We are concerned about the levels of Political violence in America. We urge the Americans to resolve their differences peacefully. We will be deploying observers to monitor the volatile situation. All Africans in America should keep in contact with their respective Embassies. We advise Africans to stop traveling to America during this period.

“Why Must Palestinians Audition for Your Empathy?” Please watch this short piece by Hala Alyan. Full Transcript: Have you ever felt like you had to audition for empathy? Like you had to prove that you or your community deserve compassion? In the last few weeks, I’ve watched Palestinians from all walks of life try to prove they deserve humanity. I’ve watched them beg for fair news coverage, get interrupted or silenced on air. I’ve watched them create infographics, summarize history, organize teach-ins to try to earn solidarity for thousands and thousands of dead, innocent civilians. As of this morning, over 10,000. Over 4,000 children killed. An estimated 1,000 more under rubble. I’ve watched the very number of their dead be questioned. I don’t hesitate for a second to condemn the killing of any innocent life, any civilian. This, of course, includes Jewish life. This, of course, includes October 7. It includes every day before that, it includes every day since. Condemning innocent killings is the easiest ask in the world. And that’s exactly why I say: condemn brutal acts, condemn murder, condemn oppression, condemn violence, condemn war crimes, condemn human rights violations, and notice if it feels harder to condemn these things when they happen to certain people, certain lives, certain communities. The reality is we are all brought up within narratives about the world and our place in it. None of us are immune to that. Our responsibility is to hold those narratives up to the light, to interrogate them, to see where we might be often unintentionally, often subconsciously, engaging in the dehumanization of other people. What do you believe about who deserves to be protected? Who deserves to be mourned? Who deserves to be believed? Whose deaths, whose loses, whose griefs are framed in passive language spoken of as inevitable, seen as necessary or permissible? The task of radical empathy is to sit with these questions both for ourselves and for people with less power and agency than us. It’s difficult work for all of us but more necessary than ever.

The world is failing. I told the @BBCNews. I am saying it again. The world is failing humanity. #Jabalia_Massacre #Gaza_under_attack

Israel, Palestine & the media

"I’m personally a Holocaust survivor as an infant, I barely survived. My grandparents were killed in Aushwitz and most of my extended family were killed. I became a Zionist; this dream of the Jewish people resurrected in their historical homeland and the barbed wire of Aushwitz being replaced by the boundaries of a Jewish state with a powerful army…and then I found out that it wasn’t exactly like that, that in order to make this Jewish dream a reality we had to visit a nightmare on the local population. There’s no way you could have ever created a Jewish state without oppressing and expelling the local population. Jewish Israeli historians have shown without a doubt that the expulsion of Palestinians was persistent, pervasive, cruel, murderous and with deliberate intent - that’s what’s called the 'Nakba' in Arabic; the 'disaster' or the 'catastrophe'. There’s a law that you cannot deny the Holocaust, but in Israel you’re not allowed to mention the Nakba, even though it’s at the very basis of the foundation of Israel. I visited the Occupied Territories (West Bank) during the first intifada. I cried every day for two weeks at what I saw; the brutality of the occupation, the petty harassment, the murderousness of it, the cutting down of Palestinian olive groves, the denial of water rights, the humiliations...and this went on, and now it’s much worse than it was then. It’s the longest ethnic cleansing operation in the 20th and 21st century. I could land in Tel Aviv tomorrow and demand citizenship but my Palestinian friend in Vancouver, who was born in Jerusalem, can’t even visit! So then you have these miserable people packed into this, horrible…people call it an 'outdoor prison', which is what it is. You don’t have to support Hamas policies to stand up for Palestinian rights, that’s a complete falsity. You think the worse thing you can say about Hamas, multiply it by a thousand times, and it still will not meet the Israeli repression and killing and dispossession of Palestinians. And 'anybody who criticises Israel is an anti-Semite' is simply an egregious attempt to intimidate good non-Jews who are willing to stand up for what is true."

Gaza has no power or fuel. Hospitals can’t function. Journalists can’t report. Families can’t connect. Vehicles can’t move. Excavators can’t rescue living children buried under rubble. All this with no water or food. Just nonstop indiscriminate bombing. “Never again.” Shame.

Tony Blair’s sister-in-law is more accurate & honest on Palestine in two minutes than he has been his whole life

🇵🇸🇮🇱 Hind Hassan explains the reality of life in Gaza.

Victoria Derbyshire: You do have to acknowledge the barbarity of the attack on Israelis.. before this can move forward Hanan Ashrawi(Palestinian politician): "I can't believe I'm hearing the same thing over & over again.. Israel has been doing this to us for decades" #bbclaurak

I’m constantly in awe of more and more Palestinians refusing misleading framings from mainstream media. This @Yaraeid_ interview on Sky News is an absolute must-see.

Social media is flooded with stories like these, but they are not filtering through to the media at all. Palestinians remain faceless, nameless statistics, and not grieving, broken humans.

When someone says to me that I look tired, I feel nothing but shame. This is what tired looks like. I cannot imagine what it’s like to be a doctor or nurse in Gaza under these conditions. Then to find your kids amongst the dead. I’m so sorry. You are our heroes.

Dear world, Israel just bombed a Christian hospital in Gaza and murdered over 500 Palestinian civilians. White phosphorus chemical bombs confirmed by human rights watch was not enough to open your eyes. Over 1000 dead children wasn’t enough. Will you open your eyes and act now?
