It was a moment to hold in my soul, not just a series of images. And to my children, I said every time you see me touch my heart it is also for you. It is from parenthood and childhood that this moment comes. We cannot have another generation of this violence and this injustice. We must do the hard work for it to end. #PermanentCeasefire #CeasefireNow

No words. Such is the culture of impunity.
Quds News Network@QudsNen

Recently, Israeli forces subjected a one-year-old child to abuse to pressure his father into giving confessions east of Al-Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza, according to local and family sources. The child's father, Osama Abu Nassar, suffered psychological trauma after the death of a horse he used for income. While taking his child to buy supplies a few days ago, he was caught in gunfire near his home and forced by soldiers to leave his 18-month-old son on the ground and approach the Israeli checkpoint, where he was stripped of his clothes. According to witnesses, the army then took the child and interrogated the father at the checkpoint. The forces tortured the child in front of his father, including burning with cigarettes on his leg, pricking, and inserting a metal nail into his leg, as confirmed by a medical report. The child, Karim, was released after 10 hours and handed over to his family through the International Red Cross, while the father remains in detention. 📷 Osama Al-Kahlout

Abdalla’s work, the memory of dear Hrant Dink, and literature on contentious politics and authoritarian resilience to think about how change accumulates quietly, unevenly, and over time. I’d be interested to hear how others are thinking about protest, survival, and solidarity right now. open.substack.com/pub/ezgibasara…

Moving between Tahrir, Palestine, and Iran, I want to reflect on revolutions without revolutionaries, on everyday resistance under repression, and on why framing protests in terms of success or failure often misses the point.

🙏🙏🙏 If you do anything worthwhile this Christmas, make sure it’s buying this song for the Palestinians 😭💪💪💪🇵🇸
Khalid Abdalla@khalidabdalla

Together we can make history, and make this beautiful reimagining of the Palestinian Lullaby, Yamma Mwel El Hawa Christmas #1. We need to make sure the world remembers Gaza this Christmas, and that occupied Bethlehem is in Palestine, calling to be free. To get to Christmas #1 we need 100k people across the UK to buy and download the single by midnight on 18 December. A fraction of the number of people who have been on protests over these past two years. So we can do this. The track costs less than £2. Head to togetherforpalestine.org, follow the links and PRE-ORDER NOW. All profits will go to the Together for Palestine Fund which is held by @chooselove to support Palestinian-led organisations: @taawonpalestine, @thepcrf and @palestinianmedicalreliefsoc.. The song has been made by a star-studded group of British and Palestinian musicians - Brian Eno, Nai Barghouti, Celeste, Dan Smith (Bastille), Leigh-Anne, Mabel, Neneh Cherry, TYSON, Lana Lubany, Peter Gabriel and more. The aim: to raise vital funds for Gaza’s children and families and reach Christmas #1. I had the honour of introducing the world premiere of the song yesterday @PSCupdates protest.

BREAKING: A new UN report finds that Israel’s assault on Gaza - with the destruction of health care, education, infrastructure, even the banking system - has erased 69 years of human development, marking the worst economic collapse ever recorded. This is not war: it is genocide.

On the “ceasefire”, why this moment hurts, dehumanisation, and where I find hope. Speech given @counterfireorg on Sunday 23 November. The death toll has since risen to at least 345.

Our analysis of the ceasefire in maps: frames.forensic-architecture.org/gaza/ceasefire
Forensic Architecture tweet mediaForensic Architecture tweet mediaForensic Architecture tweet mediaForensic Architecture tweet media
Forensic Architecture@ForensicArchi

Gaza after the ceasefire is defined by the ‘yellow line’ — drawn by Israel, and dividing the strip in two. 54% of Gaza is now inaccessible to its population; Palestinians approaching or crossing the line from west to east are met with lethal force. Meanwhile, Israel continues to attack civilians and buildings west of the line, such that nowhere in Gaza is safe. Our evidence suggests that Israel seeks to make the ‘yellow line’ permanent, as ‘reconstruction’ plans normalise this new stage of Israel’s occupation: frames.forensic-architecture.org/gaza/ceasefire

A great has passed. Homayoun Ershadi, my father in The Kite Runner, a magnificent soul who touched so many millions of people around the world. I am so sad to hear of your passing. What an honour to have worked with you, and to be able to recall and cherish your voice and energy and humour. It is a very special bond when someone plays your father in film. It certainly was for me. In the photo of us together, I know exactly what he’s saying - This is my son. He’s like my son. What a special bond that film created for us, before the world wrote us into other stories. My condolences to his family and friends, and all those whose lives he touched. If you don’t know him, please search out his films. His first was with Abbas Kiarostami, who spotted him at a traffic light in his Land Rover smoking one of his Bahman cigarettes, and asked him to do a screen test for what became The Taste of Cherry. The first of these images. His soul in that film is at the heart of the Palme d’Or the film won.

🚨BREAKING🚨 Al Mezan's lawyer just confirmed that an Israeli court has rubberstamped the extension of Dr. Abu Safiya's arbitrary detention for 6 more months. This decision strips away any pretense: Dr. Abu Safiya is a hostage, a bargaining chip in ongoing negotiations.
