Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya was abducted by the IDF after refusing to abandon Kamal Adwan Hospital. He walked across the rubble to a tank and shook a genocidal soldier’s hand, before being taken to prison where he is tortured and denied medical treatment as a political prisoner. For being a doctor 💔🇵🇸
A year on, Israel still holds Gaza doctor Hussam Abu Safia without charge https://aje.io/wmyqzo

Over 400 people, including children, have been killed since the so-called ceasefire in Gaza.

Saying that they are only killing terrorists during a ceasefire is a tacit admission that they were intentionally targeting innocent civilians before the attacks were supposed to have stopped.

Israeli forces point blank shot a 16 yr old boy walking towards his home, lied about his movements, and blocked any attempt at an emergency response as Rayyan Abdel Qader bled out.

There is no ceasefire in Gaza
There is no plan for peace

There is ethnic cleansing
There is violent colonization
There is land and resource theft
There is genocide

And the people doing this have names
Israeli forces shelled a school in the Tuffah neighborhood of Gaza City that was being used as a shelter, where families were gathered for a wedding celebration. The attack killed seven Palestinians, including children and a 4-month-old baby.

“Settler expansion has been compounded by a surge of attacks against Palestinians in the West Bank… Settlers burned cars, desecrated mosques, ransacked industrial plants and destroyed cropland. Israeli authorities have done little beyond issuing occasional condemnations of the violence.”

Trump is not stealing ships to distract from the Epstein files. Trump is doing his despot thing despite the Epstein files, because America voted in a thief AND a pedophile AND a rapist… twice.
Stealing other people’s shit is exactly how capitalism works. The theft is baked in.

When did freedom become a reason to hate?
A way to justify a racial slur or insult we make
There's an irony in freedom, 'cause us in the West
We have pillaged and plundered and murdered like savages
Colonized all of the rest, that's called hypocrisy

So many reasons not to travel to the US, but America’s obsession with guns was the original reason I decided to not go there ever, even as a layover.
Zoe Weissman came to Brown University from Parkland, Florida, where she was a student during the mass shooting that occurred there in 2018.

“My most predominant emotion right now is, honestly, anger," Weissman says after living through her second school shooting.

“Intentionally killing innocent people is always wrong”… this is the only correct response to a deadly terrorist attack.

How awful to watch people use this horrific antisemitic act to justify further violence and genocide.
