"It feels as if everything has vanished. Not only the tens of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza erased without graves, without records, as if they had never existed – so many other things have been hollowed out: basic conceptions of morality, decency, compassion, humanity, hope, future."

Disappearing people, disappearing morals – how two years has changed Gaza and Israel | Orly Noy

There can be no healing until the world stares into and acknowledges the void torn open by this conflict, says Israeli journalist Orly Noy

I teach a history of antifascism course @ruhistorydept.bsky.social and figured I'd start an ongoing thread this semester to share some insights from course readings and recommend some great works on antifascism.

Men in balaclavas set fire to a mosque in East Sussex last night. It's only appearing on the BBC's local coverage, rather than its main national headlines, despite coming just a week after the (also under-reported) firebombing of an asylum hotel in London last week

Peacehaven: Fire at East Sussex mosque probed as 'hate crime'

Video appears to show two people in balaclavas at the mosque before a large blaze spreads.

The deliberate and relentless killing of Palestinian journalists is sickening beyond words — and is a desperate attempt to silence the truth about Israel’s ongoing crimes against humanity.

Shame on all those who empowered Israel to murder with impunity.

I'm currently 430 miles from #Gaza. Never in my life have I felt so helpless & sickened to think that there are mothers who look just like me starving with their children. My heart is completely broken 💔

Is this really the world we want to live in?!

All famines are man-made, all famines are political. Historians of empire and humanitarianism have known this forever. Gaza is not starving, Gaza is being starved, by Israel, and this starvation is enabled by our government and by every other government that does not step in to force food and aid.

Watching a whole people starve to death because of Israeli policy and because of the inaction of our government is horrifying, and it is also destroying our souls, not just those of our politicians who could act and don’t, but those of all of us who are forced to watch and do nothing.

There are no words. Only rage. Children turned into skeletal frames before our eyes. Emaciated families in tents. State death by starvation. Bombs dropped on aid seekers. Bullets fired at kids with empty pans. Humanity turned on its head. The world shows its depravity

Gaza faces mass starvation with supplies 'totally depleted', aid agencies warn

Israel denies it is responsible for shortages of food - but aid groups have accused its government of creating "chaos, starvation, and death".

Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn.bsky.social · Jun 25

Today, I asked the Deputy PM if she would support an independent inquiry into the UK's complicity in Israeli war crimes.

She refused to answer.

Just like Iraq, the government is doing everything it can to shield itself from scrutiny. Just like Iraq, it will not succeed in hiding the truth.
