Alongside @weizman_eyal, I won't participate in the #HayFestival because of @Airbnb being their main sponsor. Profiting from illegal settlements, advertising properties built on stolen land makes Airbnb not ''just a sponsor''. We must stop normalising Apartheid with a click!

TEN GLOBAL SUMUD LAND CONVOY PARTICIPANTS HAVE BEEN DETAINED IN EASTERN LIBYA. They crossed into the 5+5 security zone yesterday afternoon to negotiate safe passage for our humanitarian mission to Gaza. Last contact was at 3:22 p.m. local time. They have not been heard from since. The detained are civilians from Spain, Poland, the USA, Argentina, Uruguay, Portugal, Tunisia, and Italy—doctors and human rights defenders who volunteered to deliver aid and stand with the Palestinian people. They were detained by a security force affiliated with the Libyan Arab Armed Forces (LAAF) and are still being held by Eastern Libyan authorities (GNS). If you are from any of these countries: contact your foreign ministry now and demand their immediate release. 🇪🇸 🇵🇱 🇺🇸 🇦🇷 🇺🇾 🇵🇹 🇹🇳 🇮🇹

In late March, I had the privilege of speaking to Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn in Havana. He reflected on why we must support Cuba, why Trump hates them and the real threat they pose, which is showing that another world is possible. #letCubaLive youtube.com/watch?v=Xg9n63…

The Gaza blockade is extraordinarily criminal: a form of collective punishment, it is a war crime in itself, and the enclosure behind which genocide has unfolded. Cooperating with Israel under these conditions may entail complicity. All this must end and be accounted for.

An Israeli strike captured on camera has killed three paramedics in Lebanon. Just 12 hours earlier, four other medics were killed. Sky's @AlexCrawfordSky reports trib.al/B9TiHnU

if i was the party who appointed the best friend of the world’s most famous paedophile to represent britain in our most senior diplomatic role id probably sit this one out

'The pain was excruciating' Scottish Global Sumud Flotilla activist Hughie Stirling recalls the horrific treatment he was subject to while being held in Israeli detention

Danish #GlobalSumudFlotilla activist arrives home; 🗣 Some people say you knew Israel would stop you... why did you go? 🎤 "The politicians — and you as well (the journalists), we go there because you are not doing your jobs properly." The world over!

How Israel 🇮🇱 treats the kidnapped peace activists: • 180 on a ‘prison boat’ • 40 with broken ribs • 12 sexually assaulted • Tasers in the face “We were tortured” A humanitarian mission to break an illegal siege of Gaza 🇵🇸 Israel 🇮🇱 is a pariah Expel 🇮🇱 from the UN now.

This is the moment Hughie Stirling, a 68-year-old activist from Ullapool, arrives home after being kidnapped by Israel while taking part in the Global Sumud Flotilla 👇

Shame on the Basque police @ertzaintzaEJGV for brutalising Flotilla members returning home after being abducted, unlawfully detained and ill-treated by Israel. May those responsible be held accountable. We must resist the Israelisation of our societies.

Dutch crew member of the Gaza humanitarian flotilla, Jesse, recently detained in Israel’s Ktziot prison, returned home today and said her “heart broke not once, but a hundred times” over what she witnessed inside the Israeli prison. She recounted one message scrawled in Arabic on a prison cell wall that stayed with her: “If the world knew what was going on here, the world wouldn’t just cry with tears, but with blood.”

Hoy entregamos 15000 toneladas de arroz, primer lote del proyecto donativo de 60 mil toneladas de ayuda de emergencia a #Cuba, lo cual muestra una vez mas la fraternidad y solidaridad entre #China y Cuba. @polivaoscar @BetsyDazVelzqu2 @Deb_invexCuba @cmphcuba

No amount of Israeli gaslighting is going to make this story go away. Systemic sexual abuse of Palestinian detainees has been reported for decades. Kudos to @NickKristof and @nytimes for having the principled courage to report it.

The New York Times rightly stands behind @NickKristof 's careful and accurate account of Israel's systematic sexual assault of Palestinian prisoners. trib.al/QDq4Fon

Wanna know why Basque police beat @gbsumudflotilla torture survivors? These are the same cops who've taken €1.6M in Israeli security contracts, trained by former Mossad agents, and equipped with Israeli surveillance tech. READ MY LATEST: substacktools.com/sharex/Yw2pN8Y8

Harrowing testimony of Australian filmmaker Juliet Lamont, kidnapped by the israelis on the @gbsumudflotilla, battered & sexually assaulted

A group of Australian citizens were kidnapped on international waters and beaten senseless on camera by their captors - Israel The most prominent Israel advocate in Australia - Jillian Segal - has so far said nothing about the welfare of her fellow Australian citizens nor condemned this atrocious abuse of human rights and brutality by her home state of Israel Jillian Segal is an employee of the Australian people charged with promoting "social cohesion" and her silence on this blatant Israeli abuse of her fellow Australians is a disgrace to these abused citizens and to the Australian taxpayers who fund her

huffpost.com/entry/released… “At least 15 cases of sexual assaults, including rape. Shot with rubber bullets at close range. Tens of people’s bones broken,” organizers of the Global SumudFlotilla posted on the Telegram social media app. “While the world’s eye is trained on the suffering of our participants, we cannot emphasize enough that this is a mere glimpse of the brutality Israel imposes daily on Palestinian hostages.”

OUTRAGEOUS! In front of their families and the entire Basque press, our Flotilla volunteers were attacked by the airport police in Bilbao, Basque Country-Spain, upon returning to their home country.
