It’s never been more urgent to demand that the US government stop sending weapons to the Israeli military. Take action: jvp.org/stopgenocidewr…

Israel told the world that displaced Palestinians in Rafah would be safe. Israel lied. Tonight, Israel is burning entire families alive—among them babies. It is an unspeakable massacre. Sanctions and arms embargoes on Israel now. No more hollow statements and condemnations.

We have to give credit to our South African brothers, sisters, and cousins. They voted today. Julius Malema and other opposition candidates weren’t arrested (and won't be). The internet wasn’t cut off. Pro-Ramaphosa Police and Army didn’t carry off ballot boxes to go and stuff

Kudos to #Spain for joining #SouthAfrica's genocide case against Israel at the CIJ_ICJ. I hope this marks the beginning of more Western countries taking similar actions. It’s not too late to stand on the right side of history. Words of condemnation are meaningless without

Whistleblowers at CNN & BBC only verify what so many of us have been privy to in newsrooms. The Palestine exception has always been there, just never as blatant as in the last year. Western media is 100% complicit in this genocide & can be held accountable.

A few decades too late to monitor illegal land and farm seizures in South Africa. But, if monitoring land seizure is your new thing, I suggest you look at Gaza.

ā€œConventional wisdomā€ wants us to see Iran as the irrational authoritarian regime that can’t be trusted with nukes, and Israel as the moral Western liberal democracy that can. But Israel has unlawfully attacked Iranian territory / diplomatic premises 4 times in 5 years.

The US and Israel’s bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities is a flagrant violation of international law. Even more disturbing is the gaslighting from Trump, threatening further strikes ā€œif Iran doesn’t make peaceā€, when Iran is not the aggressor here.
