A month ago, the famine in Gaza, deliberately created by the Israeli government, was officially confirmed by UN agencies. Since then, there has been an eerie silence in the media here, with far fewer reports than there were before. But it hasn't ended. On the contrary, it has intensified.

I started reading this earlier at the doctor's office, but then got home, & other priorities took precedence. Given how demoralized I feel, I am returning to it and hoping that posting quotes that resonate as I go may help me with finishing it. Channeling my past self, who read 450+ books in 2017! 🥹

Not a mistake. Not a “tragic mishap.” This is a policy of destruction and annihilation of Palestinian life across the Gaza Strip that’s been happening for almost two years now. END THE HORRORS NOW.
BREAKING: The Israeli military says its strike on a Gaza hospital that killed 20 people, including five journalists, was aimed at what it believed was a Hamas camera.

Not coincidentally, the Panthers were also one of the few major left organizations in the homophobia-laden '60s/'70s to openly support the Stonewall riots and the ensuing queer liberation movements.
In 1977, Disabled activists occupied the Federal Building in San Francisco to demand the passage of Section 504— legislation to protect against disability discrimination.When the building was cordoned off, in an effort to starve activists out, The Black Panthers *Broke In* to deliver them hot meals.
