"What’s happening now is more than political. It’s epistemic. It’s a war of narratives deciding who gets to define reality, whose suffering counts, whose voices are amplified."

For decades, Israel dominated the narrative. It set the parameters of discussion and held influence over much of the global media coverage. While that still holds true with the mainstream corporate media in the West, today, young Gazans with no electricity and shattered phones are speaking truths that millions are now hearing. Our narrative is breaking through – unfiltered, raw, undeniable.

And that is one of the most decisive shifts of all.

For colonized people like us, victory was never going to be a knockout punch. We never dreamed of winning in one decisive blow. The imbalance of power is too immense for such fantasies. But if history teaches anything, it’s that those who survive each round – bleeding but upright, sustained by clarity and collective purpose – are often the ones who endure until the final bell.

'...accompanied by violations including the exhumation of graves, the theft and transfer of bodies, and the continued withholding of the remains of detainees who died under torture and inhuman treatment in Israeli custody.

According to data from the National Campaign for the Retrieval of Martyrs’ Bodies, Israel continues to withhold the remains of 726 martyrs in morgues and so-called “cemeteries of numbers”, including 256 buried in these numbered graves. Since Israel resumed this policy in 2015, 469 bodies have been withheld, including those of 67 children, 85 prisoners, and 10 women. Additionally, more than 1,500 bodies of martyrs from Gaza have been held in the “Sde Teiman” military camp since the beginning of the genocidal war in 2023. This points to the systematic and long-term nature of these violations.

this is *appalling* information from aid workers' on UN deputy Suzanna Tkalec's activities

- enabled aid weaponisation
- “consistently manipulated by COGAT”
- aligned w/ Israeli objectives
- "why so many agencies now are unable to deliver”
- "sidelined anyone with a moral compass"
- read on ⤵️

“She (UN DHC Suzanna Tkalec) seems to be subservient, or serving Israeli interests, in various ways,” said one senior aid worker.

“They like her because she provides them with someone to speak to that is not pushing back strongly, if at all… someone that conveys their messages directly to the humanitarian community,” the senior aid worker said. “It was Suzanna that offered them the full package, which was silence and compliance.”

“We all know better. You have to have consent for this,” said a Keck physician who is not involved in the program but brought the documents to Annenberg Media’s attention. The physician, who declined to be identified out of fear of losing their job, said the Navy facility “wasn’t designed or developed to save lives. It was just to desensitize people to the trauma.”

um..guys....

a US firm, hired for $4.1m via IMFA, is targeting Christian communities with a campaign that's explicitly 'anti-Palestinian', includes the “largest Christian Church Geofencing Campaign in U.S. history”, and more

Show Faith’s scope of work blends high-tech targeting with old-fashioned religious outreach.

Campaign documents detail plans for geofencing, a technique to target ads to worshippers’ phones within specific geographical boundaries around churches and Christian campuses in California, Nevada, Arizona and Colorado.

The firm has pledged to recruit pastors to write op-eds and distribute “Pastoral Resource Packages” by mail, to hire social media influencers and produce television-style commercials, and to tour a branded trailer exhibit featuring tents, virtual reality headsets and kiosks designed to immerse audiences in narratives of Israel’s conflict with Hamas for a program that will be called the “October 7th Experience.”

The filings project 47 million ad impressions across display, audio and connected TV channels over the course of a year.

The illegal occupying force of Global Capital (USA and its colonial outposts) will only stop when it is stopped by a coalition of humanity that exists outside its influence. That’s it. How do I know, cause I’ve watched humanity try everything else and fail over and over again my whole life.

MSF staff are universally understood to be engaged in an essentially sacred form of work. For a state to nonetheless continuously murder them is a testament to a truly unthinkable degree of depravity.

msf.org/msf-denounce...

This morning, an attack carried out by Israeli forces killed Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) staff member, Omar Hayek, and seriously injured four others. The attack took place on a street where our teams were waiting to take a bus to the MSF field hospital in Deir al Balah, Gaza.

All staff were wearing MSF vests, clearly identifying them as medical humanitarian workers.
We express deep sorrow and outrage over the killing, which occurs less than two weeks after another MSF colleague, Hussein Alnajjar, was killed by the Israeli forces, in Deir Al Balah.

Our thoughts are with Omar’s family and colleagues at this tragic time. Omar, 42 years old, is the fourteenth MSF colleague to be killed in Gaza since 7 October 2023.

this is correct:

“Even though they’re deceased, they still deserve a level of respect and dignity and proper treatment that we would normally give to the living,” Thomas Champney, an anatomy professor at the University of Miami who researches the ethical use of body donors, said in a March interview.
