NEW: Extraordinary scenes in Amsterdam this afternoon (Sunday, Oct 5).

An estimated 250,000 bring the city to a standstill; people all wearing red to show solidarity with Palestine 🇵🇸

Gisteren trok een haatorgie door Londen, aangemoedigd door invloedrijke internationale haatpredikers, gericht tegen moslims, migranten en iedereen die niet past in het wereldbeeld van witte suprematisten.
Maar het echte probleem zijn een paar punkers die de Israëlische genocide bekritiseren.

Kamerleden die zich opwinden over wat een rapper in Paradiso roept en die het geen fuck kan schelen dat Israël een genocide aan het plegen is . Ik zeg ; die Kamerleden zijn gajes van het ergste soort . Met name die van de VVD , de BBB en de PPV #Paradiso #Genocide #Israël

Ik bedoel: als Hang Youth zegt ‘Leg de zuidas in de as’ dan gaan we toch ook niet allemaal van: “Ooooh hij roept op tot brandstichting, dat mag niet!”

Fotografie kan een instrument voor verandering zijn, vonden de leden van de Photo League. Een tentoonstelling in het Joods Museum in Amsterdam brengt hun idealen in herinnering, maar ook hoe het politieke de groep uiteindelijk fataal werd.

Our statement on the Board's deafening silence on the Gaza genocide sparked a fierce debate in the Council. Jouke de Vries' response was as weak as it was predictable.

To be continued very soon.

Israël terroriseert, bombardeert en hongert Palestijnen uit. Israël kan vandaag de poort openen en voedsel toelaten als de EU eindelijk optreedt en keiharde sancties invoert tegen de genicidale staat. Dat dat niet gebeurt is totale onwil, geen onmacht. Dit is net zo goed onze genocide.

Op @jacobinnl.bsky.social schreef ik over de noodzaak van een duidelijke strategie wanneer historische aantallen op straat weinig tot geen invloed heeft.

Demonstraties, sit-ins en petities lijken maar weinig te veranderen aan het beleid van de Nederlandse regering ten aanzien van Israël. @sanvanlan.bsky.social betoogt dat het tijd is om ons nu zo te organiseren dat verandering kan worden afgedwongen – bijvoorbeeld op de werkvloer.

The Forum library in Groningen also does not disappoint when it comes to films and series. So far, I found almost everything I was looking for including quite obscure and old stuff.

Barely an hour ago, Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif warned us all:

“If this madness doesn’t end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased — and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.”

Israel just killed him.

The EU will keep warning Israel until the last Palestinian in Gaza is either killed by Israeli’s military or by its starvation policy.
