She should have turned 8 today. Never forget.

Israel must immediately release the activists it has kidnapped in int'l waters. Persecuting those who oppose Apartheid is part of the crime of Apartheid. Israel won't stop bullying killing and torturing people until it is forced to: Boycott, Divest, Protest, Activate courts now.

Decades of Western-backed impunity for mass murder, occupation and genocide.

There is something profoundly sick here.

I’ll be honest, I’m really confused. I keep seeing the word “Zionism” show up and used in ways that I genuinely didn’t know had anything to do with the word at all? It’s now seemingly being used to describe colonialism, oppression, subjugation, even global manipulation and control. A whole catalogue of ideas that feel vast, loaded, deeply political, and entirely implausible. Yet, when I step back and look at where the word actually comes from, the definition seems surprisingly simple. The term “Zionism” emerged in the late 19th century (ie in the 1800’s). At its origin, it referred to one specific idea: the movement for Jewish self-determination in their ancestral homeland of 3000 years. That’s it. That was the meaning. So I find myself trying to reconcile the two. How does a word that began with such a clear and contained definition, come to carry such a wide and negative set of interpretations? Are any of those meanings rooted in the word itself? Or have they been layered onto it over time, through politics, conflict, agenda and narrative? Because if the same word now holds many very different meanings, then perhaps some of the intensity around it isn’t just about disagreement, but about people using the same word specifically to mean entirely different things. And if that’s the case, then no wonder the conversation feels so fractured and confusing. It may then be that many aren’t arguing about the same idea at all? I certainly can’t follow one term having different meanings, depending on who is using it? It’s unprecedented. And perhaps the most confusing part of all is also this: How such devastating and sweeping accusations can be directed at a tiny people who make up just 0.2% of the global population, and in relation to a country that occupies roughly 0.4% of the Middle East. That, more than anything, is the part I’m also truly battling to understand. It literally makes no sense that this is even a conversation, based on these minute numbers?

'israel' has murdered more journalists than any entity in history. More than in WWI, WWII, the Vietnam War, and the Afghanistan war combined. In 2023, 2024, & 2025, 'israel' was responsible for the vast majority of journalist deaths worldwide. May they rest in eternal peace.

Nayef Samarou had just brought his wife to a Nablus hospital to give birth to their first child. While stepping out to visit a nearby supermarket, he was shot and killed by Israeli terrorist forces.

"He alleges he and his crewmates endured a violent and distressing ordeal during their time in Israeli custody, and says he witnessed at least 10 of his fellow crew members being heavily beaten." abc.net.au/news/2026-05-0…

For those who don't know. Gaza now has the highest rate of children with amputated limbs in all of modern history. Something you stand before with great sadness and shock, not a passing news story.

Israel's mass slaughter in Gaza, enabled by the US, was a moral outrage. And now, as the @nytimes reports, Israel is applying the Gaza model in Lebanon -- and once again we Americans are enabling this moral catastrophe. nytimes.com/interactive/20…

Huge BDS victory on the heels of May Day! BC Nurses Union passes a member-led resolution to no longer invest internal union funds in companies profiting from occupation of Palestine. This come after 2.5 years of organizing by nurses in BC.

@MustafaBarghou1 Does the whole society revere hate?

It is an abomination that Apartheid Israel, while continuing its genocide undisturbed, is allowed to patrol European waters, seize boats, kidnap people. Hostage taking is a crime. Palestinian and @gsflotilla hostages must be released now. European countries: BREAK THE SIEGE

Así dejó "Israel" la cara a 2 activistas que llevaban comida y medicamentos a los niños de Gaza en la flotilla humanitaria Sumud, fueron torturados. El mundo al revés, quién lleva alimentos a niños es tratado como un criminal y quién mata a esos niños es tratado como víctima.

Hussam Ebu Safieh, "İsrail'in rehineler için ölüm cezası" ile öldürülecek olan Filistinli doktorlardan biridir (diğer 95 doktor arasında). Onu öldürmelerine izin verme. Bunu yeniden yayınlayın.

Israel killed Ahmed and his mother Salma in South Lebanon today.

@RWPUSA @BardCollege There’s a document in the files where Epstein gloats to Bannon that Botstein was in his townhouse and describes Botstein as a board member of OSUN. This is when the Israeli consulate was monitoring the comings and goings from the townhouse.
