If you're anti-racist in the West but silent on Zionism, you're missing the point. The Israeli state is a project of global white supremacy. Making this central to our message isn't 'radical'—it’s a historical fact. Palestinian liberation is a racial justice struggle.

An Israeli soldier is killed, so they bomb civilians and children. This is the very definition of war criminality. #gazagenocide

On this "No Kings" Day, it's worth considering that, whether because of human nature or the centralizing character of all systems, power seeks more power, and authority breeds authoritarianism, unless power is purposely dispersed and limited. #nokings

Israel must be watched carefully after any ceasefire agreement with #Gaza. They've already repeatedly broken the ceasefire with Lebanon, killing people and destroying property.

We are horrified and saddened by the death of our colleague Hussein Alnajjar who died yesterday in #Gaza.
His death was due to shrapnel injuries caused by an Israeli airstrike near his tent five days earlier.

If the Vatican had bombed and destroyed 90% of Rome and was blockading and starving its people, we would expect Catholics worldwide to denounce this and put pressure on their co-religionists.
So why do people get upset when one expects Jewish people worldwide to denounce the genocide by Israel?

Without urgent, radical intervention, #Gaza faces total annihilation.
We call for an immediate end to evacuation orders used as a tool of forcible displacement, a lasting ceasefire and the unrestricted entry of humanitarian aid at scale.
