Socialist internationalist. Looking forward to the restoration of the planet and the passing of the capitalist empire. Free Palestine.
The crude denialism Weiss was publishing just a few months ago now risks reputational damage. That she's scrambling to cover for this is a sign of how even elite opinion now can't ignore the monstrous reality of what Israel is doing.
The price of flour shows the growing hunger crisis in Gaza. Important from @AmitSegal in @TheFP: thefp.com/p/the-price-of…
One side of your family arrived from Argentina in the 1960s with Ukrainian roots. The other came under the Ottomans. Maybe you need to ease up on calling Palestine an “illusionary state” when half your lineage touched down after the Beatles @Gideonsaar2
In England, the vital parts of the left are forming a new party. In the US, the left is collaborating with the imperial party and the debate is over which form of reactionary politics - economic or cultural - to adopt.

"Demilitarisation of Palestine"? As Israel commits genocide in its most sadistic forms, are new conditions being quietly slipped into the defunct peace process? And still no word on justice, accountability, or reparations, without which peace is unacceptable (post-WWII history…
Fidèle à son engagement historique pour une paix juste et durable au Proche-Orient, j’ai décidé que la France reconnaîtra l’État de Palestine. J’en ferai l’annonce solennelle à l’Assemblée générale des Nations unies, au mois de septembre prochain.…
I have never felt so shaken. Children are dying of hunger. Falling one after another, like petals of a dying flower. Under our watch. How do you sleep, Presidents, Foreign Ministers, political leaders, diplomats, civil servants - doing nothing to stop Israel’s starvation…
The sheer intellectual collapse you have to experience to be faced with 122 international aid organisations telling you the same thing... ISRAEL IS STARVING GAZANS... only to decide they are ALL lying & that actually Benjamin Netanyahu, on trial for fraud, is telling the truth.
the BBC, AP, Reuters, AFP, Guardian, New York Times, Washington Post and the rest of the Western media class played the leading role in fabricating and laundering all the genocidal atrocity propaganda hoaxes that ensured the genocide would happen, from the 40 beheaded babies in…
A joint statement on Gaza from AFP, AP, BBC News and Reuters
It had no grace to lose. 17 years of siege, 58 years of occupation, 77 years of Nakba is not justified either. Complicity with the first 20 months of genocide brought us here and acceptance of the Nakba by other means, makes it possible to continue. #Gaza #Nakba #Genocide
Just a reminder that the Biden-Harris administration cut all funding to UNRWA - the only relief agency equipped to distribute food and aid effectively throughout Gaza - in 2024 while Israel was blocking aid trucks from getting into Gaza. The mass starvation is bipartisan.

Imagine creating a situation so bad even American military contractors are disgusted.
New from me: Americans hired to put a non-Israel face on Netanyahu's dystopian aid schemes might end up bringing about the collapse of the whole thing. Another one comes forward, disgusted and horrified with what he saw there: responsiblestatecraft.org/us-contractors…
Gaza is worse than any horror-dystopian movie you can imagine.
!!!!! Israel is flying quadcopters into the tents of starving Palestinians and shooting pregnant women and women breastfeeding their children. This is what the US and Europe have enabled by granting Israel complete impunity.

Many influential individuals will now (or very soon) be quietly deleting their posts and articles on Gaza, terrified of what they've justified. Don't let them erase history. Store all evidence with @archivegenocide
I’m from Pennsylvania where our governor, Josh Shapiro, did a photo op signing bombs intended for Palestinian children but still was considered for Vice President.
Posterity will long wonder how so many people’s minds could have been poisoned by Zionist extremism.
🇩🇪German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock: "We will not be ashamed to target civilians and hospitals as long as it ensures Israel's security." Germany has been colonised.
This is the West. It continues its genocide against the peoples of the global south. Colonialism has not ended, only metamorphosed. Israel’s genocide in Gaza is exceptional in the West, which backs it completely, only in its directness.
NEW: @ceprdc’s @TheLancet study finds unilateral sanctions kill about 564K people annually - that rivals the death toll from armed conflicts. Sanctions are as deadly as war itself. bit.ly/Sanctions_Study
Israel's position now is so desperate, its image so utterly wracked, I fully expect Netanyahu to go to war with Hezbollah or Iran very soon. The walls are closing in, and it's getting harder to breathe. A violent way out, or a temporary reprieve, must seem extremely tempting
