Palestinians hold deep skepticism of courts based on generations of Israeli abuse. But the ICC warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant are a moment to expose the contradictions of the American Empire and put a crack in the veneer of impunity.

Hamra, Beirut where last night’s Israeli strike took place hours before the ceasefire. Looks like it hit a currency exchange shop.

Many displaced families in the commercial neighborhood have already packed up to return to southern Lebanon and Beirut southern suburbs.

Our lives have been a one long intractable war interrupted by short intervals of ceasefires and not the other way around. We will never know peace until liberation from Israel‘s oppression and domination.

Amidst talks of an imminent ceasefire, Israel just bombed Beirut. They have now issued multiple threats again, this time in Haret Hreik and Burj Barajneh. #Lebanon

Favorite this if it’s your first time following Mondoweiss. Repost it if you’ve known about us before. We’re trying to see something. ✊ Free Palestine! 🇵🇸

Powerful speech by Nan Goldin in #Germany denouncing the government’s weaponisation of antisemitism as a tool to silence opposition to #Israel ‘s #genocide in #Gaza and its bombings of #Lebanon.

“What has Germany learned?”

This is the musical arm of the e/acc movement, it’s apocalyptic kleptocracy in aims of an accelerated downfall to further fund more profitable surveillance miltech and using AI to deny ppl healthcare, much like Daniel Ek’s other startup ventures. You need to grasp there is no apolitical media now.

stories about bicycles as a vehicle for resistance

the bicycle has always been a symbol of resistance to me when it comes to living in a very car-centric city; the roads and to some degree the wider public can be hostile against the presence of someone on a bicycle
