Criticism of biased media coverage of Gaza is often discarded as baseless..

so we set out to study the coverage of Palestinian and Israeli victims by German press systematically!

The resulting study 'Hierarchies in Death' was just published #OA by Peacebuilding www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Global Sumud Flotilla is live as Israel threatens to stop them from breaking the starvation siege of Gaza.

A reminder that they are not entering Israeli waters, but Palestinian waters.

Israel intends to violate international law once again.

“There is a deep cruelty in psychoanalysis, one that does not sit well with Marxist politics. There is a cruelty in asserting that there is no escape from ambivalence (…) Nowhere is this problem more evident than in the colonial context.“ Nadia Bou Ali

„All Eyes on Gaza“: 100.000 gegen den Genozid

Es ist wichtig, heute gemeinsam gegen Genozid auf die Straße zu gehen denn die Stärke von Widerstand liegt darin, Konflikte als grundlegenden Bestandteil von Bewegungen zu akzeptieren. Solidarität heißt dann, Differenzen aushalten zu lernen und Verantwortung für eigenes (Nicht)Handeln zu übernehmen
amnesty.de
📢 HEUTE in #Berlin: #AllEyesOnGaza - Stoppt den Genozid

Kommt mit uns auf die Straße, setzt euch ein für ein Ende des Tötens in #Gaza und für die Rechte der Palästinenser*innen!
All Eyes on Gaza - Kundgebung und Konzert mit KIZ, Pashanim, Ebow und weiteren Künstler*innen. 27. September, ab 17 Uhr, Großer Stern, Berlin

Assata Shakur joins the ancestors a free woman. She did not die bound by the carceral system and she did not pass away living in a land that never respected or accepted her.

Assata taught us that liberation can not be bargained for, it must be taken.

Rest Free, Assata.

People in palestine are bracing for greater crackdown as Israel punishes them for statehood recognition by UK, Canada, & Australia.

As I, and many others, have pointed out - these proclamations of recognition do nothing to stop the violence.

6/ Building on Davis and Jackson, Alberto Toscano sees fascism without fascists — embedded in policing, prisons, citizenship — as the recurring counter-revolution against what Du Bois called “abolition democracy.” Or, as Marjorie McKenzie warned in 1945: a “heritage of Fascists without labels.”
The Long Shadow of Racial Fascism - Boston Review
A debate is roiling about the aptness of comparing Trump to European fascists. But radical Black thinkers have long argued that racial slavery created its own unique form of American fascism.

My column in the new issue of @thenation.com, in which I argue that liberals who are finally acknowledging that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza must atone for nearly two years of complicity.
To Those Who Have Just Awakened to the Horrors in Gaza
Yes, we should welcome the latecomers to the fight against genocide, but there also needs to be accountability.

It's been one year since the pagers attack.

It was a horrible day that signaled the intensification of Israel's bombing campaign on Lebanon (ongoing in south Lebanon until now). And even worse was traveling outside Lebanon & hearing westerners express how impressed they were by its sophistication.

Hunger ist keine Panne! Wer über #Gaza spricht, darf Israels Absichten nicht ignorieren.

Für das IPG Journal habe ich über Israels Einsatz von Hunger als Kriegswaffe und die Inkonsistenzen derer geschrieben, die dieses Kriegsverbrechen leugnen.

I just finished Le Guin’s The Word for World is Forest, and this one will stay with me. Le Guin dares to name violences many would leave unsaid. In it, dreaming becomes a site of resistance and meaning and while reading, I sometimes felt my own dreams grow more vivid too

"“We particularly chose, as the South African delegation, to join the Global Sumud Flotilla here in Tunisia from an African point to say Africa is part of this struggle,” Mandla Mandela told journalists in Tunis."
