Thanks to Musk’s “reforms”, my TL is clogged with misinformation, ads, obvious bots & posts clearly intended to enrage me (thus provoking engagement). While I still ❤️ so much of what u good folks post, being on here’s gotten 2 stressful/annoying, so I’m off till things improve..

Many British politicians now backtracking from their statements supporting Israel’s right to deny water and electricity to civilians. The new position is they think international law should be upheld. Worth noting that the blockade of Gaza is illegal under international law, as is the occupation in general, and has been condemned as such by countless UN resolutions

Humans can only survive without water for about 3 days. Gaza has run dry. The blockade on water, food, and electricity is an indiscriminate, collective punishment and a crime. It is cruel and unjust. To save millions of people in Gaza - nearly half children - it must end. Now.

Urgent: Water has now run out in Gaza according to the UN “It has become a matter of life and death”. 2 million people at risk. Statement below 👇🏼

Repressive regimes claim that references to international law and the “rules based order” are simply cudgels for the West to use against adversaries while giving friends a pass. The US and European response to Israel’s assault on Gaza is proving them right. Disgraceful.

Ireland's centre-right party is to the left of Keir Starmer's Labour. Varadkar knows that what's coming is utterly indefensible.

Taoiseach says Israeli actions in Gaza 'not acceptable' Speaking to @MiriamOCal, Mr Varadkar said "Israel is under threat. They do have a right to defend themselves, but they don't have the right to breach international humanitarian law." READ: rte.ie/news/primetime… #rtept

My play ‘And Here I Am’, about the life of Palestinian actor Ahmed Tobasi, has been banned in Paris. What happened to liberté, égalité, fraternité?
ArabLit & ArabLit Quarterly @arablit.bsky.social@arablit

The mayor of Choisy-le-Roi stops a showing of the play "And here I am," written by by @abdulrazzak, based around the coming-of-age story of actor-director Ahmed Tobasi, born in Jenin during the first intifada. It is still scheduled for Bordeaux, Lyon, Marseille, Bastia, Amiens.
