inability to act?”

Then came the quote that's haunted me today:

"If there should be a continuance of the present attitude of complacency and indifference to the plight of... Palestine, can we in all honesty ascribe it to anything but an attitude of inertia, of unwillingness, rather than to an inability to act?”

just spent 5 hours writing up results of looking at spectral satellite images over Gaza for @palestinespace.bsky.social... the world should burn... what will you do today to stop this...

If someone agrees that space is a "province of all (hu)mankind" - but then draws a line at Palestinians - they're telling on themselves...

Now is a very good time for folks to reconsider the links between the MIC and space exploration. This week isn't the first time I've been advised to be ready to jump to a defense contractor to "survive" as a planetary scientist, and it won't be last. Really makes you think!!

This is not an IAC side event - it is a counter event. It is a call to resist, hold our industry accountable, and demand justice-driven futures of space exploration.

This event will take place on the stolen land of the Gadigal peoples.

Dark blue and teal poster with logos of Palestine Space Institute and (Un)Common Cosmos at the top. The bold title reads “IAC Counter Event: Spacewashing, Justice, and Genocide in Gaza.” Subtext explains the event confronts the space industry’s complicity in colonialism, militarism, and genocide, exposing companies profiting from war and colonial violence and creating space for justice-driven visions of exploration. A turquoise starry map outline of Palestine is on the right. A highlighted box states: “This is a call to resist. To hold our industry accountable. To demand a future for space that is rooted in justice rather than violence.” Event details: Wednesday October 1st, 4–6 PM AEST, University of Sydney, with exact location shared upon registration. The bottom notes the event is taking place on the Traditional Lands of the Gadigal people and includes a QR code for info and registration.

As the genocide in Gaza continues, the IAC is about to take place under the theme of "Sustainable Space: Resilient Earth." But what does it mean to celebrate "sustainable" space while profiting from the violence of war and colonialism on Earth?
