What's a video that defines Peak Woke?
At least 15 cases of sexual assaults, including rape. Shot with rubber bullets at close range. Tens of people’s bones broken. 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. Don’t let up. Statements of condemnation are not enough. This moment must be seized by people worldwide to apply the necessary pressure to end this colonial violence. Pressure officials. Escalate boycott and divestment tactics. Organize direct action. “Please, if this can be a lightning rod moment, let it be that … join us wherever you are and rise up so that we can end this occupation, end this colonialism, end this violence.” Free Palestine NOW.
A Global Sumud Flotilla participant just testified from the depths of an Israeli detention center "I was illegally kidnapped by Israel - like 425 other people." "Handcuffs on my hands and feet. Dragged me. When I couldn't walk, they dragged me on the ground." "They hit us. Hurt all of us a lot. Handcuffs so tight my hands lost feeling." "They laughed all the time. Super sadistic." "Took off my shirt. Took pictures. Mistreated us all night long." Then she delivered her message to the world: "Shame on you. Shame on all of you. Shame on every government that keeps trading with Israel. My government is complicit. Europe is complicit. The whole world is complicit."
“If I lived in Texas, these mosques, they don’t need your approval. Burn ‘em to the f***ing ground” Jake Lang said in Texas on Tuesday during a Frisco City Council meeting
The outpouring of support, generosity, and solidarity across the globe has been tremendous. The following is a statement from Imam Taha and the Board of the @IslamicCenterSD: Our fundraiser has always been intended for all three families — Amin Abdullah, Nader Awad, and Mansour Kaziha. Our campaign page included this from the start in a disclaimer. We waited for family confirmation before making it more explicit — out of respect during this painful time. We now have that confirmation. We have updated our campaign to make clear what was always our intention: equal support for all three families. We grieve with all three. We stand with all three. Imam Taha and the ICSD Board
