BOYCOTT ISRAEL

This advert is powerful & hits right to the point

“Every dollar is a bullet in a Palestinian’s child body”

Use the ‘No Thanks’ app - it’s so easy to use. Takes 2 secs to scan the barcode to see if an item is on boycott list

Every action makes a difference 🇵🇸

Dog moves the camera so he can secretly eat food on the table.

But wait ... there's also a cat in the room.

Can we please just put these little fuckers in charge of the whole world? 😂

"Powerful words from historian William Dalrymple on Gaza, exposing how Britain’s colonial legacy played a key role in creating this injustice. The suffering in Gaza didn’t start yesterday, it was engineered long ago. #Gaza #Palestin🇵🇸"

Kneecap is not the story.
Genocide in Gaza is.

Albanese’s words are too little, too late. Weak words of condemnation are meaningless without action.

His comments on Israel’s latest campaign of forced starvation come 597 days into the genocide in Gaza, while this government continues to supply weapon parts to the IOF.

Here is a copy of the full ABC interview with APAN President Nasser Mashni (in two parts) which is now missing from the ABC News website.

Israel is “not a democracy—it’s a rogue apartheid genocidal state, headed up by a war criminal. It’s time for Australia to do more than just talk.”

If Donald Trump puts tariffs on Australian goods we should close Pine Gap.

Actually, just close Pine Gap.

reposting so everyone can see it.
words of @AliAbunimah: "I’m free! I wrote this on the plane and I’m posting it just after landing at Istanbul. On Monday evening I was brought to Zurich airport in handcuffs, in a small metal cage inside a windowless prison van and led all the way to the plane by police. This is after three days and two nights in a Swiss prison cut off from communication with the outside world, in a cell 24 hours a day with one cell mate, not even permitted to contact my family. On Saturday in a police interview in the presence of my lawyer they accused me of “offending against Swiss law” without ever telling me what crime I had committed in Switzerland or listing any charges. As far as I know I have not been charged with any crime whatsoever and I was held in “administrative detention.” On Sunday morning, they took me from my cell for questioning by Swiss defense ministry intelligence agents without the presence of my lawyer, and they again refused to allow me to contact her or my family. I refused to talk to them without my lawyer and told them take me back to my cell. During my imprisonment I refused every meal and every cup of coffee or tea they offered me except the last meal, after I knew I would be going home. I accepted only water, which is the right of every human being. All of this was after I was abducted off the street around 1:30pm on Saturday while on my way to the Palestine teach-in by undercover agents, handcuffed, forced into an unmarked car and sped straight to the prison. My “crime”? Being a journalist who speaks up for Palestine and against Israel’s genocide and settler-colonial savagery and those who aid and abet it. I came to Switzerland at the invitation of Swiss citizens to talk about justice for Palestine, to talk about accountability for a genocide in which Switzerland too is complicit..."

My dad was tortured by the Gestapo for 4 days and thrown in a concentration camp for being in the Norwegian Resistance. Growing up, he would tell me things he learned in the Resistance. I thought, I'm never going to need this stuff. Here's some of those things #Thread

Happy birthday to my compatriot Antonio Gramsci:

“The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born: now is the time of monsters.”

this quote sadly is very relevant today

“In the first 60 days following October 7, the military response in Gaza generated more planet-warming gases than twenty climate-vulnerable nations emit in an entire year.

“In a single month Israel dropped 25,000 tons of bombs on Gaza - equivalent to burning 150,000 tonnes of coal.”
