Longshore workers in Barcelona, Spain, announced on Monday that they would refuse to handle cargo ships that contain war material in order to “protect civilian population[s]" bit.ly/473rElV

Don't forget that the other end of this supply chain is dead bodies. This is really important solidarity work.

Hey do you need to watch some beautiful people shove OPD pigs back through a gate today? Yes. Yes you do

This is what they did to Dublin and Cork

This image has gone viral in pro-Isreal circles, claiming to show a fake Palestinian corpse caught texting on his phone. Let's go through the image verification process step-by-step, using Google's reverse image search. Where does the photo come from and what's the context?

"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."

Direct action is boycotting Israeli companies. Direct action is solidarity strikes. Direct action is blocking ports, railways, fuel depots, airports.

So how can we help? The Palestinian people are relying on us to exert pressure in our home countries to sever the life-lines sustaining Israel. Stop wasting your time contacting your rep in govt. Stop endlessly consuming digital trauma. Take direct action now!

If you’re watching this apocalyptic genocide unfold before your eyes and you feel powerless to stop it, please read. 🧵

If people wanna know what I've been doing lately, the answer is: my best-- to bridge rifts and gaps left by pandemic era isolation to acclimate to lots of people and stimulus after years of interfacing with plants to do hold onto hope and a fighting spirit.

implicit to DEI is the idea that white supremacy isn’t intrinsic to relations under capitalism, the idea that there can be anti-racist capitalism. not only is DEI not the opposite of white supremacy; it exists to sustain it.

my message to american jews right now who are afraid for their safety because of pro-palestine protests: get a hold of yourself and grow up, you weird ass delusional baby-brained losers. replace your paranoia with a conscience and stand with gaza.
