Ta ställning mot svält som vapen – kräv att svenska företag bryter med Israel!

Jag heter Magdalena Ericsson och har startat den här namninsamlingen för att vi som medborgare inte kan vara tysta medan svält används som vapen mot befolkningen i Gaza. Sverige måste ta ansvar. Svens...

Read what Hossam, a 24-year-old Palestinian journalist, wrote just hours before he was killed today.

There are no words to describe the inhumanity of the times you and I are sharing.

Passage from Hossam Shabat:

When I arrived on the scene, I wasn’t ready for the horror before my eyes. The streets were filled with the dead. Under every stone lay a martyr. Dozens were crying for help from underneath the rubble of their homes but there was no one to respond. Screams filled the air while everyone stood helpless. My tears didn’t stop. The scenes were more than any human being could bear. The ambulances were filled with corpses, their bodies and limbs piled on top and intertwined with one another. We could no longer distinguish between children and men, between the injured and the dead.

At Al-Andalus hospital the scene was even more painful. The hospital was filled with martyrs. Mothers bid silent farewells to their children. Medical staff worked in horrific conditions, trying to treat the injured with only the most basic means available. It was an impossible situation with massive numbers of dead and wounded being brought in at a terrifying rate.

Israel’s aggression continues. Massacre after massacre, leaving only the screams of mothers in its wake and the dreams of children that have turned to ash. There is no justification for this. Everything is being crushed: the lives of innocent people, their dignity, and their hopes for a better future.

BREAKING: Yuval Abraham, co-director of Oscar-winning documentary "No Other Land," says Israeli settlers beat his co-director Hamdan Ballal, injuring his head and stomach — and then Israeli soldiers invaded the ambulance he was in and seized him.

Ballal's whereabouts are now unknown.

Tweet from Yuval Abraham:
"A group of settlers just lynched Hamdan Ballal, co director of our film no other land. They beat him and he has injuries in his head and stomach, bleeding. Soldiers invaded the ambulance he called, and took him. No sign of him since."

As millions worldwide break their fasts during Ramadan, remember Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank whose spirit remains unbroken. Join millions around the world to pledge to escalate boycotting complicit companies profiting from apartheid and genocide.

Mainstream media acts like the genocide in Gaza is “over.” It is not. And it won’t be as long as the Israeli military continues to enforce its 17-year siege over all of Gaza.

I have seen a lot of depraved things during my time covering politics, but the president of the United States sharing an AI video depicting his plans to turn the site of a genocide into a more garish version of Atlantic City, is up near the top of the list.

A veteran Australian sports journalist, Peter Lalor, was fired for retweeting factual posts about Israel’s assault on Gaza, including a tweet from Jewish human rights lawyer Kenneth Roth, which cited two Israeli historians labeling the actions in Gaza as genocide.
