"The flotilla was sailing in accordance with international law, outside Israeli jurisdiction. We call on the Canadian government & people to condemn this crime and to demand the immediate release of all abducted volunteers, as well as an end to Israel’s illegal blockade & ongoing genocide in Gaza."

"I did not believe Israel would reach the point of starving people to death. I did not believe it would, on average, erase a classroom of children every single day for two whole years. Nor did I believe the world would permit Israel to do all this."

Julia Carrie Wong @joolia.bsky.social · 1d

"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."

Pep is objectively correct. On average, Israel kills 35 children every day in Gaza. With Israel blocking most food aid, around a quarter of all Gaza residents were suffering from famine in August. Together, this constitutes genocide, according to the International Association of Genocide Scholars

Man City manager Pep Guardiola:

“On 4 October at 12.00 pm we will flood the streets to demand an end to the genocide.”

www.onmanorama.com/sports/footb...

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has spoken out strongly on the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, describing it as a “genocide in real time” and urging people across the world to mobilise and pressure governments into action.

“We are witnessing a live, ongoing genocide in which thousands of children have already died and others may still perish,” Guardiola said in a statement. “The Gaza Strip is devastated, and masses of people wander without direction, without food, drinking water or medicines.”

If the government shuts down does that mean we can’t afford to keep sending the bombs to Israel for them to complete their genocide?

"Israel has been conducting this type of campaign from day one: of saturation bombing, mass slaughter, destruction of all infrastructure that can sustain life – healthcare, education, housing, religious and cultural sites; for significant periods it has amounted to the imposition of mass starvation"
