UPDATE: Our ad has been pulled. While the Daily Telegraph and Herald Sun talk about freedom of speech all the time, they've decided that they won't be proceeding with our ad tomorrow.

We still hope they will run our ad at a later date, because we need to broadcast the message, end the genocide!

Een derde van de totale buitenlandse handel van Israël drijft het met de EU. Het gaat om 42,9 miljard euro in 2024, veel meer dan de handel tussen de VS en Israël (31,6 miljard euro). Het is nu tijd het Associatieverdrag tussen de EU en Israël op te schorten.

Dit (in dit geval in @nrc.nl) blijf ik zo ontzettend vreemd en kwalijk vinden. Wanneer verandert "Mensenrechtenorganisaties zeggen dat Israël genocide pleegt" in "Israël pleegt genocide"? Maar echt, wanneer?

Heftig om te zien hoe deze mevrouw de mond grof wordt gesnoerd deze beelden van het Journaal. Het gebeurde ná de minuten stilte en ze staat hier niet in een menigte waar ze de orde verstoord, dus ik snap niet waarom het nodig is. Geldt de vrijheid van meningsuiting dan niet? #dodenherdenking #deDam

Yes! Both risks & stakes are higher: this is the moral question that faces this generation - the question of Palestine is a question of refusing a world order of settler colonialism, genocide & erosion of intn'l law - and the students are not turning away. May they change the course of history.
BREAKING: A new Gaza solidarity encampment is being built at Yale, one year after dozens were arrested here. They demand immediate divestment from Israeli weapons manufacturing.

Despite the Trump admin abducting activists like Mahmoud Khalil nationwide, hundreds of are here anyway.

🧵 While Gaza is being destroyed, Israel’s parliament is quietly advancing apartheid laws against Palestinians — both inside Israel and across occupied Palestine. Here’s what they just did:

Hoe ziet het eruit als de politie je in de gaten houdt? Hier een filmpje van een politiebezoek aan een demonstrant.

Khalil reports from

BREAKING: Hundreds of Jews and allies have taken over Trump Tower chanting “We want justice, you say how. Bring Mahmoud home now!” and “Fight Nazis, not students.”

The civil disobedience is spawned by the ICE arrest of Palestinian student Mahmoud Khalil.

The fight to free Mahmoud Khalil is not merely about preserving First Amendment rights, it is about whether we will allow our government to criminalize resistance to its complicity in human rights abuses and genocide.
