One of the things about people showing up to protest for the first time, that many, many armchair theorists don't grasp, is the effect of seeing what happens with your own eyes, then seeing how media covers it, and what is said ABOUT YOU by media and political personalities/office holders.

Last year's arrest of Mahmoud Khalil was more than just a chilling act of political repression, it was an attack on all of our constitutional rights. Now, as the crackdown on pro-Palestinian free speech continues, Mahmoud is being threatened with rearrest. Mahmoud is free—and must remain free.

When people dumb down the intricacies of the US-ISR relationship (which is often symbiotic in its colonial attitude towards people across MENA) they miss out on some really comical stuff, like a US Senator who wants to bomb Iran so bad that he's going to Israel to ask Israel to ask Trump to do it

!["Inside this [Yellow Line]... responsibility for killing shifts to the victim, punished for returning to their own neighborhood" (Euro Med Human Rights Monitor)
In December, three-year-old Ahed al-Bayok was reportedly shot and killed by Israeli forces in al-Mawasi near Khan Younis, on the Gaza side of the Yellow Line. Within the same hour, the Israeli military claimed its soldiers had “identified a terrorist who crossed the Yellow Line.” Whether this statement referred to the toddler remains unclear; however, similar language has repeatedly been used by the Israeli military following its shooting of Palestinian children.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:yc5zg5tae62twih5lwp34f6o/bafkreicdkxch4vmmfp3c4jfvt52ntocenrbvpwwlw7rg6676p5s2er56ku@jpeg)

Instead of withdrawing from Gaza, Israel has imposed a so-called "Yellow-Line," leaving its military occupying 58% of Gaza and forcibly confining Palestinians to the remaining 42 percent. This largely unmarked and lethal boundary functions as de facto annexation... 1/3

The Freedom Flotilla will sail again in 2026. Civil society will not stand by while Gaza is strangled and annihilated. We are preparing more vessels, more international participation and more coordinated actions than ever before to #BreakTheSiege of Gaza.
