This Sunday, racist opponents are holding a "Never Again Is Now" rally in solidarity with the Zionist entity currently enacting genocide in Palestine. Politicians addressing the rally will reiterate that they stand with Israel while it drops bombs over Gaza.
Western nations failed to prevent the Holocaust and "again" are failing to prevent the systemised torture, starvation and mass murder of a people.
We must directly counter Zionism, fascism and the political forces that express support for genocide and racism in society.
Zionism is a racist, colonial ideology. As Jews and Palestinians, we stand against all forms of racism and all colonial, imperial violence justified through dehumanisation and hate and allowed to be mainstream.
Join the counter counter protest to the Free Palestine rallies, to say that today, "never again" includes Gaza.
Never again means respecting the memory and lessons of the Holocaust.
The crippled soldier from the Pacific war tells my brother: “Get used to your color the way I got used to my stump. We are both casualties.” Yet, with all my being, I refuse to accept this amputation. I feel my soul as vast as the world, truly a soul as deep as the deepest of rivers; my chest has the power to expand to infinity.
The residential neighbourhood was completely destroyed with our second apartment.
the moment when Six bombs fell, a family's demise, Dreams extinguished, In shattered fragments, souls erased ,Silent echoes in the void remain, After this incident, I became responsible for my sisters because we had no home or relatives left to help us, while being here in Germany I'm not able to do anything to get them in safe place or out of Gaza ,
Especially because of the difficult conditions they are living in now. They were displaced to Rafah and live there alone , and suffer from a lack of food, drink, health and hygiene supplies.
I cannot imagine what they are going through now, especially since they are girls alone without a brother or father to bring them their basic needs, not to mention the high prices of food, water and the lack of money
Because what is left of my family are my Sisters as there is no hope left to continue life under these difficult circumstances in Gaza anymore .Especially after we lost our parents, our houses were completely destroyed, our source of livelihood, and literally everything.
The goal for my campaign is to get them out of Gaza through the Egyptian border, pay for their visas and passports, and have a amount of money for Medical and psychological treatment after or during the war.
I'm assuring that 100% of the donations will be used for helping them get out of Gaza or in any way to alleviate this tragedy. We have lost a lot and we hope for help
June 1 will mark five months in office for Louisiana’s far-right governor, Jeff Landry. In this short amount of time, he and the Republican supermajority state legislature have unleashed a barrage of attacks on the state’s working-class and oppressed people.
At this point, the anti-Landry movement has yet to fully flower, but the potential is there. Various organizations are keeping up the pressure. And the huge Palestine solidarity movement has kept people marching in the streets of the greater New Orleans area and in Baton Rouge, showing that the will to resist is strong.
Just a reminder for people who may not know, in light of protestors at UCLA being shot in the face with rubber bullets— rubber bullets are not bullets made of rubber. They are metal bullets encased in rubber.
Despite being called “non-lethal” or sometimes “less lethal”, they are well known to cause death and permanent disability.
Here’s a photo showing their size— these are actual rubber bullets used during the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020.
Do not let them downplay the severity of what they are subjecting this students to for standing against genocide. Stay safe and stay educated.
EDIT: Twitter banned @/nosferatusexgod, the student shot, whose tweet I linked to (as a primary source) at the top of the post. Screenshots of the tweet I originally linked to can be found here.
“You simply cannot fit more America into a single incident than a man dying a horrifying death in protest of war crimes while a first responder screams at cops to stop pointing their guns at him and go get fire extinguishers. If you were to pick a single moment in history to sum up the essence and expression of the US empire, that would be it.”
Caitlin Johnstone, The Most American Thing That Has Ever Happened
This elderly woman was one of the leaders of demonstrations against the Vietnam War in 1968, when she was a student at Columbia University. Today, 56 years later, she returns to the same place and says, "Palestine must be free."
When the rest of the world looks at the united states right now, we see a government who sends billions to support genocide but cannot help their own people starving on the streets.
We see a police force who won't go in to save children from school shootings, but deploy at a rapid rate to arrest peaceful protestors using their right to free speech to protest a genocide
America, you are a war mongering snake eating your own tail. You will protect and support war criminals in another country but let your own people starve and die
To the students bravely protesting now, we see your strength. We see what we saw when students protested the Vietnam War. We have faith you will prevail
