From the River to the Sea collects personal testimonies from within Gaza and the West Bank, along with essays and interviews that collectively provide crucial histories and analyses to help us understand how we got to the nightmarish present.
The movement to boycott, divest from, and sanction Israel is the best way to put our solidarity into action. Click through to read tips on making your BDS campaign a success.
"Israeli attacks on Gaza have not only targeted civilians, but also the infrastructure Palestinians need to survive. At least eight Gaza water utility workers have been killed on the job despite being in clearly marked cars. People in Gaza now have to get water from salty water wells that are functioning at one-tenth capacity.
The situation is far worse in northern Gaza, where resources are more scarce.
Video journalist Bisan Owda shows us how overflowing garbage, sewage and reduced water supply are impacting the health of people in Gaza. Respiratory and skin infections are on the rise because of the destruction of Gazaâs infrastructure."
It's so... I feel like I don't have the right words to describe what's happening. So cruel that it is.
They exist, ofc, but somehow they still feel lacking in description. Genocide. An Holocaust by another name. Final Solution 2.0, just switch up the victim's ethnicity!
Saying these words just don't capture the feeling, tho... :blob_cat_oh_no:
And, assuming we've all been doing our due boycotting (check BDS!), manifs, petitions signing, speaking up, etc., it's so frustrating to see this ramping up instead of stopping.
Especially after the ICJ already told them to! :blob_cat_angry:
I know, I know.. This is what happens when the end to a Genocide is near. It gets worse. It's the pattern. :|
But still, seeing it live online is something people didn't have in the 40s...
All eyes on Rafah on this sleepless night; may Palestine be Free, soon, from the river to the sea. âđ»đ”đž
"Vi som demonstrerar sörjer alla som fallit offer pÄ grund av ockupationen. VÄra judiska vÀnner visar solidaritet, vid vÄr sida. VÄra muslimska vÀnner visar solidaritet, vid vÄr sida. VÄra queera vÀnner visar solidaritet, och varje mÀnniska, barn som vuxen pÄ plats vid demonstrationerna som tror pÄ rÀttvisa, visar solidaritet. Vi talar tydligt om vÄra krav pÄ frihet - vi ropar för eldupphör, ett slut pÄ ockupationen och för ett fritt Palestina."
Notera att redaktören (föga förvÄnande, lÄt oss vara helt Àrliga) klippt bort "Equal rights" frÄn den röda banderollen dÀr det stÄr "From the river to the sea".
Korrekt ordalydelse Àr alltsÄ:
From the river to the sea - Equal rights
it would rather indicatate that you view Jews as indigenous. However, when you write that "No! I don't accept that jews are indigenous!" then your views are almost more consistent.
"The Kingdom has communicated its firm position to the U.S. administration that there will be no diplomatic relations with Israel unless an independent Palestinian state is recognised on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital..."
In dehumanising the Palestinians, #Biden has surpassed Trump
The US presidentâs support for the genocide of the Palestinians is hardly surprising given his countryâs settler-colonial past.
"For Asian Americans, the Oriental became a shadow to dispel, a double to destroy, a name to reject. But if Orientalism provided much of the intellectual energy that drove the growth of Asian American literature and culture, many of us forgot or overlooked that Said was Palestinian and claimed the Palestinian cause as his own."
Muslims were disinvited to a US Democratic campaign event. Not a good look. I wish we had other options for voting. These people want to do a genocide without people yelling at them i guess:(
"CCR has filed [a lawsuit] against President Joe Biden, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin for the support and failure to prevent genocide in Gaza. Arguments will begin next week in federal court in California."
This is The Palestine Pod.
It was a good one, an interview with one of the journalists I frequently link to - hear what's involved in reporting on a genocide, about the Gaza she knows, the meaning of her name and more.
I usually give the spotify link, but they're on YouTube too. https://youtu.be/du_-Wxfl8ek?si=GgRDU66wa9VLx8-B
Breaking | The Red Crescent in #Gaza reports that Israeli forces fired towards Al-Amal Hospital in Khan Yunis, resulting in one fatality and four injuries, including one serious injury, among displaced Palestinians seeking refuge inside the hospital grounds.
An acquaintance of mine had several loved ones arrive yesterday as part of this group. Warmest welcome to everyone who has made it out of Israel so far, and best wishes and safest travels to those still being subjected to this deplorable culmination of decades of oppression at the state of Israelâs hand.
