In the UK it’s illegal to write the words “Palestine” and “Action” next to each other on a piece of cardboard because someone put red paint on a plane to protest an active genocide.

Has the European Union stopped supporting Israel yet?
The only reason you assassinate every Al Jazeera journalist left in Gaza is because you don’t want anyone to document the genocide you are about to accelerate.
Any politician and any journalist who cannot call this genocide for what it is, is complicit, and I hope history remembers you as such.

Guys, every new bomb and bullet America sends Israel for use on Gazans is flown in via the British military base on Cyprus, the one that Sir Keir visited at Christmas and gave a speech on TV saying he appreciated all the hard work the lads were doing there, work that he couldn’t talk about openly.

This is explosive. Or will be as the full import of what it encompasses starts to be understood by outsiders.
Israel is using Microsoft Azure to store recordings of every phone call made by Palestinians in the occupied territories, then using AI to analyze the contents and select targets. Microsoft is (dubiously) claiming ignorance.
‘A million calls an hour’: Israel relying on Microsoft cloud for expansive surveillance of Palestinians
Revealed: The Israeli military undertook an ambitious project to store a giant trove of Palestinians’ phone calls on Microsoft’s servers in Europe

If tech bros can get rich by exterminating the nation of Palestine in broad daylight, then none of us are safe.

Palestine was under brutal occupation long before Oct 7th.
Never forget.
There is no justice until Palestine is liberated from the suffocating grip of Israeli occupation and apartheid.

I don't know what changed that dems are finally speaking up, but it's too little too late for thousands of Palestinians. They didn't have a problem with children dying quickly, but I guess the optics aren't great when children die slowly

Any government that knowingly chooses not to try to stop a genocide, is complicit in that genocide.
This is not rhetoric.
After 21 months, this is criminal responsibility and leaders and officials will be held accountable sooner or later.

1) Inform and motivate others (here & in real life). Protest. Call reps. Don’t avoid politics in (non-work) discussions.
2) family, friends. For some who remain on the sidelines I keep trying…
3) posting here helps me. Exercise. Feeling productive.
4) STOP doomscrolling.

We must be aware of the whole situation but focus on our role, situation, & ability to impact change.
Questions to ask yourself.

4) how do you recover?

The only time these bastards listen is when you hit them in their wallets. Continue to use your purchasing power. Make the shareholders angry. Do your homework - if there's the whisper of a connection to the Zionist occupying force, even at the level of corporate connections, choose otherwise.
Holding important meetings, lamenting bad things, urging people to do good things. The same routine for 20 months. And all the while the arms exports continue, the surveillance flights continue, trade and investment continues, normal diplomatic relations continue. Complicity in genocide continues.
