essa história do Trump com a "Riviera de Gaza" não é a primeira vez que falam em transformar território tomado dos palestinos em balneário. e da outra vez, deu certo.

Visitamos o local de massacre palestino que Israel transformou em balneário

Hoje, turistas passeiam sobre o que foi um vilarejo de palestinos massacrados em 1948. É um “genocídio contínuo”, diz filha de sobrevivente.

one of my most durable political lessons out of Occupy is: not only is it a bad look to instruct people at protests you are not part what to do based on posts online, it’s bad tactics to order around people with local experience and who are doing countless things you won’t know about from posts

This very very very bad. I cannot stress this enough. I said that they crossed the Rubicon with arresting Ras Baraka several months ago. This is very bad and portends more bad things for regular people.

Bari Weiss once wrote an NYT column under the headline "We're All Fascists Now."
She said Dave Rubin was called an "anti-Fascist lieutenant" by lefties.
She linked to a Twitter account called "Official Antifa" (left).
The most amazing correction followed. (right)

web.archive.org/web/20180307...

Looks like the Fascist Lieutenant @RubinReport is speaking at an Alt-Right event today. You know what to do, comrades. #Antifa #NoPlatform

Editors’ Note: March 7, 2018

An earlier version of this essay cited criticism of the commentator Dave Rubin as an example of left-leaning attacks on liberals in the public sphere, and linked to tweets that described him as a fascist. Those tweets came from an account that has been reported to be fake. Therefore the example and the links have been removed.

"'Look at these sad babies who are brown, but don't name their killer; don't name the perpetrator; don't name why they are being starved.' You don't name the doer. It does the work of the occupier. It strips agency from the people of Palestine & accountability from the Zionist regime."—Eman Mohammed

The Flytrap @theflytrapmedia.com · 2d

NEW! from @nicolefroio.bsky.social: The reason governments, universities, and other public institutions across the world want to quash pro-Palestine speech—including art and music—is because they understand the danger it poses to life as we know it. Which is all the more reason to say it louder.

Censorship of Pro-Palestine Speech in the Music Industry Shows the Power of Demands for Decolonization

The liberation of Palestine is a threat to how we live today—that’s precisely why we should keep calling for it.
